Hi Guys,
I wanted to get your opinions on something.
Recently, Apple added a whole bunch of free online seminars on it's seminars page (you can get there from the Hot News page).
In a number of the seminar descriptions, they speak about the "awesome power" of the "Power Mac G5 Quad" (which is true), and they keep calling it "new" on more than one occasion (it's close to a year old now).
This is interested to me since there's speculation that the "Mac Pro" will be unveiled at the WWDC (hoping). The release of these seminars, and the fact that they promote the quad and call it "new", means that:
a) They're desperately trying to sell as many of these machines as possible because they haven't sold enough of them and before their Intel counterparts are released, and/or,
b) The new "Mac Pro" quad will not be coming out until the year end - perhaps only a mid-range "Mac Pro" will be unveiled @ the WWDC.
What do you guys think?
Regards,
Filmguy
Those seminars come up periodically. I think they're just on an automatic reload when it comes to the right time.
Apple won't give anything away before an event, especially not days before. The best leaks come a few hours before the event kicks off.

750 GB... that is just insane, especially for a consumer Mac! :D Apple is getting nicer and nicer when it comes to offering more configuration options.
That's a whole lot of porn...

No! Not Phil please! I know he is a great guy and he is very good at what he does...technical stuff. But I don't really feel anything from him emotionally. Apple needs a keynote speaker who inspires us and Phil doesn't do that. What about Jonathan Ives? He has the ability to see the future just like Jobs does and whenever I see him speak in an iPod promo he I really feel like he believes in what he is doing. I'd love to see him take over.

We were in Ireland last year and shocked at how much advertising there was for Bud. The story of it being so popular in Ireland was that Budweiser was advertising the heck out of it and trying to paint Guinness as an "old man's beer" and Budweiser as the hip, young, sporty drink.
As for not liking beers? tsk tsk... It just means you haven't tried the right one.
Personally, I wouldn't serve Bud to my worst enemy. Then again, I'm spoiled. My local beer store stocks 800+ brews from around the world. I've had some amazing ones (Alley Kat - Kilt Lifter is a fave from my home town) and some horrible ones (A brew we had while vacationing in Botswana that I'm glad I can't remember the name of)

But aren't you just assuming that there will be a "No Contract" price option either on the white iP4 or 5 for that matter?
Please correct me if I am wrong but there never used to bea no contract option. That was something that came to be later on and there is no guarantee that it will be available on the new phones. RIGHT?
See that's exactly what I thought too at first. Apple and AT&T when the iPhone 4 first launched didn't advertise it anywhere. Until I was actually in the AT&T store at launch, the employee at the counter at first said my line wasn't available for a contract upgrade. I was about to leave when he said wait we can offer you a non-contract phone that can be used on your current line.
So while it's not advertised in the papers, it's actually been offered since Day 1. Both Apple online, instore, At&t, and I am going to assume verizon; all offer non-contract versions of the iPhone 4. I am pretty sure they will continue this practice.
Sure it's a risky bet, but if it works out to be the case for the 5 and white iPhone 4; wouldn't be great?

I've been running at 4.2ghz. My volts are very good too at 1.26, I did manage 4.4 @ 1.27v but wasn't stable enough under my current cooling. I upgraded the mobo to an Asus Rampage III Extreme and upgraded the PSU to a TX850 Corsair. I'm getting my old 1600w Ultra X3 replaced with the X4 and will probably run that as I want to add more GPUs to my system, more than likely 2 more 460s.
nice! hey did i hear they released a 460 x2?
Interesting how the 970 @ 4.2 is about 4-5 min faster than the 2600k @ 4.5 on the same WU.
edit: Forgot that it was a hexacore :)
yeah 6 cores make a difference. both are still great. looking forward to the next gen 6 and 8 cores from intel

