Launch FIRST abroad? Nope. That itself voids the entire "rumor."
When has Apple launched a flagship product abroad BEFORE launching it in the States?
It doesn't say Korea first. It says Korea will be simultaneous with U.S. launch.

Ah, ok... money seems to be the reason why you would think the Mini... but what if the OP could get a dual core 2.3 for like 250.00 on ebay w/the following:
Dual core 2.3 PowerPC G5
16GB of DDR2 PC2-4200 Memory
2x320GB SATA Hard drives
18x Superdrive
Fully loaded with Mac OS X 10.5.8
Original software/restore discs + manual + box.
Nvidia Geforce 6800
for like 250.00 - would that be a good deal for the OP? I think the Quads are also nice, but you have the risk of it possibly leaking later on.. though when I acquired my G5 Quad two years ago from a recycling company in NY for 1000.00 dollars(I was on a G4 MDD at this point), Apple confirmed that the G5 Quad I got had the "Better" quality grade LCS, and not the DELPHI which plaugued the Early 2005 dual 2.7 and dual 2.5 OF 2004.
I think the dual core 2.3 is a good deal at 250.00 - do you agree?
Yes, that looks like a steal @ $250.

OK, I have figured out the my Eyetv confusion that I had earlier - evidently it wasn't working because I still had a titan TV account from when I first got the device. Anywho, everything is working almost wonderfully! I am able to connect on multiple wifi networks....EXCEPT for the fact that there is no sound. No matter what I do - on my home network or on my friend's - I cannot get sound delivered to the iPhone. The phone's other system sounds work fine, so I know it's not something else. I have already tried deleting and reinstalling too. Additionally, I do sometimes drop sound with my mac's Eyetv and have to quit and restart the application to get it back - does anybody have any idea if that's related somehow?
I'm so confused :confused::confused:

The microsoft marketing guy says that the parts will be the same except for the bigger hd and hdmi output... So I guess that means it will still be as noisy and likely to break as the current models.
And that means I'm keeping my x360 pro.

Then let me revise my statement and say this is why other media should attempt to independently verify their sources and then add a dash of common sense.
Gruber specifically explains that any confirmed info is in his actual posts.
Any guesses or unconfirmed news is in his footnotes.
People make a lot of guesses and this was a good guess I believe.

But the damn site is all voluntary, no real authority.
So? Fact remains, that according to independent studies, Wikipedia is very accurate. Do you think that you can only do a good job when you are paid to do so?
People could change something on less looked at articles and nobody'd no the difference!
nobody would know the difference? Hardly
My sister's professors do not allow their students to you Wikipedia!
That's their choice. It still does not change he fact that according to independent studies, Wikipedia is very accurate. At this point I gues that you will just close your eyes, cover your ears and shout "LALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!". But that does not change the FACTS.
Just because something's longer doesn't mean it's bettter!
Am I speaking latin here or something? Let me repeat what I have said: According to independent studies, Wikipedia is very accurate. Meaning: There are very few errors in the entries in Wikipedia. IN ADDITION TO THAT, Wikipedia has longer articles (on average) than Britannica (for example) does. I have NOT said "Wikipedia is better because the articles are longer". I have said that "Articles in Wikipedia are very accurate AND the are on average longer than ones in Britannica". Longer articles means that they have more information than shorter articles do.
Suppose that you were looking for information about string theory (for example). Would you prefer an article on the subject that consist of one paragraph, or one that consists of twelwe paragraphs?
If you've ever used Encyclopaedia Brittanica or the World Book, the authors are pros on the subject, not just some bum that's obcessed with Google!
What makes you think that authors in Wikipedia are "bums"? What makes you think that they are not experts in their field?
You obviously have an axe to grind when it comes to Wikipedia. I haven't seen any reason why you should call the wikipediaistas "bums". So what is your problem here?

Jobs: "You don't need to see the internet or make calls. These aren't the Droids you've been looking for."
iSheep: "Move along."
I love the Star Wars reference!!
And I too am not an iSheep. I have a MacBook Pro and love it...am also holding out for the next iMac but I will not get suckered into purchasing a flawed iPhone just because it is an iPhone.
Speaking of Droids...that might be my next phone. I am waiting to see what happens in a few hours. Will it be honest truth about the problem or more Jedi Mind Tricks for the masses?

So some one can find you by your shoe transmitter if they are up to 60 feet away and know where to aim the antenna. Seem t be you'd have to have a pretty good idea of there to look or the shoe transmitter detecter is not going to be of much use.
In another story, we have just determined that your car has a unique identifier attached. It is in the form of a painted metal plate with embossed and painted numbers. These numbers uniquely identified the car and likely the driver too. They can be read without specialized equipment form as for as 50 feet and with simple optical aids (binoculars) from as for as 100 years. Seems like a huge security risk if you ask me.

