Are they adding some decent controls though?

Yeah... a slide out Joy stick! :rolleyes:

it's 6pm local time on friday. 10/26/07

cheers!

It will be interesting to see if Apple develops its own controller chip for ARM processors.

I agree! They'll have to deal with flipping the endian-ness of the different architectures, the complete lack of a extensible interface like PCI-E on ARM too may pose a challenge.


The idea of having a common connector like minidisplay port is quite awesome, and the utilization is all in the software control approach. Dual channel, full bidirectional, with the possibility of up to 4 protocols running simultaneously with very high data rates. Apple is just covering their future bases, and doing it very nicely.


Yup, it'll be great if we manage to cut down the reams of connectors we have now to just a few TB and maybe USB ports. One port for all is a great idea, which has been tried in the past (i.e. USB's original intention), but USB was never designed well enough to become one-for-all. Just imagine having a Mac Mini attached to a 4TB disk array with an iTunes library on, daisy-chained to a HDTV. All through one thin cable, no messing about with X number of different cables all over the place. If you needed more storage, just add an extra disk into the daisy-chain.


One post wanted everything to go thru a standard phone jack. Not at all likely or even possible.

I saw that too, but forgot to reply in my previous post... @ the headphone jack poster: A standard headphone jack works with USB as it's got 4 wires, just one more than a normal set of headphones. Apple have an extra ring around the USB to jack cable, enabling USB transfer. It wouldn't be possible to add more than a few extra sleeves to the headphone jack without getting problems with interference and alignment. Displayport/Thunderbolt uses 20 pins, which would be quite a challenge to fit onto a jack plug. Though if Thunderbolt supports optical transmission, that could be used in a headphone jack, with the rings used for power only. Similar to the Toslink to headphone jack adapters. I'm not sure if TB does support future optical connections though. ;)

Is it confirmed that we get the Leopard before Americans? I know we pay more(!) but I don't want to turn up and find I have to wait around till 6pm USA time.

Yeah but it's still �99 or $99 in the States!!
AND GMail is still free!

Well, savvy enough to avoid Windows whenever possible.

They're so savvy that they run to the Apple store for every minor issue.

are you jailbroken? do you have biteSMS installed? if so, thats probably why. if you go to SBSsettings > mobile substrate addons > and then turn off biteSMSsb, it will work normally. but im sure as hell not giving up my biteSMS for a facebook update that has a non functional locations feature (which even when it works i will not use) and background photo uploading. if you dont have the 5 seconds to wait for a picture to upload, maybe you shouldnt be wasting your time on facebook anyway.
I am JB and have biteSMS. This is the reason the new version won't work? I'm logged in but everything keeps popping up 'Error' on every page.

Is the only option to restore the old one by syncing with iTunes on my computer?

OS X is great, but if I can render something in 1/3 the time for 1/3 the price, what do you think I'm gonna choose? [/B][/QUOTE]

Sounds like your not using X.2 or a New Mac.
Why do you waste your time on here?
Again, find a better deal than the New dual 867 on the Pc side, I'll buy it.

Publicity stunt?

No problems here on AT&T iPhone 4 iOS 4.3.

This is a Microsoft level problem, Apple! You aren't noobs. Get it right!

Actually... my Samsung Focus (Windows Phone 7) updated itself at 1:59 to 3:00... I watched. I believe this is an Apple level problem, not Microsoft ;)

wow, this is a NETWORK issue, not iPhone.

the time is pushed to your phone by your carrier if it's set automatically. if it's not, then of course it's not gonna do anything or it's going to be wrong.

i thought this was common knowledge?

if i fly down to the west coast (i'm in the east) and restart my phone, I WILL GET THE TIME FOR THE WEST COAST

Phones keep time while they're off. Phone's also don't check to see what time it is, every hour, they check when they're turned on. The network provides a fallback, but the phone should know what time it is, too. There's no excuse for Apple's spotty coding. None.

bout time for apple to release a dual 2.5 ghz powermac ;)

is apple affected by that hardware thing that microsoft signed up amd and intel so that ppl cant download music n such?

So, I have a 2007 MacBook, it's really old, and it's in horrible condition (been dropped too many times).

I want to sell it to get my parents an iPad.

My dad is the only one who really uses my old macbook, and just uses it for Skype, which is a free app for the iPad.

Here are my specs, and I will provide pictures also:

Mac OS X version 10.4.11
Processor: 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Capacity: 80 GB

When using the computer, it does make some sound, like something is spinning fast below the number keys on the keyboard, I think it's the hard drive, not sure.

Also, it's battery is practically dead or dying. It has to be plugged in for you to actually use it, if it's not plugged into an outlet, the most it will last before the battery dies is under 2 hours.

So, how much can I sell this for?

Computers and phones isn't the same thing. I could see them doing it with the iPad since its a computer but I honestly can't see them doing it with the iPhone. Might they change the size of the screen for the next iPhone? Yes. Will they sell two models with different screen sizes? No.

You are saying that for everything apart from the iPhone, having more than one type of model is necessary. But, for the iPhone, it'll be doomed to failure?

Why?

I will probably be there at 4pm or so... although that depends on some other factors out of my control. Anyone else planning to be there next Friday?

I got the STM Rebound sleeve, and it seems like a very protective sleeve.

Everything I've been reading is saying that it is the riders and not the actual budget that some GOP members are holding out on. It is more about cutting off PPH then the actual budget reduction...

That's so disgusting.

I'm always amazed at how much work studios go to to keep people from watching their shows.

This is the weird reality. TV Networks spend millions and even billions of dollars trying to get as many people to watch their shows for free, and then they also spend a great deal of time and money trying to stop people from watching their tv shows for free.

Imagine if they spend that energy just trying to properly record viewers for those outlets instead of weirdly begging people to watch their shows for free and then on the other hand demand they don't watch their shows for free.

The Thunderbolt port takes up no additional room. It replaces the miniDisplay port that is already on the machine.

Thunderbolt requires a discrete controller chip so it does take up space.

OK

I have a crop camera and I know it is 1.6x factor on EF. therefore a ef 50mm = 80mm.

now here is where I do not understand:

on a EF-S lens is the crop factor still 1.6x the lens value so a ef-s 65mm is really 117mm.

I just trying to understand what the benefit of crop camera lenses are if the lens has the same focal length as a EF lens.

my understanding the

EF-S 10-22mm is the same focal lens as a EF 16-24L lens, why produce a lens EF-S, when on a crop camera you could just add a EF 16-24mm L lens (other than cost).

3.1.1 is updating some of my contacts who aren't on Facebook and haven't got an email address assigned. It matches them to a seemingly random person's profile who I am not even friends with on Facebook!!


Anyone else getting this issue??


Push updates seem intermittent today, they were working well yesterday!!

So 2011 will be like 1984

The problem is, is that your government is saying things, then going back on it. Nothing is making much sense.

Exactly what have they said that they've taken back?

Statistically African American youth are far more likely but it would be wrong to discriminate right?Far more likely to do what? Statistically, a middle-aged white man is far more likely to be a member of the KKK than an African American youth. So what?
