Just curious why you chose Best Buy over the Apple Store?
I am choosing BB because I have some Reward Zone certificates that I am going to use towards the purchase, plus the RW points will go towards getting another cert to use in the future.

Either they abuse their phones or are a member of the new generation who think that if a phone is 2 years old, it's on it's "last leg".
I told a friend of mine today who is thinking about buying the iPhone 4 but is worried about all this "outdated technology" talk that if he does and still has the phone 3 or 4 years from now, he'll still have a great phone.
1. My 3GS is starting to have radio reception issues. I don't pick up the 3G network most of the time now, and I've had to switch back to EDGE only in order to avoid the "Searching..." and "No Service."
It's not inconceivable for phones to have parts that stop working after two years of consistent use.
2. The iPhone 4 will be outdated tech by this time next year. Apple drops support for older models as they go, either with key features of iOS upgrades or the entire software suite. It'll lack access to LTE, which will mean certain apps will run poorly or not at all, and it'll almost certainly be prevented from running some software that gets designed over the next year for the iPad 2 and new iPhone 4S processor.
But, whatever -- keep giving your friend baseless advice.

4.3 have my ipod4 screen flashing and it drain the battery fast from what i heard on iClarified?
Oh, so when you say it has bugs, you're simply repeating what you hear from others, not actually coming up with any sort of actual original thought based on personal experience? How very American of you.
LOL. Seriously. I have an iPad 2 ... no flickering or battery draining fast, you're actually the first I've heard of it.
My only "issue" with 4.3 is that it's still an iPad, and I'm getting sick of looking at this thing. I have a Xoom too and LOVE it... need to pick one or the other to go back to the store cause carrying both suck. I have a feeling the iPad is going back because I don't believe anyone's going to have a jailbreak for 4.3 in the next several weeks.

I really don't think Apple will update the Air's with Sandy Bridge.
Here is why, the high resolution display (1440X900) will make the Intel graphics a major downgrade from the 320m in performance. I think the Air will get updated with the next MBP update (2012) and the 13" MBP and MBA become one with Ivy processors. Also at this time I expect the 15" and 17" MBP's to become "Air" like with SSD storage, thinner, and lighter.
I was holding out for the update, but came to this conclusion and made my purchase, which I couldn't be more satisfied with.
I may be wrong, but I would rather have the 320m if they do update it, the Thunderbolt is what will hurt if you use external drives..

They should be to you either today or tomorrow, ive been busy lately and it took me a few days to get them out.
Thanks they were recieved today!
And were new as described!
Sorry for the (-) attention, I wasn't sure what the status was as you didn't send me an email after I sent the paypal payment, and your Macrumors PM inbox was full.

I don't know anything about ATA passwords, but one of the expected new features of Lion is whole disk encryption. You might as well wait for that and get it free with the OS and supported by Apple.

I thought it was dead.
The reports of it's death were greatly exaggerated, partly due to a misunderstanding about the intent of NeoOffice.
Hmm, blatant misrepresentation and sensationalism on Slashdot, whould'a thunk :rolleyes:
Basically the developers had said that the Aqua native version was not going to be under active development, because they didn't have the resources and thought NeoOffice was the way to go. The X11 version was always being worked on.
I think the NeoOffice developers (both of them! Have to give those two a huge amount of thanks for what they've done), have since worked something out to make sure an Aqua native version is not permanently shelved either.

well i've got a couple of friends playing the exact game on the i5 one.
They are telling me it runs alright, but sometimes they expirenced a little lag.
So do you think, buying the i7 would make it lag less or even better not lag at all?

Sweet tomorrow 4-6!
Ive noticed youve been down for the last week :( Man that sucks :( that has to be hard. A lot of areas around me were also affected. My sister on the other side of town lost power for nearly 2 days when a big oak tree fell down on some power lines. Came close to their house. Just hope everyone is safe.
yeah it has not been fun. i had to take my family to my parents' place for the last 5-6 days. luckily none of my family was hurt, and we didn't have any damage.

LG-Philips is the current provider of LCD panels for the ACDs. I found this press release on the LG-Philips corporate site:
To meet the growing need for high-quality LCD panels in the desktop monitor market for graphic design and video production uses, LG.Philips LCD has developed wider color gamut products, including the world�s largest monitor panel, measuring 30 inches diagonally, as well as a 26-inch model. Both panels boast superior color gamut of 117 percent.
Maybe a refresh isn't too far away. Personally, I think the design and size for the 30" will not change but the performance will see a boost.

take it easy on them, they saved apple's ass in the 90's. if it weren't for them apple would have gone 'rupt. they also have to worry about a thousand different hardware configurations whereas os x 10 has to worry about the mac line.. give 'em a break. (not an ms fanboy) :mad:
yeah!
come to think of it, if it weren't for them and their illegal/immoral practices Apple would be at 90% and linux would be the underdog and there would be no Windows, so....
...errrr, hang on, what?

I was in school, which starts at 8:00. When we arrived there was nothing going on. 20 minutes later there were about 10 police cars on the grounds and a bunch of parents shouting "Wheres my kid!" - the school refused to tell the students anything for fear of the kids being scared. Don't worry: the constant showing of two buildings falling scared everyone anyway.

2 questions/points to ponder:
1. How much cash does AAPL have as of Apriil 22, 2011
2. Doesn't the cash after say $30 billion basically become just investment vehicles? You can do all the pre-purchasing of supplies + R&D with WELL under $30 billion for a company like Apple. Essentially companies like MSFT/AAPL/Google with HUGE cash reserves become like banks.

It's a damn shame about not being able to boot off more than one volume that is on the 1880 controller as I ultimately wanted to have 2x 240GB 6G mercury drives each with a different OS in pass through mode, now it looks like I will go for a slightly cheaper SATA2 SSD for the Win 7 install since it will be off the onboard controller.
There's not that many SSD's out yet that can exceed a 3.0Gb/s controller (most reach sustained sequential throughputs of ~250MB/s or so, and 3.0Gb/s is good for ~270 -275MB/s), so you don't need to panic over this.
I suppose I could still RAID0 2x 240GB 6G Mercury drives and use bootcamp to install on a 240GB partition dedicated to Windows 7, but this would be a riskier setup since I would loose access to both OS if the RAID0 played up. The Mac would not have trouble booting two OS off a partitioned RAID0 volume would it?
You won't be able to do this. :(
Boot Camp doesn't work with RAID (hardware or software). So you'll have to use a single disk on the ICH (no need to run the Boot Camp utility, as it's a partition tool). The BC disk does include Windows drivers however (setup.exe), so you may need to run those, particularly for wireless drivers.
You can place the OS X disk either on the ICH or RAID card (flash the firmware, set the disk as the boot location).
The mercury drives do sound reliable though, do you think a RAID0 with the 2x new 6G Mercury's is viable option? Or should I get those RAID edition Mercury drives, what makes them more suitable for RAID anywhere?
The only difference between them is the amount of over-provisioning (additional capacity used for wear leveling; 7% for the Pro series, 28% for the RAID Edition series).
There doesn't seem to be any other differences (same controller and firmware timings from what I can tell). Both have been used successfully in stripe sets on both the ICH and hardware RAID cards. So if you're doing more reads than writes, the Pro series would be fine. If you're going to do a lot of writing (massive amounts of data), then the RE series may be the way to go. Another trick, is not to fill the SSD up all the way.
Nanofrog, could you please tell me what is the special cable that I need to get to use the 2nd SFF-8087 internal port on the Areca 1880 to connect an external enclosure?

They both come with Airport and Bluetooth 2. Both have built-in mic and the Powerbook has an audio-in port that allows you to plug in a real mic.
