As a parent of a college freshman, after having dealt with Windows computers for many years, I can't imagine sending the kid off to school with a Windows machine. So far, not one problem with his macbook, not one virus, not one problem with spyware. Not one problem with theft! ( I locked it to his desk and won't tell him the combination....) ( he did come home the other day asking where my skill saw was, however,.... Hmmmmmm.....)

And that is the biggest question of them all. If I can't put the music I bought and ripped up in the cloud, what is the point? I am curious to see if this is going to be a paid service, part of Mobile Me or? Can't wait to see how this plays out.
You really think apple is going to let you store music that you didn't buy from them for free? My guess is all music purchased from iTunes can be streamed, and mobile me users can upload theirs.
I hope this isn't just for music though. In mobile me you can upload photos which is nice. I would love to see this done for movies. I buy a movie from apple and can forever stream through my apple tv or iDevice. Or a monthly renting plan.
I want my media to take up less space, be easily accessible, and priced fairly.

Me too! I'm ordering a MacBook Pro on the 19th of January! Do you think that I'll get stuck with iLife '06? If it comes out a week later will I get a free upgrade?
I'm not actually ordering mine, I'm buying it at (Singapore) Changi Airport (go parents credit card!, go!) so I doubt I'd get a cd slipped in :(

Getting a little ahead of ourselves on the GPU?? How about Apple clocking the X1600 at ATI's default speed, first.;)
why is it getting ahead of ourselves?
The ATI or NVidia are both avail, and being sold by competitors.
Why wait to use the best technology? to save money and profit margins?
remember the laptops have the graphics GPU on a small separate card. they can change that, offer different options/models.
I just want the best laptop possible. period.
apple should let us clock the components the way we want. so you and i are both happy. just an idea. i bet overclocking would use more power though. which doesnt matter. 3/4 of the time my laptop is on a plug in power source.

The home button is part of the mechanism for escaping crashes so it would be a bit dumb to have the means of escape software based' ie touch.
Going "touch" does not necessarily mean controlled by high-level software. Take the Cube - it's power button was touch as well and you could escape a crashed computer by holding it for five seconds.
The advantage of a "touch" homebutton would be a better immersion into the device - Steve doesn't like buttons - and less wear-prone mechanics. Apple did that in the past with the iPod wheel already...

I've always questioned market share figures.
It would be much more accurate to post comparative sales from THIS YEAR
as opposed to overall sales from the past combined.

nope. you'd need to own/be the IT guy of an educational institution
no, you can not.
you go to college or grad school, or become a teacher.Actually you can.
http://www.apple.com/education/store/
After you pick which school you go to you can make a purchase in either Individual or Institutional store. Still, you might be redirected by your school's "custom Mac" pick for their school. Ugh!

Design has nothing to do with it. It is a function of availability of parts. If the parts are not being made yet, the phone can't be manufactured. I am hoping Apple is waiting for the second generation LTE chips.
Well yes,..
If the issue is purely the tech just isn't ready then throwing cash at it won't help.....
but Apple has a big horde of Cash so if the issue with the parts is the economic risk of retooling to build them and ramp up production. Then that is something pre-buying maybe able to solve.

I still think we was a waste in the team and MacGill would have been better used. But he's done well.
Okay, one of the Aussie commentators here has just stated "Australia should win this match". Hmm... tough call.
Back to Channel 4 broadcast....... (for those who didn't know and cared, in Australia we get the Channel 4 broadcast but then Aussie players Dean Jones and Greg Matthews in a studio during the breaks)
199-7

