Well I'm not a MAC expert by any means but here's a thought.
I've built many PCs and none of the heatsinks that ship from AMD or Intel have had heat sensors or wires on them. The only wires are for monitoring the RPM of the fan which is attached to the top of the heatsink.
The CPU has its own temperature monitoring and doesn't depend on the heatsink.
Maybe the thermal sensors on the heatsink are not needed completely or at all? The initial solution, before new firmware was available, was to simply replace the heatsink, but now they can safely ignore the short?

How bout the new Galaxy Tab 10.1? I don't own a tablet yet, and am leaning strongly in that direction. iPad had the market cornered for a while, but now there are real competitively spec'd and competitively priced Android tablets coming to market...
Been thinking about that Galaxy Tab For a while. Although the 1st one isn't such a good competition i think this last one will prove a real deal in the tablet community

I've been reading about every other post in this thread and as a long time Beatles fan, wanted to weigh in. I already own the entire Beatles catalog on CD and carry all their releases (minus "Live at the BBC" and a good number of tracks on the Anthologies) around with me on MP3 CD. I used to have it on iPod, but I got a shuffle and gave my 15GB to my wife. So, I have no need to purchase the music. Even if they remastered it, it would still be in 128kb AAC, and that would be a waste.
I would, however, buy a Beatles iPod in a second. Hell, I might even camp out at an Apple store for that. Some people here have said the band is old, and their time is over. I couldn't disagree more. Their music is as fresh as it was in the 60s. They completely changed the face of rock and roll and more importantly, the face of recording. Some of the things the band and George Martin did in the studio are groundbreaking. My list of favorite bands changes on a near daily basis, but the Beatles are always locked in at number 1 on that list. Their influence on modern artists is undeniable. I hear the influences in so many types of music, although that is disappearing with the garbage pawned off on the public as music these days.
I hope these rumors are true because I do think:
1) Apple Computer innovated computing and the music industry with the iPod and iTunes, just as the Beatles did.
2) The ads would be classic
3) The thought of McCartney and Ringo with Steve Jobs on the MacWorld stage makes me tingle with anticipation.
4) Apple Corps was created to breed and inspire creativity, and I think Apple computer does the same thing. It's a match made in heaven.
Paul McCartney is quite a jerk. I wouldn't want to see Steve Jobs insult himself by appearing with him.
Apple Corps breed, inspire creativity? Geewhiz, I don't know whether that's the case... enough LSD and that helps :mad:
Honestly I like some Beatles songs but this is the most overrated band in the history of mankind. Even Cat Stevens and Steely Dan turned out much better.

I would guess that iPhone5 will be duel mode GSM and CMDA... so I would assume the 4G should be able to adapt to either.
isn't LTE a completely different spec than GSM or CDMA?

I don't know, citizenzen. Tell me: would it have helped the United States to have some country intervene the outcome in our civil war?
I don't think it would have.
I think that (for the most part) nations need to work out these struggles for themselves.

Bad day for Apple. Worse day for Sony. Seriously though, Sony just needs to realize that hot electronics are not good. Playstation 2's have always had problems overheating and now Sony's laptop batteries are blowing up. And think, the new Sony Playstation 3s have a souped up G5 (Cell) chip in them. You should be able to barbecue on those things! It plays games, blu-ray disks and cooks your breakfast!

Because before China, no other country in the world with factories EVER sourced raw materials from other countries.
It seems to me that you've spilled a lot of bits & bytes over nothing. I never said nor implied that China is/was the only country that consumes enormous amounts of raw resources. My comment was in reply to the commenter who suggested keeping manufacturing and pollution in China would be good for the US, whereas that�s just not true. But thanks for your hermeneutic of suspicion anyway.

Your points would mean more if it was a big secret that Walmart bullies their suppliers and sells low quality products.
As it stands, *everyone* knows they abuse their suppliers, *everyone* knows they sell the absolute lowest quality merchandise from various Asian sweatshops and *everyone* knows they aren't very good to their employees.
Yet people happily go there and spend money in droves, because as much as they dislike a large company bullying other companies (and in this case, the competition) and as much as they dislike supporting sweatshops or a bad employer, they dislike wasting their meager paycheck on markups even more.
It's the same Starbucks mentality that fills the world with hypocrisy.
Are Apple any different?
All their product is made in Asia, I'm sure they bully their suppliers to get the best prices and there have been question marks over the working conditions in the factories they use.
Everyone wants lower prices and better quality. A lot of people feel guilty due to the effects this has on other people, but not guilty enough to actually stop shopping at the cheapest shops.

Quick question guys, I've been using a pc for many years and I've decided to get a MBP for college. I'll be doing some heavy photo and video editing, gaming and movie watching. I was looking at the 2.66 ghz 15" MBP, is that a good way to go, or do you think I need more power?
I have plenty of time to wait for the new refresh, I won't really need it until July. Any suggestions?
I'd say if you can wait, wait. You'll be able to take advantage of educational pricing from Apple which will help in terms of cost of the new models.
I have an older 2007 2.4GHz Santa Rosa that I run Aperture 3 on and while it's not completely fluid, it handles my 21MB, 15MP RAW files pretty well. I think the 2.66 would probably serve you well if you needed to buy right now, but if you have time there's really no reason not to wait.

I think you need to do a little history reading on The Beatles before you embarrass yourself even more.
Seriously.
I am dazzled by your arguments, finished nicely with the 'let's focus on the messenger because I don't have a clue what I am talking about'.
Move on, son: this is not your topic.

all this beaming vs using the ear buds (yours or theirs) reminds me of the great expense NASA went to make a pen that works in space and Zero G. as compared the Russians who used a pencil
Urban legend. The space pen was developed by a third party, and pencils were used in early nasa missions. Pencils aren't good for outer space since they can burn and shavings and lead bits can float around, which is hazardous.

You mean rhetorical, as opposed to redundant?
If you're gonna try to use big words, at least act like you know what they mean.
I did intend to use the word redundant instead of that other big word you used (what does that one mean anyway?). :rolleyes:
Perhaps I used the word incorectly, now that I look at my sentence. The feeling I was going for is that there is never a shortage of posters who state and restate the redundantly obvious.
BTW...what was your point? Surely you had something critical or insightful to say about what I wrote about Macs or Apple?
Anyhooo... (I know that is not really a word)
...A MB with new Intel goodies sounds alright to me...I am in the middle of a trip and I borrowed a friends PC notebook to use while travelling on boats and trains and such...I feel much more productive, though, I feel like I have been ignoring people, running the risk of looking like a snob;) .
I'll most surely be adding a new MB after they are upgraded. Apple can take a few more weeks if they wish...I need it to gather the funds anyway.

Thats why they filled 1/2 the order so they could process the cc order. Now I can sit and play with the cover untill 4/26, and I ordered it 3/18
They didn't. But if you didn't really order anything, you wouldn't know that.

The Classic will likely be around for a couple more years at least, or until the price of an equivalent (at least 128Gb) iPod Touch approaches the $249 price point.
Perhaps sooner if cloud-based storage capacity becomes the norm very very quickly.
If we don't see 128 Gb at this year's refresh we'll see something cloud-based introduced. We might see both.

I suspected it would be extremely soon, that's why I didn't bother doubling up and getting the previous �899 model out on display as well as the �749.
Anyway, the 1GB of RAM was expected as far as I was concerned, but I didn't expect the BlackBook to jump straight up to 120GB in one shot.
So, base to mid we have faster cpu with better L2 cache, bigger hard drive and DVD burning now. Easier to persuade people to go higher than previously.
