1) The MBP doesn't use the same batteries.
2) If you don't return your defective battery they will charge you.
You sure you want to do that?

You need to see my first post regarding this bashing on the first guy who changed his letters on his serial number to get his exchange through. I essentially said he is either smart or a thief.
I would not do this. PLEASE PLEASE see my prior post.

I sure hope this is going to happen. I convinced my friend to buy a macbook and he just puchased one today. I have been trying to get him to hold off until the C2Ds were released. But, he desperately needs it for work since he is branching away from his current company. He needs one now. So, I hope he receives a C2D instead as a surprise.

I agree that Apple needs to come up with some new designs for their hardware. I think the new nanos are a perfect combination of the nano (slim design, flash memory) and the mini (seemless casing, scratch proof) but the other products seem to be long in the tooth. The MacBook Pro/PowerBook has looked basically the same since it was debuted with a G4 processor (what was that, 2002?). The MacBook/iBook got a somewhat update look with the latest release, but kind of took a step backwards IMO.
However, with all of that said, 99% of us do not work for Apple and do not know how to design like they do. Where do you go with the current MBP? I would love to see an anodized black version but that still does not give us much of a difference at all. I am interested in seeing new products. I was dissapointed when they released the new MacPro's in the same encolusers. An extra optical slot and moving the power chord to the top of the tower does not count as a redesign.
Oh c'mon!! Why did the designers at apple pay education for?? Really?!!
Ok... I studied design myself(although a cinematographer now ;) ), and I know how hard it is to keep a sleek, clean, "ahead of it�s time" look and feel. But please!! 1yr Retro style?? Are they using recycled minis or something??
Really guys... This is not a complaint but Steve "Marketing Master" Jobs was not happy on this one... I know alot of people love the minis, and I also know that they will sell millions of "retro" nanos... but in a market POV it�s really bad to "go back in time" with design and say it�s brand new. And one last note about them: There�s millions of colors on the pallete... why use the same ones?? Again: are they recycled?? Cause if they are, I�ll buy a couple, just for the sake of "saving the world".
the Mac Pros for example... they could�ve done the cases with different finish or something.. but keeping the same design saved them millions of cash...
BUT WAIT!! :p
Ok... let�s get a little optimistic here:
Steve told us all last year, that this (2006) was going the be the "year of transition". So it�s quite dumb of us to expect big redesigns, and/or mint new technologies...
That makes me think that the design team is REALLY focusing on applying those new patent technologies on a brand new line of products hard/software. And what happens is:
Marketing Director - Time for new yearlly ipods!!
Design Chief Exec. - Do we still have some Mini aluminum on stock?
Chief Hardware Engineer - Yes plenty for a couple of million.
Design Chief Exec. - Okay, so let�s just wrap up our current stock of nanos with it, and get the hell out of here.
Marketing Director - Yes, cof cof, sir.
;) These are just my two cents... :p
Conclusion: Big redesigns -> 2007-2008

Just saw a verizon commercial.. announcing a new phone. It was black, seemed to have an ipod-like click wheel, with a retractable keyboard in a vertical format.. and something about being announced 8.9.06..... do you suppose????
UPDATE... never mind. On the verizon site it is called Chocolate by LG. it is a v-cast phone / mp3 player.. Sorry.....
Updated update... I know it's not apple... but it ain't bad looking. looks to be about .5" taller than a credit card, and about .5" less wide. sort of too angular design....I think.

Nice upgrade, the color options on the small and big ones are kind of lame, but I hope they will work with a firewire to dock cable for those of us without USB 2.

I like the dictionary idea. But aren't we getting into the realm of the tablet/PDA now?
The big difference is extreme simplicity and loads of content on a central and popular place, iTunes. Its amazing to see the iPod gradually grow into a multifunctional device and the road it took to get there.

That's not how I understood what he said at all,he put "professional" in quotes because he was being sarcastic,to me he meant that if someone is worried about the fact that more people can now operate a software because it's simpler to use/more affordable then they must not be a real pro because a real pro wouldn't worry about such things,they know that they have the creativity and experience that sets them appart.
But the ****ing public doesn't get this. Everyone loves Friday by Rebecca Black - explain that.

They don't even have most of these in the stores and want you to order online.
If you do that you better use digikey.
Radio Shack will be out of the RETAIL business within 3-5 years IMO.
Nothing in there one needs.
Are you serious??? What about them there those walkie talkies???

Personally I see this as a big deal for a reason not many others have mentioned: bringing in the holdouts.
The Beatles are the big one of course, but the others (Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin, etc.) are still unsure about the whole digital music thing. If the biggest hold-out finally folds and goes for sale on-line, others will follow.
(and yes, I'm not exactly sure if the Rolling Stones or Led Zepplin are "holdouts", but they're not on iTunes or anywhere else that I can see... surely there are others?)

I dislike Rand's implication that the libyans fighting could be "terrorists". It's unesscessary given the situation they are in. But I see no reason why the US gov should be in involved. There are always people that could be saved from death whether it's by massacre or disease or whatever it doesn't mean that it falls on the us tax payers to fix it. People who want the US to become entrenched in another war this should pick up a gun and go fight it themselves. It's only a no fly zone now but time will tell.....

As you probably all know my Mac only setup, here is my Mac / TV / Gaming setup of my bedroom (I'm 15). PS3 is connected to the TV.

The Mac / iPad desk:

The iPad is in the Apple iPad case. On the right, I can relax (watch TV, play PS3). On the left I make homework and work with the MBP / iPad. As I sit at the desk I often watch TV. Very relaxing. Photo is taken with my iPhone 4. My PSN is: jessieblommaart. Add me, I'm unbeatable with FIFA 11....;)
Loving my setup, it's finished now.

Sounds great. Better than carrying a real book around (*assuming you don't run out of batteries ).
There are ebook readers for PDAs and Smartphone - there's no reason why it shouldn't work with iPods.
Good progression of the iPod.

Adobe flash... HA!
The wizards at Apple can't even make a mobile device that will run that load of crap. I hope that crap-ware never makes it into any IOS based products.
Considering it runs like crap on Android from what I have read there is no way as long as steve is around that will go in an iOS.

Use Skyfire if you really need it I sure don't miss Flash. :D

Augh, I was hoping they would redesign the G5 case. Its been 3 years!! Cmon apple, stop milking old designs. I think this is the first time that Apple hasnt changed the look of the case when going to a new processor (theyve even changed cases when NOT changing processors...)

I mainly hope that they go up to 1GB of RAM with this. Maybe a minor hard-drive upgrade too. Either way, I'm buying.
But it looks that it'll be soon, and I'm freakin' excited.
Although I hate to say... Intel will keep updating and within a few months there'll be a new "best processor". I'm mainly hoping that I won't regret buying this as it's instantly upgraded.

Still glossy-display only apparently. That sucks.
I agree. To not offer people a choice here is ludicrous. All the people that want a sub-15" notebook with a matte screen are completely shut out. Thanks, Apple.

Er... I'm with the crowd that says there is nothing new on the banner... but what is that Q above the Finder icon? Definately not quicktime... I'm sure its some program that I don't know.
Also why is a cup of tea/coffee up there? There is a small 3rd party prog that uses the icon, I'm just wondering why its up there... perhaps to promote the use of Macs in coffee shops =)
Anybody know about that Q?
Er whoops sorry... here is the pic :) (http://flickr.com/photos/66488342@N00/206062001/in/set-72157594223273881/)
