Store still down? Annoying or what?Yes very annoying! I'm trying to figure out the specs/prices for these. Btw, does anybody think the Apple would allow me to swap the MBs at Admore rather than going back to Christiana Mall in Delaware?

Most branches of John Lewis are scheduled to have them by the weekend. They actually state Saturday, but knowing our supply chain, more likely Monday.
Never say never.
Ooh, fab, thanks, I'll check it out next week. Scotsys said it would be a week or so, but I couldn't find anyone to ask in John Lewis.

So you're saying it is race, but not because of racism, but because of genetics? If it's genetics then how does it explain the successful blacks like your president among countless others?
Well, it's just a theory. Scientists have recently identified a "warrior gene" that makes people more impulsive and violent. That gene is found in people of ALL races, and it's more commonly found in men than women. However, there may be a chance that this gene is more commonly found in people of African ancestry, of course there hasn't been an experiment done to test that quite yet. If that's the case, it explains a lot.
In the US there are far more white people with guns than blacks, and far more "anti-intellecutal" whites (c.f. the Tea Party) than blacks, and far more poor, uneducated white people committing crime than blacks.
Proof? Or did you just make that up? Also, this thread isn't just about the US, the trend is the same in every predominantly white country where blacks reside.
If you place white people (or any ethnicity for that matter) in the same sociopolitical/socioeconomic environment, the same crime problems result. Many rural areas in the American south or Appalachia that are almost exclusively white are every bit as poor, uneducated and crime-ridden as any urban black ghetto.
I'd rather live in a white trash trailer park than in a black ghetto.

auto album art fetch isn't working for me, even on manual try. Anyone else having that issue?
I'm having the same problem here. It looks like it's going to work, but then does nothing.
And I know the song is there because I went to make sure it was there when it didn't work the first time.

...USA no longer manufactures except for our junky USA cars.
January 2011 marked the 18th straight month of growth in the US manufacturing sector, at the fastest rate in 7 years. Further, manufacturing created more jobs than were eliminated for the first time in more than a decade, and the number is likely to increase in 2011 (Wall Street Journal).
Not saying the situation is optimal, and we're not going back to an old-fashioned steel and coal economy anytime soon, it's just that the mythology has overtaken the facts.

Am about half-way through the game again on Legendary. Some parts are very tough, but it's always so rewarding when you get past them. The 'random' checkpoints are a bit of a pain, sometimes the game saves and you've only one bar of health and a few bullets. Grrrr.
What's this about datapads? I managed to get through the game on Heroic & half on Legendary without finding even one. Don't make me go through all that again!
I have to say I really liked the story; something about prequels like this that appeals to me. I liked the sad, inevitable tragic 'feel' of the planet falling to the Covenant. There were things I didn't like - it's a pity it didn't feature the first contact between humans and Covenant. I still don't understand why Halsey was kept in a glass cell. To be honest, I felt the missions felt a bit random too (maybe I was concentrating too hard on staying alive to take in the details), until I played through again. Really like it now.
I'd love to play through the series again, starting with Reach and then Halo, etc., but I've never tried playing Halo on a 360. Does it play/look ok?
I tried Halo Waypoint too. Interesting, tying the games together like that.

Then, technically you are using his setup pics without his permission.
The least you should do is put the original poster's name as credit.
Hold up.. the guy simply provided a link to someone's set of images on Flickr. Since when is giving out a hyperlink "using without permission"? That's very different than stealing the guys images from flickr, uploading to another online host and passing the photos off as one's own.
I'm someone who is fairly jumpy when folks use my images without my permission... and I think what he did was just fine.

Dude, this software is simply INCREDIBLE!!! It is worth so much more than $999.00 it is not even funny! If they sell each separate for $299 or $999 for the whole suite then that is an awesome deal with more options for individual purchase than before. I CAN'T WAIT to see the rest of the suite especially the new Motion with Shake baked in :) I was a bit nervous that the other apps were dead so this is GREAT news!
I also think this is the end of Final Cut Express. It makes perfect sense. iMovie = Free, Final Cut Pro X = $299, or if you are a pro you will get the whole suite for the same $999 price as before. Simple and better deals all around for everyone!
Agreed, at this price point, I can't see that there would be any market for FCE.

Haven't heard much from Obama about JOBS, JOBS, JOBS lately ...
Perhaps if you started paying attention... only nine or so days ago:
During a speech to U.S. and Brazilian business leaders, Obama said he sees opportunities for the U.S. to sell more goods and services to Brazil's rapidly growing market of about 200 million consumers. He says the $50 billion in goods and services the U.S. sells to Brazil support more than 250,000 jobs back home.
http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9M2FVU00.htm
and wrote a piece in USAToday just a few days beforehand:
But in this increasingly interconnected and fiercely competitive world, our top priority has to be creating and sustaining new jobs and new opportunities for our people.
Lately, we've seen signs that we're moving in the right direction. Our economy added nearly a quarter of a million new private sector jobs last month, and the unemployment rate is at its lowest level in nearly two years. And to keep that progress going, we've got to keep competing for every new job, every new industry, and every new market in the 21st century.
That's one of the reasons I will travel to Latin America this week � to strengthen our economic relationship with neighbors who are playing a growing role in our economic future.

