Oh, and Im glad Apple's growth is positive (so I cant be accused of non-topical posts) :p

Switched to macs back in 2001 and while I love the OS I have had a continuous stream of hardware problems with all apple products I have bought:
iBook G3: logic board died and replaced 3 times
iMac G5: CPU got so hot the machine almost melted! So far I have had the logic board replaced 3 times.
MacBook: Random shutdown syndrome, faulty mouse and track pad, palm rest discoloration. Currently in for repair again!
iPod: hard disk and battery both died
EDIT: and don't get me started about the abomination that is the so called mighty mouse. The thing barely lasted a week!
Apple have really got to get there quality control sorted out. So what if the OS is great if the continual hardware faults mean you can't actually use the damn thing!
One cheesed off mac user.
Your experience is clearly not representative. My family and I have had 9 Macs, and no hardware problems ever. And large surveys, including those by PC Magazine and Consumer Reports, have shown that Apple desktops require significantly fewer repairs than any other brand out there.
Either you are trolling, or you are the most unlucky Mac user I have ever heard of...

I could really see that, with the iPhone 3G (it was actually the 3rd phone) and had 3G.
3G was the 2nd. 3GS was the third.
This would be absolutely awesome! As long as its implimented well and that it has a virtual 3D slider to adjust how much it's all popping up at you.

While I'm no fan of Apple's "random" app approval, I am glad that it does have some standards. The last thing I want is for the app store to be overrun by malware and virus coded apps, not stop pop-ups, system grossing apps, and (what is 97% of the internet) porn apps. Sure these can be found in safari, but i don't want to have to sift through all that when I'm just trying to find a game or a navigation app.

Over-the-air updates over the cellular network is a fine idea, but it's just not that important. That's not really a capability I value at all. Nice, but so what?
What Apple should have done a long time ago is made it possible to update and sync iDevices over WiFi. There is enough bandwidth on WiFi to do all of that just fine. And there is no technical reason it can't be done.
Seriously, why the heck, when I'm at home on my WiFi network (Apple gear too, btw) do I need to connect my iPhone to my computer with a stupid USB cable? If I want to install an iOS patch or simply add a couple of songs from my iTunes library, I should be able to do it while I'm sitting on the couch, or at the dinner table. Having to use a cable is sooooo 5 years ago.

Yes the chipset has PATA for optical right now, they also show the two unused SATA over by the Optical drive -- but use them for whatever if they are there.
Doesn't mean Apple won't switch and make use of them for optical if there is need.

Wow. Where did you find this schmatic? This means you can alternately run your opticals external on a FW bus outside and put two more SATA Drives inside the "optical is optional" bays for a total of 4.5 TB possible inside (6 x 750GB). Fantastic and Awesome!!
Make them all 400GB @$100 each and you can have 2.4 TB inside for $600.
You can have your system stuff running on one of those with a second for scratch - video - then have 4 removables under the shelf for different clients. KILLER for Client management. This is incredible. I am really getting crazy excited about the new Mac Pro's design. :eek:
Also just went over all the Leopard previews today and am now getting a Jones for Leopard's new features big time. Now for the 8 or 9 month wait. Wow. :eek:

Thats no true.
Apple just a few days ago released Mac OS X 10.6.7 and was only 475MB, and the Combo update was only 1.12GB. Mac OS X 10.6.6 brought the Mac App Store and was only 143MB.
I don't know why your updates are 4GB.
He didn't mean the Mac OS; he meant an app he bought from the App Store that was 4GB.

Please. A Macbook costs about $1,000. There will be people who deliberately go for something cheaper, but the majority of people can _afford_ it. The "similarly performing system" to the mini tower is the iMac for $1199. And people who are poor but clever know that in the long term, quality is cheaper - usually the best thing to buy is the cheapest of the best, which would be for example the MacBook. It will still be running fine when you bought the second replacement for a cheaper laptop.
That $1199 iMac has lots of other wonderful features including a screen, but if you think it is anywhere close to the performance of a i7-2600 based PC (that go for $750 from HP/Dell) then you are delusional. To get something from Apple with an equivalent processor you are looking at a $2199 iMac or a $2499 Mac Pro. Doesn't matter that in the long term the Mac could be a better value, some people can't justify that huge price difference or paying additional for features they don't need or want or cannot afford to.
Again Macs are a premium product and because of that Apple will hit a ceiling of those who can afford or justify buying their products.

If you have shared responsibilities e.g. to send the kids to school (not realy cheap where I am), which takes a consierablen slap out of the salary, certain purchases might not be considered really important/essential for the family's well-being by the significant other (compared to lets sayspending the money for new clothes for the kid or a family trip). I still do it but tell her after the fact with a good justification (if possible). Works most of the time (and I am screwed if it doesn't).
I take it you are not married or in a serious long term relationship...?
Here we go with the "You said this, so you must be this..." stereotype... :rolleyes:
I know guys where even though they are the "bread winner" or contribute greatly to the funds, they have to approve EVERYTHING through the Wife - whereas the Wife can spend as she pleases....
Happy Wife, Happy Life... :eek:
Not into that type of relationship.

HAHAHA, i'm guessing Gates never had his way with the ladies ;)
I have the sneaking suspicion Gates didn't have much trouble with the ladies... considering while most people were offering drinks, he was offering weekend trysts to remote islands off the cost of Fiji.
Or better yet, he could just offer the entire island.

FINALLY got through on the phone to APPLECARE and talked to Brett after being on hold for 25 minutes, he said the site and their phone lines are getting hit HARD right now, and that the site will be back up in one hour.
So until then lets be patient and think about those BRAND NEW BATTERIES we'll be getting at Sony's expense (of course, keep a fire extinguisher and a bottle of vodka in your backpack just in case.)
Take Care macheads :)

I hope that the screen is nice and easy on the eyes. The issues that I've had with devices that try to do this plus other features (i.e. like a palm device) is that: 1) the screens aren't big enough (the iPod mockups look like they will be OK) 2) scrolling is funky (fluid wheel scrolling could be accurate, fun and easy to use and 3) staring at a bright screen for hours of reading is tough on the eyes and feels a little weird.
This is a pretty exciting feature though, can't wait!:D

I went over a store lately where they sell macs and other stuff like fridges , phones , televisions , pc's , ...
In that store I was interested in the 17" mbp and the salesman said it was the last one they had and they gave a discount of �200 because they couldn't order a new one.
Then I made the hard choice :( of waiting till the new one comes out.
So only buy when you really need it.:D

Well, yes. That's a point that's been repeated, and replied to, ad nauseum.
One more time:
Remaking Flash 10 for more efficient mobile use is exactly what Adobe is trying to do, with the help of ARM designers.
If it runs well, full Flash could become popular on mobiles* as a universal application development and delivery platform. If it doesn't run well, it'll have to wait until cpus get faster.
* With the probable early exception of the iPhone.
Yes but so far the few phones that have had the full version of flash on them like htc reviewers have savaged.
