It's all fun and games until someone wakes up with a dead horse head in their bed.
But seriously... $9.99 to $12.99 movie downloads when I can go over to any store (like, oh, say, Wal-Mart) and buy the real deal for a buck or two more? Just how in God's name is this a threat to them?! Wal-Mart's smartest move would be to drop their DVD prices by that buck or two, until they cost the SAME or LESS than online downloads.

Only because people are dumb and think that they always need to be using the best computer. Hate to break it, but the MacBook isn't the best.
so are you saying that if someone wants a macbook right now, is to go out and buy one this instant? Even though it's 6 months old and the price hasn't dropped?

well I think an upgrade to C2D is significant (to me at least) and for my pocket - I was always going to have to get 1gig RAM and pay extra for it - now I don't have to spend that money - it comes stock
The slight bump in stock HD offerings isn't a want of mine - but is nice.
Primarily I'm excited about this revision - as it is a revision and hopefully will have less issues than the problematic-appearing revA MB.
If you plan to upgrade the RAM anyhow - go for the 2.0 model. It has Superdrive (DL), 1 Gig RAM, 4 MB Processor cache (instead of 2MB for the 1.83) and bigger HD.
The 1.83 Model is CRAP :eek:

Well, yes and no. The title of the page reads 'Core 2 Duo'. The page also states it's available to pre order, with a release date of the 13th.
Sure, but it has obviously nothing to do with the specs of the new macbook.

Are you satisfied with your Beats by Dre ?
I wasn't the original poster, but I've got a pair of these too and love them. The sound is phenomenal, however I have a big head (apparently) and they are a little tight.

So, I guess that's when Apple will officially announce that leaked huge glass trackpad accessory then. Not sure why the iMac though, seems like it makes more sense to put iOS into the Macbook/MBA as an instant-on OS dual-booting with regular OS X.

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.
Thats fine and good - my only point was that I couldn't believe Apple was allowing this. They are very protective of their image and allowing Radio Shack to REQUIRE applecare and a case probably won't sit well with customers. This is why I think it is store managers or maybe regional managers pushing this? I would have to say I would really be surprised if Apple knew this and allowed it. I mean it's not like Apple needs Radio Shack here. It's more the other way around.

So do you have to be connected to an unknown network (like in a coffee shop or bookstore) for this to work?
I'm actually not in the city, so I don't have anyone around me that would be close enough to connect. Could it still work though? :confused:

and P.S. - Apple, your laptop line is already to expensive. :eek: Don't release a consumer product that only rich companies can buy. :(
Wow, I'm a rich company? And all this time I was thinking I'm a poor art school graduate! Gee, I wonder if I qualify for corporate welfare? I mean, I've bought MBP's and PowerBooks since they first came out...

What did they ban and why?
They banned songs like Lucy in the Sky and Ticket to Ride... (not to mention Metallica's Seek and Destroy) because the songs reminded people of the event.

I really don't get all of those who constantly are saying things like "Don't care for them, they were before my time . . . " or "They're so old, they're not relevant . . .", etc. Really? I just don't get it. Monet, Davinci, Bach, Cole Porter, Sonny Boy Williamson, Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday and Charlie Parker were all before my time, yet I appreciate them. Having an artist being born before your time shouldn't have anything to do with "appreciating" them. That's the whole point - art is timeless. I' guess it has to do with how you grew up and what you were exposed to that makes a difference.
All kinds of music was being played in my house when I grew up. My dad played primarily four kinds of music in our house: classical, tango, opera and jazz and I got exposed to all of them - everyday. But all kinds of music would be played, not just these four kinds. While the Beatles were not one of the groups constantly being played on my dad's Hi-Fi, my parents did appreciate them and would play them on the radio once in a while, just to expose us kids to them. This, I believe, is one reason I listen to ALL kinds of music today. Not only do I listen to the classics, but also to many current and obscure artists of today. And I am doing the same with my son. He is exposed to all facets of music and art and has a great appreciation of all kinds of music. And you know who's his favorite? Louis Prima. My son's 6 years old and he couldn't care one bit when Louis was born. Not one bit. My dad would be proud.

Except China is like a plague of locusts consuming raw materials. All of the coal, petroleum, steel, concrete, etc. they are importing is coming from somewhere else, and procuring these things has negative environmental impact for where they�re sourced.
Because before China, no other country in the world with factories EVER sourced raw materials from other countries.
If countries in Africa, the Middle East, and elsewhere weren't mining, growing, and extracting materials for factories in China, they'd be sourcing materials for factories in India, America, Europe, South Asia, Japan, Korea, or elsewhere. Unfortunately these countries tend to have weak or corrupt governments that don't care about environmental degradation or can't do anything meaningful about it.
Maybe countries with factories that source raw materials from other countries have a responsibility to help those other countries develop mechanisms to protect their environment. But I've yet to see this happen on a meaningful scale anywhere.

Well it sounds like Apple wants to release all of their iOS devices (the iPad, iPod and iPhone) at the same time, a month or two before christmas, and a month or two after their new iOS release.
That way, they can make everything uniform.
There is no advantage to Apple to do this. In fact it would be a huge disadvantage:
1) they would become a "black friday" company where the majority of their profit and cash flow comes from one quarter of the year;
2) they would have to hire more engineers as they wouldn't be able to shift them from other less pressing projects as they do now b/c everything would be shipping in the same time frame;
3) there would be less PR "boom" throughout the year because Apple would basically blow its yearly product wad in the span of a couple months. Out of sight, out of mind. Apple needs to always been in people's head, waiting for the next big announcement. Don't want to kill the Big Mo.
What it sounds like is Apple doesn't want to release iPhone 5 this summer b/c what it really wants the iPhone 5 to be won't be ready and they are not going to rush to market like they did the iPhone 4. Lesson learned.

The closest apple store to my town (population 48k) is over a hour away - we have two radio shacks. How is this low? an elitist much? This is great! - Ipad 2's are the same price everywhere, except AAFES where its $10 cheaper and tax free. - Now many people can save their hard earned money as gas approaches $4 a gallon under this administration. Besides some people have radio shack credit cards -and earn rewards. They may prefer to buy from there.
Oh you poor people paying $4 a gallon � We pay over DOUBLE that in the UK.
I do agree with saving money where possible though , and I don't think it matters where you buy a product as long as you are happy!

Ya, it doesn't have a nice 'Apple' look to it.
This is a concept drawing I did a while back .... I'm hoping the Apple Phone is more like this ... but I doubt it.

You've obviously missed the most important part of these concepts! *Notes Steve Jobs' number*
I actually remember you mentioning that. I should have screen capped that post.

It looks like Apple got sick of the scratch complaints and went back to the Mini design. Odd that Apple would take a step back on the design front. Of course I always thought the Nanos were boring anyway, so maybe now this will give me an incentive to get one.
And let the "I have to pay how much extra for black" complaints begin...
