Apple's approval process aside - he was doing a pretty second rate job.
I read it as... "I want to do a crappy job and not be called on it"

They'll keep it going till 23rd October I reckon. Anniversary event I'm guessing + one of those cheesy white promo videos about the "first 10 years".
Well, we'll see.

Oh dang, these firmware updates make me nervous... so im going to wait and let others be the guinea pig.
No way I'm going to do this update. This will not benefit me in any way whatsoever. At most, it'll ignore any "true" problem and not shut down when necessary. I won't install this update for like 6 months to see if this happens to others. Why should I install it when I don't even have this RSS issue, right? It'll just create a safety hole in my system.
After applying the update, it seems like it's running cooler. I'm getting 53-54C now, when normally it's 58-59.
Ah yes, let these types of posts begin. ;)

Yup, most of the waste is for military technology and planes like the raptor that were built for cold-war style fighting. That era is dead. No offense intended, but that poster clearly has NO IDEA what the US uses its ridiculously large military budget for.
There's also the Airborne Laser, which was an utterly stupid idea. There's the virtual fence Boeing was paid to build to secure the US/Mexico border that never worked...

Yes the chipset has PATA for optical right now, they also show the two unused SATA over by the Optical drive -- but use them for whatever if they are there.
Doesn't mean Apple won't switch and make use of them for optical if there is need.

Wow. Where did you find this schmatic? This means you can alternately run your opticals external on a FW bus outside and put two more SATA Drives inside the "optical is optional" bays for a total of 4.5 TB possible inside (6 x 750GB). Fantastic and Awesome!!
Make them all 400GB @$100 each and you can have 2.4 TB inside for $600.
You can have your system stuff running on one of those with a second for scratch - video - then have 4 removables under the shelf for different clients. KILLER for Client management. This is incredible. I am really getting crazy excited about the new Mac Pro's design. :eek:
Also just went over all the Leopard previews today and am now getting a Jones for Leopard's new features big time. Now for the 8 or 9 month wait. Wow. :eek:

Let's talk about this, shall we?
We've already established earlier in the thread the following:
1) Crime and having low socio-economic status are correlated.
2) Blacks are more likely, for whatever reasons, to have low SES.
3) Ergo, blacks are more prone to turn to crime.
Point #2 is the point of contention. It's not a question of if point 2 is true, but rather one of why it is so. I submit the following premise:
1) In our society, an individual's income is correlated with his intelligence. This is easily seen in that college graduates earn more money than non-graduates, who in turn earn more than those who drop out of high school.
2) An individual's intelligence is correlated with his parents' intelligence due to heredity factors. As various and numerous studies have shown, blacks typically underperform whites by roughly one standard deviation. This leads us to the following:
3) The various (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/04/060427161424.htm) genes (http://www.physorg.com/news91799494.html) that influence higher intelligence occur less frequently in the African-descended gene pool than in the European-descended gene pool.
So, how do we test this hypothesis while controlling for environment? Lucky for us, we don't have to, as it's already been done, as the Minnesota Transracial Adoption Study (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Transracial_Adoption_Study). If you scroll down to the Results section, you will see the white children scoring at the top, black children in the bottom by about 1SD, and mixed children in the middle. As the study controlled for environment (the adopting families were all of the upper-middle class), it is reasonable to conclude that the above premise has merit, and that genes do have a degree of influence on intelligence.
Accepting that humanity is biologically diverse is simply the acknowledgment that various groups humans are different from one another in various ways due to our different genotypes. Such differences include, but are not limited to, physical appearance, athletic ability, personality, and cognitive abilities.
As a society, we already put some aspects of this theory into practice. An example of this is your doctor asking you if any instances of cancer, heart disease, etc. run in your family. Another is the various studies, most notably those relating to autism spectrum disorders, conducted on the Amish people, who are by and large genetically isolated from their "English" neighbors.
Finally, I would reiterate that it is not at all racist to take note of, accept, or reasonably comment on these facts. As I've said earlier, to properly combat the problem, one must first understand it. Denouncing the messengers as racist because their conclusions are unpopular will accomplish nothing except perpetuate the problem at hand.
All of that might be true but your making a big extrapolation off of a limited amount of evidence.
Your also imagining that a black person can be totally isolated from factors which dis-proportionately effect black persons.
-Black kids are more likely to have black friends (this is racism but it's true, black children are more likely to accept black kids, white kids are more likely to avoid black kids). This makes it more likely that black children regardless of their family environment are going to be exposed to the negative aspects of black culture.
-Teacher's expectations are probably lower for black students (again racism but true). It has been shown time and time again that low expectations correlate with lower performance (just as high expectations correlate with higher performance).
There are many many more factors which would have to be considered before one could make the blanket statement that "black persons have a lower average intelligence).
Further even if this were proven to be true it would hardly matter a slightly average lower intelligence would have very little effect on individual's abilities to succeed.
Intelligence in my experience is a highly overrated quality, I consider my self significantly more intelligent than the average person (who doesn't :rolleyes:). But I'm also a little on the lazy side, I'm highly inclined to procrastinate and goof off instead of studying, so as a result people who I'm inclined to think of my self as "smarter" than, frequently do better than me on tests, because they have a better work ethic.
Innate intelligence is something which is more or less impossible to change, and something which I am inclined to believe is somewhat un-important.
Again I think our focus should be on identifying negative cultural trends within the black community and considering ways to curb those self destructive trends.

