Car Modern 2011

I agree that my missing FW port as someone who uses FW drives and Target Disk Mode a lot is my biggest gripe.

Well, I can't really complain about the lack of FW because I knew it didn't have it when I chose to buy it. It's the limitations they didn't make obvious that bother me, like Bootcamp.

But thanks for sharing the "Collectors Edition" title. I like that and I'll be using it from now on.

perhaps down the line for the US market, for the european market a NA I4 2.4 liter engine with 173hp is just going to gather dust in the showrooms


Hyundai will never consider the 2.4-liter I-4 engine for the European market for one reason: many European countries impose an excise tax based on engine displacement, and 2.4 liters will get hit with a pretty steep excise tax for European sales. That's why the Honda Accords sold in Europe use a 2.0-liter petrol engine, not the K24 2.4-liter engine found on US-market Accords.

A more likely solution for European sales--especially with the availability of higher-octane petrol there--would be a turbocharged version of the 1.6-liter GDI engine, which would bump the horsepower to around 175-180 bhp.

If Apple always intended to release the new 6G/widescreen iPod at the same time as the Zune, why did they bring out the 5.5G so recently?
The iTunes 5->6 transition and iPod mini->nano transitions should demonstrate that just because something is new and/or successful it doesn't mean that it won't be replaced suddenly by Apple on a whim. :p

The flip of it, is you have great Apple products to enjoy :)

No kidding since July I've bought the following products:

Apple Remote
MAC OS X 10.6.3 SNOW LEOPARD
Wireless keyboard
Mac Mini
Magic trackpad
iPad G1
iPod Touch 4G 64GB
iPod Nano 16GB
iPad 2

Airport Express - Airplay is really cool. Nice to have my entire library now available for streaming.

So ridiculous dude. Just embarassing. Do you really think anyone has the time or desire?


Sure. Lots of newbies do. A jobs a job. Beats having to say "[d]o you want fries with that?"

It was showing the wwdc event bout half an hour earlier

I wonder if someone like me could use it?

So with the announcement of the new MBPs I've decided to wait for the redesign of the computer slated to take place next spring and build a new desktop now. Specs will be as follows:

Lian Li PC-A05NB case
Intel 2600k
MSI P67A-GD65 (argh hurry up everyone with getting the new mobos out there already! I don't even care about SATA II!)
8GB DDR3 1600
AMD 6970 (chose mainly because it won't make the lights dim as much as the Nvidia competitors when it runs)
Corsair AX850 PSU
WD Caviar Black SATA III HD
Blu Ray optical combo drive (already have)

I was going to put a 60GB SSD in there as the system drive but after reading a bunch of reviews I've decided that the reliability just isn't there for me yet.

This should be a giant boost over my current 2005 build desktop pc (and surprisingly slightly cheaper actually).

Just to clarify this:

This effect has a) nothing to do with the accelerometer or gyro; b) nothing to do with the effect seen in Nintendo 3DS c) nothing to do with perceiving depth.
What looks amazing on that video because it is 2D is actually a not very convincing effect. The problem is, that the display is NOT a 3D display. Don't get this wrong, there is no 3D functionality built in the iPad 2 whatsoever, so both of your eyes will see the same picture, so that you won't think that this is 3 dimensional at all.

If, however, this technique could be combined with a new display technology that works like the (pretty bad btw) display of the 3DS, BUT with some kind of moving "sweet spot", this effect could in fact trick your eyes in a very convincing way (and would be the first 3D display technology that would convince me). There are I think already patents for a display like that. I think they even are from apple.

(Sorry for the english btw, not a native speaker)

Both print and digital. What's the difference between a website and a digital magazine? Nothing. Stop wasting your time and money creating special electronic editions and apps and just make a damn website. And why charge anything for the digital version? You don't have to print it and you don't have to distribute it and you're already making money from online advertising.

My extended family numbers 11 households and 6 students. Over the past three years, only one new purchase was not a Mac. None of them run anything except OSX. Some purchased Office:Mac, and that is because they wanted Excel.

If the new version of iWork contains a good spreadsheet, it will be a big deal for the business community and their sales. Most people only use the basic functions of spreadsheets and formatting of a word processor. An all Apple solution brings their cost lower than a comparable PC.

That's not how steam works. When you purchase something through steam, you can download and install it as many times as you want. If your computer crashes, all you have to do is reinstall steam log into your account and redownload it. This is one of the reasons why steam is so popular.

as far as the price. $50 for games is standard, especially for pc ( and I guess now mac ). It costs millions of dollars to make and promote a game. Most games for consoles are $60 and there PC counterpart are $50 because both microsoft and sony take $10 off each sale. If you are concerned with the length of the game, go read a few reviews and they will all tell you the game is much much longer then the original, plus it includes a co-op mode with different levels. $50 seems pretty good to me.

