So they FINALLY figured out no one wants to pay more for an electronic copy than a print copy. I was expects about 1/2 the cover price for electronic copy. when that did not happen I lost interrest

Typical OS X user experience is this: I mount a network share. I work through the day but if there's any significant network connectivity issue, my mount point goes away and OS X alerts me that the network share is no longer available and I have to reconnect. IOW, OS X suddenly turns helpless on me and my mounted share just disappears because it's too dumb to know what else to do.
Wow, I've never heard of this issue - and I haven't noticed it on my setup.
I have a NAS that, upon booting my iMac, gives me a "can't connect" error, because it's trying to mount that volume before network connectivity is established. I have to click the share's icon to get it to mount - but then it stays mounted. *shrug*

OWC did a lower quality teardown of the top of the range 27" model
To clarify, I'll wait for the "iFixit teardown" of the 27" model to make a comment. Guessing about what's underneath fuzzy shots of heat sinks isn't useful.
In any case, though, it's more to know what you're getting. Oversubscribed interfaces can be very useful - most of our connections are oversubscribed.
I'd just like to know up front whether and how the bandwidth is shared between the two TBolt ports. Apple can make it very hard to understand those details.

IMO Apple's biggest mistake (as far as stopping Android) was coming to Verizon one year too late.
Why do people assume that this is a zero sum game? Apple doesn't have to "stop" android and probably doesn't care if the market is saturated with low end android phones. One is a generic platform customized by a bunch of hardware makers with varying quality and no defined set of specs. iOS is a vertically integrated platform from a single vendor.
Any low cost generic mobile operating system was always going to show up to cover the needs of carriers desperate to get subscribers to spend a lot of money in 'data 'plans since iPhones proved people could be convinced that searching the web from a phone is a necessity and voice minutes are now too plentiful and devalued.
The likely scenario is that Apple, HP, Microsoft/Nokia and RIM will split the market with the generic android handsets, which are iPhone clones. At least the other big vendors have a different interface and user experience to offer something new to the consumer.

Prior Art: MacNTouch (http://www.fingerworks.com/MacNTouch_product.html)
Okay, so it doesn't have the "physical/tactile controls" over the touch-sensitive pad, but it is one giant touch-sensitive pad.
Yeah, that's prior art that now belongs to Apple. A lot of this patent activity seems to be an investigation into ways of exploiting that.

To be honest, I do miss the quad. Mine was silent and I loved the fx4500 quadro in it. It did hanbrake upthere with the best of them. That said though, I don't have room for lots of Boxen and the 2.3 dual pm I have ATM ( boxed up) won't be out for a while as I am way to buisy with work and stuff ATM.
But the quad is no comparison to the 2.8 octo I have now. And it plays a heap of games. The gtx285 is also much, much faster than the quadro.
I can't really imagine you selling your Mac pro and grabbing a quad. If you do I would recon you will be getting another Mac pro shortly after that.
As that's what I did....lol
I started with dual 1.8pm, then dual 2.0 pm then Mac pro (early 2006) sold all three and bought a quad pm. Then picked up a very cheap 2.3pm. And then last Christmas sold the Mac pro and the quad and bought the Mac pro 3,1. I've never looked back as this box hauls. And it's a lot cheaper on power than the quad was.
Don't get me wrong, I loved my quad, but it got kinda sour when blizzard refused to let me play their new releases on my more than capable quad ppc pm.
I am not a real fan of geekbench, as its a synthetic benchmark. All I know is my quad was a very, very nice piece of kit. And immense had any dramas with it. The only reason I updated wasn't because it was slow ( it sure as crap wasn't that) but only cos certain applications were no longer supported in ppc.
Yeah love the quad g5!

No Woodcrest arcoss the board in the Mac Pros? BOO HOO!!! I hope the new monitor rumor is true. I am eyeing up a nice 23" monitor to go along with my new (Woodcrest based?) Mac Pro.There was never any logic to using Woodcrest across the board - only for the Quad. Conroe is just as fast and cheaper for dual core models. :)I don't really like the idea of the macpro line-up having different chips.
I know in order to produce a quad lineup.. they'll have to, and it makes little difference to the end user.... but the idea of using "lesser" chips in the low end model bugs me.Conroe are not "lesser" than Woodcrest. Where did you get that idea? Using one Woodcrest for two core Macs would be a higher manufacturing expense which would translate into more expensive dual core Mac Pros.

I wish they would hurry up and deliver us UK customers TV Shows, rather than bringing out the Movie Downloads in the US and making me even more jealous!
It always makes me wanna live in the US when things like this happen!

I am in agreement with Chaz on this. With Android and iOS having so much built into their portable OS now, I kinda think the days of dedicated GPS devices are going to be limited.
True but I still see a use for dedicated devices. I rode across the country and back (6000 miles) on my bike. I don't think the iPhone would hold up too well to the rain, snow and vibration. Not to mention not being able to use the touchscreen with gloves on. ;)

Makes sense. That's probably one of the biggest uses of the ATV and Apple doesn't get a cut of that action.
That being said, Netflix inclusion is the only reason I bought the ATV2. If they cut Netflix, I'll by another product.
Apple should just buy Netflix.
I doubt it. There would be an "anti-monoply" uprising so big that it makes the AT&T/T-Mobile merger look popular.

And Jones is out already! 350 is looking more and more like a target to aim for. As for the food/drinks I think that they still get stuck into whatever they want. I seem to remember Flintoff saying he was eating loads of crisps to calm his nerves at the end of one of the tests!
Edit to add: also Warne said this (I'm sure with some sarcasm) about his performance yesterday "It shows what a fit athlete can do". I'm sure some of you remember him storming out of a press conference when he was called fat :D
We didn't want to lose Jones so early, they need to play real smart now to stay in for a couple of hours. 350 is deffo realistic.
BBC report said Warne 'quipped' about 'what a fit athlete can do' so sarcasm was there. Pretty funny. He's hardly a marathon runner but to bowl as much as he does still takes it out of you, though I don't think he could be a pace bowler. It's funny how close 'fit' and 'fat' are in written terms :D

I thought you weren't doing bigadv right now;) I'll try it with 11 to see what happens.
i wasn't earlier, but when i finally starting getting things working like i wanted, i was able to start back up with bigadv units again. which is why my points are higher now. and i think i might have finally got one of my systems where i want (over 4 ghz). we'll see how long it lasts.
let us know have -smp 11 works

Wait so, how are we supposed to report No Coverage in an area with, well, no coverage?
You are not supposed to report it. Since you can't send the report the company does not have to fix the issue. This is smart, then they can report to the world that they don't have gaps in their coverage. ;)
Take that Verizon. LOL.
