I wonder if they will allow the free education ipod touch with the 11" MBA this summer?
i'm hoping so. i think the deal has always applied to the $999 white macbook. (correct me if i'm wrong.)
then again, the ipod touch went up in price last year. i've wondered whether they might change it to "free ipod nano" or something. hope not.
we'll see.

If Apple always intended to release the new 6G/widescreen iPod at the same time as the Zune, why did they bring out the 5.5G so recently?
The iTunes 5->6 transition and iPod mini->nano transitions should demonstrate that just because something is new and/or successful it doesn't mean that it won't be replaced suddenly by Apple on a whim. :p

Making tech easy, accessible, and as worry-free as possible is the answer. That means you can't take the stuff you make and let other people mess with it. That means closed licensing. That means actually paying attention to what is done with the tech. That means keeping a tight rein on who can alter it and how it's done.
This is why Apple is so successful, usually by doing the opposite of everyone else. Which, in turn, prompts everyone else (with a few exceptions) to move more in Apple's direction, ironically.
Now your mom and your grandma can use tech and look like experts doing it, thanks to Apple. If you think that particular perspective doesn't matter, you're in for a huge surprise over the next few years.
You just proved my point. Thanks.
You are getting very defensive here. It is entirely on topic here to put whatever Apple is doing and criticized for into perspective. Emotions and paranoia tend to get out of hand, so comparing Apple's tiny problem with a major privacy desaster at Sony should help people recognizing properly how much or how little of a problem Apple has.
It's irrelevant to this thread topic. There are a million people dying in X and yesterday, someone got mugged near where I work. Just because millions of people are dying doesn't make the person that got mugged any less of an issue.
I'm not defensive at all. I just think if people want to talk about this issue they can without trying to compare it to something else as if that makes this issue less of an issue.

Glad to read I'm not the only one drawn to the 11" MBA. Still I can't make a final decision.
I can afford both for my business but I'm trying to use less computers not more. That's why I originally chose the 13", so it could be my one 'main machine'.
As sensible as that is I still want the 11" for a main machine. The ease of carrying it everywhere, fun to use aspect just might outweigh the practicality of the larger screen, added power, SD card slot.
I'm still undecided. :eek:

No, because its funnier that way.

Mikey, I also have a late 2.8 Ghz machine, can you tell me the web url or part number of the 8 GB memory you ordered from Crucial.
I recommend buying your memory from MacSales. They're a high-quality supplier of memory, SSDs, and all sorts of other upgrades for Macs. They've noted this memory capacity mystery on the 2008 Unibody MacBook for years and finally sorted it out.
Crucial is a good vendor (and an advertiser here ;-) but I would give this business to MacSales. This page (http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3) lists the parts you need from them and has a link on how to ensure you have the firmware needed to access all 8GB of memory.

Really? I don't get the fascination with tiny notebooks? I'm young and have great eyes and it's still a strain to see what you're working on a lot of the time. And if you don't do "work" on the notebook per se, just stick mostly to web browsing, email, IM, things like that, then why get a notebook at all? Why not just a good PDA? Smaller, lighter, works as a phone...
If you have (or want) a tiny notebook (12" or smaller), what do you use it for? I'm not being facetious, I'm actually curious...

This is a prototype do-it all gadget, including a cell phone, music player, etc. by Synaptics, the company that provides the clic-wheel technology for the Apple iPod.
It includes sensing technology (touchless ipod?) and it seems to resemble some aspects of the apple patent drawings shown over the internet.

Even worse in a communist country where the "employer" and the government might be one and the same.
Clearly, you never served in our military. We have our own code of justice, but without even going to that extreme, if you think that civilians aren't jailed or worse in the United States and even outside our borders because of our corporate collusion, you're living in dreamland. We've got entire societies displaced by our corporate interests, dissenters jailed and their democratically elected leaders shot, and that's just what's on the record. Plenty of blood on everybody's hands.
It's what everybody gets when even a few people aren't self sufficient and dependent on money.

here's hoping they have fixed the light leakage issue plaguing the iPads that have shipped thus far otherwise they may as well push shipping Estimates out 6 months because these things are defective
My White 16GB Wifi has the bleed. Taking it back to Walmart tomorrow...32GB White ordered online last week. Youre right, it isnt a hyped thing...the issue exist alot.