As for Rand Paul's objections, it's so geopolitically and historically ignorant, it's beyond contempt. It's been hilarious watching the right run around to find a consistent line of attack on this. Congress hasn't declared war since the 1940s.
This is a multilateral action with the backing of a Security Council resolution. The Daily Telegraph's rantings about Al Qaeda are little more than Gaddafi propaganda.
Hizbullah is a Shiite movement of southern Lebanon. There are no Shiites in North Africa, where almost all Muslims are Sunni. Hamas is a Palestinian movement and does not have a branch franchise in Libya. The people of Benghazi and Misrata, together amounting to 1.3 million, the backbone of the liberation movement, are not al-Qaeda, which is not a mass movement. In fact, al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb is like a few hundred guys and is an Algerian organization. I know, I know, pointing out that Michelle Bachmann has said something uninformed is like pointing out that Lady Gaga has done something outrageous. But we are told that Bachmann made a positive impression among possible Republican voters in Iowa recently, and the world in which we live has such persons as potential presidential candidates.
Sarah Palin wants the US military to go into Libya, kill Muammar Qaddafi and then get back out. Palin doesn�t seem to realize that 110,000 US troops on the ground took 8 months just to find Saddam Hussein after they had invaded and occupied Iraq, and that at that point were were bound by Pottery Barn rules per Colin Powell� we had broken the vase and had now owned it. That vase cost about a trillion dollars all told, as Obama pointed out tonight, along with thousands of US and Iraqi lives. Palin lives in a magical world where she can wave her wand and Sarah suddenly gets her way.
Newt Gingrich was for the intervention before he was against it.
And Mitt Romney is all for invading Libya, but thinks the United States should have done it all by itself without consulting allies and apparently should bear all the costs of doing so. Romney alleged that the US �followed France� into Libya, though in fact the US fired 110 Tomahawk missiles at Qaddafi�s anti-aircraft batteries as the engagement was beginning, making it safe for the French pilots to fly missions there.

As for US interests, many of you including the racist fringe christianist Pauls, are not connecting the dots:
For those who ask what the U.S. national interest in Libya is, the correct question is about broad U.S. regional interests. Had the Libyan crisis emerged before the Arab uprisings, intervention would still have been the moral course � though it would have been harder to make the case about U.S. interests. But there is a link among the revolutions sweeping the Arab world that cannot be denied.
First, the uprisings have been, stunningly, peaceful. Even in Yemen � where weapons are everywhere, hundreds of thousands have remained adamant in facing the bullets of security forces by repeating Cairo�s Tahrir Square chant, �Silmiyyah, Silmiyyah� (peaceful, peaceful). For thousands, a whiff of dignity and freedom has overcome the fear of death.
Their success will be the antidote to militant extremists � and thus in the U.S. interest � and their failure would surely turn their energies toward militancy. To be sure, as the Middle East goes through unstable times, al Qaeda will find new opportunities and Washington must remain vigilant. But al Qaeda�s ultimate undoing will be when the vast majority of Arabs and Muslims see it as the primary threat to their aspirations.
http://www.brookings.edu/opinions/2011/0328_libya_telhami.aspx
The entire point of this is in the long-term. Apart from denying a victorious Gaddafi an opportunity to create trouble to his neighbours and destabilise the region, it is to provide support for popular uprisings in order to deny radicalism the oxygen it needs.

I'm confused. Are iPad 2s in short supply or not? If they cannot be found at multiple Apple stores, why is Apple broadening distribution to Toys R us?
As someone else mentioned it broadens their supply chain and availablity when they are able to fill the channels with product. The iPad2 is selling faster than anticipated and faster than they can make them. They likely had a contract from the get go to bring Toys R Us into the supply chain at this time long before the iPad 2 was launched. They expected more supply at that time and wanted to broaden their exposure. Since they are partnering with Toys R Us, they don't just say, "Ah tough luck. We are selling them too fast, so we know we agreed to have you be able to sell them, but whatcha going to do." That is not how you treat business partners.
So they open up the channels and let it go. It is not like a national retailer puts a new product on the shelf, especially one like this, with 3 days notice. It takes time for them to get them into their system and their own distribution channels. Not to mention advertising and promotion and the rest.
Broadening distribution -- whether new territories or new outlets in established territories -- usually follows a slow down in sales growth.
Exactly, but you have to plan ahead for such things. Apple figured by now they would have enough excess supply to fill those channels. Sales have been better than anticipated.

