Apparently there was AT&T iPad 2s available today. Did anyone pick one up?

Hmm, my title may be a bit misleading. I do understand Thunderbolt (I/o, 10 Gb's per sec, etc). However, some people have noticed the Thunderbolt port is the EXACT same as the mini display port. Whaddup with that? Does that mean, my old iMac with a mini display port is different than the coming iMac with a mini-display-port-renamed-thunderbolt? The ports are the same, it looks like they just renamed it.

I see you are back in full force. I have been avoiding the whole 6G thing since the performance of most multichannel cards with standard drives is fine. If you are running an array based on SSD drives then I can see the value at this time, but no mechanical drive is going to max out 3G (SATA II) at this time. BTW Nano, running an xserve now, made life so much easier. Have two Sans Digital SAS Chassis, 316X2, dual SAS connectors for 2400MB/S performance, and it has made dealing with raid simple. No more time out errors, no more hard drives dropping out, nothing. Not sure if plunking down $2500 per chassis is worth it but for me with no headaches it was.
Peace,

The 6Gb/s cards are still faster than their previous 3Gb/s counterparts with the same disks (i.e. 1680 series vs. 1880 series running the same firmware revision, v1.49). Moving to 6.0Gb/s has both marketing as well as performance implications though (particularly in the enterprise market as SLC based SSD's fall in price and hopefully become more prevalent). I would expect mechanicals that run 6.0Gb/s controllers will run faster as well, even though they can't saturate the interface (native = no shifting backwards for compatibility). For a new storage solution, it would be best to go ahead and get the 6.0Gb/s compliant gear (allows for future growth by only dealing with drives and enclosures, assuming the port count isn't under-planned).
So if the existing equipment will be sufficient through it's planned lifespan, there's no need to rush out and buy 6Gb/s gear.
As per the equipment you used, the ease of use is why it costs so much (the software was already loaded, configured <save user settings>, and tested with the hardware) . I'd recommend keeping it until it no longer meets your needs (gets the job done and doesn't waste funds = keeps boss happy and your job secure :D). ;)

I haven't seen any mini apple stores at the Best Buy in West Ashley or North Charleston. Have they added it since I last went in one?
Actually we do have a Saks 5th Avenue on King St.
I don't know if BB's in Charleston have been remodeled (moved from there 3.5 yrs ago :( ). They just finished the remodeling here in Savannah, and I have to say it is pretty nice. Just like a mini-Apple store (and I mean mini). Very clean and Apple-like. It oughtta be rocking this holiday season *buys more AAPL*.

No, alloc and release do not always occur in the same function. For example, one object creates another object (and stores a pointer to it) at init time...then at dealloc time, releases it. Very common.
To elaborate on this, imagine that you have an object of class Car that needs to access another object of class Wheel for Car's entire life span. You would want to create the Wheel when you create the Car, retain it. And then you release the Wheel when dealloc is called on the Car. Here would be init and dealloc for Class Car.

How about a used PowerBook 3400c and some amplified speakers? You should be able to get the whole setup for under $100. And the cool thing is you'll also be able to play Day of the Tentacle on it!

How much did you pay for it?
I ask as you can get an aluminum enclosure for about $12 from Rosewill that is far better than the one used on the Passport, and a Western Digital Scorpio Blue or Black, which are farrrrrr better drives in terms of reliability and speed. For $120, you can build a drive with a 750GB Scorpio Black, which IMO is the best HDD on the market that is reasonably priced, and many people here will testify to their quality and speed. Add 15-20 bucks and the enclosure can have FW as well as USB2. As much as I love WD, I HATE the Passports and have not been happy with their overall reliability.

The big news today as far as I can tell is that Steve went with a collared shirt instead of a mock neck; continues to shun belts.
I can't get excited about iPods. A 12" screened device that can play movies, CDs, DVDs, and run office software - yes, an ultraportable laptop would be useful.

Maybe you were thinking Performa - Apple's line of Macintosh that had AtEase preinstalled.
Good Call! You are right. I remember AtEase being used on my Performa 6400.

It's not me it's the dying man that makes the OS comparisons at every keynote. Well actually he only did when iOS was in a leading position...
The last Android vs. iOS comparison he made was something like: "We have 350k apps!". Well Android now has about 325k apps and grows by about 35k apps per month. I guess that comparison won't make it into his June keynote....
I imagine the millions of apps, and the fact that people actually buy apps on iOS (and almost not at all on Android) will be a large part of the keynote..
Go ahead an miss-quote the rovio ad revenue statement now, that is the next line on the list of Android talking points.
P.S. You are pretty classes, even for an Android fan.

I hope not it's not like the iPhone where the Verizon version would not only get updates later, but jailbreaks as well.
That's what I'm afraid of and I haven't seen it discussed anywhere.

i haven't tried this yet, but if it's true, i'm basically the happiest person ever.
I just confirmed with my Beethoven Symphony 5 3rd to 4th movement gapless playback works. I had already ripped my CD as Apple lossless. I did not have to rerip it. The first time iTunes ran, it analyzed my music for gapless playback. Great!!

Good point - however, a 'top secret' virtual machine inside leopard would mean they have wasted their money.
Does anyone really give a toss about Virtual PC being dead? It was pretty crap anyway.

Any hard drive will work, you can format it to OS X compatible format in Disk Utility. You can create exFAT or NTFS partition for Windows if you need to use it as well.
Do you want capacity or portability? 2.5" drives require no external power supply which makes them better with laptops since they are plug&play. However, they cost a bit more and most top out at 750GB or 1TB (Seagate has 1.5TB though).

Ok since AT&T is cracking down on free tethering via MyWi, Pdanet, or TetherMe, Developers are trying to be stealthy about it.
The way you can test if these apps are hidden from AT&T is to actually purchase the metered tethering plan for one month
Then install PdaNet and see if it shows up on your bill.
Doesnt work.
People that used the latest PdaNet still got the notice.
