I'd be glad to contribute to fix GPS map errors - nothing bothers me more than trying to find an address that appears to be in an empty field. :p

Going in as an MVNO on Cingular's network would be a disaster. First off, as an MVNO they're probably doomed to fail (ESPN Mobile anyone?). People aren't going to change providers for a specific phone, ESPECIALLY when they'll be able to find an unlocked one on eBay and stay with Cingular or T-Mobile (or any of the other GSM carriers in the world).

I thought/think it conceivable they would release a higher-priced Retina version of the iPad 2 just prior to the holidays to keep ahead of the competition. This is assuming the A5 SOC has the horsepower for it, and that the screens are available in high enough quantities.
What competition? It was never conceivable, and only complete amateurs who are completely removed from any knowledge of Apples own trends thought it possible.

i'm really looking forward to the iphone. Does anyone have an idea of what carriers will offer it?
ah...no one else but Apple would be my guess in a pipe dream.:)

i cant see the problem , it is just common sense if you move in another country that you conform with their customs if you want to live there , if you cant conform with that then just stay at home , even applies to.. tourists .
or whatever the nature of your visit in a another country might be
and if common sense is missing then there have to be laws
ok i know some tourists behave like a missing link in evolution without common sense

[QUOTE=zephonic;12494107]No. Hellhammer is right. The T3500 is comparable to the base-spec single-CPU MacPro. Same CPU, same RAM, just a different graphics card.
"Same CPU, same RAM" ignores all of the other things that make a computer valuable. Don't forget the case, the ease of component changes, the power supply, the reliability, and the amount of overbuilding (or underbuilding). Oh, and there's also that "OS" thing.
Just matching CPU speeds is like comparing Fords and Porsches based on horsepower ratings. If a person who wants a fast car can't see the value in a Porsche then by all means get a Ford.

IMO Apple built this giant datacenter in order to launch its own search engine to compete with Google. Why ?
<snip>
I think they built a giant datacenter to stay in front in the cloud race. With Amazon introducing a cloud service, HP pushing hard for cloud services, and even Microsoft singing the praises of cloud services, I think Apple see the future for selling its products will involve deep cloud integration. In order to do that, they need a cloud. Ergo, datacenter.

Launch FIRST abroad? Nope. That itself voids the entire "rumor."
When has Apple launched a flagship product abroad BEFORE launching it in the States?
Horrible rumor. Maybe it's still April 1st in Korea?
English is not your first language, is it?
Which part of the sentence "SK Telecom and KT will be amongst the first carriers to offer the new iPhone" suggests that those two carriers will be the only first two carriers offering the new iPhone 5? :rolleyes:

SERIOUSLY!
If this app does anything more than act as a pallative for increasingly frustrated iPhone users, I'd be very surprised.
I'm the CEO of Fibernet, a phone company who resold Pacific Bell wireless in the early days (remember the fantastic-sounding Motorola 8000x?). I'm also a shareholder in both Apple and AT&T. I'm still AMAZED that designers still create devices with built-in message such as "Call Failed" and "Operation cannot be completed at this time". Would you design a defibrillator with such messages? or a fighter jet?
Manhattan iPhone users apparently experience 30% dropped calls A DAY according to AT&T. This absurdly high statistic seems to have started several months ago after an Apple software upgrade (bad baseband code??). AT&T refuses to point the finger at Apple. Apple extends the same courtesy to AT&T. WE suffer.
I've already swapped SIM's and AT&T now suggests replacing my phone (which an AT&T company store last night said i HAD to do at the Apple store. What to the nice customers who live in towns without Apple stores do?)
Look, i'm a happy techie. Been around computers since the PDP-10 days. LOVE the iPhone as a computing and lifestyle device. But for crying out loud people, if we can get quality video transmissions from MARS, you'd think we'd be able to make a wireless device capable of a high-quality phone call in a MAJOR metropolitan city like New York or Beverly Hills.
Don't come up with brilliant devices, advertise your network as superior, and then whine that the DEMAND and high-usage CUSTOMERS are to blame for the failures.

Could you imagine...
This device is a stand-alone video player, but is also designed to wirelessly partner to the iTV. When it is connected to the iTV, the iPod itself could work simply as a remote control, displaying all the appropriate controls on its screen to allow you to fast forward, rewind, pause, etc.
Now that would be cool!

But it's actually better because we are not 100% on coal. We use natural gas, hydro and even wind and solar. So all considered the electric car is much better. In the North East they use a lot of hydro power so a car there really is clean.
To build upon this argument, I'd also suspect that the kind of people who would shell out $40K for this car are the kind of people that will seek out alternative energy providers anyway. Heck, I don't have a hybrid of any kind (yet) but I have Green Mountain power, and I don't even think it's the cheapest around here anymore.