I like this law. We should bring it over here to the US
This would never get beyond the First Amendment, even with justices as conservative as Scalia. And rightly so. Clothing is a very basic way to express speech and exercise a religion.
And that's a predominantly muslim country so go figure. Is it wrong for them to ban it too or is it just wrong for france because they're not predominantly muslim?
Turkey passed it's law with a lot more due process and equal protection relative to France. The people who are most affected by this law have a lot less voting power than those whose racist and xenophobic ideology carried this travesty forward.
There is also a big difference between one nation trying to overcome it's history with misogyny and another trying to harshly impose a set of values on certain citizens.
The only part of the law that has any worth is the provision that overbearing men can be held accountable. Even that wreaks of paternalism, but at least it's a first attempt at addressing the root problem rather than just an opening salvo in a new culture war.

it's funny how people say it's just a phone. It's not that its just a phone its the PRINCIPAL of it.
It's like a store owner who catches someone who steals a canned good that costs .98 cents. Most store owners would prosecute that person to send a message.
Same thing with the iphone. Is it okay because it's just a phone that a trade secret should compromised? Obviously some people on this board don't understand how competitive the industry is.
And as for this hurting Apple i doubt it really makes apple look like "The man" Maybe some geeks will feel that way or some people who want a reason to dislike apple.
But Apples sales are still at an all time high. The AAPL stock is high so im getting a great return. And i wouldn't compare Apple to some Orwellian creation.
A Company that is attempting to protect it's intrests is not evil. However a person who profits from Theft by monetary gain or in this case a Journalistic scoop is evil. Gizmodo is Reaping what it Sowed.

Let's see...
Netflix:
Dexter Season 3: Not Available
Weeds Season 6: Not Available
Nurse Jackie Season 1 & 2: Not Available
House MD - all 7 seasons: NOT available
Apple:
All of the above..Check.
So, in your example above, yes Apple costs more money. In my example above, you can't even get the content on Netflix.... So, for those who like to watch a bunch of old stuff, Netflix is great, and I certainly get my 10 bucks worth out of it, but sometimes people need more, and thank god Apple gives us that option, although I will admit, I'd rather give my business to Amazon where it's consistently cheaper then Apple for most of the content.
Sure, selection is not as robust as Apple (as providers make more there)...but Netflix is easily augmented by other services (Amazon/physical copy). Im not advocating omitting Apple totally...but folks would be done a disservice if Netflix went under their control...

Well, it's not jut CPU. Apple will not tell you SKU for any of the components. All iMac components are regular PC components so if a buyer knew the part list s/he would make an educated decision and iMac would lose every time.
I don't think it would be a surprise to anyone to hear there's a generous mark-up on Apple products. It's for the consumer to decide if that's worth paying for or not. There are market forces after all, if it was too expensive, not enough people would buy them - but that doesn't seem to be a problem they're having at the moment.
Still, they are more than the sum of their parts, other companies are free to pick those parts off the shelf and put together something the same or better than the iMac for less. None of the competitors have impressed me with their attempts so far though. I'd be interested to see the cost of the 27" IPS display as well, doesn't strike me as a bargain bucket component.

If some of the components come from Japan, is Apple scanning the finished units for radiation?
The recommendation is that you don't feed the iPad to an infant. Other uses are OK.

It's interesting how large the magnitude of disconnect between the planned purchase estimates and the actual marketshare is for Macs (e.g.. 17-18% of people planning to buy computers state they will get a Mac, but only 5-7% actually do). In contrast the numbers later for HP seem relatively close to their actual marketshare numbers.
They don't offer an interpretation, but one tempting one is that people who are very strongly considering getting a Mac get dissuaded as they get immediately close to purchase, to a much greater extent than PC buyers.
That is a big issue.
We all want a big house or drive a BMW. But when we look at the numbers we realize we can not afford one or would rather save money and buy something else instead.

But nearly 50% of the students use Mac's in a few years time it could be 50% of students at UK universities, which is a huge deal, after that it could be 50% of computers :eek:, especially given the rate Apple's improving their OS.
Good to see, go Apple. I foresee a change in the post production world with all the Final Cut Pro users in college right now... no doubt this same effect can happen in other industries when students start using Apple products.
End of line.
