Then it comes BG giving money to the sick. Pathetic!
Hint: use P2P and Internet to give NO money to M$. Give your money to TRUE blood-free charity instead.

I think everyone is getting a little to excited here. Makes sense to me that it is the iPad 2. Or am i missing something?

Did Canadian prices actually go down? The 27-inch: 3.1GHz is only $1999, when I think it was $2099 before the refresh.

Oh yeah, he thinks he's underpaid. :rolleyes: They're gonna tell him to hit the road and end the show.
I wouldn't be so sure of that. The show generates over $100 million a year for CBS.

This does not necessarily mean that Apple's iPhone 5 will not have the hybrid chip. It is entirely possible that Apple could be working very close with Qualcomm and they could announce the Iphone 5 in late September just not ship it until November 2011 or even close to the end of the year.

Why?
I thought AT&T's buyout means T-Mobile is going bye-bye?
408 area code, that means cali. is that steve jobs' personal number? :P
They won't. Even if this deal gets approved, T-Mobile will remain a separate company. Everything will remain as it is, except the fact that all revenue will go to AT&T.

Why? I'd love to buy some Beats headphones. Like the style of it.
For some reason I overlooked the Phillips, I was looking for something the hooked around my ear with an iPod Control (in-ears fall out too easy). I asked around and the Powerbeats and B&O were something people recommended (my iPhone earphones were dying). The mistake was asking on a gaming forum, really, and so after selling some things, I went and blew $160.
Upon day one, the sound is nice, although I'm not an audiophile, I didn't want to purchase the Apple headphones because they DID sound bad. Upon 30 minutes into listening, it felt like someone took a razorblade to the back and inside of my ears; they were god uncomfortable. I tried giving it a few more days and seeing maybe they would stretch or so, but I couldn't enjoy the music because they were pinching my ears so much.
Even then, at least 2 days after purchase, I caught a glimpse of me asking myself "....did I really just pay $160 for a pair of headphones 'made' by a celebrity?" I use earbuds for my iPhone when listening to public where I may need to hear something or turn them down, and using the microphone even on the Apple earbuds were a great help. When I want to distant myself from the earth when by myself, I always have been a fan of Sonys Street Style MDR-G45LP (http://www.jr.com/sony/pe/SON_MDRG45LP/). I've purchased these headphones for my iPod specifically since middle school, and for $14-20, its was good enough and loud enough (I think since middle school I've been through 20+ pairs). I've stopped using them in public because everyone kept getting mad when they would call my name. Frequently, setting my stuff down and taking them off was followed by a slap in the back of the head and my friend screaming "YOU MADE ME LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT! I WAS SCREAMING YOUR NAME FROM ACROSS THE HUB (my college's version of a "cafeteria"), DID YOU NOT HEAR ME?!"
(Apparently I didn't after the second yell).
Did another search and the Phillips had the same style with the remote (dont know why I didn't see it before). So I got those + $108 back.
I was curious about the Bang & Olufsen Earbud 3's (http://www.amazon.com/Bang-Olufsen-Headset-Microphone-Compatible/dp/B0015HROMY/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top) but they're $200 and not sold in stores (or any around me) so I would have at least want to be able to return them if I didn't like it.
Anyways, thats my story, and the Phillips are great so far. I wasn't looking for anything top line, and I guess I was just putting my foot in the mainstream end of the pool, but its true: Beats are just not worth it. For me.

I'm hoping the MobileMe revamp means that some parts of the current service become free while things like this Music Cloud thing are part of the paid MobileMe.
This would mean that, as a paying subscriber I wouldn't need to pay extra for the Cloud Service since I'm already paying for the full MobileMe vs the free one with less features.
Whether it's the same yearly price or a reduced one would be cool, but if it's more expensive (I don't see why it would be if some basic features become free) then it wouldn't be worth it unless they add some new really awesome features to fill in the gap that the free parts would leave.

