    You must not be a fan of our physical universe then.

    There is a substantial difference between real 3D and fake 3D. Real 3D is what you see around yourself everyday where depth actually exists. Fake 3D is the rubbish that the movie and electronic industry would like us to pay money for by simulating real 3D on a 2D display. It simply does not work. I don't get headaches from fake 3D but I do get very annoyed at it because I can see that it is fake 3D and it just looks wrong. The only place where I think that fake 3D stands a chance is on an enormous screen like that at an IMAX where you cannot see real 3D at the same time as you are staring at the screen.

    ...at this moment, it's not a problem most Mac users need to worry about. But blowing it off completely is sophomoric at best.

    Yup. As others have said, this isn't an Apple specific problem, but its good to expose the flaws found and get them sorted. Nothing really to see here, move along.

    Dang video keeps stalling on me. We much be flooding it with requests.

    FYI, for those that say "who cares about Walmart" there is this little fact (of which I'm not going to sight a source because I'm busy at work).
    Walmart sells 40% of all DVDs sold in the US.
    Think about that. Of all the places that sell DVDs, of all the places people go, 4 of every 10 is bought at walmart. That is ridicules power, and not something the studios will just gloss over. They will make sure they know what they are doing before making steps forward. Maybe it won't matter at all, but it isn't a number to just ignore.


    I too have a well known fact, although I can't give away my source at this time.

    The Banana market is going to explode soon. I have heard rumors and tails of a new generation of banana, and it's really going to change the way we live. So remember that, next time you hate on bananas.

    Also, G5 Powerbooks tuesday....at least, according to my deep underground sources...which I can't talk any more about....

    Well, let's be real here. It is a shooter. The game is going to mainly entail traversing levels, and shooting the enemies in the way. By nature, it is going to be repetitive. I guess I didn't feel that though, given the variety in the way you go about this; On foot, in a Warthog, in a Falcon, with a Jet Pack, in a Space Ship, with a team, by yourself. I quite liked all the various levels, and the ways the game made available to finish them.

    Yes, you are right, but the story itself, in the little I've seen of it is just more of the same, but I have not given up. I'm hoping to get back into it this weekend. :)

    I am so confused.
    I will check my old PBG4 which should be travelling somewhere in the world... If it needs replacement then it's ok.
    So, I will sit still for the next 2 months, call apple care after that and relax.

    Apple care = Worry Free

    Ironic how the Sony Handycams had that "Worry Free" ad in their batteries.

    Get a grip? I don't care if you are a Demi-god that is pretty freakin rude. Considering the Apple owns much of the flash market and the competition already sells higher capacities at lower prices I would say they are making plenty of profit. Not offering student discounts like they have in the past is just pure greed. College students provide plenty of free marketing for them and help increase their cool factor and college students are poor. They should get a break.

    Are you insane or just trolling? You're complaining because the FREE iPod that Apple is giving to you for FREE is the previous version that was just updated today, even though you're getting it for FREE!!! For you to complain about this makes YOU the rude one. You sound like a spoiled brat whining and complaining because the porche mummy and dada bought you for christmas is black instead of red. There's just no pleasing some people. :rolleyes:

    My battery serial number was in the 3K437 range, but the website accepted my computers serial number, but not the battery...

    So i changed the last letter of my battery serial number from an A to a C (B diden't work)

    And it went thru.....

    :D sweet

    Wow, I have already replied to this one above, but below is his brother apparently.

    I have a battery that seems to be on the recall list, I have a PB G4 - Model No. A1148 - Serial No. 3K542...A. But it says that the serial number is invalid. I did try to see if I could switch the last part of the number which is an "A" to "B" or "C" and while it did not take "B", it did take "C" as a valid serial number. I have had my battery for 10 months and it has worked fine and charges up to 100% with no problem and I have had no heating issues to date.

    Anyway, I don't know what's up with their site. Just thought I'd contribute my two cents.

    So even though I have a MBP and not a PB I can probably get a new battery as well by changing the serial numbers despite what is really on my battery.

    COOL!!!!!!!!!!

    Those who design websites with Flash are just lazy and poor web designers. Fortunately, those sites are becoming more and more rare.

    It's video (YouTube, et al) that Flash has a stranglehold on.

    I want HTML5 video to become standardized too, but the problem is, on what? QuickTime? Windows Media? It could very well end up much worse than Flash.

    What I need is a new MBP refresh with 160gig hard drive and no quality issues. A better GPU would be nice also.

    But a new iPod nano sound great since my current one is scratched beyond recognition.

