Would Apple make a notebook computer with an :apple: logo that doesn't glow?
I was thinking more of the edges of it

Anyone else notice that the low end iMac (1.83 Ghz) now has the 950 chipset for a graphics card?
This should have been clear from the EDU iMac which also sported the 950.

All I want is a real graphics card.
All I want is the bugs fixed. :D ...and a faster processor, and the graphics card, and the updated Airport, and better cooling, and... :rolleyes:

Getting a new one too...shame that the Apple site is pretty much crashing under the load...
Actually now I took it out I notice a minor bump in the battery. I wonder if it's just a small little screw or a slightly inflated (about to explode) battery.

Now they have "Toys" for grown-ups too.
You're taking this all far too personally.
Didn't think iPad had uses as an adult toy and they sold those at Toys r us :D
Personally? Could not care less either way.

I had a pretty annoying RSS on my week 30 white 1.83 MacBook. Typically it would go for 7-8 hours before shutting down, at which point I'd leave it to cool for half an hour or so before restarting the cycle. I am a student and simply cannot do without my laptop for a week to get the heatsink replaced, so I was simply living with it.
Keenly applied the firmware update today and it was running OK, until this. First one on the MacBook. Really hope this is a one-off.

Even though Clapton, Beck, Townshend, and Entwistle left some pretty big footsteps, every one of them would admit they themselves followed in some pretty big footsteps as well.
And, from a slightly different angle, Les Paul as well as the Beatles/EMI made huge strides in recording techniques that are still the foundations today for what is now commonly done in Pro Tools. Whether or not you like Les Paul or the Beatles, that's still true.
I was commenting specifically on 'studying Paul McCartney' as a bassist as mentioned above, and actually showed my love / respect for the Beatles (http://www.geardiary.com/2010/11/09/music-diary-retrospective-a-magical-mystery-tour-of-the-beatles-catalog/) and their innovations in songwriting, pop music, and studio exploration earlier in the thread by citing a retrospective I had done.
So I guess while I would say that the Yardbirds, Who, etc owe much to the Beatles as groups, Jeff Beck owes nothing to Lennon & Harrison as guitarists, if you know what I mean.
It's an unfortunate fact that their level of musicianship and talent may have no bearing on their success or their the ability to influence modern music. The world is full of technically proficient musicians playing music nobody wants to listen to. Sad, yes, but there it is.
But as you say, all of these people started somewhere ... some listening to Sinatra, others the blues, others to Miles and Bird and Django and Wes and so on ... I mean, Alex Lifeson of Rush owes his musical life to Allan Holdsworth (after he was done being a Jimmy Page clone, that is), so for all of the millions of kids playing Rush riffs over the years, they owe a debt to Holdsworth ...

2) I don't completely understand this business of an external card being used. Can anyone help me out? So an external card was used in OS X, correct? Don't most OS X external cards that do work, work based off the driver that is shipped with OS X and not with a driver provided separately by the card vendor? Installing drivers in OS X is very rare. Does the unnamed external card use the same OS X driver used for the AE card, or does it use a different one? If it uses the same one, it's not clear that the driver in OS X is completely safe.
99.9999% of MacBook and MacBook Pro users don't have an external wireless card. The only reason why you would have an external card is either a meeting of a very clever salesman and an exceedingly stupid customer, who never realised that he doesn't need an external card, or a MacBook with a broken wireless card that is more expensive to repair than buying an external one. But then I think all MacBooks in existence should still be under warranty, so that shouldn't happen.
So why did they use an external wireless card? The only reasonable explanation is that whatever they did doesn't work with the built-in airport.
What I think that happened: They found a wireless card with USB connector that will make wireless connections even when it is not explicitely told to do so. Next, they prepared a Macintosh to allow remote login, which is dangerous if you are connected to any network. Remember, it was their Macintosh, and anyone can make their Macintosh as vulnerable as they like if they know how to. And these two things combined are enough.
No danger for anyone without an external wireless card, and no danger for anyone who hasn't messed around with their Macintosh and made it vulnerable.

Your not paying a premium for the color, you get 8GB. What sucks is you can't get 8GB in colors, lame move on Apple's part with no reason behind it.
I agree with you on the color restriction for the 8GB models; I was really hoping for total color choice across the board when I first saw the updated store picture (missed the keynote). Especially with the new SanDisk 8GB players, I thought Apple might offer a bit more choice on a high end model to entice more people (I suppose I can live with black, though; at least it's not vomit colored or something :rolleyes: )

How about, "we want to invest in the US!"
Sheeeez!
There should be a law that states anytime a US company chooses to manufacture something outside the US, the company must post a clearly-articulated-less-than-25-page document stating AND COMPARING why the US is unable to manufacture said product.
Never gonna happen. Pretty much all politicians in the United States are bought and owned by corporate interest groups. And they're not out to help the average guy live a decent life. They're not gonna stop until they've destroyed the labour unions completely so they can bring our wages down even more. The minimum wage is already a joke but don't worry man, the day we're making just as much as a bangladeshi guy they'll be happy. That way they don't have to move factories to the far east, They can just build them right here in the massive suburban poverty stricken areas of the united states. Then We'll be making iPhones at sh.it wages for the rich easterners! Yeehow! America Number 1?!.......... No?
It's a sad world. If every country could just agree on laws that would secure a decent wage for everyone this sh.it wouldn't be going on.

I could care less about the Beatles, but if this means the whole "Apple" issue is amicably and finally resolved, then I think it's outstanding. :)
Do you mean "couldn't care less", because otherwise your post is pretty confusing.
I'm not a big Beatles fan, but I'd probably buy 1 or 2 songs if they put em on iTunes. Even so, I think this would be a deal maker for a lot of people. Especially if they come out with a Beatles branded iPod.

This sucks. I was going to buy my ticket when I got home from work. By the time I got home, it was already sold out.
You and a few other thousand engineers. What hasn't been said is how many tickets were sold. I would be curious to see if Apple limited the amount of tickets the first round to get hype and "additional tickets" will go on sale later this week.

Has anyone beat it on legendary? Is there a different ending?
I haven't finished my Legendary run yet, but I've talked with people who have, and as of right now, there is no extra ending for Legendary. There are a bunch of hidden items in the game (Data Pads, Gold Ranger Elites, Switches, etc), and people are thinking that completing some, or all of these things, in conjunction with Legendary difficulty, might yield a different ending. We'll have to wait and see. It just wouldn't be a Halo game without a special ending. And, given this is Bungie's last Halo, it would be really strange if they didn't include one.

predictions:
Core 2 Duo Imacs
True Video ipod
bumped nano harddrives(new enclosure?)

Their sells are not on that less but its in those computers wink wink.
Can you rephrase that sentence? I have no clue what you just said (I suspect you meant sales rather than sells... sells = verb, sales = plural noun).
And for some reason it is bugging me and I want to know what you meant, but I really can't parse your grammar there.
Should the first part be "Their sales are not on that much"? and what is in those computers and what has that got to do with their sales not being on that much?
As I said, I'm really completely confused by that sentence.
