What other location data is Apple collecting from the iPhone besides crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower data?
Apple is now collecting anonymous traffic data to build a crowd-sourced traffic database with the goal of providing iPhone users an improved traffic service in the next couple of years.
Apple told Congress that the GPS info to "analyze traffic patterns and density" (which I too, originally took to be about signals, not navigation) is only sent to Apple every 12 hours. Hardly realtime data.
So right now, it could simply be data collected as test info to help developers more realistically simulate traffic during code testing.

Yes, it blends. Everything blends... But tell me someone what does this man need these stupid experiments for? I don't understand people doing such things just for fun. For me it seems even a bit sacrilegeous.

Yes, magnesium is very flammable, but really only in finely powdered form.
That's true, but my dad had an old broken laptop with a magnesium frame. Just for fun he decided to try to light it on fire. I didn't think it would work, because I assumed the frame was probably some alloy including magnesium and besides magnesium doesn't burn easily unless it's in small pieces. Well, it took him a fair bit of effort with a propane torch, but he did succeed in lighting it and it burned VERY brightly, just like a firework.

Or not! It's all falling apart again. England will be luck to get to 350 from here!
Not a bad thing, we might see a 5-day Test... :eek:
I thought Collingwood was very poorly used there, the ball was about three inches outside the line.
Bugger, there goes Struass, 350 might be a tall ask now....
297/7, Strauss out for 129.

Update: Yesterday everything worked with my DVD drive - today everything is the same as before! It won't play some of my DVDs - how strange is that? It seems that the reset made the DVD drive accept DVDs again, but only for a limited time :-(
Does anybody else in this forum have the same problem? Is there any soft fix, or does my MBP have to get ripped apart and receive new parts?

...Look unless you are constantly chasing the latest and greatest then you are going to miss every other iphone model. I have the iphone and by the time my contract runs out I will likely be getting the iphone 6. I will miss the iphone 5.
Very well said. A very thoughtful and rational statement. The histrionics from some members can be too much at times.

The base model has a 5660 @ $800.
What base model? I was looking at the 3797$ configuration you linked, which has 1663$ CPU in it..
BTW, X5660 (http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=47921) costs 1219$... A config with that is around 3000$.
I have no idea what you are trying to achieve since no matter how much you try to justify it or post false specs and prices, it won't make the SP Mac Pro any better value. It costs a lot more than Dell's equivalent. Period.

The white iPhone buys Apple some time to get that iPhone 5 release ready for fall. That and it helps them float/Pad their summer quarter.
Releasing a white iPhone might smack of desperation but this is just the drawn out version of the iPod story. Eventually now when the market is saturated with both Black and White iPhones we will begin to see colors!!! Then, the product line splits and we get iPhone Nanos!

Glad to see that it is now so much easier to replace the harddrive on those iMacs - now I might get one and put a 500GB SSD in it :D
Now don't quote me on this. but i was told by apple, that the highest they came was 128 GB, because i no i was thinking about doing the same thing.

I've been waiting 3 weeks to buy a MBP assuming at least that iLife 07 would be announced today.
It may be there that never will be an iLife 07. Apple may decide to include it with Leopard.

I am honestly not fussed about this.
I would much rather have a physical apple branded itunes server for my house to fit in with my personal eco-system. I just cannot see myself using this - especially with the inevitable restrictions that will come with music I have ripped from my purchased CD's.
Well you already have time capsule, I agree it's a half arsed solution, but anyway it's not an either or thing, we do need much (much) better cloud solutions and AND home servers. And most of us will be far better off with both of them as neither really replaces the other.
Anyway, as someone said, get on with it, I 'd say the same. We can't wait for it.

if it is true, please make it multi network compatible. I am sick of the bait and switch crap to get phone users to switch network providers, just to have an other provider come out with an other hot feature (or phone), that is exclusive to them too.
I hate cell phone contracts!

