Apple marketing don't think those things matter. You can find all the info easily at ark.intel.com and the information is in plenty of threads in the iMac subforum.
21 inch base = Core i5 2400S
21 inch high = Core i5 2500S
21 inch bto = Core i7 2600S
27 inch base = Core i5 2500S
27 inch high = Core i5 2400
27 inch bto = Core i7 2600
Here is a link that compares all processors used: http://ark.intel.com/Compare.aspx?ids=52208,52211,52215,52207,52213
Thanks. Interesting only the BTO cpus have hyperthreading.

I don't think it would be a surprise to anyone to hear there's a generous mark-up on Apple products. It's for the consumer to decide if that's worth paying for or not. There are market forces after all, if it was too expensive, not enough people would buy them - but that doesn't seem to be a problem they're having at the moment.
Still, they are more than the sum of their parts, other companies are free to pick those parts off the shelf and put together something the same or better than the iMac for less. None of the competitors have impressed me with their attempts so far though. I'd be interested to see the cost of the 27" IPS display as well, doesn't strike me as a bargain bucket component.
It's not a bargain. Dell UltraSharp U2711 is a 27" monitor with exactly the same panel as iMac. Costs - $950. And given that monitor tech is not progressing anywhere near as fast as CPUs and other components (so it makes sense to keep these nice monitors for 5...8 years), to me, buying all-in-one computer makes no sense.

False.
You guys do realize apple has been designing this phone for probably a year and a half at this point right?
Design has nothing to do with it. It is a function of availability of parts. If the parts are not being made yet, the phone can't be manufactured. I am hoping Apple is waiting for the second generation LTE chips.

Does it fix the mute button? maybe its just mine but it vibrates when I switch it both ways and some doesn't vibrate when switched to silent.
Have the same issue, but no jailbreak.

Also, my internet connection is a T1 and I have seen it go up to 5mb down 3mb up.
Then it isn't a T1.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Signal_1
3mbit/sec is still pretty slow for this. That's only 375K bytes/sec. A 600MB media file (the size of a CD, and apx. the size of an H.264-compressed full-length SD video) would take about a half-hour to transfer.
Now, with my 30mbit/sec Internet service, I expect to be able to transfer, from the biggest sites anyway, at maybe 20mbit/sec. At certain times of the day, I get the full 30. At 20, though, that 30 minutes shrinks to 4 minutes.
Depending on what kind of connections your users have, you could frustrate the heck out of them with this setup.
MOST businesses have no legitimate need for running online servers in-house. Certainly, for the typical web hosting, it almost never makes sense to do it in-house. Because of the large amount of storage needed in this case, though, what makes sense is probably co-location. You do need to minimize the physical size, because one component of colo charges is how many "U" (=1.75 inch) units the equipment occupies.
Colo facilities typically have "hands-on" support available. It can be fairly expensive (like $50/hour) but how long does it take to swap a hard drive? And with a RAID array, you could probably get by with no attention for a little while. If the place is in-town, you can go there yourself to replace a drive if needed. Otherwise, you give them a spare or two, and if something happens, they charge you, say, 15 minutes to swap out the drive (which will take them 5 minutes).

Realistically, what percent of people do you think don't use location services? Esp after all the raving about gps on all these phones.
You don't need location services (tracking) turned on to use GPS functions. ;)

Check out the inventory tracker in MR iPad forum for Best Buy, Target, etc.
I placed my order online at the Apple Store and have been waiting patiently for a April 20 delivery. Yesterday I checked the inventory tracker and it turned out my local Best Buy had stock on the 16GB WiFi black, just as I ordered it from Apple. Literally 15 minutes later I was up and running with my new gear & cancelled my Apple store order. No waiting in line or wasting any more time with the whole process. Why wait if you can grab it locally?

