So thankful that I purchased $100,000 of Apple stock in '96 @ $18.90 a share :-D

If those screenshots are real, the iCal update looks very disappointing. Though you can't tell much from a single screenshot, it looks like the iCal update is more a cosmetic update rather than a feature update. The only new feature I can see in that screenshot is something about new event notifications, but that's hardly what people have been clamoring for.

Don't know if you guy's have seen this video for an Apple Phone that has been floating around. http://64.233.187.104/search?q=cache:MbAExD1d6M8J:video.google.com/videoplay%3Fdocid%3D-3168733759916419298+Apple+Phone&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=7&client=safari
It seems like the guy who made it is trying to make a name for himself. No truth to the film... I think?

Even bigfoot, the loch ness monster and UFOs left photos, the iPhone has shown off absolutely nothing for nearly 12 months worth of rumors, therefore no iPhone.
I can see it now..... iPhoney, Tricked Different
There have been more persistent rumors than that that came true, big time.

Temporarily bogged down by unexpected sudden traffic? I couldn't even get the company's Web site earlier today. Seems OK now.
I get the same message on a local/Bonjour connection.

is there somewhere in vegas a bet going who's first? vista or leopard? and who has more bugs at release day?
I think the greater impact would occur if Apple released its product just after Vista amid the confusion of people wondering which version of the MS OS to buy. People procrastinating could then finally realize that the much simpler option is to buy a Mac and not be confronted with not only the question of which make and model to stretch their hard earned money on, but also which version of the Vista OS they want with that, and whether it will actually run satisfactorily on the computer they are buying.
I know that I for one would not be want to be faced with yet another PC owner's dilemma. Thank goodness I run a Mac.:D

I would ask the same question. However, that's not how patent law works in the USA. Nokia doesn't have to spend their time/money watching other people's products, tearing them apart, and looking for patent infringement. All Nokia needs to do is SOME DAY realize their patent was infringed and then file a lawsuit. That's it.
But I am sure that Nokia knew a very long time ago that Apple was infringing and did nothing (which is perfectly their right)...and let Apple make billions...then file a lawsuit to cash in. Think about it...why would Nokia file suit immediately to earn, say, a pesky $5 or $20 million (and give Apple a chance to make the product better) when Nokia can wait years and earn hundreds of millions or billions? It's the waiting game that ALL patent holders play.
Actually, no. There are two defenses to patent infringement called laches and equitable estoppel.
Under equitable estoppel, if Apple relied on the lack of patent enforcement in choosing to continue infringing, Nokia can't suddenly pop up and assert infringement.
Under laches, if Nokia unreasonably and inexcusably delayed bringing suit and Apple is materially prejudiced by the delay, Nokia can't assert infringement.
See, for example, http://www.patentlyo.com/patent/law/troxlerlaches.pdf

And I "should" be given a MacBook Pro for free for being a loyal customer. But it ain't gonna happen.
This isn't as hard to pull off as it looks.
Let's take the $399 Mac mini as an example. Starting with the current $599 model, we need to take it down $200. First, the Mac mini is now five months old. We know its overpriced, since the MacBook Pro has had TWO processor speed boosts during the time that the Mac mini has been availible. In addition, Yonah chips will be price-dropped dramatically when Merom is released. Other components have probably become cheaper too. Let's say that the cheaper components add up to a $150 price drop. Reasonable.
Now if we chop the HD to 4200 RPM and 40GB, remove Bluetooth, and use slower RAM, we could easily shave off another $50.
Laugh at this configuration all you like, but I'm much more likely to buy a $399 computer to use as a streaming media box on top of my TV than a $599 one.
It also works great for the average family. Us on MR tend to expect more from our computers. This $399 Mac mini configuration would be perfectly capable of holding large-sized iTunes and iPhoto libraries, maybe some light video editing here and there, making music with GarageBand, publishing a blog with iWeb, video conferencing, browsing the internet, etc.
And with the next revision, it could easily be improved upon.

Yeah, why dont you download it, then say negative things.
You can choose where the occurence happened, no matter where you are. So if at home you have crappy quality, you can later submit the report from somewhere else using the map.
I do not have an iPhone yet. I choose to have consistent service everywhere. If iPhone was on Verizon, then people could just send the report where and when the occurance happened instead of waiting for service else where.
This application must be a response to recent Verizon advertising.

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:

The Mac mini and iMac are in dire need of an update. The Mini doesn't really need a speed boost either. Just drop the price to $499 Solo and $599 Duo.

Didn't Apple drop some flash memory provider over a similar statement before the Shuffle was announced?
nah nah, nah
nah nah, nah
Lions Gate, good bye

I also believe the optical drive is pretty much dead...I haven't used one for about 2 or 3 years, all the software/music/etc. i buy is downloaded directly to de hard drive, and stored/backed up in other hdd, usb, sd, etc.
Apple already took the first step with the Macbook Air and provided solutions for the lack of the optical drive, it is obvious to think that in the very near future computers will be opticaldriveless to make room for other stuff in their guts and that can only be good

Ditto here for delivery on the 26th. I've also been checking the Apple Store @ Stonestown in San Francisco here and there. Almost every day for the past week or so, I've heard people lining up at 5 am or earlier. Apple Store staff hand out iPad tickets around 7, so it's sold out the rest of the day. On the first day of the release at RadioShack, I was third in line at a store @ just after 8 am, and... the store only received two iPad 2s. Doh! Put my name on a list but that's been pretty much useless.
Got my shipment notification email today (Apr 12) stating that my iPad 2 delivers by Apr 19, 2011 via FedEx. My order was placed on Mar 22. Exciting!

When you buy one at these stores, how do they activate it or know if your up for an upgrade?
They have an activation process just like the Apple Store.

Ahem. Anyone who says that Yale is "square" and Harvard is not has obviously never experienced the two colleges. And yes, I can say this because I am a Yale student who chose Yale over Harvard. Additionally, I really don't know what a "more comprehensive understanding of aesthetics" is, let alone what it has to do with mac usage. And, for the record, fully 35% of people here at Yale use Macs, and the large majority of freshmen I know who bought a new laptop got an MB or an MB pro. Also, I would argue that trying to paint Yale and Princeton with the same brush is also incorrect, and it is even more incorrect to paint Harvard and Columbia with the same brush. It is pointless to generalize ANY two colleges together, especially schools with such varying social, educational, and cultural philosophies.
EDIT: Oh, but don't take my word for any of this. I switched to Mac from Linux, so I guess I'm not a real Mac user.
Bravo.
Exactly, it is just a brand of computer... a tool if you will. Not a bloody religion which changes your whole mindset and world view to the point that you are prepared to strap bombs to your chest to "defend" it.
Switcheur... people who use this world sound more like poseurs to me if they honestly think the few extra grand they spent in their lifetimes on macs make them superior in any sense. Stop hiding behind Steve's skirt and go get a real peen enlargement you loser :rolleyes:
