your posts prove you don't.
Could be. Which parts of my posts are you referring to, and to what extent are they wrong?

Your biggest problem is that you gave them your computer. Never give it to anyone, just say ok I'll stop and be done. They cannot make you give it to them, they aren't the police. It is their rules on their own network so you should follow the rules and if they ask you to stop then stop. Just remember, don't give up your computer. I hope you get it back and all goes well.
Very wrong there and that will only cause more problems. They do have the right to confiscate it. Just give it up and get it back at the end of the day but don't bring it back again.

anyone else get an insanely loud noise just before the instal?
Yeah I think I got the same ridiculously loud noise. I followed the instructions that said hold the power button down until the sleep light started flashing and then this huge "BEEP" came out of the laptop and I jumped backward.

Nope. No C2D in the MacBook until 2007. Why? Distinguish product lines between MB vs. MBP with different chips. Also economics. With only CD in MacBooks, Apple makes more $$$ per MB.
Sorry, I don't think you're always right. While everyone here may outbuy MBP's vs MB's, the mass market buys Macbooks much more than MBP's (according to a recent article, MB outsold MBP 2:1). The MB is very important for apple and will allow them to gain huge marketshare in the notebook market if they keep it up-to-date. A lot of financial success of apple last quarter was due to laptop sales (of which were mostly macbooks) to college kids. So, if apple is smart and wants to experience high portable sales during the holidays, they will have to update the macbooks...after all, they are in a MUCH better price range in terms of gifting than the MBP's and would make more likely gifts. The C2D is similar in costs to C1D now that C1D is getting replaced, thus the price of the MB would not change much with this upgrade.
I am thinking in terms of what is most financially profitable for apple-and my conclusion in that line of thought is updating the Macbooks to C2D within 3 weeks.

Hmm,
maybe this is because a lot of the 'foreign' beers we get are usually brewed here too.
Although, by sheer numbers, our supermarkets seem to carry the likes of Carling, Carlsberg, Stella and Bud in really high quantities.
Another thing is Budweiser's advertising is still up from the World Cup and I think they are trying to get more presence in sports advertising here.
But yeah, the empire we built upon slavery and bullying is long dead...

Probably should have checked to see if it was ok to bring a laptop to school in the first place. Most have pretty strict rules in this area.

And, after all, if such an announcement as this is to come from anywhere, then why not from he who is the MikeTheC...
I can now unofficially confirm that it is now confirmed. But only unofficially.

Yeah it can be turned off. It's actually off by default. Not only would it be obnoxious, but could really take some time to load and a lot of overhead to manage.

So everyone is clear now that Apple did not kick down anyone's door and that Jon Stewart was pretty far off the mark, right? If you want to argue that Apple should not report felonies to the police, be my guest, but that was the extent of Apple's involvement.

A more fluid UI. Things should move the way they do when you are in expose and hit the space bar and then toggle between windows--that looks and feels fluid. You should be able to work with one window at a time with only it highlighted the way a window is highlighted in expose (so basically the expose interface, but let you edit the active window). To be clear, I do also mean that the rest of the screen would still be dimmed. When you hover over the menu bar it would light up, and the dock would etc, as well. But I think an environment where only the front window is lit could be marvelous in certain scenarios. As it is now, when you click on a window you've found through expose and you return to the jumble of windows, it's just sort of overwhelming. Also, expose will help you find a window you've dragged to the bottom of the screen, but once you find it with expose and click on it, it'll still be hidden at the bottom of the screen instead of moving to middle of the screen.
The dock at the bottom of the with naked icons that lap over other windows is too overwhelming looking too. Make all icons a square-ish shape like iOS icons and make the dock something much simpler than the shimmery tray it is now.
The menu bar will eventually need to go away. I'm not sure it can yet. I imagine the functions of the menu bar will go into the dock eventually as right click options or that Apple may move toward applications having all functions available maybe not as menus in windows, but in some way incorporated into the windows. I'm not sure what will happen exactly, but I know Apple likes the iOS concept of the app becoming the device. When you open Maps on an iPhone, it's a Maps machine, etc. So I think we will see a move toward even more simplicity. The Mac will become more like a very simple appliance that retains its power. I think Apple is considering that with the removal of title bars from Quicktime X and the album viewer in iTunes 10.
So to sum all of that up, everything looks junky with lots of windows scattered all over and the dock looks messy. Clean that up. Apple could do a lot of fundamental changes in the UI's look and behaviors. It's in no way at an end point of reaching a pinnacle of perfection. I haven't used Windows 7, but it looks like it may be continuing to make progress in appearance and behaviors, and there's no reason for Apple to not continue changing, which they haven't dramatically done since the very first version of OS X, in terms of UI. In fact the proposed single window mode of OS X that was dropped before its release may be due for a comeback in some new incarnation!
On to Spotlight. Is it just me or did Spotlight used to be a lot better? There are so few sorting options and by default it displays so much junk (web pages you've viewed, etc). Also, if you are constantly recording to the disk, Spotlight will not index and doesn't tell you this. Spotlight should have an indicator of whether it is up to date or not and a progress bar of when it is updating. The only way to tell right now is to go into activity monitor after stopping recording and let MDS start running and wait for it to return to 0% processor to know you can continue with disk recording activities (video recording in my case).
Safari seems to be the best browser on the Mac, but it takes up a whole lotta RAM.
I am sure there are more things I will think of in time . . .