Before I start making reports, I'll throw this question to the inter-webs and see what the mob thinks.
When I was with Verizon, I got service everywhere. Never a dropped call.
With AT&T, I get no service inside big retail stores. If I'm at Target, Walmart, K-Mart, the grocery store, etc, I get no bars and the "No Service" message. As soon as I'm outside the store, I get 100% 3G service and Bars.
My question is, is it resonable to expect AT&T to try to improve service inside stores?
If you are getting 100% outside, then what does that say about the service? Is this a function of the technology being used by the cell carriers? I know for a fact that one previous company I worked at had to install repeaters inside their buildings for T-mobile service. And I beleive T-mobile uses the same technology as At&T.
I have Verizon and I get service everywhere.

I had a laptop with a magnesium alloy case back in the days before I became a Mac Convert. It was a Sony VAIO 505-TR, and was a very nice light machine. One of the benefits of the magnesium case over the aluminium Powerbook case is the magnesium case never corroded like my 12" PB case has.

If they run this out of the new datacenter, expect it to be a pile of crap. You need multiple datacenters all over the globe else everyone will suffer poor speeds...much like Apples largest audience (the international market) do with the current crappy iDisk.

Graphics board and heat sink from new 21.5-inch iMac
- The AMD graphics chip is located on a separate board from the main logic board, allowing for replacement of the GPU without the need for an entirely new logic board. Apple of course doesn't make the GPU board particularly easy to access, as it is not considered a user-replaceable part, but it can be done.-The new iMac features the same LG display found in the previous generation.
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.

The only thing that needs to be solved though are the dirty practices in both coal and nickel/lithium mining. Yeah, power plants are more efficient at burning coal then an ICE burning gasoline and drilling for oil is no green walk in the park either, but these things need to be solved as well.
Ya i see what you're saying too. I just think far too often the choices made by the buying public are used to fault the automakers. For example, the fact that Ford now sells an excellent, fuel efficient hatchback in the Ford Fiesta doesn't change the fact that, in November for example, 3473 people in the US bought a Fiesta, while 38,541 people decided they needed an F-Series. In this regard, I think it's ridiculous for the government to mandate that a company build a certain number of xx mpg cars, regardless of whether people actually want to buy those cars or not. Instead, the government should create incentives to encourage people to buy more efficient vehicles. You can't blame car companies for building vehicles that satisfy a profitable segment of the market. Unfortunately, GAS TAX is way too scary a concept for any sane politician to touch with a 10-foot pole.
CAFE is set in place for the reason you mentioned, no politician will touch the gas tax issue. Since politicians don't want to tax gas to get Americans to buy more fuel efficient vehicles, they are forced to make the cars themselves more efficient.

Sorry but that's not the case, created an account just recently to provide my input on this issue on another thread. I am 3 iPads down with problems and still hoping the 4th will arrive with no leakage or dead pixels. I'm glad yours is "absolute fine" but if you do a search or just ask around you will find this is a widespread problem
Ha ha ha! Way to prove you arent a Samsung rep..."3 iPad's down", give me a break, nobody could go through 3 iPad 2's with how tight supply has been. Take a hike.

I can confirm the sale of white iPhone 4's here in Belgium at a couple of retail stores. Just picked up a 32gb model this afternoon.
After all, I prefer the black model. Anyone interested? :)
Please take photos of the dock connector and the headphone jack :).

The next hardware upgrades as far as processing power are obvious. Economies of scale dictate they are going to use their latest processors across as many product lines as possible (the next iPhone and iPod Touch are as good as guaranteed to have an A5). I think a delay would more likely be attributed to iOS 5, particularly since it doesn't look like there will be a big iOS 5 unveiling at WWDC. I actually hope this is the case. It would indicate significant changes to iOS, and it needs it!
EDIT: As a side note, fingers crossed they bring Core Image support in this version. Graphics hardware is up to the task now.
I'm pretty sure we'll have a preview of iOS 5 at WWDC which would indicate a September release (in time with the iPhone 5).
After all, the tagline for the event is "Join us for a preview of the future of iOS and Mac OS X."