The ClickWheel "interface" of the classic is a royal pain in the back when you have to navigate through thousands of titles.
It's easy to navigate with the click wheel if your songs are properly tagged. I'd rather use it than the iOS iPod app. :)

I don't know what people are fussing about. If these price points are true, Windows Vista is pretty cheap.
Remember, if you buy Vista, it'll most likely last at least 4-5 years before the next paid upgrade, unlike with OS X where if you want the latest and greatest, you're looking at an upgrade almost every year.
But you are not required to upgrade OS X all the time. Hmmmm, maybe some people should start to look at Linux by now. With Ubuntu folks could get two upgrades every year, and they are 100% free :).

Not surprising really. Anyone I know who was 'curious' about switching changes their mind once they have bought into the eco system with an iDevice and get used to the combination of UI, solid build and design.
I kind of went the other way 5 months ago, being a Mac user for the last 15 years as a student and then professionally in the graphic design field I decided to give one of these PCs a try..
As I couldn't make up my mind whether to replace my iBook G3 with a Macbook/Macbook Pro/iPad, I decided to go for a cheap and cheerful HP G62 dual core laptop as a 'stop gap' solution for �350 just to see if PCs are as bad as some people make them out to be.
I have to say my experience in the last 5 months has been ok-ish, yes it is mildly annoying that the constant update requests, long bootups, occasional crash happy nature (and fragile) of Windows 7 has made me think about chucking the laptop out of the window (no pun intended). The fan can get bloody loud and gets quite hot and battery life is poor. But I accept that you get what you pay for and I guess that encapsulates the experience of the average Windows user who is willing to pay a substandard price for a substandard user experience.
As a result, my experience will not make me want to buy any PC products again. I've bought it just for browsing the web and syncing the iPod Touch to iTunes (which is doesn't seem to work aswell in Win7), somehow I can't run iTunes 10.2 which is another bloody annoying issue..
I cannot wait to get the new SandyBridge iMac later this year and maybe iPad 3 next year so until then will put up with my substandard PC product to gather dust / or smash it with a hammer / simply get rid of on eBay.
It will be Macs only for me going forward ;)
I'm definately not a PC :D And Windows 7 sucks compared to OSX. Actually bag of sh_te is a better description!
Switched to Mac in 2009 (Linux in 2007) after using Windows for almost two decades. Couldn't be happier.

The C2D MBP was relieved of the whine and some other issues one they moved to C2D. If the MacBook becomes free of these issues as well with this move than the small update is still great news.
No, later CD builds were relieved of the whine. That wasn't solved by a C2D chip, but better quality control.

AMOLED technology is still in its refinement stage, but shows much better promise than 3D. But having taken a look at it on some of the samsung phones, then compared it to a retina display? Things like movies and photo's look very good. Text and web browsing may need improvement but everybody seems to jump onto the bandwagon if apple says jump.
Biggest issue with 3D is the premium that they charge for all the crap. Here in Australia movies are already expensive ($18 for an adult, $15 for students, $11 for both on tight ass tuesday), but they put a big mark up on 3D ($21 for adults and $18 for students, no tight ass tuesdays). When you go to see a movie in 2D, that's been advertised in 3D, they'll show it on a small screen with average sound.
Make no mistake, the ONLY reason movie companies are pushing this junk is for the mark up. They'll do the same for the content on a 3D iPad. Charge us more for something we don't really want, provide a less than quality 2D version to force us to do everything in 3D so that they can increase the depth of their back pocket.

