This is exactly how I got into the Mac market.
After getting an iPhone 3G, when it came time for a new laptop, I decided to give Mac a go. I absolutely loved the hardware.
A few months ago, when it was time for a new desktop, iMac 27 inch was the machine of choice. I still prefer Windows 7 over Mac OS and Bootcamp/Win 7 is the first thing I install on new Mac hardware.
I like having both options available to me.
You are aware you just paid extra for only one think and that is MAC os. By placing windows on it you kind of defeat the purpose of buying a MAC. You wasted a lot of money in fact. Never buy a mac for hardware...Because they do not have the best.

Where is my 2 lb Apple laptop? Sony has one. Panasonic has one.
Apple will never make a laptop that is that size because it would mean that they would have to take out the optical drive and make the computer ultimately worthless without a docking station. Apple will never make a computer that isn't fully capable from the start.

From one human rights disaster to another.
I'd pay more for a product Made in America that is contributing to our growing economy and feeding starving, hard working Americans.
To be honest, I'm from Germany and I would never ever pay an extra cent for a product manufactured in the US. The caption "Made in the USA" just suggests "Don't buy me, I'm going to suck". All these products I bought that were made in the US were overpriced and mostly of far worse manufacturing quality than comparable products from Asia or Europe. Just my experience, not that I hate Americans or anything, I like their ideas, creativity, inspiration and stuff, but the rest is better done by other people.

Getting a new one too...shame that the Apple site is pretty much crashing under the load...
Actually now I took it out I notice a minor bump in the battery. I wonder if it's just a small little screw or a slightly inflated (about to explode) battery.

man i wish 3D would just disappear...
You need an eye patch, in that case ;)
BTW, this rumor is 100% false -- the only thing on an iPad that would really benefit from a 3D display is 3D movies, but I would bet that watching movies on iPad accounts for less than 5% of typical iPad usage, and it'd also mean only one person could watch at a time.
A 3D display for games would not work on iPad because you have to keep moving the thing about -- either for the accelerometers or as you hold it in one hand a swipe away -- and that movement would totally destroy the narrow 3D effect of a glasses-free 3D screen.
3D based on head-tracking would be very interesting, but that definitely doesn't require a new display. In fact, a 3DS style display wouldn't work precisely because you have to keep your head still for the effect to work.

Haven't heard much from Obama about JOBS, JOBS, JOBS lately ...
Perhaps if you started paying attention... only nine or so days ago:
During a speech to U.S. and Brazilian business leaders, Obama said he sees opportunities for the U.S. to sell more goods and services to Brazil's rapidly growing market of about 200 million consumers. He says the $50 billion in goods and services the U.S. sells to Brazil support more than 250,000 jobs back home.
http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9M2FVU00.htm
and wrote a piece in USAToday just a few days beforehand:
But in this increasingly interconnected and fiercely competitive world, our top priority has to be creating and sustaining new jobs and new opportunities for our people.
Lately, we've seen signs that we're moving in the right direction. Our economy added nearly a quarter of a million new private sector jobs last month, and the unemployment rate is at its lowest level in nearly two years. And to keep that progress going, we've got to keep competing for every new job, every new industry, and every new market in the 21st century.
That's one of the reasons I will travel to Latin America this week � to strengthen our economic relationship with neighbors who are playing a growing role in our economic future.

As for Rand Paul's objections, it's so geopolitically and historically ignorant, it's beyond contempt. It's been hilarious watching the right run around to find a consistent line of attack on this. Congress hasn't declared war since the 1940s.
This is a multilateral action with the backing of a Security Council resolution. The Daily Telegraph's rantings about Al Qaeda are little more than Gaddafi propaganda.
Hizbullah is a Shiite movement of southern Lebanon. There are no Shiites in North Africa, where almost all Muslims are Sunni. Hamas is a Palestinian movement and does not have a branch franchise in Libya. The people of Benghazi and Misrata, together amounting to 1.3 million, the backbone of the liberation movement, are not al-Qaeda, which is not a mass movement. In fact, al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb is like a few hundred guys and is an Algerian organization. I know, I know, pointing out that Michelle Bachmann has said something uninformed is like pointing out that Lady Gaga has done something outrageous. But we are told that Bachmann made a positive impression among possible Republican voters in Iowa recently, and the world in which we live has such persons as potential presidential candidates.
Sarah Palin wants the US military to go into Libya, kill Muammar Qaddafi and then get back out. Palin doesn�t seem to realize that 110,000 US troops on the ground took 8 months just to find Saddam Hussein after they had invaded and occupied Iraq, and that at that point were were bound by Pottery Barn rules per Colin Powell� we had broken the vase and had now owned it. That vase cost about a trillion dollars all told, as Obama pointed out tonight, along with thousands of US and Iraqi lives. Palin lives in a magical world where she can wave her wand and Sarah suddenly gets her way.
Newt Gingrich was for the intervention before he was against it.
And Mitt Romney is all for invading Libya, but thinks the United States should have done it all by itself without consulting allies and apparently should bear all the costs of doing so. Romney alleged that the US �followed France� into Libya, though in fact the US fired 110 Tomahawk missiles at Qaddafi�s anti-aircraft batteries as the engagement was beginning, making it safe for the French pilots to fly missions there.

