I don't want OTA updates, especially if it uses your data allocation. I can see it being an option, but definitely I want to be able to opt-in to. I much prefer using iTunes, it just seems to make everything consistent.

I just ordered the new 2TB Western Digital, it says it is for PC only, as it is formatted for NTSF, but it'll work on my MPB, right? Even if I have to re-format it?
Is this an external drive in an enclosure..?

Yeah, low and behold my battery still starts with a W. If I didn't have battery issues I wouldn't be complaining. But as of now my computer doesn't qualify but I DO in fact have battery issues.
I think every laptop ever made has battery issues. I'm about to get my third for my Rev. B 12" PowerBook if neither of my old ones is covered under this recall.

No, later CD builds were relieved of the whine. That wasn't solved by a C2D chip, but better quality control.
Really. That is good to hear. Glad to see Apple figured out what the problem was and took care of it.

would this match in with those best buy photos a while back showing a mystery apple product??? I'm not sure when an update will happen but at the moment I'm sure the iPad is whats getting all of Apples concentration. I hope they release the new ones soon would really like a MBP with a core i5.

34C is really, really low. 54C sounds more normal. How does your MacBook feel to the touch? Warmer? Perhaps it was reading the temp incorrectly before and is now reading it correctly?
Is this under normal operating conditions? Not pushing it?
According to CoreDuoTemp and iStatPro, my MB is usually around 19 to 25C. I've seen it reach 50ish when I push it. :confused: :confused:

What is the truth exactly? I understand what you mean that 3G was more along then some think but I get the impression (and I could be wrong) that you are saying that it is Apples fault for AT&Ts network issues?
I was referring to this sentence (below) from the article. It's false. The truth is 3G in general, not just AT&T's network was very mature.
Next is the fact that Apple did not choose a chip that was 100% compatible with the network, despite being advised of what the correct chip was, as tested and proven by other manufacturers. I bought the original iPhone as my personal phone, in addition I carried my work issued 3G Samsung Blackjack. When I could not make a call or hold a signal with my iPhone, I'd pickup the Blackjack and it was loud, clear and rarely ever dropped a call. So that was proof positive that AT&T was not the problem.
I really - really like Apple, but dislike some of their tactics like finger pointing when a problem arises.
A familiar example is the very moment that the antenna issue came up, instead of Jobs acting professional and saying something like " we were unaware and will look into it ". No, he had to be a condescending jerk and say " you're holding it wrong". That's arrogant to the extreme, uncalled for, and unacceptable. The only reason he got away with it is because he's Steve Jobs. A man that sadly, many people worship. They have higher esteem for him than themselves. Pitiful really.
Apple waited to adopt 3G technology until is had significantly matured, opting to release the original iPhone as an EDGE-only device despite relatively widespread 3G coverage

How much time does it take to switch between OS's when using Parallels?
You're switching to an open window running Windows. It's instant.
It's really about the same as a Remote Desktop Connection window - the Parallels copy of Windows is running completely inside an OSX window. The Windows taskbar is at the bottom of the window, etc.

Based on the way flash uses up resources on my MBA, I really don't want it on my iPhone.
If I really need it, I can wait till I get home and open it up on my desktop.

I love how everybody is like "I've got the CDs who cares" or "Buy the CDs they are cheaper". The Beatles on iTunes isn't for you. It is for people who don't buy CDs, it's for the future when the majority of people get digital music and it's certainly for a whole generation of kids who won't know what a CD is or care, in the same way that vinyl is now seen as archaic.
I'm sure I am repeating someone else's thoughts, but it doesn't seem clear to a lot of people.
I would love nothing more than to have a one stop shop in itunes for my music, but the fact of the matter is that buying the CD set is #1 cheaper, #2 not copyright protected so if I want to lend a cd to someone else i can. I can't lend someone my itunes catalog unless I dish out my user account info.#3 Better audio quality. Going all digital download would make sense if it were significantly cheaper but on iTunes it isn't.
iTunes just doesn't give enough value nowadays for what they offer. They force you to make backups instead of being able to go on your account and download everything you bought if you need to again. (That is increased cost on my side, because I have to buy more hardware to do it and need to not only store it but store it again as backup.) Think about the fact that you bought that music from them but don't have the right to download it more than once. They are not dealing with manufacturing, production and transportation costs of physical media and shipping yet they charge FULL price and rarely offer a bargain on anything. They are horsef**king everyone. I do realize they might pay for licensing rights although that may be mitigated to some extent by giving the artist 70% of sales while apple retains 30%.
Amazon does this right with physical media and digital content. It's cheaper.
Apple is way too greedy when it comes to digital content. Their cost is paltry to store it somewhere and let people download it.
They just rake massive profit margins on digital content without passing their cost savings on to the consumers. Most of the time you can go out and buy a blu-ray cheaper than their HD downloads. That is not right. They are raping the fools who purchase that content. As long as people keep buying, they will not change their strategy and everyone will continue to pay full retail price for things that should cost half.

