I just went to Scotsys and John Lewis in Edinburgh to eye up the new nanos, and neither of them had them. <disappointed> :(
Most branches of John Lewis are scheduled to have them by the weekend. They actually state Saturday, but knowing our supply chain, more likely Monday.
Never say never.
With the lack of CD with any of the iPods, does anyone know if you have to download iTunes now prior to connecting your iPod or, as one person I know suggested, you connect up the iPod and it installs from there and prompts you to do a restore after?
Just want to know for those who will be looking to buy this weekend, but do not have access to the internet yet and/or have slow dial-up.

Last I checked this kind of anti-competitive action was illegal under monopoly laws...
I second that!!! Not only is that against the law, its very similar to what Microsoft did many years ago and got in big trouble for it.

A Boycott should be more than just Macrumors members. All apple users should boycott Walmart.

Was "schooled" yet again... When the iPad 2 was close to being announced; I mentioned to a group of friends that I might sell my better half my iPad - I was "taught" that as this point there is NO SELLING of old "tech".
that is a load. First off the original ipad is hardly 'old tech'. It is still very usable by the right folks. Say little kids that want to play games, granny that just wants it for email, the whole "teach for america" thing.
'Old tech' would be trying to sell a G4 with a PPC processor in the now every entrenched Intel age. There's pretty much no 3rd software supporting it, Mac OS 10.5 is the highest you can take that, etc

mac mini is up there too.
Edit: is that a new black ipod (possibly video, maybe nano) right next to it?
Edit 2: the banner is not finished yet too, the macbook pro is only half done. maybe a more guarded part of wwdc. it looks like they can fit a bunch more stuff over at the edge. Edit 4: it looks like that edge is just a walkway. but who knows, maybe they could put stuff on it at the edge, above the walkway.
Edit 3: one of the ipods is on its side, maybe to hide the upcoming design.

The Mac Pro does come standard with 1GB of RAM. You can't configure a model with any less than 1GB of RAM.
Oops, my bad.

From the blog:
"We're not picking specifically on Macs here, but if you watch those 'Get a Mac' commercials enough, it eventually makes you want to stab one of those users in the eye with a lit cigarette or something," Maynor said.
With this kind of angst, why wouldn't they use the internal Airport card?

There seem to be varying reports of the serial numbers affected, and Apple's site seems dead right now. I'm hoping my battery IS affected, because I was getting close to ordering a new battery, as my year-and three month old battery is down to 25% of it's original capacity after 440 load cycles.
The site was up briefly and claimed 4-6 weeks for the new battery to ship. That's a LONG time to go without a battery.
don't worry 'bout that. they will send you a new one and then you return the battery - at least they did it this way with my battery..

How will the internet start "locking down"?
This was an asinine comment by the OP that you replied to.
Joe Hewitt said that the App Store is setting a precedent that the Store for a particular handheld device needs to have a review process. Other companies are following suit. IF this process becomes more and more common then the platforms suffer due to the lack of innovative fun new pieces of software.
The Internet isn't locked down because anyone can purchase a server or rent one toss it on the internet and run custom software. You can distribute your information, you can sell your products, you can link friends together without another company telling you yes or no (like the App Store). It's open.
That's what Joe Hewitt likes about the internet. The openness. The close mindedness of the App Store is what turned him off to the development process.
And losing him is huge. He's one of the biggest developers for the platform. More people use Facebook I think than just about any third party application.

Here's my roommate's macbook. Hasn't been serviced yet, you can tell by the screws.
just kidding
so if u have 3 screws, that means it was serviced
my 2 macbook for business came out of the box with 3 screws so would that indicate that they serviced that macbooks before they were shipped to me

Again, the military is inextricable from the economy.
President Eisenhower thought it was better to expend energy and our precious resources on products that help and improve the human race, not to kill each other.
But I understand what you are saying though. Shifts will have to be made, pain will be suffered, just like the entire U.S. and most of the Western World is suffering the pains of globalization allowing the Middle Class to approach extinction, while the Rich get richer. In the U.S. you can thank the evil end-justifies-the-means, lying, cheating, Republican Party. And their "end" sucks a lot! Boehner and McConnel should be banned from holding public office.

I think its Apple's fault. Motorola too. Apple always says how an 800MHz Powerbook is better at x and x than a PC, but the PC is still faster at like everything.
Its motorolas problem for not makin faster chips! But its Apples fault for not moving to IBM by now, and Apple is just accepting that they are barely over 1GHz when PCs are moving up on 3GHz

If I recall, the way the Beatles recorded, it was almost overkill. It should be intersting to see if they remaster it to optimize it for compressed digital. Otherwise, I really love listening to every sound that the recordings have picked up as I listen to the fab four on a 30 LP.

I certainly hope that the resolution on the Apple Movie Store will be AT LEAST 480x720 (aka 480P). Otherwise, between Netflix and super cheap DVDs these days, I don't see how Apple can compete with lower than DVD resolution.
If they are really smart (and the studios play ball, which is doubtful) they would go straight to 1080P.
I agree with you on the DVD quality. But could imagine how long it would take to downlaod a 1080p film? Days! The hard drive space would be another thing, it would be about 10 or 11 gigs for one film! At least. This is not going to be possible for at least 3 or 4 years I would say.

The only thing Wal-Mart CAN do is lower
their prices to undercut online distributors
even more. And maybe realize that DVDs
are nicer than downloaded movies.
A lot of the people who shop at wal-mart
don't have high speed internet anyway.
I don't. I'll keep buying my movies from
Blockbuster, BestBuy, and Wal-Mart until
I am able to get them online.

Sounds like a good system. A person can buy a dummy pc if they want, a linux box, or a Mac.
What if they don't have any choice but to buy your product? All of the Windows OEMs are instant customers for Vista, whether they like it or not. This is how the system works for Microsoft.

Why isn�t anyone talking about how ugly this interface looks? White on Dark backgrounds = not fun on the eyes. Please tell me this isn�t how it will look. The background rendering and all that stuff is great, but I HOPE this interface is customizable and has the ability to look a little like the final cut of yesteryear.

There's zero incentive for Apple to do that. They're in the business of making $$. If they made a phone, and supported it for 5 - 7 years, no one would buy new ones, therefore no revenue. It's all about making cash...
Plus, a phone going on 3 plus years is pretty good. You got you money's worth. Sell it on E Bay-or Craigslist, and make some cash. Or like you said, an iPod.
Yeah, but given they still sell the 3GS as a new phone, they should make a 3G version that is lighter on the processor so it's snappier or just provide the 3.X version.
