Carbon fibre just won't look as good as aluminum.
I really hope that they get it in gun metal grey one day though. Some colour variety would be great!

I'd rather Leopard was released later with fewer bugs and more stability, than sooner to compete with Vista (that isn't going to be adopted at the same speed anyway).
In relation to the basic editing features in preview - does that mean PDF docs opened can be re-written etc.. or am I on completely the wrong track ?
I can't wait for a unified look, it's a mess right now.

Definitely a fun little get-together. One interesting discovery... :rolleyes: and :p are more effective in forums than in the real world. Still, it was nice to be able to speak my mind without fear of being banned.:p
A couple of FYIs - A few people expressed interest in meeting again today at the Horseshoe. There's a "Best of Show" event that ends at 3:45, so the meet-up prolly won't happen until around 4:00.
Also: we discovered that there's a registration table set up right in front of the designated Horseshoe booth. Don't let that deter you... you can walk behind the table to get to the booth.

I rarely have anything good to say about AT&T, but this app sounds like a potentially good use of crowdsourcing. The question, of course, is: will this incoming feedback actually be reviewed and acted upon by AT&T, or is this effort primarily to create the "illusion of responsiveness" and make us all just feel better.

Didn't they do something like this with the eMac when it first came out? It took them a while to release that eventually to the public. My guess is what happened is that they relized that there was a lot of demand for these amongst students and teachers and got worried that they wouldn't have enough to supply the schools.
That was my first thought too. Maybe they got enough response from non-schools that they are worried the supply wouldn't hold up to get the schools stocked before the new school year.
Just like the eMac originally being this way, I think once school is in full swing and Apple is caught up, we'll see these offered to teachers and higher edu students.

I think you're confusing Macrumors with Engadget. That place is so full of hate I'm surprised it doesn't catch on fire. :rolleyes: Thankfully most people here are either die-hard Apple fans or general lovers of tech who can debate without killing each other. :cool: :apple:

I concurr. Almost every concert I go to now, I see a MacBook on stage. I see mac notebooks everywhere. One thing I hate is when i see people dissuading potential buyers away from macintoshes, simply because Windows is the more common operating system, when most of the time, these are new computer buyers and wouldn't be able to use Wwindows in the first place.
the only reason you're seeing them now, is because you're noticing them because you have one or want one. Before that the Macs were still on stage its just that you didn't care so they didn't stand out. That goes for everyone...of course you see a lot of macs...you want to. The market share tells the truth.

Now that the cat's out of the bag, All the Apple employees will be hanging out around but not in the area. They think the rumors sites are hillarious since we sit here and make [hopefully] inspired guesses that are often as not totally wrong. :rolleyes:
Here's the downside with a MacRumors meet.. they'll be laughing at us. ;)

Most people have dynamic IP addresses so how does EyeTV handle it when your IP address changes when you are watching it over the internet (not a local network).

People on these boards never cease to amaze me. First, they complain that there aren't enough update. When are the updates? We need more!!! Then they release them, and people complain. What's with all the updates?! Why is the update so big?! Apple is horrible...I'm switching...!!!
WOW...Just amazing. I'd hate to be living in your houses! :D

if i'm paying for a digital subscription, there's no reason why i should also have to look at ads.
i can see why there are ads for a print edition, due to printing costs, paper, and shipping, but none of those exist for a digital edition.
Do you have any idea of how expensive it would be for the magazines to lay out two different issues, one with ads and one without? Everything from the table of contents to how text flowed around images to what size the images were would change.
You aren't paying for the magazines -- the advertisers are. You're paying only a small part of the cost of creating the magazine. Delivering it digitally doesn't reduce costs for the content of the magazine -- just for its distribution. A writer isn't going to produce the story for free just because you have a digital subscription.
That said, they should be offering the magazines at a significantly lower cost to digital subscribers, not making you pay the same amount while preventing you from seeing ads. WTF would I want to get a photo magazine for and then not see the ads for cameras, lenses, and accessories?

The use of the balaclava in sectarian violence has contributed a lot to this mistrust of covering your face.
My fianc�e is protestant, went to a Catholic High School and now teaches in both a Catholic High School and an Islamic k-12 school. When she works in the Islamic school, she wears a scarf covering her head, not out of pressure but for respect for their culture. She also lets her students know that she is Christian, but wants to show them that you should respect other people's culture. Compared with one of her colleagues who brings in Bacon sandwiches and doesn't really care, I think it's a nice outlook to have.
The thing with a beard is that whilst it hides some features, it doesn't hide other features such as your face shape, nose, brow and forehead. I don't like talking in person to people in sunglasses or with their face obstructed, maybe this is a western habit bred into me, but I just don't feel as much trust for the person as I would if I could see their face and eyes.
I don't really like the law being enforced, it should be a choice, but by the same token, it should perhaps be more like the rules in petrol stations and banks with crash helmets, you need to take them off before being served. I don't know what would be right though.

