Um free is for a limited time only and you have to buy a $1000+ computer. Anyone who buys a $1000+ Mac should get a break on an iPod too. There is a reason why there is a whole education section on the Apple Online Store. Without students support, the iPod wouldn't be anywhere near the cultural icon that it is. Guess what, most students don't have a set income but their patronage is very important to Apple and iPods in general. And I'm 25, Mommy and Daddy haven't payed for me for a long time. So now who is trolling. (Hint: the guy who puts offensive posts up with big upper cased red letters)
Duh. I knew you weren't rich because you're a student and because you're complaining about money. That's why I said "you sound like a spoiled brat," not "you are a spoiled brat." And get over yourself, Apple owes you nothing. If you don't like their products or their pricing, then don't buy their stuff. It's as simple as that. I won't be replying again, I'm done with this conversation.

Here's a work around maybe. Under Systems Preferences > Network > Airport
Click on Configure and then Options...
I wonder if this is a specific to X86 hardware... Does this effect ppc based hardware?
Oh, probably should ask for admin psswd to change networks as well...

I've been very disappointed with these MacBooks. All of the problems I've had and all of the problems I've heard about have proven, in my opinion, that Apple's quality is no longer what it used to be.
Apple charges a nice premium for their machines, one which I am willing to pay, assuming I get a better quality computer, but I don't believe this is the case.
Apple's reluctance to replace problematic MacBooks just adds to the issue.
I would suggest that Apple implement some quality control for their MacBook line, but we all know what happens when they do. ;) :rolleyes:

I owned an original iPod and love it for business trips. I was able to load on a stack of songs and still have room for some backup. As capacity grew I expanded the use of music + backup and it was great for overseas business trips.
Today I'll stick with the iPhone and keep thinking about the iPad. But I hope Apple continues to do well with the Classic.
In terms of making decisions on its future, the question gets down to profitability. If it's still selling at a level that generates profits for Apple then there is no reason to discontinue it. A sample model doesn't take up much room at the Apple Store and that reason alone supports continuing a profitable item.

I agree 100% with your assessment. I am certain that Apple will be modifying the Finder in the final release of Leopard (They have in every other major OS X release), and I fully expect to see that at a major demo at MWSF 07. I feel that's really where we're going to see Leopard, and hopefully by then, Vista will have gone GM, but who knows...
I don't see how adjusting the UI at the last minute could be any sort of OK. Do you really want developers using the Tiger finder for the next 7 months, and then all of the sudden Apple goes BAM (Emeril Style) and puts in a brand new finder.
I want those developers to be able to integrate the finder with their apps. If all Apple is doing is adjusting some colors or icons or something, then we shouldn't be excited about the new finder in the first place. But if Apple is going to do some major revamping, shame on them for keeping it a secret.
People need time to work with it and find all the kinks, especially if it is dramatically different from Tiger.

Haha, so can we now bill our client the monthly price if they need vector work done in Illustrator, just like we would bill them for the fonts or anything else?
I started using Photoshop at version 5.5 when I was about 12. So I was kind of confused when I just saw this pop up in my Twitter feed. I had a flashback! Crazy how we have come this far. This new model sounds interesting, but will it beat the people who pirate software? Unlikely.
Now time to dive-in and see what these changes are...
Did anyone see this coming?? Feels almost like a late April Fool's joke.

Yeah, I said announced. Leopard has been announced since Macworld. That photo may have shown us the cover, but that is not groundbreaking and as nice as it is, as previously mentioned I'm sure it won't be the final disk label. In the words of MosDef, they ain't sayin' nothin' new...

Over-the-air updates over the cellular network is a fine idea, but it's just not that important. That's not really a capability I value at all. Nice, but so what?
What Apple should have done a long time ago is made it possible to update and sync iDevices over WiFi. There is enough bandwidth on WiFi to do all of that just fine. And there is no technical reason it can't be done.
This. I could care less about wireless updating of iOS, it's not that frequent to be an issue. What I would like is to be able to sync up calendars, contacts, etc without having to plug into my iMac. What would really be nice is cloud syncing of my calendars (through iCal) but that would just be a plus.

