    Toys R Us have been a retailer since day 1. There is no broadening here. And using multiple retail outlets means that Apple is not limited in the territories it covers with its own store chain. That is why since day 1, multiple retail chains have carried the iPad 2.

    Well aware of the other outlets, but not Toys R Us. So why is this story presented as news?

    Well, lets see where would they put it? Between Mac Mini and iMac.... you know in that $200 difference. Or maybe between iMac and Pro Mac.... in that what $300 difference. It seems like the Mac Mini bump and iMac expansion have left no room in the line-up for another Mac. Even with conroes... all speeds, sizes, prices are covered. There isn't room for a Conroe Mac. Period.

    Price gaps, sure, I'll give you that, but you are comparing apples to oranges if you're comparing the Mini and Mac Pro (headless) to an iMac (AIO). What about the people who already have a nice 24" display (or whatever) - what are their options? Throw away their dislpay and buy an iMac? Sure, they could sell it I suppose, but why, if they like it and it works perfectly? So, otherwise, their options are a Mac mini or a Mac Pro - nothing in between. Where is the machine with the iMac's specs (which are perfect for most users) which isn't AIO? For many people the mini is slightly underpowered, and the Mac Pro is overkill. And many people do not want an AIO and prefer easy upgradeability.

    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:

    not really. If I like Pink Floyd, I like Pink Floyd...not the Beatles.

    Saying I like Apples doesn't = I like oranges...though both are fruit.

    the Beatles are talented, but tired. That was my point.
    I know everyone loves them, and I also know that everyone loves the familiar...but, uh, there's loads better new music from this century and I think it would be nice to let a dead dog lay.

    Which will be said by some new generation for your favorite timeless bands. The cycle simply starts anew. You can't let a dead dog lay when people are still all listening to Mozart, Beetoven, Chopin, Tchaikovsky. No more than you can tell Drama-fans to put down William Shakespeare or even the majority of plays made between 1920 and 1986. They get repeated and people will never tire of seeing them again. Same thing for Elvis. People will be getting collections for him well past 2020.

    Also, what about gods other than Jesus, are the good things performed in their name just as "selfless"?
    Most of the jesus religions are exclusive (non-eclectic). Good can only come through jesus and his father. Things beyond or apart from them can be neutral or evil, but not good. That which arises from other sources has not been approved by the one true god and/or his son, so it cannot approach good. That which originates from another religion (sometimes even another sect of the same religion) must be bad or evil, because the beliefs that fail to properly recognize the truth of the saviour are corrupt and probably under the influence of the prince of darkness, bringer-of-light.

    This attitude is real, persisting in the hearts and minds of the faithful. How intense it is varies from person to person, sect to sect, but I believe a similar sort of indoctrination is common with most of the other exclusive religions. This illustrates why I made the offensive statement on another thread, that believers seem to be functioning under self-imposed intellectual impairment.

    I froze spending on a lot of things, made relatively minor cuts to others and actually raised worthy stuff like veterans' benefits and clean energy research.

    Increased taxes moderately on those making $100,000-$1,000,000, but went whole hog on those making $1,000,000+. Returned the estate tax to 2001 levels (but wished I had the option to go a lot higher than that). Did not add a VAT tax.

    I did not lower defense spending as much as some of you. I went from $600b down to $400b.

    Removed the contribution limit on SS, but did not change benefits.

    All in all, my cutting was pretty damn conservative compared to what the tea stainers are screaming about. And I still came out with this:

    i have a week 26 white 2.0 MB. it has a screw on the bottom in the dead center. it was never serviced.

    Dunno what week it is, but I got it in October. I got screwed too, right in the middle right out of the box. Hasn't been serviced. As I said though, it was nice and quiet before the firmware update...

    Can anyone show a pic of a MB without the center screw? lol

    If this works out and a Beatles iPod does come out with a commercial alongside I can almost guarantee you the song will be Revolution.

    Anyone tell me what good is a 64-bit processor other than being able to address more RAM. I know a 64-bit address bus alone doesn't make a 64-bit processor.

    I also heard these are not "true" 64-bit processors, just the same old x86 processors w/ 64-bitty goodness added on. Any truth to this?

    See the MacRumors guide that explains about ten major differences in the architecture between Core Duo and Core 2 Duo. 64 bit-ness is a very minor part of the difference. You get three quarters of the improvements even with 32 bit code.

