my battery is one of the one's that needs replaced, but the website won't take the serial number (verified by someone at apple) and tech support is clogged for the day, so hopefully sometime later this week i can get a battery sent to me. anyway, if anyone else goes there and has the 5 digit number in the range but it won't take your serial number be sure to call apple because it could be a website error.
That's what happend to me. Called Apple support. They were great. The lady I spoke with said that there were errors happening on the website, but she was able to get it through by changing my serial number. She said she was using the recall website.

Didn't read through the whole thread so i'm not sure if this had been mentioned but there was a story on the TWIT the other day about a CEO who bought an iphone and tried to view his company's website but he couldn't because it was flash based. He then made his IT department completely re-write the website so that he could view it on his iphone.
I assume as the iphone becomes a more business orientated mobile more website may move away from flash.
IMO though I rarely go to a site where i need flash so i don't really care if it come to the iphone or not.

I was joking around - in the original game there were literally sections that were copied and pasted to artificially lengthen the game.
Yea, the Library, I got that. I just misunderstood you, and thought you meant parts of Reach were artificially lengthened, which I was confused about. And yes, thankfully, there are no levels in this game reminiscent of The Library in CE, or Cortana in Halo 3. Those 2 levels, and the Flood within, are some of the worst things in the series, in my opinion.

So why not fit the Proven iPhone4 camers in the iPad then?
The cost had been ramped down due to the camera being out virtually a year, so it's all done and dusted and just needed fitting.
Price wise about $5 dollars more.
I can't see any real reason to hold it back apart from a deliberate ploy to fit something bad to give people a strong reason to upgrade to iPad3.
Unless there are negatives in doing so, Price, Weight etc? Why deliberately fit something bad?
The negatives in doing so are Steve Jobs' and Johnny Ive's egos.
Stuffing the Iphone4 camera into the Ipad2 would have required them to increase the overall depth of the unit to accommodate it. Then again with the laughably piss poor camera app implementation on the Ipad it's a wonder anyone wants to take photo stills with it at all. Hold it lengthwise (which seems to be the natural position that everyone tries to hold it in every review, and should be the natural position since it's widescreen) and the UI rotates to the bottom, meaning there's no way to touch the "capture" button without letting go of it with one hand.

there is a reason why each processor in the Mac Pro alone costs a lot more than the whole $750 PC.

The banner is current products (other than the Tiger disc) and is being waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy over analysed.
Apple is trying to give us a clue. It could read a message for those that want to crack the code. Perhaps the third letter of every product or something. Hidden messages would be a cool idea.

Apple also doesn't have to sell their products in every store. I am sure Apple could say that they couldn't do that if they want to continue selling the iPad 2. I'd be very surprised if Apple knew about this and allowed it.
My guess is that since managers are pressuring the sales staff to sell the add-ons so hard, that they are just saying its required.
Working in a retail shop (photo goods); I can say that margins on hard goods is so razor thin, requiring ad-ons makes sense. It also keeps scalpers away for the likes of the iPad 2.

I have 3 USB 1 ports and 2 FireWire ports. Does that mean if I buy a new 8Gb Nano, it won't work with my system? :(
Your iMacG5 doesn't have USB 2 ports? As far as I know, ALL iMac G5s had USB 2 ports...even previous iBook G4s had that already...I think you're mistaken, sorry.

Calling Apple a hardware company is like calling McDonalds a hamburger stand.
And that would be an insult to all of the other hamburger stands!
Incidentally, Apple dealers aren't selling Macs with XP "pre-installed," they are doing it as an after-market add-on. To pre-install, they'd have to be Microsoft OEMs. I don't think we want Apple to become one of those.

