I used XP earlier today to install IE7* and had completely forgotten how horrid it is to install anything in Windows. My OS X experience has been so much better I was actually surprised that I had to restart Windows after the IE7 install was complete (which took 5 minutes by itself). I still can't believe how much I'd forgotten about why I hate Windows. What a horrid OS.

I don't see how he's not arrogant. The message from Justin always seems to go something like... "Oh you get viruses, oh, ouch, that sucks, because, um, I don't."
You know, on second thought, you're right, he's modest. :rolleyes:
Oh, PLEASE. Don't tell me you think he's arrogant because of his script. He doesn't write the damn thing and if he did, the commercials would be in severe trouble. Did you read the frickin' blog? He sounds like a 14-year-old girl on AIM. "OMG, i so totally ddnt quit the apple commercials, LOL!!!1! tehy payz me real good. *tee hee* well 2day i 8 toaster stroodul (i dont kno how to spell that!) 4 breakfast. it was yummy! i drew a dollar sine w/the frosting! LOLOL! peece out!"
*rolls eyes*
Maybe he really did graduate from "South Harmon Institute of Technology."
Humanity embarrasses me.

So that's it? Nobody else from MacRumors is planning to be there? :confused:When I read your thread title I was thinking how I botched it last year ('cause I got free passes and did NOT go) and how I'd like to go this year if only I could get in for free. :p
So I guess I'll try to go this year... :D Thanks for posting that link, Flowbee.

:edit again: Same priority code can be reused. :p

My number one concern. I need a pda with my phone, and if Apple's not doing it, I'm stuck.
Wouldnt it be great if apple iphone had features of a phone, pda, and ipod and if it can be used as a modem for a laptop to access the internet?

Because you were becoming irrationally exuberant - I thought that you needed some balance ;) .
I also wonder about this Intel diagram:
http://www.geekwithlaptop.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/intel-thunderbolt-3.jpg(click to enlarge)
If this applies to the Imac TBolt ports, then the two TBolt ports in fact share bandwidth from the single PCIe x4 connection. The combined max throughput of the two ports would be no better than that of a single TBolt port.
Another moot point, though, since no TBolt devices can be purchased.
Why would it be shared? There are 8 empty lanes so couldn't there be two x4 slots for TBs so both get their own?
TBH the 27" IMac is sounding very tempting with the double TB and SB
why on earth is the HDD not sata-3
i was planning on copping an IMac for my family home, as my parent and sisters love my MBP - but i really do not care if the IMac CPU is 10-15% faster, when the hdd only links to sata3 - as i would of put an owc ssd in!
Guess i will wait for a 2012 re-fresh when apple finally recognises sata-6
i hope, rather than giving us TB - which i love, but at this point in time is a little redundant as there is no TB equipped peripherals available - hopefully a next gen apple cinema display with OLED and TB would also get my cash!
You can get Thunderbolt SSD once the enclosures start to arrive in a month or two.

A couple of FYIs - A few people expressed interest in meeting again today at the Horseshoe. There's a "Best of Show" event that ends at 3:45, so the meet-up prolly won't happen until around 4:00.
If I make it today it will probably be on the late side. We decided to take the ferry over to Sausalito this morning.
Sounds like a plan, I'll probably see if I can make it to the Best of Show too so 4:00 seems better for today.

