So very true. I am one of those waiting for C2D (snipped)
Another hand raising here as a current Windows user who is holding out for a C2D. I'm dying to lay my hands on a 17" MBP, but will not buy before they go to at least that upgrade.
If it takes much longer I might as well wait until after the first of the year, or change plans and stick myself with another PC. I really, really don't want to do that, but I need a new semi-portable system.

I think, at least right now, carbon fibre would be prohibitively expensive.
Why? Have you ever bought any? The fabric is about $30 per yard. YOu have to cut it and stack it and the epoxy is about $100 per gallon. You can build simple carbon/epoxy parts using simple hand tools but the process is very, very labor intensive. It takes most of an afternoon to make one part. The advances are in automation. Once you can automat and get the labor costs down the material is not expensive because you use so little of it.

even thou it can be spec'ed that way, it has an empty 2nd socket.
And your point is? :confused:
Back in 2009 The Register (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/04/11/microsoft_flames_macs/page2.html)specced up an SP 5500 and a Mac Pro
Mac Pro $2,499
Dell T5500 $3,630
So for over $1100 less you could get a Mac Pro instead of a Dell. A bit like getting a Mercedes that costs less than a Hyundai. :D

wtf is exactly what i've been saying for a while.
I hate to think that Apple intentionally leaves these issues unaddressed so that you fall for the idea that "maybe the iPhone 5 will run current software better".
But that's exactly what they do. They leave these goose eggs to annoy the user who notices such things, who are coincidentally the same people who will buy a new iPhone to fix lag issues.
I've owned every iPhone, and every new iPhone running X.0, runs beautifully, only to be slowed down and negatively effected by every single interim update.
I believe Apple does this on purpose. I remember when I had the 3G and "updated" it with the latest iOS and it turned it into a clunker. Apple didn't care and they didn't give people the option to downgrade the "upgrade". Apple we love your products, but please understand that we are hip to your tricks now. Geez. :cool:

Unfortunately, Apple is discontinuing support for MobileMe calendar syncing via Sync Services as of May 5th, preventing users from utilizing direct Outlook-MobileMe syncing.
This doesn't affect MobileMe syncing between Macs and iOS devices correct?

by the same token, its always easier to find the units with issues, if they sell one million units and 5000 of them have an issue thats a % any company would take
Agreed but I would bet the percentage is slightly higher (just my opinion) and there are many units where the typical user just doesn't notice or care about the bleed, like I said I'm just hoping to get one without this problem (black 64GB wifi). Apple support has been great in assisting with the issue

In theory and on paper, if you pre-order one you will get it on launch day. BestBuy stores will be allocated the required number of iPhones based upon the number of pre-orders they receive. The only way I could see you not getting one on launch day, is if more pre-orders occurred than were currently manufactured, the shipments get lost or damaged or stolen, or if too large an amount of people try to signup for pre-orders.
If the store only has 1-2 mobile registers, and it takes about 20 minutes to process 1 client (average will be much higher), figure 3 people per hour for about 15 hours (7AM opening to 10PM closing), multiplied by two registers. That's roughly 90 people. As rough as those numbers are, you've got to guesstimate what the chances are of that many people pre-ordering at your nearest BestBuy. At some stores in my area I would be surprised to see half that number pre-order the phone. At other stores I would expect several hundred.
A pretty fair assumption is, that if you are allowed to pre-order then that BestBuy store should be confident that they will have stock levels that will allow you to get a phone. There is a master list so it's not like buying movie tickets, you'll be able to see or ask how many people pre-ordered before you.
Bloodbone, I was 1st to preorder 2 White 32GB iPhones for my sister and me at the local Best Buy. If what you say is true, then I should get them on launch June 24th, right? What about the rumors of the white iPhones being delayed up to a month after launch?

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.

I can also say that the incoming class at my college was 60+% mac. Granted, tutition here is like $43,000 and the student body is about 1600, so this is a not a broad sampling of the population. Still a good sign, though.

Bummer on the GPU. The 7800 is probably worthless anyways :p
Oh and I did manage to get all 4 clients running the the G5. Trying to figure out the PPD on that?
glad you got the 4 clients working. i think there are a few programs like fahmon that might be able to tell you your PPD. but i'm not sure since that's ppc

The GF and I stopped by our local BB just after opening this morning as well. As much as I don't particularly like BB, our location made it as painless a procedure as it could be. One iPhone each. In and out in a few minutes, with a 10am appointment made for pickup on the 24th. And a promise of a call for confirmation before then.
BTW, the GF used a gift certificate for the preorder and will use the remainder when she picks up the phone. Absolute zero out-of-pocket for her. I'm glad I tagged along today, having heard of the disaster elsewhere.
Good luck to those of you still looking to preorder.

Price difference isn't as much as people think on NEW Macs.
On used vs used, it's huge.
You can get spec'd HP xw8400s for 100-300 on eBay, while a similar MAcPro costs in the range of 1000 - 1500.
Like right now, mp dual core 5160 is selling for 250. Can step up to quads for about 500-600 with a xw8600.

Obviously, a lot of others noticed what I did. I know Steve has a lot going on, what with running two companies and now being the biggest shareholder of a third, on top of being a cancer survivor. But I agree he did not look all that healthy today. I have been watching his Keynotes for several years, but between the ragged beard and his gaunt physique, he did not look well. He also relied on "help" today for a greater part of the presentation than is typical.
I'd like to hear your opinions, and hopefully you'll convince me I am wrong.
Thanks,
Chris

3D audio cues? How would you get anything above 1D audio cues?
Are you not able to locate a source of sound behind you or above you? I sure can, and with only two standard ears. How about that!
