Wait a minute...I think I see your problem. Just click once on you document folder and it will open very quickly.
what you are doing is simulating a right click (Click and hold the button down). this will bring up a Start menu-like interface).. I think if you right click this will happen instantly, too.... (or maybe it's option-click...I'm not on my mac at the moment, unfortunately). There is SUPPOSED to be a delay when you click and hold like that.
I've never seen Finder slow... and I'm on the same machine as you are.
(of course I may have completely misread this and be totally wrong, in which case I would ask what apps you have open, how much memory is on the machine, etc.)
My comments were not about the merits of OS X vs Windows.
I have a G4 1.67 mhz 2005 PB. If I hold my cursor down on the documents folder of my dock it takes about 2 - 3 seconds before finder responds.

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.

So i'm personally hoping that 2-4 week delay = the new processor in the iMac.
Speaking of which, I just had a strange thing happen in the Belgian online Apple store. I was looking at the bottom line MacBook Pro and trying out options. Then I saw shipping time was 5 days, without any special options.
I went to the U.S. online store and tried the same, but it said 24 hours. So I went back to the Belgian one and now it also said 24 hours.
So 5 days from now, that's the 8th, which is after the keynote. Make of it what you will, but here's to hoping for new MBPs :)
Btw, before anyone asks: I didn't think to make a screenshot.

...for everyone complaining about the lack of a usb plug - the usb is in the headphones plug - seems to me someone will come out with some sort of headphones with a usb plug in them soon enough. anyway, I always thought the old shuffle was useless as a flash drive - it was too big to fit in a lot of usb ports - and even this new design is physically huge compared to some of the latest sticks (you can put a sony microvault tiny anywhere - ive actually stuck it in my shoe and forgotten about it) and too small in the memory department - has anyone seen how cheap 2gb drives are these days? Finally, I can't imagine it comparing in the file transfer speed department.

How is that exactly? It�s a MacBook with a stand and a bigger screen. How is it not for personal use?
Well, yeah, you kind of made my point for me.
It combines the awesome power of a laptop with the portability, ease of installation, and desktop requirements of a desktop. The MacBook, in hardware terms, is a compromise. The key feature of it is portability. It's not a great computer, but it's "good enough" and, when combined with portability, is a great system.
A personal user is either going to want to spend $900-1,000 on a moderately powerful desktop optimised for personal use (which the $900 iMac isn't, with its choice of optical drive, low hard disk capacity, and lack of modern graphics), or a good laptop (which, again, the iMac isn't.) From an institutional point of view, however, the portability is a liability, but the fact the machine comes with everything all pre-installed with minimum set up other than the "locating a spot for it" (which is inherently done in offices anyway) means it's ideally suited to that.
That's what makes it great for institutions. It's not that a personal user can't use it, it's that, at the price point, there are machines far better suited to personal users than the $900 iMac.
My real concern at the moment is the lack of a desktop in that space from Apple. A "high end" Mac mini really is needed.

The GF and I stopped by our local BB just after opening this morning as well. As much as I don't particularly like BB, our location made it as painless a procedure as it could be. One iPhone each. In and out in a few minutes, with a 10am appointment made for pickup on the 24th. And a promise of a call for confirmation before then.
BTW, the GF used a gift certificate for the preorder and will use the remainder when she picks up the phone. Absolute zero out-of-pocket for her. I'm glad I tagged along today, having heard of the disaster elsewhere.
Good luck to those of you still looking to preorder.

With the way that screeshots end up in the public eye from these Dev releases, does anyone think that this is all that 10.5 will have to show us? Apple knows leaks like this are going to happen, so we're not really seeing the "good stuff" yet. AKA: Top Secret features. ;)
Nah. I have a feeling there will be more to 10.5 than the few screen leaks we're seeing. Like many, I too am interested in these hidden features or whatever Steve referenced at WWDC.
Question for those who frequently receive prereleases: is it possible to hide features from developers & testers and then release the gold master with said hidden features available? is that possible, feasible, smart?
Thanks.

The update does NOT install on an iPhone 3G !!
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?
People still have the 3G under contract and they are left with a deliberate bug that Apple refuses to fix.
Someone needs to threaten Apple with a class action lawsuit.
No one is tracking you...

Only Apple and Foxconn know for sure when iPhone 5 will be released. Anyone else is merely speculating to spread FUD and to manipulate Apple's share price. The iPhone 5 will get to consumers whenever Foxconn finishes producing them in quantity enough for initial distribution, whatever that number may be. ;)

Yeah, I can just see it how they were talking about how it recognizes who you are to log you in.
Next thing you know it will...
query your facebook profile,
tell your friends you're "kinected",
invite eachother to help you choose a dress by spamming their walls,
upload your bio to your playmates,
fetch all your social activity from Bing...
Big BrotherSoft will be watching you! :eek:

Panic. I installed the firmware, the little bar was moving across the screen, and then halfway across -- the computer shut down. Now my screen is dead, I can't tell if the hard drive is functioning, my restore CD is 20 miles away, and I'm scared witless. WTF?!?!?!
Suggestions?
Try holding the power button on the machine until you hear a long tone and then see if it boots.

Marriage counseling. Drug/addiction counseling. Sometime in county. Probably not in that order.
Exactly this, though for some reason I see the time in county being rather short... 6 months maybe?
Just a prediction, that's all.

What I can't wrap my head around is the sheer gullibility of not only the authors of this site, but so many of the frequent readers.
Do any of you possess short term memory? At all?
What has happened for the last 4 years in a row? With no lapse, no change, no variation whatsoever. iPhone is released in mid to late June. Once July.
What was it, before the iPad 2 announcement, that every one was certain of? iPad 2 will be late. No new iPad til September.
Apple laughed at that and said, actually were ready to go next week.
You'd have to be pretty deluded, and cracked out on the rumor mill, to think any other other iPhone 5 @ WWDC, release 2-3 weeks after.
What evidence has anyone seen to the contrary? Besides ****ing zero?

The man was trying to get away from a hostile situation. In this case, "winning" means the whole thing dissipates and they each go their separate ways. The alternative is that he has to keep fighting with her.
Or he could have tried to walk away instead, or call the police, or found some other way of leaving the area.
If she kept trying to keep at him, he could have sued later on for false imprisonment (which she technically did while on the hood of his car), but the answer wasn't to drive, which puts a life in danger and escalates the situation above that which he was in. You can use reasonable force under the circumstances, and it simply is not reasonable to use potentially lethal force to escape a situation where you are at most being irritated and inconvenienced.
I have been down 580 many times, and what he did is truly harrowing. The fact that she survived is amazing enough with the wind speeds and curves that predominate that area.

so far, im in the same boat. i think the stream is accessible in quicktimes cache through the terminal, but i havent bothered trying to get it all to check.

...and hope springs eternal. But I think this is a pipe dream. Apple is already breaking with tradition (if, in fact, the "no hardware at WWDC" rumor is true). And then there are those pesky "Apple has not yet ordered the parts for the iPhone 5" rumors that (if true) scream "delay."
The problem for Apple here is that they're gonna have to release something that matches or exceeds the multiple Android devices that are scheduled for release this year. I'm an iOS guy, and I love iPhones, but c'mon--the new Samsung Galaxy S2 is a sweet looking phone. And the Thunderbolt is killing at Verizon right now (or so I hear).
Apple has always risen to the challenge, and I look forward to their offering this year.
If I don't upgrade to an Android phone first. ;)
