Check out the inventory tracker in MR iPad forum for Best Buy, Target, etc.
I placed my order online at the Apple Store and have been waiting patiently for a April 20 delivery. Yesterday I checked the inventory tracker and it turned out my local Best Buy had stock on the 16GB WiFi black, just as I ordered it from Apple. Literally 15 minutes later I was up and running with my new gear & cancelled my Apple store order. No waiting in line or wasting any more time with the whole process. Why wait if you can grab it locally?

Every other teacher in the school is fine with it, it's just that one guy. By taking it off me, I couldn't get my coursework finished. Pretty annoying. I see everyones point that it's his network, but it's a pretty big assumption to assume that a student is 'hacking the network' because he's on a laptop.
Ever been to any of the Ivy leagues - they offer network (encrypted) so people can do exactly that: work. And a open guest network outside off the firewall... Maybe they need to update their approach

I was an Apple Campus Rep at Princeton from 2004-2006 (now graduated). Apple has an amazing presence on campus, and I'm glad I could be a part of it :)

people value what they value. do you think they are getting what they paid for in terms of education? probably not.
I have a hard time believing that even working a part-time job would pay for $70-$90/month data plan. Remember they have to pay rent, food, utilities. Or they are living with parents.

Maybe the $899 iMac is a holdover for people who need to buy now. August 7 could have something that is much nicer than that...next gen eMac?:confused:
that'd be nice!

If Leopard is released before Vist I won;\'t go near it with a 20 meter cattle prod and even if they gave it away for free. Leopard released that soon would scream revenge of the Tiger launch. Honestly a january lauch of eather Vista or Leopard doesn't serve anyone. For windows they missed the lucrative holiday sales rush and only the after x-mas bargan shoppers are looking to buy in ist quarter. For Apple school sales won't begin for months.
All that a January Leopard launch would prove would be the immaturity of the people running Apple. e.g. Its better to ship an OS that probably has a ton of bugs in it to be able to thumb our collective noses at MS then ship a solid product. IMHO I'm REALLY hoping for a WWDC launch of Leopard.

I am just curious as to how the roadmap for future iteration of iPhone will go.
If iPhone 5 is late-September early-October, does it mean iPhone 6 will be the same time in 2012, or skip to Summer 2013?

He will get a long sentence. He has priors. She was stupid to jump on the hood, but obviously she had no expectation that he would try to kill her! A sane, non-murderous person would stop immediately. Also, he drove a long way and so had a long time to think about what he was doing. He can't claim some momentary rage.Which is how a court will see it, and that's what matters in the end.

Replacable video card? Sweet but where in the world i can get it? It may be too Apple specific. And i am not sure that i will pay 1.5-2x than its equivalent on PCI Express slot...
It's no more replaceable than it's been for the last few years. All aluminium iMacs have kept the GPU separate from the logic board, on a separate card that slots in to the MLB. The design makes it easier for technicians to replace only the faulty component - it's certainly not for users to swap it out with other, possibly upgraded GPU's they find.

Why doesn't Apple just hold something, like, I dunno...a press conference to clear this whole mess up? Because that would be great.

I don't know about you guys, but on my iPhone 4 battery life has been great since 4.3.2 - best of any 4.x updates. Let's hope 4.3.3 doesn't break it, or I'll be really pissed.

I have an ice cream scoop that's made out of this type of magnesium material it's a beautiful material. I actually talked about using this metal about a year or so ago. I also think that liquid metal titanium would be a beautiful material for the new MacBook Pros or Mac Pros

For someone that created a fluff thread, you're taking yourself too seriously. What did you expect, people to not defend their purchase?
My opinion stands: For the equal-but-opposite reason that I would never buy the 13", there's that group of people that would never buy the 11". The latter group is too practical. The former, too cool. It's personal, as is productivity. Apple did the MBA offerings right this time. But this guy said it best:
You original said that some people would never buy the 11" even if it had more resolution. I pointed out that some apps are limited by the current resolution. You seem to think it proves your point, but it does the opposite. I'm saying for some apps you need more resolution and some apps you need more storage. Nothing about that says that if the 11" offered either it would not be a choice instead of the 13". I see no logic in your statements, simply an attitude.

With Vista going to computer manufacturers now, I highly doubt that it will be pushed all the way into the summer. Although it is Microsoft, and this IS Vista, but I still don't think it would happen. MS would release it anyway and a crapload of updates following if necessary.
Chundles lives in Australia (southern hemisphere). So their autumn is our spring and their summer is our winter. So, he is predicting Vista on January 30th like Microsoft's announcement. Leopard should be out by Spring time. Even if Apple hurries, I think it will be March by the time it is out.

It does not work here. EyeTV 3.2 running on my MBP, iPhone access enabled in settings, WiFi okay, but I am only getting this message ("cannot find EyeTV in network") like in the screenshot. Rebooted iPhone twice: NADA.

And I'm in the UK, so i'm not sure about legal information.
Then you dont have to give it up. Period. I'm in the UK as well, and Ive been hauled up about my habit of having a laptop with me right the way thru secondary school + sixth form(2003-2010 if anyone wants a timeframe). I just told them its worth too much to give up, and if they want they can send me home. Otherwise Im not going to let them take it, and if they think its a threat, the only place its going is with me, home. They can't force you to give it up under UK law. :D (As in just hold onto it, they cant pull it from you, they cant lay their hands on you, unless they fancy a nice little media storm, since it cant be construed as a dangerous weapon)
Also, if they continue to moan about his "network" then firstly point out you werent doing it, as the Airport card was deactivated, and then next time take a really old (Like PowerBook 1400 era - ie 1996) Laptop and let them haul you up about that under "hacking" - then point out it cant as it doesnt actually have any networking ports at all :D (After I pulled that one I was left alone by IT for the last 3 years of secondary school)
Oh and also ask why they didnt take everybody's phones on entry to the school, since just about any smartphone can do as much damage as any laptop to their network (Most phones, especially Android ones certainly could be loaded with hacking tools... )

I wonder if the only reason the % has gone up is because of a higher number of people shopping at places like Dell.com. Apple has yet to offer a real reason to shop online rather than shop at a store, so while PC buyers flock to online purchases Apple buyers stick with regular stores since theres no point to shop at apple.com unless theyre out of stock.
Although those kids probably arent very conerned about finding the best price online.

iPhones don't cost any more than other smart phones, so I don't see why you find this surprising. If you need a phone, might as well get the best.
I don't know where you get your prices from, but when you look on Amazon.de or even eBay, you'll quickly find that the iPhone 4 is twice as expensive as the comparable Samsung Galaxy SI9000 or Samsung Nexus S and it is still more than 200 Euros more expensive than the LG Optimus Speed - which already has superior technical specifications, e.g. a dual core CPU.
So, no. The iPhone does cost more than other smart phones and no, it certainly is NOT the best anymore. Maybe it's the one that you like best, but that only has something to do with personal preferences. From a pure technological aspect, the competition is giving Apple a run for their money - and there are already more Android-based phones being sold than iPhones. So obviously, the competition is also doing something right and the customers are discovering that other mothers also have beautiful daughters.