I think this is the #1 reason people don't switch; They think that the difficulties of windows are how computing is supposed to be, namely, complicated, expensive, and time consuming.
I have to fight tooth and nail at my company to use a mac because, and I quote my "IT Professional"; "Macs are too expensive, they get too many viruses, and they're too hard to network and support". Now, granted, this woman isn't bright and was "promoted" to network admin from some receptionist job at some point, but this is how most companies think.
I have to disagree. I really don't think it is that sophisticated of an issue. It comes down to software and deployment. The people on this board are quite intelligent, so I would expect they can concede Windows rules the software market.
I am the network admin, on the side, for a small business. Additionally, I am the purchasing manager, and as the purchasing manager it is not prudent for me to purchase any Macs. Windows 2003 SBS (small business server) is an excellent backend server. Remote access, VPN, and exchange server simply are amazing tools for collaboration and connectivity to peers. On SBS 2003 they are all included.
The computers I purchase must have Windows XP Pro, which is a must for our domain management. I have actually added a Mac to our active directory, and had Entourage running off Exchange, and I can tell you it was a big pain in the ass. HP Business Computers are excellent at providing a clean install of Windows XP Pro. I simply don't see a decent argument for an employee to have a Mac when all the programs they are required to run are on Windows. Additionally, I will not waste time or money purchasing additional licenses of XP Pro for Macs, and then have to install it. Since we are a construction company we are heavy into Timberline (SQL based estimating and accounting...amazing application), Access, Visio, Project, and AutoCAD. I have yet to find viable alternatives on the Mac that has full compatibility.
In your argument you mentioned iTunes. Well I have that for Windows. I find Picasa to be a better application than iLife, and I don’t use Garage Band or iMovie.
Of course for home use there are plenty of software choices that are arguably the best in their class, such as iLife. However, those specific applications are not significant value added tools for our business.
The truth is I own a Mac at home for simple entertainment. It’s fun to use a different platform from time to time. However, Ubuntu and OS X are still entertainment OSs for me and not much more.
However, when money is on the line I would never choose a Mac in our business. They simply don’t have a competitive advantage and are not able to offer any software that would make our business more efficient. Now I could argue that software developers can be blamed for not offering Mac versions of critical applications, but I really don’t care.

All 3D is a 2D image that is manipulated in such a way that the brain is tricked into seeing 3 dimensions. How is this any different exactly?
I'm not a fan of 3D movies (too gimicky) but they are different technologies with different results. With this app, cool as it is, you have to move in relation to the display to get any sort of depth. As far as I can tell, this would not work for any movies/games where the camera is moving. That, and there appears to be no "z axis" depth unless you're swinging your head back and forth.
As cheesy as it is in movies, at least you can sit still in your seat and have the paddleball fly into your face. This demo appears to be more like, "you can see the paddleball string if you tilt your head to the side".

As much as I'd like a new macbook or iMac with a 750gb hard disk, I think I'm going to stick with what I've got until 802.11n and HD/Blueray burners are standardised on the mac.
I'd personally like to see a smaller macbook revision, for ultra traveling, possibly with extra securty for the traveler....
Well, I hope you enjoy that computer when it comes out sometime (if ever) in 2008.

Hello kind folks of MacRumors.com-
I am wishing for help and advice deciding what type of hardware to purchase for a 30TB server. It must meet the following requirements:
• 30TB RAID (Redundancy important for backup purposes)
• Remote Accessibility in that I would like to be able to pull files from it anywhere that I have an internet connection.
• Macintosh friendly– it does not need to run OS X Server, it just needs to connect without hassle to Macs.
This will be used for at my office for archiving video. We may want to use Final Cut Server to sort the files in the future. I have been tasked with building this setup and am hoping for suggestions from one of the brightest communities on the web. :D
Your time in responding is much appreciated.
:apple:
http://www.activestorage.com/activeraid.php#tab5
fill it with 2tb drives and get a mac mini server or a mac pro server or eqv for remote (with a fat pipe if you don't have one allready)
or use this (32tb option) for the storage either one of these or the active raid will do fine
