Oh wow and if it comes from a PC mag or a windows site it also must be from a FUCKING PRO-PC SITE.
Notice barefeats have actually posted bad parts that go against the Mac. If it was just for the Mac it would've never even showed the PC winning anything. So I don't consider this a one sided event.
With a stud. or gov. discount the same machine goes for $3,081.
The normal price will probably drop to around 3k in Jan. when Jobs announces a new speed bump for the G5
Which should max out around 2.4-2.6GHz.
In new edition of MacAddict they did a similar test with the G5 but tested against the 3.2 P4 from Intel.
The P4 also whooped the G5 in Photoshop filter test, BUT
when they imported a 25 mb and 50 mb imported file and followed it up with a Photoshop action that mimics real world usage the G5 killed the P4.
Photoshop action included the following steps:
Gaussion blur, 50 pixel radius; Revert; Gaussion blur, 1-pixel radius; Unsharp Mask, amount of 150 percent, 2-pixel radius, threshold of 0; Despeckle; Dust & Scratches, 8-pixel radius, threshold of 0; Sharpen Edges; Rotate, 90 degrees clockwise, Mode Change, RGB and CMYK; Resize, 150 percent, proportions constrained, bicubic interpolation; Save As, TIFF, no compression.
In the tests the G5 ran 4-8 sec. faster then the P4.
Both machines had 1GB of ram.
Think about it this way Coward you can have car battery die and the car is dead. Replace the battery and the car is alive again because it's running like it use to before the battery failure.
Maybe your an idiot for calling someone an idiot.
First I don't charge my iPod everyday but I use it everyday. It usually needs a full charge every 2-3 days on avg. and sometimes even 4 days.
Sounds like your the idiot now.
My friend currently has Gen 1 iPod and it still has about 80% of it's battery left and it's now almost 3 yrs old.
Apparently you don't talk to many iPod owners.
Well it's been a big rumor but apparently Apple is looking to buying Discreet or atleast a good portion of it's products. One them included was 3DSMAX. Which means once that happens it would no longer be updated on the PC platform and only would be updated on the Mac side.
Why do Macs suck for games? Because you don't have a wide selection or because they just play bad on the Mac? Most games coming out for the Mac now play well and the only limits is due to it's gaming lib.
In reality more people probably play on consoles then computer games these days.
Also isn't ILM that uses only Macs and SGI machines for all their CGI animations??
Pixar also uses mostly all Macs as well.
Most people I know in college go with Macs for their low-cost render machines not a PC.
Nintendo is already going to use PPC processor for it's next console which is slated to debut in Japan late next yr.
Microsoft was the last to go with IBM because both Sony and Nintendo had already been signed on with them for months and months in advance.
ATi is also slated to be used in all 3 consoles as well.
I doubt it once you figure the battery normally runs around $50 and to get the tool kit it will cost you $60 bucks.
Now figure you get warranty from Apple and they also install it for you, test it and then ship it back to you.
It cost $69 bucks to send it to any of the other 3rd party companies and you pay for shipping making it come out around $80 bucks by the time you finish. So no $99 bucks isn't bad when Apple covers the battery. Apple won't cover a battery you installed or someone else installed.
I think most folks would send it to Apple just for the piece of mind that their battery now has warranty covering it now.
Also go price a Nokia brand name batter and you will probably pay around $50-60 bucks for it...which is very similar to Apples battery except for the service and labor charge added to it.
Doubt that because many iPod sites have taken them apart to get look at the new mickey mouse logic boards on the new Gen 3's.
If you use a flat head on a iPod you've already damaged the case before you even get to the HD.
The brothers could of easly got a DIY kit but they didn't which ended up bitting them in the butt. But then again knowing that the brothers posted their vid. even though Apple had already had a plan in place shows they are not too smart just spiteful.
Tech Tv used the exact PDA Smart kit I used and preformed it on Screensavers in about 10 mins.
If you have built a computer or added a HD to your computer you can add this battery to your iPod.
I doubt there was alot of those people because the iPod has only been around for 2 yrs and the iPod comes with a 1 yr warranty. That would mean they would have to had issues in following 12 months.
And since it seems to take atleast 18 month or so to have issues and Apples plan came out in Nov. that would mean folks would've had issues by around summer time. So one could say there was maybe 2-3 months some folks may of had to suffer. But most those issues were also resolved by firmware updates as well.
Like before it just sounds like someone wants a quick buck.
Sounds like someone is just trying to make a quick buck off of Apple.
What I don't understand is how do you make a class action lawsuit out of any issue where the company it's self already has something in place for consumers that have battery issue problems.
Just sounds like a scam to me for someone looking to make a quick buck.
