anyone experiencing random shut downs after the firmware update?
i just got my macbook back yesterday after waiting for over a month for them to replace the heatsink and then the topcase because nothing worked after the replacement.
i didn't realize that this update was out, and when i first tried to update, the computer wouldn't get past the grey screen then the vertical lines came back. i was about to throw it out the window. i reset the pram and it still wouldnt work.
i then reinstalled the update and so far it is working fine...i think what happened was i interrupted the update the first time. woops.
anyways, i would love to know how everyone's computer is doing now. anybody?

FINALLY got through on the phone to APPLECARE and talked to Brett after being on hold for 25 minutes, he said the site and their phone lines are getting hit HARD right now, and that the site will be back up in one hour.
So until then lets be patient and think about those BRAND NEW BATTERIES we'll be getting at Sony's expense (of course, keep a fire extinguisher and a bottle of vodka in your backpack just in case.)
Take Care macheads :)

Wow, not getting updates to your OS for half a decade is now an advantage is it?
And Windows users accuse Mac owners of being delusional!
There are updates, just free. Also, it's nice to be able to have to fiddle with the OS only once every half a decade. Updates don't matter that much, since if you're a mac user and using windows for gaming(and not job work), the windows interface doesn't matter at all. You'd be getting Vista in anticipation of a future laptop with a DX10 graphics card.

Woah, so to get the album artwork it sends my list of songs to apple? what if I have an advance copy of an album from my friends band that I don't want apple to have? What about all those people who download albums, are they gonna get in trouble??
There's a disclaimer when your first open iTunes 7 that basically says the information sent to Apple will not be used for any other purpose other than to get album art.
You can turn off the option under Preferences.
I also like how they've integrated the iPod updates into iTunes without having to do the updates seperately.
Just wondering where the new 1.2 update is. I'm anxious to get it loaded on my 5G and get PacMan downloaded.

God ****ing damn it.....update keeps failing right in the last few minutes. Of course iTunes won't let me revert to the last firmware that worked, it will only let me try to update and restore. Seriously, what the ****? If it didn't work the last 3 times, what makes you think it'll work now?

If you look at the picture of the iPhone poster, it seems to have a couple of subtle differences compared to my iPhone:
http://images.appleinsider.com/macworld-banner-7.jpg
1) The white etching on the home button seems rounder than current iPhones
http://www.codefarm.co.uk/userpics/button.jpg
2) The In Call screen is different, and is that a desktop above the call status? Looks like some file icons there
http://www.codefarm.co.uk/userpics/files.jpg
3) Look very, very carefully at the top left hand corner: Is there a front facing camera hidden amongst the reflections?
http://www.codefarm.co.uk/userpics/camera.jpg http://www.codefarm.co.uk/userpics/camera2.jpg
Maybe I'm just suffering from pre macworld hallucinations, but that certainly looks different to my iPhone...

I do understand ... very clearly
we do not need to cut corners on things like Helicopters by hanging onto ancient machines like the Sea King Helicopters or as they are known ..."flying coffins"

What aggression does Canada have to defend itself against? Or are you in the mindset that you guys should be imperialistic like us?

Thanks! I wish we would take advantage of it at work. I'm sure that there are scientists here in the Brain Institute that would love to have some of my "free cycles"... :(

People already piss and moan about it. If apple really wanted to have a low environmental impact they would build their products where they have Higher standards for environmental quality.
They do. Changed their packaging to minimum needed as best as possible.
Using material that can be recycled, pcb free cables etc.etc.
If they give the production to FoxConn they can only get involved to a certain point. Too much demands on their partners and they won't get any production.
The Chinese and other countries have and still are learning that at the end of the day, they need trees, clean water etc., so they do adapt.
Because there is a lot of new technology out, they go through the environmental adaptation process faster than others in previous years.

Each Sunday I'm going to try to take a wide angle shot of some of the more interesting rooms in my church. The main building was an old mansion with some pretty interesting architecture. Some of the rooms have murals along the tops of the walls. This one is the basement which was a summer parlor and decorated as an English tavern. Those are beer drinking carvings on either side. The floor is Venetian tile.

I ranked this as a neg only since there are supply chain issues... why add another retailer?

Please Apple, wirelessly update everything (iTunes, iPhotos etc). It is long overdue. Plugging my iPhone into my MacBook make absolutely little sense.

It actually makes a lot of cents... For Apple.
You don't get to billions in profits by selling just phones. ;)

Hi There,
I ordered a Macbook on the 18th October through mac universe with a hard disk upgrade to 80gb and ram to 1gb. I have called daily ever since and have been constanty told that there is a component shortage and is in constraint.... :( Umm...I've been given the option to cancel but i daren't because i've got a sneaky feeling they might be sneeking a 2 core baddy in it... anyone having a similar experience out there?:D

it does not even make sense to put a phone there, since when can phones do RSS? Its just really fishy tt it is placed alongside the ipod and itunes.
Quicktime delivers mobile content and that is decent 3gpp phone. The phone is just one possible device Apple's software ends up compressing for. Woo-hoo scalable HD video!

But of the screen is laid down so you can play it like a piano keyboard ... :)

There's more men than women in the world, so that should earn us more respect. :mad:
I thought there were slightly more women? It would make sense that there would be as they live longer!

�755.53 is a GREAT PRICE!!!!
Aaah my ibook G4 12" 800Mhz dies last week (HD failure) and my Powerbook G4 12" 1.33 has only 256MB ram and runs slooowly.
I've got the money know to buy one but originally I have been saving up for a Mac Pro after MWSF '07.
What do to - what to do???
yeah, I just purchased that one with burgundy bag :)
Was going to get the black as it would have been similar priced when you upgrade the white version to 120gb. But �100+ for an extra 40gb isn't worth it

I think reading from my ipod would give me headaches..... It would maybe be okay for short stories or headlines you could load on it, but a whole book??? cmon even if they make a big screen it would never be bigger than the screen of a paperback and just imagine if reading a really long text from the computer strains some peoples eyes what would a small screen do to you?