I already said my point multiple times, the numbers are completely disproportionate whether you want to face it or not. And i don't believe for a second that it's because of racism, i think its a crap excuse and it's played out. I don't know what the reason is, that's why i started this thread. To get some input from everyone. You have to admit that the number of blacks committing violent crimes compared to their small population in their countries is a bit baffling. If you want to blame it on "oppression" that hasn't existed for a long time, while many blacks are successful and productive citizens unbothered by "oppression", then go for it, i just don't buy it.
Yes but I'm interested to know why you think the numbers are disproportionate. If you don't think it's race, finances, or lack of access to social services then what is it?

Just came back from my morning shopping...
The BestBuy ad is a total debacle. I was at the store in Rockville, MD at 10:30; by 11am there were about a dozen people looking for an iPad.
NO stock at all. Just reservations (for $100).
People were hopping mad and venting (nicely) to the manager. Lots of talk about lost customer and never shopping there again. I thought the memo said "avoid customer disappoints". It's all they seemed to have done.
I'm surprised more people aren't posting upset. I guess it shows how few people think BB is still relevant.

And BTW, I ran into Walt Mossberg at the Rockville Microcenter and mentioned it to him. Maybe he'll write a little bit about it.

I’ve always wondered about a ROC company with manufacturing in the PRC, especially since the PRC seems to want to muscle the ROC out of existence.
Regarding Brazil, some people complained about Obama being in South America when things started hitting the fan in Libya, but the US has mostly overlooked South America for too long, and South America is more in our long-term economic interest than Libya.
In any case it makes a lot of sense to diversify manufacturing locations. My company after all has its PROD and BCP centers at least a thousand miles from each other. The Sendai earthquake has reawakened the need for that kind of thinking.

Here is a copy of an e-mail I sent to the FTC and DOJ yesterday (by way of copy from an e-mail to David Porter, the offending Wal-Mart executive). I urge everyone to do something similar:
Send to dporter@walmart.com, antitrust@ftc.com, and antitrust.complaints@usdoj.gov
Dear Mr. Porter:
By this letter and by copy to the Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice I hereby notify you that your reported behavior constitutes numerous violations of the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Federal Trade Commission Act. As reported in a wide variety of sources, you have been meeting with the heads of large movie studios and threatening to purchase fewer or return product from those studios that agree to distribute movies over Apple iTunes service (see, e.g., http://www.macnn.com/articles/06/09/22/wal.mart.threatens.studios/). This is an egregious restraint of trade that severely effects interstate commerce. News reports indicate that you have already "punished" Disney by returning thousands of DVDs and refusing to sell them. Because Wal-Mart sells 40% of the physical DVDs in the United States, you are in a privileged position and are abusing your market power. You are seeking to obtain concessions to sell content at Apple's prices (which does not include the manufacture, shipment, and sale of a physical item). Apple has innovated - something WalMart is incapable of -- and WalMart now wants to take advantage of Apple's innovation.
I urge the FTC and the DOJ to open criminal investigations into your behavior. In addition, your conduct violates your own "Corporate Code of Ethics," making a mockery of your supposed corporate values.
You should be ashamed of your luddite and monopolistic behavior.

Putting aside the fact that Flash is crap....
On Macs. It's great on PCs. Isn't it ironic - Silverlight, MS's alternative to Flash, is better in Safari than Flash is.

I bet it has to do something with the Greener Apple project.
"There is something in the air." is probably a reference to toxins and bad stuff released to the enviroment by Macs, currently.
So with that said, Steve will introduce the following enhanced products:
- New Cinema Displays, thinner, aluminium, LED backlight.
- New MacBooks (we know 13,3" LED displays were ordered by Apple some weeks ago), same design, new aluminium casing, LED backlight.
Apart from that, there are the changes that are likely going to happen:
- iTunes 7.6, including movie rentals
- iPhone 1.1.3 sofware (probably dubbed 1.2.0 or so)
- Updates on the 3G iPhone
None of the banners in the past really "teased" us with information about an upcoming product. They were just headlines offering some information about which route Apple was going.
Is there a list of MacWorld banners from the past? Love to see that.

I don't get the "3D" screen thing???? My regular 1080p TV can play a 3d Movie just fine. The 3D software shared here on MacRumors didn't have any special screen... what the heck would Apple do to make it a 3D screen?
I say "false".
To compete with the Nintendo 3DS.
