But, at least they include a HDMI cable and don't forget to tell you that you can't get full HD without it, eh Sony.
Oops, that was a little console war-ish of me.
Not at all.....since others are adding complete costs of accessories to the price of the Xbox 360, it's only fair of you to mention that one needs to add the cost of the HDMI cable to the PS3 so that it can actually be in "true" high definition (since it is not high definition out of the box). Has that little tid-bit actually been forgotten by everyone already? So add another $20-$100 depending on how "good" of an HDMI cable one will want/need/be told is the best, etc. :)
The Premium 360 was already giving you HD out of the box and now the Elite will give you HDMI HD out of the box, just as many had hoped for. The PS3 does not give you that. Sony needs to now step up and add this cable for free to their PS3. Then if each company keeps trying to "one-up" the other eventually we'll have consoles that are cheaper, cooler, quieter, come with all accessories one will ever need, and 10 free games :)
In the end; Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are all out to make a profit. There are many things each could do with their consoles to make them better for us, but they will only do these things once they feel they need to and cannot do much more with the current pricing/configurations. Right now, people are willing to pay these prices so why would a profit driven company want to reduce prices at this point?
I'd like to see:
-360 Elite with wireless for the current premium price and maybe an HD-DVD version for $100 more
-Nintendo Wii for $199 with the ability to connect a USB hard drive (as mine is filling up with all the VC purchases)
-PS3 $100 price drop and included HDMI/Component Cables
All 3 of these companies should do this before Christmas. I'll consider a PS3 once the price comes under $500 and includes the cable (mainly for Blu-Ray). The other 2 I have but I'd consider selling my 360 to get a newer one if the elite contained the above.
Hopefully they will all keep updating their consoles randomly, as I tend to have video game consoles longer than I have computers or cars :) I'd like to upgrade a console every now and then if it's a little better.

Apple has also added a 750GB hard disk for the Mac Pro for $399.00 and the 500GB now sells for $199.00 in bay 1. For bays 2 - 4 the prices are $599 and $399.

Can whoever the first person to get a call from best buy to schedule an appointment post it on here....
Will do.
The guy at my store said he thought they would open up a couple of hours early. I'm wondering if they are going to let each individual store make that decision??
I read somewhere (probably this thread) that, yes, it's up to each location.

It did not go unnoticed to me that Apple is suing one cell phone related company and Nokia is suing SEVEN!
Kodak is suing FIVE!
And FOUR companies are suing Apple and HTC hasn't even countersued Apple! RIM is suing TWO!
What do the most suing companies have in common?
DECLINING.

Right, but you don't know if the leaked design and specs. are only going to the case manufacturers.. Think about what ODM's can do learning the iPad2 designs ahead of time.
They can't do anything with it. People lets get this strait Apple is not making anything special. All the parts are of the shelve its true they make it look nice but at the end of the day the hardware is no big deal, its more of the OS and the rest of the experience. Its like religion the words make no sense but the feeling people get been around others that think almost exactly like them that is what makes them come back. :p

Removable GPU!? Pretty impressive!
I have one of the first Core i7 iMacs from 2009 and they have always had a removable GPU. The 2010 Models have removable GPUs as well. You can purchase used upgrade (5670 or 5750's online, these (http://eshop.macsales.com/search/imac+replacement+video+card) are the 2010 iMac video cards that you can put into the 2009 model iMacs) I had a technician come to my house and replace only the GPU on my iMac i7 (2009), then on a separate occasion they replaced only my logic board.
Perhaps they are talking about the 21" models having removable GPUs? Is that it? It appears that everyone thought all the old models didn't have removable GPUs.
By the way, guys, the iMacs have had separate mobile graphics boards since the first aluminium models from August 2007. The fact that you can replace these boards without replacing the logic board is OLD NEWS. These boards are the same that you'd find in super-thick, high-end gaming PC laptops. It also explains why you're not seeing any higher than a 6750M in a MacBook Pro.
I'm glad someone else knows what they are talking about! :)
It's a standard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MXM
Exactly! They are in fact the Mobile versions of Each GPU, NOT Desktop versions. That why when in Windows (under bootcamp) I prefer to use AMD's drivers for the corresponding Mobile version of each card because it works better than Apple's Bootcamp drivers, which they never update. I've had huge performance improvements using AMD's drivers off their website rather than the BootCamp Drivers themselves.
I've found it kind of maddening that Apple markets these GPUs as full desktop GPUs, because they aren't.

