So i just got done taking the second hard drive out of my eMac (Traded out and Optical Drive for a HDD for Time Machine some months ago). Well, i remember that "some months ago" i accidentally ripped the out shell off with no regards to the power switch and it still works, though its less sensitive now, or the time (wait, actually same time) when i kinda "broke" the video connector plastic casing that goes from the CRT Board to the Logic Board, a little of some crazy glue or whathaveyou and i managed to fix my way out of that one too. Combine these experiences with that of my first, err second gen iMac G3 (Same bondi blue, yet no infer red sensor) I even tried to over clock it with my late father's help to no avail, but we were able to undo the over clock and that Mac too is still working. But the real reason for all this is to reminisce on how reliable these older Machines are. Currently, my eMac has made it's way to my Mother's desk as i work on her compaq craptop. Today when i took it apart to remove the time machine drive, after reassembly it wouldn't start. Now usually i'd freak out but after learning all the above, and even some more undocumented instances where i messed up, i learned you need patience. These Mac's just don't seem to Quit working. I've had it to where my iMac wouldn't start, and i changed outlets, and even power cords which solved these issues. Thats why these little guys can be temperamental! Jwhathaveyouust today i had to disassemble, make sure a couple things were fastened (Which i basically just unplugged afew wires and replugged em' in) and then reassemble my eMac. I know I can't be the only one - so feel free to share your story! I love these older machines, they're the most reliable even compared to my new pc (I've had more problems with my new pc than my 5 year old mac) and although they can be temperamental, they never seem to quit.

Yes, it is. Just create a HFS+ partition and install Lion there.
Mwahaha... brilliant. Thanks!

I am shocked to see how popular these are becoming. Personally if I got one it would only be an addition to my computers not a replacement for my MBP. Like having the optical drive at my leisure and the better computing power. But then again I do working the IT field. I could easily see how they meet the average consumers needs. None the less I want one.

What?
You're kidding me.
I'm sorry, I can see making the compromise of having only a touch screen for the iphone as it is more portable than the handheld games so you get advantages too with the iphone (you already are carrying it cause it's your phone as well, it's smaller and therefore more portable, the games are already loaded so no trying to either carry all the cartridges or pick what games you bring. Makes up for the lack of physical buttons).
But no way would I pick an iPad over a console for at home play.
1. The compromise of not as good controller for what advantage does the ipod have over a console? I'm not worried about portability with a console so that doesn't make up for it. So what advantage does an ipad have over a console that would get people to pick it for playing games over the console? The only advantage I could see is if you already owned the ipad. Even then I think I'd rather just buy the console extra. For me if I had to choose between the two, I'd pick the console. I already have a laptop that if I had to carry something ipad around I'd rather have the laptop, I have my iphone for being with me everywhere, and a console will have better games and a better gaming experience (real controllers anyone? Games made for it are specifically aimed at people who bought the thing to play games). And even if I had an ipad, I'd still want either the Sony Playstation or the Microsoft Xbox for actual playing of more serious type games.
2. The compromise of the games just aren't as good. Sorry, but no game on the iphone/ipad compares to the stuff they make on consoles. You're still getting the compromise of making the game more for a handheld market so it's not as complex/in depth. I'd bet the games on the new Sony handheld coming out are much closer to console quality (cause that is what htey seem to be specifically aiming the device at). Plus it has buttons!!!! I'd pick that over an ipad for trying to replace my console.
Sorry, but until they make dedicated controllers for game playing for the ipad (and not touch based only ones, gotta have buttons too and a joystick) and attract more serious type games comparable to what you see on the consoles, I don't see the ipad being a big rival to consoles.
The advantage it that it's the closes thing to an Apple console out there. It might not have the same games as the X Box and PS3, but it's like an Apple console. How cool is that. It's like the spending the whole day playing an Apple console. The thought should get your bacon sizzling.

