The world has mostly caught on to Steve Wozniak's vision of having a computer in every home.
Ahem... Everybody likes Woz, but "one computer in every home" has ALWAYS been Microsoft's vision, not Wozniak's.
Besides, what does anybody expect Wozniak to say what his most favorite computer is? An Apple //e? A Dell XPS? A Lenovo Thinkpad? As a founder, employee and shareholder of Apple, of course he has to pick one of their own products, even if he might prefer a self-built Hackintosh over one of Apple's closed boxes. Remember? This guy invented the PC with EXPANSION SLOTS. If you find somebody at Apple who hates closed systems and walled gardens, it will be Steve Wozniak.

I don't remember the paper, but my friend gets it delivered in Draper.
It said you guys were up playing games on a projector and smoking meat or something. Sounded like a pretty good time lol.
I showed up at 4:15PM and was behind about 900+ people!
I'd like to read that if anyone can find it.
Ya some guys brought a big party tent and had two projectors in it. One had XBOX 360 and the other Sportscenter. They also brought a barbecue and made everyone pork and bacon and other stuff. They were awesome.
I'm guessing you didn't get an iPad that day, correct?

I've had T-Mob for three years now, and several benefits are: 1 year contracts, free phone upgrades after a year, GSM technology, unlocked phones on request after a year, overseas roaming, very competitive plans, including family plans, good major market coverage, all-local-all-the-time calls (no roaming, no long distance,) $.05/minute calls to Mexico and Canada - that's cheap, folks! And, voice transmission quality with my Moto V190/V360 series phones has been crystal clear with 1 bar or more signal strength. On the customer service side... other than the stupid initial computer generated person you have to get past, once you're dealing with a real person I find the service to be 1st class, and I've had a few discussions at length with extremely knowledgeable and informally pleasant cust. serv. agents.
Of course, in rural areas, the service is definately more spotty, and at times non-available... but I just wait a few minutes and I'm usually back in range. Somebody said the voice mail at T-Mob wasn't customizable, whatever that means..?? but certainly you can change and record your own message just like with any other service, and I see no difference there.
On the towers, well, T-Mob builds their own towers, and has some kind of mutual agreement with Cingular (formerly AT&T GSM) to use their towers for roaming, and vice versa. Fairly invisible to end users. In fact, I submitted our property on the Oregon coast to t-mobilelandlords.com for consideration as a new tower location. Bottom line: other than the lesser coverage areas compared to Verizon, there's not a thing wrong with my servicel, or the phones they provide. And with my two older phones, when I'm going out to do something physically risky, I just slip my SIM card out of my new phone, and put it in my older Nokia in case it falls in the river. All my phone numbers are duplicated on my new phone's internal memory as well as the SIM, so it's nice having a spare/backup couple of phones in the drawer. Try that with CDMA.
By the way, if you see more 11 yr olds w/ T-Mob phones, it's probably because their parents saw it as a cheaper family plan alternative to the competition. I doubt the kids made the decisions. Can you hear me now?
Now, come on Apple. I'm waiting!

A good spy would've eliminated the cat. I'd rank you guys as "James Bond villain" rather than "Super Spys." :D
Next one has to be iPhoto KT, then I can see if I increase your ranking from "Hawt" to "Spunkrat."

I have noticed that my iPhoto took up nearly half of my 640GB HD, I had 24K pictures. I did some house cleaning and removed lots of albums to folders on the HD and removed the pictures from iPhoto. After cutting out 18K pictures reducing the library to only 6K, iPhoto still took 220GB, my masters were only 56GB.
I found there was a folder with over 158GB, full of tens of thousands of photos, even ones deleted years ago.
I am now using Aperture 3, thanks :apple: for the good price. I now import folders and keep all my folders organized into separate folders by title. I hated the way iPhotos organized.
it is good to recover so much of my HD back.
I have now taken charge of my images and videos, importing separately, rather than using Aperture or iPhoto, then organizing them, then importing them into Aperture or iMove when I need too.

The iPhone is not only on AT&T (international carriers). Why would there be a Verizon-specific category?

