Working flawlessly and feels like a new machine.
I highly recommend it.
Should carry me at least another year.
I ordered 8gb RAM and installed an SSD... I'm more than satisfied at my computer now... well besides "meh" battery life and flickering 9400m of course.... :-/

Cingular is not the only GSM carrier in the USA.
T-Mobile is pretty big too. They have just purchased a ton of bandwidth for new high-speed services.
Remember the T-Mobile CEO saying "we have a similar vision as Apple" ?
That's why Cingular went with Microsoft, they know they didn't win over Apple. So, this is most likely going to be a T-Mobile partnership (whose corporate parent has a HUGE presence in Europe).
TMobile is actually pretty small when compared with the top 3:
Cingular
Verizon
Sprint/Nextel
The top 3 comprise 78% of cell phones in the country.
I doubt the comments from the TMobile CEO had much to do with the decision.
Cingular is currently is the only major carrier that does not have an MVNO based on it's lines. (As far as I know)
Verizon has Alltel & Virgin Mobile
Sprint has Virgin Mobile, some TraCphone & other prepaid offerings
AT&T wireless used to have SunCom as an MVNO, but when they merged with Cingular they went independent - putting up their own towers and leasing some towers from Cingular.
It's my opinion that Apple will be a Cingular based MVNO and that the phone will work on TMobile and SunCom - but just won't be supported - just like Cingular phones are now. IE - I can buy a TMobile Sidekick on eBay and use it on Cingular, I just don't have the same plan or all features available to me.
The only alliance that I see Apple may have with T-Mobile is that Danger - which makes the semi-exclusive T-Mobile SideKick has Steve Wozniak as an investor.
Now, you can look at that coincidence from two angles:
1) It's just something Woz saw promise in
2) He's been there (at Danger) as a technology partner/development partner for Danger all along to be able to assist Apple first hand with their own Phone efforts. A plant, if you will.
Personally, I see the iPhone as being something very very similar to a Sidekick ... but better.

Now that I think about it, the post about the HD content taking up so much room is right on. I don't thing 120GB will be enough for all my HD episodes of jericho and enterprise. Much less all my other stuff thats on there.

As I'm at work and don't have my MacBook Pro with me, here's my PC desktop. - OK PC's desktop. I have a laptop on the right, monitor in the middle and a PC with separate monitor on the right. I use Synergy to control the two with one mouse and keyboard. I then set the desktop wallpaper to make it appear like I have three monitors on one computer.

Guess the team that works on Office 2010 for the PC never got that memo since that works like a dream with Exchange 2003.Yes an no. Have a look at this link and see the Outlook features that are supported across different Exchange versions.

It's good that you apologized before giving us all this misinformation!
Apple in fact offers some of the CHEAPEST rackmount servers. That's why they were used for the Virginia Tech cluster remember!!
Go to Dell's page, I just customized one of their PowerEdge 2950's to be EXACTLY the same as the Xserve (except for the OS) and here's the diff:
Dell PowerEdge 2950
$6,749.00
Dual Core Intel� Xeon�, 4MB Cache, 3.00GHz, 1333MHz FSB
Operating System Windows Server� 2003 R2, Standard x64 Edition,Includes 5 CALs
Additional Processor
Dual Core Intel� Xeon� 5160, 4MB Cache, 3.00GHz, 1333MHZ FSB
Memory
1GB 533MHz (4x256MB), Single Ranked DIMMs
Riser Card Riser with 3 PCIe Slots
Primary Hard Drive
80GB, SATA, 3.5-inch, 7.2K RPM Hard Drive
Primary Controller
PERC 5/i, x4 Backplane, Integrated Controller Card
Apple Xserve
$2,999.00
Two 64-bit 2.0GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors
1.33GHz frontside bus and 4MB shared L2 cache per processor
1GB memory (667MHz DDR2 ECC fully buffered DIMM)
80GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA hard drive1
Built-in ATI Radeon X1300 graphics with 64MB RAM
Mac OS X Server 10.4 Unlimited-Client Edition
So go back to your mummy and cry! The Xserve is actually a better machine because I could not get 667Mhz DDR2 for the Dell! The Dell also has no graphics card!
So when you say 'Dells'... be very specific!!!
Rackmount Dells with Woodcrest Xeons (just like the Xserve) are a LOT more expensive than just some Dell server that is apparently 1/5 of the price of the Xserve.
you tell em! ;)

Can i just mention something??
I'm a musician and am very well acquainted with notation software such as sibelius 4 and Finale. What on earth would be the point in having a piano keyboard interface?? The range can't really be more than an octave, which is rather useless when writing... And even then, just to use it as an imput method would be so much slower then just typing the names of notes. Now one can press the letter 'a' and an A (the note) will be displayed. When using such software, it's not the note imput that takes the time, it's the changing of note values, and adding instructions and markings to the score. for this, the piano keyboard would be useless. What, so every time you want to write a new italian tempo marking, you have to switch to a keyboard?? sucks.
Oh, and some people may say that it could midi record and notate what you play... but this rarely works well and even then you're stuck with the range of probs just over an octave.
Thoughts welcome.
I play guitar mainly, and although I can tap out melodies easily enough on a keyboard I am not proficient enough [yet] to play it a standard anywhere near my guitar playing. I also don't read/write notation (and have no particular desire to - call me a philistine if you wish!). So for people like me who want to be able to input/record notes live, it would sure beat mapping the notes to the qwerty-board. Presumably this idea could use something to make it velocity sensitive too. I think someone else mentioned using it to trigger stuff off in a live setting too. Plus this is ONE idea for something that could have many uses - if you don't see the point, fine, don't use it, you could use it for something else, like assigning pre-set value changes etc to already-input notes for example :)