I guess now days everyones a comedian. Stevamundo ladies and gentleman!
And on topic, The Apple Store, is always your best bet for anything apple. They tend to stock plenty of iPads, so long as you get there when they open.

"However, this does not mean these other applications are dead - simply that Apple is not talking about them... yet."
So maybe this explains the low price point. $299 for Final Cut Pro X and $999 for the full suite? I hope not. All looks amazing though!
I love the new Final Cut Pro X. I don't feel I need to upgrade unless it comes in the suite. $999.00 would be a great price for the suite, considering I paid that price for FCP alone, no suite, in 2001.

The usual answer would be: start with a new source, and compress that to 640x480. If you start with a video that's already 320x240, you can't expect it to look better if you later try to re-encode it to a larger screen size. Can't get data from nowhere... can't get blood from a stone.
I'm assuming hyperpasta meant getting the videos he/she already has purchased from the iTunes store upgraded to 640x480 without having to buy them a second time. While everyone would love a free upgrade, of course, but since bandwidth isn't free, some sort of one-time discounted fee for upgrading one's entire library to the higher resolution would be a reasonable solution. That would make early adopters not feel like they got screwed for supporting Apple, plus make people hope for a discounted upgrade to even higher resolution videos (at least movies) in the future.

on the specs page for the mac mini the intel logo links to a non-exsistent page about core 2 duos....(as seen on apple insider) but all the other links to the usual intel core duo spots on the mac mini pages are down as well....change in progress.

Regarding the new MacBooks... I think one of the more important aspects of the new processors is that they support USB 3.0, so without any historical speculation I would assume that USB 3.0 would be included in the next update -- USB 2.0 would seem rather silly, since I bet the bus would have to be wired in some sort of "legacy" mode that would be pointless (probably comperably complex to implement) besides the additional expense of 3.0 ports etc.
I know for me that the show-stopper on buying a current MBP is the hope for USB 3.0 and a faster discrete GPU in the future.

TechCrunch has posted another lengthy report (http://techcrunch.com/2011/03/28/apples-big-fall/) detailing what it is hearing about Apple's plans for the fifth-generation iPhone and iOS 5, now both rumored for release closer to a "fall" timeframe than the traditional June/July timeframe seen in past years.
Perhaps the most notable information comes at the end of the article, revealing that sources have said that Apple's April 2010 acquisition (http://www.macrumors.com/2010/04/28/apple-purchases-iphone-personal-assistant-company-siri/) of personal assistant software company Siri is set to bear fruit in the form of "deeply integrated" artificial intelligence (http://www.macrumors.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-on-siri-acquired-for-artificial-intelligence-technology-not-search/) and voice control for iOS 5, a change that could potentially transform the way iOS devices are used.A year ago, Apple bought Siri, a virtual personal assistant startup that had released a very cool iPhone app. The Siri team and technology are now said to be a big part of iOS 5.
The use of Siri's artificial intelligence and assistance technology is said to be deeply integrated into the OS for all the different services offered. And the team is now putting the finishing touches on the elements that will be demoed at WWDC, we hear. This tech may also be opened to developers for use in third-party apps - though that information isn't quite as concrete.The report also notes that a fall release for new iPhone hardware provides Apple with additional time to incorporate LTE 4G capabilities, speculating that a desire to add LTE may even be the reason for the shift in release schedule compared to past years.TechCrunch contributor Steve Cheney (who nailed the timing of the Verizon iPhone last year), believes that a fall iPhone 5 launch makes LTE much more likely. He currently puts the odds at zero to ten percent for LTE if the iPhone 5 launched this summer (again, not happening), 50 percent if it comes in the fall, and 100 percent if it comes in January.
A fall timeframe would give Apple a more vetted and lower power Qualcomm chip for LTE, Cheney says. When the Verizon iPhone was unveiled in January, Apple COO Tim Cook addressed the LTE issue directly. "The first generation LTE chipsets force some design compromises. Some of which we would not make," he said. If Cheney is right, that may not be such an issue later this year.The report notes that Apple waited to adopt 3G technology until is had significantly matured, opting to release the original iPhone as an EDGE-only device despite relatively widespread 3G coverage available at the time. But at that time the iPhone was a completely new concept for smartphones setting the stage to remake the industry regardless of whether it was an EDGE or 3G device. In the much larger and much more competitive smartphone market today, Android devices are already moving to LTE and Apple may not wish to wait until mid-2012 to introduce its own LTE iPhone.
