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. =)

I know we've overdosed on speculation recently, but the MacRumors live transcript from the keynote today contained the following line (from Steve I believe):
10:24 am lots more announcements during the next week
best to just wait and see......
My bet is on Macbook pro update. with merom processor. maybe even a new form.

me too. Credit Card firmly in wallet until MB update comes around.
I'm pretty much thinking MB's won't get a bump until January, but that's me. ;) they are next to last in the revision cycle as it currently has been unfolding.

well for me is more like i dont want to pay nearly 2000 euros for a machine thats 9 months old and may be updated in a few weeks.. it may not but i rather wait and spend my money wiselly..at least thats my opinion
Exactly, would anyone buy a car for sticker price when the next year's model is coming our in 1-2 weeks? Heck no. That said, this is the best time to get a great deal on the older model because the dealers usually drop the prices significantly. Buying a computer shouldn't be that different. Even Apple thinks so, because you can buy the older model for cheaper in the discount/sale section.
Therefore, even if you don't care about the latest technology (and this is perfectly OK), it would be foolish to buy a MBP right now. These same models will show up in the sales section in 1-2 weeks for a few hundred dollars cheaper. And if you still want to throw your money away, I'll gladly take it instead. :)

This just proves how idiotic humanity is. These songs have been available in multiple formats for over 40 years, but only now, since they are offered in a lossy digital file, do people buy them.
yes!
because EVERYONE has custom IEMs and pro level studio monitors hooked up to their professional amps in their phones, cars, gym headphones....jk no they don't.
Protip: Some people just wanna listen to the music. They don't care about the nuances removed by going to MP3 or an otherwise lossy format because their equipment is probably less than adequate to accentuate the difference anyway.

Will have to check the wife's iBook, my PB and the spare battery I bought for it. Would be nice if all three were replaced!
It's a bad year for Sony as they are going to be paying out the nose for the replacements. Apple will probably send the replacements overnight - adding to Sony's misery.
For even more Sony misery - they might be joining the party:

I totally agree. Whenever I read news stories about Apple on Yahoo! Finance, I see comments that vilify Apple for being a "greedy corporation" that sent jobs to China. I'm getting sick and tired of those phony patriots who have the gall to call Apple a greedy corporation for manufacturing things in China to save money, even though those same people happily buy cheap goods without caring in the least if they're made in China or not.
Here's food for thought for all of them. Some of the best Android phones on market, like the HTC EVO 4G, is made in Taiwan. HTC is a Taiwanese company. Where's the vitriol for HTC? Where's the outpouring of patriotism, where they refuse to buy a product made in "repressive China?"
The difference being HTC is a Taiwanese company... Apple is an "American" company. You know, Designed in Cupertino...

Have they done that for the Beatles?
Almost definitely.
I couldn't care less about any comparisons between The Beatles and Bach, but to suggest that people don't commit obsessive amounts of time and effort into analysing just about everything about them is one of the oddest things I've read for a while.

iTunes puts Music Videos in with music. You can change that, select your file, hit command I and select the video tab. If you want it to show up under Movies or TV, just change it in the menu that appears.
Thank you for the clarification, however when I do command-i and choose "Video", the pull-down menu is greyed out. I tried this with several videos, and it's the same: I am unable to change video type on my music videos downloaded from the iTunes Store (American Idiot, etc.). They were all downloaded well before today's updates, so I don't know if that's the problem or not (maybe ones bought afterwards will not cause this problem?)
Are other people experiencing the same problem?

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.

My dad got me an original iPad for my birthday at BB and went to return it last Monday and told them he was gonna get the new one at an Apple Store so they went in the back and said they have a few iPad 2s and got a 32gb AT&T one. Was yesterday supposed to be the first day BB was selling the 2?

Building a new PC soon Well i hope for my money Microsoft give me a nice big shiney box for Vista with lots of pointless manuels that give it that expensive heavy feel.
After years of "naughty" versions of Windows feels weird to be looking forward to paying for the latest version.

I read my Verizon TOS. Then I called since I am considering adding a line. Unfortunately they don't grandfather their plans. However after I spoke with a supervisor, I understand how they have their data only, structured. It's very smart of them, designed to make money for Verizon, without adding complications for the customer.
In the ten years I've been with them about the only drawback is they do tend to be the most expensive. But you get what you pay for. So now I'm clear that unlimited is month to month and can be eliminated at any time. I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
Well I'm pretty sure that if they change your data plan, you are allowed to opt out of contract without paying ETF.

agreed... and even if this wireless sync comes to existance it will be a waste. I'd way rather have a thunderbolt connector on the next set of iDevices than wireless sync. No point in being wireless if i have to leave it on a charger so the battery isn't half dead 3 hours later when it's done syncing. Why people would prefer that is beyond me :D
Well if i only needed few hundreds of MB of data and stuf like calendars and contacts or emails to sync it's a nice addition. That's basically what i would use it for.

Sigh. None of the batteries I have for my 12" PowerBook are covered, not even the one that the Apple store recommended I stop using due to the excessive heat (which died 5 days out of warranty and Apple would do nothing about). Sucks.
