I will give the microsoft zune a chance. But keep mind microsoft was created as a by-product of apple. I haven't had the best experience with mircosoft. Sooo I'm just curious.
Me too, I am curious. To see if it sucks.
If it is anything like the Gigabeat, it will suck ass.

Well, another loser in appearance. What is wrong with a simple calendar? Does everyone have to now deal with an electronic appointment book? Does Apple see a future so iPadded that laptops and desktops will vanish from the face of the earth?
Just as Apple decreed that all screens must now be glossy, this speeding the deterioration of eyesight, we now must deal with fake appointment books? I'm waiting for strike three, whatever they'll unthink of next.
I no longer use the meMobile calendar. I no longer buy Apple monitors or glossy-screened laptops. I have retrograded to the Mini and will stay with them, until Apple starts making only brown Minis. Or makes it impossible for any Apple device to attach to anything but an Apple monitor/screen.
I really like and appreciate OS X; I'm also apprehensive of how Apple will manage to screw that up.

anything for macbooks? please?
What I'd like is the base MacBook to drop to $999 and the base mini to drop to $499. That's what the G4 versions cost before they were replaced by the Intel versions.

I would love to have a new wireless Mighty Mouse but I already have the original. I might just wait until I get a new Mac to get one.
For some reason, I still hear many people complaining about this. The complaints will more than likely come from the fact of the lack of a "real" right-click.:rolleyes:

I'm interested to see what ends up in this refresh. My MacBook Pro is great, but a good base iMac option could be appealing. My guesses:
Base 21.5"
Quad Core i7 (2.2GHz?); 2x2GB 1333 DDR3; 640GB 7200RPM HDD; ATI Radeon HD 6670; Thunderbolt, ditch Firewire?; 1920x1080
Fully Loaded 27"
3.4GHz Quad Core i7; 4x4GB 1333 DDR3; 512GB SSD & 2TB 7200 RPM HDD; ATI Radeon HD 6870 (1GB); 2560x1440I think dual core i7 or i5 is more likely for the base 21.5". It's great there will be newer machines. I won't be upgrading my 4-month-old base. Instead, I'd get a SSD, 128GB or 160GB would do fine for me. Waiting for the prices to fall down.

One of my main reasons for getting the MB vs. keeping my iBook was Parallels.
I develop for several platforms, so this was 'made in heaven' if i worked.
Well, after a month of testing and developing I can say that Parallels has been an unqualified success.
Currently I'm running Ubuntu, Solaris 10 (Dtrace, zones and ZFS rules, but that is another debate), and Win2k. Apart from an issue getting the screen resolution right in Sun's Java Desktop, I have had no problems whatsoever.
Since I'm not doing any 3D work, graphics acceleration isn't an issue for me.
It's the best 70-odd dollars I've ever spent.
Oh yeah, to the guy with stability issues..... I have no idea what you've been doing to your machine, but I haven't yet had a kernel panic of any kind (nor a BSOD in Parallels), so I don't recognize the situation at all. And, believe me, when you rape a system the way I do, running a long compile in the background while at the same time converting a video (just to see the stress handling capabilities - I wouldn't do that normally, compiles take too long :)), you get a good feel for the stability of the system. This baby is rock solid.
For the record: MB CD 2GB 120GBHD

Lets hope it doesnt end up costing as much as MS Office....:eek:
At $79 a year it will probably be 5 years before the program moves to a commonly useful level where it may have the ability to replace MS Office. The very casual Word Processor user will not have to wait very long, maybe Pages 3 or Pages 4. With the 5 X $79 = $395 we move into the price range of the non-educational price of MS Office. But for the heavy Office user, 5 years may not be long enough.
Apple would used to calculate the Real Total Cost of Ownership for Macs. They would include after purchase service & support costs. We need to do the same for iWork. iWork is not a simple $79 program useless you wait for the version you want, purchase it & then add no updates that have a purchase price. If you want a slimmed down program purchase now, but have few features to give few benefits. If you want a more complete program just wait for the 5th or 6th upgrade. But this way you have no program to use for another 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 years. Anything else requires multiplying the $79 by by a 2, 4, 5 or even larger number to get the true cost of iWork.