Well, its a better idea than the "I'm a PC, I'm a Mac" video on the homepage :p
I hope they really wow us with the processors they use too.
2.4GHz Conroe on the low-end
2.67GHz Conroe on the mid-range
Dual 3GHz Woodcrests on the high-end

I've spent the past 8 hours playing this (I can't believe how fast time flew! I thought maybe 3 hours at the most!) Its an EXCELLENT game so far. I'm pretty sure I'm almost finished with it. The puzzles are a step up difficulty wise and the game splits into many different areas. The game is much longer than the first one.

Did you get it back? He has a right to hold it but it must be returned at some point. As for people yelling it is BS, rules are rules. The OP should have asked BEFORE bringing it in, simple enough. I think it is pretty lame as they should have an IT team that is capable of detecting a system being hacked but I can also respect their stance. As for having the card off, there is nothing that would keep you from turning it on once he left.

Phil Schiller is such a bad presenter.
And yes, you are seeing a transfer of power here - whether Steve is sick only he knows I guess.
I was thinking the same thing. I guess Schiller will replace Jobs.

Looking forward to an improved native turn by turn navigation app. IMO this is night and day the biggest advantage Android phones have over the iPhone. The turn by turn nagivation and voice integration of the Google maps navigation app on my Droid was absolutely amazing and the free iPhone apps pale in comparison. I haven't tried any of the paid navigation apps. What I'd really like is Google's navigation app on the iPhone but I'm assuming that will never happen. Hopefully this new app will be ready with iOS 5

I think we can all agree that Nokia's meat and potatoes has been in dumb phones. They are present in the smart phone market, but this merger if you will with Windows is going to be their attempt to really recreate themselves in a market they were not very successful in.
That's ridiculous. Up until the last few months, Nokia has had the largest share in smartphones worldwide and has done for over a decade. At one point they had Microsoft Windows DESKTOP sized share of the smartphone market.
The Windows Phone move is an attempt to placate the US market where their smartphones never caught on and also in Europe where increasingly the iPhone and Android are taking over also as Nokia, through it's own stupid management has failed to update it's operating systems in a timely manner.
Personally, I think the Windows Phone move is a good move for the USA since it doesn't really matter and a ridiculously stupid move for the rest of the world where Nokia could have toughed it out for a couple more years improving Symbian and MeeGo with Qt as a development platform. Nobody in Europe really used Windows Mobile and I don't see anybody clamouring for Windows Phone either. Nokia's S40 OS is arguably more powerful than Windows Phone 7 and that's a feature phone OS.

You look for equivalence where we have stated none. We have simply stated that her choices endangered her own life. She is a victim of herself. That is our only point.Speak for yourself. You clearly stated that she should bear sole responsibility.
"She made a bad judgement call and if she was to die because of it, she should be sole responsible." These were your words.
Your tone will not be missed.

People seem stuck on the idea that you would physically have to swap plates of input boards....
C'monnnnn...
It's Aaaaaapppplllleee!
It'll be touch-screen for sure. Ideally, I'd like a physical keyboard that perhaps you could flip over for a touchscreen, because I can't imagine typing on a QWERTY touchscreen... That being said, it might be better for me ol' joints than a physical one...
Anyway, touchscreen faders - yes please.
Wacom tablet functionality - yes please.
Minority Report-like video editing... !

There is a new method of producing carbon fiber called "chopped carbon fiber." It might make sense for Apple to use something like this as opposed to woven carbon fiber, which is very expensive to manufacture.

I don't know, looks to me like a Dell T5500 with no monitor and configured fairly close to the base Mac Pro costs $2962.00 after a $520 discount. Its three-year warranty is more like Apple Care. The processor is slightly faster and the RAM runs at 1333MHz. The Dell needs an optional FW card but doesn't say whether it's FW400 or 800. Also I didn't see a mention of optical sound.
BUT! It's a Dell. Look up the reliability of Dell workstations online and the decision to get a Mac Pro is a huge no brainer. Even several hundred dollars more for the MP's great chassis and Mac OS with the ability to run Windows 7 is still a great deal.
