I don't understand people who think the next iPhone should be called 4S (and some think 4GS, wth?)

I think the reason why Apple called the current generation iPhone 4 because it's the 4th iPhone. Just because they tacked on an 'S' at the end of 3G doesn't mean the next should be 4S.

And even if they DID call it the 4S, the iPhone after that would be iPhone 6, not 5...

Don't you agree?

If it keeps the same design/form factor it will be named the 4*/4** if it's a totally new design it will be iPhone 5.

If you purchased an item that was listed as a Black Friday Apple sale items at one of the Apple Retail Stores, I urge you to check you receipt to see if you got the sale price. I was at the Apple Chicago Michigan Ave. Store on Friday and purchased two sale items (the Nike+ ipod adapter and the Ingroove Neoprene sleeve for the Macbook). While both items were listed as sale items on the in store flyer and on the Apple web site, when I checked out with an Apple associate using a handheld terminal I was charged the FULL PRICE of these items.:eek: Since I discovered this when I got home, I called the Apple Store to request a refund. after a bit of an arguement, i was told i would get a refund in a few days. Today I got a refund on the Nike+ item, but not on the Ingroove sleeve. Looks like I will be calling the apple store again. :mad:

I can only imagine the thousands of people who thought that they were getting an item at the sale price and were actually charged full price.:mad:


i think it only happened to you.:confused:

Well, MacBook Air didn't really impress me. I would never have any real use for it, but obviously Apple thinks someone will since they have it. And I'm sure someone will. I could sit here and type out everything that doesn't make me happy about it, but we all already know.

Overall, I wasn't really impressed. I'm happy with what I already have....for once.

I doubt and hope these are not true! Although, something different from the current iPhone's would be nice!
Lets hope for a 'real' iPhone Refresh soon. :)
:apple:

Glad you are back home and getting going again! Yes it seems we should get our numbers up again :)

Thanks! I don't have things exactly like i want, but i will soon. It just may take a week or so

For the record, i'd gladly pay top dollar for OSX 10.5 if I could put it on my own 'home built' x86 box with Apples blessing.

Here's an idea for Apple.. start selling ATX motherboards for the DIY crowd bundled with the latest MacTel OSX version, and let the consumer just drop them in their own case.

Really.. that would be going right back to their roots (the Apple I was sold like that)

Price the board/OS bundle package at a point that makes it cost prohibitive for OEM's to build clones with the boards.. but low enough that the 'Techno Geek' (who would otherwise simply buy a simular spec'ed Intel Chipset board and run their bootleg osX86 on it.) is buying their parts right from Apple.

Let's face it.. if you're a guy who wants OSX, but can't shell out the $1000+ bucks for an iMac, but could.. say.. spend $300 for the OS and a board you can just drop in your exsisting PC case, and use your current hard drive, power supply, etc.. you would probably not even bother trying to build a 'bootleg' MacTel.

That way, Apple stays in firm control of the hardware, makes their big fat margins, and nips the whole 'osx86' thing right in the bud.. not to mention that such a program would have little to no impact on their 'full machine' sales (because the typical Mac buyer isn't a person real interested in 'building' their own computer)

I have t-mo and their is tethering right on my phone OS. USB and Wifi. I use wifi all the time. I have to use the USB when my rig is in linux mode because I don't have the drivers for my USB wifi dongle for linux

This and all 100 games.

Time capsule is worth looking into.

I think apple is going to make a LOT of money on the renting of movies, and i really like the idea!

iphone update is very nice, google maps wins again!

macbook air... i could see getting it if i had a decked out mac pro with dual 30 inch..

for a stand alone laptop with no other computer... hard to convince me to buy it.

I hope this is a fake.What is the long slot on the side? Is it a spot for a memory card?

I think this is for the Volume Button... not memory card slot... It will probably look like the new iPad volume button.

this case reminds me of the "apple walk of shame" last year, or the "p-p-p-powerbook case" back in 2004 (in the sense that you tell the story on the internet and other people give you suggestions, or share sympathy, or blah blah blah).

at first i was gonna reply to this thread, but i decided not to. but now it's so big it even made its way to Digg. so i'm 99% sure you won't get your box back.

not saying you're not careful (or negligent, whatever), but making such a big case out of it, and hoping there is no way the thieves would hear a thing about it... come on. even if there is a chance the thieves don't visit this site, their friends might do (or their friends' friends... and so on). fact is, it doesn't even have to be this site. it's all over google now. just type in "steal xbox" and the link to this topic will pop out right there. heck, who knows if tomorrow it'll be on CNN.

you can't expect to pull off things like the p-p-p-powerbook prank while spilling information all over the place. sometimes it's good to spread the story. but definitely not this time. i suggest this topic being erased (or hidden) until the case is solved.

just my 0.02.

I'm worried about getting banned for getting it (a few hours) early.

No need to worry. If you have a retail copy of the game you can play before the official release date without any issues.

Just out of curiosity, where did the games that have already been delivered come from? I ordered through Amazon with the delivery date shipping option so I won't have mine until tomorrow. If there's a place that tends to ship early I may use them next time.

This is getting unbearable now. It's all happened, and i don't know what! Such a test of our resolve and patience...

How much longer is the wait usually?

MA.

Was this your idea? I'll kill ya :p

It's normally up pretty snappy. That being said I've normally got my head in all their new sites and stuff to keep me happy...

I accidentally just went on BBC News... spoilt one surprise for myself :(

I liked it. I was happy with the update to the AppleTV - I think I'll finally get off the fence and buy one. The Capsule seems interesting. The MBA is outside of what I want to spend, but it's pretty awesome nonetheless.

It would have been nice to see updated specs on the Mini and other notebooks, but hey, you can't have everything! :)

Well now you have an escuse to go out and buy an Elite xbox 360 in black :D

You'd pair food with a trash can? :confused:

Maybe for you...

Um, a brand new trash can. Plus you would have to burn inside of the trashcan first...pretty much build a fire inside it using coals and wood.

Well at least there will be an app in the app store that uses iAds.

Bad news. I would love Google to make a nice music player, personally. I couldn't care less about buying music from their store as I prefer physical discs. Something with the speediness of foobar and a similar GUI to itunes without all the crap like Ping would be great. Itunes runs perfectly fine on my MBP but often crashes and takes 10 seconds to load up on my ThinkPad even with a SSD.

Looks good, I've been holding out since my first-gen iPhone.

...hopefully we'll see a Summer or Fall release? :)

Wow! You're patient!

he's not the only one still boasting a first-gen iPhone! ;)
I'm still lovin' it!

The only thing that makes me call BS is the fact that it looks to be completely metal. Apple would need it to be plastic or rubber, otherwise signal issues will be even worse than it is with the current 3G and 3GS.

You're not. Look back a bit, for one of my posts.

Just knock out the wall between, put stalls where urinals are, and you're done.

Bonus: You now have both an entrance and an exit.

I r analyst. :D