I hope that is sarcasm.
My black macbook was less durable than my pre-unibody MBP. Not only did it crack at the palm rest as per the design flaw it had cracked a few places. Nothing bad enough to make it call apart but it looked nasty.
That reminds me, I need to change my sig.
It differs. I had one of the last white G3 iBooks, I think it was 800 MHz.
This was good looking (a transparent layer on the white shell) IMHO and while it scratched easily it lasted very long and I think the case was very durable. Ok, many of them had faulty logic boards, but that is a different story...
Several years later I hat one of the first white MacBooks. I had the infamous "case discoloration" and later there was a crack while nothing serious had happened to the notebook. The look and feel of the case was so "cheap" IMHO, it makes me wonder why they still produce plastic MacBooks at all.Now I have a MBA that looks and feels so much better.

You are not comparing like with like. The comparable model to a Mac Pro is the Dell Precision T5500 and specced up the Dell is about $1,000 more than the Mac Pro. :p
He is comparing like with like!
The comparable model to the base Mac Pro (SP workstation) is the T3500.
The comparable model to the MP Mac Pro is the T5500.
The T5500 is available as an SP Workstation (http://www.dell.com/us/en/k-12/desktops/workstation-precision-t5500/pd.aspx?refid=workstation-precision-t5500&cs=RC957118&s=k12) and when specced similarly is more expensive than the comparable Mac Pro.

Either that - or they are really good at driving to be so close without hitting the brakes (ie no brake lights are on in the photo) :rolleyes:
You'd be amazed at how quickly you can slow down without touching the brakes with manual transmissions (which is what most european cars are equipped with). I almost never touch the brakes when stuck in traffic in my car

Yea I was suggesting Linux or Unix for the supermicro build,
3tb are a bad idea for a pruduction environment cos there less reliable slower have far longer rebuild time for raid are more expensive the list goes on
I disagree, if you followed that logic then why stop at 1 TB or 2 TB, why not build on 72 GB SCSI. "Production Environment" is a little bit of a arbitrary distinction, this is a small business with relatively low parallel usage on a tight budget, 3 TB drives would be perfectly suitable. Real high performance "production environments" would be using 15k FCAL, SCSI or SAS in enterprise chassis, but we obviously don't have the budget for that.
RAID rebuild time is going to be more affected by RAID-6 instead of RAID-5, by software RAID instead of hardware RAID than by 3 TB vs 2/1 TB. The double parity overhead of RAID-6 makes it very slow, but for a budget 30 TB filesystem I can't think of a better tradeoff.
Advantages of 3 TB drives - chassis needs fewer bays, future expandability with the same bays is better, administration is easier (fewer drives, fewer potential points of failure), power draw is significantly less - if you've shopped for colo's lately you'll find that power is pretty expensive these days, moreso than rackspace or arguably bandwidth.
RAID-5 would be ridiculous especially if you were to go with 31 1TB drives, that would be so risky it's ludicrous. Two drives go out and you just lost all your data. Thats 3% of your drives can fail and you're SOL.
RAID-6 with 12x 3TB drives you can lose 2 drives before you lose data, or 17% of your drives. Much safer. Thats 2 out of 12 instead of 1 out of 16 or 31. I think the advantages of 3TB are clear.

I am very unimpressed. No Wifi, no 65nm process, no internal power supply, it will still be loud as heck. And if I want it, I am forced to get black, i don't want black.
Someone said why does it matter if their are 3 SKUS. Try this. Look at the Mac Mini, 2 models. One with a superdrive, one without. But what if you want the cheaper one with a superdrive. Whoops guess you are out of luck.
It forces you to buy the higher model. Only the Elite has the HDMI and the 120GB. Of course you could add the 120GB for the rip me off price of $180.
Let's compare that to the Mac Pro. One SKU customizable. No one is left out, you can choose what you want and you aren't limited to getting only certain things on another SKU. Most, including myself, prefer that model. What if Apple put Santa Rosa in the top end MB and left it out of the bottom? Not much of a choice, huh?
People like to think giving you a new SKU is adding to your choice. That isn't the case as you can see. Because in many cases the choice is made for you because you want something on in that one model.
Up until now, I never thought about a PS3. That has changed. Yeah you don't need HD-DVD but they put it out so you would buy it. And when you look at the pricing, the 360 is cheaper but you are getting a lot less. For $120 more than the 360 Elite, I get Blu-ray, media readers, wifi. I can even upgrade the drive to 160GB for only $110.
The PS3 is clearly the better system. If was going to spend retail price on a console it would be the PS3. Hands down.

Love the new design. My only complaint is that it is not really convenient as a flash drive any more since you have to carry around the dock with you.
Love the new shuffle design, how much smaller can they make these things?!?! I feel my fat fingers might struggle.
I was thinking exactly the same thing with the convienience of the old style shuffle, was very handy for popping uni work on and what not, simple plug and go effort. shame that has gone in order to make things smaller.
