Does this also apply to the late 2008/early 2009 white macbook? Or am I still limited to 4GB?
Edit: Nevermind. Reread again saw that the article stated alum Macbooks. I guess I just got a little excited there. At first glance, thought the artice was talking about all Macbooks in general...

This only means 1 thing, the iPhone mini is comming!
Why do an event to launch only 1 product when you can launch 2? I hope to see the new iPhone5 and a new, cheaper, iPhone mini or iPhone C (from cheap) ;)

Not that my opinion matters but I just do not find it appealing (spically with the sensor at the top...
I am curious how many they are going to sell with a refresh anwhere from 3 to 6 months away...
They're going to sell a crap load. Thinking otherwise is simply foolish.

I think some people are forgetting other elements are involved with the creation of a phone model. Sure, Design has a lot to do with it, as does the supply of parts.
But Apple isn't just some backstreet hack knocking up burgers, reliant on the supply of produce that will match their recipe.
The product releases are scheduled. In the consumer electronics business, the technology needs to progress rapidly, rolling old products into obsoleteness.
Deals related to parts would be in place more than months ahead. Chances are, the iPhone 5 was already beginning testing before the iPhone 4 was released.
Which means, even at prototype level or pre-production sample, the components would have been available long beforehand. You think they knock off 5 million iPhones between announcement date, and release date with complete faith in shipping schedules?
Deals relating to the supply of these parts are made long in advance. Manufacture for the iPhone 5 would have already been getting ramped up, and the need to have the new product available at, or around the existing schedule would be vital. And they wouldn't be taking chances. It's crucial in the IT industry.
+1. I can't watch one of Apples keynotes without thinking how hard it must be to get so excited and passionate about a product which has more than likely been kicking around the office for a couple of years.
The ability Steve has to be so convincingly in telling us that this product is magical and revolutionary when he knows exactly what's coming up in the next couple of years, and how bad this device is in comparison. I find it very immpessive.

That's awfully friendly. In the bay area (USA) we do nothing of the sort.
Yeah, it's not part of learning to drive per se (not until you get into Advanced Driving tests), but any decent driving instructor should at least mention it to his / her pupil.
Right! Back on topic. So, white iPhone 4...;)

You are totally misinformed or you are a blind iFanboy. As per a story on Appleinsider today, Android web share is actually higher than that of iPhone.
You're comparing an OS (Android) with a device (iPhone 4). What you failed to point out in that same article is this:
"So while the entire Android platform with all of their partners, models, phones and tablets has outgrown the single iPhone 4 by 40.98% to 30.35% the past 4 months, iPad is outgrowing the entire Android ecosystem so significantly [that] it more than makes up for the iPhone deficiency plus some. And it just launched 3 weeks ago and millions of people who want them can't get their hands on them yet."
And: "A report from February indicated that Apple continues to own 82.7 percent of all mobile software sales with its iOS App Store".
Competition is good!

You can have had the mobile space crown Apple, but you gave it to Google. Soon you will be third fiddle to Microsoft and Google.

i think this is just another case of some techs seeing a minor flaw (if that) in an apple product and making a big deal. From the possibility of picking up a innocuous signal emitted from a device, to suddenly it's a security risk compromising our privacy.
Any tech who picks up the slightest flaw in an apple device instantly contrives to describe it as a 'security' problem due to apple's relatively good record on security.
It's a compliment really. No one bothers to go to that excessive trouble with microsoft supported products 'cause they almost certainly contain security flaws.
All these sad losers are falling over themselves to expose the FIRST significant Apple security hole.

