    This is not a hack at all.. unless you have SSH ("Remote Login" in Sharing prefs) on and the attacker knows your password, they can't do crap.

    Now, by all means I'd like to see proof that this hack can actually exploit a user's system without SSH on and without knowwing their password, but from what I've seen I wouldn't think so.

    Err... seems like a broad estimate like "2-3 weeks" is a rough idea. It's also not a long time. If people would just order and get on with their life there would be no need to hunt and peck and moan.


    Agreed. Recipe for sucess:

    Click.
    Enter credit card information.
    Get on with life.
    Sign for package when it arrives in about three weeks.
    Enjoy your new device.

    The delays were actually a good thing for me. Gave me time to "cool off" and realize that my iPad 1 is working just fine for me, and I can get along without upgrading to this generation.

    Well since Windows has about 95% of the market, which don't include the bootcamp users, I thinking a lot of people will be.
    Whoz gonna "BUY" Vista....??
    I am definitely not shelling out $250 odd dollars for WINDOWS VISTA!

    It keeps crashing every time I start playing a song. So, I'm updating the quick time in software update, and I am hoping this works.

    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.

    there goes some of sony's good brand quality image.

    one the good side. I once had to swap out a battery from apple before.

    it was quick and easy. honestly i am a power user, travel tons.

    could use a new fresh pair of batteries anyway. i am checking to see if any of my 3 are swapable.

    hey not a bad thing. this is preventative. my batteries have been fine, aside from losing life after tons of charges.

    If they build it from scratch, they could probably design the place with working conditions that don't make people as suicidal (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1104449&referrerid=51132).

    Oh please... not this again! :rolleyes:

    Isn't the RAM the same? Unless they are putting single chips in as opposed to double to make store bought upgrades simpler.

    The 2.0Ghtz versions were upgraded to 1GB Ram minimum (up from 512).

    the 1.83ghtz version is still 512MB

    The very world/country you live in is build on greed, theft, slavery...and here's something new for you but your probably supporting it every day. But hey whatever you do make sure not to download anything you haven't payed for


    Screw it i pay a monthly bill that allows me access to the internets...so in my twisted mind i believe that since i payed for the internets, everything that is downloadable is legit :D

    so, because I live in the US I can't think something is morally corrupt?
    That is an interesting perspective, especially since you have no idea what my political & moral beliefs are...

    We'll see what happens here eh? If new ones come out than there will be a batch of the old Macbooks on eBay.. no complaints for that

    :p

    Cheers

    Only because people are dumb and think that they always need to be using the best computer. Hate to break it, but the MacBook isn't the best.

    I think it's simpler than that - Apple wasn't ready to tip their full hand, just whet everyone's appetite.

    Hence us seeing an older, less complete build while the final version is still being polished.


    For those who are expressing outrage that perfect and bug-free applications aren't being delivered - you couldn't afford them. While it can be done, it can't be done for consumer (or even "Pro") level pricing.

    I don't about FCP but a lot of other PRO software has moved to yearly updates with maintenance subscription pricing to give users confidence.

    I know in CAD/BIM Land we tend to buy this years release for last years features. Not that there aren't new features that will be really useful it takes us about a year to workout how to use them effectively, build that in to office system that can be used consistently and start training people only 3-6 months is the application developers ironing out the bugs.

    To me Pro-software is no different to another member of staff, with all the same complications and relationship building energy before increased productivity comes a round.

    No-glasses 3D on a screen that large could be very impressive. Would be a strong reason to get movies just for the iPad. Of course, only one person can look at it at a time and you'd have to be in the sweet spot.

    I'd rather have retina display if a choice had to be made.

    I'd also imagine it in the iPhone/Touch first, anyway, with 3D pictures and video. Could be a strong selling point.

    The point about smudges on a touch screen is valid. Also, your hand interupting the plane would be distracting, but that could be handled by keeping most of the 3D going into the screen, not coming out (like most 3DS games).

    P.S. If you can't see the 3D on a Nintendo 3DS with the slider turned on, you were either far from the sweet spot and didn't try to look at it for more than 1-2 seconds, or you simply can't see 3-dimensions in everyday life either. There are some who can't. I find the effect to be very cool, I just don't enjoy playing with cramped hands on tiny buttons with an unforgiving viewing angle and low resolution screens... painful too because I LOVE the Nintendo franchises -- wait what forum is this?

    Do you have any idea of how racist and xenophobic that sounds?

    Why is it racist and/or xenophobic to point out unpleasant trends?

    In the US, black offenders make up nearly 30% of all arrests despite comprising only 12.5% of the general population. What's interesting is that if we break it down into pre-and post age 18, the percentages are roughly the same. (sources from 2008-9 data - wiki and FBI (http://www2.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2009/data/table_43.html)

    The trend continues if we go across the pond - (source - BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/6753695.stm)) I had trouble finding figures for adults, but:
    Black people make up 2.7% of the UK population aged 10 to 17, but represent 8.5% of those in that age group arrested in England and Wales, the report said.

    Now, let's look at Sweden. It's difficult to get precise statistics because of the way Sweden records criminal activity, but this article (http://super-economy.blogspot.com/2010/04/immigrant-crime-in-sweden.html) extrapolates the crime rate attributable to immigrants in Sweden. To wit:
    The over-representation is even higher for middle eastern citizens, who are 6.6 as likely as Swedish citizens to be in prison.
    Lastly African citizens are 10.9 times as likely as Swedish citizens to be in prison.

    We see the same pattern in three different countries. It doesn't behoove us to simply cry "racism" when confronted with something we don't want to see. We do better for everyone, not just the affected group, to attempt to find the root of the problem and properly address it.

    Britain is very class based, and is probably racist too. Black people here are generally poor and don't do particularly well at school as well.
    While I appreciate the correlation between poverty and crime, that doesn't adequately explain why Sweden with its incredibly generous welfare system trends the same way as countries with less extensive benefits.

    wont miss him I think the Facebook app could be much better

    Do you actually know anything about him? He is a high profile developer that worked on the original Firefox and the firebug extension. If he quits, it means something is VERY wrong with the Apple approval process.

    I have a strong feeling Apple gave him a hard time with an update to the app so he was like **** that, it is not worth it.

    No more PowerBook. Love the new Mac Mini, I would put in an SSD, but they're still too expensive, and I really don't need one. Its extremely quiet anyway.

    Stock Mac Mini 2.4ghz + 4gb of RAM (Crucial off Newegg)
    20" Cinema Display (I'm going to mount that powerbrick behind the desk, I hate looking at it)
    Bose Companion 2 speakers
    64gb iPad WiFi
    160gb iPod Classic

    what about mounting the cinema display on the wall and put the mac mini under it?

    No, I don't watch TV in the summer. Reruns are lame. Reality shows are stupid. TiVo is God.

    So.. when Microsoft challenges me to figure out "Where I Want To Go Today?", I should be pissed because Windows won't take me to Peoria?
