First negative comment... my ship date on previously ordered iPad 2 has not improved. I'm better off ordering another one and returning the second one when it comes in! Arrgh!

I work for BestBuy/GeekSquad, so let me confirm that that yes, we'll be selling iPhones at launch, and there will indeed be an employee purchase hold to allow clients to purchase the entire stock for a certain period of time.
You will be able to use rewardzone certificates, store credit, gift cards, anything that would normally apply to other in-store categories.
Also the warranty that BBY mobile sells on the iPhone is pretty decent, it includes ADH (accidental damage from handling) so if you drop the phone, spill water on it or get it wet, crack the screen, all that stuff is covered under warranty.
** How much is that warranty?

But the damn site is all voluntary, no real authority. People could change something on less looked at articles and nobody'd no the difference! My sister's professors do not allow their students to you Wikipedia! Just because something's longer doesn't mean it's bettter! If you've ever used Encyclopaedia Brittanica or the World Book, the authors are pros on the subject, not just some bum that's obcessed with Google!
Can I point out, because it seems to be constantly missed, that the guy did not say "An independent study said that Wikipedia articles are longer and therefore more accurate." He said that an independent study said Wikipedia articles are generally as accurate as the EB.
And, seperately, Wikipedia articles tend to be longer (that is, more in depth and informative) than EB articles.
I can recall this coming up and the Encyclopedia Britannica actually being actively dishonest and misleading in their attempts to debunk the study.
Wikipedia's accuracy is not a question of article length and NOBODY is suggesting it is. Wikipedia is generally an extremely accurate body of work. Given this, and given the fact it covers a more diverse range of subjects, in more depth, than the EB, it is a more useful work.
Oh, and to answer the criticism that you think this doesn't make sense: Wikipedia is:
- Continually peer reviewed.
- Comprised of contributions usually written by experts in their field
- Constantly monitored by people looking for incorrect modifications to pages they've added.
Additionally, if you're just looking for a starting place, Wikipedians are usually very good at citing sources.
By comparison, the EB has some degree of editorial control, but can't very well get experts together for every little subject that comes up. It's not surprising the EB contains mistakes.
You can't rely on either as a definitive source, but objectively Wikipedia is a more useful starting point than the EB, and it's certainly fair to point someone its direction if you believe the article to be largely accurate and if it contains links that'll allow a reader to research further.

How can they sell a "cheap" iMac and a very expensive MP if they want large margins on their products? Shouldn't the iMac be at least 500$ more if that were the case?
They sell a lot more iMacs than Mac Pros, volume makes a difference. I'd think the margin on the Mac Pro $2,499 base models is the highest percentage of any Mac right now, but I'm not sure why you think the iMac ones are low.
Also, has anyone looked to the latest financials to see how many MPs have actually been sold? And how much money they gained by keeping that MP tax?
Apple just list desktop sales numbers and earnings for them. The average price per unit sold is under $1,500 so we know Mac Pros make up a very small part of that.

Oh the cringe when he busted the thing in half... that makes three devices that wont make it back to the App Store... the blended one, the baseball smashed one... and the iFixit disection... let alone the other savages in the market dealing frakk to iPads...
:rolleyes:
There's a note... since 2000 there have been about 2-2.5 million PC+other tablets sold in the market.. in 10 years... Apple pushed out 15% of that figure in one weekend...
:D

I'll only go for it if it meets these criteria:
1. Able to burn to DVD (songs have this option for CD, why no movies?)
2. A Netflix-esque rental style along with full-on purchases
3. At least DVD quality.
If none of these are met (except for the first, I could live without but its nice to have the option) I'm sticking with the options which already exist and keeping my Netflix subscription.

Still no support for multiple playlists? How hard can it be to add an extra "mode" so that when you click on Fast Forward you go to the next playlist?
The design looks cool though, glad they resisted adding a screen. However, as someone else said, it's not going to be as practical as before using it as a USB drive.
Guess I'll stick to my old Shuffle then...