As for US interests, many of you including the racist fringe christianist Pauls, are not connecting the dots:
For those who ask what the U.S. national interest in Libya is, the correct question is about broad U.S. regional interests. Had the Libyan crisis emerged before the Arab uprisings, intervention would still have been the moral course � though it would have been harder to make the case about U.S. interests. But there is a link among the revolutions sweeping the Arab world that cannot be denied.
First, the uprisings have been, stunningly, peaceful. Even in Yemen � where weapons are everywhere, hundreds of thousands have remained adamant in facing the bullets of security forces by repeating Cairo�s Tahrir Square chant, �Silmiyyah, Silmiyyah� (peaceful, peaceful). For thousands, a whiff of dignity and freedom has overcome the fear of death.
Their success will be the antidote to militant extremists � and thus in the U.S. interest � and their failure would surely turn their energies toward militancy. To be sure, as the Middle East goes through unstable times, al Qaeda will find new opportunities and Washington must remain vigilant. But al Qaeda�s ultimate undoing will be when the vast majority of Arabs and Muslims see it as the primary threat to their aspirations.
http://www.brookings.edu/opinions/2011/0328_libya_telhami.aspx
The entire point of this is in the long-term. Apart from denying a victorious Gaddafi an opportunity to create trouble to his neighbours and destabilise the region, it is to provide support for popular uprisings in order to deny radicalism the oxygen it needs.

The 2.0 model also includes 4MB L2 cache instead of "just" 2MB L2 cache... remember the days when we used to measure L2 in increments of 256KB?
Yes, it drives people to buy the 2.0 model and YES it drives away the others that are not prepared to spend this extra 200$....

So I'm not really proud of what i did today; that is finish halo reach in one sitting (although only on normal).
Its a good game and can't wait to get into the multiplayer which is where i think it will really take off.
The story line is defiantly not as good as Halo or Halo 3. It just does not seem to engage me as much but maybe thats because i read the books and already knew the outcome despite some massive inconstancies.
The game play is still really good and the newish guns are awesome, as well as the armour abilities. And its still got that classic halo feel.
Oh and you can drive forklifts :D
Add me if you wanna play multiplayer sometime soon when the game population picks up a bit gt: HazzaHJ

I think the question of fault is moot, if there is a security problem it needs to be fixed, and if it is a simple fix, that happens before any real life security problems occur, then all the better! What I wonder is are macbooks the only macs with the issue, or only intel macs with wireless cards, or all models using a wireless card. -for example would my powerbook g4 be vulnerable.

They are realizing that 3D is turning into a fad instead of the money cow they were expecting. With a few exceptions the studios are losing a lot of money with 3D and now hope Apple will turn their turd into gold...
I agree

No, but enough sites do make use of it that Apple really should allow the CONSUMER to make the decision to enable or disable it. I know the Apple fanboys will disagree, but I wouldn't expect anything less from those guys.
Thank you.
I think letting consumers decide is stupid. They dont have degrees in technical areas of computing. That's what engineers get paid for, to handle tech stuff. Consumer pays to have technology that works.

The battery is paired with the computer - e.g. one battery goes with the computer serial (don't need to enter that battery serial, it matches up with the computer) and a spare uses its own.

I love the Hecho en China threads!
Every time, posters come out to support China and insult the US. They all use the same talking points:
US workers are lazy
Unions are evil
Regulations against pollution, etc are burdensome
An iPhone would cost $1000 or even more!
Taxes on rich people/corporations are too high.
Hmmm.....sponsored by our right wing, or by Foxcon?
You do understand that the right wing backbone is low income factory worker types in the so-called red states, right?

This would be a huge announcement if it comes in the next week or two. What a great way to get everyone talking about the iPod during the holiday shopping season.
The Beatles albums will sell... but more importantly, they will sell iPods.
