Then maybe Apple should pay "ms consumer reports" to give google the same press, ummmm hmmmm :rolleyes:
Hmmm...consumer reports are some old pale colored ladies if you know what i mean uh huh :)
Apple has better use for it's money.

Agreed.
How can they sell a "cheap" iMac and a very expensive MP if they want large margins on their products? Shouldn't the iMac be at least 500$ more if that were the case?
And as for the "workstation" reality. I'm sure there are MP buyers that actually need Xeons over hex i7 chips. But how many. Really. Compared to the number of Mac users that want an iMac that has expansion slots.
Also, has anyone looked to the latest financials to see how many MPs have actually been sold? And how much money they gained by keeping that MP tax?

They can sell a cheap iMac because their costs are lower and crucially, that market is far larger, so they can "Make it up in volume." I would imagine that their financial analysis did not lead to a similar conclusion vis-a-vis the Mac Pro.
As to "workstation," It's Xeons because Xeons are the only way to get dual-CPU machines on the intel platform. really doesn't like overly complex product lines, so they don't want to split the Mac Pro off into a Xeon and non-Xeon configuration, having already split it off into dual and single processor lines. I imagine similar reasoning is keeping them from making the "X Mac", which is what you really seem to want.
Finally, does not release sales figures for different portions of their market - just "Portables," and "Desktops," so only they can answer that question, and they have not seen fit to do so.

Oh, oh, how long before Amazon, Android and the rest bring out there own 'Traffic' branded apps... it is 'generic' after all.
You realize it's been a standard feature on Android phones for at least 2 years, right?

As quite a few people, I have been victim to rather frequent crashes when using the paste command in Word 2011. Nothing seems to help: (real) full clean re-install, removing duplicate fonts, etc, etc.
The crashes were so frequent that I went back to Word 2008. If this is solved I'd be happy to go back to 2011....
Since when does Microsoft fix bugs? They just keep introducing more and more features to bury the bugs.

Well, on a 256kbps stream (not sure if the music would get re-encoded or if the service would allow you to select bitrate) you would use about 112.5 MB per hour of streaming. If you had a 30 minute commute each way to work, you are looking at (roughly) going over your allowance in a month (AT&T USA) without any other data usage. (60 mins x 20 days = 2,250MB ).
I'm not sure this is sustainable unless the telecom providers stop putting small data caps on usage...
That is quite the assumption. Logic would suggest they would transcode your music (or give the option at least) to something like 32-64 Kbps when using 3G / 4G.
So let's say you're right, and it streams at some lower kbps. So this service would offer you the ability to hear degraded music... when you have internet access... And it'll use up your monthly data (assuming it's 3G rather than wifi).
This is better than an iPod/iPhone... How? Or not even better -- this is a useful supplement how?
I just really don't get it. You give up control, bit rate, and independence from the Internet and get...?

Apple STICKS to their major plans / release schedules. They don't care about what competitors are doing. I believe they are rarely surprised. Superhuman? No. Infallible? No. Confident in themselves and meticulous in their planning/execution? Absolutely.
Apple's invitations for WWDC said the future of Mac OS X and iOS will be the focus. So, why would Apple not also show off the new hardware that will take optimal advantage of the new software?!
iPhone 5 WILL be revealed at WWDC and avail for purchase very end of 3rd week of June or sometime during 4th week.
iOS 5 will be previewed at WWDC, though does not need to be available by iPhone 5's release.
Rather, iOS 5 will likely be released at same time as Lion (also previewed at WWDC) later in the summer.
Finally, I bet Apple TV running iOS 5 will also be shown with ability to access App Store winning the battle for the living room.
We've heard rumors of a metal back for iPhone 5...I'll also bet iPhone 5's metal back and frame is made using alloys from LiquidMetal...have we all forgotten that little licensing deal? Thin, lightweight but extraordinarily durable. Steve will be able to once again declare it is the thinnest, lightest phone available...beating their own previously released product once again.
After WWDC, you're welcome to slam away if I'm wrong. The only question I have remaining...besides having maybe slightly better cameras and slightly faster speed, what else could they possibly build into the iPhone to make it magically amazing and a must have for iPhone 4 owners?! Also, when's the iCar coming with an augmented reality windshield for weather, traffic, and navigation? ;-)

Apple is playing the cards right... the consumers will be fooled, and purchase the white iPhone... all while not realizing that Apple has made a strategic business decision to look towards LTE, and wait for the next big release of the iPhone with 4G from Verizon & AT&T.
Apple is waiting on AT&T... been trying to tell you guys in other posts.
The iPhone 4 is one of Apple's biggest money producing products to date - Glass on the front & back ehhh...
Think people.
Apple has done it again. Maxed profits & cut margins, all while gaining momentum with the consumer.
They make products that sell(max profits), instead of making products for the user like we remember Apple. Not one Apple product get's overstocked... Not ONE!

Biggest problem with Veloster: it needs a more powerful engine. Maybe Hyundai will see it fit to install the 173 bhp 2.4-liter I-4 found on the current Kia Forte, which would give the Veloster a needed performance boost. :)

Sosumi99 may be a little over the top here, but is staggers my mind to think any doesn't believe this was out of line nd wrong for Mr. Beeks to say. Clearly when Steve Jobs has a "big announcement" it generates lots of hype and interest - not only in the iPod but for Apple in general. Mr. Beeks has tried to pre-empt Apples splash by pointing it to Lions Gate insted.
No one here "knows" what will happen this year with iPod/iTunes. If they "do", they must know someone who is violating a NDA. We highty suspect and believe what ill happen before the end of this year.
Maybe your mommy will teach you good business and ethics practice.
I don't really think it matters. Lion's Gate does not have the same kinds of "brand recognition" concerns that a company like Apple must address by drawing attention and publicity.
The other thing is that like others have said, this has not been a secret. Everyone knows the movie industry would eventually have to jump on the bandwagon, and this is nothing more than someone finally acknowledging the inevitible.
It isn't like the guy told us the details for the new iPod or something.

I think this is the main concern of Apple delaying the launch of this new iPod Video. They need to have figured out a way for the battery life to last at least 4 to 6 hours...:(

Like most who saw this article, I checked my order status. Nothing has changed (orderd 7pm PST, 3/11 and shipment date: Still 4/1 to arrive 4/6)... but I will keep in mind and realize that there is some data entry technician or system that needs some more time "refreshing" possible shipment dates. Not keeping my fingers crossed... I'll get it when I get it!

Hey how much will OS X Leopard cost?
I just bought my iMac C2D "17 two weeks ago, and I just didn't want to wait until Spring '07 to buy it with Leopard installed on it.
Does Apple offer an upgrade and full versions of the OS X.5?
It would be nice if they offered some type of discount for people who bought their Macs after a certain time frame (Like October '06).
Actually, they do have a discount. My roommate got tiger half price cuz his powerbook was bought less than 3 months ago or something. Just keep those papers and vouchers that came with your Mac.

I would be happy if they could just make Excel 2004-2008 formatted spreadsheets display properly in 2011. Very tired of resizing columns and fonts to get what we had before.
