Walmart is as dictatorial as their Communist buddies over there in China. That red star in their logo is there for a reason!

Now they have "Toys" for grown-ups too.
You're taking this all far too personally.
Didn't think iPad had uses as an adult toy and they sold those at Toys r us :D
Personally? Could not care less either way.

I'm pretty surprised by coverage of these stories so far.
It's basically
Exploding DELL & APPLE batteries, manufactured by sony.
It really should be
SONY, who can't even build batteries worth a **** anymore let alone anything else, has screwed the pooch for Dell and Apple.

IMHO, this isn't an issue of Wal-Mart feeling 'threatened" at this point. Rather, it's one of many early indicators you're going to see of digital movie distribution overtaking/eclipsing physical DVD movie sales.
The future is online movie distribution. People think devices like Tivo are "groundbreaking" because they give TV viewers a new level of control over when and what they want to watch. But ultimately, these devices are little more than work-arounds for an outmoded delivery system. (It makes little sense to pipe 100 channels of streaming content, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to every subscriber - forcing them to do the work on their end of sifting through it to watch the segments they're personally interested in.) By the same token, this outdated system helps drive physical DVD sales - because again, consumers feel like the only way they ultimately have control over the ability to watch and re-watch a specific, favorite movie of theirs is to buy a copy of the thing and keep it on their shelf!
When you look at the "big picture" - the only reason stores like Wal-Mart are still so successful in *both* music and movie sales is because digital distribution still hasn't matured enough yet. (EG. It requires a computer, a fast Internet connection, AND a lot of knowledge.) John Q. Public knows he can buy a DVD movie at Wal-Mart, throw it in his $30 DVD player he probably also bought at Wal-Mart a while ago, and watch the movie. No monthly broadband Inet bills or computer knowledge necessary.
But this can and will change. Cable companies and other broadband Inet providers are looking at the future. It's only a matter of time before they leverage the "set top converter boxes" to deliver all of this to people with no more knowledge required than ability to work a remote control and read the prompts on the TV screen.
Apple is simply an "early adopter" of things to come, and THAT is what should scare Wal-Mart.
How could Wal Mart feel threatened by anything.
They are more powerful than most countries.
the ITMS has been kickin in full swing for years now, and Wal Mart still leads in CD sales, and music distribution by a long shot.
I hope this goes really public and gets exposed through the media, so everyone knows what WM is trying to do.
I would have loved to hear the phone call between Jobs and Lee.

~Shard~ my jaw dropped when iLounge first reported the nano was 52% smaller in volume. Too bad it wasn't true, because then I would have had to get one!
You're not alone on that one! ;) :D My Engineer brain was trying to compute how that would even be possible, and to no avail... ;)

Even though I'm in the market for one, I don't mind this. The longer it stretches out, the higher the chances that we'll see a significant upgrade in some unforeseen dimension. I'd prefer waiting a bit and getting something awesome in the feature set than getting the incremental update we've all been expecting since the first of the year.
USB 3.0 :o
Personally I don't see the point of buying the MBP when it's updated if it doesn't have USB 3. Why only go half way? Like Core2Duo, USB 2 is outdated and USB 3 has been out on the PC market for some time, and as a power user it'll mean a lot to me in the future. So I wouldn't buy into this new generation of CPUs if it doesn't have the new generation of portable storage controllers.
If Apple announce i7 with USB 3 next week I'll be the first in line. If not, I'll wait 6 months for the next refresh. Seems to make sense compared to being stuck with USB2 for years to come, just like C2D now.

So I guess then if there are no new products, why does the screen on the MBP seem so much taller than the actual cpu. Look at the picture where it is turned sideways...
It may just be me, but I dont recall the MBP having an inch of screen hanging over the CPU.

Don't you have to pay a restocking fee, even if you're within the 14-day return period?
More than likely, but that doesn't bother me. I don't mind spending a little extra and causing myself a bit of hassle if it means I can get the supposed 23" iMac.

If you think about it, it's not all too surprising that some of these "professionals" are getting so worked up and sulky over this release. The notion that "pro editing" can belong to just about anyone, rather than an exclusive circle of elites, poses an existential crisis. Apple's re-thinking of editing is also a re-thinking of what it means to be "professional". The announcement sheds light on a future in which their "advanced", learned techniques are no longer advantageous. The "industry pros" are facing the plight of impending impotence. It's not something anyone would really openly admit, but I think they're feeling a bit naked, stripped of their status.
Who can blame them for being pissy?being one of them, I can honestly say were just a bunch of jaded ***** ;)
Yea this is old news to me. I was there when FCP first came out and the Premiere/Media100 folks were in a tiff about Apple getting to close to the mid-range cause then Avid was around 100k for a turn-key system.
its old news, everyone likes to complain.
I was at the SuperMeet still fresh from hearing Avid and Kevin Smith lovefest.
I did not see that demo coming ;)
I was floored and cant wait to see what the future holds for all interfaces.
Please folks get off the iMovie already.
This new GUI reminds me of a lot of older/newer higher-end apps such as Resolve, Composer (SGI sad answer to After Effects), etc...
Its not iMovie unless you treat it like iMovie :P

I just downloaded the update, it told me something failed and I need to restore my iPhone. I am on try 3 and it is still failing every time it tries to restore. It's giving me error code 1013. I would stay away from this update for at least a day or two until others give feedback. It doesn't seem to be that critical of an update anyways.
Same thing happened to me... I had to use Tiny Umbrella to kick it out of recovery mode and then it was fine.

In other news, the Dell recall will cost Sony up to $430m. If all batteries are going at the same rate, Apple & Dell could cost Sony $619m. Add in what Sony will lose on its own machines...I'm guessing close to $1b. That would wipe out almost an entire year of profits (estimated at 130b Yen or $1,116,119,303). They may be screwed.

Specifically addressed after the main demo.
No upgrade pricing, versions, etc.; one price, from the app store. Period.
Considering the current FCS price...
I would be shocked if there wasn't a Studio bundle though... they do it for iLife and iWorks, even making some software exclusive to the iLife Bundle (iWeb for example).
Though the App Store would probably be much better for fighting piracy.

Shouldn't the Conroe CPUs run at higher frequencies than the CPUs used in the iMacs?
Yup. PC's will be running faster, cheaper and slightly more powerful (per clock) chips. :confused:

The only thing Wal-Mart CAN do is lower
their prices to undercut online distributors
even more. And maybe realize that DVDs
are nicer than downloaded movies.
A lot of the people who shop at wal-mart
don't have high speed internet anyway.
I don't. I'll keep buying my movies from
Blockbuster, BestBuy, and Wal-Mart until
I am able to get them online.

Hi...do you think this upgrade will solve the ramdon MB crash problems? Or do you think, as someone told me yesterday, that this problems might be already be solved?
They were solved already with the last firmware update...and we're gonna have new MBs until next Tuesday, I am pretty sure.
