That would be a great move to steal the Zune thunder and make people focus on the "new" iPod. That would seem ot be the best idea I have read here, but alas is it even true that there is this "new" hardware...

OH, I see what you're saying now. Yeah, the frame is always whiter than the glass, at least after a while, since they change colors after a while. My frame, front panel, home button, and back panel are all different shades of white. Were all the same when I first got them. I'm assuming that the real white i4 will be the same way.
I think he's saying the white point of the screen itself is not as white as the surrounding bezel. Which I"m sure is true. However, the same could be said about the black point compared to a black bezel.

I have a feeling Leopard will blow everyone away with all the cool features. But most of all everyone is forgeting that it will be the first true 64bit OS. It will unlease the potential many only dreamed of in applications.

Schools always have police around so it could easily be taken away but why would a school have the right to take something away. I never had this problem in college but in high school they tried to take my iPhone and I wouldn't let them. I said they have no right to take it, they called the police down to the class I was in but by the time they arrived the school days just barely ended. Everything turned out ok.
For you it turned out fine... That time... If you are asked to give it up, be reasonable and ask if you may retrieve it at the end of the day. If you put up a fight they may think you are up to something and it can get worse. The OP stated he did nothing wrong, so just give it up until the end of the day and then simply take it home. Pick your battles wisely. If you want to change that policy, do it the right way.

Sorry, mate, but I think you're missing the point.
For a company like Apple losing a prototype and it ending up in the hands of a tech blogger months before its release was probably a big blow. But that damage is now done, nothing more they can do about that. The only thing they get to decide is how to handle the matter now with respect to the felony (probably) committed by the finder and Gizmodo. Are their interests best served by getting the police to bash down this guy's door and confiscate the tools of his trade? Apple is a corporation owned by its shareholders and upheld by passionate customers who buy things at a premium because they feel good about them and the company that makes them. It doesn't get to throw a tantrum. It has an image to consider. What's to be gained by tearing up this blogger? A deterrent for similar cases in the future? Give me a break. The next guy who gets his hands on a prototype will just be a bit more careful not to show his face in the video and claim it was sent to him by an anonymous source. That's all.
So, yes, it was a felony. But it still lacked style and class to go after the felon like that. And style and class is what Apple is all about.
Apples hand was forced once the device was sold to Gizmodo. I don't think I missed the point at all. If you don't address the selling of a prototype device that your company has spent millions of dollars developing, then that would be irresponsible to your share holders. The method to go after someone who has stolen, or paid for stolen property is to contact the police. I as a share holder of Apples would expect nothing less then them using law enforcement to go after these criminals.

How did you secure an appointment to get set up? Which color did you get? I preordered 2 white iPhones 1st at the local Best Buy, but they weren't able to set an appointment for receiving and setting up the iPhone but said they'll call me "soon" to set one up.
When I paid the $50 deposit, the sales rep told us that they were making appointments (right there on the spot, no call backs or anything), 2 customers at a time, every fifteen minutes on the 24th, starting at 9am. I guess its different for each individual BB store.
I ordered a black iPhone 4 16gb. There was no mention of a problem or a delay with the white ones. If there is a problem with the white ones, then the sales rep (or anyone else in the store) was not aware of it.

These data centers will allow every Apple users to have a Mobile Me account. All of our info will be stored on these giant Apple shaped clouds. The more Apple gives up, the more we will depend on them.
Apple does have the clout and connections to compete in the streaming market... but they already are in that market with iTunes/ATV. Will this media venture continue to evolve for Apple? Of course. But thinking these data centers are for some huge massive influx into the media streaming buzz by Apple is ridiculous. The talks between Apple and the content producers would be more massive than these data centers. Something like that couldn't stay hidden.
I for one welcome out new Apple shaped cloud overlords. May they profit like madmen with all of our personal info.

Once upon a time iLife came out every year and had incremental updates to each of the programs, sometimes adding a new program by surprise. We all knew to expect the iLife update each year and I purchased every update without hesitation.
Fast forward to the disruptive time in iLife's history, the killing of iMovie HD.
That marked the end of iLife as we knew it. No longer would we see nice improvements of our favorite iLife apps each year. No, now we are on this kill iLife crusade. Next up, kill iDVD just when it was really getting good.
I miss the old days of knowing that each year brought a new iLife. It was fun and exciting. Now I can't even get the RAW photos off my MC-LX5 camera because iPhoto can't read them.
Ok Apple, I played ball, I just bought a new 2.8 Mac Pro Tower of Power.
But, just like iLife 11, I am still waiting on it to ship.

Looks like I'll be making a stop at the AT&T store before work on the 24th. It's stupid that they are prohibiting employees from buying it when we won't get the phones till that morning anyway, and its not like Best Buy loses money off employees since I have to pay the exact same as everyone else.

Hi Guys,
I wanted to get your opinions on something.
Recently, Apple added a whole bunch of free online seminars on it's seminars page (you can get there from the Hot News page).
In a number of the seminar descriptions, they speak about the "awesome power" of the "Power Mac G5 Quad" (which is true), and they keep calling it "new" on more than one occasion (it's close to a year old now).
This is interested to me since there's speculation that the "Mac Pro" will be unveiled at the WWDC (hoping). The release of these seminars, and the fact that they promote the quad and call it "new", means that:
a) They're desperately trying to sell as many of these machines as possible because they haven't sold enough of them and before their Intel counterparts are released, and/or,
b) The new "Mac Pro" quad will not be coming out until the year end - perhaps only a mid-range "Mac Pro" will be unveiled @ the WWDC.
What do you guys think?
Regards,
Filmguy
Those seminars come up periodically. I think they're just on an automatic reload when it comes to the right time.
Apple won't give anything away before an event, especially not days before. The best leaks come a few hours before the event kicks off.

...Two 10-Gbps data channels per port...
I saw that - but TBolt has always had two 10-Gbps channels per port.
I'm looking for a statement that says that each port is independent - so that you get 4 channels (two ports with two channels each) with an aggregate throughput of 40 Gbps (each direction).
That's not possible with a PCIe x4 link to the controller as is shown in the Intel diagram. Since the teardown shows only one TBolt controller - either the Intel diagram is incomplete (it doesn't show the possibility of a PCIe x8 connection), or the two Imac TBolt ports share the bandwidth of a PCIe x4 connection and cannot simultaneously run all channels at the rated bandwidth.
This entire Thunderbolt hypefest gives the term "vaporware" a whole new definition.

And the Dell would still end up being around 1000$ cheaper.
what even a bigger kick in the head is they have the new E3 xeon's in their new T1600 mini workstation as an option.

Maybe Apple is going towards the "DARK SIDE"
They recently changed their website menu bar to Liquid Metal Black:

Looks like the top of a quick look window, it's not a new UI element or look.
