I hope Mac gaming takes off. DirectX games for Windows currently rule. Maybe this will change things.

LOL at iOS and Android.
By recent measures iOS has most of the mobile app revenue, even Nokia and RIM earns more revenue than Android.

This is in line with the iPhone life cycle.
2007 - iPhone (the Apple Beta)
2008 - iPhone 3G - Complete Redesign (or, IMHO, the "real" launch)
2009 - iPhone 3GS - Modest update
2010 - iPhone 4 - Complete redesign
2011 - iPhone 4.5 - Modest update
2012 - iPhone 5 - Complete redesign. (or at least, significant overhaul.)
iPad, iPod Touch & iPod Nano follow this curve. I feel like we can expect a revolutionary new device every 2 years, and a modest upgrade in between.
seems like apple is using the same modus operandi "tick-tock" as intel :cool::apple:

Use Firewire between them and boot the second computer in Target Disk Mode.
See here (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661) for details.
IIRC it apparently works with 8.6 or later.
Or like chrismacguy has just said, swap drives.

For some reason I don't think that last video is legitimate. He never showed that it actually downgraded the OS after all that "updating".

Damn. Exactly what I was going to say... down to the letter. So I shall repeat with different words to those listening:
Apple makes pennies on the iTMusicS (the story might be different for shows and games). Some people want to own an iPod, but don't want to pay iTS store prices or use their $0.99/song, end of story, model. Solution: buy mp3, d/l mp3 illegally, buy FairPlay elsewhere. With exception of Real Harmony, the last option has not existed.
Where Apple makes the money is iPod sales. HUGE money. However, Apple can't promote the three aforementioned options outright, not when it has the largest FairPlay (and altogether) legal music d/l store on the 'net. So the only thing they can do is not dissuade people from using the other options... forcefully, at least. All I remember Apple saying about Real Harmony was "they're hackers with questionable methods," or something like that.
As Mr. Green said, the only risk I would see is if others tried to make a FairPlay compatible "mp3" player. I wouldn't see it going places unless sync'd with iTunes or a different phenominal jukebox. Thus, Apple likely writes that possibility off as someone else "pulling a Zune."
hehe. We don't even know how the zune will do in reality but we love to pick on it here. I must be on a Mac Forum. :p

Wow! "Does not make more than a few pennies." I do not think either of you appreciate the power of small numbers, when multiplied by millions of transactions and time. Soap companies have understood this for several hundred years, clearly Apple understands it as well. The individual unit profit on iPods is clearly higher, but each iPod sold acts as a multiplier of where the real money is made. What a dream to earn just one half of one cent of every iTunes purchase. If globally they sell a million songs a day, I'd receive $5k a day or $1,825,000 a year.

Sandy Bridge Processors which are the new generation of processors that right now we see in the new i3, i5 and i7 but there will be more upcoming cores that use this technology.

I run a business. I send Excel files to customers. I **need** the files to be perfect, no voodoo at all, no weirdness with fonts or file conversion or print area. If it's even slightly voodoo-istic, I will not be able to use it since almost everything I do with Excel is loaded by my customers on a PC.

It seems like the kind of situation they should be monitoring before it gets to be a problem. Or maybe they did, and that's why they were fixing it on the weekend. All in all, two hours was a small sacrifice. And now we have proof that MacRumors is one of the hottest sites on the Internet!

Can the mods create a new section for ATT and Verizon? Only been one day but the forum is cluttered with all the Verizon issues. Do we really have to go through this all again?

I like the mba, but they are so god awful slow. Maybe im just used to fast computers but no way i could use current gen of mba. Maybe next time but 6 year old tech is a bit to old for me.

For training you might want to go through the forum or the apple tech support forum, you'll get to see common issues and how to solve them. Try to think of the question they might ask you, but more importantly, put yourself in a place that you can answer those kind of questions. Think of more general stuff so you have your mind set to respond to precise questions. What is Apple to you? or what ever... Really, you can't think of everything they might ask you and have a canned response, how is that even an interview if you already know what you'll say. Be sharp and don't ********, if you don't know, say you're not sure and make an educated guess.
As for looks, I think you should just go there like you usually look, clean and honest. Be yourself, that's why they're interviewing you.

I've not read it, but I'v heard of Scott Thompson, R. (2006) Quartz 2D graphics for Mac OS X developers (http://www.amazon.com/Quartz-2D-Graphics-Mac-Developers/dp/0321336631/).

I recent had to make this same decision......
In my case, I had to chose between a Quicksilver 733 that CompUSA had for $999 (including 2 year warranty) or one of the new ones (in my case, probably the dual 867) for $1699.
I went with the Quicksilver, and with the money I saved from the new ones...I've replaced the stock hard drive with 2 WD Special Edition drives, maxed out the RAM at 1.5GB, and will add a DVD-R drive. With the upgrades, I've still spent less than $1699.
I don't regret my choice at all....I realize "official" benchmarks will show my machine is slower than the new models, however, after having played with them in the store, my eyes can't tell any difference. Yes, for Photoshop and iMovie, the new ones would probably save me some time, but the Quicksilver will hold me over nicely until there is a "major" upgrade.
I'll be content to keep this until Apple goes with the new IBM chip, which seems to be able to offer a significant performance boost. Until then, I'll have a drink and wait :)

I like the new design, though it's very much information indeed. What I really miss is the news preview. I could see before, if it's worth to look at "Page 2", because the newest article was shown. Now, I will have to take a look.
Edit: Oh, I just saw, that I can see it on the left side, so forget about it.

My friend bought this last month. I was weary of the controls at first, but after I started playing it I didn't give a rat's arse.
We finally finished all 6 games last Saturday. It cost on average $10 in credits for each game. So for $39 the game is a deal. :)
I loved the part where my character got turned into an uzi wielding orangutan. :D