Oh, there's no doubt we've lost The Ashes. So well done to England. They were certainly the better team. However, I think England should play to win this one. They're playing it a little safe now.
Get Australia in and destroy them. Big hitting and lots of wickets in a few hours. That would be cricket!
Yeah come-on Vaughan you can declare now and we can have some 20:20 style action....... It's 8 an over required now!

Despite all the marketing hype about Microsoft having an entire "Mac team" that's dedicated to the platform writing all this software? It feels more like they're pressured by the rest of the company to "not make Office for Mac TOO good or functional", lest it hurt sales of Windows. (More profitable for Microsoft if they can get Mac users to buy Office for Mac first, decide it doesn't do everything they need, and proceed to buy a Windows license AND an Office for Windows license to run it virtualized, or even to buy a separate Windows PC for the purpose.)
Back in the PowerPC days, I remember the excuse for poor spreadsheet performance was constantly "a limitation of the CPU itself, because of the way it handles math functions internally". But now we've been on Intel for a while, and we're still not seeing good performance in Excel for OS X.
Whilst the overall suite is much better than the 2008 version I have to say the performance of Excel on the Mac is just extremely poor when copying chunks of rows to another sheet it's just painful.
Only talking maybe 10,000 rows and it borks - having used Excel on Windows for many years, including the latest versions capable of handling million row spreadsheets, the performance overall of the Mac version is crap.
Very near to being a great suite but I wonder if they have the inclination to resolve and improve.....

iPod 1G-3G
iPod photo 4G
iPod video 5G/5.5G
iPod nano

iPod movie
The iPod's 6G, IMO, would have a real good WiFi solution and maybe a 100G HD, but I personally expect something like that later on.
The iPod movie (as I would call it) could be released sooner (hopefully to blow the Zune out of the water) and get a head start on touchscreen and true video.
of course iPod movie could do music and the iPod video already does video.
the next step is to integrate a camera and phone. I think the way to do the phone buttons is with touch screen. Maybe the phone and true video will be in one because of the touch-screen?
then again, who knows.
rumors are cool

I was in agreement with you until you started into the "over rumoured" camera phone integration crap...
Would you really want a touch screen phone?...I need tactile feedback...aka buttons.
also,
Hard drive in a phone...I don't think so
ipod movie player with flash memory storage...I don't think so (not in the next few years, at least).

Oh come on .. Well know why this was done. Just go read the post about when it was released. I could see this coming a mile away. Either a they would do this or b they would start doing the audits they talk about with educational purchases. There must have been atleast 50 people who blatantly posted about abusing the discount on a "public forum" and hundreds maybe thousands more who thougt of it. Lets say I owned a store and I saw a forum online where 50 plus people said they knew a way to rip off my store, do you think I would leave it vulnerable? I dont know ... maybe this is the reason or maybe it isnt but I think ts great they did it. Because now all the people who thought they could do this and thought its no different from walking in a store and walking out with out paying for an item, will have to mow a few more lawns or bag a few more grocerys and pay what the rest of the honest people out there will. I know I know I am sounding uber negative here but not nearly as negative as someone trying to justify stealing on a "public forum".

Guess what - now a bunch of people who were going to buy this won't buy anything and just wait. Great. You're so obsessed with calling it stealing - HEY - guess what - Apple still makes money off of it and last time I checked making $ is better than not making $. We even see legitimate edu customers getting shafted by this. One poor guy's g/f is now stuck with an e-machine. Yeah that's just wonderful. Is it stealing if you go to Amazon.com and get the $100 discount on the MacBook? That's all it is - a $100 discount (historically speaking) and apple is, in fact, in the business of 1 - Making $ and 2- Increasing user-base (which results in making money). Hurry hurry, quick quick. Grab a calculator. What is greater. 10%*899*1000(just a guess as to how many purchases would be made by people who otherwise aren't going to get a Mac) or 0*0*0. That's right - if you sell things at any profit margin to people who otherwise wouldn't buy anything you are still doing better!!!!!!!!!! Get an economic brain in your head - or better yet - grab some common sense and get off your high horse.