I leave the house to drive to work and I miss all the excitement! Grats to all those who are getting new MBPs today! *jealous* :D
Edit: I just got a chance to look at the upgrades and I'm very excited. For a similar spec in the 17", the C2D is $400 cheaper than its Yonah counterpart would have been. Makes me wish I didn't have to wait until the spring to buy!
17" Spec:
2GB RAM
100GB @ 7200
Yonah: $3099
C2D: $2699
:D

If it has a slide-out keyboard it's already fail.

Imagine the iPhone 4 sitting in the 3GS position a year from now. It will be amazing you can get a phone like that for the price it will be available for...
The current 3GS with the cheapest plan you can get from AT&T would cost you 90% of what the same plan and a 4 would cost you.
Not sure what's amazing about that, and I'm pretty sure that when the 5 is out, the 4 will end up costing roughly the same.
Hardly amazing.
Unless you're math challenged.
Which anyone would be anyone who would consider such a deal for 3GS now or for a 4 when 5 is out.
Considering the number of 3GS still being sold, there's a lot of math challenged iOS users out there.

A good guess is 41 min per frame, 18k PPD, about the same as the old 2007 3Ghz...
http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=11314&start=0
has all sort of speed tests.
see that's not all that impressive to me. you would think 8 real cores, or 16 cores with HT, would beat 4 real cores or 8 with HT. i mean i could buy 3 machines like my i7 for the same price as an octo mac pro 2.26. i'd rather have the mac pro, but i just can't justify it right now. maybe when the i9 comes out
18k PPD is pretty impressive. . . . if you run it in windows you could use the vid card too, probably pull close to 25k. I would love to see Pande Group put out a GPU client for mac OS X.... I'm getting sick of running windows 90% of the time on my Mac Pro.
yeah but you can't run the bigadv units in windows, and i can't get them to run in a VM either.
With these new big units no more need for GPU...
What would be nice is to run OS X and the big units, the GPU with WINE with a couple of fast Nvidia cards...
We just need one of the smart guys here to do a step by step for us...
yeah we do. i'm not one of those smart guys, and i'm too lazy to try and look up how to get GPU working in linux. i know you can do it though

i'm on my second mighty mouse [soon to be third once i have this once replaced] in 6 months. the scroll wheel stops working pretty quickly. i don't find the size of it all too comfortable.. but when it's fully functional it's a decent mouse.
if they don't fix the scroll wheel issues though, i'd say the BT version is worthless. it's unacceptable that apple hasn't fixed this issue on the wired version. they can replace it all they want, it's still going to break a month or two later. plus, it takes 30 minutes or so for them to replace it, which is rather annoying.
all in all, cool that it's BT now, but terrible if they don't fix both versions.

What third world country are you living in, where 50% of computer users could never afford a Mac?
Havent looked at PC prices in awhile? Most PC's these days are less than $1000 and come with a monitor. The cheapest iMac is $1300 and doesnt have the same "desirability" that a tower has to people looking for the best bang for their buck (even though they are technically the same). Mini's are $600 and dont come with a monitor, keyboard, or mouse, they mainly appeal to old PC owners wanting to try a mac. PC's are very cheap these days, just take a stroll through dell's site to see what people can get for less than $800 and what Apple will need to do if they expect to compete.

I agree. I think the 'gain' in processor speed will be hard to notice. But for many of us, the 'drop' in gpu performance (which is already marginal with the 320m) will be deadly.
Agreed, even though I mainly game on my desktop. I still occasionally play wow and starcraft on my air. The drop in GPU performance would most definitely affect me more than the marginal CPU increase.

Just placed my order. Saved $8 with education discount but shipping cost 6 cause it took the price below the free shipping limit. What to do with the 2 bucks I saved by being thrifty!
Now I will have 2 computers and 4 mouse's (1BT, 2 wired MT's and 1 BT MT). Lucky I have friends that will take my hand me downs. :)
Shipping in 6-8 weeks in Canada, I will have forgot I ordered it by the time it arrives.
