would you have problems if they banned Islam from France?
If they ban all religion, I'd buy a one way ticket for the next flight to France.
I just hope the plane doesn't crash into a regional jet on the taxiway (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42548948/ns/travel-news/) :p

I went to best buy as well and was number 12 & 13.
I filled out the same sheet everyone else talks about and got my GC.
They didn't tell me anything else so I went home.
When I read that some had received appointments, I called my BB to inquire about mine.
They told me that they would not be scheduling appointments until they get them in stock, probably the 22nd or 23rd. They will be giving me a call when they have mine in stock to schedule an appointment.
Hopefully they still get the 45 rumored...I hope Apple and AT&T don't try and take them :eek:

- their servers are located in the USA, so I don't know if it's enough to serve streaming media worldwide. Do they currently have servers in other countries for the international iTunes Stores?
Technical issues aside, however, it all boils down to selection and price.
I'm renting a lot of content through the iTunes Store (Apple TV) with an US account and it works like a charm (I'm from southern Germany). HD content can be watched as advertised almost instantly. So either their US servers have enough bandwidth or there really are servers in Europe.

Or...would the new Zune release coverage put the new iPod release in the back of the newspaper? Not sure which way it would go...
I'm quite sure of which way it would go. Are you a betting man?

� but if it's 'per port' then each port has two 10-Gbps channels� I can't see it getting clearer than that.
If the ports weren't independent, it would have to say 'Two 10-Gbps data channels between them' or 'Two 10-Gbps data channels but under full load they're 5-Gbps'
Apple's spec sheets have always been masterful at implying more than is actually available. The sheets will say "five USB 2.0 ports at 480 Mbps" without mentioning that all five are on one USB hub and the 480 Mbps is shared among the ports.
� Besides, you are aware that the iMac model in the teardown was the 21.5" with one TB port? There's every possibility that the 27" with two TB ports has two TB controllers. In fact I would say it's more of a likelihood than a possibility
Good point about the 21.5" teardown, but in fact I would say that I anticipate the 27" teardown photos.

What they're saving from not printing is being largely consumed by Apple's 30%.
-1 Wrong. They still have distribution costs of the printed version and printing alone accounts for about 25% of their costs.
They just don't have the model down right for one. I agree with others, it should be cheaper than the print version and/or be free when you subscribe to the print version.
The other issue they have is the value of printed magazines is quickly dying. So much information is available for free, it's hard to justify investment in general magazines unless there are specific articles you like to read or it's specialized, like Playboy for example! :D
Oh... wait... that's only going to be available for the future iPad Touch! :p

this sounds pretty cool. is it possible to do this and keep a sturdy product? correct me if im wrong but i thought they moved away from the moving wheel (1G ipod) to the touch wheel because it was less moving parts. very cool and innovative. i hope this is something that gets used and knowing apple they will use it well!

Assuming that (1) you use the Shuffle as a music player and use a descent amount of its space, and (2) when using it as a jump drive, you're not storing more than 256MB, you can just get something like a 256MB Cruzer Micro for $15. Which added with the new shuffle, is probably smaller than the old shuffle. Maybe not for everyone, but I like encoding high enough, and have enough songs, that even if I used a shuffle as a jump drive, I wouldn't have much space left after my songs.
I'm not sure where my friend got one of his jump drives, but it is tiny; it's pretty much the end you stick into the USB drive plus a little stub. 128MB. Maybe it's personal preference, but I'd much rather have a tiny player + tiny flash drive than one (relatively) big shuffle.I paid $20 for a 2GB USB2 Flash drive last Monday at Fry's.

Yeah, fancy that, a nation that still believes in crime and punishment.
"Can't do the time? Don't do the crime".
It's not that they shouldn't be punished, it's the concern that the punishment in China will be excessive for this nonviolent crime.
And the US still incarcerates more people than China.

I have a hard time believing that even working a part-time job would pay for $70-$90/month data plan. Remember they have to pay rent, food, utilities. Or they are living with parents.
I think you can easily make $70-$90/month by flipping burger....

So when you were young, you just blindly followed what older people said to you, even if they were completely wrong? Kids don't think they know everything, they just don't like being accused (and treated) wrongly.

I have to assume that since Apple just released the 5.5G iPods, that if a 'true' video iPod is released, it will be as a 'super' iPod of sorts. This will be similar to when the iPod photo came out.
This is the only thing that makes sense to me, otherwise, why would apple put so much time between the two 5g releases, only to make them obsolete a month later???
This also makes sense in light of apple bringing down the prices so much with its last update, so that they can make room at the top.
so... who here feels sorry for the zune boys?

Nope. No C2D in the MacBook until 2007. Why? Distinguish product lines between MB vs. MBP with different chips. Also economics. With only CD in MacBooks, Apple makes more $$$ per MB.
Sorry, I don't think you're always right. While everyone here may outbuy MBP's vs MB's, the mass market buys Macbooks much more than MBP's (according to a recent article, MB outsold MBP 2:1). The MB is very important for apple and will allow them to gain huge marketshare in the notebook market if they keep it up-to-date. A lot of financial success of apple last quarter was due to laptop sales (of which were mostly macbooks) to college kids. So, if apple is smart and wants to experience high portable sales during the holidays, they will have to update the macbooks...after all, they are in a MUCH better price range in terms of gifting than the MBP's and would make more likely gifts. The C2D is similar in costs to C1D now that C1D is getting replaced, thus the price of the MB would not change much with this upgrade.
I am thinking in terms of what is most financially profitable for apple-and my conclusion in that line of thought is updating the Macbooks to C2D within 3 weeks.

If Leopard is released before Vist I won;\'t go near it with a 20 meter cattle prod and even if they gave it away for free. Leopard released that soon would scream revenge of the Tiger launch. Honestly a january lauch of eather Vista or Leopard doesn't serve anyone. For windows they missed the lucrative holiday sales rush and only the after x-mas bargan shoppers are looking to buy in ist quarter. For Apple school sales won't begin for months.
All that a January Leopard launch would prove would be the immaturity of the people running Apple. e.g. Its better to ship an OS that probably has a ton of bugs in it to be able to thumb our collective noses at MS then ship a solid product. IMHO I'm REALLY hoping for a WWDC launch of Leopard.
If Apple releases Leopard before March, it will likely be a mistake. How about version 10.5.-3?

I think the more important thing is, can they listen to my tunes and will they have to pay a royalty to universal if it is on their record label?
I'd have thought so, universal probably want royalties when you think about one of their artists.
Back to the topic, if you have to be within 20m, you can see them unless they do round a corner into a building or something, then this Nike+ range would be massively reduced, Apple didn't add security as it's pointless.
EDIT: How do you play those CNN videos on a Mac?
