Anyway, how are those LOVE CDs doing?:) Better on iTunes with some special extra tracks I would guess.:)

Anyone who was expecting more from this update was living in a bit of a dreamland. The MacBook design is the newest of all the form factors from Apple and from the sales figures they have no reason yet to think about changing it. Incremental updates are nice to see, price cuts are even nicer.
As for what we're now going to get at MacWorld. I think iTV, video iPod and BluRay will be the main talking points there, along with a small update across the range to support 802.11n. I don't think Leopard will be ready by January.
I am dissapointed that they did not upgrade the specs for the 1.83 model.
They managed to hold the price for the other models while upping RAM, HD and Superdrive to Double Layer. Why on earth have they not given them all 1Gig RAM throughout the line.
Yes, it drives people to buy the 2.0 model and YES it drives away the others that are not prepared to spend this extra 200$....

The current iPod is 4.1 x 2.4 inches. A mass market paperback -- which ain't big -- is roughy 7.1 x 4.3 inches, which is almost twice as large as an iPod. Most eBook devices are the size of a mass market paperback or larger. Portable DVD/DVR players are also typically larger than the iPod enclosure.
I am all for a wide format iPod where the screen is the thing, but I'm not sure I want to read a book (or watch movies) on it if it's going to be the same size as the current iPod enclosure.
I suspect it will be larger.

perhaps the negotiating is FREE 3G downloads. if it is coming from Apple, as an iOS update there is no charge (for downloaded data).

Is it just me, or does the new iTunes logo look horrible in the dock? It doesnt seem to match anything, and it just doesnt look as "clean" as the typical dock logos have been/should be. When i went to click iTunes for the first time and it changed from the nice/clean green logo to this blue cheesy looking 1995 icon, I was pretty surprised!
it doesn't look right to me. The icon seems HUGE, it seems like the used every single pixel available to them while other icons were allowed to breathe.
Check it..

So...
The statements by the "Mac"
"I'll be fine" &
"PCs, not Macs"
Constitutes a "challenge to the hacker community"??!
:rolleyes:
Whatever.

Now I'm two updates behind on my iPhone, because I'm still waiting for the 4.3 Jailbreak. Oh well. Nothing too important in this update. I also won't be updating my iPad, because the jailbreak for 4.3 hasn't been released yet either.

The iPod has helped to bring music back into my life in a really meaningful way.
Amen. QFT.
The iPod not only got me to start listening to all my old music again, but actually got me to start buying music again (both new and old). I used to buy 2-3 CDs/month and now I'm almost back to that peak level...

Battery life? Not saying it isn't worth it to you. Just saying, there are trade offs (which you are well aware of, most likely).
None that I'm aware of... my battery is getting pretty old now, but in the beginning I was getting 3 to 4 hours out of it on average.
This was the same as I was getting when it was running Vista Home Premium.
Power management has been pretty decent on the Dell from 10.6.2 on up to 10.6.6.
Down to about 2 hours now. This is due to an old and very heavily used battery over the last 3 years. Battery meter is already telling me to replace the battery due to low battery life.
I'll just buy another laptop since a new battery costs about half the price of a new laptop.
Battery Life, build quality, customer support...all big things.
Build quality on my 1525 is on par with many Apple products I've owned.
Battery life is similar. Remember, Apple and Dell get their batteries from the same manufacturer. ;)
And Dell support for their hardware is top notch.
When the track pad went out on mine they replaced it with no questions asked. If it's still in the warranty period, Dell will fix it regardless of what OS you're running. They will simply run a hardware diag to see if it's a legitimate hardware failure. If yes, the defective part is replaced.

Britain is very class based, and is probably racist too. Black people here are generally poor and don't do particularly well at school as well.
It's Highly exaggerated the racism amongst Brits, just go to Italy or Spain or eastern Europe where racism against Blacks and non Whites is truly visible. In fact, I actually believe Britain is one of the very few countries that welcomes Black people as well as they do.
By the way, isn't it quite ironical how little racism against whites is highlighted? For example, I know in western Africa They don't particular welcome white people, Which is why many white French who live there have been killed or attacked.

Second.
Although... it could have just been fans who already owned pirated copies deciding that they liked the Beatles so much that they should legally download it.
I do that sometimes if I like something a lot and regret having pirated it.
So, if you steal something from the store, and feel guilty about it later, do you sneak in and try to put it back on the shelf? Just curious.

So we're supposed to go broke maintaining a bloated military to protect corporate interests abroad?
How insane is that?! :eek:

who cares? dell's are cheap enough that you can buy a 15" model every year and after 3 years still spend less $$$ than a MBP with Apple Care
So that's how Dell has been staying a float by selling you a 15" model every year. :p

The security-through-obscurity myth of OS X has long been debunked. Do you know what the most used computer OS in the world is? Linux. And there are very, very few viruses for linux.
The rampant virus ecosystem is a flaw in Windows, not an inherent fact of all operating systems.
Macs have a decent market share and a very large mindshare, but yet are still virus free (though there have been a couple trojans that fizzled out).

From reading these and other forums for years we know how many Mac/Apple haters there are out there. Don't you think if they could create viruses etc. for Macs to make them look bad they would!!!???
