Question I ask is why can't I? Because Gates says it won't function afterwards? That sounds like a crock of sh*t to me!
Another anti-trust case just means more money loses for MS.
Unlike some of the newer PB's out there my TiBook fan only turns on after about 15 mins or so and then turns off during normal surfing and using iApps.
So it's not really much of a change for me in that dept.
Mail works fine. It's Earthlink's mail server which isn't working. It finally authinecated long enough to get my 40 emails of spam and then it died again.
The Preference menu now flows more easily now as well.
Boot up time for me is the exact same or so small I can't tell the difference.
iPhoto, iTunes and the rest of the iApps load alot quicker.
Able to find all our windows server and connect to it.
All items in the dock only bounce about twice now.
OpenGL effects in iTunes now run at 30 FPS almost constantly now. Before the highest it would go would be 28 FPS and it wouldn't even stay there very long.
The sleep light now tends to not breath as deeply when and in sleep mode. It also has dimmed abit as well.
Can't tell you about the fan or email yet. My email server won't authinecate and I haven't got off my PB long enough to allow it cool down to test the fan.
iTunes is currently having 1.5 million tracks downloaded from it's store each week.
This # will rise even more right after the holidays due to everyone claiming their iTunes Music Store Gift Certificates.
That doesn't even include all the iPods they have sold thus far. Most places like CompUSA are already out of stock of the 20-30GB iPods. So this to me is sign that iTunes Music sales will probably spike right after Christmas.
Right now the big rumor about the 4th Gen iPods which are coming in Jan. will not just include the normal bigger storage compacity but a ePod line in the $100-200 range.
Apple is already said next yr they will open a Japan, Australia, European, and Canada music store for next yr. I and alot of people think that some these stores will open in Jan. while the rest will open about 3-4 months down the road. This would cause very large influx of downloads per week.
Also starting in Feb. Pepsi will be doing it's 100 million iTunes give away which will definitely make Apples overall #'s go up and up.
Right now it's been rumored that Pepsi will also be giving away 600 iPods with Pepsi logo iSkins and each will be #'ed.
I believe Apple will hit 100 million by Jan. and if the McDonalds promo iTunes deal goes through those #'s will just continue to increase.
So no I don't see it slowing down.
On a side note it's nice to see Winamp 5 guys went with AAC from Dolby. Which just goes to show the AAC std is catching on.
That is why I believe OS X is better then Windows simply because more folks can help fix it.
Now all Apple will do is take the code for the fix and tweak it abit and add an installer and call it a Offical Security Update. This sucker will probably be out before end of Dec.
Right now they are working on getting 10.3.2 ready for the public since it's going through it's final seeding to developers which just happened over last Fri. I expect a release for it this week unless some bugs got discovered in this final seeding.
Apple will just post a fix for it in Jan. if they've been already told about it.
They have new OS update coming this week so it could include a fix for this issue as well if it's an easy fix.
You can always covert protected AAC(MP4) to WAV and then to MP3 though you will lose some sound quality.
If you rip your own CD's you can rip them in plain AAC(Dolby std) which means it will play in any cd player or mp3 player that accepts AAC files.
AAC basically allows you have 128k file and make it sound like you ripped it at 192k.
Get an iPod because right now all the girls want them atleast all my friends GF's do. Also Pepsi will be giving away 100 million songs away starting in Feb. so if she drinks Pepsi she could then actually use those free songs on here computer and iPod, so it would be like the gift that keeps on giving
Where were you? This was through their retail chain and online store as well which also included Canada through it's online store.
You can also buy them at discount through edu and gov discounts.
Also if you don't mind a refurb goto www.smalldog.com as they sell new and used models people have traded in for a new model.
Apple is suppose to be releasing a 4th Gen iPod at MacWorld so you might want to buy them after MacWorld Expo because all them will get a price break once the new iPods are introduced.
Apple also sells refurbs through it's website from time to time..but they go very quickly.
Right now they got the following(refurbs from Apple Direct):
iPod 10GB (Mac & Windows) Dock not included
$229.00
iPod 15GB (Mac & Windows)
$279.00
iPod 30GB (Mac & Windows)
$349.00
Also check Best Buy for open box sales.
Also another reason most reseller won't cut prices on iPods is because they are the hot item for Christmas this yr. I know for a fact at two CompUSA's here they sell between 30-100 iPods a week compare to all the other MP3 players which they may sell 5 if their lucky.
My friend at CompUSA told me they sold 2 Dell DJ's even with a sale on them. Now compare that to the iPod sales which they sold 45 of at reg pricing. So why should Apple or resellers drop the price when they sell that well even when others have discounts on their MP3 Players.
Also Apple has another thing going for it. The iPod is fashionable because it's the "in thing" to have at HS and Colleges. About half of the college girls on campus here have them.
Now if Apple comes out with it's econ. priced iPod and similar video type iPod I think they will pretty much kill the rest of the market.
On the rest of us. I want AAC because atleast Dolby knows somthing about sound which is area MS is seriously lacking in.
Don't push MS only stds on me or I'm not going to buy your products simple as that.
I doubt Apple puts up any adds without making sure it's ok with the owners or buys a permit of sort.
I would love to see Apple take action against this joker because Apple has many options out now for the iPod but they fail to list them which makes me think they like pushing the lie on the unassuming public.
He had a so call friend running around all the Mac forum sites making comments about his friend was going to blow the lid of this remote access exploit and made very big deal but most folks (macrumors.com) blew it off because I and everyone else knows Apple will fix issues when they arise.
Apple has already seeded a copy of 10.3.2 to developers twice in the last two weeks which included new security updates.
What I need to ask if he knew Apple had this planned why release it when you know the actual fix is being seeded to developers as of two weeks ago?
Dec will be the release date of 10.3.2.
Apple has recently started selling iPods through Target, CompUSA, Best Buy and Circuit City and all 3 offer insurance that basically replaces your iPod with a new one if issues happen to it. Most are offering 3yrs for $30.00 approx. and 4yrs for $40.00 approx.
Also Apple now offers AppleCare for all new iPods and for iPods under a yr old like mine. This is 2yr deal from the the date you bought your iPod. This includes tech support which now has tips to help improve your battery charges. The price is $59.00 or $46.00 with edu. discount.
Apple has also a battery replacement program for $99.00 for users with original iPods or iPods out of warranty.
There is also many 3rd party battery service now available to iPod users that either gives them DIY kit or they actually do all the work for you type service. Most places are charging between $25-50 dollars range depending on what you get.
So stop complaining and use one of the above services. Also if you don't want to mess with any of it get creative and make nice firewire external HD out of it.
I currently have 40GB iPod and had no problems with it at all. I plan on buying the new vPod as soon as it comes out next yr.

You've been in a closet way too long.
Aussie money would be the best because it's made out stretchable plastic that can't be photocopied or scanned because of the plastic covering.
Service can be a process of doing something. According to web. dic. a new process or way of doing something is an invention.

I've had a TiPB for over a yr now and haven't had any of these issues.
I tried to submit this story but Slashdot rejected me..now I wonder if they just want to perpetuate a lie.
1) Disable network authorisation services from obtaining settings from DHCP via "Directory Access". 2) Turn off DHCP support on all interfaces.
On the rest of us. I want AAC because atleast Dolby knows somthing about sound which is area MS is seriously lacking in. Don't push MS only stds on me or I'm not going to buy your products simple as that.

I would love to see Apple take action against this joker because Apple has many options out now for the iPod but they fail to list them which makes me think they like pushing the lie on the unassuming public.
I would say Apple will probably update Jag. as well but at a later date. Most Mac users have switched or will be switching over the holiday season.
