But, at least they include a HDMI cable and don't forget to tell you that you can't get full HD without it, eh Sony.
Oops, that was a little console war-ish of me.
Not at all.....since others are adding complete costs of accessories to the price of the Xbox 360, it's only fair of you to mention that one needs to add the cost of the HDMI cable to the PS3 so that it can actually be in "true" high definition (since it is not high definition out of the box). Has that little tid-bit actually been forgotten by everyone already? So add another $20-$100 depending on how "good" of an HDMI cable one will want/need/be told is the best, etc. :)
The Premium 360 was already giving you HD out of the box and now the Elite will give you HDMI HD out of the box, just as many had hoped for. The PS3 does not give you that. Sony needs to now step up and add this cable for free to their PS3. Then if each company keeps trying to "one-up" the other eventually we'll have consoles that are cheaper, cooler, quieter, come with all accessories one will ever need, and 10 free games :)
In the end; Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are all out to make a profit. There are many things each could do with their consoles to make them better for us, but they will only do these things once they feel they need to and cannot do much more with the current pricing/configurations. Right now, people are willing to pay these prices so why would a profit driven company want to reduce prices at this point?
I'd like to see:
-360 Elite with wireless for the current premium price and maybe an HD-DVD version for $100 more
-Nintendo Wii for $199 with the ability to connect a USB hard drive (as mine is filling up with all the VC purchases)
-PS3 $100 price drop and included HDMI/Component Cables
All 3 of these companies should do this before Christmas. I'll consider a PS3 once the price comes under $500 and includes the cable (mainly for Blu-Ray). The other 2 I have but I'd consider selling my 360 to get a newer one if the elite contained the above.
Hopefully they will all keep updating their consoles randomly, as I tend to have video game consoles longer than I have computers or cars :) I'd like to upgrade a console every now and then if it's a little better.

I've been waiting 3 weeks to buy a MBP assuming at least that iLife 07 would be announced today. Yet iLife 06 is still in the apple store..ARGH. Absolutely no computer announcements. This is extremely frustrating.

I'm really sick of the 3D gimmick trying to make a comeback. We can only see in 2D. All the "3D" can do is trick us into havung depth perception on a flat screen.

It's a shame that it's this late in the iP4's life cycle that it's being released but they must have perfected whatever was holding it back ready for the next release.

You are not comparing like with like. The comparable model to a Mac Pro is the Dell Precision T5500 and specced up the Dell is about $1,000 more than the Mac Pro. :p

I never thought of myself as an iMac type of guy. More of a MBP for work, Mac Pro for home.
Apples hardware release of late have been catching my eye also. Unfortunately the last Mac I owned was a Mac Plus, but Apple has become much more competitive of late.
But the 24" iMac is shaping up to be a great computer. 750 gig drive is sweet, 3 gigs of memory, huge display, and fast.
Yep and with things like Santa Rosa and hopefully continued success with low power processors from Intel I see a long future for the machine. It is a platform that was pretty much dead ended with the lack of the right PPC processors.
I always hated the wires and general visual mess of the normal desktop. Even in the age of bluetooth, there are too many wires.
I don't every see that going completely away. What I do see is far fewer of those wires and more and more hardware sitting on network connections. From what I can see Apple thinks the same way.
I think the 24" iMac is shaping up to be a great prosumer computer. I'm seriously considering purchasing one now.
A very nice machine though to be honest with you, unless this is a Christmas present, I wouldn't bother with a desktop until after new years. Or until after the industry shakes out all of its upgrades and new products.

FYI, EVERY application run in OSX natively takes advantage of multi-cpus.
Even on a G4, OSX will make every attempt to load the CPUs evenly no matter the application. There are only a few very rare instances where the work can't be split up, and most of them are limited to photoshop's outdated tools.
Nope, the app has to be specifically multi-threaded to see more than 1 core, it doesn't matter what OS X does. All OS X does is allow apps to do this and sends different threads to different cores. But if the app can't see more than 1 core all its data will only go to 1 core.

I continue to be amazed by the number of students at my community college that have iPhones. These are students who for the most part are struggling to make ends meet, yet were willing to spend their limited cash that way. There are at least two or three students with iPhones in each of my classes; two years ago, I didn't see any -- and mine was a curiosity to them.
people value what they value. do you think they are getting what they paid for in terms of education? probably not.

didnt like the advice from my guy huh? :mad:
just playing around... hope it heals well, and just try to keep it clean, but don't obsess of the cleanliness, otherwise it will take too long to heal. man its going to be a pain to keep my industrial from getting infected LOL, those are the worst. btw, any blood or puss or green oozing crap? dont worry about any of that, its normal and healthy. :)
Salt water feels good, when you put the shot glass to the face for 15 min, it creates a vacuum, helping to draw any bad stuff out. My piercing seems to like it. it helps with irritation and itching too?
Ill be trying the 3M product that was recommended on the site too, thanks for the link.

I just came across this app the other day...I really really hope AT&T promotes/advertises this app...at least to make the APPEARANCE that AT&T cares about it's network's weakness(es).
As of last night, only about 1150 people reviewed it...pretty lame considering the millions of iPhone users and it's been available for almost a month. Every iPhone owner should have this app.

Love my Android... Sorry Apple, but I can't afford the iPhone.
That sounds a little funny coming from a guy with a brand new high end mbp and iPad 2 in his sig...
Anyway, this is interesting. Seems like apple and google are almost not competing. The people who want an iPhone get an iPhone. The people who don't choose among the other options, and google is winning that battle by a lot.

What century are you living in? we've moved passed Li-ion; onto Li-po's now. Do you even know what an OS is?
It was a joke. Li-Ion. As in "Lion" (the animal in the picture..?)
Never mind, most people got it.

Actually, LoopRumors (http://www.looprumors.com/LoopBlackPopup.php?leopard-available-at-mwsf-07) is reporting that Leopard might be released at Macworld next January.
If true, that will probably make 10.5.0 worse off than 10.4.0 was, and we all know how bad 10.4.0 was... :rolleyes:

The reason these rumors keep circulating is because Apple is months behind on the development of this product. They originally intended for it to come out around April 2006 but a redesign forced them to go back to the drawing board.
Nobody in their right mind would take a look at the pathetic 5.5th generation "upgrade" and think that was what Apple had planned all along.

Quick questions - How does folding with multiple GPU in a rig work? Do you use one GPU client and all the GPUs fold that one WU faster or do you use a GPU client for each card?
One client per card. So I will have 5 clients in total running. 4 GPU and 1 SMP.

The white iPhone is the "Good" model it only allows you to listen to nice tinkly music and play non-violent games and it will not record your location in a hidden file without your knowledge... unlike the "Evil" dark lord black iPhone, which knows where you live and is even now plotting your untimely demise - allegedly.
