are you people making this all this fuss over C2D MB's coming out? or is there more expected from the update....like the true ipod video? i dont see how a C2D MB could bring so much excitement....there's not THAT much difference in performance.
Well, people have been waiting for the update to get a MacBook, so that's where most of the excitement is coming from I guess. But as others said, we don't know what else they might bring in the bag.

iPad 3 - iPad 3D
I could really see that, with the iPhone 3G (it was actually the 3rd phone) and had 3G.
iPhone 3G was the 2nd phone.
Edit: Damn, Andronicus beat me to the punch!

Why such a great camera on the iphone and such loser ones on the ipad?
Because the iPad one isn�t expected to be widely used for photography, just for certain uses like Facetime or Augmented Reality stuff. Making the camera more decent on the iPad would have increased thickness unnecessarily in a product where a thinner "pad" is much more usable.

Why is this on the front page? It's like saying that WalMart is now selling a junk tablet. Except this article says that Toys R Us and Best Buy is now selling iPads. This isn't front page news.

So now Brazil is the one having "aggressive mercantilist policies"?
Why don't you talk about the US's egregiously illegal subsidies to its orange juice, steel and ethanol industries against Brazilian imports of the same products?
In case you don't know about them, just check WTO's website to see the rulings AND appeals that the US has continuously lost against Brazil. Or is it nice to have "free markets" only when you benefit from them?
It's true-- the policy on ethanol, especially, is bad for US consumers. We are subsidizing US corn farmers to product ethanol that ends up using more petroleum to create than is saved in the resulting gasohol. Meanwhile, import controls are keeping out the (actually efficient) ethanol produced in Brazil. At the same time, food prices are rising all over the world due to shortages that could be alleviated if all that US corn became food, rather than fuel. Ethanol in the US has become nothing but an industrial subsidy for agrobiz. Our taxes our subsidizing a tragedy.

Again as I stated before... Apple is really starting to dabble in the 3D interface. The album art is a good example of this. Granted its a rip off of someone else's idea...No idea of the name of the app but I was playing around with it a few months back that did exactly this. *shrugs* Whatever. It makes me wonder if there is any serious GUI updates for 10.5 that we have yet to see.

The 2.0 model also includes 4MB L2 cache instead of "just" 2MB L2 cache... remember the days when we used to measure L2 in increments of 256KB?
Yes, it drives people to buy the 2.0 model and YES it drives away the others that are not prepared to spend this extra 200$....

When I look at the graphic (http://developer.apple.com/wwdc/) for the 2011 WWDC, it makes me think that the 3D rumor may be accurate. Note the many 3D patents that Apple has been awarded over the past couple of years for precisely this type of thing. And the fact that Apple has used their graphics on prior occasions to tease what would be revealed at the event - most recently, for the iPad2 and how they teased the SmartCover...
I dont know if 3D is dependent on hardware (most of Apples products have front facing cameras at this point at least), or if it can be driven by software alone on existing devices.
Thoughts?
If you're going to take a 3D picture, the best way to do it would be to use two cameras separated by a distance approximating the space in between your eyes. Both cameras take a picture at the same time. You now have two images taken at slightly different angles and after superimposing them, you get a 3D image.
If you want to display that image (or any 3D movie) without glasses, you need a lenticular screen, which would take the two images and using refraction, direct one image to the left eye and the other image to the right eye. This is what the Nintendo 3DS screen does.
So yeah, 3D is hardware dependent. To take a 3D picture/video, you'd need 2 cameras instead of 1. You'd also need a lenticular screen. And this is why I think the 3D rumor is BS: the iPad is made to be used in either portrait or landscape mode.
Once you rotate the iPad 90 degrees, the horizontally spaced cameras are now vertically spaced and no longer work. Which means you'd need to add a third camera. This means a 3D iPad would have 6 cameras built in - 3 on the front and 3 on the back. That's a lot of redesign and I doubt they have enough space to cram 6 cameras in the unit.
On top of that, once you rotate the iPad 90 degrees, the lenticular screen is no longer refracting images to your left and right eye - now they're going up and down so the 3D image doesn't work. I'm guessing it's possible to have a screen that refracts images in 4 directions but I don't think a screen like that has been invented yet.
Just my two cents

The Beatles are up there with the likes if Bach as far as helping to shape the future of musical style and sound. If you don't know who Bach is then I feel sorry for you.I know perfectly well who Bach is (and, in fact, who Bach were) and comparing him with the Beatles is musical stupidity at his best.
If my dad happened to have met John Lennon in Liverpool, he could have been in the Beatles too. Overhyped experimental infants who gave the world a little over five decent songs.
So has Madonna.

There is nothing wrong with shopping at Wal-Mart, whether it be for school supplies, tv for a college dorm room, or toothpaste.
To the point, there are documentaries and sociological studies that exist documenting Wal-Mart's "bullying" ways in the marketplace. Just like the vacuum story - they demand lower prices from their suppliers so they can provide lower prices for customers. If they don't get what they want, they'll go to China. I hope they finally get caught. Wal-Mart is an easy target right now, but at least my toothpaste is cheap. :)

I love the idea. A yellow 80GB iPod with the full Beatles collection (or black with the yellow dial). A huge score for Apple in the war with MS.
I'd never buy any Beatles music myself for personal reasons, but, I'd still be glad to see Apple score this coup.
(on the idea of the custom iPod, why don't they still offer the U2 version with the discount on the full U2 collection?...)

You can 4~5 fingers swipe left and right to switch to another app or swipe up and down to open up and close down the multitasking bar, and finally you can pinch in using 4~5 fingers to go to the home screen.
Especially, I love the swipe left/right function. You can switch between apps really quickly. I think that is the real multitasking.
UPDATE : There's an video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxVd1jDc_Y4) for that.
UPDATE 2 : The gestures work on both iPad and iPad 2.
For your information, each action can be done with either 4 or 5 fingers. The results are same. This means, you cannot use each for the different actions. (and you cannot define the actions. they are fixed by Apple, Inc.)
The answer for your last question is no, you don't have to re-sync all your data, music, photos and apps. The iPad doesn't loose any data during the update, so don't worry.
how do I turn it on? I don't seem to be able to see multitouch gestures in the gerneal tab (ipad2 + 4.3.1)

Thanks for the explanation, but can you tell us what type of actions the 4-5 finger gestures perform? Very curious...
Also, does this update require all of the data to be re-sync'd? I HATE when that happens...

Very likely home platinum, possibly professional if they are buying a expensive high end machine.
MS has spread their lineup to thin, $500 for the ultimate every 5-10 years, I would rather got the apple route, $130 for the entire thing every few years and at least I feel continues advances than one big bang.
You mean Home Premium? :confused:
