They already came out.
Perhaps he meant the C2D MBP's?
Store's back up. Doesn't look like there was an update to anything. Odd.

Redirect one of those to my door! Been waiting since 3/11.

Quite obviously you are not the target audience in your Ford Escape.
The original conversation was in reference to someone who drove a V10 Excursion. A vehicle that weighs 8,000lbs.
The Excursion hasn't been in production for a few years. Of course the Expedition and Suburban are still around, but there are actually people who need those types of vehicles. I am a single person so an Escape is all the SUV I need, but if I was married and had 4 or 5 kids then an Expedition, Sequoia, Tahoe or Suburban might make sense. My point was let people buy what they want to buy according to their needs. I would feel silly in a full-sized SUV by myself, but if I had a large family or needed the hauling capacity it would make sense. I don't see a lot of single people without families driving around in Excursions, Expeditions or Suburbans. In fact, out of all the people I know I can't say I know one who has one of those vehicles and doesn't have a family. Now I know a few single people with F-150's, but then again this is South Dakota and people love their pickups.
I'm not even sure how the whole SUV driver thing in relation to where people shop got started. I am sure you there are plenty of very affluent people driving Escalades, Navigators, and Lexus full sized SUV's down to their local Apple store to buy an iPad so what does it matter?

London is not representative of the rest of the UK at all. It skews almost every figure released that is related to population. I've never seen anyone with a gun, I don't know anyone with a gun and I doubt I ever will.
This is always going to be the case when a single city has over 12% of the country's population.
Exactly. You're more likely to know someone with a gun if you live in the countryside anyway. The only people I saw holding guns in London were two Police Officers on the beat around Waterloo Station when I used to walk to work from Waterloo to Piccadilly Circus and outside the US Embassy when I went for my visa interview last month. Oh, also one of my dad's ex coworkers had a gun, but he was in an armed response unit in the police, so I guess that doesn't really count.

I realize it's unlikely Apple will release a Conroe minitower, but I definitely still see a place for it, and hey, one can always dream. :D :cool:
I asked a while back if Apple were likely to release a mini tower type machine and was quite surprised with the agreessivley negative replies some people gave all but calling me an idiot for asking for one. Some people just dont seem to get the fact there could quite easily be a machine that sits inbetween the mac mini and the mac pro even though the imac exists.

Nice to see coverflow in there although I do agree that it looked better before.
And is it just me or is it slower?
Frankly, I'm shocked no one has complained about the actual changes to the 'iTunes Store'! Yet. I'm looking at it using iTunes 6 and its like: :eek:
They've like basically overhauled the entire browser in there! I'm not too sure how I feel about it...

After applying the update, it seems like it's running cooler. I'm getting 53-54C now, when normally it's 58-59.
I got my mb the moment the were selling them in cincinnati and i've had one problem. It discolors, but i can almost get over that. I have never had the over heating issue, my computer stays around 35c and 40c. The new update scared the crap out of me when the fans went into full blast. they've never done that ever! now my battery seems to not last long at all. this could be an issue in the future... Wear and tair on the battery from recharging it all the time. I used to be able to use my mb all day, low screen brightness, not blue tooth, no wifi, no problem. Now i cant even go to work without my charger. Really sad. I really want to save up for a mbp and put this energy beast on ebay.

LOL! I always knew that the ipad was just a toy. Now Toys R Us are selling them, HOW APPROPRIATE.
I guess now days everyones a comedian. Stevamundo ladies and gentleman!
And on topic, The Apple Store, is always your best bet for anything apple. They tend to stock plenty of iPads, so long as you get there when they open.

you're that annoying friend that shows up at a party and everyone has to be nice to him, and then as soon as you leave everyone talks about how abrasive you are.
that is the worst kind of friend.
Actually, the people I hang out with have some degree of character and intelligence.
ETA: And also, most of them are gay. The straight people I hang out with probably wouldn't say "that's so gay". For those who did, I would just explain why it bothers me; they would just think about it for a second and realize what they were doing. It's really pretty straightforward.

Considering they added a 24" iMac, what are the chances that they will move the 23" ACD to 24"?
I hope not, the 24" panel is not as good as the 23"
I bet you see a lot of complaints regarding photo editing on the 24" iMac. The screen is way too bright, and you cannot dim it enough for true color reproduction. This is an issue that is well known with the 2407 from dell. I am assuming it is the same panel.

I don't recall massive outcry from the devs on those other platforms. Why do you think that is?
On reason might be because when was the last time a gaming console had 100K games for it?? I don't think any of them have. Could be wrong thou.
You have far more developers for the iPhone platform then you do for the games thus we hear about it more. I would also speculate that now that we live in an age of instant communication, we don't have to wait it to make the paper or trade magazine we are hearing about it much sooner and more often.

I agree and disagree.
agree that the mono mixes are better. but leave the stereo ones alone. they can remaster them if they want... but I dont think the actual mixes should be messed with. I certainly dont trust Sir Paul to be sitting in front of the mixing console saying to George martin "hey, can we turn up the sap?" if all the beatles were alive, maybe. but I'd rather them release the albums with both Stereo and mono mixes on them. like Beach boys did with Pet sounds (and its still only 12.99)
Sounds like a plan. Agreed, Paul shouldn't be left alone at the console! The result is: Let it Be...Naked.
But remastering is critical. As is easy access to what was originally intended: mono.

I'm an INTP and most of my friends are NTs.
I agree with you completely, I couldn't imagine anything worse. Interestingly, a lot of people on the AS get IxTx on the myers-briggs, usually INTx
Here's the article in any case, if you ever need to defend yourself against a rabid asspie lol

* Microsoft App-V and Med-V both works amazing.
* Windows 7 isn't that bad either (though I HATE that glassy Windows look.)

Their sells are not on that less but its in those computers wink wink.
Can you rephrase that sentence? I have no clue what you just said (I suspect you meant sales rather than sells... sells = verb, sales = plural noun).
And for some reason it is bugging me and I want to know what you meant, but I really can't parse your grammar there.
Should the first part be "Their sales are not on that much"? and what is in those computers and what has that got to do with their sales not being on that much?
As I said, I'm really completely confused by that sentence.

The idea that religion is the only thing that keeps kids from growing up into terrible people is a bit outdated, there are large countries in the Western World were religion has almost no influence and these places are not a pool of hate.
Actually, this Book of Truths� is not a bad idea.
You can introduce it to your children, in the comfort of your own home. No need to venture out into nasty weather, wasting gas/shoe leather, to go to some palatial venue.
And now that the government has failed in raising your kids, because you sure are not allowed to lay an open palm on the little dears, this might be one way to get the message across, for a healthy, successful life.
OK, this should be good. :D

Don't you have to pay a restocking fee, even if you're within the 14-day return period?
More than likely, but that doesn't bother me. I don't mind spending a little extra and causing myself a bit of hassle if it means I can get the supposed 23" iMac.

Apple phone support seems to have entirely melted down. Hitting the battery recall options only tells you they've discontinued phone support and that you should use the "chat" option on the apple support webpage (which seems to be invisible). Trying to go through iBook support just manages to get me disconnected after a variety of error messages from the phone system

If they are really smart (and the studios play ball, which is doubtful) they would go straight to 1080P.
I agree with you on the DVD quality. But could imagine how long it would take to downlaod a 1080p film? Days! The hard drive space would be another thing, it would be about 10 or 11 gigs for one film! At least. This is not going to be possible for at least 3 or 4 years I would say.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. Just as a test (not very scientific)... I went to the Apple Quicktime site and downloaded "The Queen" HD movie trailer at 1080P. Using an iBook connected to Airport Extreme wifi that's connected to an advertised 5-Mbps internet cable service, it took me about 5 minutes to download the 2-minute, 150-MB trailer. A little math tells me that a two-hour movie will take me about 300 minutes (5 hours) to download, and the size of the file will be about 9000 Mb in size.
To me that's not outrageous. However, it does mean planning ahead. I won't be able to start watching the movie five minutes after I've started downloading it. The real-time viewing will catch up to the download. I would need to give it about a four-hour head start.
No matter, my 1.33-GHz iBook isn't powerful enough to play 1080P HD movies without dropping frames and sound every few seconds. I think there are a lot of people in the same position as me. I cannot believe that Apple will offer just one level of movie quality. Just like what Apple currently offers on its movie trailer site, I'm guessing you'll be able to rent or buy 480P, 720P, or 1080P quality movies.
It took me just 50 seconds to download the same two-minute-long trailer at 480P quality. The size of the file is about 30 Mb. That means it will take me about 50 minutes to download the whole 1800 MB movie. At that rate, I can start watching the movie right away. My internet connection provides a download rate that is twice as fast as the movie viewing rate. That is exactly what I want. On impulse, I can be watching any movie I want within a few seconds. At full screen on my iBook, the 480P movie looks like I'm watching a rented DVD movie. The best part: No trips to incredibly annoying video stores.
I'm guessing the time it takes to download a 720P movie, and its file size, will fall somewhere halfway between the 480P and the 1080P movie.
