I really don't see any MB or MBP updates. Again, I could be off, but I don't see those until later this year.
I'm sure the C2D chips coming out on all sorts of Windows laptops may be putting some pressure on Apple to update their laptop line, but I think it's still too soon.
It might be too soon for you, but Apple will lose sales if they stick with yonah.

IIRC, it's a feature, not a flaw.
Everyone I know who has 4.3 has the double vibrate so it's not just my phone, but I haven't heard anyone else say anything. It's pretty annoying. Anyway, I was just wondering if this fixed that issue or not.

As I didn't respond to post #36 back then, allow me to take this opportunity to say, @fragiledreams, HAHAHA!
On point, I still see people on the train to work using iPod Classics quite often. Sure, they look kind of beat up and old (the iPods, not the people) but they haven't been replaced by iPod Touches either, so there's continuing demand for them.

I heard that from someone else, I tried it but that's referring to the amount of times it repeats. If you don't respond it will repeat that many times until you do. This issue is the double vibrate right when you get the text. I can see how people like it, but it's just annoying for me. My emails and texts are usually in the same importance level and I need to respond to either of them ASAP. It just feels weird and kinda wish they had the option. Oh well. Maybe in 4.3.2
Hmmm, that's weird. When my phone is set to vibrate, I believe it only vibrates once on text messages. Of course I don't get very many texts, and I don't set my phone to vibrate very often. I'll test to make sure and let you know.

Never thought i would hear a republican say "illegal war". If this was a republican president, i think dime would be singing a different tune. If a democrat takes military action, suddenly the republicans become hippies.

Question:
Stringer's discussion of camera production for Apple was confirmed by The Wall Street Journal:
Early on, he raised the irony of Sony supplying camera components for Apple devices. It "always puzzles me," he said. "Why would I make Apple the best camera?"
Answer:
Because you want to sell 20 million units with no marketing risk, minimal inventory cost, large prepayments from the customer, and unusual engineering support from the customer.
That's why.
One order covers your R&D and production ramp costs across all your other products, profitably.

is this really a big deal?
Seriously, The Beatles were great, I would think by now most people have their songs.I'm often surprised to meet a new Beatles fan who "inherited" their interest from their parents. And the publicity surrounding an iTunes debut would add to that interest.
I wonder if they'll have a "complete catalog" package?

I suggest everyone give this a shot...
http://public-consultation.org/exercise/
This is a pretty cool exercise. I just fixed the US budget problems, and was able to increase spending on education, environmental protection, and assistance for low income families. All while shoring up social security and increasing benefits. Give it a shot everyone!
Your budget deficit for 2015: Surplus of 221.9B
Percentage of long term social security solved - 125%
TAX THE RICH, TAX THE RICH oh and cut military spending by 80%
Problem solved
Here is my budget:
Reduced spending by 175b$ by cutting defense and secret services by 2/3. Eliminating foreign military aid, large farm subsidies, eliminating foreign economic aid for special interest countries and immediately ending the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Agressively increased spending for all line items across the board including domestic security for the hawks in here and border security but especially forward looking investment type spending in research, education, infrastructure and the environment. Also increased small farm subsidies though I would tie that to organic/sustainable farming practices and eliminate subsidies for all conventional farming.
Increased taxes to the maximum allowable rate in the program for incomes starting at 200k$ while maintaining the tax cuts for the incomes below 200k$. That generated another 280b$ in deficit reduction.
Raised corporate income tax to the maximum allowable rate in the program. That generated another 100b$ in deficit reduction.
While it's peanuts I also raised carried interest taxation and turned it into regular income.
Took the 9b$ risk fee from the banks, together with carried interest that made another 10b$.
Garnered carbon taxation at maximum worth 115b$.
Took in 12b$ on booze tax.
Garnered the 36B$ of maximum soda pop tax (considering how toxic it is and how much it is responsible for the rise of Diabetes, it's a fair tax)
At this point the budget was balanced. Now on to generating a surplus and pay off that Chinese debt.
Garnered 330b$ in surplus for a 10% VAT, would consider reducing it to half of that once the debt is close to being paid off. Rest would go toward increasing forward looking spending on research and education.
Garnered another 20b$ for estate taxation although I would be much more aggressive here than the program. Small to lower mid-size family run companies and small farms would be excluded while the 55% tariff would hit immediately at 500k$. I would eliminate the ability of super-rich people to harbor money through trust funds and socalled charities and living wills.
Either way, I am running a 353b$ surplus with a strong forward looking spending policy.
For social security I increased the contribution by the 0.1% point and included all wages into it. Changed to a flexible COLA calculation and increased entry level benefits. Retirement age remains the same.
50% surplus. Surplus funds would be siphoned off specifically to pay off national debt and then split half and half into a crisis fund for the next recession and the other half into special care provision for the elderly.
Btw. when I say paying off debt I would pay off debt for fed, state and municipalities and write in laws that all levels of government have to balance their budgets and make issue of public debt illegal. Also I would force all levels of government to undergo annual public audits on their spending.
Cheers,

First off, I don't think there will be an iPhone with LTE until 2012. The reason being is that the battery life will suck and there will not be enough coverage for most people.
Second, would you rather have an iPhone 4 or a new LTE iPhone with crappy battery life? I'll take the iPhone 4 all day long.