Also, it's supply/demand. Millions of people are going to go out and spend $50 on the game, so why not sell it at $50? The nice thing about steam is, if you can find it cheaper elsewhere, you can still install it on your PC/Mac and play it through steam. But a lot of people are willing to pay the $5 extra to get the convenience of not needing to ship or wait in a line to buy the game.

the streaming distribution of the game is much cheaper then phyiscal copy distribution. I just saying they can add an incentive to make people download it, and they make more MONEY. Which is a given they are making alot more per digital copy sold compared to phyiscal copy sold. There is sizible production cost with making phyiscal copy, distributing to retailers, and then giving cut to retailer who selling it. Especially as the title gets older and retailer take more on each sale.

Currently, I noted that it is cheaper to buy physical copy then it is to buy digital copy. That shouldn't be the case. And I believe eventually wont be the case in future for software. I not debating that there are costs involved with making these games, I am debating what the streaming model should look like. It show be cheaper.:o

The real question is, how does apple expect to sell the new Mac Pro when so many of the apps that PROs use are not universal and will be slower than they are on current power macs. Why not just get a refurb to tide you over?

I know they have to release these I'm just saying that it's going to be a hard marketing sell for a lot of people.

Are they serious? I can track someone from as far as 600 feet away, just using my eyes.

It would be impossible to spy one someone if you had to remain within 60 feet of them at all times...

Agreed. If the person need to be within 60 feet of the wearer, they already know where the wearer/runner is

Yipee!
I hope it won't be too busy, so guys: let me watch first...:p

so far these new ipods don't make me want another one yet
i will keep mine for awhile.

You are totally misinformed or you are a blind iFanboy. As per a story on Appleinsider today, Android web share is actually higher than that of iPhone.

Maybe you should read the article a little closer before you make accusations. All Android devices combined exceed the iPhone. Which the article points out is not an apples to apples comparison. There was no breakdown by Android smartphones to make a legitimate comparison to the iPhone.

Hello,

I don't want to start a Mac/PC/Hackintosh debate. Yet what those hackintosh prove is that Apple is charging a "Mac Pro tax" of around 1000$, +/- a few hundreds depending on configuration. Even if that tax was only 500$ +/- a few hundreds, the question remains: why?

Now don't answer that it's the general Apple tax. How can Apple sell the iMac, which offers very good power (some even rivalling the MP), very good graphics on everything but the base model, an incredible display, more RAM than the base MP model, for a very very good price? Add to that the fact that iMac are rumored to be upgraded in the next few days/weeks with Sandy Bridge.

So again, why does Apple charge that MP tax?

Loa

Im waiting for the negative comments on something thats just plain' ol good news.

This is lame! I don't care about the iPad 2-I want to know more rumours about the iPad 3 and its release.

There. Happy?:D

you don't want -advmethods.

that's the problem i think. try it without -advmethods, and you should see a huge gain

edit: well i'm not sure. i don't think what you did is the same as -advmethods, but i am not sure. you do have core_15, which is what you want.

you are getting 14k ppd with that card?

Why would anyone with half an ounce of common sense buy the 750GB HD from Apple directly for the Mac Pro for a $399 upgrade for the first one and then $599 for each additional one when you can just buy a new one (or two or three) from Fry's.com for $159 each (http://www.frys.com/product/4924331)?! Shipping is $9. I can see if you don't want to take apart the imac to put a new drive in, but the Mac Pro has to be the easiest computer to add a HD to! I am all for good technology but i am loyal to my wallet not increasing apples profits by 3 fold per hard drive. And why can't these Mac Pro's have Hardware RAID controllers?!

Hope this is true...

Same here, its grayed out. It was working for me earlier but then I got this message :(

Most likely you might have the Delphi pump.. I never had the Panasonic when I had my G5 Quad 2.5 years ago, but then again from what I heard and also read on xlr8yourmac.com, very very few G5 Quads had problems with the LCS and leaks, compared to the dual 2.5 and 2.7 models.

Right you are. It is a Delphi. The plastic pin is a real pain to get out. So far so good everything is nice and dry. The hoses still appear to look good. There was only a very slight dust covering on them. Probably from all the months I use to take it outside and blast it with the air cans. Gave it a good thorough blast to get rid of whatever dust bunnies that was left behind the plastic radiator protector and nuke and crannies. It's knocked 5c off the temperatures. 50c idle, 54c during web browsing and hardly any whirring now. It was only mild whirring recently.