    And Formula 1 cars are not really Formula 1 cars, they are just normal cars with stronger engine, revved higher, less weight, optimised for good airflow at high speed and so on and so on and so on... Not at all different from the car you drive.

    if you only use it for phone calls and text then it's no problem but if you play a game or surf the web then it may get problematic to achieve a battery life that long

    Not at all. I surf, call, text and game - not 3D games but Angry Birds (naturally). 24 hours easily, 36 on lighter days.

    What helps is the off-peak synching - you can set it to stay online during certain times and not others, so between 12am and 6am it only checks for email every 2 hours, the data connection shuts off otherwise. That helps save a chunk of battery power.

    Again, the military is inextricable from the economy. Not only are large sectors heavily dependent on military spending (like the town of 150,000 just west of me, that would utterly collapse if its two bases were closed), but a weaker military would risk tremendous losses in international commerce as foreign nations take back control of their own markets and resources absent the pressure of potential American military action.


    So we must continue our imperial ways simply because of economic reasons?

    RCR Wireless (http://unplugged.rcrwireless.com/index.php/20110503/devices/8804/hot-rumor-apple-ipad-3-to-be-fully-3d/) claims to have multiple sources telling it that Apple is planing on incorporating 3D technology ino the next generation iPad. “The fact that the iPad 3 is 3D is a dead cert,” one Hollywood insider close to the big movie studios told RCR, adding that the screen would be the real magic. She went on to say that the big film studios were currently running around like blue arsed flies trying to gear up to release plenty of 3D content in time for Apple’s next launch.Besides this "Hollywood insider", they also cite sources from iPad manufacturer Foxconn about the 3D plans.

    We're not sure about the reliability of these sources, but Apple has clearly been exploring 3D technology over the years as evidenced by numerous (http://www.macrumors.com/2008/12/11/apple-exploring-3d-desktop-and-application-interfaces/) patent (http://www.macrumors.com/2008/03/20/apple-researching-3d-stereoscopic-displays/) applications (http://www.macrumors.com/2009/12/17/apple-working-on-3d-hyper-reality-displays/). Not all this research has been in the typical 3D technology found in recent movies and television sets. Some of the research has been in pseudo-3D technologies that involve head tracking that was effectively demoed (http://www.macrumors.com/2011/04/11/head-tracking-allows-glasses-free-3d-on-ipad/) in a recent iPad app. 3D, of course, has also been a big recent trend with the release of many 3D TVs, 3D movies, and Nintendo's 3DS handheld gaming console.

    Also interesting is that this isn't the first time this has been suggested. Earlier this year, Japanese blog Macotakara (http://www.macotakara.jp/blog/index.php?ID=11085) cited their own sources who said that Apple's LCD supplier was beginning to manufacture small glasses-free 3D LCD panels for the iPod Touch, though they suggested it might involve user head-tracking to accomplish the effect..

    I don't mind Radio Shack for random overpriced cables in an emergency, but I would never buy anything else in there. The salespeople are just far too pushy and circle around you like vultures attracted to a rotting carcass.

    I feel it is highly likely we will see a new tiny laptop from Apple at some point in 2007.

    Intel will be releasing Merom next spring, AND an ultra-low voltage version for tiny laptops.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_2#Merom_2

    There used to be more detail there but it seems to have gone.

    Still baffled as to why Apple stopped the 12'' PB, but maybe they felt they wouldn't sell enough in 9 months to recover the costs of designing an intel core version, before needing a major redesign for the 2007 tiny laptop.


    Wait wait.... we're getting all hot and bothered about Core 2 Duo... and you're telling me a new chip will be out in a few months...
    I can't keep up!

    It's true that a high megapixel count is not anything like the most important factor about a camera, but everything else being equal more megapixels is better than fewer megapixels. I seriously doubt Apple is going to add megapixels just for the number on the specs list.



    I think the point is that the technical specs of a photo, and the camera it was taken on, can't make a badly lit, poorly composed photo a good one, and (within reason) can't totally destroy the work of a good photographer who knows what they are doing but only had access to a 'lesser' camera.

    Another way of looking at it might be that Leonardo da Vinci could do more impressive work with a pencil and paper than many people could do with a studio full of photoshop artists.

    Fair enough.

    I think that was common sense and wasn't worth mentioning in any context.

    lol, yea the store employees are usually only informed when we are. managers and inventory people may kno earlier, but they're unlikely to say much.
