    Enough with the iPhone rumors. Really i'm suffocating from these dead rumors. We get it, people want a Cell Phone from Apple, but there is no need to be this obsessive about it :mad:

    That's true, but the same can be said for almost any nifty thing that folks here are waiting on. MR would go out of business if people stopped obsessing.

    Regardless of when Leopard's released, at least Steve can tell us about those "super secret" features he was on about. Right?


    Right?

    Then get a nano? Alu exterior, even smaller than before, better battery life, small LCD display...

    Unless if you're asking for something like a nano at the price of a shuffle. Then keep dreaming.
    I have a SanDisk player about the size of a shuffle, but with a screen, radio and voice recorder. It runs on one AAA battery. It cannot do playlists, it is only folders of mp3 and wma files. Radio almost never work indoors. It comes with in-ear headphones that are too big for my ears. The new version with 1GB capacity is selling for only $55 at Amazon. The new one even seems to have a color screen. Unless iTunes compatibility is important for you, it is not a bad deal just due to the screen. I guess Apple could add a screen and still sell shuffle for $79 or have a 1GB nano for $99.

    Thought I would post my folding setup as I have a computer on loan for a few months:

    Folding with:

    Rig 1:
    -AMD Phenom x4 945 overclocked to 3.75ghz
    -Currently saving up for a 460gt or something (suggestions?)

    Rig 2:
    -Laptop
    -Intel i7 Q720 at 1.6ghz
    -Nvidea mobile 220 or something like that.

    Rig 3:
    -Intel i7 920 at 2.8ghz
    -Nvidea 280gtx
    -This one is on loan and I cannot overclock it :(

    Removable GPU!? Pretty impressive!

    I have one of the first Core i7 iMacs from 2009 and they have always had a removable GPU. The 2010 Models have removable GPUs as well. You can purchase used upgrade (5670 or 5750's online, these (http://eshop.macsales.com/search/imac+replacement+video+card) are the 2010 iMac video cards that you can put into the 2009 model iMacs) I had a technician come to my house and replace only the GPU on my iMac i7 (2009), then on a separate occasion they replaced only my logic board.

    Perhaps they are talking about the 21" models having removable GPUs? Is that it? It appears that everyone thought all the old models didn't have removable GPUs.

    By the way, guys, the iMacs have had separate mobile graphics boards since the first aluminium models from August 2007. The fact that you can replace these boards without replacing the logic board is OLD NEWS. These boards are the same that you'd find in super-thick, high-end gaming PC laptops. It also explains why you're not seeing any higher than a 6750M in a MacBook Pro.

    I'm glad someone else knows what they are talking about! :)

    It's a standard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MXM

    Exactly! They are in fact the Mobile versions of Each GPU, NOT Desktop versions. That why when in Windows (under bootcamp) I prefer to use AMD's drivers for the corresponding Mobile version of each card because it works better than Apple's Bootcamp drivers, which they never update. I've had huge performance improvements using AMD's drivers off their website rather than the BootCamp Drivers themselves.

    I've found it kind of maddening that Apple markets these GPUs as full desktop GPUs, because they aren't.

    Will the clip be as good for exercising as the dorky (but useful) stringy thing?

    Again, I am worried about the moisture factor. The sport case was great, as it kept sweat out. Any amount of moisture through that back switch and the thing died - eventually what killed mine, I think.

    I'd be hesitant to wear the thing while running in fear of sweating on it.

    Well yes,..
    If the issue is purely the tech just isn't ready then throwing cash at it won't help.....

    but Apple has a big horde of Cash so if the issue with the parts is the economic risk of retooling to build them and ramp up production. Then that is something pre-buying maybe able to solve.

    I think some people are forgetting other elements are involved with the creation of a phone model. Sure, Design has a lot to do with it, as does the supply of parts.

    But Apple isn't just some backstreet hack knocking up burgers, reliant on the supply of produce that will match their recipe.

    The product releases are scheduled. In the consumer electronics business, the technology needs to progress rapidly, rolling old products into obsoleteness.

    Deals related to parts would be in place more than months ahead. Chances are, the iPhone 5 was already beginning testing before the iPhone 4 was released.

    Which means, even at prototype level or pre-production sample, the components would have been available long beforehand. You think they knock off 5 million iPhones between announcement date, and release date with complete faith in shipping schedules?

    Deals relating to the supply of these parts are made long in advance. Manufacture for the iPhone 5 would have already been getting ramped up, and the need to have the new product available at, or around the existing schedule would be vital. And they wouldn't be taking chances. It's crucial in the IT industry.