They have about a hundred of these test cars and trucks across the country, if I recall the business articles about them correctly.
And because their tests include competing networks, Verizon probably has one of the most accurate coverage maps for everyone.
As far as the iPhone app goes, I think it's a great idea for carriers without test vehicles and/or to see where the most desire for extra coverage is.
Edit: Here's a 2005 article (http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2005/04/04/verizon-wireless-hear-me-now)about a test car setup, with pictures of the car and test rigs at the bottom.
All the carriers have these mobile test vehicles with their equipment and competitors.

My 802.11b card transmits its MAC address on a broadcast when its on. My phone transmits its SIM card number.I think you are agreeing with their point, that our devices identify us and are not hard to track, while taking issue with their choice of example. Is that right?

Nope, the app has to be specifically multi-threaded to see more than 1 core, it doesn't matter what OS X does. All OS X does is allow apps to do this and sends different threads to different cores. But if the app can't see more than 1 core all its data will only go to 1 core.
Your obviously just assuming that or were given false info. Every dual core/cpu Mac I have ever run 10.4+ on pretty much forces multithreading in everything. I have even done extensive testing on this when I had 2 MDD's and used chud to disable one CPU or the L3 to help see the true gains and losses with and without certain hardware active. Regardless of how any of the apps were written they all performed at least 40% faster with the 2nd CPU.
Also, far too many people use the x86 frame of mind when thinking about bus and RAM speed on PowerPC Macs and make blind assumptions that it will be a heavy burden on things. PowerPC is a totally different architecture and is not near as reliant on bus speed as the x86 world. x86 architectures have as many as 14-20 steps in a process pipeline vs. 7 on G4 arch. When each instruction has to be bounced around the board up to 20 times you need a screaming bus. When it only bounces around 7 times you can get by with a much slower bus. Very simple.
I guess you got all this multithread misinformation from running single CPU iMac G3's and your single QS huh? :)
It's a little comical that a guy that need so much help with something like picking a G5 and how reliable they are is somehow expert enough about multithreading to just flat out say info is wrong. You obviously don't even understand the basics of the very architecture you're using in the first place so how can you possibly claim knowledge about something that goes much deeper?

Funny segment, disappointed in lack of research.
He seemed to have several details wrong and omitted others altogether. Interesting that he chose to sacrifice some facts in preference for commentary that resonates less if you have followed the story closely.
Few seem to understand the potential impact to Apple's business that relies on some level of secrecy to innovate on the scale they do.

iTunes have never been a part of the iLife suite and it have absolutely nothing to do with iLife except for media browser type of deals.
It was originally in iLife but has since been removed. I guess we're both right. Or wrong.

so op your from ameria right? here were i live in the uk bisiness have generally leased lines that is dedicated symetric bandwith for them only and its garenteed. here the general costs are for dedicated 10 meg down 10 meg up about �400 a month over copper pairs, or depending where you are about �600 for 100mb down 100mb up dedicated over fiber. id figure out the difference betwwen a eqiv connection in america and your cost of your current curcuit and try budget that in too. 10 meg up 10 meg down will be plenty.Who is your provider please? That's a lot cheaper than I've been quoted :D

Attach a server to serve the storage and terminate VPN connections and you should have a working solution for a reasonable cost.