To me it sounds like you have some custom equalizer setting in iTunes to boost the bass because afaik it's a straight conversion that Garageband does, ie. what is in the MP3 file gets converted to AIFF. But if you want you can open the MP3 file in Audacity and export it as AIFF and see if there's any difference.
Unfortunately, I don't have any equalizers applied to my iTunes library. The conversion takes all bass away completely and there is a definitive difference in audio quality when playing the song in iTunes (or even in the import menu) compared to playing the song in GarageBand.
The song files are all either m4a or mp3, if this helps.

Heat shouldn't be a problem, the 6600 is a very weak GPU. Even the current Mac Mini's GPU is twice as powerful.

they really are amazing headphones. it's a pity that i can't listen to any of the headphones i have bought in the past few years because they just don't cut it anymore.
you should try the foam earpieces. you remove the rubber pieces, put them on, and then scrunch them up, then stick them in your ear and hold them there for 10 seconds until they expand to form a tight fit. it blocks even more noise than the pre-installed earbuds (but they get dirty really fast, but you can order more on the shure website :))
Yeah I use the yellow foamies exclusively. I have a pack of 20 I ordered from Shure and they really make these phones stand out.

mb maybe but for your groovy camera ;)
i liked your first one better and i will be voting - silly question where do i buy the apple font btw?
Will you take a genuine Apple mousepad instead? :)
The font, Myriad Pro, is available form Adobe for $30, though if you have any Adobe CS apps it should've come bundled. Do a spotlight search, click the font, and select 'install font' when fontbook launches.
Hope I didn't just give away a trade secret! :p :D

"I'm wondering if it's possible to install 10.7 to an external drive?"
Works for me.
IMPORTANT:
Something I discovered is that you MUST have journaling ENABLED with Lion, or the installer won't even "see" the drive and/or partition you are trying to install onto.
Up to this point it has been my standard operating practice to DISable journaling (along with Spotlight) on ALL my drives and partitions. Others may disagree, but I don't like the extraneous "disk activity" that goes on behind the scenes with both of these "features" (at least Disk Utility allows users to turn journaling off if they wish).
So, when I first attempted to install Lion to a spare partition, I couldn't even _find_ the partition in Lion's installer. It just "wasn't there".
I quit the Installer and went to Disk Utility, and re-initialized the target partition, this time with journaling ENABLED. Afterwards, the Lion installer saw it and did its thing.
I'm using a USB2 SATA docking station (with a bare drive) as my hardware platform for testing Lion. Yes, it does boot up a bit slower, but once "up and running", it's just fine.
I can't see why anyone would (at least at this point in the developmental stages) want to use Lion as their "primary system". Already have seen a few postings in the forum with the gist of "how do I downgrade BACK to Snow Leopard?" Well, why did you take such a big chance in the first place?

Yeah, but if I run Darwin on x86 or PPC, it doesn't matter. The OS is handling the memory allocation and such.

This is just another nail in MS's coffin...they are a zombie walking to nowhere right now, and they have no idea where to go in terms of overall corporate strategy.
The sole MS product currently needed in Macs is Office; and by the time the agreement vanishes, we'll surely have more than 2 GREAT productivity suite choices. MS shot itself in the foot when it accepted an open XML format...from then on they have nothing strictly proprietary to tie users up.
As for Vista, it's just a dead dog now. Most of its originally advertised features have been stripped away, and most serious users aren't even considering an upgrade.
MS is close to becoming a gaming rig company, and I couldn't care less.
GO APPLE!

Been at Bluewater in the queue for a hour now. The queue goes from the Apple Store up to House of Fraser and back around all the way back to Oasis! I'm in front of Russell & Bromley :p
They said they are handing out tickets at 3pm and it's up to 2 per customer.

I am expecting similar prices to what we see now. The Yonah is probably more expensive to buy, but the other parts like the motherboard should be cheaper.
Also considering the size of the new Intel Powerbooks (basically the same size as the PowerBook G4, except a bit thinner) I am expecting them to use the ATI X1600M (it's about the speed of a G6800go) because it is quite a fast laptop chip and it is meant to be low power.

I'm more just curious if there has been evidence that the typical response of "we only store them for a few days while we ensure delivery" is not always true. In a lot of crime investigations, it looks like the police look at the text messages stored on the phone itself.
