If there's going to be a preview release at WWDC, does that not mean that we could seeing a full release very soon? As in, later this year?

PC sales are shrinking because of stagnation in the primary driving force for selling new PC hardware.
Games.
Gamers now have 4 platforms to choose from (smart phone, console, hand-held, PC), and game developers are putting LESS dollars into high end PC titles and concentrating on consoles for their premium products.
With no Diablo 3 (or whatever) to entice me with gameplay I can't find anywhere else, I have much less of a reason to play games on my PC rig, much less upgrade it.
When it comes to writing emails or checking facebook, a smart phone or tablet will do that just as well as a PC.
Macs have never been gaming machines, so they are immune from that particular effect. It is 'trendy' to have a macbook right now (seriously, go to a coffee shop and tell me what you see), and the vast majority of their sales are to less-technology/gadget-savvy users who have bought their Mac because of other people telling them that Macs are good, rather than the hardware, specs, or software on the computer.
In the end, it is all marketing... which is the case with most of Apple's products. They have been selling PC hardware now for years at a higher price than their competitors. Windows 7 isn't any worse (or better) than MacOS for browsing the web or checking email..... so its not the OS that is influencing soccer moms and emo kids to buy Mac either.

I'm really excited for the new features, many of which sound great, but I wonder why they couldn't just implement them into the current FCP interface? I'm a heavy Final Cut Pro user and really fast with the current application. I hate to have to learn an entirely new interface.
I would be shocked if the keystrokes were different, so you'll have that going for you.

U Mad? :confused:
My sentiments exactly. . .
It probably was a typo though, I don't see how iPhone 4 users are complaining, if anything it's the people going to be off contract I.E the 3GS crowd.
Regardless if people want the latest in tech it's their business. I can't wait to upgrade though :p

FWIW, the one Toys R Us I checked with apparently had an initial delivery of TEN on Sunday, all of course gone within an hour. Now back to the digression of this thread.....

As stated by many prior to me, I think the update is a solid one but really wish it had a better way to handle the graphics.

I like CoverFlow and the free album art but...
Good god this thing is an ugly beast! From the side navigation panel to the scrollbars and buttons, to the Store itself - this has got to be the least asthetically appealing consumer app from Apple in a very long time. Windows XP style FTW!

Apple growing fast on a dying market. Great. :rolleyes:
They should better focus on releasing the iPhone 5 in June and not postpone it until fall....
Uhh...what big difference does three months make? The world's going to be around until the end of 2012 at least.

I think that this is a really good idea, if they can get a large enough screen. Add in a few tools like highlighting and a dictionary, and I might consider replacing my nano.
I'll quote you on that ;)

The iSight isn't up there either. Maybe it's getting axed.
I think you are right. Didn't it just get axed in europe? That may lend some credence to the iSight in the Cinema Displays.

:mad: It's about time Apple did something about these MB's. I work for IT and I've had atleast 5 reports of random shutting down (and then failing to go past the gray screen after start up). EDIT: the past fortnight
I wouldn't go near these machines if I was in the market for a portable...

This Apple page shows much shorter serial number ranges that the original MacRumors article.
http://www.apple.com/support/batteryexchange/faq/
So which is it? The Apple page has to be considered official, but the MacRumors article would get me a brand new battery. :confused: :p

What did they ban and why?
They banned songs like Lucy in the Sky and Ticket to Ride... (not to mention Metallica's Seek and Destroy) because the songs reminded people of the event.

400 smackers for Ultimate? :mad:

On another note, upgrading from XP to Vista is nice and smooth.

really. that's awesome! If you don't mind me asking how much did the 8GB come out to after the education discount?
It was $20 off. It came to $248 and some change so basically tax gets taken off in NY.

Id also like to add that I increased spending on veterans, so you can save the "you don't support the troops" crap, I dont want to hear it.
The funny thing is that our current war spending doesn't put anything aside or even factor in the serious cash we're gonna have to drop on veteran benefits down the road. Thats a huge unaccounted for money pit, that MUST be paid for.

read this somewhere- not sure if it has been posted here yet. Seems like the MBP at the end of the banner has a different (thinner) speaker design than both the current MBP 15' & 17'
Here are some images of the banner, MBP 15 & 17
It's just a bad shot. Look at this image (http://flickr.com/photos/66488342@N00/206062001/in/set-72157594223273881/)
It's clearly the current MBP.

Does anyone know the answer to this?
There's precious little details on what the actual exploit is, so no.. I don't think anyone here knows, yet.

It's not entirely clear what happened, or how.
And it wasn't the Macbook (nor OS X) that got hacked..
Than what did get hacked?
The wireless card that was plugged into the macbook.
I know what youre saying, and they have made it clear, this isnt an attack on macs that allowed this hack. any machine is supposedly open to be 'hacked.'

It's really amazing to see here people justifying the price of Windows Vista, when not even corporations think about migrating to the "new" OS in 2-years time...Vista is just a rehashed NT, and no company will need it in the short term.
Corporations have many more factors to consider prior to updating than the general consumer. Price is only one of the many factors. In many cases the sticker price of the OS itself is the least restrictive factor when considering upgrading for a corporation.
