so, only about 600 volts this year? seems low.
600 Volt's so far. Production is still ramping up. A dealer in my area I know has sold out of his allotment for the year.

I use an app called Nocturne. There's an option to invert the menu bar, and I think its kick ass :)

@wilw posted this (http://twitpic.com/47aisk) funny pic earlier, so I did what any right minded person would do: Make a desktop theme out of it. It's subtle, but there's date, time, weather and itunes info in there.

Bleh, so much plagiarism. I don't think the name is too bad but when I read about the Wii Sports and Eyepet ripoffs... yea. No thanks! I, and millions others, already have them ta.

Little update.
JoyRide is quite fun. Menu system is rubbish though. But the game itself works surprisingly well. There's a lot of leniency built into it to accommodate the motion controls. Graphics are clean, shatp and colourful. The ovefly leniency controls prevents it being a frustration festival. But like I say menu system is pants.
Kinnect Sports is fun and frantic. Enjoy the bowling - it's certainly as fun as Wii Bowling so I can see it being a party game winner. Table tennis is awesome too.
What I like about most Kinnect games so far is Avatar support. It is long overdue since Microsoft introduced them.
Of all the Kinect games the biggest criticism is with the menu system. Only Dance Central has got it spot on - intuitive & responsive.

I'm totally there. For the last few months researching my next Mac laptop purchase, I was settled on the 13" Air. The max spec'd out version is way out of my price range though.
I then looked at the 11" mostly for money reasons and rave reviews from those that had used one. I priced it out and the max version of that one was nearly the same price as the 13" I settled on (128GB/4GB). So I switched back to the 13".
Now I'm leaning towards the 11" again. I personally HATE fan noise after the last few years using a 15" Pro, and the 11" Air seems to be the quietest portable available from most accounts. I'm sad that I'll have to sacrifice gaming after the Sandy Bridge refresh, but I will just have to catch up on my console backlog instead.

I don't really mind when the 5th iPhone comes out, it will release when it releases. I do plan to sidegrade to the white iPhone 4, can't wait. Simply put my black iPhone 4 on ebay or craigslist and take the cash from that and buy an unlocked iPhone 4 white from AT&T. I always forget that the iPhones are worth more than the contract price on the secondary market.
So as long as I don't turn the line off, just switch the hardware, it's a non-issue contract wise. I've wanted the white phone from the get go.
Plus it's been less than a year since the iPhone 4 was released!
It amazes me people expect an upgrade every year, when for so many years it took two to three years to see a cell phone upgrade or change (the razor).

While a neat technology, it's a bit of a stretch to really call this "glasses-free 3D". Unlike the 3DS, where actual illustion of depth is present, this is just changing the perspective on a rendered 3D object on the screen based on head position. The image that the left and right eye sees are the same, thus no actual "3D" effect.

People with PCs must not leave their houses much...I've been to coffee shops and airports all over, and it seems about half of the laptops I see are Apple.
There's something strange about coffee shops and Mac laptops. They seem to attract the same crowd. Hanging out in coffee bars toying on a Macbook - it does have a certain, almost clicheed, image, doesn't it?

:cool: I'm really puzzled what you people see good at this. This is pure *****.
Apple took the best small flash-based player in the world and made it the worst. With direct USB plug, you had amazing portability, still had MP3 player and good take it wheever you want. I regularly used to transfer small files from/to work, exchange files with friends etc.
With this, I would need to carry that stupid dock as well. :mad:
So it still has no screen at all, now has no USB as well, but it has the hinge. Wow.
The worst piece of "design" ever offered by Apple. Probably designed by a person that never actually used Shuffle in real life.
I have an 1st generation shuffle and an black 4G Nano. Love both, each for its own settings (Nano on long trips, shuffle on short ones and lab-work). However, I used to have the shuffle in my shirts pocket with the effect that whenever I am bending over to pick something up or so it falls out. So, I love the hinges - and it got smaller too. Granted, no dock (would have been nice) but I usually use a Memory stick anyway so no real loss here (and I still have my old shuffle).:p

