That is a very poor speed, at least I'm getting close to 10 mb/s but paying for 30 I think... $76 a month. These monopolies we have in the US are a drag, they can do whatever they want and the gov does nothing about it. Mine is adequate for all the folding at least.

yeah what i'm getting is terrible. but it's been getting a little better today. but i can't upload bigadv results with these speeds

Happy birthday!

Hopefully it still applies to corporate discounts too. Can anyone confirm what?

Looks like it does. I checked the corporate discount page. The 24" iMac regular $1999, is $1880 - $101. Not bad. $1779 shipped.
Too bad there's no savings on the Mac Pro.

and when you say EPP why do u think that will imply to me? i am not part of a corporate thing only a "university" student. I am acutally a high school student but am enrolled in college classes...i have a university id tho..

so you think it will be included?

I never really liked OS X until 10.5.

By 2020, mouse usage will be the minority.

I'm hoping by 2020 there's something out better than a trackpad, though.... I don't like them for long term usage (not comfortable, IMO). I'm thinking if Microsoft can do body tracking for XBox, it should be possible to do hand tracking for computers (e.g. put it on the webcam on a notebook. You could then do gestures and such in mid-air (e.g. touchscreen without getting fingerprints all over the screen. You could have templates for joysticks simulations, gun simulations, etc. Imagine just making a 'trigger' finger and playing a shooter game with no stick required.) I'd be thrilled if they could get voice interfaces and speech recognition/comprehension to work accurately so you could just talk to the computer for many things (ala Star Trek). Many things could be vastly improved over time.

Firing incompetent teachers sounds like a great idea, but it doesn't require unions to be disbanded to achieve.

Unfortunately, it does.

It does not.

any chance of the MBP being updated!?

While I am glad you're 10 years old OS X, I'm also a bit sad that you abandoned your big brother OS 9 at that truck stop bathroom out in Kansas. No need to be too sad though, I'm sure he's up there in that big computer lab in the sky looking down with that big happy face he always had.

This would NEVER Happen. but wouldn't it be an awesome treat if Apple added an emulator to Lion that could run (and was pre loaded with) each major version of Apple OS's from the Apple I on. ! (and heck while we're dreaming, how about all the Next Step OS versions too)

It's in no way practical, but I'd truly geek out over it ! :)

I'll throw up at the notion of having a Turion in any apple. Those things blow.

i guess the countdown starts about now :).

hard to believe its been nine months since macworld 2006.

yes it is. looking forward to hear the keynote though. i love those things :)

i really think the iphone will be announced

Did anybody see an ATT cell tower on his property so SJ can use his iPhone with enough signal strength?

The windows joke was a good one!

Are we still debating this? No one is forcing you to keep/buy an iPhone. I've had one dropped call since I got it almost a month ago. It was while driving. It's hard to argue with #'s of complaints and returns. It's not difficult. You either like the phone or you don't. You get one or you don't. Name the last non-iPhone cell phone you've had that you've complained about dropped calls and they gave you something to help reduce the problem. I bet most people complaining would use a case anyways.

Objective Vs. Subjective.

Both have to be considered.

Pros and cons of both OS's. (objective)

What you like, how the OS "feels", your computing approach, etc. (subjective)

Chocolate Vs. Vanilla = Subjective.

Which one happens to be colder. = Objective.

For the anti-virus, yes, for office no you get the complete version, as well as MS live.

Depending on where you buy, you actually can get more "full" versions of applications then you do with a mac. I'm not knocking apple or iLife, they're great apps, but you cannot say that a new PC is unusable until you download a lot of apps and such. Dell, HP, etc all come with office and/or other apps. Yeah there's crapware installed and I won't dispute that, but you also get full version apps

I don't think so. Really office for free?

Fake, the hand looks all wrong. He has creepier thumbs than Megan fox!!!:eek:

Guessing you guys never played Rust a lot in MW2. Talk about getting killed as soon as you spawn. Rust along with Terminal was a perfect knifing map. :D
Yea, Rust was just as bad, same with Shipment in COD4. Those types of small maps are fun, like once every 50 games or so, just to break the flow a little, and run and gun. And I don't really have a problem with Nuketown itself, per se, but when you have totally abysmal spawns, it just sucks. If the spawns were better, my view of many maps would be much more favorable. I'm looking at you Array and Summit :mad:

@SPEEDwithJJ: Watch the Family Guy episode "New Kidney in Town" and you'll know :D

Untrue. The iPhone is the only phone affected this way.

I laughed at this.

So you mean to say that holding any other phone will never change the reception at all? HA!! Have you read your cell phone's user guide? On one of the first pages they have a diagram of how to hold the phone so as not to lose as much reception. Get a life, and stop calling me fanboy (assuming you're one of "those" people) because I can enjoy a perfectly usable phone more than you can.

meh. While it may or may not happen soon in the portables, I really would like to see at least the option sometime next year to get an AMD 4x4 based Mac Pro instead of Intel's pseudo quad-core...

http://www.wired.com/news/technology/computers/0,72126-0.html?tw=wn_index_5

I say AMD-based macs will definitely happen. I also say that Apple will not abandon Intel. They will merely offer various machines with your choice based on chips from the two vendors or perhaps some models that use chips from only on of the two vendors while other models let you choose, just as pretty much every single PC maker does these days. All this panic about "Apple wouldn't abandon Intel already", etc. is just silliness. Nobody says they can only work with Intel OR AMD but not both. Working with both is good for everyone as it keeps both suppliers on their toes and more eager to please. Why do you think Hugh Hefner keeps three girfriends these days? ;)

The way I see it... whats the point in having loads of cool achievements, if your kill/death ratio / scores SUCK.

If you stats look bad... it doesnt matter what achievements you get.. anyone can get achievements....

So if anyone plays and tries to get achievements but plays the game in a way that makes them appear stupid (like your example) let them get on with it.

I just bought a 30" from apple online and i doubt it's "really new" but i have no way of telling.

The box looked a little dusty but i didn't really care, it looks great.




I was looking at buying a 30" anyway - it was march when they updated those right? I don't think they got updated at wwdc did they?

What did you think they would do, rummage through all the non-app store apps on the Mac platform? Lol, some people are ridiculous.
Yes, hilarious. It beats me how they managed to give out the design awards every other year before the app store existed, it just couldn't have been physically possible.

Personally I was a little bummed. Yes, the iPhone stuff was neat, but nothing earth-shattering. Apple TV still doesn't blow my skirt up.

Movie rentals... Hmmm, okay.

Time Capsule is useless (or pointless) unless it is RAID (save money buy a Buffalo TeraStation Pro)...

Nothing on the cinema displays? Does anyone else think the displays are rapidly loosing market share due to a lack of updates over the last 18+ months?
