What other explanation could there be for his comments?
how about simply that he doesn't know what he's talking about. If the guy was truly in the know about deals with Apple he would know that you don't talk about Fight Club. Ever.

Your wife said 'no'?
You know, this is a question that I've been wanting to ask for a long time, and this is not directed only at you, but to all responses similar to yours I've seen on such topics. It's an honest question I have, because it just blows my mind:
[...]
This is honestly something that Id like an answer to. Some of you seem to have a 'child/parent' relationship, instead of husband/wife. If she's the breadwinner of the house, and you mooch of her, fine I'd understand. But if you bring in the $$? Sounds like a disturbing and cold relationship. Why does she get to dominate you and dictate your decisions, void of any debate or discussion?
If you have shared responsibilities e.g. to send the kids to school (not realy cheap where I am), which takes a consierablen slap out of the salary, certain purchases might not be considered really important/essential for the family's well-being by the significant other (compared to lets sayspending the money for new clothes for the kid or a family trip). I still do it but tell her after the fact with a good justification (if possible). Works most of the time (and I am screwed if it doesn't).
I take it you are not married or in a serious long term relationship...?

Interesting... I was about to edit my last post that Apple's site doesn't claim the Macbook has any slots... I can't see any in the Macbook QTVR images either.
It's a USB wireless card.
Seriously, boys. This thread is an amazing pile. "You hate Apple." "No, I don't, you hate hackers." "It's Apple's fault." "It's Bob's fault." "You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!" Blah, blah blah....
It's just a typical security report. Get your panties out of a bunch and have a glass of water.
I will say, the Page 1 report is rather misleading, considering the video. MacRumors should probably modify that.

The only thing I don't like about my 12" PB is that the screen is not very bright. It's nearly unusable even in shade. Speakers could also use a boost. The MB screen is so nice! You new buyers have it so good. :)

Next Year is going to suck for buying tickets.
If we went from 8 days to 12 hours what will next year be like?
Granted, it is over $1000 cheaper and basically only 2 days but still.

According to 9to5Mac (http://www.9to5mac.com/64928/apple-and-verizon-to-deliver-over-the-air-ios-updates-to-verizon-iphone/), Apple is negotiating with Verizon about delivering over-the-air iOS updates starting with iOS 5.An over-the-air update system would allow users to download the iOS update directly to their phone over 3G or Wi-Fi and update their phone to the latest version without connecting to iTunes. Android devices already offer this feature.
Due to the high bandwidth requirement, it seems Apple needs to negotiate deals with individual carriers to allow such a system to take place. We should note that Apple's iOS is partially capable of this functionality already. The Apple TV which is based on iOS 4 offers "over the air" updates with no iTunes syncing required. The Apple TV, however, stores little customer data so backups are not as critical as with iPhone and iPad devices. :eek:
Article Link: iOS 5 to Finally Deliver Over-The-Air Updates? (http://www.macrumors.com/2011/05/04/ios-5-to-finally-deliver-over-the-air-updates/) :)
Wouldn't be a bad idea. Even if they just made "patches" so we aren't downloading half a gb of updates every 2 weeks. :(
Blow through your data cap with 650MB downloads for every point update? Not happening until Apple can deliver smaller downloads for updates.
:rolleyes: I'm starting to get the feeling that people are finding that the Verizon iPhone 4 wasn't all they thought it would be. Granted that the voice quality is better; remember you cannot use 3G while on the phone with Verizon and also remember that phones are more like 'personal communicators' these days. Now that Internet caps are being introduced, everyone is going to loose, just as a Predicted. You have more & more apps that rely heavily on cloud based content that need 3G web access. This is why I kept my AT&T grandfathered Unlimited Data Plan for both my iPhone 4 as well as my wife's iPhone 4 & my iPad 2.
On the new iPad, unlimited cell internet is awesome. You can watch movies from anywhere, etc. all without worrying about your bandwidth or throttle limitations. :apple:

You don't understand how that could come off as racist? The many successful black role models around today simply don't exist in your world view somehow?
I'll agree some of the comment's weren't in the best taste. But take a step back and look at some of the numbers they're really are some worrying disparities between black communities and other communities in the US (and apparently Britain as well).
http://articles.cnn.com/2009-04-08/living/out.of.wedlock.births_1_out-of-wedlock-unwed-mothers-wedding-dress/2?_s=PM:LIVING
Almost 80% of black women give birth outside of wedlock. Which is roughly twice the average rate and 3 times the rate of white women. And a dis-proportionate number of crimes are committed by black men.
I'm NOT trying to claim that there aren't successful well educated black people out there. Obviously there are lots of them (including our current president) but your being delusional if you cannot recognize there are some very serious problems in the black community.
One obviously needs to consider factors like poverty, lack of education etc. And even today there are certainly lingering problematic ripples from slavery and segregation.
But there are cultural issues which members of the black community are going to have to confront.
--> Entertainment Role Models - There is a massive shortage of visible role models in the black community. Don't get me wrong I love rap and hip hop but it is abundantly clear that much of this music glorifies woefully poor behavior.
--> Language (you might be able to lump this in with education) I would never hire someone who can't speak passable English but never the less this ridiculous cultural lingo persists and propagates.
There are plenty of other problems to consider, but its seriously important that we start discussing this ****. Because the issues definitely aren't going go away if we close our ears and scream LALALALA !!

And they don't infringe your rights at all, the constitution grants you rights in your dealings with the government, not private entities.

A debate over a lease near an NRA space. To that end - spend your dollars where you want is my say on it....

Front page news since there had been reports that BBY was holding back inventories for this promotion. And from the comments, very few if any could be had. Working retail this sort of ad is a nightmare; and having done 4-color ads for the company the lead times can hurt.
I am sure that there will be business books written on the iPad2 release - "The Perfect Storm" of exceeded demand beyond expectations, a supply disruption to components due to a natural disaster, and the willingness of consumers to pay "scalper prices" and the supply chain unwilling or unable to control "scalper" purchases.
And the nightmare of BBY holding a customer "hostage" for the $100 deposit to be placed on a waiting list. The way I hear it if a customer at BBY places a $100 deposit it is via a BBY Gift Card - locking the consumer in to spending $100 at BBY regardless if they had been able to get an iPad2 from another source. Gift Card agreements generally state they are not refundable.
While maybe not against some local consumer protection laws - there are those that don't read the fine print. May be their fault; but can be a headache for a smaller retailer that abides by common sense reality.
That can be tough for any retailer these days. With the Net (and without); I have seen at my job folks that place multiple orders with multiple same stores or vendors - seeing who can deliver first. At least for my shop we take deposits via a credit card.
