Ooooh, I get it. They're snapping hardware on it.
As long as I can use it as a tablet, I'll be happy.

You really think apple is going to let you store music that you didn't buy from them for free? My guess is all music purchased from iTunes can be streamed, and mobile me users can upload theirs.
I hope this isn't just for music though. In mobile me you can upload photos which is nice. I would love to see this done for movies. I buy a movie from apple and can forever stream through my apple tv or iDevice. Or a monthly renting plan.
I want my media to take up less space, be easily accessible, and priced fairly.
Two possibilities:
This service must be part of MobileMe to further push Apple's sync services
MobileMe will go down to $30/year or so.
Apple can fill the rest of the cost with tiny fees from Music Industry, iAds etc. Apple can even make everything free if iAds are placed in MobileMe etc.

Attach a server to serve the storage and terminate VPN connections and you should have a working solution for a reasonable cost.

So lets see more MR member piercing pics, you know you have them and want to show us :)
Just be very careful. Continue proper hygiene. The erythematous tissue at your temple is very evident. Meaning red with slight swelling. Just be careful there are a lot of blood vessels in the area and it can be serious.

When android phones are literally being given away, what is the surprise with the 'surge'? One system is popular because people want it, but the other will eventually surpass it because its an open system on many different phone platforms that are often included for "free".
Stop being a fool. In many cases you can get an iPhone for free or even $49.

Another way to look at it is to compare Apple to HP, Dell, etc. HP, Dell, etc, use big contracts with Microsoft to get lower volume prices for Windows. They also shove in a lot of trialware, shareware, and other forms of licensed crapware to subsidize the cost. Get rid of those aspects and their prices would go up as well.
As far as all the crapware, it's definitely true the consumer systems get loaded up with it (particularly the budget boxes).
But if you order a business machine, it's not there. They know businesses don't want it, nor want to spend the time removing it. So vendors cater to this market ("extras" in terms of hardware may be missing as well, such as SD card readers for example, as businesses tend to see that as a potential security risk). So the profit margin works out.
As per Apple's pricing though, most of it is due to their love of high margins from what I've seen (i.e. Gross Margin of ~41% last I saw). Any discounts on software don't translate to a PC so much in terms of the user, as is applied to the vendor's margins (Dell, HP, ...).
Looking inside a Mac Pro chassis and a $1400 DIY desktop PC that has the same types of internal components (Xeon, et al), the Mac Pro is much better designed - virtually no cables, great cooling... it's wonderful from a technical standpoint and I came from a PC environment, both boxed and DIY setups... even the Dell Precision line - cables aplenty and a poor interior design layout in general. Yuck.
In terms of workstations and servers on the PC side, I've seen both extremes (rats nest to extremely clean and well laid out, even for the same model). So I've always wondered if the sloppy units (not a result of bad design) were the result of the system being assembled on either a Monday or Friday (spaced out/not interested in what they're doing due to weekend activities - daydreaming if you will, and possibly hung over on Monday :eek: :p).
When I think of vendors such as Silicon Graphics, DEC, and Sun of systems' past, I don't ever recall seeing a rats nest that wasn't the result of an IT person. Those would blow the MP away in terms of how well they were laid out, cooled, and ease of replacing components in a hurry. I really miss systems like these....
I've yet to look at a new HP all-in-one device, but I suspect its screen will be a TN panel. Definitely not an H-IPS that Apple routinely uses for the iMacs.
Not sure if this would be the case unilaterally (you've not indicated a model or series), but for the low cost versions, TN would be the way they'd have to go to meet the manufacturing budget. Upper scale versions however, may use the same panel (i.e. Dell uses the same H-IPS panel in the iMac in one of their monitors, so it's not impossible that HP could use it in a product or two either).
Not to mention, fewer Mac owners means they have to pay any difference on top of the rest.
There is truth to this (lower economy of scale), but in the case of an MP, they follow Intel's reference designs for the most part (added FW controller is one exception).
There is no real "Apple tax" as far as I'm concerned. There are, however, subsidies, crapware, Windows OS and its problems (the registry, fragmenting file systems, no native support, etc), et cetera. Windows might be faster at gaming, but that's only as long as the games are DirectX-optimized and the ports made to OpenGL, etc, just remain "good enough".
There's problems with OS X and firmware as well on the Mac side, so nothing is perfect. Macs can even get infected with malware if the user isn't careful, so they're not even immune to this.
I say let the user figure out which platform is best fit for them (system + software + any training that would be involved), and get on with doing whatever they need to do. ;)

This is a huge nothing issue and the press is making a big deal about it because they are all libs and they hate corporations. They will do anything to make them look evil and out to get everyone. They also like to down success in any way possible.
I have 2 iPhones, 2 iPods, 1 iPad and 2 MacBook Pros they can track until their hearts content if they want. I'd also like to track them myself so I'll keep those services turned on!
I'd like to note that i know that Apple does not gather the tracking information. I am just saying if they wanted to they can, I don't care.
Wow, this is so incredibly ignorant I can't even believe it. They can track me wherever I go, I don't care, they can grab my genitals at airports, I don't care, they can take all my money for bailouts of private banks, I don't care, they can abandon democracy, so what? I have a white iPhone, I'm the coolest!
Face it, corporations do evil/ unethical things all the time, denying this is nothing but ignorance.
But Steve says it's fine, he always speaks the truth since he's a rich billionaire ceo.

AppleTV has a great user interface. It is simple and easy to navigate.
Some of these software designers need the equivalent of an editor to reign them in. There are some really bad user interfaces on some of these devices. I think the bad designers need a perspective of someone not as familiar with the system as they are.

For those who are interested in some of the advantages of magnesium, try this (http://www.meridian-mag.com/magnesium/) page. It's in reference to auto parts, but contains interesting general info.
Yes, magnesium is very flammable, but really only in finely powdered form.

Still no word on SATA III for some or all of the busses? It shouldn't be hard to figure out, listed in System Profiler.
Pretty sure OWC noted that they only found it to be SATA II.

Even with HDDVD I don't see a benifit. Component is fine. The only advantage HDMI gives is it carries digital audio as well. This is not that big of a deal since the Xbox also has optical out.
HDMI is DVI with audio. The resolution will stay the same, quality will stay the same. HDMI is easier to connect but if your already running with component there is no need to go changing everything up for something thats going to improve it very little, if at all
Well, there are two reasons to want HDMI; 1) unused connections on your TV - it helps to have options! I only have two HD inputs on my (older) HDTV and it's nice to be able choose the input a device uses based on what's available. 2) HDCP issues with future HD movies - they've not used it yet, but there will be a time when movies will require HDCP to playback in HD.

Where are those holy souls who claimed that Android was finished when iPhone launched on Verizon. I still see a 7% growth for Android compared to a negligible 0.02% for iPhone. According to a survey, the Thunderbolt is selling more than the iPhone at most of Verizon stores nationwide. :D
