Well, not bad of an upgrade. 1Gb standard on the 2Ghz models is about right.
Other than that, pretty much the same. (bar the different HD sizes)

I don't have the mono set but I listen to lossless CD rips with my iPhone set to mono. In mono I get to hear what George Martin really had in mind. An additional benefit is that mono tends to hide George's horrible guitar playing, attempts at singing songs too difficult for their singing abilities and most of all horrible stereo versions that resulted from down mixing with primitive recording equipment.
In all fairness to The Beatles the modern concept of stereo intended for headphone use with centered voices, duplicated guitars at maximum spread and slightly spread but centered drums hadn't been invented yet. Especially for the earlier albums the mono sound is The Beatles sound.
The Mono mixes are very different to the Stereo ones. It isn't just a case of only having one output but they are different mixes. Songs play at different speeds and, for example, the end of Helter Skelter is totally different (no blisters on the fingers). There are also lots of subtle differences.

I thought he was gonna share a specific experience or incident that got him fed up
Instead he's just vehemently opposed to the model, which means he should have never started coding in the first place. When you code a release up to 3.0 and then quit on basic principle, that's retarded
It probably has to do with the three20 project incident a couple of days ago. Basically some devs had their apps rejected because they were using three20 which had some private API calls.

How does the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 128MB compare to the ATI X1600? Is it faster, better, and or more reliable? I am assuming this is also underclocked?

"Something in the Air"? My first thought is wireless.
This could refer to:
- iPhone updates (just firmware, perhaps an early SDK release, or more flash memory)
- Ultraportable laptop
- A more advanced download service (Rentals?).

Front page news since there had been reports that BBY was holding back inventories for this promotion. And from the comments, very few if any could be had. Working retail this sort of ad is a nightmare; and having done 4-color ads for the company the lead times can hurt.
I am sure that there will be business books written on the iPad2 release - "The Perfect Storm" of exceeded demand beyond expectations, a supply disruption to components due to a natural disaster, and the willingness of consumers to pay "scalper prices" and the supply chain unwilling or unable to control "scalper" purchases.
And the nightmare of BBY holding a customer "hostage" for the $100 deposit to be placed on a waiting list. The way I hear it if a customer at BBY places a $100 deposit it is via a BBY Gift Card - locking the consumer in to spending $100 at BBY regardless if they had been able to get an iPad2 from another source. Gift Card agreements generally state they are not refundable.
While maybe not against some local consumer protection laws - there are those that don't read the fine print. May be their fault; but can be a headache for a smaller retailer that abides by common sense reality.
That can be tough for any retailer these days. With the Net (and without); I have seen at my job folks that place multiple orders with multiple same stores or vendors - seeing who can deliver first. At least for my shop we take deposits via a credit card.

As with all capacities you need to take into account that computers (and RAM manufacturers) calculates size in binary 2^10 = 1024 for thousand, while HD and Flash memory manufacturers calculate in decimal where 1000 = 1000.
For drives measured in GB this mean you need to multiply the drives size with ~0.93 to get the size your computer will calculate it to:
2 GB ? 1.86 GB
4 GB ? 3.72 GB
8 GB ? 7.44 GB
So, yes in a way you are right, on the 8 GB nano about 550 MB will be "missing".
This has very little to do with formatting (this was an issue back when drives were just a couple of MB, then the formatting table and such actually took up a fair portion of the disk).
This isn't exactly news. :rolleyes:
Thanks Mitthrawnuruodo and Chundles. I know it's not news, but I wanted to know. Want a 2 gig, but did not want to lose too much space. 1.8 is fine. 1.4 would drive me to the 4 gig ( may anyways for th $50). Frankly, despite having more than 1,000 cd's plus iTunes downloads, I never filled up my 1gen Mini.
Thanks again for the explanations.

Has anyone considered that apple might not be realeasing the wide screen super secret video ipod because it dosn't exist?
lets all think for a second...
1) touch screens are weak, soft, and matte, not iPod at all
2) they get printy and scratched very easily
3) they would go through oodles of batter power
4) Apple would not make the thing bigger just to hold the extra battery
5) battery life would STINK
6) touch screen starts to complicate the interface, goes against apple's easy as pie rule
7) the thing would have to cost a fortune
Logic has no place on the internet ;)
But seriously that is a good post, it's similar to points others have brought up during the last few months.

