Parab�ns Brasil. Mais crescimento financeiro.
Not only good for Brazil, it's good for anyone buying electronics made by Foxconn and a good trend.
Manufacturing needs to re-globalize. China has taken on too much. Brazil and India need to get in the game and compete.
And remember -- US Companies are the primary people using these services. Microsoft would not have succeeded at X-Box, and Apple wouldn't have hit the price points for iPod/iPhone/iPad with out this type of off-shore low cost assembly business.
Basically, it's not a zero sum game. Wealth is being created all along the production chain.

Is it likely that this update will eliminate the need to use the smcfancontrol app that so many have recommended to combat the RSS? Or would you continue to use it as well???

Your point would be valid IF SHE HAD A FAMILY TO HAUL AROUND ANYMORE. ...Edit...
And yes, I do feel good about myself. I drive a vehicle that gets 95+ mpg.
My diesel SUV will EAT your 95 MPG mini-mini. Hoooya. and when did this become the Auto blog?

Again, the military is inextricable from the economy.
So the military is too big to fail?
Not only is that bullsh**t, but it is the wet dream of conservatives: build up the military and infiltrate the economy to a point that it can't be cut.
To those opposed to doing drastic cuts.....what do you plan to do to deal with the hundreds of millions affected if the country goes bankrupt?
As jknight said, prop up defense contractors all you want. But what are you going to do when the country goes the way of the Soviet Union?

That's like saying that Microsoft should make windows work better with iTunes... kinda backwards.
Given that Safari is the fastest browser out there, I think Apple has done their part. Adobe needs to step up, and optimize flash for osx.
Well, if iTunes was a plugin, used by virtually 100% of the world's computer users, then Microsoft would care enough, to ensure that it ran well on its platform.
Apple has been fairly hostile to Flash, and has obviously not cared enough, to ensure that Flash performs well on its platform.
And as far as Safari being the fastest browser, you believe in ads way too much. Safari is the most inefficient of the major browsers with Flash, and it has some serious issues with Java. It takes it about three times longer to load my iGoogle page, than either Camino or Firefox.
After I did my tests with Flash (see my post above), I finally changed from having Safari as the default browser, to Firefox 3.6 Beta, on all my Macs, as well as on my HTPC (W7). Safari has a great UI, IMO, but I actually customized Firefox to look just like Safari, so I am happy.
But if my iPhones 3GS don't get Flash in the next few months, through jailbreaking or officially, I'll be looking carefully at some of the new Androids with the enormous screens soon.
I love Apple, I love their design. But I already switched to Windows for my Home Theater box, after realizing that Apple would never deliver what I wanted, and I'll switch my phones even easier, if my Internet experience is crippled, because of the lack of Flash.

They ADDED a screw?? I mean, they drilled a new hole in the casing???
That seems like a crazy repair job if ever I've heard one.
Yeap, they drilled a hole in the center of the macbook and added a screw.

They should do a commercial with the Mac and PC guy. The Mac guy can have an iPod the PC guy a Zune. Enter cute girl. She gets an earbud from the Mac guy as she smiles looking like they might start making out. PC guy gets that dude in a dress asking, "Did you get it? I don't get it!"

Ebay!!! There are deals to be found - got my 64Gb, Black, wi-fi, for 785! that was after I used the 10%(!) coupon they gave me for using paypal. Got lucky and found a guy locally that wasn't a greedy whore, and was happy to have made an extra 90 bucks for his time on line.

My iphone 4 takes better pictures than any high end or low end sony camera I played with at best buy. The camera on the phone is just effing awesome.
You either played with broken cameras or didn't know how to use them. Don't get me wrong, the iPhone 4 camera is pretty darn good, best I've used on a phone by a long shot, but in no way does it compare to a high end camera. I think maybe you were simply fooled due to the higher DPI of the retna display vs the screen on the digital camera. Rest assured if you look at them using comprable displays or even better, in print, there would be no comparison.

Can Apple improve battery support to support LTE and A5 processor? I'd love it if they did, but we know Apple likes to take very firm single steps. Maybe it's time to upgrade the screen size to get more under the hood (and stick the antenna back in there).

