I read here that many rave about the Otterbox Commuter. A hybrid case that has silicone.
When I look at the silicone, it is a bit softer than many others that I have seen.
What is the life of the silicone? Does it get stretched out? Does it tear? How about the polycarbonate...does it scratch or discolor (thinking of getting the white shell).
Thanks for your thoughts.

The once amusing macosrumors.com (http://www.macosrumors.com) say the same thing, they have been for a while. Let's wait and see. The MacBook modded tablet looks interesting, but I think it's going to be a lot of ���.

I thought the Klipsch S4 were too muddy and the RE0 had good clarity but not enough bass. I've tried about 10 IEM's and the Klipsch X5 is my favorite. It's got 90% of the clarity of the RE0, it has nice punchy bass, and is not muddy like the S4.

Who was asking why MS has to lockdown Windows with an absurd level of protection via WGA? Here is your answer.
If they only spent as much energy locking their browser security down as they did with WGA, there wouldn't be any spyware.

I don't know how the Order Status page on Apple's site works in other countries, but in the US if the item ships separately, there's a separate tracking number with each item, otherwise it will say "preparing for shipping or "not yet shipped".
I would think calling Apple would probably provide more answers than calling the shipping company.
I called Apple and TNT to let them know, now they are calling each other :)
I clearly have one tracking number for both items, yet when tracking this number on TNT UK site, I get 2 items, one being delivered.
I guess I should get my iMac tomorrow, but I will still keep on Apple and TNT back till then. The whole thing is weird, I bought many computers from Apple Online Store and never had such issues.

There is no AmericanISP site, by that name, like CanadianISP (http://www.canadianisp.ca/).
Perhaps someone in the States has a link for you?

Windows: a 32 bit shell running on a 16 bit extension of an 8 bit OS designed for a 4 bit CPU, made by a 2 bit company that can't stand one bit of competition.
Cheers
Now we can add "A 64 bit hack of a 32 bit shell..." to the beginning.
Yeah, this joke has been around forever. It originally was used when Windows 95 first came out. It isn't technically valid for NT, 2000, XP, or Vista. Those are just 32-bit (or 64-bit) OSes by a 2 bit company. :-D

And why not? The Kinect sold in record numbers,the PS3 is playing catchup,and the 360 recently outsold the Wii.
Kinect is fastest selling electronic on record (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12707160)
Xbox 360 Outsells the Wii in February (http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/xbox-360-outsells-wii-in-february/)
Xbox Division sees 86% Profit jump with $8 Billion profit. (http://www.industrygamers.com/news/xbox-division-sees-86-profit-jump-as-microsoft-sells-63-million-360s-during-holidays/)
Kinect outselling Playstation Move 5:1 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/293295/news/kinect-outselling-move-51-pachter/)
Why would they walk away from that when they are the 'Big Daddy' of the console market.
You misunderstood my post. I meant that I don't see another hit consumer product for Microsoft in their future, not that they would walk away from xbox.

The NVIDIA 320m isn't "6 year old tech." Nor are the Toshiba SSD, HD screen, glass trackpad, or OS X 10.6. Get past the mindset that the CPU defines the computer and you'll see that the MacBook Air is a modern device. That said, I would like to see Thunderbolt in the next revision, and undoubtedly it will get Sandy Bridge sometime this year.
Even the 'Core 2' isn't 6 year old technology, its no more '6 year old technology' than Sandy Bridge being little more than a 'extension of 6 year old technology'. The Core 2 is as valid today as it was when it was first released, fine tuned, tweaked, and perfected - to me I don't see it hanging around for 6 years as being bad, I see it as an example of good design that can stand the test of time and deliver great performance to this day. Today the Core 2 is still being sold but under new brands, new names etc. but it is still very much the same.
It will be interesting to see where Sandy Bridge fits into it - whether Apple is waiting for the Intel refresh later this year named Ivy Bridge which will hopefully bring a GPU refresh as well :)

I guess there was no reason to continue. They were prob not making much of a profit on VPC anyhow and 3rd parties already had it covered.
Are they working on a universal MS Office?
I think MS is just plain PO'd at Apple and Steve Jobs right now. :)

Does anyone know if they had any inventory today (Wednesday?
I'm wondering about tomorrow or Friday. With the International launch looming it seems that supply will be tight.

