Ah well, Apple'll probably make back up the cost of that iPad through the apps that guy will buy in the app store on his iPad and on his Mac.
...if his wife lets him do that...

I cant see this really happening...the 3DS has been selling far below expectations at retail and didn't even make its numbers for shipped units. While there is a segment that seems to like 3d, it seems the far larger majority just doesn't care for it. I know that unless it was able to be turned off with no effect on the viewing angle or image quality I wouldn't buy one.

iPad 3 - iPad 3D
I could really see that, with the iPhone 3G (it was actually the 3rd phone) and had 3G.
And it will be called:
iPad 3D.
You heard it here first folks.
Thanks to both you because Apple probably hasn't thought of this already.

Think you're imagining it. Have updated my MB and i still can't hear the fan in normal usage. I expect it will kick in at some time when it decides things are getting a bit hot.
I think the original poster was talking about the speaker volume, and I happen to agree - I think my speaker volume is slightly louder.

In a word, no. I've seen the demonstrations on the Internet about how you can find another person using a Zune and give them a song they can play three times. It takes forever. By the time you've gone through all that, the girl's got up and left! You're much better off to take one of your earbuds out and put it in her ear. Then you're connected with about two feet of headphone cable.
So in other words. With Zune you can share music wirelessly. With an iPod you can increase the chances of getting to the next base! That is a great feature!

My wife said no too and this even includes my wish for one for my upcoming bday to get one.
I need a new iMac Quad Core or Macbook Pro quad core (would need to have 8gb ram and minimum 750gb to 1tb hard drive), plus I need a larger time machine backup drive and my wife keeps telling me no also.
But for me, it is not a toy. I've been unemployed for the last almost year and now my computer has become a work machine for free-lancing. I will need a power-horse as I am considering the reality of having to start my own business, as there are no jobs around here.
My wife really was not happy when I bought my iPad 1 last year. I had to settle for a wifi only version. Now she says "Yeah, it is awesome and you do get a lot of use out of it, but I still think the money could've been better spent".
My iPad is my mobile machine. I take it to conferences, job hunting, classes, church, meeting with my free-lance clients, etc. And my 2008 (heavily used) macbook is my home machine. Internal drive is getting full, external drives are going on 3-5 years old and with only 2gb ram, I can no longer run a VM for my very few windows-only needs (darn web hosting companies or websites that are SQL server and IE only driven).

The issue being that Halo proportionately seems to have a greatest number of jerks playing, as compared to say other games.
I think you're choosing to miss my point. The feeling amongst many is that Halo proportionately has the greatest collection pinheads collectively. Whether Halo had only 4 people, 3 of them would be @$$hats, while say Forza ( which does have some seriously anal players ) might have 1 out of 4 jerks. The fact that Halo is the biggest online portion of Live, is besides the point, law of averages aside.
The shame is that a game as great as Halo, somehow brings out the worse in such a large portion of it's players.
... And yes, the PA cartoon is dead on. :)
I also promise I'm done with this, I just wanted to make sure I was clear. :)

Can anyone confirm the battery life is addressed?
The update was just released minutes ago, their is no way anyone can have an accurate answer until after testing it for a few hours.
No one can confirmed the battery performance has improved after just 10 minutes of testing it.

..hmm... as many of you know .mac has really been struggling in the past few months.
Prediction:
Steve will announce an all new .mac service, with web based applications reserved solely for .mac members. Also a new feature will be the ability to store videos on your .mac which can be streamed to your iphone and AppleTV 2.
j.
These would be nice.
Also direct machine to machine syncing, synching to iphone/touch would be very nice.

With newspaper profits tanking, this may be the way to resurrect the American newspaper. Grab your iPod off the dock in the morning and read the Times on your iPod while you're sitting on the train.

1) Yea ok, keep dreaming fantasy boy.
2) The stories you read online dont actually count as a measure of Apples quality control.
I've never had to return any of a dozen Apple devices.
1) Name calling is so childish
2) Assuming is.... Well you know what they say
Sorry you're feeling so down.