heya,
Man, you Mac fanbois are funny...lol.
I just bought my first Mac two weeks ago, and I'm liking the hardware. But the one thing that does turn me off is the rabid fanboism of the Apple community *sigh*. There are many lovely Apple afficandos out there, but it's the overly vocal minority that turns me off.
It's like the less they know, the louder they shout. I think this thread shows the level of immaturity and ignorance quite well.
Please people, instead of crawling out of your mother's basement to yell "Apple rules! Nokia Sucks!", can you please do some research.
Groklaw has a fairly nice issue on the writeup:
http://www.groklaw.net/articlebasic.php?story=20100828132209651
with an analysis by people probably far more qualified than you.
Nokia's patent complains are largely based on hardware - things like GSM, wireless radio transmission etc. Things that take billions of dollars of R&D, and that you can't really work around if you want to make say...gee...a cellular telephone?
Apple's patents are largely on nice, shiny things, and how certain user elements are arranged on the screen. Yes, they are a master of polish, and they're anally retentive and perfectionist in their products - but don't kid yourselves, it's much easier to work around these "patents" on the look and feel, than it is to make a phone that doesn't infringe on 20 years worth of RF and wireless technology.
And look - a smartphone is a mobile phone, kiddies. It's not some magicaly new device all on its own. At the end of the day, it has a radio transmitter, it connects to the GSM network. It's a cellphone, with PDA functionality built in, ok.
And Apple isn't litigious? What a joke? Apple is one of the more litigious tech companies out there. You compare them to Google, or IBM, or heck, even Microsoft recently, and they make them look like the Mother Teresa of patent generosity. Apple are as bad as Oracle, in my books.
Apple will sue anything left right and centre. Remember their patents on things like "multi-touch", or "touchscreen phones". What a joke. As I said above, I admire Apple (and I'm admiring my new Mac) for it's polish, and a good user experience.
But I'm an engineer by profession, and I don't underestimate how much more hard work it actually takes to create a robust, well-engineered phone that works...as a phone. The whole iPhone 4G antenna fiasco is a classic example - this was something that companies like Nokia, Motorola and RIM have figured out the hard way, with years and years of research and engineering - and it's something that Apple will hopefully catchup to.
Cheers,
victor

So why is it Apple can say it's OK to leave this tracking "bug" on my iPhone 3G running iOS 4.2.1, and only fix the iPhone 3GS and 4?
It's not a "tracking" bug, it's a security hole and Apple can say it's OK because they are not obligated in any way to fix bugs on discontinued and unsupported devices.

Anybody know if that is possible for Xbox? My guess would be no since it's Microsoft, but I'll look into anyway.
If you're asking about the FREE PC deal, no. Since Steamworks is not used for the xbox version, it's considered a different type of platform. Here, Valve's goal was that since Steamworks is all integrated, like between windows/osx that you pay once for the game and you get it on all tied platforms. Like any other steamworks/steamplay games. Since the PS3 version works similarly, they could do that since PS3 players can play with PC players. Xbox guys are by themselves on this one.

Based on your assertions, it would appear that the wife's temporary lack of judgement is inexcusable, but the husband's abuse of a controlled substance is an excuse for attempted murder. If the husband was under the influence of an illegal drug at the time, then that sounds like an additional charge to me, not a defense.
Assuming the husband had never reached speeds above 5-10 mph, and the wife tripped and broke her ankle when climbing off of the car, I'd tend to agree with your assertions that the wife is partially responsible. However, no reasonable person drives a car at high speeds with an unwilling person on the hood. I don't see how the husband's violation of additional laws can justly be used to place blame on the wife.
I am in no way saying that because he was under the influence of drugs his behavior is excused. You said she may not have known she was putting herself in harms way. I'm saying when you are dealing with an angry, possibly drug addicted man how can you not think you would be putting yourself in harms way? It's an even better reason for her to let him drive away. Not jump on his freaking car.
The guy is guilty, and will be convicted. But, come on. That doesn't change the fact that he was trying to remove himself from what was probably an already volatile situation. And she wouldn't let him.

Here here. They are even encoding HD 16x9 TV Shows in 4x3 - unbelieveable. For last year being the year of HD, the iTunes Store Video Encode Department apparently didn't get the memo.
Until they come out with an iPod with a widescreen display I don't see the point. The display on the current iPod is small enough as it is. Unless they address this I can't see downloading any videos.

Anyone bought the 11" Air even though they knew the 13" may of been a better choice and far as productivity and spec's are concerned?
I had both, I choose the 13" MBA for 'practical reasons' ... I'm on my computer a LOT, a larger screen typically means more productivity, more power can come in handy, as can the larger HD and SD slot .... and the 13" isn't really that much less portable than the 11".
Decision made, right? Wrong.
I really miss the 11. What is it that is so damn compelling? For me it's not the price difference ... it's just that perfect size I guess ... so super easy to grab and go, do work on, it just works and is inviting to use, perhaps the most inviting notebook I've ever used.
Anyone else feel the same way or have the same experience?
If so what size did you end up with and why?

The page http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3 says you need MacOS 10.6.6.
"You must be running Snow Leopard to address 8GB on these systems."
Did you look on the site before asking your question here?
Even odder, IMO, why would someone stick with Leopard on any Intel Mac is beyond me. Upgrade to Snow Leopard already! It's stable and generally uses *less* resources than Leopard on the same hardware. I loathe using my Leopard based machines at this point.
