Will have to check the wife's iBook, my PB and the spare battery I bought for it. Would be nice if all three were replaced!
It's a bad year for Sony as they are going to be paying out the nose for the replacements. Apple will probably send the replacements overnight - adding to Sony's misery.
For even more Sony misery - they might be joining the party:

I understand HP and Dell having such a huge market share because of large businesses and old people, but ACER?!...
I'm fairly certain they just dumped 1.8 million units off their trucks this quarter and said somebody bought them...

The exploit is apparently in the device driver, and so its more of an issue with Atheros than with Apple.
The drivers are part of the OS.
Apple did not write all of the OS much of it comes from BSD UNIX and some more of it comes from CMU's Mach. Many (most?) of the hundreds of applications that ship with Mac OSX are Open Source that Apple did not write.
We shouldn't care much about if Apple employees wrote the code or if they hired the job out of it the downloaded an Open Source application off the Internet. If the software has a problem it needs to be fixed.

Hopefully a jailbreak will be out soon now!
I would imagine it won't take too long to get that out.

I thought no one cared...
Exactly. One reason why I've tuned out a little from news threads over the years because they're often filled with a relentless tide of a) people who haven't got the slightest clue what they're talking about or b) assume that because they have an opinion about something, that everyone else shares it, including people who don't post on tech forums.
Tip-toeing and cherry-picking through the chaff to find those who've got something of value to add and something we can all learn from can be a time-consuming affair.
Regardless of your musical tastes, why anyone who proclaims to care about Apple's success would begrudge them expanding their catalogue to include one of the most influential bands of the 20th century... well, it's a complete mystery to me.

New iMacs released :
http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore
Couldnt see it mentioned anywhereYes it's on ours too. (http://www.apple.com/imac/) How come not on the cover of MacRumors!! 24" $1999 2.16GHz Standard with 2.33GHz option for $250 more.
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 128MB SDRAM
NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256MB SDRAM Add $125 NOT DUAL DVI - 1920 x 1200 Max Digital External Support - IE Dual 24" Displays. Analog res support up to 2048 x 1536
"The NVIDIA 7300 GT that comes standard in your 24-inch iMac provides amazing performance for most graphics tasks and games. Upgrade to the NVIDIA 7600 GT with 256MB of video memory if you need additional performance in 3D and graphics-intensive applications such as multiplayer gaming or 3D animation development.
Your iMac also offers built-in support for attaching an external monitor using either of two modes. Extended Desktop mode allows you to work on two monitors at once for increased desktop real-estate (and increased productivity). Video mirroring is useful when presenting, so you can see the same image on a projector that you're seeing on your Apple display."
Supports 2GB Sticks of RAM. Offer one for +$750 - total of 3GB RAM probably could have 4. 667 DDR2 SDRAM. Base is 2 x 512 for 1GB included.
Congratulations on scooping MacRumors phatspider. :D
So loaded with 2.33GHz and 256MB Graphics is only $2374. Not bad. Plus third party RAM.
Maybe the big story here is that a base 1.83GHz with only 2MB L2 cache 17" model with a Combo drive, 512MB ram, Intel GMA 950 64MB IG is only $999. Now that's exciting. BUT for ony $200 more - $1199 - you get Superdrive, 1GB RAM, 2GHz w/4MB L2 cache, ATI Radeon X1600 graphics with 128MB GDDR3 memory, Bluetooth2.0, Apple Remote. That's a lot mroe stuff for only $200 more so they are making the $999 model very unattractive and low volume seller.
Ironically, the ATI Radeon X1600 graphics with 128MB GDDR3 memory that supports rotation on an external Dell monitor is not available on the 24" model. NVIDIA does not support Dell Rotation. So if you want to be able to rotate a Dell 24" monitor, you will have to buy the 20" iMac. Now that's crazy!
On sale, Dell 24" Monitors are only about $700. So for $2200 you can have a 20" iMac paired with a 24" External Rotatable Dell.

I have no interest in speaking into my device outside of answering a phone call or video chat.
I�ve had a lot of success with the voice command Google app. 90% of the time it understands my voice command, and it makes searches super easy. In any case, if Apple adds voice command, it�ll be just that, and addition and not a replacement for text input. There are privacy and quite place issues where voice would be completely inappropriate.

My local Best Buy as of 11:15 this morning(The Woodlands, Texas) did not have any iPad 2's available. I failed to ask them if they were already sold out for the day or if they just didn't have them in stock. Regardless, no luck there.

Usually one person will get in a tank and if he is able to take out the other tank theres no real way to stop them.
4 or 5 Sniper shots will destroy a tank. 2 or 3 if you are precise and can hit either the driver compartment, or the exhaust vent. Just FYI.
But also, you will only have to deal with that for a about another week. The October update to playlists and maps is coming next week, and the Tank is being swapped for a Wraith, along with a host of other fixes and tweaks that people have noticed in this first couple weeks of playing.

They should do a commercial with the Mac and PC guy. The Mac guy can have an iPod the PC guy a Zune. Enter cute girl. She gets an earbud from the Mac guy as she smiles looking like they might start making out. PC guy gets that dude in a dress asking, "Did you get it? I don't get it!"

Uh oh, now you're going to unleash the fury of the autism brigade. Asperger's isn't a personality disorder!
You are correct, sir. The autistic spectrum is not a personality disorder. Uniformed people on here are not understanding the diagnostic term "personality disorder", which are a handful of particular disorders carefully defined by the DSM-IV. The term "personality" is the key word here and it carries with it a specific meaning. And, as someone else has pointed out, in contrast to a PD, autism is a "pervasive developmental disorder".

I've downloaded the dmg and the installer has a customize option. In it there is a greyed out option to install "iTunes Phone Driver"... is that just the Motorola Rokr driver?
I noticed this too, and came to check this thread for someone mentioning it.
Jeej!

I think it's a computer that will fit inside your home and possibly carry around with you (There's something in the Air), that can use your modem's telephone line to connect to the WWW and display text and graphics.
Ha that technology is years off. rtard.

Sounds like Wal-Mart may have an as-yet-unannounced partnership with MS or Amazon (more likely the latter, as Amazon is already delivering movies).
Why else throw this much weight at the issue?
Time will tell at this point...
Oh, and I agree - F Wal-Mart!

Throw in a spanish-english dictionary with either voice recognition or the ability to spell out the word to find the meaning and I am there.
For students taking Spanish in the US this would be really good. It would really help with some people's grades. Maybe people would learn that "No havo my homeworko" doesn't mean anything.
I also like that newspaper idea - it would be really nice if it came from an RSS feed so you can pick any source, not only Apple's sources.

Wow, that was fast. At this rate, next year should sell out within an hour. I think if you wanted to go, you needed to get your bosses approval before it was announced.

If this works out and a Beatles iPod does come out with a commercial alongside I can almost guarantee you the song will be Revolution.

You say you want a revolution.
Well well you know.
We all want to change the world.
those are perfect words for Apple/Apple

If you think about it, it's not all too surprising that some of these "professionals" are getting so worked up and sulky over this release.
And who, exactly, are you talking about?
All I've seen are a few anonymous comments on this message board. Who are those people? Are they pros? I don't know who they are. Do you know?
Funny how you've developed a whole theory about "professionals" and yet you haven't proved in any way that any pros said what you claimed they said. I've read that the crowd at the show seemed to really love it.
So if you're going to come here and claim you've heard people saying the exact opposite of the news report then you really need to explain where you heard that and who was saying it.