Yes, how did you work that out? I've been in Australia for months and I've pleaded with Rogers to unlock my phone while I'm here. They refuse to do it unless I pay $400 to end my contract and another $100 for the unlock. I've been using Rogers for over 8 years and they still won't help me out.
Never again will I use another Rogers service after this whole fiasco. They are a bunch of jerks.
They seem to be better than AT&T here in USA, :p, at least you have the option of an official unlock.

I'm curious about those who gave this news a negative review?? Are they not for resolution independence? An upgrade to openGL apps behavior? QT?
I assume that QT being 64bit will rock the encoding times for h264... woohoo.
Good news. Nothing gigantic, but good news.

"nothing gigantic" is my bet for negative votes. A few are against resolution independene, but with any software update or release of a rumored product, negatives come from people who thought it should be more.

I'd like to read that if anyone can find it.
Ya some guys brought a big party tent and had two projectors in it. One had XBOX 360 and the other Sportscenter. They also brought a barbecue and made everyone pork and bacon and other stuff. They were awesome.
I'm guessing you didn't get an iPad that day, correct?
I did get one! I was one of the last people. Maybe 50 people behind me by the time I got up there.
I got the Black 32GB Wifi. They ran out of about half the models by the time I got there. This model was my seconds choice, but it's an upgrade from the 16GB Black Wifi model that I was planning to get :D

I like it. One thing that you might consider changing is set the default for both applications to more info. It took me a second (could just that be I'm slow) to figure out what was going on. Nice clean look though. Reminds me of Apple design. ;)

How about we reserve our comments on usability, interface and one-handed-ness until we see a demo... or a freaking production model for that matter.
sheesh. You all talk like you've used it.

P.S. SiliconAddict: the above comments are not made solely at you.
Right. Someone finds a patent filing, which only has to describe the patent with sufficient detail to gain acceptance, and many folk are conjecturing the final product. For general discussion that is great, and a reason to interact on forums like this one. However, I cringe when I read people's visceral response to something that does not even exist yet.

I guess when you line up might depend on what model you want. Example; 16GB wifi will go out fast but they probably have more in stock..
I don't need one friday, but I'm wondering if friday night or saturday morning they'll still have a 16GB Verizon model and how long the wait would be to get in and purchase one.
Has anyone called the store to ask details of the launch?

I went to the Apple Store today to get my iPhone 4 replaced due to a yellow screen issue. I showed it to a employee at the Genius Bar. I had a password set and forgot to unlock it for her. The lady didn't ask me for my password, she just simply typed in a 4 digit number. The number went "95??" I didn't see the last two digits. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Anyone want to try and figure out what the passcode is
I don't believe you. You'll have to present some actual evidence. It actually sounds like you're desparate for attention.
Good luck.

I think it's wise of Steve not to overuse the "one more thing..." bit. Any other CEO would haul out that line until it gets done to death, but Steve saves it for something special. And that's what I like about it. We Mac geeks know that the next time his Steveness utters the phrase, we will get something fantastic to go along with our nerdgasms.

Changing the order of the networks so that the private network is first in System Preferences should be enough. I used to have a similar setup, and I'm pretty sure that's all I did.

Anyone getting "There was a network error" message when opening the app? It's been doing it on my iphone and ipad since last night. I can go to their website and listen online fine.
I just checked and it works fine on my iPhone4.

Has it been four years already?
I had dropped off my oldest at school, and was on my way to drop off my then youngest at daycare. I decided to turn on the radio and found out that the first tower was on fire. What a horrible day that I'll never forget.

If you are going for 2TB drives, the WD Caviar Green drives are among the favorites. It's been reported they have some issues regarding the high load cycle counts (http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&xhr=t&q=WD%20caviar%20green%20high%20load%20cycle%20count&cp=10&pq=wd%20green%20high%20load%20cycle%20count&pf=p&sclient=psy&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=WD+caviar+green+high+load+cycle+count&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=6cbe03e6833a46ef) due to the firmware...

It's a bit of work, but the high load cycle counts due to excessive head parking can be prevented.