Sept. 6th?
Whatever it means, it's interesting.
After you point it out, yes, I do, but I can't imagine that Apple would give ANY clues to future release dates/announcements.
They did with the iPad 2.

Hope this fixes the annoying mute switch bug on the iPhone. Sometimes when using the mute switch, clicking it up results in the phone going into silent mode, and clicking it down puts it into normal mode. This is backwards. It's like it's getting confused. To elaborate even more, moving the switch down (the orange bar is shown) makes it go un-silent, while moving the switch up (so you can't see the orange bar) makes it vibrate and go into silent mode.

I don't mind as long as the pricing is competitive, if its over-priced no way I'll be getting one..
Come on its apple, the thing is going to cost like $5,000 for a 32" screen.
I'm exagerating....... but only a little.

I have a black iPad2 64gb Verizon that I picked up at Brea Mall this morning.
Looking to trade for black iPad2 64gb AT&T.
NEW IN BOX...NOT OPENED...I EXPECT THE SAME FROM YOU.
PLEASE SEND EMAIL TO:
kodaktech

ROFL! No one in their right mind is going to swap an AT&T for a Verizon model when the GSM models are in such short supply.
Also, though I know none of them read Macrumors, I'd like to sneak a moment of catharsis by sending out a big karmic f_ck you to all the scalpers who stood in line on Friday and bought out all the GSM models to ship and sell them overseas.
Anyway, off to order my GSM version online, and then to enjoy my Verizon white 32GB at work while I'm not drafting contracts & wills.

The current Apple TV is a great product at a great price. They just need to expand on it by adding more features and more capability. Open it up for apps, especially when combined with an iPod Touch, iPad, iPhone and you could have an amazing product.

Did Canadian prices actually go down? The 27-inch: 3.1GHz is only $1999, when I think it was $2099 before the refresh.
It'd be nice to have price parity with USD given the strength of our dollar. I think that's achieved in the new iMacs, but the MacBook Pros are still unadjusted.

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple have disabled some functionality.
They know damn well 'secret' features will be leaked out.
The UI theme may change - it doesn't take long.

Does anyone remember the 'look and feel' case Apple had against the eMachines eOne (http://news.cnet.com/Apple-sues-eMachines-for-iMac-look-alike/2100-1040_3-230054.html)?

Having not read the briefs on either side, I can't really offer a knee jerk reaction in either direction. I do find myself both frustrated with the state of intellectual-copyright law and also with the general stagnation in the industry that leads so many to borrow from other companies (mainly Apple). With the exception of Apple we have seen very little disruptive innovation in the last ten years.
My immediate thoughts is that this goes beyond what can be captured in side-by-side photographs. The iPhone is a wildly desirable device and as such is attractive equally to competitors. The issue becomes that rather than differentiate, overwhelmingly, we are seeing companies synthesize and replicate aspects of the iPhone to gain traction. There are deep 'look and feel' issues at play here and over time there is an extent to which it has become a 'cat and mouse' game.
In the end, just like every other one of these cases, it will end in a settlement and both sides will negotiate the most favorable outcome. That whole Creative-Apple row in 2006 ended with Creative becoming one of the first partners in Apple's Made for iPod initiative.

If I worked there I would have stopped it. The employees there handled that situation the wrong way. They should have at least separated the people fighting. They didn't do anything besides saying stop. What is that going to do?
Sadly, that's company policy. Had any of those people had a gun and an employee was shot or stabbed with a knife the company would have quite a lawsuit on their hands. If the employees intervened further they would likely have lost their jobs.
When I worked retail I was told I would be fired if I chased a shoplifter out of the store.
