My standard music library (excluding spoken word, audio books) is around 72GB and growing. I want to have this in one simple library, available for streaming, playing in my car, taking with me when travelling etc. Split libraries are a pain to use, administer and load.
The iPod touch is too expensive for a simple music player and does lots of things I just don't need, since I have iPhones and an iPad to fulfil those functions. The iPod Classic is ideal. I do get annoyed with the incompatibility of the various versions with connecting devices, where some need version 5, 5.5 or 6 etc, as Apple has updated the Codex. it would have been nice to have built in backwards compatibility into docks etc but I suppose Apple want us to continue to buy new iPods. I would be happy if Apple made an improved iPod classic with higher quality storage and output (maybe optical like my old iRiver used to have and Macs and Airport Expresses have). I have just bought another 120GB Classic just in case they go out of production.

How are they coming up with the number of (gun) crimes committed by blacks? That is an important question because it is probably based on convictions. A higher percentage of blacks are arrested for crimes, which is compounded by a system (at least here) that convicts blacks at a higher rate. So, there may be a statistically disproportionate number of crimes committed by blacks, but if the system concentrates that trend, the statistics are going to seem worse than reality.
Are you saying that white people are just as likely to commit gun crime, but black people are more likely to get charged (no pun) with it?

It's neither a math game nor marketing ploy.
Apple is not artificially limiting the number of attendees. It's a facilities issue. They are at maximum capacity for this venue. It's not like they can simply print out 5000 more badges. The fire marshal would shut the place down.
That's why local television coverage of professional sports have their blackouts lifted after a sellout. Not everyone who wants to watch can fit in the stadium/arena.
But there are larger venues available, so it is certainly possible to limit the number of attendees by choosing a venue that is too small.
It's a conference, not a rolling stones concert. You can't just infinitely scale upwards and provide a good experience. There are practical limits to the size of an audience you can have for useful sessions.

I got 2 MacBooks for my business and i just got them shipped to me the other day, i installed the SMC Firmware update and tested the machine under the core-duo test for 45 minutes and nothing.
I did notice the fan was going like a jet engine and was waitin for the macbook to lunch off the desk but that never happend
when checked the temp before the test it was 40 C ... during the test it was 78 C ... after the test it went down to 56 C and it stayed like that for 45 minutes on idel before it went down to 45 C
how do i know if the heat sink on my MacBooks have been replaces or not, they were both costom orderd MBs and i did wait 1 month to get them from apple website

I feel bad for all the designers/photographers/filmmakers (part of companys and esp. freelance/new graduates). How the hell will folks be able to afford upgrading every year and/or two years. This doesn't include the time and possible addition outlay to work around the learning curves for all new bells, whistles, bs etc.
Unless they need one of the new bells and whistles, why upgrade? The old version still works, so unless there is a must have feature then there is no compelling reason to upgrade; other than you *want* the latest version independent of *needing* it.
If they do need it, but can't afford it; they probably need to reassess their line of work.

It was only hours ago I read that the batteries in Apple's products were cleared.
What is the source of this recall?

i don't know why anyone is complaining that the MB wasn't upgraded to meet the specs of the MBP. we're talking entry level after all, and have to give apple something to justify the price differential to the pro. me, this is just what i was waiting for. c2d with added memory to boot. if i needed more features, graphics, etc., (*and if i could afford it) i'd buy the pro, but i don't. with this upgrade, i can finally retire my performa 6400/g3 sonnet, and have something that will serve me for many years. as soon as the store comes back up, i'm buying.

Yeap, they drilled a hole in the center of the macbook and added a screw.
Mine had a screw there when it was brand new.