Apple killed the beauty of this method with 10.4.4, when JPEG icons started to be rendered as ugly pixellated images with black borders. As far as I can tell this problem has not been addressed. So, I'm still running 10.4.3. If this page-curl materialises, and I have to use it, it will piss me off no end. It is completely pointless.
My JPEGs all look fine. No black border, crystal-clear. Perhaps you are using Graphic Converter? That generates some ugly previews but is still by far the best image conversion app I've seen.
iCal has been a disaster for 4 OS X releases now. It is, without a doubt, Apple's worse application. It's missing functionality, basic functionality, that has been in every calendaring program since 1992.
iCal is a sad example of Apple going to far to the extreme of minimization.
All I really wanted in the last 2 OS updates was a decent iCal. It's the only thing on the Mac that continually hurts my productivity.
I've learned that iCal is just the price of being a Mac guy, and I don't hope for greatness. Heck, I don't even hope for mediocrity. iCal is always going to be slow, inconsistent UI and barely usable.
iCal... ~sigh~. If only, if only. I need to send invitations to Outlook users-- but iCal refuses to do so. iCal is slow, even worse than Entourage. The interface is extremely un-Apple in that it takes up the entire screen to use effectively. Integration with Address Book and Mail is nice, though.
If you don't like iCal and it doesn't fit your needs, try something like Entourage. Maybe coming from your PC background it'll feel more at home? Part of the MS office suite. Yes I know MS ewww. But it's there
Entourage doesn't integrate with OS X well enough for me. Address Book and Mail both work great, plus are much faster. And I don't need to use Word, PowerPoint, etc. that often. Excel is something I do a fair bit of work in... but rarely. Entourage also has bad errors every once in a while, loosing files and stuff.

There is so much engineering and math fail here. I'm not even sure where to start :confused:
Regarding C02 emissions, there are a variety of sources for C02 for each car driven. You two are missing one of the main comparison sources for hybrid vs non-hybrid vehicles, that being C02 produced during the production process for the vehicle itself. This is a non-insignificant percentage and one of the primary reasons hybrid vehicles do not blow away their conventional counterparts in terms of carbon footprint. This article here (http://theage.drive.com.au/motor-news/honda-defends-hybrid-co2-output-20100625-z4bq.html) has some interesting numbers. Google and you can find more on this topic.
Second, looking at energy efficiency, you guys are looking at such a small portion of what you'd need to do to fully actually compare things. For an electric car, there are a lot of losses downstream - the powerplant (coal is about 30-40% efficiency btw, quick Google shows this), transmission, storage in batteries (if you've used rechargeable batteries before you know they heat up), and overall engine/system efficiency. A gasoline car has similar losses in the refinement process, not to mention the transportation losses in trucks/etc. You can't pick and choose which elements of efficiency you look at and ignore the bigger picture.
dime21, with all due respect, you do not understand how thermodynamic efficiency works. Emissions do not waste energy and lower efficiency unless they carry away energy to be lost. In an engine, the overwhelming majority of losses comes as heat. A car has losses overall from both heat and friction. Probably other sources too such as sound and deformation but I doubt these are on the order of friction/heat. Oh, and go grab a tailpipe on a car after it's been running sometime if you don't think heat leaves through it.
Fourthly, power plants, conventional cars, AND solar cars continue to improve in terms of emissions, efficiency, and c02 footprint. Not only due to government restrictions and regulations but the simple fact that you make more money by increasing efficiency (especially in a power plant). A 1% increase in efficiency in a power plant can make you a TON more money with nearly the same emissions and c02 output, barring some change that increases these obviously.
Lastly, regarding pricing, at least in the USA, people only are going to buy electric or hybrid cars if they are affordable. Companies are not going to make them if the only price they can sell them at is far below their cost. This is simply how business works - you cannot sell products for less than you make them at and remain a viable company. Why do you think the government is subsidizing the Volt nearly 20%?
Overall though, the easiest way to be efficient here is to drive your current vehicle into the ground before replacing it. Getting a new car every 3 years - even if it is more efficient than your last one - is not more environment friendly overall.

Have you noticed any issues without having this file? It seems to make sense this location tracking has benefits for performance of the phone in regards to signal acquisition.If there are any issues, they have been so minute as to be unnoticeable.
People were actually willing to make their phones not work properly because of their ignorance and paranoia.There is nothing wrong with a healthy skepticism of any company that has the ability to discern your location. Until I see some proof that Apple is not misusing the data or that it can't be hacked into (e.g. Sony), I don't want Apple to have this information anymore. If other people want to believe Apple based on faith, that's their prerogative; I'm going to be an atheist (just like I am with regards to religion).
Besides, while they may not be misusing it now, that doesn't mean they can't misuse it in the future.

