Thanks, that looks really interesting.
Quite welcome :). And that brand is good - I have a couple hard drive docks from them. And as far as the reseller - OtherWorldComputing - they are excellent as well and do a lot of international business. I have one of their SSDs in my iMac.

Microsoft has responded, as usual a vicious and inaccurate rumour has been swirled out of hand by the Apple "community":
There's been a TON of traffic about the Bloomberg article that posted today - plus I noticed they updated the article a few hours ago:
�We have nothing to announce about another Zune device -- but most recently have introduced Zune HD to Canada via the Zune Originals store and remain committed to supporting our devices in North America,� the company said in an e-mailed statement. �We are thrilled by the consumer excitement for Zune across many new platforms, including Windows Phone 7 and Xbox 360. Our long-term strategy focuses on the strength of the entire Zune ecosystem across Microsoft platforms.�
I've had tweets, emails, PMs and phone calls. People offering condolences, checking in on me, etc... etc... Stop, stop, stop!
The Bloomberg article is NOT an official statement from Microsoft (apart from the quote above). The headline is purportedly from a "person familiar with the matter" - which of course tells you nothing.
Here's what you should know - ALL consumer electronics products have a lifespan, and the Zune HD is 18mo old. We were completely frank about this year's Zune hardware being the WP7 phones, and we continue to both sell and fully support the Zune HD line of products. And as I've promised - we continue to bring new apps and games to the platform. More of those are in the works, I promise you.
I manage business development for Zune hardware, and I still have that job. Our PR folks released a statement today that included the text: "We�ll share more information about the evolution of the Zune entertainment service and Zune hardware as future plans develop."
To be 100% clear - NO information about our future plans, no matter what the incarnation, has been shared. Until then treat with healthy skepticism anything you read. That's probably a good general rule actually.
So for those who tweeted or emailed asking what I'm "going to do now" - I'll be going to work tomorrow, working on Zune hardware bizdev. And when Microsoft announces news that is actually news, you'll hear it from us directly, and I'll be sure to pass it on immediately. Only then should you take it as gospel.
Cheers, Dave.

Looks like it :)
I think "Wow!" every time I pass my hand over my Cube to wake it up or put it to sleep. And the G3 Powerbook still wows me as a piece of design. All my ex-Macs get passed on to my kids.
I have the WOW effect every day I use my PowerBook. It does what I want with some style. I like the way it thinks, just like me :)

You'll probably be better off trying to sell your Touch out right. I don't think anyone would have an unopened iPhone.

Exactly. Why cannot every see this? The iPhone 3GS was a massive jump internally over the iPhone 1 / iPhone 2 (3G). The 3G was one of the lamest of the iPhone updates to date.
This statement is just wrong on so many levels.
Hardware speed is nice, but network access is the big thing for phones. Don't believe me? Switch off your 3G and spend a few days on the EDGE network and see how much fun your iPhone is.
Buying another 3G phone is just asking to be left behind by everyone else as LTE/4G is deployed and new apps become dependent on the high-speed connection that it offers -- it's akin to being the last person in the store to buy a regular DVD or VHS player.
Thanks, Apple, but no thanks. I'm not going to be tied a two year service agreement for an outdated phone made of a fragile material with reception issues. No LTE/4G = No sale as far as I'm concerned.

It seems that most if not all stores are getting shipments daily around noon. That was the case yesterday in Boulder, CO. At 10:30am they had none, but at 3pm they had stock of both models.

I recent had to make this same decision......
In my case, I had to chose between a Quicksilver 733 that CompUSA had for $999 (including 2 year warranty) or one of the new ones (in my case, probably the dual 867) for $1699.
I went with the Quicksilver, and with the money I saved from the new ones...I've replaced the stock hard drive with 2 WD Special Edition drives, maxed out the RAM at 1.5GB, and will add a DVD-R drive. With the upgrades, I've still spent less than $1699.
I don't regret my choice at all....I realize "official" benchmarks will show my machine is slower than the new models, however, after having played with them in the store, my eyes can't tell any difference. Yes, for Photoshop and iMovie, the new ones would probably save me some time, but the Quicksilver will hold me over nicely until there is a "major" upgrade.
I'll be content to keep this until Apple goes with the new IBM chip, which seems to be able to offer a significant performance boost. Until then, I'll have a drink and wait :)

I miss the old Apple... The Apple that had the great, funny commercials. And also the fun to watch commercials. I remember these, they were the BEST. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN3RU8pJR74
So why don't they make these anymore?
Well, I am so NOT the target audience for those ads - they don't speak to me at all. If anything, then I knew exactly what product NOT to buy after watching that ad.
The last Apple ads that I liked were the Think Different ads with Alfred Hitchcock & Co. And before that, the Charles Chaplin ads. That tells me a lot about how much Apple changed and with them their target audience.

Completing my Final Cut project tonight. I have been down the last few days because for some reason F@H will suck away power from FCP, even tho it is not supposed to (same with F@H and Pro Tools).:confused:
Anyway, hopefully I will be back up tomorrow and booted in Windows with bigadv and GPU to make up some lost time.;)

The only ones who even remotely have iWork tagged as an office competitor are those hardcore mac users despise anything that doesn't have the Apple logo on it. It is a consumer application. If iWork is not shipped with every Mac, nine times out of ten they're going to buy some version of office because that's the standard that everyone knows. I used Claris then Appleworks until it got too far behind pretty much because it came with my Mac.
Nonsense. Pages is perfectly capable of serving as a everyday word processor outside of "consumer" environment, and Keynote whacks the poop out of PowerPoint for presentations.

why do u hate the magic mouse so much, i love mine, only thing i dont like about it is the battery life, that sucks
Honestly, mate, I don't know where to start...
1). it's heavy. Feels like I'm dragging a brick.
2). the whole unibody thing, whereby the buttons are 'hidden', and you have 'lean' on the edges of it? Design gone mad.
3). the Apple 'gestures' that it supports? Big f**kin' deal.
4). it runs on batteries - which means that its batteries can run out.
5). start again at 1).
Horrible. I probably could've got �30 for it on eBay... but it just stank, so I gave it to my Dad, who'd just bought a Mini. He thought it stank too, and put it in a drawer.
In my opinion? Rubbish. Emperor's New Clothes: "hey, Apple-brains! Use this new piece of crap! It's rrrrrreally awesome! And only �57...!!!"
I never want to see one again, in my life.
The lack of a physical scroll wheel with detents will always deter gamers, especially those that need precision scrolling (i.e. switching between weapons).
Yeah. What he said, too.

I don't need one friday, but I'm wondering if friday night or saturday morning they'll still have a 16GB Verizon model and how long the wait would be to get in and purchase one.
I highly doubt there will be any line on Saturday. But I also think that the 3G models are not as big as seller as the WiFi model so you might be good. I hope they have a good stock. I'll probably go down to the store sometime this week and talk to them about it.

Alternatively, you could create a third partition on your laptop and format it as FAT32 or exFAT and keep all of your data on there so both Windows and Mac and read & write the files.
Hmm, FAT32 only allows for 4GB, right? Anyway, can you please tell me how this can be achieved? Links would be appreciated :)
I haven't found anything that works well for Windows. I would recommend that you give MacDrive a try or look a Paragon. Both are well maintained and if there is an issue have tools to help you repair the partition.
I see, but like i said, MacDrive is paid.. So is Paragon.. i need a free version, if you know of any. thanks :D
Side note: Did you know that NTFS Mounter works perfectly for and quietly for writing NTFS from HFS?
Cheers :)

But see, that's just it. If we're working back and forth on .docs and .xls's, we can't have ANY formating problems - they've got to match. AND I'm not going to jump through any hoops by using this or that piece of software to make it happen. Don't have time - gotta produce!
Well, MS Office is a piece of software, so you kind of still have to "use this or that piece of software". If you find NeoOffice/OpenOffice (they're the same thing - NeoOffice is java-based, and OpenOffice uses X11. The only difference is that NeoOffice is a little behind on versions) handles formatting fine, then use it, and you won't have problems.
And guess what, they're both free. So why don't you go and try them out. Who knows, they might surprise you.

That's very weird! I know the sound you're talking about (a muted TV drives me crazy!) but I've never heard of anything doing it when the system is turned off. I suspect it's the power supply (there's not much else it could be), and presumably the noise stops when you unplug the computer. If not, then you have gremlins :p