I'm really puzzled what you people see good at this. This is pure *****.
Apple took the best small flash-based player in the world and made it the worst. With direct USB plug, you had amazing portability, still had MP3 player and good take it wheever you want. I regularly used to transfer small files from/to work, exchange files with friends etc.
With this, I would need to carry that stupid dock as well. :mad:
So it still has no screen at all, now has no USB as well, but it has the hinge. Wow.
The worst piece of "design" ever offered by Apple. Probably designed by a person that never actually used Shuffle in real life.
I'm really puzzled why anyone would see this as pure ****. I use the shuffle regularly for listening to music while I exercise. Love it. This update makes it even better. I can just clip it on. (never liked the lanyard myself, although I can imagine someone else liking it...) I keep it in my gym bag.
When I need to "shuffle" files, I simply use my flash drive that I keep in my briefcase. That way everything is where I need it when I use it.
Can't wait to order one -- I'll give my shuffle to one of my boys...
See 'ya!

From the article: "His company�s device only comes onto the market shortly before then and would benefit hugely because the new iPod would sport a screen that filled the full side of the device and consequently offer higher resolution video."
Any guess what that device is?

I, for one, have been rolling with the iphone 3G ( not 3Gs) since close to it's release. My contract came up in October and I was hoping for a spring/summer release of iphone5 in order to reup to a better contract and better phone... Considering that September is a speculative date and I'm pretty tired of my month to month plan, I might just call it and get this one.

I don't think it would be a surprise to anyone to hear there's a generous mark-up on Apple products. It's for the consumer to decide if that's worth paying for or not. There are market forces after all, if it was too expensive, not enough people would buy them - but that doesn't seem to be a problem they're having at the moment.
Still, they are more than the sum of their parts, other companies are free to pick those parts off the shelf and put together something the same or better than the iMac for less. None of the competitors have impressed me with their attempts so far though. I'd be interested to see the cost of the 27" IPS display as well, doesn't strike me as a bargain bucket component.
It's not a bargain. Dell UltraSharp U2711 is a 27" monitor with exactly the same panel as iMac. Costs - $950. And given that monitor tech is not progressing anywhere near as fast as CPUs and other components (so it makes sense to keep these nice monitors for 5...8 years), to me, buying all-in-one computer makes no sense.

There was a mention of it tapping into the technologies already in Snow Leopard as part of the demo, so I would expect it to run on at least 10.6. Forcing everyone to upgrade to Lion in order to use FCPX doesn't seem at all likely.
Yes, FCPX is using tech already existing in SL, but we don't know what new underlying tech it uses. For instance, one thing they didn't mention is anything about QuickTime. Some expect that they using the AVFoundation framework being introduced to Lion. If so, they would have to bake it into FCPX to allow installation on SL, or supply an upgrade to SL with this new functionality, likely as part of a ProKit Update via Software Update. The simpler solution, especially for maintenance, is simply to require you to upgrade to Lion which will have AVFoundation, not to mention, other new tech.
The reason I'm not 100% behind requiring Lion is because asking so many to upgrade from SL seems a bit extreme to me too. It would slow down adoption of FCPX because so many users can't quickly move forward when they depend on other software & hardware. Still, I wouldn't put that requirement past Apple.
EDIT: In this video (http://vimeo.com/22329493) at about 4:14 the guy says 'leveraging the best of Snow Leopard'. That is an indicator that SL will be supported.

From my experience with CF it is a very strong and light-weight material but I doubt it would be a good idea to replace something like the glass backside of the iphone with carbon fiber as it is prone to damage when pressure is applied to a very limited area (think of iphone + keys in your pocket)
For example cf-bikes are great until you have anything but a minor crash...the even the smallest crack can be devestating to the structural integrity...

How many iPods in the US are actually sold in Apple Stores?
We in Holland have "Apple Centres" (look similar to Apple Stores, but are not owned by Apple), and they ofcourse sell iPods. In theory there is no difference in the iPod's halo-effect IF they are bought in a US-Apple Store, or a Dutch Apple Retailer's Stores. Consumers buy iPods while surrounded by great Apple computers.
Trouble is, that most iPods sold are bought in places like Dixons, or other large consumer-electronics store. No halo-effect, 'cause there are no Macs, and if there were any, hardly any salesperson knows enough about them to actually try to push the sales of Macs.
Is that any different in the US? Do the iPod-buyers actually go to an Apple Store to get one? I'm sure the closest consumer-elcetronics store would be much more convenient.
IMHO, it still is a marketing issue. Mac-ads on Dutch TV?? Most people don't even know Apple make the iPods! (:eek: ) If they see an iMac, some even call it the "iPod-computer", but have no idea it can do stuff their PC can do too.
One of the best quotes I have heard: "Wow.... you can get iTunes on your... eh... Apple-computer?"
