You know, I hate to say this, but it has a striking resemblance to the "Vista" font. Granted, "vista" is more narrow. Scary, huh?
This could be more of the same shrewd move they did with the Leopard menu bar, I know it's nasty but Apple are trying to get more PC users to switch and offering them something they are familiar with would help the transition

I was talking about a new one not a refurbished one. I want to buy the core duo macbook after the c2d ones are released because i do not need the uprgrades and i could get a good deal. The core duo macbook pros dropped $300 so i was wondering how much the macbooks would drop.
I was talking about the new ones aswell :rolleyes: the refurb shop also sells stock they want to get rid of and that includes old macbooks.

Toys R Us? Seriously? What a bizzarre place to buy a tablet PC. I guess we'll be seeing them with the Fisher Price laptops.
I guess you're too young to remember Children's Palace or the Sears Christmas catalog :) Used to be that's where you'd go to browse, play with, and buy your Atari 400 or Vic-20.
Back to the present: hold on to your hat, this is going to blow you away, but Toys R Us already sells...the iPod Touch!!!!

I don't know why you would expect them to not also sell its big brother, the hottest toy / gadget to be found? It's for kids, you know?

I think this is about giving OSX some of that developer love. Having watched people port their games etc to iPad, moving them to iOS on iMac should be simple enough - just another view and maybe higher res graphics if necessary. It opens up possibilities for developers and more customers.
Regarding touch on an imac- I imagine the biggest benefit of touch is the multi-touch aspect. I can imagine map & data exploration apps / programs become insanely compelling on a 22 inch screen, ergonomically slanted to be more like a surface.
Comments are right though- it feels too gimmicky for Apple. Steve Jobs has said he likes to catch technologies at a certain trajectory on the curve... this touch-screen on a big machine feels too low down on the curve and hence too big a risk for apple unless they've come up with a way to add it as a sort of "free" addition. Try to imagine the business case for a machine that has a 22" Retina display that is also a touch-screen... sounds expensive to me.
I think a flavour of iOS as a dock replacement or integrated into Finder makes some sense, opening apps (at least initially) in appropriately sized windows is, I imagine, very doable, especially as iOS is effectively just a subset of OS-X (excluding of course the touch functionality).
What I don't get is the touch "peripheral" being shown elsewhere in the forums... unless you have 5 cursors on screen (confusing), by not touching the screen itself, you introduce abstraction that just eliminates the tactile and simple nature of current multi-touch.
Finally, I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't be excited about running multitasking multitouch apps from ipad etc on an imac 22" screen!
It would make their widget concept just so much more compelling if each widget was an iphone or ipad app, all running simultaneously on screen in one go.

You really think less than 50% of gun violence is committed by black men in those countries? You might want to go look at the demographics of those countries.
Why does gun violence effect the black communities? Prejudice, poverty and lack of access to societal goods others have among many other reasons.
.
London: Over half of gun crimes committed by black men, only 12% of the population
and you might want to read the title of the thread perhaps?
I guess Americans are more obsessed with race than Europeans....

Is that why AT&T sold a lot more iPhones that vz last quarter?
Also vz just wants you to go over your cap. More money for them
Check VZW site, VZW charges no overage charges, data is unlimited. no caps no overage charges just unlimited data. WHAT DON'T you understand.
And the VZW throttling post on BGR.com was just a BS warning, NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN THROTTLED! Go the androidforums and you will not find anyone that have ever been throttled!
Now with att try and use alot of data then att will claim you are tethering and automatically switch you to tiered data.
after 2GB , att charges 10 a GB. that can get expensive fast!

Engadget claims (http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/22/apple-to-do-ebooks/) that according to two separate "trustworthy" sources, Apple is working on incorporating electronic books into the next versions of the iPod.
They also claim that the upcoming iPod will have "a substantial amount of screen real estate" alongwith a book-reading mode for easy reading. This rumor is consistent with long-standing rumors of a full screen video iPod (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/03/20060302125931.shtml) that would launch alongside iTunes Movie sales.
Engadget believes that Apple would also launch electronic book sales via iTunes as well to provide content for this new iPod functionality. The reliability of Engadget's sources are unknown.
I'd rather read normal book. Screens will make your eyes cry.

I have to say I mainly agree with Jobs on this one.
Microsoft is encouraging "nerdiness" while Apple is telling you to live your life and interact with one another.
I guess his point is that the world has become a colder place, with serious lack of human contact promoted by the internet and the digital content that surrounds us. I'm all in favor to true human interaction, switching earbuds and etc, do we really need to send something to someone that is 5 feet away? Just get up and go there... And c'mon, whoever is saying that they're disgusted of putting on someone else's earbud is just being paranoid and picky, like the "shark attack" and "killer bee's" danger, it's just in your head, you ain't getting AIDS from an earbud...
IMO people need to get out more, talk to each other and stop doing everything wirelessly and digitally. :rolleyes:
JOBS RULLLLLZZZZ! (I lost it now...)

American foreign policy has indeed come up quite short in the foresight department. However, Khadahphee (or however it gets spelt) rose to power with no real assistance from other countries and has only been supported indirectly, through people buying oil. The only support Libya gets from the US is indirect, from irresponsible excess in oil consumption that keeps the prices up for everyone.
You'd be right except for our military ties to Libya.

Seems we've played a significant role in arming Libya in recent history, though not nearly as much as European nations.

I installed Core Duo Temp bofore I updated my Macbook firmware. I got a logic board and heastsink replancement (and a lot more apparently... the list is pretty long, looks like they changed everything except RAM and HDD). Core Duo temp reported 10*C core temperature (90 % CPU at 2 GHz). It used to be in the 60s before that... After the firmwareupgrade the report was correct again (60*C).
PS: I have a screw in the middle of the bottom. Dunno if it has always been there. It could inded have been addd to hold the new (different) logic board and the heatsink in place so both won't touch ach other. But it doesn't look like it was added afterwards... is there anyon who didn't get his macbook repaired yet have this screw too? It's exactly in the centre of the shell on the bottom of the case. Just beeing curious. :-)

Yeah he can really make analogies which really sticks - as well as leading us the faithful few towards the holy land of home electronics - integration with your integrity intact (one of the things with the design of the macintosh was that steve wanted the computer to look more like a human - some of the more esoteric ideas such as computer ears on the sides might have been scrapped, but I believe the user/computer interface is more like communication between two humans rather than a human and an inanimate computer)