I believe the GeForce 7600 GT is on par with the X1800 GT, faster in some cases, slower in others. It's a pretty good graphics card. I would just like to see the GeForce 7600 GT bump out the 7300 GT on Mac Pro.
Cheers.
So, the 7600 GT card should be a good gaming card.
I mean, I am still looking for a replacement of my dead gaming PC, and thought the Mac Pro too expensive (don't need all 4 Cores) for my Mac needs + PC gaming needs together.
But this 24" iMac, is en excellent computer for my combined needs! (I am sure, I am not the only one who wants the Mac for every day stuff, and a PC just for gaming....)

Augh, I was hoping they would redesign the G5 case. Its been 3 years!! Cmon apple, stop milking old designs. I think this is the first time that Apple hasnt changed the look of the case when going to a new processor (theyve even changed cases when NOT changing processors...)

Remember the beige G3's? When Jobs first came back, he put the 233 G3's into the same beige boxes the old 604's were in so that they could be released sooner.

Anyone knows if the mac pro allows us to upgrade to PCI graphics cards bought from retail stores? Will there be any driver issues? Do graphics card vendors include Mac drivers on their installation disc? Never seen one that does though..

3) Demand that all female employees shave their mustaches.
I am 73 years old, I live in Rogers, AR as does my daughter. My daughter is a Walmart employee! She does not have a mustache! The preceding remark is, in my opinion, unnecessary, cruel and sexist.
There is a great deal about Wal Mart to depise but none of them justify such a gatuitous attack on women, many of whom are single parents, that work hard there to support their families.:(

No Sunday iPad2's in any of my area BestBuy stores. Told they did not arrive, put in a reservation in case they show up in the next day or two. Otherwise I have to wait for my May 5th shipping date from Apple.

why would u really need a better resolution for the iSight?
Use it as a video/security/iChat/Games camera.
Use it for higher quality still shots.
Have improved video chat quality when real broadband speeds available. I have 1meg up 8meg down, that should be fast enough for some decent video.
its stupid
:eek:
all most people do is take funny pics of them-selves and do iChat
Because the current quality is so low...
And I think you'll find that people do more than that.
And even if thats all they do why not have a higher resolution? Seems plenty of people are doing these things.
if u increase the quality of the iSight for iChat, then it slows the video down
it also will be jerky because the file is large
If you have average machines and broadband yep it does. Whereas if you have more potent dual intel machines, mpeg4 and decent ADSL2+ etc, then you can get better quality video...iChat can already support 4 people communicating now, so 2 communicating with higher bandwidth should be easy *sigh*
and a wireless iSight will just make iChat even slower
Really? How fast is wireless...mmm...up to 54mbps...how fast is decent broadband...1-2mbps up stream...gee wireless is like 25x faster than it needs to be to keep the frame rate up for broadband. Even at range it should be faster.
And there are PLENTY of high end (Axis etc) wireless security cameras out there right now using G to pump back MPEG4 video wirelesly. I even have one.
Maybe you should do some research first before calling people stupid ;)

Does anyone know how the 7300GT compares to the X1600? I am leaning towards the 20" to replace my 17" rev. A iMacG5, but would upgrade to the 24" is the GPU is a big bump.
Apple has it benchmarked. It is a large jump.

Since when did you get to make the rules? How can we possibly have a useful discussion about race and crime if we can't talk about some of the basic underlying causes for the disparity in wealth and political power in America between white people and everybody else? Why should we forget the 3/5ths clause, Dred Scott, the Civil War, Jim Crow, the Civil Rights movement or the KKK and its children. Not to mention the slave trade that brought these people here in the first place. You might not like to talk about all those things, but you are flat out ignoring or dismissing their impact on current issues - and that is the fatal flaw in your reasoning.
So again with the boohoo sob stories of past discrimination that young blacks today have never felt? They are put at an advantage over whites today and have been for the last 40 years. And once again, you say nothing about other countries that have the same issue and no racial history like the US has, i've already asked you twice to acknowledge this and look at it in a more global way, and you keep mentioning slavery and jim crow laws which affected a tiny percentage of africans worldwide a long time ago. stop thinking only within the borders of the US. Not only do they commit a disproportionate amount of the crime in mostly white countries , they can't even seem to run their own countries in Africa without violence. WHY???? Quit it with the politically correct "the white man is bringing the black race down" BS and look at it realistically.
