I prefer to say Yellow when I know it's someone selling something.

The rules seem to only be preventing apps from running in the background, calling other apps, and doing things naughty things (like running torrents and making VoIP calls over the cell carrier's data network).

Because it's not coming out June 9th. Last year AT&T did the same thing for the dates June 15th to July 15th, with the releaae date of June 29th. This year it's looking like the release date will be Friday June 27th @ 5pm.

Apple will do very well, but other companies have a loyal fan base and they won't rip into their smartphone marketshare too badly. I think we'll find that many iPhone buyers are new to the smartphone market. Nokia will reign supreme in the EU for at a couple years.

With iTS being the dominate force NBC had no control over pricing. They may be getting less with the Zune Marketplace but if it upsets the iTS dominance that ushers in the content providers controlling the market then it was worth it.

The thing is we know that it won't work and this shows that Hulu probably isn't working out NBC like they hoped. The fact is, all they've done is lost a source of income and pissed off a lot of customers.

It's a different world and they failed to change (again) and now have lost even more control by trying to force the entertainment world into an antiquated business model.

HAHA

@StarChaser Tyger: But you aren't forced. It's a check box like all the other installs that "recommend" apps but pre-check the box. Once installed it won't auto-launch and run in the background so it's not malware.

I just think to much is being made out of this. I don't like that Apple pre-checked the box, but I don't like when all the other installed do it either. I just think we need to look at it objectively.

If there is anything to complain about it's QT auto-starting after updates, even though you've set all the preferences.

Mozilla is upset because any Safari share taked revenue from them.

The most important thing is that these weren't set to be released for over a month. And still, Intel usually can't supply Apple with enough chips for immediate sales. It looks like Apple's marketing engine has paid off nicely for Intel in the past with Apple-only chips for a set period.

• X9100 (3.06 GHz, 6MB L2 1066MHz FSB, 44W TDP) - $851 [May 2008 Release Date]
• 9600 (2.8 GHz, 6MB, 1066 FSB, 35W TDP) - $530 [May 2008 Release Date]
• UNKNOWN (2.6 GHz, 6MB, 1066 FSB 25W TDP) - $?????
• SP9400 (2.4 GHz, 6MB, 1066 FSB, 25W TDP) - $316 [May 2008 Release Date]

What Montevina offers over the Santa Rosa platform:

• WiMAX (which won't be enabled on the iMac)
• Hardware H.2.64 decoding
• Lower power usage (not a big selling point in a desktop)
• Smaller chipser and subsequent MoBo
• Blu-ray HDCP support on chip
• Can use Integrated GPU for Blu-ray playback
• Robson 2.0 (2nd version of Turbo memory)
• DDR3 RAM
• Intel GMA X4500 (3 versions)

If you want, you can DL OSx86 from any newsgroup or torrent site.

Psystar probably just removed the System Updater app. My Hackintosh works with Software Update, though I do have to be selective as to what I update with it.

Though, the speed increase does bleed out any 25% less L2 for most processes. Regardless, if you are buying the low end mac you aren't going to notice and probably not care about the different. Especially the inclusion of SSE4 which will be start being included to apps later this year.

But like Hippo said, you can save some money by buying the current Mac as the previous generation after the update comes out. Though you may have to wait a couple weeks for Apple to update their refurbished site.

There will be a bump in speed and HDD capacity, as the blog states, and perhaps some other tweaks, like an 8-bit monitor on the 20" displays.

@kibets: WTH are you talking about. iMacs offer a completely wireless solution, save for the power cable to the iMac.

Even if you go with the cheaper, default wired solution it's not 2 wires going to the iMac, only one. The mouse has a short USB wire that daisy chains into the USB keyboard. Why others haven't incorporated this as a standard is beyond me.

1) All they will do is cnacel your 2 year contract and start a new one with your new iPhone, just like they do with any of their phones. This goes for other carriers, too.

2) 16GB just came out recently and the iPod Touch will continue to have double the capacity.

3) A HDD would drain the battery and add unnecessary latency.

Mac enthusiasts prefer the more stable Mac ecosystem. Window enthusiasts prefer the well adopted OS. Linux user prefer the open source potential.

There is no one right or better system, but it sounds like you have your ass in System 7 days with limited applications and slim customization options. being Unix based there is nothing you can't do to the OS to make it your own and there plenty of quality free apps for this specific purpose. Many are great Unix apps witha simple OS X GUI on top to make the task a simple process.

If they didn't offer that option when SSD was more expensive and aren't giving you a replaceable battery I wouldn't count on getting an SD slot.

@mxmarks: Of course. They let you do that any current subscribers when the original iPhone was released. What will happen is that you'll use the new SIM card which will get you a new 24 month contract.

Jailbroken/Unlocked iPhones will finally be on AT&Ts network as people buy the new iPhone and don't want to renew their subscription contract.

Don't forget that the plastic case will also be thicker to accommodate the same durability of the aluminium back.

@flame500: That is form over function. I like the looks too, but the plastic back will help with the antenna, especially with the additional "fickleness" that occurs with higher bandwidth radio.

@big_marky_t: 32GB? Really? What cell phone do you have know that pales the iPhone 8GB capacity? 32GB in the space currently occupying the 8Gb and 16GB chips would be an increase well past what you are willing to pay. The prices have come down but not that much.
