Like many like minded Apple users (I love this group), I am one that does not shop at Wal Mart. It's buisness model is to undercut and ruin other buisnesses.
Regardless of the fact that I live in the state that is home of Target Corporation, I simply do not like Wal Mart. I have listened to stories from Contractors in southern states say not so comforting things about that company. One of the companies that we work with was not alloud to have any women or African Americans working on job sites related to building Wal Mart buildings. If the companies were caught with such employees they were fined thousands of dollars!
Wal Mart an KMA (figure it out yourself), besides if they stop selling Cds and DVD's it really wouldn't matter to me anyway, as I don't buy from them!

That thread is full of some of the most comical and short sighted statements you'll ever see. Good thing Steve Jobs obviously knew what he was doing a lot more than the forum posters of the time did. That's why I laugh at some of the more critical comments you see on some of the threads today as well. In 10 years they'll look just as comical and short sighted as those do I'm sure.
So true. That's why Steve Jobs is where he is and all the naysayers and criticizers are where they are.

all this beaming vs using the ear buds (yours or theirs) reminds me of the great expense NASA went to make a pen that works in space and Zero G. as compared the Russians who used a pencil
That would even be a better story if it was true. It ain't (http://history.nasa.gov/spacepen.html).

I am surprised so many PCs are sold as it is. I wonder if people are happy with them or they just sit in a drawer or closet somewhere.

To all those cutting military by huge percentages, what are your plans to deal with the millions of unemployed that would produce?
Ummmmmmm
we don't spend 700 billion on troops. Cut the useless technology programs, give all the remaining money to troops and their needed supplies and equipment.

iPod 3G was fully touch operated (save for the hold switch).
iPod 4G+Photo went backwards and added physical buttons. To this day they still haven't gone back to the full touch design of the 3G.
The 3G had separate, discrete, non-mechanical touch pad "buttons." 4G+ eliminated those and incorporated them all onto the touch wheel. For you to claim that those weren't buttons is like me claiming my microwave oven's keypad is fully touch operated. Each of the touch pads are a discrete element. I would have thought that was obvious in the context of what I wrote instead of having to be explicitly stated.

It's true. The Mac Pro service manual is now available to technicians, which includes instructions for replacing the CPUs.
I confirmed it too-technicians who have the manual, can go to page 65/66 to see the 2 sockets.
No Xserve manual yet.

Hi There,
I ordered a Macbook on the 18th October through mac universe with a hard disk upgrade to 80gb and ram to 1gb. I have called daily ever since and have been constanty told that there is a component shortage and is in constraint.... :( Umm...I've been given the option to cancel but i daren't because i've got a sneaky feeling they might be sneeking a 2 core baddy in it... anyone having a similar experience out there?:D

How unlucky do I feel? I just spent a week in Chicago, and on Monday bought a 60Gb Ipod for myself and a 2Gb Ipod for the GF. I left the US on Tuesday afternoon. I knew I should've waited 'til Tuesday morning before buying..... Oh well, gotta smile..... I think.......
Just eBay them before the world figures out new iPods have arrived.

Surely Apple can't combine everything into something like http://www.macnn.com/blogs/?p=98.
Or can they?
I normally don't pay attention to Apple patent applications, but this one's a doozie!
Everything from 100% full screen to virtual keys, to selecting different modalities depending on orientation(!), to sensitivity to force of touch, to squeezing, to miniDVD drive, to ....
WOW! :eek:
<edit:>
Or maybe it's really the iTablet? Larger form factor than an iPod? They talk about various operating systems. Maybe it'll be OS X?
</edit>
Yea. VERY interesting. i think Apple is just messing with us at this point. lol

Interesting... I was about to edit my last post that Apple's site doesn't claim the Macbook has any slots... I can't see any in the Macbook QTVR images either.
It's a USB wireless card.
Seriously, boys. This thread is an amazing pile. "You hate Apple." "No, I don't, you hate hackers." "It's Apple's fault." "It's Bob's fault." "You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!" Blah, blah blah....
It's just a typical security report. Get your panties out of a bunch and have a glass of water.
I will say, the Page 1 report is rather misleading, considering the video. MacRumors should probably modify that.

I don't have a classic, but I'd like to associate myself with the people talking about how hilarious the old thread is. Also, here's a repost of Steve introducing the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN0SVBCJqLs
I was 17 in senior in high school when iPod was introduced, though I don't think I was even aware of it. I had a friend that year who had some kind of horrible "mp3 player" and the next year when I moved into my college dorm someone on my floor had an iPod so I played with one for the first time. My first one was the light blue first-gen mini which I bought sometime in 2004 (which still works...I gave it to my mother when I replaced it with an iPhone on launch day 2007). When my crappy Dell laptop that had been my high school graduation present died a few months later, the iPod convinced me to get my first Mac.
I hope they don't discontinue the classic just for the nostalgia factor =)

The right to bear arms ? In a toy store ? Really...
And they don't infringe your rights at all, the constitution grants you rights in your dealings with the government, not private entities.
I think that Coolestdude is upset over this -

A debate over a lease near an NRA space. To that end - spend your dollars where you want is my say on it....

The day that Steve Jobs tells me I have to use iTunes to purchase software for my laptop or desktop, or that I can't install what I want or how I want it on my personal computer I give him the big middle finger and switch to Linux or Windows.
I already think it's ridiculous that I have to jailbreak my iPhone every 6months or so - but if the day comes that you'll have to jailbreak your comp, thanks but no thanks. I'll give up convenience for freedom.

Apologies.
When you said "the" president I thought you mean the co-opted, sorry-excuse-for-a-change-agent we currently have in the White House.
(apologies too for my extra salty mood)

after they took such a strong step away from the metal inclosures.. would they really switch back a year later?
Yeah, but they have to do something about the rampant scratching and the ease with which one can break it. Fully metal one seems like a good way to do that.

You have to consider the problems that Apple has had with heat and portables of late. There would likely be heat issues with such a portable, which makes it even more plausible that Apple won't make such a portable.
That's why I suggested sometime in 2007 after Santa Rosa.
