Awww I'm getting a MacBook on the 21st of January, what if iLife 07 is announced on the 22nd ? :(
They'll likely slip an extra disc in the package and you'll install iLife '07 separately.

I'm too chicken to install it, just like the SMC firmware update for the fans. I've had no problems at all with my MacBook (purchased in May) so I know it will screw something up. I know nobody cares but for some reason I wanted to post it. :(

I can't believe how angry I am. I'm almost foaming at the mouth! The mothership is definitely under attack, and maybe even some babyships too!! Ships of all genders, ages and religions are under attack! Prepare for BATTLE!!
I think Apple should release a "Special Steve Announcement" immediately, just to calm me down.
:D :D :D
I finally cracked when I read this. I was wondering if anyone even remembers the bad old days.
At last, somebody who got it.
I was making fun of the days when every post related to Apple was a battle cry of this sort, and a plea to help "the Mothership." All non-believers were heathens. Being a Mac users then was surreal. You cannot say anything that remotely hinted at non-allegiance to Apple. If you think I'm exaggerating, go look for archived threads from 2000.
I was hoping somebody would get the reference. Glad I wasn't disappointed.
Back on topic: I don't really see the movie download business taking off. I want the DVD extras, and I don't think Apple will be giving them out.

If it turns out to be only a software issue I will eat my iPhone 4.
It is a hardware issue to all the people defending Apple (I am a fanboy by the way). Apple is adding an internal bumper into the iphone (or so it was reported). Why would they do this? Duh, it's a hardware issue. However, I am not sure what this will do as it happens when the outside of the antenna is touched.
The only way to solve this is issue is to give out free bumpers or cases to all iPhone 4 owners. Apple gave everyone a $100 "rebate" when they lowered the price of the first iPhone months after it was released.
And BTW the bumpers do nothing to protect the iPhone 4 from drops, now you know why they were created.
Look at it this way 1.7 million iPhones x $29.00 per bumper = $49,300,000. Thats an extra $49.3 million to make the iPhone 4 work as intended. This is piss poor business ethics.

I am still curious to know why you feel you are a 2nd class citizen in your own country; what makes you feel this way? That never got answered for me.
Could it be that he has to work for everything he has, but illegal immigrants get everything gratis, while their case awaits 'adjudication'?
Same thing happens here, in the frozen tundra.
I don't think the U.S. is even in the same ball-park, in this regard.

I am wishing for help and advice deciding what type of hardware to purchase for a 30TB server. It must meet the following requirements:
� 30TB RAID (Redundancy important for backup purposes)
One thing you should consider is that using a RAID array is not a backup strategy. A RAID array will help guard against a failed hard drive though at the expense of increased overall risk.
Individual hard drives have a probability of failure that is expressed as a "Mean Time Before Failure" (MTBF). Typically the MTBF for a hard drive is in the thousands of hours (eg MTBF = 500000 operation hours). With a single volume stored on one hard disk then the volume is dependent on a single hard drive so the MTBF for that volume is equal to the MTBF for the hard disk. With a volume stored on a RAID array the volume is dependent on some number of hard drives. With every additional drive in the RAID array the probability of a hard drive failure in the array increases.
With the right RAID levels you can guard against these hard drive failures and provide recoverability of the data. But being able to recover the data by rebuilding an array is not a backup strategy. RAID will also provide much faster average data rates than the bare storage media will provide. (This was the original motivation for developing RAID approaches.)
If you have 30TB of data that you care about then you might want to consider a backup strategy that will protect against:

I thought the human eye couldn't detect anything over 30 fps? :confused:
Old wives tale. I can easily tell the difference between 30 fps and 60 fps TV shows on my HDTV. (Well, my EyeTV hybrid anyway, since my physical TV is still SD.)
If something is rock-solid 30fps, it is generally 'good enough', but most games aren't a rock solid frame rate, they vary.

Despite "high hopes" for going green, the current reality of this is that about 45% of a U.S. Volt owners will be using a coal-powered car.
I don't think anybody here is arguing in support of Coal-fired power plants. We're just saying that this is another issue that needs to be addressed, but it would be foolish to wait for 100% renewable electricity before we start electrifying our fleet. A typical car spends 10-20 years on the road before it's retired. Even if every new car sold from today onwards were electric, it would take 20 years before we have a 100% electric fleet. Currently, expectations run from maybe 3-10% of the market (as in new car purchases) being electric (or at least plug-in) by 2020, depending on who you ask. Fleet electrification will be a very long process, and this can happen parallel with renewable electricity development.
Now, besides this argument, just looking at the current situation and ignoring future potential for improvements, you'll find that even a 100% coal-powered car is more efficient than an equivalent, efficient ICE car (not by a lot, but still better).
Cleanliness is another story, that depends on how you define it. CO2 goes hand in hand with efficiency, as its a direct product of fossil fuel combustion, so again, a 100% coal-powered plug in car is slightly better in this regard. The numbers I've run have shown that NOx and SO2 emissions actually go up with a 100% coal-powered plug in car vs a modern ICE. Those emissions have been drastically reduced in cars over the past 20 years to the point that they're actually quite clean. One thing to consider though is that in this case, these emissions cause local-scale problems, so displacing those emissions away from dense populations actually does help, at least in terms of urban air quality. SO2 can cause acid rain though, and that is maybe somewhere between a local, city-scale problem and a global problem. That said, I don't see why cleaning up coal power plants should be any less aggressive than cleaning up vehicle emissions has been in recent years.
Also, keep in mind that it's very difficult for the power supply from power plants to ramp up and down to meet demand, and as such, a lot of energy has to be burned off and wasted at night when demand is low. That's why some places charge a lot less for electricity at night. If most people use their car to get to work and simply charge up for 8 hours while they sleep, the overall emissions per kWh are reduced, and the numbers swing more in the favour of plug-in vehicles.

I believe, for a server, it offers much more. I think it has redundant power supplies, lights-out operation and includes Mac OS X server. Since you obviously don't need those things (since you see no value in them) I don't know why you would want one.
Keep in mind, other than OS X server, things like that redundant power supply are cost extra options.
For someone like me, I was thinking of purchasing 2 of these things, however, cost really is a factor for me here. My primary application is a render node for computer graphics. Problem is, for the price the XServe costs with 2GB memory and a 2.66GHz dual processor system, I can get a Boxx render node system with the a 3.0GHz configuration and OpenSUSE 10.1 for for less. As much as I would like this system, I'll have to pass for now until I am ready to put together a SAN.
EDIT: Heck, for the configuration I really want, it is over $1000 more for the XServe as opposed to the Boxx rendernode.
