nice...however, "100 million books downloaded" really can be heavily biased.
1)how many were free books?
2)how many people are actually READING them?...in their entirety? Not iphone or ipod users...must be iPad...and pretty much everyone agrees that reading a 200+ page book on an iPad is very strainful on the eyes.
Reply 1: Who cares? How many Netflix downloads are free movies? BFD.
Reply 2: Nonsense. You can adjust the font, the size, the background color and the brightness. I'm surprised you didn't trot out the "backlit screen hurts your eyes" myth as well.
You just keep trying. Maybe one day, many years from now when information is streamed to our brain implants and displayed on our artificial corneas, Apple will fail to sell a single iPad and you will declare "I told you it was going to be a massive FAIL."

I am going to the Northridge Store. I was there for the 2G, 3G, 3GS. I am still not sure what time I am going to arrive.

Guess what... I already have to get my PB repaired. Yay ! :(
Basically I have an iffy keyboard... It sucks. The tab button is obnoxiously loud and my "I" fails to respond if pressed in the wrong angle and my right arrow is ever-so-slightly above the rest of the other keys. Also my PB fails to play audio from its speakers if headphones are inserted, then removed. I have to half-insert, and remove the headphones to get my audio back... Ugh...
I plan to go to the SF Apple store in person.
So the questions:
Will Apple repair it on the spot?
If they have to send it back, how long would that take? And would I have to pick it back up in person, or do I have to go there?
Is the faulty headphone port attatched to the logic board? If so, would this mean a that I'd need to get another one? I don't like the idea of getting a refurbished board... So I hope not.
Would these issues warrent an entire HD backup?
If so, my other computer is a PC, with 128GB free (It has 2 HDs, one is 80GB (50 GB free), and the other is 200GB, 128 free [Slave drive]). This means its formatted as NTFS... How would I go about backing up my entire Mac HD?
I can't believe I already have to go through this. I got my PB around the end of may...
Thanks
EDIT: I think I put this in the wrong place... Sorry mods, feel free to move it to its appropriate spot.

The MacBook Air and the iPad are the future of portable computing. Thin, light, fast (SSD). Enough power to get the job done, not so much power you need 3 cooling fans and 3 lbs. of battery to do it.
It's not that the MacBook Air is evolving into a mainstream product. It's the mainstream that's evolving into MacBook Air-like products.
I heartily concur:cool:

The was always like the drunk 16 year old girl who arrives at a party in 4am and wonders why everyone is going home.
Though there wasn't anything that tragic about the Zune it just arrived on the Marketplace by far too late to gain any momentum or traction. The other main issue was that it was supposed to be the "first" real competition for the iPod yet it couldn't do anything better than an iPod, the *only* real thing it had upon release over the iPod was an FM tuner (BFD)...
Again I am really surprised they didn't spin off the XBOX360 success with a more integrated or game based Zune, it would have been a winner IMHO.

I'm curious too... I'm down at the best buy in Orem but they haven't even got their shipment yet :-S So if it's not too bad I might head up.

I haven't followed MR that long to notice any big difference but it is true that there is a lot iOS rumors nowadays. I have a hypothesis why it is so. Due to the popularity of iPhone and iPad, sources try to get info about them because they most likely get a better reward from them (a good rumor will mean a lot readers for the site, thus more $). Before iPhone and iPad, Macs and iPods were the only products that Apple made so the same sources tried to get info about them. Now they just go where the money is. A rumor about next gen iMac is nothing compared to a rumor about iPhone 5.

I'd imagine they added some major infrastructure to support the movie downloads, so, I'm betting the downloads overall will be a LOT faster with their upgrades.
Yeah, plus 4x the resolution on all videos.
They probably installed those new Intel Xservers.... I heard they are 16x as fast...:D

I noticed I can't enter the Local Snapshots feature. I don't have a Time Machine back up enabled for my Lion partition but before build 11A444d, I can enter Time Machine and see my snapshots. Now, every time I try to enter Time Machine, I get this. (See Screen Shot).
It does say "Local Snapshots: Enabled", just can't access them.
*sighs*... time to file another bug report.

Yesterday I ordered my first MAC: MBP.
So im asking myself, if there will be maybe a "cheap" update solution to Leopard.
Some1?
When I bought my last Mac laptop (an iBook G3), I bought it just before Panther came out (about 2 months before). Apple sent me Panther in the mail for free, without me even asking. Mind you, that was in Australia, and I don't know if the policy has changed.

Abandon VPC and see what OSX can do for you.
Most of the software for the PC is available for the Mac. (especially photoshop)

I think Chico is talking about professional web design rather than doing it for a friend. I would charge at least $350 as well for a professional design like the example he showed. But if it were for a friend I would charge much less, if anything at all.

In my Economics class, we have a six-page report due over the company of our choosing. In this report, we must summarize the history of said company, its former and current profits, as well as any other general knowledge that would need to be known about the company.
Since I have been a fan of Apple since I was just a little one, I decided to do the paper over, well, Apple. I consider myself to know more than the average person about Apple; its history, its owners, the current status and all that jazz. But, after I visited here, I came to the conclusion I don't know as much as I thought. Besides basic knowledge (i.e. who the CEO is, when it was started, where it was started, etc.), I think I may need some help regarding other parts of the paper. Would anyone assist me in directing me to a well-knowledgeable site(s) regarding Apple's history?
I know I am going the lazy way out (as I could do a simple Google'ing), but I absolutely love this community and I know at least someone could help me.
Or am I wrong?

Comex has been updating his twitter, not sure if any of you follow it or not:
@comex: yeah, uh. I can find kernel exploits, but this is ridiculous.
@comex: As noticed by @0naj, my kernel exploit was fixed in 4.3.1.
@comex: I try not to be paranoid, but it is really hard to explain this as anything but a leak.
@comex: The funny thing is that my "new" kernel exploit is actually the kernel exploit used by JailbreakMe 2.0. It was never properly fixed.
@comex: It stayed there from 4.0.2 through 4.3, but was magically found in time for 4.3.1. well, go go @MuscleNerd and @i0n1c I guess
It doesn't seem to be looking very good for 4.3.1
Wonder if this now means 4.3 will be out soon? Sucks the exploit is burned.

A friend of mine wants to insert a small clip into a DVD movie. Now I'm trying to think of how I could easily do that in a day, and frankly I'm coming up short. So I was wondering if any of you guys could give me some advice.
So here's what I want to do in short:
Have a Movie on DVD.
Want to put a clip (friend is asking a girl to homecoming) in the middle of the movie.
Want to put the spliced movie back onto DVD.
My orignial idea was to use a camera with DV passthrough, record it onto computer, then use editing software to put the clip in and put it on DVD. But if anyone else has a better idea, that would be great.