Higher spending, fewer jobs
This is corroborated in this (http://www.dollarsandsense.org/archives/2010/0310garrett-peltier.html) article by Heidi Garrett-Peltier, a research fellow at the Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, who helped to author, “The U.S. Employment Effects of Military and Domestic Spending Priorities: An Updated Analysis,” by Robert Pollin and Heidi Garrett-Peltier ...
Is Military Keynesianism the Solution?
Why war is not a sustainable strategy for economic recovery.
It is true that military spending creates jobs throughout the economy, and that many of those jobs are well-paying. But at a time when our jobless rate is high, infrastructure is crumbling, and global climate change is becoming an increasingly urgent matter, we must ask whether military spending is truly a solution to our economic woes or whether we might be able to create more jobs in productive areas that also help us meet longer-term goals.
In a recent paper that I co-authored with Robert Pollin, we show that dollar per dollar, more jobs are created through spending on clean energy, health care, and education than on the military. Further, we show that more middle-income and well-paying jobs are created in all of these areas. For each $1 billion of spending, over 17,000 jobs would be created in clean energy, close to 20,000 in health care, and over 29,000 in education. That same $1 billion would create only 11,600 jobs as a result of military spending. If we look at well-paying jobs, those that pay over $64,000 per year, these alternative domestic spending areas also outperform military spending. The same $1 billion would create 1,500 well-paying jobs in clean energy and just over 1,000 in the military—clean energy creates 50% more good jobs than military spending. Education, which is labor-intensive and creates many well-paying jobs per dollar of expenditure, creates close to 2,500 jobs paying over $64,000—that’s 2.5 times as many as the military.
You boys seen enough evidence yet?
I can always get more.

It's not the cost it's the size. I have two aging 12" powerbooks (rev a and c). The whole point of a laptop, sorry notebook, for me is the small size.
I am listening when you say the black isn't a good finish. I'm holding off my buy for a while yet :)
OK, I hear you. Seriously then, the white MacBook is a great machine. It's light-grey inside if that makes any difference to you ;)
But if you don't need a new laptop right now, it's always better to wait. Lucky for you that Macworld SF is just around the corner and something new always gets announced. I'd be surprised though if these laptops see any changes then though. The next update will be nearer summer 2007 I reckon, when Intel start shipping the 800Mhz bus Merom updates with Santa Rosa.

Wow.
Wow.
iTunes 7 fixes all of the idiotic interface inconsistencies and missing functionality.
Great additions to the interface. Good balance of usability and fun.
This is a fantastic update. One of the best application updates Apple has done in a long time.
Very clean overall.
Great job Apple. Simply great.

I am seriously thinking of getting out of Windowsworld and the new 24" iMac looks great!:D
From the listed specs this will really rock.
Anybody have advice on whether I should wait for Leopard to come out or not?
Since Core 2 Duo is 64-bit, there's really no reason to wait if you need/really want a new computer right now.

Apple does not have the best have a build quality better then everyone else. They have some very good computers, but their are companies who build much better computers you have no evidence to back up your statement. Macs use the same hardware as everyone else.
This is one of the most accurate statements in recent times. Nothing but facts. Thank you.

Figures they'd try to go after something that isn't written into the OS since we all know how hard that is.
Do you know what a computer without drivers is? A paperweight. The OS is not a single monolithic thing; it's made up of many components. The notion of what is "written into the OS" is more complicated than you seem to think, and it's childish to dismiss a vulnerability because it's in a driver.
They simply chose a Mac to be a cock. How's that for smugness?
Actually it's the smug attitude of so many Mac owners that makes them such satisfying targets. You reap what you sow. I've been using Macs since 1984 (and PCs about as long) and Mac users get on my nerves sometimes.

Intel will be releasing Merom next spring, AND an ultra-low voltage version for tiny laptops.
I assume you mean they will release Santa Rosa (a chipset, not a cpu) next spring?

The issue with Verizon (and probably other carriers) isn't a "mother may I..." issue of sending the updates over 3G, the issue is probably exempting the OS updates from any transfer caps.
In other words, to not have the 500MB iOS update apply to the 200MB or 2GB/mo or 5GB/mo data cap. This might require Apple to grease the skids with a little cash for Verizon and AT&T, or limit updates to WiFi only.
That said, Apple in general needs to get a better handle on their update package sizes. I've got 3 Macs, 2 iPads and 2 iPhones on my home internet connection. Its 300-500MB (occasionally more) per Mac each time Apple releases a OSX point release (about every other month), 500MB for each iOS update (every other month) times four devices. So I'm looking at a maximum of 3.2GB of just Apple updates each month. This doesn't include updating iTunes, iPhoto, MS Office, etc.

But not widespread at all in the U.S the primary target audience of the first generation iPhone.
It's a pipedream to expect that (LTE) 4G would be widespread in the US even in a year from now. 3G was more widespread at the time of launch of the first Iphone was way more widespread.