Apparently alot of people because right now Apple has the biggest commerically available UNIX based OS out of the market.
Both iPod and iTunes are in the top of their game and are dominating the field right now.
Most Wintel users would call you using Linus or Sun a cult in it's self. So I wouldn't be talking about others if I were you.
Not if you owned an Integra Type R which is alot like the iPod both very unique, pretty fast, and light weight.
My battery died after about a yr and half. Was it covered under warranty? NO. Because it was special light weight battery it could not be warranted more then a yr. The only place you can get a battery replacement was from Acura. Their price was $150 bucks plus labor charge for it being installed. Total price was $176. Some 3rd party companies do offer options now but those are now even higher at $200 a pop!
Don't compare an iPod with an avg car. Because it's not an avg MP3 player. If you want to compare it compare it with my car because they only made 2,000 of them for the US back in 00'.
For me it's the AAC format. Almost no other MP3 HD player offers it and it's simply a better std. then WMA or MP3 and takes up way less space but with a higher quality sound.
Also right now a iPod is sortof a fashion statement as well and so far no one has beaten their UI.
Go to a CompUSA and try one. By the end of Jan. you'll be seeing the 4th gen of iPods coming out.
I doubt that because if everything was open on the iPod someone would simply just make a clone of it and sell it for cheap. Then what would it be worth to Apple? Simply worthless.
I hope you know Apple is open via it's OS and many of it's apps.
I doubt the video had anything to do with the replacement program because it was in the works months in advance of the video being released. The program it self came out a couple of days before their video even went up on their site.
Maybe you should get your facts right before you speak.
I doubt it as most are sent back to Apple to be refurbs and sold again and for those that want to recycle them can simply just send them to:
http://www.rbrc.org/index.html?sp=true&h=400&w=275
or through any of these retail channels
Alltel
Batteries Plus
Best Buy
Black & Decker
Cingular Wireless
The Home Depot
Milwaukee Electric Tool
Porter Cable ServiceCtrs.
RadioShack
Remington Product Co.
Sears/Orchard Supply
Staples
Target
US Cellular
Verizon Wireless
Wal-Mart
So I'm sure if you want to recycle you can take your iPod to any of these fine locations to have it recycled.
Remember when you don't want your old iPod Apple will take it from you and refurb them like alot of OEM's these days.
Probably it's a no name Nokia bootleg battery.
Nokia actually has told it's customers it's not responsible for their phones if they do not use brand name Nokia batteries.
My last Nokia battery was $60 bucks.
For $99 you get it Apple warrantied battery, it's done right (so you want call Apple Tech Support saying I just killed my iPod), it gets tested before they ship it back to you.
Not a bad deal considering that it costs your $69 to have someone else do this for you and that doesn't count shipping charges either. By the time your done your looking at probably around $80 bucks atleast...if you don't go with the Apple deal.
So Apple is about $20-25 more then a 3rd party option will be. But then again most OEM's are if not more.
If you buy an iPod just get Apple Care with it or if you buy it from a another retailer get their iPod insurance for it. This way you will be covered for all battery issues for the next 2 to 4 yrs depending on the plan.
I'm guessing your referring to the new Java 3D and Java Advance Imaging update.
Since it's still in public beta form it won't be found in software update but here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120 289#English
The big rumor for Macworld is almost all of Apples software will see upgrades and some totally new software apps.
Fixes:
AFP Server, ASN.1 Decoding for PKI, cd9660.util, Directory Services, fetchmail, fs_usage, rsync. and System Initialization.
Xcode 1.1 was put back on the Update Server today after a server glitch yesterday caused it to be pulled.
Quicktime 6 MPEG-2 Component is also updated today as well. This was fix an issue where the component expired on the 15th of Dec.
Slashdot Mirror
He's going to say battery still not dead yet. I have iPod 24 months old now and it still holds around 80% of it's charge still.
More the likely the iPod pulled even farther ahead during the holiday season.
OSX 10.3.2 supports Hebrew though Mac Office from MS doesn't and so far they don't look like they'll be adding it anytime soon.
Oh wow and if it comes from a PC mag or a windows site it also must be from a FUCKING PRO-PC SITE. Notice barefeats have actually posted bad parts that go against the Mac. If it was just for the Mac it would've never even showed the PC winning anything. So I don't consider this a one sided event.

So they are user servicable. You only need the tools they use to open the case and the rest is easy as pie.
So are the Napster player and Dell DJ also a scam too? They both come with commercially stated non-removable batteries.
What I don't understand is how do you make a class action lawsuit out of any issue where the company it's self already has something in place for consumers that have battery issue problems.
