In other news, Adobe Systems Incorporated feels that an income of $775M is just not adequate enough for their regular money pit parties. While I cannot/do not condone piracy; Adobe definitely knows how to alleviate a pirate�s guilt on the issue.

�755.53 is a GREAT PRICE!!!!
Aaah my ibook G4 12" 800Mhz dies last week (HD failure) and my Powerbook G4 12" 1.33 has only 256MB ram and runs slooowly.
I've got the money know to buy one but originally I have been saving up for a Mac Pro after MWSF '07.
What do to - what to do???
I agree - that is a great price for this laptop, I'm so glad I get the higher education discount. Thats the same model I have gone for, cant wait for it to arrive!

This is interesting. Quite a long way from the days of 32 MB Mp3 players.
Apple with their success I am sure has long term visions for the iPod as a platform beyond music. In a way it's a new computer platform for them.
They have already pushed iPods into education at the university level (I never got the utility in that), but with eBook functionality the plot thickens. Students could buy all their textbooks from iTunes. In fact, there already are specific iTunes stores for colleges (the one I am familiar with is Stanford). And of course, some iTunes albums already come with PDFs. This could herald true album art along with the entire booklet stored on the iPod.
iPods are ubiquitous. But books are even more ubiquitous. But what could be even more ubiquitous than a book? An iPod that is both and iPod and a book!
They were smart to give it such a generic name (iPod) with as broad of a platform as it is becoming.

let's hope they release it soon, although it's a bit frustrating for those who bought core duo models recently for the same price. kind of drawback on apple

I just bought a used 160GB iPod Classic last week. Having my entire music library in my car at all times: Priceless.
I would love to have this in my car also-I just wished it would have an FM receiver (don't ask!).

steve is right, the basic thing is the ipod works well, and it is very simple to use. Itunes helps everything by being a first class program that is always getting frequent updates.
only thing is, apple needs to let record labels/artists come up with variable pricing.
so catalog albums will cost less, and labels can get money from singles.

I think you're choosing to miss my point.
No, I see what you're saying, I just disagree with it...
Whether Halo had only 4 people, 3 of them would be @$$hats
...and this is where you are wrong, in my opinion. But eh, whatever. You're free to whatever opinion you want, and free to play with whoever you want. I'll stick to playing with friends and good players, and having a great time while I do.
--------------------
Bungie released some more details about the Matchmaking changes that are coming tomorrow. They are updating and adjusting some of the playlists and map loadouts after observing these last few weeks of play. Here is what they say is coming....
Team Slayer
SWAT is taking one in the face (being removed) and the weighting for all other gametypes will be adjusted to fall in line with voting data. Expect � surprise, surprise � more traditional Slayer offerings to appear.
Team SWAT
SWAT gametypes that are removed from other playlists are being incorporated into their own, unique playlist with adjustments made to modes and maps based on voting data (farewell SWAT on Hemorrhage, you sucked and everybody hated you).
Team Objective
Powerhouse will now feature several more gametypes, including 1 Flag and Stockpile. Because Powerhouse is awesome and we don�t get to play it enough.
Multi Team
Rocket Race is being added. You win by staying on the Mongoose and racing to the checkpoints. (Oh, who am I kidding, you�re just going to hop off and try to assassinate people, aren�t you?)
Big Team Battle
SWAT and Classic are being removed and the frequency of Snipers is being reduced based on � you guessed it � voting data.
Arena Doubles
Boardwalk and �Pro� options are both being removed. Default Zealot is being replaced with Arena Zealot, a map variant which features modified initial player spawns and a soft-kill zone in spaaaaaace.
Team Arena
�Pro� options are being removed. Arena Zealot (details above), is being added.
Score Attack
Credit earn rates for Gruntpocalypse are being reduced to fall more in line with other modes.
General Matchmaking
Alongside the major alterations listed above, a myriad of much needed fixes and tweaks to the experience will also go into effect on Tuesday, including a metric ton of small, but annoying bugs and gameplay issues that we�ve identified and earmarked for eradication. As these updates go live, Jeremiah will publish the full details to our Optimatch forum so you can pore over the subtle nuances of each individual change.
I'm pretty happy with the changes, more or less. I wish Team Snipers would get its own playlist, like it had in Halo 3, so it could be removed entirely from the standard Team Slayer and Big Team playlists. I'm also happy that they've said the Scorpion is being swapped for a Wraith on Hemorrhage, so that is good as well, as the Tank would more often than not, just end up ruining the game. But I'm SUPER happy that Rocket Race is coming back!! YES!!! I'm going to be playing a ton of that, just as I did with Halo 3. :D

