iPhone 4S? That just sounds lame. Hopefully they'll come up with a snazzier name than that.

It's impossible for those who have been oppressed by the majority to be racist - they don't have the power.


Ummm...sounds like something al sharpton would say. That's a load of crap. What do you mean they don't have the power to? We're not talking about racism coming from the government, which is predominantly white in the US. We're talking about, for example, say black people are dining in a restaurant, and they have an issue with white people. They leave their white waitress a horrible tip just because they figure "oh well, her ancestors may have held ours as slaves, so i don't feel bad leaving her a bad tip". To say it's impossible for those who have been oppressed to be racist is laughable. Blacks can be just as racist and vile as whites.

What about denying somebody a job because of their, say, intelligence? Charisma? Any number of things that are largely predetermined?

Not sure what you mean. Elaborate?

I wonder if the iPhone 5 lines would merge with the iPad 2 lines?

Yes, because SO many iPhone 4 users are crying out that it�s just a little too small or a little too big! :p That�s a problem worth throwing vast sums of money and development resources at, not to mention customer confusion and loss of simplicity. Be more like Dell :)

I think you're misinformed. The current models simply combined the 1/8" in and out jacks into one port (TRRS), just like the port on the iPhone. For example, you can plug your iPhone headphones into your Mac for use as a headset.

It also supports optical via mini-TOSlink: http://www.amazon.com/6ft-Toslink-Mini-Cable/dp/B000FMXKC8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1302041837&sr=8-2

Thanks for the link since I've wanted one of these for my iMac for a while now since the audio inputs/outputs are hybrid now from what I understand.

The iMacs have (according to the Apple website):

"Headphone/optical digital audio output (minijack)
Audio line in/optical digital audio input (minijack)"

Just goes to prove that Consumer Reports will tell you a lie and then show you a picture of it.
+1

It's probably a QC issue. Some are thicker while others are not.

I just don't understand all the speculation over the last 3 years regarding carriers for the iPhone. Get over it, people. If it happens, it happens and Apple will announce it. Until then, ANY carrier is a viable candidate.

CBS is now using the term NetCast (http://www.cbs.com/netcast/)

Goodbye free advertising for the iPod!

The title of this article should be:

Mac goes to WAR:mad:

I first assumed the burning of luxury items was being loyal to family and tradition because the items were wicked and not traditional. I guess not.

Same here...

If you're in a warm room, for instance, you'll have much lower performance, since it requires the differential to work. Of course, maybe the information available isn't wholly accurate, but that's my understanding based on the description.

And therein lies the failure of this idea as a simplifying concept:

When do you need the fan on? When the processor heats up.

Do you want the fan blowing harder or softer when the room is warmer? Harder.

In other words, if I'm sitting out in the cool evening air, I hardly need the fan going at all as the coolness of the air is doing just fine pulling the heat from the CPU. If I'm sitting in 100-degree weather then that fan better be buzzing like a bee to get enough air past the heat sink to effect a suitable heat transfer.

This works in just the opposite: In the cold air, there's a huge differential, so the fan is going full bore, annoying me and all my peace-and-quiet-loving neighbors. In the warm air, it slows to a crawl as the amount of electricity generated approaches the lower limit of sustaining power for the fan. Then it stops. Then my laptop heats up rapidly and the processor dies.

So, you need two additional controls: a bleed for cases when this extra cooling is not necessary, and a backup fan for when it isn't sufficient.

So, we haven't been able to simplify the problem at all, and instead are gaining the (very slight) power savings from not having to run this fan off our battery power (directly) in a mid-temp room. Seems like the R&D and per-unit costs put into this circuitry could be more wisely spent eking a few more milliwatts from the existing circuitry ...

All this Mac vs PC subjective stereotyping is useless. [Cumulative] correlation does not mean causation.

thanks for welcoming me. i had a windows box running SETI all day but saw that Macrumors had a folding@home team so decided to join in. i have a question though, does having a dedicated GPU help out alot? Right the computer only has integrated graphics.

welcome to the team and thanks for joining!

as for a dedicated GPU, it depends. you can run a GPU folding client, which will use your video card for folding, and you can still run a CPU client also. right now, nvidia cards work much better for folding.

what setup do you have now?

That's a little scary if you ask me. A little Big Brother-ish? Or how about something out of Robert Ludlum's Promethus Deception. Tell me that isn't about Bill Gates.:D

Just from my observation (I have no hard data or anything), it seems that at least 25% of new mac buyers are switchers. And from conversations I've heard around my office, I think that number will continue to grow. Apple is really turning heads with this transition to Intel. People like to know what they're getting in a machine (even if they don't really understand the components themselves) and Intel is a household name for the windows world. Good stuff. ;)

15 inch version.

Price is no problem.

Personally I find 15" just a tad large for real portability.

I know this is me dreaming, but what about a hi-res 14.1" inch version "Pro" version. I think the extra space would allow for a faster CPU/GPU combo. Do that with an IPS screen, TB, and USB 3.0 and I it would hit a sweet spot I think.

But then I have this crazy, unfounded hunch that once Apple finally dumps the optical drive on the Macbooks we'll see hybrid Pro/Air machines that are around .6" thick with an 11", 14", 16"(maybe 18") 16X9 lineup instead of the 13", 15", 17" 16X10 lineup of today. No justification, just a fanboy's hunch.

EDIT: I think the slightly smaller form factor would make it easier to get the "retina" qualified resolutions that Hellhammer mentioned which I could really see Apple pushing in 2011/2012. Look how well the "retina" marketing with the iPhone4 did.

Longer battery life, backlit keyboard, charcoal case.

Anyone actually seen one?

Gamestop said they'll have a demo kiosk the day after the launch...

Yep, tried one out yesterday, local store had a demo unit. The build quality is pretty good, although it looks very plastic and childlike compared to the iPhone/iPod Touch/NGP that are much more 'adult'.

I couldn't see the 3D as expected (vision problems in one eye), but the other half wasn't overly impressed. The re-focusing needed to go from the bottom screen to the top is just tiring on the eyes, and you really do have to hold the 3DS at a specific angle to get the effect.

The augmented reality was pretty cool (even without 3D) though, but certainly not enough to sell me a console.

I have never heard of this guy. But having Geocities, Yahoo, and Microsoft on a resume doesn't inspire a great deal of confidence.

As a datacenter manager ? Quite the contrary, those are 3 big data center experiences right there.

As a product manager ? I'd agree with you.

When i had surgery on my teeth like ten years ago they used a gas on me, i don't believe they use that anymore for anyone. I had surgery last july on my knee and they used IV therapy. And the last thing i said to the Doctor was "It tastes like burning" But seriously it tasted like burning.

I thought that was the coolest thing ever. It feels cold going into your arm and it burns down your throat for some reason.

You will be fine iGary so don't worry, i love anesthesia because it made me feel all loopy >_>

Enjoy.

Wow, this is going to over-lap with E3. It'll be a hell of a week. :D

Ok now- let's just make one thing clear. :D

I'm single. I need a sexy car, not a four door. :)

They don't come any sexier than an American Corvette

So then they'd finally start catching up with Samsung? I can already stream content straight from my phone to my Samsung TV with AllShare. Not to mention, many of the top manufacturers have already adopted DLNA.

I still don't see the open FaceTime standard Jobs promised when he demoed it at the iPhone 4 media event.

I'm sure there will be plenty in the media who will want to sing Apple's praises over this sort of thing, but Cupertino is going to have to get their devices up to 1080p with open source streaming before I give a crap.

And STILL no wireless syncing of iTunes content to iOS devices. Lame.

I thought there were only two...at least in the tablet market segment.
