I am just going to wait, I know if I get an iphone 4 now then in 4-6 months the iphone 5 comes out I will be kicking myself. Its just like I couldnt wait a few months for the 3gs when I got the iphone 3g. I was kicking myself.
I think I am going to wait to. Kicking myself also....

Any chance of full change log? Haha guess that's too much to ask......
I wouldn't expect a 'full changelog' from Apple given it isn't something that they really do - to the disappointment of many unfortunately.
Still no Verizon version?
Seems like Verizon isn't getting the love as AT&T is getting. :cool:
I'd say that Verizon maybe blocking the update because they want to make sure that all hell doesn't break loose once it is released. It would be interesting to see what the justification is, maybe 5.0 will be the 'big change' for iOS on AT&T and Verizon phones?
I hate how you have to download the entire OS every time there's a small update like this. 666MB for a few bug fixes... Also, what's up with the 666MB? Maybe we should stay away from this update guys lol.
This has been a problem ever since the App Store appeared to; on the Mac one is told to re-download a 4GB application for a few piddly updates in much the same way one is forced to re-download the whole operating system. I do wonder what their rational actually is - when they recompile the whole operating system they're unable to create a piecemeal patch (difference between the new version and old version)? That when they update one thing there is an ABI change that requires the whole thing to be re-installed?

Actually, I had recently purchased an iPad 1 last week and the wife was also upset. I did return it, but not really to make her happy-it was to make ME happy. Number 1: it was only a 16GB, and number 2: I like the iPad 2 much better.
Plus, I have the credit to buy one, but no job. And since I didn't need it, that helped make my decision.
But, AT&T had the 64GB wifi and 3G for $529...sooooo tempted!:o

I had my HeatSink replaced a few weeks ago. I'd had random shutdowns every few hours, to then every few minutes, to then within a minute of booting. I took the MacBook into the Stanford Apple Store & they immediately knew what the issue was. It sounded like they'd seen it a lot. They had it overnight & returned it. Problem seems to be totally gone.
Question though: it says that this firmware fix is even for people who've had their heatsinks replaced. That seems odd, doesn't it? Either they put a better (sized) heatsink in, or they didn't. I'm hesitant to mess with it again & install this "fix". It ain't broke!

I think there was a quote from Mozart, who obviously didn't know the Beatles, who didn't rank Jesus very high as a composer, but who put Bach ahead of Beethoven.
Are you sure about that?
Mozart died in 1791 and Beethoven's first compositions were not published until 1795. :confused:

I don't know what its worth, but looking at the Best Buy website I find that about half of the stores in my area (VA) are out of stock of the various models of 15 inch MBP and the 17 inch in on backorder. Is this a sign of a refresh ???
I'm ready to get my first MBP and the cash is burning a hole in my pocket !!

When I look at the graphic (http://developer.apple.com/wwdc/) for the 2011 WWDC, it makes me think that the 3D rumor may be accurate. Note the many 3D patents that Apple has been awarded over the past couple of years for precisely this type of thing. And the fact that Apple has used their graphics on prior occasions to tease what would be revealed at the event - most recently, for the iPad2 and how they teased the SmartCover...
I dont know if 3D is dependent on hardware (most of Apples products have front facing cameras at this point at least), or if it can be driven by software alone on existing devices.
Thoughts?
If you're going to take a 3D picture, the best way to do it would be to use two cameras separated by a distance approximating the space in between your eyes. Both cameras take a picture at the same time. You now have two images taken at slightly different angles and after superimposing them, you get a 3D image.
If you want to display that image (or any 3D movie) without glasses, you need a lenticular screen, which would take the two images and using refraction, direct one image to the left eye and the other image to the right eye. This is what the Nintendo 3DS screen does.
So yeah, 3D is hardware dependent. To take a 3D picture/video, you'd need 2 cameras instead of 1. You'd also need a lenticular screen. And this is why I think the 3D rumor is BS: the iPad is made to be used in either portrait or landscape mode.
Once you rotate the iPad 90 degrees, the horizontally spaced cameras are now vertically spaced and no longer work. Which means you'd need to add a third camera. This means a 3D iPad would have 6 cameras built in - 3 on the front and 3 on the back. That's a lot of redesign and I doubt they have enough space to cram 6 cameras in the unit.
On top of that, once you rotate the iPad 90 degrees, the lenticular screen is no longer refracting images to your left and right eye - now they're going up and down so the 3D image doesn't work. I'm guessing it's possible to have a screen that refracts images in 4 directions but I don't think a screen like that has been invented yet.
Just my two cents

A little fill flash to get a catchlight in the eye and this would be perfect.