    My wish list, which given it's been forever since Apple has updated the nano, shouldn't be too pie-in-the-sky:

    1. 12 gigs

    2. 20+ hour battery life

    3. Scratch resistent

    Battery life is the biggest issue with the iPod for me, Apple really need to work on it with the next updates.

    My speculation is simple... Front row wasn't shown just because they're not ready to release the new cinema displays with built-in cameras yet. My guess is that the price-drop on the existing displays is to move them before the ones with integrated cameras are intro'd.

    JephreyI believe Apple could address this in the (near) future in the following ways:

    1. New Cinema Displays with IR (and iSight), or

    2. Separate IR accessory (USB/IR and Apple Remote) that can be used with older Macs as well, or

    3. iSight 2.0 with built in IR sensor.

    In my opinion 1. is unlikely because unlike iMacs and notebooks, Mac Pros are frequently used with multiple monitors. It doesn't make sense to build this function in every monitor. So we may see larger and better Cinema Displays but I don't expect to see iSight/IR built-in.

    2. is better but 3. is the best because it solves two problems with the same solution. The iSight is in need of better optics as well. I expect to see it later in the year especially as the accessory would also make a good Xmas stocking stuffer.

    "What?? They released them already?? But I just bought...GAH!!!!!"- C.M.Sevilla

    I AM SO CLOSE TO THAT LINE!!!!

    In fact I just called the store and said to them; "Uh, what's wrong with this picture, I paid more for an outdated Macbook and I still haven't received it"...

    So he said that he'll cancel the original order and place a new one.

    See, I even added an extra 512MB RAM to the original order cause I had to have it with at least 1GB of ram. Glad to see it is now included in the in-store versions.

    But it was terribly close, cause they promised me the MacBook for this week and since it still didn't show up, I was getting suspicious. I guess I was right, they did release new MacBooks. I just didn't expect it...

    In any event, all is well, and they will reorder the MacBook with Core2Duo and it might take longer but I'll save some money and I'll get a better machine that is BRAND new...

    So that's my story to share on a "How close were you to buy an old mac Today" story...

    Have fun guys... and if I get it soon, I'll let you know just how well it performs and if Rosetta is still a drag... "it probably is..." but at least I'll be able to use Aperture without a problem on it...

    :) :D

    ...they had to bring the store down worldwide?
    Sometimes I wonder what Apple hires those smart people for, if it's just the morons running their daily business.

    When I was a ToysRUS kid, there were only two racks in the store and it only sold burlap sacks and one Atari game. My time has changed.

    The current camera on the iPhone 4 is stellar IMO and many others... an equal 8MP camera would be even better....

    dumbest

    argument

    ever

    you guys are arguing over nickels and dimes when it really comes down to preference. people who like os x buy it. people who like windows buy it. they dont sit and think about the cost difference between the two for the most part.

    i thought die hard mac os freaks loved it for its functionality and stability, not its price advantage? and windows haters just hate windows no matter what. good for them. im a big whore and ill get the benefits of both. ;)

    Are we under the assumption that the Lion upgrade will be $29?

    I haven't been around for a release past Snow Leopard so I'm not sure what to expect.

    Past upgrades have been very reasonable. Unlike Microsoft that depends on the price to help pay for development, Apple's hardware helps subsidize the OS development. So, it's assumed it will be a very reasonable upgrade price.

    Build your own computer its fun and cheaper. You can even use parts to ensure OS X runs on your machine if you want. Ive always built my own and never had any problems. Crossfire 6970s ftw bitches.

    I can't believe they are going to start to sell the ipad2 at radio shack, and they haven't improved on my ship date of 4 to 5 weeks. You would think that they would take care of the ones that allready paid full price for theirs. I guess they need the interest that they are getting by holding on to everyones pre-paid orders through their own apple store.:(:(


    They dont charge you till it ships:) But I Jive with your sentiments dude...I say rewards the folks who've already placed orders

    Never thought i would hear a republican say "illegal war". If this was a republican president, i think dime would be singing a different tune. If a democrat takes military action, suddenly the republicans become hippies.

    I have better things to do than rehash a situation that I have no control over. Especially a situation that gets rehashed on a biweekly basis by generally the same individuals.


    Still, four options await:

    complain; then buy a PC
    complain; but wait for what-ever-it-is-that-your-waiting-for
    don't complain; then buy a PC
    don't complain; and wait for what-ever-it-is-that-your-waiting-for

    In the mean time, I suggest that we all prepare ourselves for the reality of faster machines by mastering all of the software that we already have in our toolboxes.

    I'm done...