Simple. They don't have Republicans. They actually give a **** about each other and come together to help each other. In the US- it's every man for himself. Just ask a Libertarian.
You know what companies do when they're having trouble in Japan? They all take a pay cut- even the CEOs. They work TOGETHER as a team. Amazing what that can do for a society.

HAHAH.. Israel should be a CHRISTIAN STATE and abolish their tyrannical government and be a true light unto the nations..
Riiiight. And how, may i ask, do you suggest that will happen? First you want to give it back to the palestinians (who are mostly not christian), and now you want to make it a christian state. make up your mind buddy. If it were a christian state you would still have to take the land from the palestinians.

Now now, calling Budweiser a beer is a stretch as it is and calling it a lager is an insult to any properly brewed lager out there. Like someone else in this thread stated before it's a cheap diluted ricewine with hops added for something pretending to be taste. As for Chimay, never had it but if it is in the same range of products as that .... stuff.... from Anheusser operates in, it probably isn't a belgium ale either.....
Cheers,

Oh I agree... I merely saying it for the sake of saying it since it was being discussed that is all. Couldn't agree more!

I had a laptop with a magnesium alloy case back in the days before I became a Mac Convert. It was a Sony VAIO 505-TR, and was a very nice light machine. One of the benefits of the magnesium case over the aluminium Powerbook case is the magnesium case never corroded like my 12" PB case has.

Yes I agree. What do you think the decline has been attributed to?
1: The Big Club. You know - the big corporations and the politicians they have in their pockets, lobbying to get more for themselves and less for everybody else. They do whatever they want because people are ignorant or they don' t care (see below). I'm talking about the bank managers who pay their executives million-dollar bonuses and get the politicians to cover the red numbers with the taxpayer's money.
2: The masses. They don't care about the Big Club because they are too busy watching cheap TV-entertainment while consuming their microwaved dinners - just a modern version of the classical "bread and circus".
Government expansion. Setting up entitlement programs on autopilot which grow 20% faster than inflation indefinitely.
At what point dis we decide that we NEED medicare, farm subsidies, and 50 weeks + of unemployment benefits? And who is naive enough to belief that the taxpayers can keep them afloat forever?
We won't crash because our businesses are too successful. We'll crash because our government is too getting big, inefficient, and we are becoming dependent on it

Not quite true. UMTS uses W-CDMA as it's underlying protocol. W-CDMA is a mixture of CDMA and, to a lesser extent, GSM technologies.
W-CDMA is just an air-interface standard. It's not a mixture of anything. It was originally designed for the Japanese FOMA system and was subsequently adopted by the 3G GSM people.
It is a CDMA air interface, but it's unrelated to IS-95, the popular US standard used by Sprint and Verizon that's frequently called "CDMA" as if the terms are interchangable. It doesn't contain any GSM, and it doesn't contain any IS-95. It is, however, like IS-95, a CDMA system, and UMTS, which uses it, is a version of GSM.

These threads drive me crazy... :eek: the OP has not defined what state (or country) they are in and whether or not he or she is a MINOR under state law. So, much of the "they can / can't do this" is baseless...
Schools certainly appear to have the legal right to confiscate and temporarily hold items in most states as long as they have clear published rules regarding confiscation and established procedures for the care and return of pupils' property. In most locations schools do become legally responsible for the equipment in question while they are in custody of it, and are responsible for its safekeeping. Damage to confiscated equipment is usually covered under the schools insurance policy.
If the poster was aware of the school rules and is a legal adult then he or she has the right to withdraw themselves from the school if they don't feel that they can follow the rules.
If the poster is a minor, things become a lot more murky...
When in doubt, talk to your school administrator.. I am sure most of them are decently versed in case law regarding confiscation.

He was using intoxicating substances.
He was driving a mini-van where the seat is back and the windshield slopes down.
He was angry and thought he was leaving a bad situation.
She managed to put herself on the hood of the car.
Can anyone prove that he knew she was there? Yes, he admits it happened, but can anyone prove intent?
