Sounds like a great update, especially if it fixes a bug involving repeat in iPod. And battery life improvements are always good!

Just because he's not chubby doesn't mean he's sick. I have friends who eat healthy and look very thin, and they are in excellent health. People are getting used to seeing fat people and when someone comes along that is not the norm, they assume the person is sick. Sure he's lost weight, but that doesn't mean there is something wrong. The loss of weight and his beard made him look "different" and people jumped to conclusions. Also, keep in mind that he's probably bust his ass over the last year with all of the transitions. You'd lose weight too... and forget to shave, if you had his schedule. ;)

My Xbox 360 still works great even though the new one has been announced.....and they are not making me buy it :)
Though someone who wants an HDMI 360 and a bigger hard drive has a version they can buy now. I don't see what's wrong with that. More options for the customer....people wanted it and Microsoft gave it to them. They could have done a few more things but overall it's an upgrade.
The biggest news to me is this:
"A standalone $179.99 HDD also ships April 29. This package includes one 120GB HDD, software, and a specialized cable to port data from a user's current hard drive to the new one."
I can upgrade my hard drive , TRANSFER MY CURRENT DATA FROM THE 20GB HARD DRIVE, and start downloading a lot more from the Marketplace. That's excellent!

All Outlook needs to do is support the dang standards - CalDav/WebDav and sync services wouldn't be NEEDED to sync the calendars. :rolleyes: Ridiculous it wasn't there to begin with, ridiculous it still isn't.

John Stewart drives me crazy most of the time with his rantings and extreme bias, but this time...
AWESOME!!! He is so right! This was very well done... Hopefully, the MacRumors post yesterday is true, and the new 4G comes out soon after the WDC!
I will have to post this on my blog.

I really want the 11", but jumping from the 15" MacBook Pro to the 11" MacBook Air would be too great. Right now I have a 13" MacBook Air and I never use it.
Why don't you use your Air?
I've had the opposite experience, I went from a 15" MBP to the Air ... in fact we're just about to sell off two 15" MBP's from my office and I'm going to replace them with 13" MBA's, my staff can't wait.
Recently I had a brain fart and thought I'd enjoy a 'large mobile screen' so I tried the 17", it's a GREAT computer but for me it's not worth the trade off in size and weight.
I'm back to the 13" MBA. When I had the 15" MBP I felt the 2" more screen real estate definitely wasn't worth the weight as the Air surprisingly handles my workload really well.
So interesting to read people's viewpoints, I have to agree with all the arguments in favor of the 13" MacBook Air .... but that doesn't make me want my 11" back any less :D

This is great news.
As a owner of the Macbook 5,1 I am now watching prices for 8gb kits which are only $90 today.
just bought 8gb for $65 today ($20rebate) on newegg after finding this article. good luck!

Actually, sake is brewed like beer, not fermented like wine. It does drink like a wine, though. Thus the confusion.
daver, beer requires fermentation the hops is brewed to extract the bitters to add to the fermenting liquid in the vats otherwise you get no alcohol. I know I come from a long family line of brewers, wine makers and moonshiners I know intimately every step from making the mash or wort to the process of distillation. I would like to know how you make beer or any sort of alcohol at all without the fermentation process which is something very essential to the process. Wines require it, liquor requires it, and beer requires it...surprisingly enough even real root beer requires fermentation and that is a stunted process because before it produces a noticeable amount of alcohol it gets bottled to retain the natural carbonation. Even alcohol used for fuel (ethanol) requires fermentation over a period of time before distillation and use as an additive to gasoline. Fermentation doesn't always require yeast to make alcohol either but it is the most efficient and cost effective means for speeding up the process. No confusion here.

While I really dont like what you say Im afraid I completely agree, apple has done a great job of challenging windows in the home market, and it seems also the edu market, but the corporate market, apple has a long long way to go!
I think Apple would be all too happy to just own the home and edu markets. If they get back up to 30% of the edu market and can match that in the home market, I think they'd be ecstatic, since their total market share would probably more than double to 10% or more of the overall market.