Apple needs to pull its head out on this one.
Flash eats battery! Ok, and? So does fieldrunners. Guess what? I can decide if I want to spend the power playing it!
Flash is full of archaic crap. Well dang. The web is full of archaic crap. Including a lot of flash. But it's still the web, and I still need to access it.
Flash isn't necessary, you can use Java, Wookie, etc... whatever. Ok, sure, I'll just write every website I need to visit to find my travel reservations and itinerary, and have them rewrite their page in a new format.
This stupid tug of war leaves the end users in the lurch. Adobe, clean up flash, Apple, encourage them and accept that it ain't gonna be perfect.
I couldn't agree more!:)

"What?? They released them already?? But I just bought...GAH!!!!!"
- That would be me if I had recently purchased a Macbook, but since I still own a PB G4, I just like to look at the complaints. If there is anything I learned from apple is that they release new products every other day, so by the time I have enough money or desire to purchase a new computer, macbooks shall be obsolete, and I will probably be outdated too with a MacBook Pro (or whatever I buy when the time comes) desiring the next new line of products, let us call them...MegaBooks...yes.

I absolutely adore these attempts at prophecy. Bottom line: We have no idea what the thing will cost, and all we can do right now is make educated guesses.
Hence the name of this site: Mac Rumors.
I'll give you that not all the rumors or speculations here are "educated," but if I were to make a price bracket sheet I'd put $29 losing out in the first round and $129 in the Final Four.

Apple introduced the Mac Pro (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/08/20060807144713.shtml) at WWDC today. A few photos and videos of the new machine have been circulating:
* Photos inside the Mac Pro (http://www.powermax.com/articles_reviews/article.php?id=32) - PowerMax
* Hands on (video) (http://reviews.cnet.com/Apple_Mac_Pro/4660-3118_7-6625612.html?tag=feed?=rss&subj=video) - CNet

Apple also gives its developers some Apple-branded items for attending:
* Apple gear given out at WWDC (photos) (http://theappleblog.com/2006/08/07/wwdc-swag/) - TheAppleBlog
Readers are reminded that despite detailing many features of the upcoming Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Steve Jobs opened his presentation (http://biz.yahoo.com/bizj/060807/1327582.html?.v=1) by stating "There's some top secret features we're going to keep a little close to the vest."
Other tidbits from WWDC:
* XCode 2.4 was released today.
* An unconfirmed forum post claims (http://forums.macnn.com/showthread.php?t=304580) that the Mac Pro CPUs are swappable.
* Leopard Server Sneak Peak (http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/leopard/simplesetup.html) with iCal Server, Wiki Server, Spotlight Server and Podcast Producer.
Finally, higher quality versions of the promotional screenshots from Leopard have been posted to our guides page (http://guides.macrumors.com/Leopard).

So, it looks like Apple is trying to fix the problem by keeping the MacBook cooler, thus preventing the heat sink from expanding enough to come into contact with the cable. A simple, elegant solution, except it will likely cause increased fan use and decreased battery life, but these are minor inconveniences compared to random shutdown.
I don't think this is what is happening, because Apple has increased fan frequency before, and it didn't prevent the issue. The KB page claims that this update "resolves the issue," which is pretty definitive wording, so I suspect the firmware's sensor monitoring behavior has changed in some way that ignores the short-circuit. I'd love to have more information from those technically-minded enough to find out.

Now I'm two updates behind on my iPhone, because I'm still waiting for the 4.3 Jailbreak. Oh well. Nothing too important in this update. I also won't be updating my iPad, because the jailbreak for 4.3 hasn't been released yet either.
Jailbreaking sounds awesome.

I'm more productive working on a Windows machine, as there are less distractions.
What are you talking about? I work on a PC most of the day at work and it is very distracting. Dialog boxes, pinging noises, etc. Outlook will freeze my computer with a hidden dialog box asking me if I want to archive my files. My mac never does this to me.
You don't use a Mac at all if ever.

So Walmart is full of obese hillbillies?
I bought my iPad 2 at Walmart: 7 folks in line, 15 iPad 2's. Everyone was very nice. Im a 24yr old 6'2'', 190lb Systems engineer(with all my teeth)...and I shop there all the time. Dont hate...
I went to walmart on launch day at 4pm I was #5 in line and they had 6. Best Buy had 40 in line. I was out of there by 5:05 with my 64 gig wifi. I ordered one for my wife on line I got a 5 week date. They sent my cover right away, and took full payment from my debit card. Thats why they should send the ordered ones before they open to another chain.

Another shot from the Olympic Revival DDP (Decentralized Dance Party). The two hosts decided it would be fun to move the entire crowd before midnight. I don't think the police were expecting it. Roads were blocked for a good 30 minutes as people just wondered down the street.
