Most people who buy Macs are somewhat creative. With a Celeron processor, you can't be very creative...

If you are going to lie, at least be a little more creative.
Lie? I was making a statement, MS releases SPs but the bugs often remain.

I just bought 8GB Kingston DDR3 RAM and put it into my Late 2008 Macbook Unibody. Works fine so far. :D

Somebody told me the old shuffle automatically converted songs into 128kbs AAC while you are adding it to the shuffle, even if they were of a much higher bitrate or saved in another format. I wonder if the new one does the same thing. It would be nice to keep my songs ALAC on my harddisk without wasting too much memory when I add it to the shuffle, where sound quality does not matter much.
Yea it should, I thing that is more of a software option than a hardware one. I only have a shuffle but it seems like that option would work for import on all the ipod models.

Hasn't there been talk of an Apple Event on the 30th? (Or have I been mis-reading?)
I haven't seen anything, but I could have missed it. January 30th is a Tuesday, so it is possible an event could be held that day.

The Decline and Fall of the American Empire (http://www.thenation.com/article/156851/decline-and-fall-american-empire) - by Alfred W. McCoy
I've read the entire article twice and found the various scenarios put forth by the author disturbing.
I'd be interested in hearing everyone's comments on the matter. ;)

competition, as many pointed out, is always a good thing! it leeds to better products and lower prices, which benefits us users.
i have to agree with those who think that iOS needs an overhaul. as far as i can remember, it hasn't changed much since its initial release.
i think apple has to add an app drawer just like android has and let you put only those apps you choose on your homescreens. i know, they added folders to iOS, so that you can organize your apps, but this isn't the same.
further, i hear many complains about the notification system of iOS.
these are 2 points apple need to address, if you ask me. snappiness is good, but it's not the only thing that counts.

Hey...
So, sounds good.
Are designating one day as the "big" event. It might be easier to get a good showing one particular day, and leave the other days open as well for people who want to meet.

In OSX, there's no way to disable the paging file (virtual memory). This is a real problem is if you have an SSD, because half the memory is allocated on the hard drive. That means your SSD will be toast in a few years. It doesn't matter how much stuff you have open (how much memory is allocated). The operating system is always writing memory to the hard drive. Does that seem counter-productive? When you open an app, the whole point is for it to be accessible in real time, right? And you don't want it destroying your SSD slowly over time!?
ANY reading, writing or even running a conventional spindle based HD will slowly destroy it over time.
I have long runtimes on most of my systems and I average very few pageins/outs however it is very nice to have when the systems needs it.
Running a unix system out of memory will cause bad things to happen. I think most people would much rather take a small performance hit and have the system write out to swap rather then just fall over.
With things like hardware based wear leveling and TRIM this problem is greatly reduced. Also, in this day and age most people replace hard drives every few years anyways because of space needs alone.

In recent history, say the last five years, has Apple ever released new products in the Holiday belt (between Thanksgiving(US of course) and Christmas)? Nothing for me comes to mind.
But I do recall that Apple has head the release of new products for MacWorld when you'd think that they just missed the boat of the holiday shopping season.
My thougth is that the Apple intro will take the wind out of the Zune's press releases. So, how about 6G iPod introduction date = Zune Intro date + 7 days.
Anyone?:p

1. More advanced Finder
2. Themes
3. Run IOS Apps (A4 Chip Emulator)
4. Social Media Integration
Call me crazy but if Social Media Integration were baked into the OS I don't think I would upgrade. I am outright sick of the Facebook/Myspace/Twitter craze and long for the day that this fad ends...I know it probably won't, but I can hope.

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.

America is not an empire in the sense of Rome ... They may be vocal on democracy for other nations but they are not looking to conquer other countries and take them under American rule ... America does not wish to take over the world.
You don't need to take a country by direct force when you set up their governments to bend to your whims. Why do you think certain leaders get installed by us? Just because the USA is very careful about the PR doesn't mean we aren't in control through various means.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought when I was in chemistry class in high school that we learned that magnesium and water have an explosive reaction -- if you thought lawsuits about earbuds conducting electricity when you get hit by lightning were bad, wait until several thousand people catch fire while listening to their iPod in the rain.
No...you are wrong, magnesium and water wouldn't have an explosive reaction, that's the Sodium(Na), Potassium(K) and others metal below these in the periodic table.
Although magnesium will have reaction will water, but it will product hydrogen and itself will become Magnesium Hydroxide.

It's streaming perfectly for me right now. It seems as though Apple has placed a limit on the number of viewers at any given time due to the message that pops up. This wasn't a bad keynote at all. :p

if it is true, please make it multi network compatible. I am sick of the bait and switch crap to get phone users to switch network providers, just to have an other provider come out with an other hot feature (or phone), that is exclusive to them too.
I hate cell phone contracts!