Spent about an hour on the phone getting through to Apple. I too was having a problem with getting the web site to accept my batteries serial number. I was told that they were aware of the problem and to try later. I waited about two hours and tried again. This time the serial number went through fine. I suspect that matter is simply one of server overload.
There is no need to submit a bogus SN to get a replacement of a battery that is clearly within range. The only reason (if indeed it is a reason) to submit a bogus SN is one of greed.
Greed, i was entitled to a replacement battery........i did nothing wrong.....i am only getting what Apple and Sony owe me........

Well spoken, blitzkrieg79.
It is amazing to me that otherwise intelligent people parrot the corporate line that its simply not possible to manufacture products domestically and remain profitable. Do people really think that $80 name brand shirts, $140 shoes, or the $2500 computers being made on the other side of the planet are being sold at a price anywhere near what it actually cost to make? C'mon.
Why is it every time a company moves manufacturing overseas, we never see a reduction in the price?
If Apple was just barely squeezing out a profit and scraping by, holding on by their fingernails, I'd buy their line about needing to manufacture practically everything overseas, but we're talking about a company that makes absolutely enormous profits.
So Apple simply can't afford to manufacture here anymore? Well, how much profit did Apple make last quarter, again? Haha, sure, right.

The 2.0 model also includes 4MB L2 cache instead of "just" 2MB L2 cache... remember the days when we used to measure L2 in increments of 256KB?
Yes, it drives people to buy the 2.0 model and YES it drives away the others that are not prepared to spend this extra 200$....

Quite obviously you are not the target audience in your Ford Escape.
The original conversation was in reference to someone who drove a V10 Excursion. A vehicle that weighs 8,000lbs.
The Excursion hasn't been in production for a few years. Of course the Expedition and Suburban are still around, but there are actually people who need those types of vehicles. I am a single person so an Escape is all the SUV I need, but if I was married and had 4 or 5 kids then an Expedition, Sequoia, Tahoe or Suburban might make sense. My point was let people buy what they want to buy according to their needs. I would feel silly in a full-sized SUV by myself, but if I had a large family or needed the hauling capacity it would make sense. I don't see a lot of single people without families driving around in Excursions, Expeditions or Suburbans. In fact, out of all the people I know I can't say I know one who has one of those vehicles and doesn't have a family. Now I know a few single people with F-150's, but then again this is South Dakota and people love their pickups.
I'm not even sure how the whole SUV driver thing in relation to where people shop got started. I am sure you there are plenty of very affluent people driving Escalades, Navigators, and Lexus full sized SUV's down to their local Apple store to buy an iPad so what does it matter?

When new products are released in a keynote like the one coming up, are they normally ready to ship?
It just depends. Motorola was notoriously slow at ramping up production of new chips. Consequently, Apple would release new hardware and buyers would have to wait 1-3 months to receive them. That has since improved since Apple got a lot of bad press from that practice. I'm guessing that you'll have to wait a couple weeks for conroe & woodcrest based systems and perhaps a month for merom.

Looks like nothing has changed but the processor. Gentlemen, commence your bitching.

However, due to the almost lack of changes in the MBP, why would the MB get any serious changes other than processor and memory bumps?

Except for the fact that Apple is not about to release an iPad 3 this year. They have absolutely no reason to.
June: Preview Lion and iOS 5.
July/August: Release Lion.
June-Sept: Updated iMacs.
Sept: Updated iPods.
Sept/Oct(even Jan): iPhone 5.
Spring 2012: iPad 3.
You really expect them to squeeze a new iPad into the fall. If anything you will see another Air update.

Those are some really nice specs, I am sorry if this has been answered before but do we know what Core 2 Duo they are? Conroe or Merom :confused:
The 1.83, 2.0, 2.16, and 2.33GHz clock speeds show that it is Merom, not Conroe. Conroe would be 1.86, 2.13 (2MB L2 cache), 2.40, 2.66 (4MB L2 cache), and 2.93 GHz (Core 2 Extreme)
Since the 24" model is at least prosumer, it would have been nice to see that one get a Conroe (Extreme even).
