Either they abuse their phones or are a member of the new generation who think that if a phone is 2 years old, it's on it's "last leg".
I told a friend of mine today who is thinking about buying the iPhone 4 but is worried about all this "outdated technology" talk that if he does and still has the phone 3 or 4 years from now, he'll still have a great phone.
1. My 3GS is starting to have radio reception issues. I don't pick up the 3G network most of the time now, and I've had to switch back to EDGE only in order to avoid the "Searching..." and "No Service."
It's not inconceivable for phones to have parts that stop working after two years of consistent use.
2. The iPhone 4 will be outdated tech by this time next year. Apple drops support for older models as they go, either with key features of iOS upgrades or the entire software suite. It'll lack access to LTE, which will mean certain apps will run poorly or not at all, and it'll almost certainly be prevented from running some software that gets designed over the next year for the iPad 2 and new iPhone 4S processor.
But, whatever -- keep giving your friend baseless advice.

I know he wants a tv in the front lobby but I think he wants to be able to choose between the tv audio or music up there. In the back he wants to be able to play pandora from one of the macs to all the individual rooms with a volume control in each room. I believe this is new construction so there is nothing existing to go from.
Thanks for the help.

I like the mba, but they are so god awful slow. Maybe im just used to fast computers but no way i could use current gen of mba. Maybe next time but 6 year old tech is a bit to old for me.
The NVIDIA 320m isn't "6 year old tech." Nor are the Toshiba SSD, HD screen, glass trackpad, or OS X 10.6. Get past the mindset that the CPU defines the computer and you'll see that the MacBook Air is a modern device. That said, I would like to see Thunderbolt in the next revision, and undoubtedly it will get Sandy Bridge sometime this year.

Anyone else going to buy this on the 16th? I can't wait... first Rammstein album in 4 years!
And the last one ever apparently.

How about plug the ethernet straight into the iMac?
Seems really odd that both the TC and Express would have this problem at exactly the same time.
Maybe give Apple a call.

Just ordered a refurbished 11 inch MBA (1.6 C2D/4gb) and a portable 1TB external hdd for my upcoming deployment to Afghanistan. I'll be lugging around enough gear as it is, so my 2.5 year old heavy MBP is going on Ebay!

That's all fine and well, but I just want a version that doesn't require X11 and can print.
Hmm ... can't see where you're coming from there. Prints for me and for a few other people I know.
I might give this a crack for a playabout.

In related news why does anybody button a shirt all the way without a tie?
This freaked me out also. It's an odd one.

Ask me that question when they add it the MacBook Air.
Well that maybe quite some time. Wait on...

My neighbors cousin died in the attack. Her boss (president of the company) took the day off (pretending to be sick). Everyone else in the company was at work, which was around 30 people. All of the people that worked there died except for the president. As you can imagine, the man is now an emotional wreck.
Another one one of my neighbors worked in the 2nd trade tower. He was on the 6x floor and started to leave when he saw the first plane crash. When he was leaving the 2nd tower got hit. He ran out to the bottom and escaped with a few other people in a UPS truck.
My brother-in-law was talking to a guy that worked on the 7x floor of the 1st tower that got hit on the phone. They were talking and then all of a sudden there was a big crash and the line went dead. The guy did not make it.
I could go on with a bunch of stories, I was practically there, but I'll stop. To sum it up it was horrific. Seeing the people running out of the building, some of them hurt, knowing there were many hundreds of people still inside, and a bunch of people on the two planes that hit.

my 3GS is having more and more issues. battery life goes down, touchscreen is getting less responsive/less precise. I hope it holds up for a while.
If not I can get either:
- the rumored white iPhone 4 end of April
- the rumored iPhone 5 end of September
- the rumored iPhone 6 in 2012
nice, every few month a rumored replacement for my 3GS:rolleyes:
I just bought an iphone 4 on Saturday. My mute button was broken, I didn't feel like getting it fixed and didn't want to wait until September for 5. Not regretting it at all! I plan on selling the 4 in the future, but might just wait for Iphone 6 in 2012 now. That's what I would recommend anyone doing who has a 3GS dying

Aquaria got pretty much universal rave reviews. It's really cool to see a bigger indie on the Mac side pick up a gaming indie's game from the PC side.

sorry, but does anyone have any idea as to what i should list this whole package for?
mac2 sell only does the computer itself...
If I read mac2sell right the mini is worth $620. Plus $80 for KB, throw in mouse. That's $700. You might find iwork on ebay for $50 but I'm not sure if most buyers care. Maybe $750 shipped?

Actually I have 3 T-Mobile phones, each has GPS for use in E-911. Its a new federally mandated requirement.
No, it isn't, and they may have GPS but that's a coincidence and I can tell you flat out that T-Mobile does not use GPS to locate your phone.
The Federally Mandated Requirement is that the mobile operator is able to locate your position. The technology they use is up to them. GSM operators do it via triangulation. E911 is supposed to work regardless of how old the phone is that you're using. Do you think your 1980s Motorola brick AMPS phone has a GPS receiver in it?

I believe that was suppose to be yesterday, not today...
Today there are multiple sources that now claim 4.3.1 should be out in two weeks or less, and that Apple has fixed the hole in the iPad2!
So, its supprising how these 'sources', know just what hole comex used. And know that apple fixed that hole...

Does it have a self-assigned IP when it drops out?
If so, try renaming your wireless network. This has fixed this issue a number of times for me recently.

I agree with many of your points, except for the mindless drone remark. Yes you are not, but to imply that others who differ with you is uncalled for.

Leo, point noted.
i didn't mean that everyone who buys apple products is a mindless drone. i just meant Apple is treating many of their customer base this way.
it is just strange when Apple used to be much more of a consumer oriented company and the underdog, now it seems to be more monopolistic than Microsoft during the MS heyday.

You'll need Keynote (http://www.apple.com/iwork/keynote/) to play those powerpoint presentations. Keynote can handle .ppt files natively, there is no need to convert them.

Yep just got it. and this is exactly what I was talking about in my earlier posts. they are filtering it out on the backend and killed access to version 1.0 from the servers. Now I remember why and how much I hate cablevision
Damn useless limitations and whining networks stupid providers. I really hope all of them go down the flames with their idiotic restrictions and limitations