And...just to prove my point. iClarified (http://iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=14467) has just posted that 4.3.1 has been jailbroken (NOT FOR iPad2!). But...look closely at what i0n1c stated...most importantly item c (quoted below):
"c. I am not giving out any ETA again, because the Jailbreak community is simply nuts. Last time I gave an ETA and even before that had passed I got constantly insulted by people that were demanding an immediate release. Sorry guys the more you insult people with the knowledge to actually do what YOU WANT the less motivation there is to use our free time to give it to you."
Comex is working on a jailbreak for the ipad2. It at this point is unknown when it will, if ever, be released. Patience is a virtue....
It'll be here for sure the day it's released :-)
I will say this forum is never short of misleading titles though, hehe.

im thinking of queueing up on thursday too. What time does it open? I have never queued for something on launch day before. Is it likely to be a HUGE queue? Will they sell out of iphones in hours? Can I reserve before hand?
Thanks in advance for help.
Joe
p.s. Also do you know if orange stores will be selling the iphone on pay as you go and have them in stock from thursday? Also if I was to buy one from vodafone on pay as you go(I know a guy in the shop), would it work on orange?

One of the things that bugs me quite a bit in tiger is the video mirroring - it always runs at the native resolution of the lower-res display, presumably now with this new feature this won't matter, and both displays can be run at their native resolutions whilst still being mirrored?

I picked up a SonyStyle catalog last week and I noticed that Sony is also announcing a GPS add-on for their cameras. Presumably it would do the same thing. I guess the idea being you can track the locations of your photographs as you travel on vacation.
To each his own, I guess, but I thought that seemed pretty silly when Sony was producing it, and I still think it's silly even with Apple at the helm. I mean, sure, it's cool, but would I pay a couple hundred bucks for that? No. Definitely an early adopter toy.
However, I do happen to be in the minority of folks that has a good GPS receiver (in my case for geocaching (http://www.geocaching.com)) so it might just be that since I already have invested good money into existing devices that provide me the means of doing the same thing, I'm reticent to spend more on the same thing. It would be neat to see more integration between, say, Bluetooth enabled GPS units (which exist) and digital cameras.

Thank. That is what i wanted to know. Do you know of any other services?
Just a little heads-up:
Spotify is apparently launching in the US in Q1 2010. This will presumably include their advertising-supported service that comes at no charge. This one is definitely worth waiting for.
Of course, a lot of CDs can also be listened to on Last.fm (http://last.fm), although it definitely seems to have gotten more restrictive nowadays and fewer albums allow a complete play-through instead of short previews.

Yea... I'm not sure if I can get the mac in the store because I want the 7200rpm 160GB HDD which is not common in stores (at least in New York they weren't). I want the high end 15 inch MBP with that faster HDD and I'm gonna upgrade the RAM on my own.... I can get 4GB for like 200 instead ofthe 650 Apple wants with the student discount =(
Give them a call, sometimes they have special configs. available for sale on site.

Well, I see for me, some one who isn't going to buy an extra device to play portable games (my iphone has enough games I like, and not just the stupid little angry bird type games, stuff like old rpgs (and some new designed for the phone) and racing games) good and bad in this.
Good in that it may tempt more of the bigger developers to make stuff for my device (like Square has made quite a few games now though many of it is old games redone but hey, they're still fun :) , Capcom has some though in general I don't think Capcom has gotten the hang of making good iphone games, not as impressed with their stuff, we have Gameloft as well).
Bad in that the stuff that is encouraging people to move over is the angry bird type games and that it appears to make the more in depth stuff isn't as profitable. So in the long run we may not see as many games come out that are profitable.
Already it is sad when you look at the console market a lot of games are just games based on popular movies and not much innovation (cause the games based on the movies make the money and stuff like Okami and more innovative stuff gets ignored). I remember when I was reading an article complaining about how that was the trend in games (it happened to movies too once blockbusters came out. Movie studios were more interested in making blockbusters than unique movies, basically finding a formula that worked and sticking with it rather than trying anything different).

Looks good! Only thing I'm not fond of are the bigger avatars (although I will be making mine bigger to fit in), the huge text capabilities (I think this will be abused) and the different colored smilies. But that's just IMHO! ;) The rest of it looks great. Good job!