Simple answer:
No. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Not next month. Next year.
i doubt it, arnt apples sales of desktops down? and notebooks up?
the macbook will be revised after the macmini
No.
No.
New MBs only at the next Macworld 2007
No way. Probably not until 1st quarter 2007 (fiscal).
Ahhhh... feels good to read these pearls right now, doesn't it? We've got so many prophets here in MacRumors :D

i may be wrong (and don't flame me if i am,) but it seems like the 6G ipod should make its way to the shelves instead of an updated 5G. the 5G has been out for almost a year , hasn't it?
I think Apple has really reached a fork in the road when it comes to the iPod.
Do they really want to start selling these things as vidoe players, not just music players that play video? If so, everyone knows they need a bigger screen and that is going to run up the price of the iPod.
So they have a choice:
(1) Introduce a true video iPod and ask more for it.
(2) Drop in bigger HDs into the current line.
The introduction of movie rentals might be a testing ground to see if people are really buying the idea. So if the iVideo Store (?) does well, this might indicate that people really want true, big scree video iPods. If it does so-so that might tell Apple that they should just keep the iPod primarilly a music player and the vidoe playback be an extra feature.
If they do introduce a more expensive, full screen iPod, they need a cheap[er], higher capacity only-music player too. This is where the Nano comes in. They need to be sure they have a good, well built, atractive line of Nanos for their customers that do not want to take the plunge to the video side.
The introduction of a new Nano and a video store but not a 6G iPod might indicate that they are stilling trying to decide which direction to take the 6G. I would say that if they do introduce the video store and a new Nano on the 12th a new iPod will be out before Christmas (no later that Thanksgiving, late November).
All this is based on the assumption that a true video iPod would cost more than the current line. I make this assumption based on the fact that they need bigger hard drives, bigger screens, and better battery. All these improvements are bound to increase the price.

No, the way this works is to effectly by-pas all that. All buffer overflow "hacks" do this.
What you do is send a poorly formatted, out of spec network packet. The driver reads the packet which is oversized and places it in memory. The packet being over sized over writes some of the driver code. Some of this over written code is an entry point to the driver. So the next time that entry point is called the hackers code is executed. .
Some of this points out the wisdom of the IBM AS400 design: code and data were separately tagged entities. It was not possible to execute "data," nor was it possible to tag "data" as "code" without OS intervention; even drivers could not do this since the tagging was a hardware function and drivers ran at a different security level. Of course, the machine was exceedingly slow, but it was an interesting hardware/software design decision to tag all contents of memory.

Top Secret stuff? You mean like a movie download service? Or a Front Row PVR? iPhone software?
I find it interesting that he didn't say anything about Front Row and how it would be improved. He didn't say anything about iChat and how it might evolve into a phone service with an integrated iPod/iPhone. In fact, everything they did show are pretty much improvements to existing technologies, except Time Machine (way cool). They didn't add HD-DVD/Blueray to the Mac Pros. I guess what I'm getting at are things that didn't show up are most likely software technologies that have an accompaning hardware device to go with it, and since those products aren't ready they can't spill the beans just yet.
Mac World in January is going to be amazing!
I'd say chances are very good we will see Steve give another keynote before the holidays roll around. This will be an event focusing on those "Top Secret" features. Afterall, they can't just release Leopard in early 2007 without showing off these features first. They just have to time it right so Microsoft doesn't "photocopy" it. :p
By the way, I love Apple's random stabs at Microsoft and Windows Vista. I love it! :D

Will this recall ever expire?
The reason im asking is that my 3k550 A1079 12" PB battery only has been through 18 battery loadcycles and still has 100% capacity according to cocounut battery...
Im wondering If I should get it replaced right now or wait untill my current battery starts running out of juice? What would you guys do?
edit: My pb warps every once in a while, could a new battery fix the problem?
and risk having the battery catch on fire or actually do something worse? that would be stupid