Its a heavy crop as he was very far. Too far for fill flash to have any effect unfortunatally.

How are going about mounting the powerbrick behind the desk? I would like mine off my desk aswell.
Well, I just did it, I used green strip putty (I can't remember the name), looks like this only a pine-green
http://www.barrule.com/Workshop/images/products/sylmasta/DURO.gif
I mounted it to the back of the desk, worked really well, just take 2 very small (half inch or so) peices and stick it on. It cleans up pretty easily off plastic, just don't try putting it on dry wall or plaster. (Hence, why I put it on the back of the desk, it wont come off very well, but who looks at the back of the desk?)

I had a small kernel of hope that they'd ditch the integrated GPU, but I sort of knew it wouldn't happen...
Still, this is a very nice machine, probaby the best iBook ever. The C2D is so powerful compared to the G4 it's mind boggling.

The thing that's frustrated me with Apple is the long wait for even minor product updates. The Merom update across the line should be a no brainer especially since the chip is more efficient and is easy to implement. Almost every other manufacturer announced Merom laptops already. Knowing Apple though, they'll just drag it out without mercy and only do the Merom updates in January for Macworld. In the meantime, we'll all be wondering if perhaps next week would be the right time to buy a new notebook because of some hot new rumor. Very frustrating. Now that Apple has switched to Intel, why not do chip updates without the fanfare that accompanied the minor PowerPC updates? :rolleyes:
What long wait? Merom was just introduced last week, and nobody is shipping computers with Merom yet. Apple is moving away from just doing product refreshes at MWSF. In order to maximize media exposure, Apple has recently been upgrading a few products at a time (usually 2-3), but avoids introducing something on the same day as another manufacturer.
Apple will introduce Merom-based products this month, you can count on it.
After all, when was the last time AppleInsider and ThinkSecret agreed on anything? ;)

Man, Apple keeps getting lower and lower. First Walmart, now this?
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.

For the people who thinks that Vista is too expensive:
Mac users: Spend more $ on hardware. Spend less $ on software.
Windows users: Spend more $ on software. Spend less $ on hardware.
What a shock the computing industry works both ways. :eek:

So why not fit the Proven iPhone4 cameras in the iPad then?
The cost had been ramped down due to the camera being out virtually a year, so it's all done and dusted and just needed fitting.
Price wise about $5 dollars more.
I can't see any real reason to hold it back apart from a deliberate ploy to fit something bad to give people a strong reason to upgrade to iPad3.
Unless there are negatives in doing so, Price, Weight etc? Why deliberately fit something bad?
Availability?
With the millions of these the iphone takes maybe adding the millions the ipad2 would use is beyond the current capacity of their manufacturers?
Or, if production capacity would have meant to introduce the ipad2 later, they used what was available at the time.
As for $ 5 more, multiply that with the amount of devices they make and it's millions of dollars. In any company a net cost of $ 5 doesn't stay that way. It gets multiplied up to retail.
Deliberate ploy, don't think so. But, since we both don't have any proof..........

Think you're imagining it. Have updated my MB and i still can't hear the fan in normal usage. I expect it will kick in at some time when it decides things are getting a bit hot.
The way I was able to make my fans kick in was to run the rss tester from http://www.macbookrandomshutdown.com/
Download and run the tester and it maxes out CPU cycles, before my mac would just shut off within 1-2 sec. Now the fans come on.

What level of military interventions should the US take in the Republic of Congo?
What has been asked for and what we are providing is a no fly zone, which seems like the appropriate amount of military intervention.
If the people of Libya want Gaddafi out than it seems like air support keeping any heavy weapons he can buy subdued should probably be enough.

The wait is killing me and my MacBook. My poor machine is dying slowly and painfully. The palmrest has chipped again, the processor is burned out, the fans are loudly overturning to try and keep the processor from overheating only to fail when the processor gets to 87� and the computer shuts itself down to save itself from burning up. The battery "needs servicing". It's a mess. I have waited patiently for a new machine, and will wait patiently for a little while more, but I really hope they come soon.
I have $1100 coming to me from the government. I want to give it to you, Apple. Just release them new machines!
It sounds like you are brutally hard on your MacBook ....
Also, that $1100 is actually your money that you let the government hold for you all year long and earn interest on it. If you were smart, you would adjust your withholding and keep that money in your pocket. =)
