I think the more important thing is, can they listen to my tunes and will they have to pay a royalty to universal if it is on their record label?
I'd have thought so, universal probably want royalties when you think about one of their artists.
Back to the topic, if you have to be within 20m, you can see them unless they do round a corner into a building or something, then this Nike+ range would be massively reduced, Apple didn't add security as it's pointless.
EDIT: How do you play those CNN videos on a Mac?

Still no word on SATA III for some or all of the busses? It shouldn't be hard to figure out, listed in System Profiler.

Lol random thought:
Used Mac Pros aren't the most reliable things in the world either, sadly.
Elaborate on that.. My 2006 was a used mac pro though didn't keep it too long, once I found out about the EFI 32/64 thingy because at the time I wanted to run windows 7 64-bit on it. Then once I sold the I then jumped up to the 3.00 ghz Harpertown 3,1 mac pro. I sold that for 1950.00 to a private individual in July 2010.. and then finally got the 2009 4,1 mac pro refurb from Apple.. at the time it was 2349.00 - 1950.00 = 400 bucks for a 2009 refurb..
As if THAT wasn't enough.. then in September and October made the jump and for 300.00 bought the 2010 backplane board and processor board - my transition to a 2010 westmere was complete.. In December, I got rid of the w3580 for the w3680 at 700.00 dollars in late Dec-early Jan 2011..
And now I am at odds about further expanding this thing as I now realize that the 6-core monster I have and all I did to get the "latest and greatest" is now at a stand still. I don't do video editing at all, nor do I have a desire to do so. What I use my mac pro for is easily done day in and day out on my PB G4, but just a little bit faster(everyday tasks).
And last night just placed an order for 500.00 a G5 Quad - I miss this mac so much that I had to have it.. for 500.00 I got 250/500GB hard drives w/it, 8GB PC2-4200 memory, video card is Geforce 6800(not LE)..
Now I need to figure out how to get the 24 inch LED Cinema display to work with it.

Hello,
I don't want to start a Mac/PC/Hackintosh debate. Yet what those hackintosh prove is that Apple is charging a "Mac Pro tax" of around 1000$, +/- a few hundreds depending on configuration. Even if that tax was only 500$ +/- a few hundreds, the question remains: why?
Now don't answer that it's the general Apple tax. How can Apple sell the iMac, which offers very good power (some even rivalling the MP), very good graphics on everything but the base model, an incredible display, more RAM than the base MP model, for a very very good price? Add to that the fact that iMac are rumored to be upgraded in the next few days/weeks with Sandy Bridge.
So again, why does Apple charge that MP tax?

You are comparing consumer chipsets to workstation grade chipsets. Spec out an HP z800 against a Mac pro and you will find the prices extremely similar and competitive, the only thing Mac Pros have been off with is the graphics card selection, but that is getting better as of late.

Atleast there is something good about DELAY rumors... they push for real release date rumors and more info on the new product.
Same thing happened with the iPad 2 Delay rumors.
Stocks go down and people start looking towards other products when delay rumors surface. So the pressure to bring other realistic release date comes out

Phil Schiller is such a bad presenter.
And yes, you are seeing a transfer of power here - whether Steve is sick only he knows I guess.
I was thinking the same thing. I guess Schiller will replace Jobs.

Anybody know if that is possible for Xbox? My guess would be no since it's Microsoft, but I'll look into anyway.
If you're asking about the FREE PC deal, no. Since Steamworks is not used for the xbox version, it's considered a different type of platform. Here, Valve's goal was that since Steamworks is all integrated, like between windows/osx that you pay once for the game and you get it on all tied platforms. Like any other steamworks/steamplay games. Since the PS3 version works similarly, they could do that since PS3 players can play with PC players. Xbox guys are by themselves on this one.

Rental via download: yes!
Purchase: no!
If I want to own, I want the disc. Burning answers that mostly, but a nice box set is still preferred.
But the point is, I seldom WANT to own. It's not like music. I seldom want to watch the same movie again. So let me rent--at a price that's low enough to be reasonable at whatever quality they deliver.
If quality is sub-DVD, the price had better be sub-Netflix and the selection had better be great. (Which is unlikely to happen quickly--but eventually.) Convenience/instant gratification do add some value, but I won't compromise too much on quality. (iTunes TV shows are OK quality for a missed episode, not good enough to collect and keep. For me.)
So I hope Steve Jobs gets over his no-rental mindset on this.
Put me up for own at rental prices. Bury Blockbuster, Hollywood Videos and Netflix.
Store bought DVDs are about as low in price as they can get given manufacturing, shipping, warehousing-- which is why a $4 rental can survive. Digital distribution can get the cost to own to that same price point (or below) and the studios get a payment from every viewer. Win-win-win as far as I can tell.

Yep, it was definitely great to meet up with the MR folks and put some faces and names to the handles and avatars.
(Now, why do I look so creepy in the photo?)
I'll try to make it over tomorrow to see some of the stuff I missed today (mostly North Hall) and have another chat, but I can't guarantee it. I'll have to see how my day goes.

Pretty awesome, I'd definitely get one if I didn't have a shuffle already.
Nice leak-proofing on this one, I didn't see a single shuffle rumor at any of the mac sites. Glad to see that they not only didn't dump it, but gave it a MAJOR facelift. I've always liked the shuffle, now it has a whole new life.
Now will I get gapless playback on my old shuffle?

... indeed, for me, the screen does present a potentially serious compromise, mainly the shape. but, i figure i'll give it a shot and worst case scenario, i bring her back and take home her bigger sister.
... though that would make the holidays a bit awkward. :(

Remember the issue with the antenna, it was again Steve Jobs who took the platform to explain their findings, and to give a partial solution. Where was Google when they got caught out with wifi data? Oh yes, they were talking about going up to the "creepy line".
Do you really want to go there? Steve only (and finally) spoke up only after many articles, bad press and a bad review from Consumer Reports came out. Apple's official stance was that there was no issue. Then it was a software issue and how it displayed the bars. Then there was an issue - but an issue shared by all phones (only it wasn't the same issue) - antenna attenuation.
I think pretty much any business is going to act in their best interest as much as they possible can until their bottom line is in jeopardy.

I'd rather Leopard was released later with fewer bugs and more stability, than sooner to compete with Vista (that isn't going to be adopted at the same speed anyway).
Thank you! Mac OS Tiger has been a really crappy experience for me. If I didn't have to lose some "tiger only" stuff I would switch back to Panther in a heartbeat.

There's this apparent debate over whether it'll be aluminum or magnesium, but I'm not sure that Wu and AppleInsider's sources are really in disagreement. It'll probably be an aluminum-magnesium alloy, similar to what is used in soda cans, only thicker and with a different finish.

The Wired App is just two stars. For the free edition.
Overall, the app sits at 2.5 stars for all versions.
That's one good reason for Conde to tap on the brakes.

You are not comparing like with like. The comparable model to a Mac Pro is the Dell Precision T5500 and specced up the Dell is about $1,000 more than the Mac Pro. :p
If you actually read the earlier posts, you would know that this is false. T5500 is a dual socket machine using Xeon 5000-series CPU and that is comparable to 8-core and 12-core Mac Pro, not SP Mac Pro. T3500 is a single socket system which uses the exactly same Xeon 3000-series CPUs as the SP Mac Pro.
EDIT: Damn you guys are quick today :p
