My Applecare agreements are regularly shipped separately from my Macs, and usually in advance..
Don't worry. your Mac is coming.
But my order status page at Apple UK site, says that all items been delivered ! Obviously not true, only Apple Care.
UPDATE : Ok, so when I go on TNT Express UK site, I enter consignment number, and the following appears :

That's an awesome resource. Unfortunately, it's linking to movies from sites around the net, which means if they go down the site will have broken links. But its a good way to solve the bandwidth problems with such a site...

Premise: Capping income as described above would DESTROY the entrepreneur spirit. True or False? What is it that motivates human beings??
I'm think what motivates people like Bill Gates is that they enjoy their jobs. I'm pretty sure that almost every billionaire got their for one of two reasons, either they worked hard because they enjoyed their job and were good at it which combined with a little luck means they make a lot, or they inherited their money. No sane person who is working just for the money would keep working much after the first billion or two I'm sure even they know that they can't spend that much money.

If I understand you correctly, you don't need a hack. Once you've highlighted the items you want to delete, hit Option-Shift-Delete. You will then get a requester which says something like, "Are you sure you want to permanently delete these items?" And away you go. :)

Wouldnt go so far as to say we're no where close because geohot doesnt own an ipad 2. You think he's owned all of the other idevices he's jailbroken and unlocked? comex jailbroke his ipad 2 and he wasnt even in the US or remotely close to his ipad 2. If geohot is truly on the case, all he will probably need is the exploit comex used and he'll likely have no problem dumping the bootrom. With all his latest issues with sony, I'd bet he's more than ready for a positive comeback and more donation money :) not saying that he does it for money so dont start whinin. jus sayin
I not whining, but I'm not deluding myself either. How many tweets and news postings have we read about the 02.10.04 unlock?? We read it was coming out after the one for 3GS, then we read they were waiting for 4.2, then we read hasim had discovered nice baseband crashes, then we read about brute forcing the nik, and then guess what?? Still NO bands and unlock!!!! and these we're tweets from Muscle Nerd and others. The only real unlock came in the form of hardware solutions or the factory unlock solutions, something no one would have imagined would have come out before the dev-teams release.
And Comex's jailbreak was a user land one, so I doubt that would help with a boot rom exploit, so ****.

It's an April's Fool gag, ipad2 has not been jailbroken.
The 4.3.1 exploit of ionics isn't for iPad 2 owners, but it's not an april fools, he gave it to them a few days ago.
Presently, only poisixninja and the chronic team are working on iPad 2 jbs afaik. Comexs exploit was patched in 4.3.1 and it doesn't seem like he's going to release his old 4.3 exploit, although I could be wrong. He was waiting for chpwn to provide an iPad 2 bottom dump but I don't know whats going on with that. His parody account claims he just needs to finish the artwork on the new jb, but im pretty sure that actually is an April fools joke as it's not from his regular account.
As for all others, can't comment on other ppl not in the scene, can't know if they are legit or not unti they release. If anything changes through twitter or anything I'll post here. Late.

I did a similar thing recently when I purchased an iMac from my local Apple Store.
I wanted a full keyboard with number pad. The iMac came with the basic
wireless keyboard.
They sold me the full keyboard and then credited me the amount so it
cost $0. I actually left with both keyboards because the original was left
in the iMac box

Hi everyone - being a newbie the following:
Just installed a bigger and faster new HD in the mini - is there any way to start the OS installation without a wired keybd? (i.e pressing 'c' ) all I get now is some DVD churning sounds and a grey screen telling me to restart the machine.
If there is no way - how would I go about ejecting the darned DVD out of the mini without taking everything apart?
hoping for some good answers.

I have a 3 part tent "1 Large Middle and 2 small separate tents linked by a tunnel for privacy" It can be used for up to 12 people "Mini Condo Type" i would be willing to bring that and even share with other folks waiting also.
Since it may rain your tent would be amazing. I have just a big umbrella.

Irrelevant. Just because Android is the lowest common denominator doesn't make it better. Nor does it mean that Apple aren't going to carry on making huge profits. Consider the case of OSX/Windows if you need help understanding this.
So there are thousands of people who stupidly didn't do their research and bought the wrong product. Compare that to the millions of satisfied customers who don't spend all day whining on the internet.
That's a fanboy in denial. Believe me, I'm an Apple fanboy, but I'm not going to support their mobile phone OS anymore, which alienates MY wishes as a customer. You can do as you please.
Comparing to windows? A product with 25 years of success being #1 compared to an OS that rose to and then fell from the #1 spot over 3 years? That doesn't even make sense. If you want to make a level comparison, compare windows to OSX, but then that'd go against your point as well.