Before getting slapped... I guess if youre a billionaire you can shove earbuds into a strangers ear, but here in Real World USA the results would not be pretty. Do that with your girlfriend, I dont think ANYONE would want a stranger theyve known for 1 minute coming up to them and putting crap into their ear.
If you're unable to walk up to a girl and ask her if she wants to listen to a cool song, but more than ready to semi-anonymously ask the same thing by connecting to her music player ... well, I guess the Zune might have a market with the socially inept looking for others who are socially inept.
But, in my opinion, if I were to ask someone to listen to a cool song, I'd want to strike up a conversation first, maybe introduce the song, etc. Sending a message like "Someone wants you to listen to something. Accept?" just soounds creepy.
And, no, if asked to listen to something by someone unwilling to identify themselves, my answer would be "no", period. That kind of person is too likely to send me heavy breathing or a breathless rant on global consumerism spliced into the middle of a Britney Spears track (the rant might be okay by itself, but ...)
So, no, I see no advantage in that scenario at all.

Also, anybody else got this? :D
Love the new look, but I'm not sure about the library/store/devices/playlist area... the new one takes a lot more room than the old one... :(

So, on Halloween my Macbook was returned to me, not bad considering it was picked up on 10/27. Apple replaced the bezel, heat sink and a few other parts on the white Macbook. They did not perform the most recent firmware upgrade, so I just did. Time will tell, but I'm most pleased with the rapid turn around time, and I must say the Macbook came back in pristine condition.
Well done Apple, I hope.

It seems that Apple has abandoned the product that made them a household name. Why would you buy a huge HDD iPod, when you could get an iPhone or an iPod touch? Eventually, iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads will be 64GB or 128GB. The first iPod I bought, had a black and white screen and was 40GB. Add to that, the eventual cloud, why would you need a portable device with more than 128GB storage and wifi? BTW, this is coming from the guy that always buys the highest storage capacity, because I think it's worth an extra $100 to get twice the storage capacity.

you also got to look at people that don't have new or fast computers (i currently fall in this category) and people that don't have a fast internet connection (like people that live to far out of town where they cant get high-speed ) or people that like to have a original copy AKA a dvd to take to another house to watch. that is the people that is buying audio cd's and dvd movies from wally world. so even tho if apple got every studio for ITMS it would not affect those buyers then would it.
wally world needs to see the point, that they are going to be the retail store version of M$
i for one am for ITMS to get all it can to become what it can be. skrew wall-marts they just lost another customer for this bull crap

What's your GPU?
Apple 5770 because you can't use regular ATI 5x with DP + DP to mini-DP adapter under Osx or even ATI 5770 Eyefinity 5 (5 mini DP) or 5870 Eyefinity 6 (6 mini DP). The ports are simply not working under Osx although they are in windows.
An other solution would be to use the Atlona AT DP-400 converter and any other framebuffer / injector / Dsdt capable gpu... I went with the apple card because of the small fee gap ( 40$) and also to upgrade my old 8800GT.

imho the reason why apple hasnt filled the void of a 12"powerbook equivilent is because they plan on expanding their overall product range. more portable notebooks, tablets, etc. all in the scope of vision
This thread has, to the best of my knowledge, managed to stay tablet free up until now...thanks for contaminating a great thread with pie in the sky. :D
I agree, however, that for Apple to gain a faster growth of market share gain, they will need to continue to expand their various lines.
eg. 24" iMac: Did anyone really believe that that one would become a reality? (don't answer that...it is a redundant question).

Because you made a post that claimed our editing skills have nothing to do with creativiy or experience, but simply that 'knowing the software' is the only advangate we have.
That's not how I understood what he said at all,he put "professional" in quotes because he was being sarcastic,to me he meant that if someone is worried about the fact that more people can now operate a software because it's simpler to use/more affordable then they must not be a real pro because a real pro wouldn't worry about such things,they know that they have the creativity and experience that sets them appart.

Okay, all this talk about Vegas features made me go look at the website for it to see what it's like these days. I used to use it many years ago when I was a Windows user.
Looking at some of the screenshots actually made my gag reflex kick in. It almost made me retch. Wow, that interface is still as ugly as ever.

Skunk and Sydde present facts. You can only present a faith-based belief which is based on assumptions, one of which is that the bible is divinely inspired. Clearly, this assumption can never be proven particularly to someone who does not believe that there is anything "divine" to begin with let alone that a particular set of works is the reference given by such. Assumptions based on assumptions is just too hard to swallow.
