Microsoft has to worry about bigger things than getting their OS to run on macs, how about getting their OS to run on a PC (IE: Vista).
Microsoft was late to the plate and I wouldn't be suprised if they just bought out a company to get back in the competition.
take it easy on them, they saved apple's ass in the 90's. if it weren't for them apple would have gone 'rupt. they also have to worry about a thousand different hardware configurations whereas os x 10 has to worry about the mac line.. give 'em a break. (not an ms fanboy) :mad:

Why on Earth would you expect Apple to ship iWork with it's machines for free? iWork is not MS Works - it's already far superior, and it's still a baby. In one or two more revisions, iWork will be a better overall suite of Apps than Office (which frankly, isn't saying much). It's unreasonable to expect Apple to give that away for free.
For the same reason the iLife suite is bundled with every Mac system -- to get people using them, and in the habit of buying the upgrades. I don't understand why Apple thinks this strategy works for iLife but not for iWork. Very short-sighted.

I have an Apple BT mouse and it really is great. The response time is very good and I've gotten use to the one button over two. Actually, I've gotten more use to keyboard commands that take place of the right click in many cases.

Tried updating to the latest OS. It failed and itunes says iPad needs to be restored. Tried restoring and get error code (-1). tried restoring again. It goes through the restore process, completes, then says it needs to be restored (as if that's not what I just did). So I try again and get error code (-1)

There are circuits built into the charging/battery process that stop it from continuing to charge after it is totally charged. I leave my iPod classic (and before that the 3 different 5th gens that I had) plugged in all the time in a speaker dock and I've never had any problems with the batteries.

Is there something else that will?

I'm not buying the iPhone 6 timeline.
The 5 rumors make some sense, so as to not piss off the new Verizon owners who couldn't wait for the 5 to come out in June. However, assuming the 5 isn't slated to begin production until October, why would Apple release a new phone 6 months (or less) later? That will just piss both AT&T AND Verizon users who upgrade to the 5. I can't see them ramping up production for a phone with a 6 month anticipated life span.

Wow, I must say that it caught me by surprise when I opened Safari and got hit with the new page design like a freight train. I guess I didn't realize how used to the older style I was, but it is on its way to looking like a more modern and freshened design.

So: I do believe I can have both Bootcamp and Fusion.. Do they both access the same "Windows" install where I can see my files and stuff?
Yes. More info here: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1014618
Install Boot Camp normally first then follow the additional steps in the guide.
There was someone who managed to do the opposite. Launching their native OS X install in Virtualbox while booted to Windows, but that is a hackintosh-style operation.

But very close, and closer than it has ever been.
I have always wanted a small laptop. I need a keyboard, and pixel level accuracy. This leaves OUT the Ipad.
However, the MBA is not perfect. The software for sleep is not 100% perfect. I have received updates from both Apple and various software manufacturers that are on my machine, that I am sure that are directly related to crash reports that I have sent in.
My best friend the genius says he hasn't heard of my problems, but they happen all the time. (I am a fan of just shutting the lid).
I have an ultimate 11 inch machine. 4 gigs, 1.6 processor. The 4 gigs is perfect, but I would like the processor to be a little bit faster. Some apps that I run, are just a "bit" laggy. I would also like 256 gig SSD. I actually think I need about 200 gig. I am definitely making decisions to cut down on app load because of disk space, not too mention ANY real amounts of media. I would also like a bit more physical screen size. It looks like more should be available. I don't need back-lit keys, but I wouldn't care if they added it.
It's almost perfect.

Try putting it into DFU mode and then connecting to iTunes. I had similar problems once.
Tiny Umbrella may also be of use, depending on where it gets stuck in the restore process. If it's right at the end (when the white bar on the screen is meant to make it all the way across the screen but somehow doesn't), try just using TU to kick the ipad out of restore mode.

Would also be nice if they had a $250 15" LCD and a $99 CRT monitor.
But Apple has always walked away from the low margin product -- though the $650-$699 eMacs for education are reaching down quite a bit.
Basically there isn't enough margin in the low end for Apple to sell there -- it's basically a loss-leader and/or break even (if they're lucky) product for the likes of a lot of other companies.

Zune set the stage for wp7 and now zune is going to go the other way.

It's a better connection than using crimp connectors, and is how your expensive electronics are manufactured (all the components are soldered to the PCB). ;)
Soldering wire isn't as common as crimp connectors due to costs (more labor intensive to solder, as well as more expensive materials and equipment is used).
Either way will work, so it's up to you (soldered version isn't quite as messy IMO).
The one I linked was 0.5 meters. You cannot go over 1.0 meters in total cable length with SATA drives, so please keep that in mind (the signal voltage is weak, and anything longer causes stability problems).
Skip this one.
Thanks for all the invaluable advice. I am now pretty much ready to put the order in for all the parts and upgrade this thing to 2x X5690, 2x SSD, 4x 3TB in RAID5 ,1880 Areca controller and the MaxUpgrades kit. The mac is already here, some company went bust and I picked up a new, boxed 2010 8-core machine for 2.7k with apple care which is sure as heck cheaper and less burdensome than building one from scratch.
It's a damn shame about not being able to boot off more than one volume that is on the 1880 controller as I ultimately wanted to have 2x 240GB 6G mercury drives each with a different OS in pass through mode, now it looks like I will go for a slightly cheaper SATA2 SSD for the Win 7 install since it will be off the onboard controller.
I suppose I could still RAID0 2x 240GB 6G Mercury drives and use bootcamp to install on a 240GB partition dedicated to Windows 7, but this would be a riskier setup since I would loose access to both OS if the RAID0 played up. The Mac would not have trouble booting two OS off a partitioned RAID0 volume would it?
The mercury drives do sound reliable though, do you think a RAID0 with the 2x new 6G Mercury's is viable option? Or should I get those RAID edition Mercury drives, what makes them more suitable for RAID anywhere?

Would that be possibly that Apple is trying to patent as many as possible user interface/method so that no one can get anything closer to the REAL video iPod?
I think that's a much more likely possibility. It's smart to patent anything you invent, even if you have no intention of using it for anything.

Microsoft has announced that it has halted development on a universal version of VirtualPC.
VirtualPC has long-been the king of the hill for Virtualization on Macintosh. With the Intel transition, however, came competitive pressure from Parallels (http://www.parallels.com/en/products/desktop/), which has since released the final version of its product, and VMWare which is showcasing a beta (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/08/20060805151513.shtml) of its solution at WWDC.
Microsoft has claimed that to port VirtualPC to Intel would be much like making VirtualPC 1.0 all over again.
Digg This (http://digg.com/apple/Microsoft_Officially_Kills_Virtual_PC)
As a Powerbook G4 User, VPC was all of unusable, really slow. I know that it has (had ?) to emulate an entire Hardware platform, but knowing how much bloatware M$ produce, I am sure it could have been a hell of a lot faster if it was coded better. I know that M$ purchased this software from Connectix, but successive versions gained features and lost speed !

I just had an Art Director for a Stop Motion Animation Movie Company leave our shop. We ran a bunch of 3x6 foot fine art prints for her for the Sundance Film Festival (we are in Utah).
She and her art team created the posters digitally from a series of still photos taken with a Nikon D-300. The still photos were of painted sets and set characters. The paints they used were very pastel-like and bright. They then pushed these prints and added text in RGB format in Illustrator and Photoshop.
Their display was a Dell 30" high Color.
We showed them proofs on a calibrated high gamut HP LP3065 and then on an ACD 23".
Our printers for this job are fully calibrated (closed loop color) HP Z3100, Colorspan Displaymaker, and HP DesignJet 130 both with EFI Designer XL RIPS with full Spectrophotometer Support.
The art director was highly bummed that the InkJet Prints would not match her Dell or our HP LP3065 (both very wide gamut). She had no background in Color Management and no understanding of RGB versus CMYK, if you can imagine this!!
She kept moaning that she needed to find a way for the print to match her display. We kept telling her to refer to the ACD 23 for a more realistic expectation as to how the prints would look in final form.
It was amazing to me her lack of understanding of color gamut and how cmyk printing cannot match today's HC or High Gamut Monitors.
I offer this to this thread as there are a lot of people complaining that Apple's ACD's are "out-of-date," etc.
Actually, they are not: they are simply technology that is very targeted at a group of professionals that Apple use to covet as its "own:" print professionals and print-based photographers.
While Apple has moved past this market heavily into entertainment and broadcast video, their monitors have remained focused on this area. Surely they will update them. But for now, please understand why Apple's ACD's remain as they are and that they still have a large user base that actually needs and prefers these gamut specs.
I am of the belief that a creative shop should have many monitors as we do: some high gamut and some standard SWOP gamut, like ACD's.
We moved far beyond print a long time ago: we focus now on Video, CMS-based web development and broadcasting, and Flash. High Gamut is great for this (though not without its risks even for this market as many end-users have older, low gamut LCD's).
But to call Apple's ACD's out of date is just pain misinformation and lack of knowledge on a complex and tricky subject.
great post; very interesting. i currently own a 23" ACD but have been entertaining the idea of upgrading to a 30", and the HP has been high on the list because of its high contrast, multiple inputs and attractive price compared to the ACD30.
are you saying that using the adjustment controls on the HP, one cannot balance the color to match that of the ACD? or is it just that at its "default" values out of the box, it gives a hyped picture?
