Never said I was Gandhi. My point is valid nonetheless.
There is only a finite amount of water available within the Earth ecosystem an only a percentage of that is available for drinking at any given time. A far greater volume is used for agriculture to grow food for human consumption.
We could all sell our iPhones and Macs right now and donate the cash to a charity of your nomination but it wouldn't change the volume of water available within the Earth ecosystem.
The problem isn't wasteful spending of money. The problem is that Earth does not have enough water to support 7 billion human mouths.
Are these white iPhones genuine. Thought Foxconn would just eliminate employees who stole.

I was watching AOTS (Attack of The Show) and they said in the next 5 years DVD sales will go down because of movies on demand on cable, and online. I think so too.

Oh my, what a conundrum for the fan boys. On one hand, CR loves the iPad and Apple's customer service but on the other hand, we have the iPhone 4. :D

It's not the first time that the Vietnamese got their hands on an unreleased iPhone. The question is why? It's not like that Vietnam has anything to do with anything.
These guys, from what i've seen from them so far, are quite reliable.
IMO, maybe anonymity purposes?
If it's in the Chinese hand then it's probably the hardware mfgr's leak.
If the US then employee's leak.
I guess he's like the shop front, but with an unknown supplier. :rolleyes:
EDIT: Oh oh, more visible example: He's like a proxy server. lol.

Umm. Doesn't my cellphone already have a unique identify number that it comuncates with my carrier while it is switched on and tells them where I am within the cell network. (And with the GPS chip I can be pin-pointed withing a couple of meters).
Ummm... I wonder..... Does Apple track when ever a iPhone onwer enters a Apple Store, Or Wallmart? They have the technology.

^ Right now I'd go for a PS3 since I prefer the exclusives for that over the Xbox. You won't go wrong with either though. Sports titles (at least the very popular ones) are always multiplatform. Online play is better on the Xbox though you have to pay a subscription for it. The new Xbox has built in Wifi.
That's pretty much it in a nutshell!
I'll take up the other position and say go for the 360. I really recommend it if you are a big FPS online player. The 360s success has been primarily built on first person shooters, and it isn't going to stop anytime soon. With it getting Halo Reach this year exclusively, Gears 3 next year, and it gets the dlc packs for Call of Duty first, Microsoft knows where it's hardcore fans lie.
The online play is the star with the 360, and now PS3 will be joining the ranks with their pay system. Live really is worth the $50. You can also do like many of us and check Amazon where you can often get Live memberships for $35, or $50 with extras thrown in like extra controllers and headsets. On Live itself they have been offering all kinds of discounts on the service the past few months. Signing up with a free silver account will let you take a look and decide for yourself.
My Elite did go belly up a few months ago, was without it for 1.5 - 2 weeks, and got one back for free. I have no complaints, though if it does die again, maybe the excuse for the new design. Also as much as the RRoD rightfully became the big issue, it has calmed down a little bit, and PS3 had it's own yellow light of death for a few, not including occasional brickings for older systems whenever a new update came out. Not even close to the 360 issues, but for some problems did occur.
I have a 60gb PS3, love the BW compatibility, but other than that, I tend to lean more towards my 360. I have a Blu Ray player so I don't use the PS3 for that, and like the previous poster stated the new 360s finally come with wi fi.

Whilst it's good to see Apple gaining some market share there is a part of me that does not want them to gain too much. I worry that if they ever become mass market that they will lose some of their uniqueness.

Thanks for the great ideas ... I like the idea of using Chronosync to sync both machines on the same network ... might give that a shot. Currently using Dropbox as a usb drive replacement.

The military and the Army has had a "dialogue" with Apple for years... pretty much every project involving a piece of field equipment has gone to another manufacturer because of durability concerns.

It's up to innovative schools to decide whether, and how, iPads have a role in schools. They might have good uses in classrooms, libraries, labs, reading clubs, alongside computers, instead of computers, or who knows.
Oh FFS, c'mon. No they're not. It's a locked-down, uni-tasking, big-ass ipod. Kids are gonna be carrying round something similar in their pockets. Computing isn't the amazing thing it was to us as kids, youths take this **** for granted so a big reader/web browser will interest them for literally seconds. Try and impart some intelligence on this argument cos so far I still haven't heard a good reason for the ipad's existence.

This is going to be great, absolutely, but forget to pay only a $99 premium for this feature. TVs with Internet access and AirPlay capabilities are going to be overpriced for a couple years. Then the technology will either have failed and retired from TVs or it will be in every or so TV. Now I just wish I could have a cheap audio AirPlay receiver to connect my speakers to ($40 anyone?)

I disagree. Europe has public transportation that is centuries ahead of the USA. Gas is $3.79 here in mid Missouri.
"Ahead" in what terms? Sure, public transport is used considerably more in Europe than in the US. Reason? Gas prices (oh yes, and the fact that you can't get a parking space in the big cities just makes it more convenient).
But is the actual infrastructure worse? From a european point of view, that is hard to believe.

Do you mean "whilst" the update is happening the fans run at full speed, or after the update applys your fans are stupidly loud? :confused:
With a pending order of the mac pro, the last thing I wanna go through is powermac G5 fan hell again......
yeah, just during the update, they blast off for about 10 seconds, it actually sounds like a small airplane taking off (thankfully my mac pro is secured between my desk and the wall :) )
but NO, the fans are not loud all the time now, they sound just fine, but after the update (according to temperature monitor) they are about 10 degrees F cooler now at idle
