  • That looks like a nice cheapo device, but your thread title implies more than a simple education of the Mac community. What is AppleTV supposed to "take" from this? - Instead of automatic syncing, drag'n'drop'n'plug. Welcome to 1998. - 8 GB for …
  • I wonder just how distracting the translucent menus are. Any screenshots of those anywhere?

  • If it's anything like what the local store did with Tiger, it will go this way: None of their computers on the 26th will have it preinstalled yet. That'll take a few days. Those who buy a new Mac on the 26th (even before 6 pm) will get a "drop-in…
  • I don't think it will allow it any more than current hacks do. Apple has made it clear that there will be a certification process of some sort for iPhone/iPod Touch apps. Something tells me they won't certify a hacked Mail or Maps app.

  • You can select what drives, folders, and files to back up, and to which drives. A 1-gigabyte file will take *at least* 1 GB to back up, obviously. Changes to it will be saved incrementally, so the backup size for that file will depend on how far …
  • Where do you live? In the US, new Macs won't have Leopard pre-installed for a while, but you'll get a Leopard DVD with your new Mac (for free). Is there an official Leopard release date in your country? It's hard to say whether Leopard is a "must…
  • I often type on my iPhone with just my right thumb. It's slower than using two fingers, but it doesn't do what T9 does, i.e. make me feel insane. iPhone won't "join" text messages.
  • If I remember correctly, the deal specifies that Apple will: 1. Offer the current iPhone only through AT&T for 5 years from June, 2007 2. Not develop another GSM phone during the same time In practice, I think this means AT&T only for…
  • Right. All new Macs. How long do you think your Mac will be "new"? Technically, it wasn't "new" when you walked out of the store with it. Tiger is an excellent OS. You're not exactly left behind in the mud if you use it. Some are complaining h…
  • I believe you'll still be able to use Front Row, though you'll have to control it via the keyboard. Cmd+Esc is the shortcut for bringing up Front Row. The Mira software may let you use an IR receiver with a remote and Front Row, but I'm not sure…
  • It depends on your store's inventory, but it's very unlikely that they'll have any Leopard-installed machines on the 26th (or 27th, or 28th). You'll be given a "drop-in kit", i.e. a Leopard DVD. You're free to install it yourself, or you could have …
  • I have a long wishlist for the iPhone, but the very idea of going back to my old phone fills me with horror.
  • Because Steve has probably not listened to a radio station since 1983? Because there's no way for them to integrate radio into Apple's digital lifestyle picture? Because there are podcasts? I don't know, take your pick.
  • My Maxtor disk has 6.85% less available space than advertised. My Seagate disk, 7% less. The WD, 6.9%. The Toshiba laptop (from work, I didn't buy it, I swear!), 7% less. That's not including the OS on any of them. I guess I'll be busy prepari…
