In all ways except plumbing, she's a woman.
Are you mad enough to join in the beat down?
Not that I don't appreciate your sentiment, but her pluming has been reported as female (unless you mean a womb?). Though yes, even if it wasn't it wouldn't change the fact that she's a woman
People seem to be making all kinds of assumptions about this girl they've never met, it's ridiculous.

Figure that, unless it becomes active enough to warrant doing so, one thread for OC should be fine.
We've got South Coast, Irvine, and Brea, maybe another one I'm forgetting.
Anyway, for those going to the store on Friday, this seems like a good place to post line lengths and poke around to meet up with fellow MR members.
I'll be going to the Brea Mall store around 3PM or so.

notices something. Most of those devices are a lot newer. Like I said my car from 2004 can play MP3 but not AAC files. Things from back then it was iffy at best if it it could play AAC.
Mp3 plays on everything. AAC does not. MP3 is supported on older devices. AAC is not.
AAC is just not as widely support as MP3 end of story.
Top it off Mp3 is smaller at the same bit rate

At a certain point you really are not gaining anything. Amazon VBR is a great way to give great quality sound for a smaller file size.
The Xbox360 is only one year newer then you car, so it is not that much newer... The same for PSP too.. the first portable digital audio player to play MP3 was 1998. MP3 1995-96. AAC was 1997...

do you need to have a zillion gigabites free to use time machine in a decent way?
for example, if you have a 1 gigabite film, and u delete it 'putting it in the trash, and empty trash', it's still going to be on your hard drive, taking up space, right? and will it also save your cookies, bookmarks, deleted programs,
i rarely delete stuff by accident...so i hope this can be turned off, and won't interrupt much of my normal workflow, the way things are deleted now.
You can turn Time-Machine off

THere are two articles on the home page right now: one about Verizon iPhones not selling as well as thought, and one on the Verizon iPhone surge causing Android US market share to slip.
So the news is that they are simultaneously doing better and worse than anticipated?

This is a ridiculous assessment, based on nothing. Apple now has three growth businesses from which to build, and potentially a fourth. Hardly a company on earth would not envy Apple's potential.
Based on the verdict of the markets it would seem that Apple's potential is not so great...but you know better than that right ;)

Why don't you pick up the real Eames Aluminum Management chair?
I bought one for the office and it's extremely nice and comfortable. It's def a show-stopper when people enter.

Nothing as serious as a $1k purchase, but my (almost) two year old purchased an album from iTunes, by accident, on my iPad last week. I used the "report a concern" link that was on my receipt to report the problem. I got an email from an Apple rep the next day saying that they would give me a refund, but it would be a "one time exception."
From email:
Please note that the iTunes Store Terms of Sale state that all sales are final, so this is a one-time exception.
The best way to avoid unintentional purchases is to use the Shopping Cart. That way, you can consolidate and review your selections carefully and buy them when you're ready. Here's how to use the Shopping Cart:
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n93017
I've come across a way to get a refund without saying it was an accidental purpose, although in my two cases it was an actual error with the store that led to it. On two occasions I purchased some albums and it took my money, but the songs themselves refused to download and wouldn't even show up in my 'Available Downloads'. I had the receipt and they were added to my history, and after a few emails back and forth with store support (who were actually quite apologetic, for Apple) I got a refund. Then a few weeks later, randomly, the albums started downloading. Very weird situation, but I guess something went buggy briefly when I submitted my purchases - and I'm only posting this in case someone accidentally purchases stuff in the future, it seems that doing that is more likely to result in Apple issuing you your refund.

Too bad to hear about the brea store. Before I left to go to best buy i told the end of the line that there was no one in line at the Fullerton best buy.
No one believed me apparently because only a couple came. Showed up at 12:30, was 4th in line and walked out with a 16 GB white by 5:15. Everyone else who came from the mall got theirs as well

WOW I'm amazed that that many people flocked to buy the app. I rarely view flash content on my iDevice and thus thought that it would be a flop.
With the regard to the previous argument, I think Steve Jobs meant well when he rejected Flash on iOS. Handheld devices are not great an environment at all for Flash with all the problems of security and performance outstanding. Since the beginning, developers on this platform have always been aware of the situation and groomed their content towards a Flash-minimal standard (even before iPhone came out, how many sites did you browse on your phones that featured Flash ?).
It is arguable that with its technical prowess the iPhone could have easily embraced Flash and minimized consumers' discontent as did Android; but being the perfectionist that he is, Steve can't let that happen citing numerous advantages of the renunciation, which are totally reasonable. So it is simply a matter of his vision, and eccentricities, you may say.
I don't agree with the likening of Apple to 'communist dictators'. Far from that, they have switched the allegiance to Intel and are slowly phasing out FireWire, which shows that while egoistically ambitious, Apple will just do what they think is best for their products and their customers. And isn't that what every business does ?
If you're personally dissatisfied with the direction Apple is headed, you don't have to blow it up into a corporate bad blood. Apple is not listening, anyway.

Guys, which one should I get?
I've been trying to score an iPad2 and now here comes the new ix.Mac.MarketingName, which sounds awesome! So between this and iPad2, ATV2, Air, MBP, iPhone, Mac Pro, Nano and iMac, what should I get?
Mostly I would use this for web surfing and light photo editing, but it also needs to dry laundry and serve as daily transportation for my 8 mile commute. But, I'm worried the new ix.Mac.MarketingName requires Z-rated tires, which are quite expensive. I'm also curious whether, with the right apps, the ix.Mac.MarketingName can serve as a prophylactic or if it's better to have a dedicated device for that.
Thanks for the laugh Cheerwino! You had me in stitches. :)

Hey u haven't seen the "200 new features". Just kidding. I'm with you. The only upgrade I paid for was from Jag to Panther, I wanted to use Expose. But I only got Tiger due to the fact that it came on new MBPs. This OS release hasn't shown anything that's really worth it. :rolleyes:
So far, Leopard is something I'm not willing to pay for.
I expected just a little bit of a UI change, it just looks like a little updated version of Tiger.
I really wonder what these top secret features are because the current features aren't impressing me enough to open my wallet.

People looking to upgrade to iPhone 5 should be happy.. If it's delayed, that means they're taking their time and hopefully making a great product. Hoping for a bigger screen and antenna back inside!

Finally!
I was going to spring for the refurb i5 at $1449 but then I saw the late 2009 i7 for $1369 and was wondering which model I should go for.
I'm honestly leaning towards the i7 and have a lot of faith in apple refurb products.