A more fluid UI. Things should move the way they do when you are in expose and hit the space bar and then toggle between windows--that looks and feels fluid. You should be able to work with one window at a time with only it highlighted the way a window is highlighted in expose (so basically the expose interface, but let you edit the active window). To be clear, I do also mean that the rest of the screen would still be dimmed. When you hover over the menu bar it would light up, and the dock would etc, as well. But I think an environment where only the front window is lit could be marvelous in certain scenarios. As it is now, when you click on a window you've found through expose and you return to the jumble of windows, it's just sort of overwhelming. Also, expose will help you find a window you've dragged to the bottom of the screen, but once you find it with expose and click on it, it'll still be hidden at the bottom of the screen instead of moving to middle of the screen.
The dock at the bottom of the with naked icons that lap over other windows is too overwhelming looking too. Make all icons a square-ish shape like iOS icons and make the dock something much simpler than the shimmery tray it is now.
The menu bar will eventually need to go away. I'm not sure it can yet. I imagine the functions of the menu bar will go into the dock eventually as right click options or that Apple may move toward applications having all functions available maybe not as menus in windows, but in some way incorporated into the windows. I'm not sure what will happen exactly, but I know Apple likes the iOS concept of the app becoming the device. When you open Maps on an iPhone, it's a Maps machine, etc. So I think we will see a move toward even more simplicity. The Mac will become more like a very simple appliance that retains its power. I think Apple is considering that with the removal of title bars from Quicktime X and the album viewer in iTunes 10.
So to sum all of that up, everything looks junky with lots of windows scattered all over and the dock looks messy. Clean that up. Apple could do a lot of fundamental changes in the UI's look and behaviors. It's in no way at an end point of reaching a pinnacle of perfection. I haven't used Windows 7, but it looks like it may be continuing to make progress in appearance and behaviors, and there's no reason for Apple to not continue changing, which they haven't dramatically done since the very first version of OS X, in terms of UI. In fact the proposed single window mode of OS X that was dropped before its release may be due for a comeback in some new incarnation!
On to Spotlight. Is it just me or did Spotlight used to be a lot better? There are so few sorting options and by default it displays so much junk (web pages you've viewed, etc). Also, if you are constantly recording to the disk, Spotlight will not index and doesn't tell you this. Spotlight should have an indicator of whether it is up to date or not and a progress bar of when it is updating. The only way to tell right now is to go into activity monitor after stopping recording and let MDS start running and wait for it to return to 0% processor to know you can continue with disk recording activities (video recording in my case).
Safari seems to be the best browser on the Mac, but it takes up a whole lotta RAM.
I am sure there are more things I will think of in time . . .

What about a thin layer of Liquid Metal combined with the Carbon Fiber to make a super strong material that looks metal from the outside. Just enough Liquid Metal to smooth the finish and protect from shock or compression.
I wonder if this is possible?
You're not going to increase the strength of carbon fibre by adding liquid metal to the equation. And you'd be talking about a ridiculously expensive product.
A lot of high end cars have carbon fiber body panels that are painted.
ie. C6 ZO6
Formula 1 sets the standard for this (and just about anything technology-related in racing.) It takes paint and holds up well.
No way they use carbon fiber. That's just a step back.
It's a step back aesthetically and environmentally for Apple. But it would make for a nearly indestructible laptop enclosure.

More like they merged the viewer to also act as your media bin. We haven't been shown enough effects yet to really see what role the new viewer will play in adjusting/managing that aspect of it. It looks like most of the "basic Motion" controls are being handled in the Canvas with simple location sensitive mouse controls, for better or worse.Im glad the viewer is gone. Im hoping for a viewer/canvas split into two separate displays option :)

Now that I got my Quad fixed(it's only been running as a dual 2.5). I'm thinking of selling it and building a i7 computer with at least one or two GTX295 or 480. Haven't decided on which one I really want to set up first.
I did notice that it seems like F@H is only using one core. It's utilizing 100% though on one core then switches to another. Anyway to get all 4 cores fully running? Maybe I'll just use the G5 a bit longer if it can bring out some good numbers.
i'm really not sure about the ppc client. but i don't think you can use all 4 cores, unless you run 4 clients

probably cut into the regular imacs sales too much.
Yes, that's why. The Edu-iMac was good (too good) value compared to the regular iMac. However, when the Merom based iMacs come out (WWDC), and the Edu-iMac is left behind with Yonah, then they will probably go back to the previous policy.
Roll on WWDC :)

I am saying yes for a 6G iPod in December, I'm not going to speculate if it will be a true video or not (but that would be nice).
I believe Apple will release a new 6G iPod come December beause of these two main reasons:
1) The iPod Nano just had a HUGE overhaul and redesign, the last iPod release was a real non-event.
2) Zune is being released Apple will definantly do something to steal the limelight from this product.
