I'm not sure what part of my post implies that I think this issue is of no concern. I am skeptical, however, that the poster I was replying to will actually find many "fun" ways to exploit it.I'm sorry for my mistaken interpretation.
Perhaps we should help Antares by thinking of new and inventive ways to use this tracking ability. They don't have to be evil purposes.
For example, it would come in handy when planning a surprise party. "The sensor at the gate has been tripped - everybody needs to take their hiding places!"
Or it could be used to track shoes stolen at the gym. When you come running out of the building saying "which way did the thief go?", somebody who routinely tracks everyone near that building would be able to say "they went thataway!"
Or how 'bout a customer recognition system at the shoe store? When a customer walks in wearing transmitting Nikes, the store clerk can check if they are a repeat customer, see a display of their name, and say "Hi, Mr. Smith. Welcome back!" with a big smile. That could help make another sale. If their shoe ID wasn't already in the computer when the customer made a purchase, they would note it for the next time.

No word on Garageband?
They probably don't want you to make music or burn it to dvds anymore- just buy stuff on their itunes store.
Without idvd or garageband, it's a useless upgrade for me.

Prior Art: MacNTouch (http://www.fingerworks.com/MacNTouch_product.html)
Okay, so it doesn't have the "physical/tactile controls" over the touch-sensitive pad, but it is one giant touch-sensitive pad.
Yeah, that's prior art that now belongs to Apple. A lot of this patent activity seems to be an investigation into ways of exploiting that.

Alright, so after rereading all the posts in this thread, I just wanna clear one thing up that I'm still confused about - streaming recorded shows works over both wifi and 3g, bu streaming live tv only (officially) happens over wifi, right? And it will work on any wifi network, not just the one that your eyetv device is on? Finally, has anyone tried streaming live tv over 3g by using
a jailbroken phone?
I've downloaded the app and would try doing all those things myself, but I can't get it to connect, as I have not validated my "my eyetv" account. How does one validate said account, anyways?? I've gotten no emails and can't seem to find that as an option.

Intel's diagram shows a PCIe x4 link to the TBolt controller, and two TBolt ports coming from it - obviously sharing the bandwidth of the x4 link.
Intel also says that other configs are possible (in fact, the diagram shows it connected to a PCIe x4 link from the PCH, when we know that Apple on the MBP splits the x16 link going from the processor to the dGFX, and runs the dGFX on x8 and TBolt on x4, leaving an x4 link free).
If the TBolt controller can have an x8 input - no bandwidth sharing. If only x4, then sharing or you'd need two controllers.
Intel's website only has marketing material for TBolt - no specs or engineering information.
I'd just like to see this MBP diagram updated for the Imacs:

I guess the main question is whether 27" iMac has two separate TB controllers or one controller which supports two ports. Are there any good teardowns of the 27" yet?
How many display port connections can be had (I know technically the Radeon cards can do 6)? I would imagine to do something other than display mirroring would require separate DPs (or usage of DP 1.2).
All we need is someone with a iMac to post up their System Profiler page showing the connection of the GPU/TB.
Up to four 1920x1200 monitors or two 2560x1600 monitors, otherwise you will need more than 20Gb/s of bandwidth which is the maximum what two TB ports can provide. One TB port can support up to 7 devices.

In a way this makes the iPhone cheaper, seeing how I will save on a GPS device :cool:. Although right now iPhones tell me to drive into buildings in my city, so a revamp of the whole thing is always good.

Because so much of the cost of a computer is the cost of the CPU? Of course not. Everyone can see there's more to an iMac than just the CPU.
Scrolling through some of your previous posts, I have to wonder why you bother with this site, you're never going to see something you like.
While the Mac is more the sum of its parts, lilo is perfectly right with his assertion. Apple doesn�t want transparency that detracts from whatever they preach. Nevertheless top product though somewhat underspecced for 2k.
180 markup for i7 upgrade? Plzzzz

Nice idea, obviously very customisable, but for repetitive stuff in the hands of an experienced operator...don't you just become a touch typist?

This is an interesting ban. I don't personally like those veils, as they represent a cultural institutionalized form of discrimination and control over women (granted, it seems that some women wear them voluntarily for reasons unknown to me). However, nothing ever gets better if you start alienating these cultures this way.
I do see their point. If a man walked around with something that covered everything but their eyes, people would be suspicious.
EDIT: CalBoy said it better than me.