I'm looking for a free update, I don't know if it'll cost money, but osx 10.6.4 or whatever I have sucks. I want them to fix this crappy desktop they got going. They should probably make it so you can view "folder branch's" too. Like you right click the folder and click view branches, and then all of the sub files/folders will pop below, and you can access quicker without having to go through like 30 different folders. Drives me a bit nuts. To make a branch you'd have to link it to a host folder. Just an idea. Also they should update the dock, it's a tad boring. You know, I recently watched avatar on my mac, and it sucked because my laptops resolution sucks I found out. They should quick tricking my eyes with whatever they're doing..
Also they should get rid of some of the apps that come pre installed on their macs. A good majority of them I don't use, and a lot of people I talk to don't use them. They should just make them downloadable on the site. Also they should make it so I can put folders on the far left of the screen, that drives me nuts. I got a lot more demands, just to lazy to continue.., they just need to do a hole makeover on the desktop...

If Apple comes out with a deal that includes all movie / episode downloads for $10, then uh.
'gasm.
Toss in iAd along with streaming music and it's probably still a longshot... but I love the idea. Apple would DOMINATE the streaming market. Can you imagine the number of Apple users who would pay $10 a month for an all inclusive media streaming service? $10 multiplied by *a giant number* + iAd revenue = huge profit for Apple with more than enough to appease the content producers.

Phil Schiller is such a bad presenter.
And yes, you are seeing a transfer of power here - whether Steve is sick only he knows I guess.
I'm not going to speculate as to Steve's health. It's bad karma and I wish him perfect health for his family and friends, not for Apple and its customers.
I am responding to this post only to put some balance into the thinking here.
One thing everyone seems to be forgetting--or doesn't know--is that succession planning is very common in large companies, especially with "older" CEO'S.
A VERY likely scenario, regardless of Steve, is the board realized too much of Apple's identity was tied into one person. A good board would ensure that Apple will exist long after Steve's retirement. So, it is not surprising to see more of Apple's executive team being profiled.
Steve could be in perfect health and plan to stay at Apple for another decade or two. Today's performance on stage, changing Apple from a one-man-show to a show by a world class team of executives is simply smart business which will help ensure the longevity of Apple.
Now, I do acknowledge after Steve's scare, Steve and Apple's Board probably accelerated the succession planning process. This is simply smart business and the responsibility of the Board and CEO.
But what you saw today doesn't necessarily mean anything other than smart business. Sure, I could be wrong, and for the sake of Steve and his family I pray that I am not. But let's not be so quick to assume the very worst.

I downloaded it using HiDownload but it just kept going past the marker. Finally I hit stop, but I'm left with an invalid file.
I've tried many-a-time to download the quicktime streams, with a large variety of mac and pc software. Every time it has left me stumped. I'f you really cant watch it (i.e demand is too high/you have a slow connection etc.) wait at least 3 days until most of the fans have watched it and showed their friends, set your quicktime preferences to a 128k/256k connection so you get a lower quality but faster stream, and watch it. It worked for me last WWDC and again in January.
Luckily this time im on a free uncapped DSL line at a Telecom wireless Hotspot in the Auckland CBD. Worked flawlessly :D

They give the big corporations influence on how my country is to be governed.
If you want to solve that problem join the club. Norway has freely chosen to not be part of the EU, and has to live with the consequences of that. That companies insist on Norway following EU rules before they'll do business with them isn't the EU's fault.

Yeah but who wants to keep up with 2 when you could just buy one?
Tiny flash drive can go on the keyring, so effectively it doesn't feel like you're carrying two. (Really, after seeing how my friend did his, it looks like he just has an extra key wherever he goes.)
As for the clip, I wish that it were removeable. Although, with the thinness, it doesn't matter too much. Just a minor detail.
[QUOTE=theBB]I have a SanDisk player about the size of a shuffle, but with a screen, radio and voice recorder. It runs on one AAA battery. It cannot do playlists, it is only folders of mp3 and wma files. Radio almost never work indoors. It comes with in-ear headphones that are too big for my ears. The new version with 1GB capacity is selling for only $55 at Amazon. The new one even seems to have a color screen. Unless iTunes compatibility is important for you, it is not a bad deal just due to the screen. I guess Apple could add a screen and still sell shuffle for $79 or have a 1GB nano for $99.[/QUOTE
I'm actually a bit interested in this. Mind posting a link? My brother's been wanting something like this, and I think I might get this for his birthday over a shuffle because he likes having a screen.