Well, lets see where would they put it? Between Mac Mini and iMac.... you know in that $200 difference. Or maybe between iMac and Pro Mac.... in that what $300 difference. It seems like the Mac Mini bump and iMac expansion have left no room in the line-up for another Mac. Even with conroes... all speeds, sizes, prices are covered. There isn't room for a Conroe Mac. Period.
Price gaps, sure, I'll give you that, but you are comparing apples to oranges if you're comparing the Mini and Mac Pro (headless) to an iMac (AIO). What about the people who already have a nice 24" display (or whatever) - what are their options? Throw away their dislpay and buy an iMac? Sure, they could sell it I suppose, but why, if they like it and it works perfectly? So, otherwise, their options are a Mac mini or a Mac Pro - nothing in between. Where is the machine with the iMac's specs (which are perfect for most users) which isn't AIO? For many people the mini is slightly underpowered, and the Mac Pro is overkill. And many people do not want an AIO and prefer easy upgradeability.
I realize it's unlikely Apple will release a Conroe minitower, but I definitely still see a place for it, and hey, one can always dream. :D :cool:

Am I the only one who thinks the multiplayer stinks? (team slayer)
Judging by the playlist populations, yes, you are in a very small minority. Team Slayer is, and always has been, the most popular playlist.
There's no guns to switch, the jet pack is a total crap I'll just fly around and you can't shoot me and you can't kill me because there is no rocket launcher or laser. Am I missing something?
You can choose from any of the 4 or 5 different Loadouts at every spawn. Each comes with a different Armor Ability (Jet Pack, Sprint, Armor Lock, etc) and weapon set (DMR, Shotgun, Grenade Launcher, etc). Also, there are plenty of weapons still placed on the maps. The usual power weapons are on all the maps with which they are applicable, plus you can still always pick up weapons off of the ground when other players drop them.

I don't see how adjusting the UI at the last minute could be any sort of OK. Do you really want developers using the Tiger finder for the next 7 months, and then all of the sudden Apple goes BAM (Emeril Style) and puts in a brand new finder.
Just because they aren't showing the Finder yet doesn't m ean they will only spring it on devs the day that Leopard ships commercially. There's a significant amount of time between now and then.
Probably when they do though, it will be under NDA, and they'll try and keep as much of it under wraps for as long as possible.

Im surprised we havent seen anyone ranting about the fact that there were no obvious hints to UI changes in the preview. Even the desktop wallpaper was the same as tiger.
Yeh suspiciously 'samey' :D I think it will change when Leopard finally ships. Did you notice iChat UI had changed ;)
Also I think FrontRow will be bluetooth enabled (with new remote) when Leopard ships so MacPros can use it.
As well as some REALLY cool stuff that will take OSX even further in front of Vista.
Oh and a feature I requested by Apple Feedback is in Leopard. Woohoo!!! Its only the pixel dimensions when dragging out a screenshot but i asked for it. Maybe a few others did too? :D

Lenox Mall one in Buckhead. Here without a car, so it has to be something I can Marta to. I got there early this morning and the sign was already up that they were out of stock for the day.
If you have an idea where I could look let me know. I'd love a 64 gig black ATT ready Ipad2. Many coworkers have either the original or the newer iPad and I'm ready to hop on that train.
Try www.milo.com, that should help you locate one in your area.

actually NATO doesn't come into play ... or do you see any german troops ? ;) ...
Good point. The involvement of Britain and France would seem enough, I guess, but you're correct, it's not a NATO operation.
... Just think about it: Sarkozy got funding for his last campaign illegally from libya. Can there be a more convinient way of getting away from that dirty laundry than bombing them into oblivion ? While at home showing how much of a strong leader he is for increasing popularity ?
Anne Applebaum made a similar argument in Slate just a few days ago, arguing that France, really Sarkozy, was pushing for the intervention in kind of 'wag the dog' scenario.

I don't think Wal-Mart makes money on a lot of their DVDs. They sell them at a loss to get people in their stores. If people buy on iTunes, they don't come into Wal-Mart.
Are you serious? Wal-Mart doesn't put a single thing in their store if it doesn't make them money. With Wal-Mart selling 40% of ALL DVD sales, they are making a nice revenue.
The only thing that they may start doing that doesn't make them much is their new generic drug program, where they are selling over 300 generic drugs at a much deeper discount then leading competitors. Wal-Mart isn't required to report earnings in this field, so who knows how it will go. I'm assuming well.

As a MBP owner who bought a rev1 model right when they came out -- and has been sending it in to fix its many, many problems constantly, and is now seeing it lag behind the iMacs in speed and power -- I feel like I bought a lemon. Thanks, Apple, for pissing in my face.
Get over it..you knew the risks.....I hate when people do this. I have 2 Rev A Macs, one has had 3 problems 2.5years, my Mini has been flawless.
