Why would Apple logically develop a piece of software that uses the graphics card when I have four processors - many others have two -  begging to be worked. I guess I never understood the logic of using Core Image to power this thing.
Apple did the same thing when they got their hands on the G4s, suddenly everything was a vector problem even if it wasn't. They will get over it a couple years down the road when they notice that even the entry level boxes are going to have dozens of CPU cores soon.

good lord, if anyone actually got through reading all this, can there be any doubt left that all consumers want is DRM-free content??? 
Actually what many consumers want is DRM transparent downloads. They don't want to constantly be reminded of their restrictions and they don't want the restrictions to get in the way or have to know any of the technical details.
 
Fairplay does a fairly good job at that, which is why it has been successful.
 
OTOH Amazon unbox seems overly restrictive with its two machine and 48 hour limitations. Zune's 3x3 DRM also seems to miss the boat as it'll probably annoy more users than get them to buy tracks...

As long as Sony will use MPEG2 for their blu-ray release, they will fail. The first BD50 release was done last week (Click) and the PQ is still subpar compare to HD-DVD. THere is no excuse for such a poor release.

Outdated graphs aside, you really think so?  With the tri-cornered hat brigade being vastly outnumbered at rallies?  With public opinion siding with the unions?  With people watching good workers threatened with jail, and thinking to themselves, "If it can happen to them, it can happen to us?" 
 
Yes, I absolutely really think so. The problem is that if (as I suspect) you only get your news from left-leaning organizations you're only getting half of the truth. Based on what I see, it's still the right that is more energized, it's still the right that is excited to vote in 2012, because deep down everyone realizes that these protesters are protesting for petty reasons. They don't care about the kids, the schools, the state, the budget, the economy... they just don't want THEIRS to be taken away. I've seen several polls which report exactly the opposite regarding public opinion on the unions... it's all in how you phrase the question.
 
IMHO, unless there's a MAJOR uptick in the economy and some MAJOR concessions made on the left regarding reducing the deficit, they don't stand a chance to win seats in 2012. Still a chance for the White House? Yes, but he probably won't be favored at that point if significant improvesments are seen in every day Americans' lives.

I see everyone has been wondering about content should Apple offer movie downloads via iTunes.  How coincidental is it that Lionsgate made a statement recently about iTunes offering movie downloads in the near future.  Lionsgate also has one of the largest film libraries and has been rumored as a potential takeover in recent months as well.

Any one that proposes using diesel or gas because of the impact it "might" have on our national grid (which by the way depends on where you live, i.e. Nuclear power plants for California, renewable hydro-electric for Las Vegas, etc...) pales in comparison to incidents like... oh say... the GULF OIL SPILL!!! What did that cost so far? Tens of billions. Not to mention the amount of lives it has ruined! Wonder how many electric cars could have been made and powered over the course of a year on that bill?

well i moved the cpu fan on the other side of the cooler, and now the highest core has been 81 C. still hot considering it's only running at 3.7 ghz. hmm
 
well i reapplied the thermal paste, and the temps went down to the mid 60's C. so i then decided to push it up to just over 4.0 ghz, but i had to raise the voltage to just under 1.4, so the temps are back around 80 C

Ick. This whole format war is nasty, but I guess I never understood why Apple decided to support blu-ray over HD-DVD. Seemed like they did it just to go against what Microsoft had chosen. The and the whole Steve wanting crippled hardware for another (his other) company's benefit over computer users...the whole situation stinks.
 
As a consumer I'm trying as hard as possible to sit this one out. :mad:
 
Apple chose sides before Microsoft did ;)

DRM should be unified - one DRM standard for ALL devices.
 
While I'm no great fan of DRM, this makes about as much sense as making all home, car and office locks use the same key. And making files DRM'd under one system transferable to a different DRM (what France was attempting) simply means that no DRM will be stronger than the weakest.
 
Like it are not, if we want to buy legit music, we've got to have a fairly effective DRM or those who own music have no incentive to release it. Would any of us leave a brand-new MacBook Pro unattended on a park bench while we went into a store? Well, these people have far more invested in their music than we have in our computers.
 
In short, we shouldn't demand of others different standards than those we live by ourselves.

The Stores seem to be listing MacBook delivery times as 5-7 working days. Is that normal or has it been increased? If it's an increase might that suggest a speedbump or something? There's not been much rumour activity around that though.

Thank you for reminding me of that analogy.  It really is a good one, and your points are excellent.  Nobody complains when pickup trucks and tractors get cushy seats and high-end sound systems, but add an app store to OS X and people are ready to jump to Windows!  Silly.
 
That is an excellent add-on to the truck analogy!

I don't understand why everybody wants a Video iPod other than the fact its a new gadget.  When I watch movies/DVDs on anything smaller than my 42" plasma I'm underwhelmed by it, hahah. Why would I want to watch it on a 5" LCD?
 
Unless all of you travel alot and miss your shows all the time I don't see a big need for a video iPod.
 
I have a 5G iPod and I think I've watched 1 or 2 videos on it ever...

It would be great if the price went down.  There should also be some updates, but concentrating on a lower price, as PCs that are the same speed are much less.