What about if applecare is sending you a new MB to replace an old defective ibook? You didn't buy it, so you don't have a receipt. Could you exchange it for a C2D?
I don't have a lot of experience with this directly, but I'm going to guess that you can't.
Don't be too greedy, you're already upgrading from an iBook to a MB. You did pretty well.

I can confirm the sale of white iPhone 4's here in Belgium at a couple of retail stores. Just picked up a 32gb model this afternoon.
After all, I prefer the black model. Anyone interested? :)
Please take photos of the dock connector and the headphone jack :).

That would be awesome- a 13 or 14 inch MBP.
The speaker grilles are virtually gone...makes me wonder if they new ones will run even hotter, as on the previous models you can feel thermal currents coming out of the grilles....
I am still not sure if the picture is just playing tricks on my eyes but when comparing the pictured MacBook pro in that banner to mine and the ones on the Apple website they do appear the be diffenrent.
Getting a little ahead of ourselves on the GPU?? How about Apple clocking the X1600 at ATI's default speed, first.;)
That would be nice.

Has it been officially confirmed that best buy will even carry the iphone? or is it still speculation. And if they are carrying it, any work on preorders?

So:
Summer = Vista (followed 3 months later by SP1)
Early Autumn = Leopard (followed 3 weeks later by 10.5.1)
With Vista going to computer manufacturers now, I highly doubt that it will be pushed all the way into the summer. Although it is Microsoft, and this IS Vista, but I still don't think it would happen. MS would release it anyway and a crapload of updates following if necessary.
I think Leopard is farther away than many speculate. If Apple really wanted to release it right in January, you would think they would want a bigger hoopla to build the hype, which would have to happen almost immediately. Even then, you would think as neared completion we probably would have gotten a rumor or leak concerning the supposed top secret features by now. While I have nothing but gut feeling to go on, I think it'll be *really* previewed at MacWorld with a release, maybe March or April, possibly into May.
And that would make more sense. Let Vista's dust settle, let the bitching commence, maybe even a couple highly publicized virus or spyware incidents, then swoop in with Leopard, showing that even after MS had 5 years of development to rip off OSX, Apple is still ahead of them. That would give time for hype, and give Apple the press coverage. Not only is it likely, it makes sense.

But the damn site is all voluntary, no real authority.
So? Fact remains, that according to independent studies, Wikipedia is very accurate. Do you think that you can only do a good job when you are paid to do so?
People could change something on less looked at articles and nobody'd no the difference!
nobody would know the difference? Hardly
My sister's professors do not allow their students to you Wikipedia!
That's their choice. It still does not change he fact that according to independent studies, Wikipedia is very accurate. At this point I gues that you will just close your eyes, cover your ears and shout "LALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!". But that does not change the FACTS.
Just because something's longer doesn't mean it's bettter!
Am I speaking latin here or something? Let me repeat what I have said: According to independent studies, Wikipedia is very accurate. Meaning: There are very few errors in the entries in Wikipedia. IN ADDITION TO THAT, Wikipedia has longer articles (on average) than Britannica (for example) does. I have NOT said "Wikipedia is better because the articles are longer". I have said that "Articles in Wikipedia are very accurate AND the are on average longer than ones in Britannica". Longer articles means that they have more information than shorter articles do.
Suppose that you were looking for information about string theory (for example). Would you prefer an article on the subject that consist of one paragraph, or one that consists of twelwe paragraphs?
If you've ever used Encyclopaedia Brittanica or the World Book, the authors are pros on the subject, not just some bum that's obcessed with Google!
What makes you think that authors in Wikipedia are "bums"? What makes you think that they are not experts in their field?
You obviously have an axe to grind when it comes to Wikipedia. I haven't seen any reason why you should call the wikipediaistas "bums". So what is your problem here?
