If someone clings to the hood of my car I'm not supposed to drive away?
If someone holds on to the hood of my car, he better hold on tight.
I do think it's unreasonable to be FORCED to stop because someone is deliberately trying to get you to stop by hanging onto you car. If you do stop, they win. Why would you let them win so easily?

Hi Guys,
I wanted to get your opinions on something.
Recently, Apple added a whole bunch of free online seminars on it's seminars page (you can get there from the Hot News page).
In a number of the seminar descriptions, they speak about the "awesome power" of the "Power Mac G5 Quad" (which is true), and they keep calling it "new" on more than one occasion (it's close to a year old now).
This is interested to me since there's speculation that the "Mac Pro" will be unveiled at the WWDC (hoping). The release of these seminars, and the fact that they promote the quad and call it "new", means that:
a) They're desperately trying to sell as many of these machines as possible because they haven't sold enough of them and before their Intel counterparts are released, and/or,
b) The new "Mac Pro" quad will not be coming out until the year end - perhaps only a mid-range "Mac Pro" will be unveiled @ the WWDC.
What do you guys think?
Regards,
Filmguy

Many folks on this forum seem to use and rely on iDVD. I'm in that group.
I know that the world is much larger than this forum, and therefore the percentage of iDVD users to all Mac users is in fact very small. But...
If Apple does drop iDVD it will be another example of blantant disregard for customer's requests.
This may be obvious for many, but for me, it will be the final confirmation that Apple has moved on from the "digital hub" strategy of 1998 - 2007.
Remember when they made all this cool software to help sell Macs? With iPhone and iPad success this is simply not required any more.

If you want to solve that problem join the club. Norway has freely chosen to not be part of the EU, and has to live with the consequences of that. That companies insist on Norway following EU rules before they'll do business with them isn't the EU's fault.
norway is not alone in "we aren't a EU member but because for economic reason we still have follow most of their rules", see also: Switzerland alignes quite a bit their newer laws to EU practices and also plays a rather active role in Brussels for it's official "observer" status
it goes even so far already that a few days ago on swiss television, during an ad, a product was advertized with a euro price tag. i sat there a little bit puzzled

With such a great delay the XServes are coming at the same time Intel will release the first Quad-Core Clovertown CPUs.
Is Apple delaying so much in order to ship the XServe with Clovertown instead of Woodcrest?
I doubt that is the case since they announced the delay and then started taking preorders. I guess it's possible but why bother taking preorders. If they were waiting they would probably say something to get more orders.

Oh please. word opens in like less than a second and I only have a core duo and 1.5gbs of ram.
A second? Are you sure it's not faster? Because it goes that fast for me and Im on an old G4 iMac....oh wait. This is rosetta we're talking about. Even still, I'd imagine it's MUCH faster for you guys with your Intel iMacs, even if rosetta is a factor.

I'm a little surprised apple didn't see something like this coming.
Any sort of stored db on the phone with what looks like location data was bound to make some people scared.
Even if the data is just the wifi hot spot/cel tower data, you can't trust your average joe schmo 'wannabee' techie to really understand what he is looking at.
I am glad that apple is acknowledging that educating people is the answer here.

hasn't every new OS be revolutionary?Not in my opinion. I think each OS release has been evolutionary, but not revolutionary.

I'd be all for something like this. Normal 3D displays are useless to me, I have an eye condition that doesn't allow me to see 3D. So I should at least have SOME 3D fun.
I'll second that. I am also what they now call as having "3D Blindness" where I cannot see 3D effect with glasses. This may prove to be the better way to provide 3D effect where "everyone" can experience it. Current 3D tech using glasses leaves out a good percentage of the population. Plus, no need for glasses is an advantage in itself.

Because so much of the cost of a computer is the cost of the CPU? Of course not. Everyone can see there's more to an iMac than just the CPU.
Scrolling through some of your previous posts, I have to wonder why you bother with this site, you're never going to see something you like.
Well, it's not jut CPU. Apple will not tell you SKU for any of the components. All iMac components are regular PC components so if a buyer knew the part list s/he would make an educated decision and iMac would lose every time.

Except, Apple says that they actually do access the location database:
Glad someone actually read the press release unlike the rest of the idiots in this thread.

Suddenly because Nokia is transitioning into the smart phone market all the fanboys consider them to be a company on the verge of bankruptcy, even though they dominate the market in most countries.
Nokia has been in the smart phone market for a very long time.

By the way - I feel like a traitor running 3 (legit) copies of windows for a mac team, Ubuntu is still on some of the disks but not running on anything now. At least I have Mac OSX running on the Mac Pro with maybe another Mac Pro coming next year... sometime...

For the past week, the education-only iMac had been available to both qualified education individuals and institutions. There has been no official explanation from Apple on the quick change.

I really hope they have some kind of external storage for the 360.
As far as using the AppleTV for downloaded content, I agree. There are some problems on that end at the moment that is being worked out.
When I download Jericho I get screwed. I can watch it for free the night it comes out in 1080i but if I miss that episode I can either pay for less then DVD quality (appleTV) or pay for 720p (xbox360).

August 17, 2006 Cupertino, CA: In a surprise press release late this afternoon Apple Computer announced it's purchase of Lions Gate Films. Without delay, former President Steven Beeks was removed from his position placed in shackles, stripped to his boxer shorts and displayed prominently of the official "Apple Ridicule Platform" located conveniently in the parking lot at 1 Infinite Loop. Steve Jobs was unavailable for comment, but was seen laughing, choking down a small bowl of low calorie pescaterian chowder.