Well, it's been 21 days since the MacWorld keynote; January only has one day left.
And we have seen zero announcements related to the Mac. We have seen iPhone, :apple:tv, AirPort Extreme, and now iPod shuffle and 802.11n enabler announcements, but no actual Mac, announcements, other than a couple new TV commercials, and the official revelation that 64-bit Intel Macs have come with 802.11n hardware.
We have seen no actual new hardware, no new software, not even price changes.
Dammit, Apple, either change the name of the conference to "AppleWorld", or release some freakin' Mac stuff! I've been putting off my HD camcorder purchase to see if iLife '07 will support AVCHD. I would really like to have my camcorder bought before I leave for vacation in the middle of February. At least ANNOUNCE iLife '07, with specs, even if it isn't released. I'd really like an AVCHD camcorder over an HDV, but not if iLife can't edit its video.

I'm still rather new to to Macs, but is there precedent for releasing software like iLife later on in the MacWorld show? it's a few days isn't it? is it possible that it might be released later in the week?
Steve generally announces iLife updates during his keynote every year, but it didn't happen this year. :( I'm hoping it will be released (or at least announced) sometime this week, just like what you're hoping for. I love iLife and I would really like to see what features/improvements they add to iPhoto and iMovie. I can't imagine Apple waiting too long to do something...

I certainly hope that Virtual Desktops make their way into this version of OS X. This is one of the biggest features I'm surprised that never made it in, considering that pretty much every other distribution of UNIX/Linux I've ever seen has a virtual desktop manager.
I don't know where the 'new monitor' rumor is coming from since I'm not seeing anything mentioned in the original post, but I wouldn't be surprised to see new monitors with a built in iSight, so pretty much all Macs can have a camera along with them. Will it also have a built-in microphone?

I love it when Google/Samsung/Sony/Motorola employees create new MacRumors accounts (join date Mar 2011) just to try to propagate garbage like this. Obviously trying to start a new antennagate. If you can't beat them in sales, try to start some bogus stories in the blogs and hope the media picks up on it. :rolleyes:
THIS JUST IN: My iPad 2 is absolute fine and its in my hands right now. Anybody else who really has one complaining?
Sorry but that's not the case, created an account just recently to provide my input on this issue on another thread. I am 3 iPads down with problems and still hoping the 4th will arrive with no leakage or dead pixels. I'm glad yours is "absolute fine" but if you do a search or just ask around you will find this is a widespread problem

I couldn't care less about video, and wireless syncing is likely to be too slow to be useful. However, it recently occurred to me that there's a killer application for wireless in the iPod, and I hope Apple doesn't miss the boat here. They've been going on and on about how so many car manufactures offer iPod integration kits now, but every one of those requires you to pull the iPod out of your pocket/bag/whatever and plug it into the car. It's still kind of a pain.
Imagine having audio wirelessly sent to your car's stereo. The iPod is in your pocket, you're listening on headphones as you walk up to your car. You get in, turn it on, and without missing a beat, the music is playing on your car speakers. You never had to touch the iPod - it's still in your pocket.
It seems to me that this is exactly the kind of seamless integration that Apple strives for. And if there were a stereo kit available that worked with this, I'd get it in a heartbeat. Of course, they could also do it for home stereos a la Airport Express. You arrive home, walk in the door, and your music is playing right where it left off on your home stereo. Maybe the iPod would even pause it while no headphones or wireless receivers are connected - so you don't miss that cool solo while walking from the driveway to the front door.
Am I alone in thinking this would be the coolest and most useful application of wireless?

You have no idea what happened.Sure, it's all speculation, apart from the fact that he drove off with her clinging to the hood, and continued for 35 miles, reaching very high speeds. This is more than enough by itself to qualify as attempted murder.

Does it fix the mute button? maybe its just mine but it vibrates when I switch it both ways and some doesn't vibrate when switched to silent.
I had this issue and it turned out that the cable which connects the mute switch to the motherboard was loose. Take it to an apple store.
In other news, I was having much reduced battery life starting around 4.3. This update seems to have remedied that. Full day's test coming tomorrow!

Yes, its hot. We all are. But have some common sense, jeeeze.
Who knows if "the male" in Western cultures actually wants to wear a suit and tie?
This Western male says:
Suit 'n tie? "No thanks."

EyeTV has a free service called My EyeTV which resolves the IP. You just need to register with your email address and a password, then within the EyeTV app on the iPhone you enter same and you can connect from anywhere. However, for all this to work you need the EyeTV application running on your Mac.
Similarly, there was a question about accessing your video from a network outside of your home (or whatever), yes, that works as long as you have registered via the My EyeTV service.
Very nice. It looks like anyone on a dynamic IP can use the EyeTV app if they have a compatible router.

It will probably work the way Amazon's new service does. Only the music you purchase moving forward can be synced in the cloud.
Umm that's not how Amazon's service works.
Amazon lets you sync up your own stuff (with certain gigabyte limits) and you get unlimited sync of anything purchased from their store.