Looks like the NGP can be a game changer
And with Sony intentionally taking a hit on every sale it could easily be $250-$300

When I encoded Tron Legacy I ended up clicking on the Picture Settings at the top after selecting the iPad preset and changed cropping from Auto to Custom. From there I adjusted cropping settings down to 0 which gave me a resolution of 1024x576. During playback when there are 2.35.:1 scenes, there are lighter black bars due to the actual resolution of the video, but during the IMAX scenes those bars aren't there (of course the "iPad's" black bars are still there due to it's 4:3 screen). So basically the encode stays at 1.78:1 the whole time with "extra" black bars for the 2.35:1 scenes.
I never checked on the chapters option so I'm not sure on that.Bingo. You are The Man. Using the cropping option to set all to zero resulted in a 1024 x 576 movie with black bars during the 2.35:1 scenes.
Thanks! :)

Let's hope that's the case! My iPad 2 is a paperweight without jailbreak :)
I can't wait to install infinifolders again, hate having 3 different game folders. Also retina pad will be nice. Actually do miss installous I purchased an few ipad apps that I wish I would have tried first (Yes I actually do buy apps, just like trying first). Damn GV Connect was supposed to let me make calls using Google voice, but you have to install another app that is only iPhone sized.

Not to rain on your parade but there will never be a game that requires 3D for the 3DS. It will always be optional because not everyone can use it/see it or at the very least can play it for as long before they are fatigued. Game designers probably won't be too keen to limit their market like that for something that would work just as well as a 2D game.
That was kinda my point... I don't know how well the 3Ds will do and if it is successful it isn't going to be because of the 3D. For the 3D to really have much affect I think on making a game player successful, it would have to be part of the experience, not just an add on to make the game prettier. And I think I mentioned I don't think they can do that with 3D (and not cause not everyone can see it, but because I'm not sure what you would really *need* 3D in order to play a game. Unless it was stuff like look behind boxes but I am pretty sure the 3D implemented in the 3Ds isn't capable of doing stuff like that).
As far as iOS gaming and the virtual joystick kludge, I agree. It is like how in some very early console games/programs you had a full on mouse cursor that you controlled with the D-pad. How long did it take them to figure out that was a horrible idea? You have to design for the device, and not many developers are doing it (great examples of how not to do it are the various RPGs with maybe the exception of Battleheart but even that is a bit clunky). Personally, I hope someone ports a game like Aquaria or Ocarina of Time because I think touch based gaming is much better at music than console or keyboard & mouse because it can just give you a keyboard or some other simulation.
I don't know if I said *that* more than I don't think the ipad will make up for lack of buttons to have some advantage over consoles.
I have played joystick games on the iphone and I still enjoy them. Sure, they would be better on another console, but just my own selfish reasons i don't really want to be stuck with just angry bird type games on my iphone. But, so far, I haven't had to. I've found plenty of good rpgs (though honestly for turn based ones I don't think you need buttons to play them, in some ways touch screen is nicer. Instead of having to scroll through a list to pick who you want to fight or what action you want to take, you just tap it) and racing games. And even enjoy the Prince of Persia and Assassin's creed port (both use virtual sticks). The virtual controls are more clunky than a dpad (or even better, a joystick) but they don't make the game unfun to me :). So I personally would vote to still get games that use joysticks as well, even if they have to use a virtual joystick.
Though I suppose if you were to make a game kinda like the for the iphone, you could probably implement some way that you use the iphone's strengths instead as controls.

I'm going to be heading down to BB on 2100 South in a few. Are you (alfmoonspace) still the only lonely person in line?

Convenience is the key. Everyone carries their cell phone with them so it's way more convenient to pull it out and play a casual game than a separate portable game device.
I think it's going to kill devices like the DS as the games get better and the smart phone platforms more powerful. It's not going to happen tomorrow, but portable game systems days are numbered.
I absolutely agree, with the exception that portable game systems will be forgotten entirely. Theres a HUGE market for pre-cellphone owning kids who love their portable games. It's much more likely for a parent to buy their 7 year old a DS, than an iPod touch or iPhone...I certainly would want to limit their access to games alone.

The temperatures under full load when running prime 95 are 73 for CPU A and 63 for CPU B.
Tad higher than I'd like, but can probably be lived with (assuming the reported data is even accurate).
So partition the Array in Windows using something like Partition Magic ? As otherwise I believe the default disk management utility in Windows cannot partition in HFS?
Not sure how Partition Magic would work with an array (never tried it).
I just use the OS's ability to partition, or on occasion, Acronis True Image (use it for backup and cloning under Windows, but it also has a partition tool in it).