Curious about WWI. The Germans were attacking our merchant vessels and cruise ships with our citizens on them( now granted they were filled with weapons). The Germans were supposed to let the people abandon ship before they sunk it. They didn't do that with the Lusitania and in other cases I believe. So IMHO, WWI was a justified war.
Civil War I disagree with you as well.
But, my giant WTF goes to the bolded. You really think the Revolutionary War was unnecessary? How else would you have proposed separating from Britain?
WW1 was another silly European power struggle which we were pulled into. It isn't as if there was any nation I would call the "bad guys" in WW1. It was just a stupid squabble over resources and power.
I think you could make a point that the Civil War was necessary if you want to claim that freeing the slaves was the major motivator behind the war. The way things actually turned out I think things could probably been handled better through political discourse. Rather than spending several years ordering people to murder each other, then "freeing" the slaves and promptly changing the laws so that blacks were basically relegated to a slave state after the war any way...
The revolutionary war was necessary if you assume that the USA being its own sovereign nation is a particularly important thing. This is not a belief to which I subscribe, in my eyes the revolutionary war is more an example of an upstart colony being expected to work with its parent nation and deciding that it didn't feel like it (much like an 8 year old child). The motivations behind our separation from the British empire was basically "we don't want to pay taxes, also were miffed about you selling us tea cheaper than we could buy it from smugglers :confused::confused:".
I only support violent intervention when one side in a conflict has made it abundantly clear that murder and destruction is one of their actual goals. Once Hitler decided that exterminating millions of human beings was a reasonable thing to do I believe he was beyond the point of reasoning.
Basically what I'm saying is that I believe that violence should only ever be used in order to stop others from doing violence. In any other situation war shouldn't even be viewed as a viable option.
Of course this isn't how most humans behave or view the world, we claim that we only use war as a "last resort". But really people are willing to engage in war over silly conflicts which could easily be settled peacefully if people could just learn to behave reasonably :eek:.

2) How many iPods are sold - through regular outlets - every hour?
3) iPods are made in China
4) If you don't even know the market share how do you know they are threatening iPod sales?
I can't really. It's just anecedotal evidence at best, but...
1) If a manufacturer that can build 2 million per month goes on backorder plus every body and their brother is

Then how do you turn it off? If it's a feature I should have the option to change it back to how it was. It's pretty annoying and I'm surprised no one else is complaining about it
It's an Apple feature, and Apple said yes (http://www.macrumors.com/2011/03/18/ipad-2-wife-says-no-but-apple-says-yes/), so you don't get an option :)
As for those people with Verizon iPhone:
I'm pretty sure Verizon got a copy of 4.3.1 and decided not to release it for their customers. It's usually up to the carrier to test and okay any OS on their network. Verizon has always been the slowest in doing so; it's probably a good thing because the OS on their phones are for the most part very solid.

I totally agree. However, the 4.x was sold as a viable update to my phone, and my older iPod Touch was upgraded automatically. Had I known it would have rendered them quite useless, I would have not agreed to the upgrade. Also, there is no way (that I can tell) to downgrade to a previous IOS (I'm not overly geeky). I am not asking for on-going support, rather that the phone that I paid for works for its lifetime. It is Apple's fault for not providing a reasonable explanation of what the consequences would be or providing an alternative to that IOS.
I agree that they should not deliver an update that makes older phones nearly unusable. There is not much point to doing this. My alternative to this would be that Apple cuts off the older phones from support and updates sooner than they currently do if the hardware can't handle it. The 3G was almost outdated as soon as it shipped, since the software and hardware didn't match up very well.
I think the key point of contention is, what does "for it's lifetime" mean? For a MacBook, it is several years. But for a phone, it is much shorter. I still have an old Nokia 6120 that I bought in 1999, and it still is "alive". But I don't expect Nokia to keep issuing updates for it. Of course if they did, I would hope that it didn't completely kill the phone off.
As for downgrading your OS, I am not a hacker or jailbreaker, but I am fairly sure that if you dive into it a bit you can find a way to downgrade to an earlier and more useful iOS.

Well, yes, on a full-size C2D iMac.
But, did you notice the part where on a similar, C2D AOPEN Mini, running Windows 7, IE8 runs the same Flash movie at 0%-1%, Chrome and Firefox at 4%, but Safari goes to almost 30%.
I'd say it's Apple that has the problem, and not Adobe.
Flash works just fine, and it's useful and necessary to the vast majority of users. Adobe seems to be doing a very good job with 10, and from what I've seen, it runs just fine on mobiles presumably less powerful than the iPhone.
The way I see it, if there is a pi$$ing match between Apple and Adobe, and Adobe takes its ball (Creative Suite) and walks away from Apple, the Mac OS will die, for all practical purposes.
Anyway, the iPhone must have Flash, if it is to remain competitive, and Apple really needs to dedicate some resources, and make sure Flash (and Java) run better on OS X.
First, comparing flash for windows to flash for osx is like comparing apples and oranges. Second, As for your numbers for flash on Safari vs Firefox... I get the same numbers for both. 70%! That sucks any way you slice it. Given that Safari is the fastest browser out there, I don't think it's apples fault. Flash just isn't written well for apple hardware, and until it is, apple won't allow it on the iphone.

As the chart shows, Apple's strongest market share quarter is the 3Q of each year. The interesting thing is that the 4Q has far less drop-off in market share this year.
That indicates to me that the new MBA pulled in sales from places other than the back-to-school crowd.
If things break well, Apple may now be above the 10% threshold in US market share every quarter going forward.