I cannot add much to that already said, but:
� 30TB RAID (Redundancy important for backup purposes)
No - redundancy provides availability, not backup. If it is important data, budget for a 30TB backup solution.

Any more words of wisdom for the masses Copernicus?
1. As adults, you're free to make your own decisions, stupid (like stealing) or brilliant, high risk or low risk, but you have to live with the consequences. Seems fair enough to me.
2. There are probably a million towns all over the world where there is a major employer and little else, including here in the USA, and people lack the means to relocate or the skills to get a different job. If you have a magic plan to make good-paying jobs available everywhere, please share, since it will be the very first time in the history of the planet.

My main curiosity is whats going to happen with the rest of the bundle and how much each app will cost. I know this is just a sneak peek except I would like to know how much everything will cost not just FCX.
I love the idea of buying only what you actually use though as long as it doesn't cost more then the current FCP.

I never thought of myself as an iMac type of guy. More of a MBP for work, Mac Pro for home.
But the 24" iMac is shaping up to be a great computer. 750 gig drive is sweet, 3 gigs of memory, huge display, and fast.
I always hated the wires and general visual mess of the normal desktop. Even in the age of bluetooth, there are too many wires.
I think the 24" iMac is shaping up to be a great prosumer computer. I'm seriously considering purchasing one now.

Phil Schiller is such a bad presenter.
And yes, you are seeing a transfer of power here - whether Steve is sick only he knows I guess.
I was thinking the same thing. I guess Schiller will replace Jobs.

This is nothing new to Apple. They wouldn't have pulled it just cause some bozos posted about it on this board or other boards. It's been known for YEARS that you could do this.

I am actually a relatively new entrant to the editing/movie making gig. I started making corporate videos using iMovie, which I had been using since V1.
The irony here is that I switched (dragged kicking and screaming) to FCP a few years ago because, amongst other things, I couldn't get my head around the "new" iMovie.
Now I am considering downloading iMovie '11 just to familiarise myself with the next FCP :rolleyes:

Yeah. I gave up waiting for the white iPhone last August, but I'd love to swap. Best bet would be if I could convince someone who plans on getting a 4 to buy a white one and trading. Don't think I'd be able to sell mine for enough to pay for a white one. :(
I was thinking of selling my iPhone 4 and using the money to buy a white iPhone 4, put it in an otterbox and keep it in perfect shape then sell it when iPhone 5 is released. I've owned a lot of iPhones since day one and for some reason the white iPhones have a higher resale value than the black ones.

There is only one "viewer" now, which swaps between showing the timeline or editing clips. In the left side panel, you can choose clips, and they appear in the single viewer. Then when you drag them into the timeline, the viewer switches to timeline playback.
I think that this makes a lot of sense, as you would not use the viewer and the timeline playback at the same time anyway, so why not let it switch automatically between then two, saving space.
I get that, but I need to compare frames side-by-side at times to ensure they're going to flow together. I love space-saving UI but I'm not sure that this one is going to pan out for me. I see a keystroke to quickly switch between the two in my future...

While a neat technology, it's a bit of a stretch to really call this "glasses-free 3D". Unlike the 3DS, where actual illustion of depth is present, this is just changing the perspective on a rendered 3D object on the screen based on head position. The image that the left and right eye sees are the same, thus no actual "3D" effect.
Plus this has been done on the DSi before.
Still neat.

If this is indeed the new iCal i will be happy, just open up the old ical next to that picture then you will see what i mean.
Funny, I had the opposite reaction.
Sure, it's cleaner. But for me, it just showed that once again, iCal is an anemic upgrade and missing the basic features that every calendaring program has had since 1992.

I'm certain that there will be an iPhone in June, why wouldn't there be...
Isn't iOS 5 going to be optimised for the new iPhone so that it can take advantage of the new hardware?
