Would Apple make a notebook computer with an :apple: logo that doesn't glow?

When you're married, it's a partnership, and it's no longer a case of "your money" and "her money", but a case of "OUR" money. Once responsibilities are out the way, then personal purchases can be looked at, but unless you're in a job where you have a LOT of disposable income far in excess of what's required to pay the mortgage and many bills, then yes it's only right you make sure you have the money to go out and buy a gadget which, most of the time, only you will use.
I'm fortunate that my wife enjoys using technology, but I still wouldn't go out on payday and just buy a new gadget without at least letting her know I was doing it, and if I spend money on something, it's only fair she does the same ... which means for whatever you spend, you need to double it and again it's only after looking at bills and responsibilities that you can do so.
Good post man. :) You obviously have your priorities straight.

It's normally a silvery/metal color isn't it? - yet it's highlighted orange on the banner... I did a quick Google search and the only other image I could find featuring a similar orange icon is this one:

I've never really used iSync though, so don't know what all this means or whether there are actually orange versions of the icon found within the app. Anyone care to shed any light?

FWIW, the one Toys R Us I checked with apparently had an initial delivery of TEN on Sunday, all of course gone within an hour. Now back to the digression of this thread.....

No, I think this is an ideal time and place to deal with this issue. If we are discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the christian bible, this is one of the biggest.
I hear what you are saying, but again I would disagree. Though I'm not sure you intend to do so, the argument you have presented comes across as if all believers in the Bible ascribe to a theology of works. Though some denominations might function in this manner, it is not consistent with the primary message of the Bible which is that we are saved by grace through faith based on the sacrifice of Christ.
The concept of moral neutrality or clean slate at birth, is a long debated issue and you are correct in saying that the Bible teaches the doctrine of original sin. Based on scripture I personally believe that while man is definitely capable of "good" due to the fact that he has been created in the image of God, that image has been marred by sin. This leaves man in a "broken" condition and at the core we are selfish by nature.
Please hear what I'm saying, because as you correctly point out this can be a very confusing process, especially in a post modern world that espouses situational ethics and moral relativity. I believe in absolute truth, truth that exists outside of my perspective and is applicable regardless of how I "feel" about it.
An accurate understanding of original sin does not mean that man is completely "evil" in the sense that we are incapable of doing works that would be considered "good" or altruistic. The human spirit is capable of many good things, but without an accurate understanding of who God is and our relationship to him these good works become nothing but acts of vanity and self glorification that serve only to advance pride and promote self-reliance.
Like many of the things we have discussed in this thread I fully understand that this will hinge upon that impasse of faith that many can't get over.

I would suggest that Apple implement some quality control for their MacBook line, but we all know what happens when they do. ;) :rolleyes:
Because better quality control would have caught a hardware design error that doesn't happen to every MacBook and took 3 months (and several hundred thousand sold) to become prevalent?
The MacBook Pro and MacBook are Apple's first two attempts at notebooks using an entirely new architecture inside (Intel). Add to that the entirely new everything else that the MacBook got, and frankly I'm impressed that the RSS and case discoloration have been the only two issues.

I just found this while looking for info on WWDC schedule info...

anybody have any idea what it is?? :confused:
Looks and smells like SPAM.
Yes, yes it does.
I signed up with a disposable mail account, it then wanted me to spam 3 other people to "get access".
Total spam cannon!

But I'd like it on my iPhone since seemingly every important web site utilizes it these days.

Target also has them in tomorrow's ad.
Not sure if anyone encountered issues, but I know our store receive five iPad 2s on Tuesday, and then got an internal e-mail on Thursday telling us that we will be receiving a case of five iPad 2s for the Sunday ad, and as such, to hold them until that time.
Yeah, we pretty much sold them that Tuesday. Thanks for the advance warning. :mad:
My apologies on behalf of Target if you kept running into stores that never had them in stock.

I still wonder where the Airport and Bluetooth antennas are.
They stick out from underneath the case. I'm pretty sure you can see that at some point during the Keynote speech (look for the blue "transmission circles" next to the Mac Pro -- the antenna is at the center of the circles).

Don't believe things that are obviously false just because a computers says it. A computer's processor does not run at 59 degrees F after any amount of use, except maybe if you're outside in Siberia. Even if the temperature in the room is just 59 degrees, the processor is going to generate some heat. If the normal amount of heat is very roughly about 50-60 degrees F above room temperature, then, obviously, the temperature monitor you're using is recording incorrect data. One of the worst things about computers is that they seem to be so sure of themselves!
Speaking of such things, I had a especially dull person insist that the outside temperature was about 90 degrees when it was actually about 70 because he saw it on his computer screen (we're in Minneapolis, MN, and I assume he had set his weather page to Minneapolis, Kansas). I almost got into an argument with him, but decided to let it go.

The Beatles were pure Genius ... The song "Why don't we do it in the road"
The complete lyrics are ... why don't we do it in the road? no one will be watching us ... why don't we do it in the road?
I challenge any Band to create a hit song with that type of song writing?:cool:
I get the feeling some of you guys aren't a whole lot of fun to hang out with. :p

This is a play to get more of the millions and millions of people using iPhones and iPods and now iPads with Windoze to make the desktop switch. It's cool and should work well for that demographic if they can drop the price a bit. The big positive is that Apple has developed this technology to the point where their implementation on the desktop will be more intuitive and smooth operating than any of the Windoze solutions available.
I only wish if they did do something like this they wold incorporated pressure sensitivity as it would make it more useful for designers and open doors for other uses. I don't know whether Peratech has developed anything quite as sensitive as Wacom's technology, but they certainly seem to have developed something that could be useful for a lot of people. If QTC lives up to half of the hype the parent company should definitely be on Apple's acquisition radar.

New Nanos are available at the 5th Ave. store in New York. I picked up the black 8GB this morning. Also, they are giving the educational discount on them. Perhaps they only disabled it online.
The Apple Store at Arden Fair in Sacramento, CA is supposed to start selling all the new iPod models today. If I had the money I'll spring for a 4 GB Silver nano. :D

The MacBook doesn't need a Core 2 Duo processor. Apple needs to leave a gap between the MacBook and the MacBook Pro.
That is marketing for losers.
If there is a gap, and Apple doesn't fill it, someone else will. An artificial gap like this one, when Intel's price for Yonah and Merom at same clock speed is identical, just annoys people. At the moment this is still acceptable; Merom production is not a full capacity yet, and you can't expect Apple to update all products simultaneously, but in two months time MacBook sales would just disappear.
Smaller screen, smaller harddisk, integrated graphics, these are all things that people can accept because they save money. Using CoreDuo doesn't save Apple any money; that kind of gap would be just taking your customers for idiots. And I could not possibly imagine that kind of thinking from Apple at all.
