I think this thread has started to become unraveled. It's a freaking banner with somewhat arbitrarily picked/placed Apple products and software people! It's cool that we got to see Apple's welcome banner, isn't that enough?
Amen to that!!!!

I think something that's hugely undersold recently is the extra security. Macs provide better security (no matter how you slice it) and with less nagging. This may not be a big deal to tech-savvy people who know how to protect themselves, but my mom getting a virus on her computer ranks up there with being audited by the IRS.
That kind of stress on a normal user will make them switch and never look back.
Sad part is, as adoption increases...so will viruses/malware/trojans/etc.
Best analogy Ive heard is:
Windows 7 is a house with bars on the windows, and industrial locks on the doors...in Baltimore.
OSX is a house with no locks, in the middle of nowhere.

I love how everybody is like "I've got the CDs who cares" or "Buy the CDs they are cheaper". The Beatles on iTunes isn't for you. It is for people who don't buy CDs, it's for the future when the majority of people get digital music and it's certainly for a whole generation of kids who won't know what a CD is or care, in the same way that vinyl is now seen as archaic.
I'm sure I am repeating someone else's thoughts, but it doesn't seem clear to a lot of people.
I would love nothing more than to have a one stop shop in itunes for my music, but the fact of the matter is that buying the CD set is #1 cheaper, #2 not copyright protected so if I want to lend a cd to someone else i can. I can't lend someone my itunes catalog unless I dish out my user account info.#3 Better audio quality. Going all digital download would make sense if it were significantly cheaper but on iTunes it isn't.
iTunes just doesn't give enough value nowadays for what they offer. They force you to make backups instead of being able to go on your account and download everything you bought if you need to again. (That is increased cost on my side, because I have to buy more hardware to do it and need to not only store it but store it again as backup.) Think about the fact that you bought that music from them but don't have the right to download it more than once. They are not dealing with manufacturing, production and transportation costs of physical media and shipping yet they charge FULL price and rarely offer a bargain on anything. They are horsef**king everyone. I do realize they might pay for licensing rights although that may be mitigated to some extent by giving the artist 70% of sales while apple retains 30%.
Amazon does this right with physical media and digital content. It's cheaper.
Apple is way too greedy when it comes to digital content. Their cost is paltry to store it somewhere and let people download it.
They just rake massive profit margins on digital content without passing their cost savings on to the consumers. Most of the time you can go out and buy a blu-ray cheaper than their HD downloads. That is not right. They are raping the fools who purchase that content. As long as people keep buying, they will not change their strategy and everyone will continue to pay full retail price for things that should cost half.

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!

It's funny because there are devices that allow you to do these things.
Apple allows the normal people to move forward in the technology world.
You're right. Apple is a prime example of making otherwise foreign technology mainstream with a little cachet. Sounds simple, but it ain't.

In regards to 9 to 5 post i saw someone comment that it was on macrumors hmepage
but when i looked it wasnt
one of my friends tweeted the headline about possible mbp rumors i guess before it went down
what happened?:confused:
It was judged to be a hoax, just like all the MBP rumors so far.

You have to consider the problems that Apple has had with heat and portables of late. There would likely be heat issues with such a portable, which makes it even more plausible that Apple won't make such a portable.
I think this 10.5" 3lbs sounds possible. I don't think they would ever try to fit it with high-end proc's which would be like begging for heat issues. That Lifebook mentioned earlier is also running with "only" 1.2GHz Pentium M which I'm sure is enough for a machined sized that small. But 2000$ is quite a big price to pay. That's why I think this could be a place for Apple to take control over. But not anytime soon though.

I have dinosaur fossil pictures from this same day, and I also have a series of pictures of Lilburn, GA old town (suburb where I live that is near Atlanta). Anyone have a preference?

Regarding the new MacBooks... I think one of the more important aspects of the new processors is that they support USB 3.0, so without any historical speculation I would assume that USB 3.0 would be included in the next update -- USB 2.0 would seem rather silly, since I bet the bus would have to be wired in some sort of "legacy" mode that would be pointless (probably comperably complex to implement) besides the additional expense of 3.0 ports etc.
I know for me that the show-stopper on buying a current MBP is the hope for USB 3.0 and a faster discrete GPU in the future.

No one is moving the goal posts, you're not answering my questions. I'm just comparing to prove a point. No one else is whining about past discrimination except blacks. Everyone was discriminated at some point. They've all moved past it.
More falsehoods. There is absolutely no equivalence in terms of discrimination between whites and blacks within the scope of western history. None. Since when were whites discriminated against on a scale even within several orders of magnitude of that inflicted on black people? Not to mention that it's insulting to describe reactions to discrimination as "whining". You have a very large chip on your shoulder against perceived excesses of what you call "political correctness", but you appear to be either dismissive or completely ignorant of some basic facts that I have cited - facts that have a fundamental bearing on the issue.
Nein. What uncited assertion? I provided you with facts and statistics. You just don't seem to like them and don't want to face the facts. But that's ok.
That's completely untrue. You haven't provided a single fact or statistic to back up your statements.
Which is BS. Why should i find a country without a history of racial prejudice? Again, all the other races have moved past it except blacks.
Why? Because you suggested they exist - but you won't find one, because once again you are simply making things up. Your arguments are informed by emotion, not fact. Unless you can find some real evidence to back up these statements, they are nothing but bigotry.
Beside the fact, many blacks in the UK are immigrants and their ancestors didn't even deal with racial prejudice in the UK. So figure that one out.
Racial prejudice exists everywhere -yes, even in Africa amongst different nationalities and ethnic groups, all of whome are "black" - and it is not limited to Africans either. Look at the way Irish immigrants have been treated in the UK and US in the past. They are as white as any "white", and yet they suffered many of the exact same types prejudice as any other minority, barring slavery only.
The stated purpose of your "pondering" was to discover why gun crime is so prevalent among blacks in London. Your (baseless) assertions are bent towards suggesting that the problems stem from something inherent in black "culture" or some other internal cause. You dismiss all external factors as "political correctness" or invented "whining" by blacks themselves. You also try to act as if prejudice is something we've "gotten over" but blacks can't let go of. This is all vague bigotry, misinformation and lies, with absolutely no supporting evidence to back it up. In fact, you have proven over and over again that many people haven't "gotten over" old racial prejudices.
This is no longer an argument; it's merely contradiction on your part.

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.

I am seriously thinking of getting out of Windowsworld and the new 24" iMac looks great!:D
From the listed specs this will really rock.
Anybody have advice on whether I should wait for Leopard to come out or not?
Why wait? It's perfect! You'll drive yourself crazy waiting. It's like staring at a sizzling steak in front of your face, but deciding not to eat it until April!
