Build your own computer its fun and cheaper. You can even use parts to ensure OS X runs on your machine if you want. Ive always built my own and never had any problems. Crossfire 6970s ftw bitches.

He might be a little under the weather, but he'll be fine. If you go back and watch the video from the WWDC '05 he looked totally out of place; dressed in all black and very little energy. It's a fluxional phenomenon with his appearance. WWDC '05 he looked terrible, Apple Special Event #1(Intel iMac & iPod Nano) he looked great, Apple Special Event #2 (iPod Video) he looked great, Macworkd '06 he looked fine, Apple Special Event #3(iPod HiFi announcement) he looked like he had just woke up.
The one thing to remember is that this is a Developer's Conference so there is not going to be a lot of pizazz with flashy announcements. There was not a whole lot of new mind-blowing things announced so he could have been a little bit bored with it.
No matter what, with the transition to Intel chips complete now Apple can start devoting more time to truly new designs and hardware.
This kind of talk happens every keynote. Pardon my ignorance but what is wrong with him exactly? :confused:

Though the App Store would probably be much better for fighting piracy.
Yeah, I'm sure the no-serial, no-DRM app store is a great approach for fighting piracy.
Wanna know what's best for fighting piracy? Good pricing, and they're doing that.

The fact that the 64-bit logo is next to the iMac makes me think Core 2 Duo.
I'm hoping for Conroe, despite iGary's insistence that it won't happen. A 2.16 GHz Conroe is $70 cheaper than the current 1.83 GHz Yonah and the 2 GHz Merom, saving Apple quite a bit of money. The thermal requirements fit the iMac G5's design, and the only hurdle would be the power requirements- Apple would probably need to slightly upgrade the power supply. It's still be a net gain profit-wise. And the performance difference is significant.

Question for everyone.
I was playing with itunes 7, and I realized that if i hit the yellow minimize button (with scale effect set) it minimizes into the dock like normal, but when i try to bring it back from the dock it does nothing for a second and then it just appears. I don't know if the way i wrote that makes sense, but give it a try and see if it works for you.its a genie glitch, or thats how it seems.

As much as I hate my 3G these days (SLOW) i'd rather wait a few extra months for an LTE iPhone to last me another 2 years instead of having LTE in 2012 and feeling the need to upgrade so soon.
Hopefully iPhone 5 will be both 3G/LTE and GSM/CDMA

Mine IS affected but the site is down! So annoying!
Kinda happy though, my battery isn't going that strong anymore.. coconutbattery reports 85%
You know, that 85 percent ain't all that bad. I've got the 14" iBook from that revision, and I'm at 87 percent. Considering that the batteries are supposed to last a year and a half - so says Apple - so that should mean we should be closer to 75 percent.

They were not set aside for reservation. I walked in at 11:00 when they opened and the guy said they never received shipment, so.... they started taking reservations.
Doesn't mean they didn't have any already.

that is a load. First off the original ipad is hardly 'old tech'. It is still very usable by the right folks. Say little kids that want to play games, granny that just wants it for email, the whole "teach for america" thing.
'Old tech' would be trying to sell a G4 with a PPC processor in the now every entrenched Intel age. There's pretty much no 3rd software supporting it, Mac OS 10.5 is the highest you can take that, etc
I know that the first iPad is not "old tech"; but was a light hearted exchange about selling the old iPad to my BF who is thinking about the iPad....

The only time a full version is needed is when a new computer is purchased and then the price for Vista is completely different because of the OEM pricing by the vendor.
Not so much "different" as hidden from the ultimate consumer.
I think you're also forgetting that the current version of OSX is included with every Mac.

Nope. Probably not even close. The Air doesn't have the processors or graphics required for even the current version
1GB of RAM, 2GB recommended, 4GB for uncompressed HD.
ATI or Nvidia graphics processor.

Maxed out Air matches that, hell, low end Air matches that. I'm not saying it will be fast, because it will be deathly slow. But it'll run.

The same washington post blog mentions in the next article that the default ("built-in") wireless cards in the macbook have the same flaw. So this is a bit bigger deal than a few odd people using external cards...

Sorry, but for me this story doesn't pass the sniff test.
Since it's a page 2 story, I think the editors think the same.
Great PR story if true...
I think it's actually true. It just seemed more casual/fluffy than our usual front page stories, which is why it got to page 2.

Actually, I had recently purchased an iPad 1 last week and the wife was also upset. I did return it, but not really to make her happy-it was to make ME happy. Number 1: it was only a 16GB, and number 2: I like the iPad 2 much better.
Plus, I have the credit to buy one, but no job. And since I didn't need it, that helped make my decision.
But, AT&T had the 64GB wifi and 3G for $529...sooooo tempted!:o

Again as I stated before... Apple is really starting to dabble in the 3D interface. The album art is a good example of this. Granted its a rip off of someone else's idea...No idea of the name of the app but I was playing around with it a few months back that did exactly this. *shrugs* Whatever.
As has been stated a million times today already, Apple bought out CoverFlow, they didn't rip anybody off.

I like the "Job's Pulling Technique" - whip out iPod, insert ear-buds into lasses ear, adopt hopeful grin and hope she doesn't slap you!
Sounds like a typical weekend night-out in a valley's town. Sans iPod, of course.

I ordered a 20" iMac a couple of weeks ago, but it hadn't been dispatched yet (in fact, it was due to be dispatched today). The Apple order status site was down earlier, until just after the Apple Store came back up with the new iMacs, and lo and behold, my order has been replaced with a 20" iMac Core 2 Duo!
They've even upgraded the RAM to 2GB (I'd paid for an upgrade to 1GB on the original order), and dropped the price I pay!
So top marks to Apple - a brand new iMac, specced higher than the original, for �80 less! I don't know many other manufacturers that would do this - it's the kind of service that keeps Apple customers loyal.
The only downside is, I was expecting it to be delivered on Friday but now I have to wait until the 19th! But really, I don't mind!

That reads rather oddly.
Perhaps this can clear this up for you.
Let's return to the article (http://mondediplo.com/2008/02/05military) from La Monde Diplomatique...
In an important exegesis on Melman’s relevance to the current American economic situation, Thomas Woods writes: “According to the US Department of Defense, during the four decades from 1947 through 1987 it used (in 1982 dollars) $7.62 trillion in capital resources. In 1985, the Department of Commerce estimated the value of the nation’s plant and equipment, and infrastructure, at just over _$7.29 trillion… The amount spent over that period could have doubled the American capital stock or modernized and replaced its existing stock”
The fact that we did not modernise or replace our capital assets is one of the main reasons why, by the turn of the 21st century, our manufacturing base had all but evaporated. Machine tools, an industry on which Melman was an authority, are a particularly important symptom. In November 1968, a five-year inventory disclosed “that 64% of the metalworking machine tools used in US industry were 10 years old or older. The age of this industrial equipment (drills, lathes, etc.) marks the United States’ machine tool stock as the oldest among all major industrial nations, and it marks the continuation of a deterioration process that began with the end of the second world war. This deterioration at the base of the industrial system certifies to the continuous debilitating and depleting effect that the military use of capital and research and development talent has had on American industry.”
I believe this helps to explain what is meant by "diverts resources from productive uses, such as consumption and investment".