I would just like to report that I received iPad #4 last night - no problems, looks beautiful and zero light leakage, also passed the dead or stuck pixel test so I'm very happy. Genius bar and the people at local Apple store were extremely helpful even adding "if you still have any problems in a couple months just bring it back and we'll exchange at that time"
I didn't wait in any lines whatsoever, iPad was ordered online right when they went on sale so I received shipment fairly quickly with iPad #1. It was just good customer service by the "Genius" working for me.
That's good to hear -- sorry for my assumptions. I think I was just a bit too worn from everybody swearing up and down that their iPhone 4 was dropping calls more than their other smart phones that I couldn't help but think "here we go again" when this light leakage thing started coming out. Honestly, some of those light leakage photos in the thread are no worse (and often better) than many LCD monitors I have owned. Some of them are pretty darn bad though. I'm glad to hear that Apple took care of it. Again, my apologies.
On the bright side... just think you have owned 4 iPad 2's in a time period that most folks have yet to get one. :)

Is it as sporadic as it looks at 11am in my town? It does look like it could give details on any street, though. That would be better than the FM traffic or even the DOT/camera based traffic used for most things. Esp during road construction when side streets with no other data accumulation become thoroughfares for the summer.
they have had crowd sourced apps that do this in the app store. they were useless. and i'm not going to send data to the crowd database while i'm driving with my kids in the car. illegal and dangerous

Does that include unlimited Windows server? I assume you are using Linux though.
Yeah, I would use Linux... Not a big fan of Windows Server. I run XP Pro on most of our workstations, but that's about it.
Here's what I can do:
1U Tyan chassis w/MB (3yr manufacturer warranty)
2 x 3.0GHz Woodcrest w/1U active coolers
8 GB (4x2GB FB-DIMM - Kingston)
2 x 750GB Hitachi 7200rpm HDDs
Internal DVD-DL writer 16X (not slot-load, aw shucks).
PCI-E fiber-channel controller
Video is integrated into mainboard, dual redundant PSUs...
I come up with about $5200... So if you avoid Apple's support contracts, Xserve isn't quite as far out of line as I was thinking. Especially since they're double-charging for the RAM, so I can knock $1100 off the Apple price and another $200 off buying HDDs elsewhere....
.
I don't need a support contract, just the warranties and in this case manufacturer warranties are good enough as I and a few of my other helpers around here are more than capable of building, supporting and maintaining these ourselves.

My point exactly. Square institutions like Princeton and Yale are well known for, well, being square. It's no surprise a distinct minority of students there are Mac users (even if some of the rest are switcheurs). Take a walk around an Ivy League school with a student population in command of a more comprehensive understanding of aesthetics--Harvard, Brown, or especially Columbia with its boho-beat appeal--and you can't help but notice the difference. Students at these schools, unlike those at Princeton, are natural-born Mac users.
That, in short, is why it's wrong to paint all Ivy Leaguers with the same broad brush. You're not a bigot, are you?
Ahem. Anyone who says that Yale is "square" and Harvard is not has obviously never experienced the two colleges. And yes, I can say this because I am a Yale student who chose Yale over Harvard. Additionally, I really don't know what a "more comprehensive understanding of aesthetics" is, let alone what it has to do with mac usage. And, for the record, fully 35% of people here at Yale use Macs, and the large majority of freshmen I know who bought a new laptop got an MB or an MB pro. Also, I would argue that trying to paint Yale and Princeton with the same brush is also incorrect, and it is even more incorrect to paint Harvard and Columbia with the same brush. It is pointless to generalize ANY two colleges together, especially schools with such varying social, educational, and cultural philosophies.
EDIT: Oh, but don't take my word for any of this. I switched to Mac from Linux, so I guess I'm not a real Mac user.

I just got off the phone with the 75 and Park Lane store in Dallas and set up my appointment for 7am tomorrow morning. I was #22 and ordered a 32GB black iPhone. The manager told me they got about half of what they ordered and confirmed that they received 60 16GB black iPhones. She was in a hurry and I didn't get a chance to ask her if she got any white or how many 32GB black she got in. She also told me that they will only be selling iPhones to those who preordered. She wasn't sure of the exact number but believed that around 130 people had preordered at her location.