    Ad feminam attacks aside, I think you may be underestimating the damage this kind of leak will do to Apple. Competitors now have confirmation of Apple's plans and can push for competing deals to be negotiated so that their stores can come out at the same time as Apple's. The leak is an attempt by Lion's Gate to bring more competition into an area that Apple is blazing the trail for. All Mac users should defend Apple and do whatever we can to help the mothership.

    So does this mean your original post wasn't a joke?

    :eek:

    As much as people keep insisting IT MUST BE renting/buying, I don't see a problem if it's initially either one, as long as pricing is right. There's a huge market for both, and covering either is a big potential revenue source for apple.

    Personally, I wouldn't buy unless it was DVD quality and included all DVD extras (not going to happen any time soon), or was dirt cheap to own. And rental would be fine, I'd probably even accept lower quality for some content as long as it was cheaper than netflix (but also probably not going to happen).

    Salts of magnesium are used in fireworks, yes.

    Chunks of metal? Nooooo, that would just be shrapnel. Setting magnesium metal on fire takes a lot of effort, so nobody get started on "I left my IPod in the sun for 20 minutes and it blew up!" threads.

    cool... will see the inevitable return of the "man-auto-set-on-fire" urban legend... :D :D

    "I swear, the man bursted into flame while skipping through his playlists"

    Apple is unlikely to buy Netflix. Some of Netflix's contracts with media companies likely include a termination clause that can be invoked when the company is bought. That's likely why Apple had to shut down Lala after they bought it.

    I'm on UQ Wimax with an NEC A t e r m W M 3 5 0 0 R router. It's a POS really, I keep losing my wifi connection when I have my laptop AND my Android phone(s) connected. But it's so inconsistent, sometimes hours go by before I get an issue, sometimes it happens within minutes.

    I only keep it cuz it's fairly stable with just my MBA connected, and because of the amazing 8 hours of battery.

    This was plan with no contract, and flat fee for unlimited (actually really unlimited, this is Japan!) data. �4490/month. With contract is �500 cheaper or something, maybe �1000. Can't remember. Device itself was �5100, and activation was another �2-3000.

    Patrix.

    Thanks for the info, I need to find a good reasonable price on an iPad sim card (the AT&T international rates are a joke)!

    We have a bunch of free wifi hot spots on the bases so my laptops are fine with those but the iOS devices don't play well with them and the ISP doens't really seem to care to want to fix that connectivity...

    Wow. Ever care to think that maybe the media has picked up on a wrong technical fact? Not to mention it was never mentioned what facts were wrong.

    Do you people just live to work yourselves up without applying any critical thinking? :confused:

    :eek:: Are you betting against internet lingua franca, lack of critical thinking?
    :D: You'll lose.

    Hey, Apple fault, this is 21st century baby. Truth never trumps perception of a possible scandal.

    In this modern age where the players are 'athletes' are they still allowed cucumber sandwiches and scones or is it all isotonic sports drinks now?

    I wouldn't be surprised if they were slurping beer (ale of course) at the intervals, though Strauss must have needed something to boost him in his seven hours yesterday.

    No rain today I think - we will have to play our sox off. Here we go....!

    I'm in the hunt for a job and editing is at the top of my list, it used to be the only job on my list but in this economy we all need to be open minded sadly. Anyway to my point, I wonder how FC X will change some local news stations that use FCP? Oddly enough a station in San Fransico was asking for mainly iMovie users with Final Cut knowledge too, though they really were looking for iMovie, which I think is odd, this is CBS too, not some tiny station.
    So as a person looking for an editing job I wonder how long this transition will be or if even adopted by news stations. Most use Avid like you all know and some Apple products like I mentioned. Main problem is the new learning curve, which does not look difficult at the moment, guess we have to wait till June to find out.
    I took courses on media which used FCP 2 when I was getting my bachelors in Communications and learned iMovie on my own, which was easy to pick up. I love learning new programs just not ones I depend on and can be difficult so I hope this is an easy transition to boost my resume, even if it doesnt help much for now, well June-July, hope I can learn it all that quick.

    Unless they've bought map data from Navateq or TeleAtlas, I strongly doubt Apple has enough time to map the entire world. If anything, because of the huge number of people using iPhones, it's perfect for creating an aggregate map of traffic data which no other company could do (besides Google i suppose).

    The USA has the longest road network at about 4 million miles. There are probably 40 million iPhone users in the USA. So that is 1/10th of a mile per user. If mapping the USA cost $10 per mile of road then the cost would be one dollar per user. I'd invest a million or two in writing some really clever software to analyse GPS data and let iPhone users collect all the necessary data, then professional drivers just following all the mapped roads to fix errors.