I just bought a Macbook Pro literally 5 minutes ago. I've been waiting for months and I finally gave up. After the order was completed, I thought I'd check macrumors just for laughs and the first thing I saw was, "new macbook pros tomorrow?" :(
lol! sucks... or maybe you have an awesome machine one the way anyway. i bought my macbook pro right before they did the 2.53 refurbs to make way for the sd cardslot mbp's. those could handle 8 gig of mem and mine is a 2.4 with 4gb max. all they sold those for just 1500 bucks and i bought mine for 1800. i was a month and 6 days out of the price guarantee threshhold. i wanted to die...... but then i realized my mac is a monster in it's own right and im enjoying the heck out of it and will continue to do so for the next 7 or 8 years. ..... still sucks tho.

No. Please god no. I don't know how many of you have done e-books but e-books on anything smaller then a 4" screen sucks. HARD.
What Apple needs to do is come out with a dedicated device. Integration seems the only way they can push into another market at this point. (Shades of MS Windows with [insert anything here.] integration.)
What Apple needs to do is form an alliance with E-Reader / Peanut Press and having it integrate with iTMS. Then come out with an e book reader that uses digital ink. This is the tech that can paint a screen then cut power to the screen yet still have the image remain. In cases such as this we are talking WEEKS of battery life. Use digital ink + Apple's standard design flare + iTMS and I can guarantee people will eat it up.
Does anyone know how big this would be? It would be huge. No beyond huge. Literature is as universally accepted as music. It's used everywhere from text books in schools, to training manuals, to maintenance manuals, to entertainment in the home, to entertainment while you are sitting waiting for the dentist. Imagine subscribing to a magazine and having it downloaded off of iTMS like a podcast.
In short I would sell my first, second, third born sons, and cut off a pinky toe for Apple to release an e-book reader. This is Sony's attempt:
http://dynamism.com/images/extra/DSCN0862.jpg
No one in the market has done the design right yet. There is this huge market waiting for someone to step up to the plate and get it done right, easy, and elegant. Sound familiar?
But above all please PLEASE PLEASE don�t integrate it into the iPod. It would be doing major disservice to the emerging industry.

Anybody have advice on whether I should wait for Leopard to come out or not?
Since Core 2 Duo is 64-bit, there's really no reason to wait if you need/really want a new computer right now.

There's been a debate for years over the differences in users between Mac & PC. One postulation is that Mac people are more savvy and personable, and will do something like walk over to a girl and offer up an ear bud, while the PC person would be too socially awkward to do that.
Actually I was with some friends out one day at student bar, and i took out my ipod nano, and a girl came up to me and said "wow you've got an ipod nano as well - they are so cool, I've got a black one too." We fell into a convesation and she let me share her earbud so that she could let me hear some songs she like, and I did the same. :)
Lets just say someone got lucky that night!:p

Like a lot of people, my serial (3K437...) falls in the stated range for 12" PBs, but the Apple site says it's not valid/doesn't qualify. It was doing that this morning when the story very first broke (long before the site went down or even got slow), and it's still doing it now. The battery has been going fine for almost 2 years, and I don't expect to explode tomorrow, but it would be nice to get a new one.

Yes, and I think at this point most people who want a PC of some sort already have one. It may be an aging Compaq desktop from 2003 but it still runs, and it still does the emails and Facebook just fine, so they're not rushing out the door to buy a new one to replace it.

Toys R Us...Apple is SERIOUS about positioning the iPad for gaming and entertainment...maybe even education. I can see an iPad waterproof enclosure in the near future.

I'm not too sure how 3d screens work, but don't they devote half of the pixels to the right eye, and half to the left? If so, could you turn 3D off and have a double resolution retina display?

An "Image Sensor" is not a camera. The sensor is part of a camera. In addition to a sensor one needs to add at least a lens, some buffer memory and a controller. Sony makes image sensors for many, other camera makers.
8MP is way to many pixels for a cell phone camera. The only reason to have so many is for marketing purposes because consumers seem to think (wrongly) that more is better. What really limits sharpness of a cell phone camera is the physical size of the lens. If the lens projects a blurred image onto the focal plane the best sensors will simply make a very good recording of the blurred image.
Correct. An 8M image sensor for cameraphones is retarded because it is beyond the resolving power of the lens itself. It's just generating big images of digital noise; no extra information is being captured.
Really a 3-5 megapixel sensor is really the resolution limit based on the optics. What manufacturers should concentrate on is low-light performance.
This also helps video recording since those frames are basically taken around 1/60 of a second shutter speeds. For still shots, you can have longer exposures but you don't have that luxury when shooting video.

core 2 duo 2.4 ghz @ 3ghz , 6gb ram, 5770 apple ... :D
Nice! Did you overclock it under OS X? If so, mind sharing how?
