  • Here's my theory as to why negotiations broke down: Obviously, the iPhone is the basis for the next iPod; however, we're all thinking that Apple is just going to strip out the phone functionality and add a hard drive (and perhaps add Apple TV int…
  • There's no reason the next iPod shouldn't have wifi built-in. That would allow it to have all the internet functionality - including e-mail. I would go further and have it integrate with Apple TV so a home user could stream from Apple TV to the new …
  • I live about 45 miles north of Manhattan. Up here, Verizon has the best coverage. I happen to work in Connecticut and take mostly back roads to avoid traffic. Again, Verizon has the best coverage along the route. I've had AT&T/Cingular as well a…

  • Microsoft has the cash to throw around. They are trying to buy mind share. They understand that it is unbelievably hard to compete with the iPod - just as they realized that XBox had a tough road up against the PS2. However, in a few short years, th…

  • Haven't noticed anything like that at all. I agree that you're the customer and you should be satisfied with your purchase. I would call Apple and see if they can help you. FWIW, the screen is so friggin' large that I never look at the chin. 8…

  • Quick follow-up: 1. The screen has some very, very slight dimming in the corners, but it's really not noticible. Frankly, the corners are out of your view on a 24" monitor if you're sitting at a normal distance from the screen. You'd only see the…

  • I got my 24" iMac yesterday and spent the evening getting it set up (software, transferring files, etc). The screen is just outstanding (as is the whole machine). I do a lot of photography and photo editing via Photoshop. I think the machine is unbe…
  • I've got my new 24" iMac and it is rockin'! I'm typing this message from the new machine all is working OK thus far. I have a ton of stuff to install and copy over from other HDs; however, I thought I'd drop by to show the love. This is such a…