$480 elite + $100 wireless + $200 HD-DVD drive = $780 for the full 360 experience.
I didn't add the HD-DVD to my calculations in the post above yours because it's technically not needed to play games. That's why it'll be a tough choice for the consumer. You can spend just $20 more to get something that plays games and functions as an HD movie player. Adding an HD-DVD drive obviously tilts the scale well into the PS3s favor.
MS could be stomping Sony right now if they were willing to lose as much money per console sold. I would guess that decreased manufacture costs have MS making a respectable amount from each console sold. And then of course it's "rape time" on the accessories.

USB sticks for one. Thats how I've been re-installing the OS for a year or two.
I specifically mentioned Final Cut since all the installation files takes up something like 40 gigs - kinda big don�t you think?

A real problem (for some), but yes, it has been misstated and sensationalized in the press (just as Apple has themselves minimized it).
FWIW, I’ve been testing mine, and, holding it “that way” (even lightly) will sometimes, in some places (not all that rare) cause several bars to drop on the meter. And sometimes not.
But even when I’m getting one measly bar, I’m able to hold a call without dropping, and good quality, and use 3G Internet at the same time. In fact, I saw bars dropping and squeezed hard, then walked around the “bad spot” trying to make the connection drop. I couldn’t—Google Maps kept streaming and the call kept going.
So I agree with reports that when bars are low, the iPhone 4 acts the same as an earlier phone with more bars. A BETTER antenna design—but not in every way.
(Of course, with the new meter we’ll all be seeing less bars. Having my calls work is what I care about though. And my iPhone 4 has done great at that so far.)
While you're waiting for Apple to come up with a fix (if ever they come up with one), why don't you hold it in a way so it doesn't drop your calls...
People change their grip by habit, with their mind on the call, not on babying the phone. New habits take time before they’re 100%. I notice myself holding my phone all KINDS of ways—it’s not on purpose. And shouldn’t have to be—but any phone has spots where holding it a certain way matters, and the iPhone 4 probably more so than most.

well sure iphone 5..... I will buy it too, no doubt.
but then I think iphone 4 is powerful enough to hold a lot of those "dual core" phones for another 6 months or so...........
look at how HTC is pumping up new phones all the time
yet I still love the iphone more..........
(though I think I need to switch my iphone 4 batteries soon... especially after jailbreaking... it's sucking the juice fast!!!!)
WHAT I WANT IS IPAD 3 with RETINA DISPLAY!!!!!!

rape is a good point ..i mean thats the reason some argue when they debate against this anti veil law , to protect the women from preying eyes , ok i agree to a extend ...some women should be forced to wear a Burka from a certain weight on instead of tight biking shorts and belly free tops ..but thats more a matter of taste ;)
i mean some US states have laws how much of the bum a bikini worn by a women at the beach has to cover up... and nobody is protesting against that or?
some or most south american countries made the opposite laws to prevent rape , rape is unpunished there if the victim gets married by her rapist after the rape
but thats how christians should deal with such matter if they follow the bible
" If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives" (Deut. 22:28-30)
the Qur'an is a bit more protective in that matter
"And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses (to support their allegations)- Flog them with eighty stripes; and reject their evidence ever after: for such men are wicked transgressors" (Quran 24:4)
i mean nothing agains a women to cover her head with a headscarf , some western women wear headscarfes too , ok mostly to protect the hairsstyle when its windy , but nonetheless they wear one the reason does not matter

I'd be all for something like this. Normal 3D displays are useless to me, I have an eye condition that doesn't allow me to see 3D. So I should at least have SOME 3D fun.
I'll second that. I am also what they now call as having "3D Blindness" where I cannot see 3D effect with glasses. This may prove to be the better way to provide 3D effect where "everyone" can experience it. Current 3D tech using glasses leaves out a good percentage of the population. Plus, no need for glasses is an advantage in itself.

Many folks on this forum seem to use and rely on iDVD. I'm in that group.
I know that the world is much larger than this forum, and therefore the percentage of iDVD users to all Mac users is in fact very small. But...
If Apple does drop iDVD it will be another example of blantant disregard for customer's requests.
This may be obvious for many, but for me, it will be the final confirmation that Apple has moved on from the "digital hub" strategy of 1998 - 2007.
Remember when they made all this cool software to help sell Macs? With iPhone and iPad success this is simply not required any more.
