it looks like Apple is expanding by going down instead of up and that's part of the source of concern and disappointment from many current users.
Heard the same thing before the first iPad was ever released. But it is wildly popular.

Amazing price for the Shuffle, especially in comparison to the older models. Just like the new Nanos, hopefully we've got some more news on updated MacBooks and whatnot!

A significant amount of the news on this site (arguably, the most interesting news) is a result of the leaking of trade secrets.
So what's our view? "Give us all the interesting info, then arrest the people who leaked it to us!" ? Doesn't that seem a tiny bit... hypocritical?

I'm not sure how many people would want a smaller macbook. Some people I've shown my MB to say they don't care for the small screen, which always seemed like plenty to me. apple may be working on a small ultraportable, but for now the only real change we'll see for a while is C2D. Also, the smaller you go, the less room there is for an optical drive.
I could see Apple making a 10.6" widescreen MacBook nano (or would that be MacBook mini?), with top resolution of something like 1120 x 700. But yeah, it would still be at least 1" thick (same thickness as MBPs), because it would still have to accomodate an optical drive. If Apple came out with something like that with more or less the same specs as the MacBook, I'd buy it. I think there's a significant and growing market for ultraportables, especially as wireless broadband becomes even more ubiquitous and people use their laptops outside of their homes a larger percentage of the time....

Verizon Phone, iOS5 not being ready, Tsunami in Japan putting supplies into a shortage, take your pick.
What does Verizon have to do with the millions of people waiting for an iPhone outside US?
In fact, aren't most people holding out from getting the iPhone 4 on Verizon and AT&T for iPhone 5?
Pretty sure iOS 5 is ready since they're advertising it for WWDC '11
Tsunami makes sense though, but i highly doubt it'll postpone the iPhone 5.
Keep in mind people said the iPad 2 wouldn't be released until September as well.

All true, but this is just vested self-interest. All countries are in it for themselves.
Besides, the U.S. loves having an Israel in the Middle East.
Keeps the oil barons on their toes.
The USA needs to stop befriending Israel.. that monsterous state has been RESPONSIBLE for crimes against humanity and its government is just as EVIL as the government of the former USSR. But then again, zionism is another form of racism and apartheid.
Its time to CUT support for Israel.. let them fend for themselves.

Does anyone remember that back in the day's of mac classics or maybe it was the performa lineup. When I was about 10 years old. There was a little program where you went diving and it was designed to teach you how the mac interface worked. With Drag and Drop etc.
Now I too have experienced windows friends getting very stressed that the mac is rubbish because it doesn't work. You walk over. Show them how it works and due to their pride they then won't admit that it is great because they feel stupid for not trying your solution.
What if there was a nice program that just helped them into the right mode of thinking. A sort of quick intro for ex windows users. We could call it iRehab?

I continue to be amazed by the number of students at my community college that have iPhones. These are students who for the most part are struggling to make ends meet, yet were willing to spend their limited cash that way. There are at least two or three students with iPhones in each of my classes; two years ago, I didn't see any -- and mine was a curiosity to them.

then let's start something completely ridiculous and see if they react in any way. like say they're making a 7" tablet or an icar. and just see how far it actually goes.
No no, it needs to be tagged right. That can only be done internal. The EFIX on some of these "leaked" photos are quite interesting.

Just because a couple of geeks running MacRumours think this is front page worthy doesn't mean it is.
This just in, a game came out for Mac!
It's more embarrassing to the OS then anything.
You are a perfect candidate to start your own news website. And just think, you wouldn't have to do anything today!
PS: Who the ---- rates these threads negative? Ha ha! Id think its either positive or "meh, not interested". But negative?
You know the rating system is just too basic here.
This isn't like iTunes or those other similar services. Once you buy something on Steam, unless you lose your account somehow then you have that game forever. You can download it on as many computers as you like.
That's for audio files, which are controlled by the actual owners, which are NOT Apple or Amazon. Apps you can re-download, since they have different legal standing and contracts.

Unfortunately I was too poor to really benefit from the soaring AAPL stock. Even if I had bought a 100 shares back in 2000, I'd at best made $30K profit by now. Nothing to cry about.

yeah whats the real difference between magnesium and aluminum?
Strenght to weight ratio. magnesium is stronger for it's weight. It is also more expensive put even if the stuff goes up to $100 per pound it taks so little magnesium to make an iPod cost of the metal would matter little. It might even be cheaper pound for pound than the plastic they use now.
magnesium will burn in air and the fire is very hard to put out. It will even continue to burn if you toss it into a bucket of water. But the fire is hard to start you would need to leave it exposed a flame from a gas stove or tortch for some time, a match or lighter would not do it. I would assume the plastic nano would burn too if exposed to a blow tortch.
It is actually pretty hard to start a big chunk of magnesium burnning. The metal conducts heat so well that as you put the flame to one end the heat conducts to the other end and radiates away into the air. The stuff that does burn are the "chips" on a machine shop floor. And of course the magnesium powder they use in fireworks. But they will not make iPods with small flakes of metal

I remember seeing this on the Wii and being really amazed, I think something like this would be really slick with stereoscopic 3D on top of the head tracking.
I wonder if by using the gyros also they could allow the screen to tilt farther, although I suppose if you tipped it farther and moved your head you would lose the effect.

Are people as outraged by this leak as I am? I can't believe it. He just stole Steve's thunder at a later secret event. This will end up costing Apple the element of surprise and the impact of a special Steve announcement. We've got to punish Lion's Gate somehow. We need to boycott all of their films and show that they cannot mess with Apple. The mothership is under attack! Who's with me? :mad:

Just finished it with only a few hiccups.
Was disappointed in following the keynote via MR. Seeing the demos has me a bit excited now.
New iChat features look very cool and I don't chat.
Web Clip is very cool. I see uses for it at work already. Wish I used a Mac full time at work.
Spaces seems to be a very convenient way to get rid of clutter.
New Mail features might get me to finally adopt it and lose Entourage.
Time Machine was very cool.
Spotlight looks to be what we all wanted all along.
Oh well, we'll have to wait until Spring.

The new Xserver is whole lotta machine for the money. I don't see Dell's feature set coming anywhere near the Xserver.
Dell has the advantage of a much more complete server lineup. Apple only offers a 1U configuration with a single operating system and very limited options. Good for Mac users who want a server, bad for enterprise sales.

Apple told Congress that the GPS info to "analyze traffic patterns and density" (which I too, originally took to be about signals, not navigation) is only sent to Apple every 12 hours. Hardly realtime data.
So right now, it could simply be data collected as test info to help developers more realistically simulate traffic during code testing.
That's kind of immaterial if the data is timestamped, no? It would only need to be real-time for when they actually deploy it, which we would know about.

I agree with all of that except the greed part. Yes, it was wrong of them to leak this information, but I think the assumption that it was down to greed may be wrong. There's a big chance that the people who leaked these secrets are living in poverty, and it may have been out of desperation to support their families that they took the money, not just to get a bit more money for a nice holiday.
As much as you may like to think so, two wrongs don't make a right.
