Come on guys!
Apple is not doing this for the first time! They know exactly what they are doing by maintaining a healthy level of tension regarding stock, shipping, etc. It's all part of the game!

Just weight an MBA 13, and figure out why it weighs more and costs more.
And if you shrunk the bezel while still using a standard sized display (same cost), the keyboard would stick out the sides, which would look pretty whacky.
I was pretty clear that I wanted a bezel shrink to accommodate a larger screen not to have a smaller laptop.

Very well stated. You'll notice that very few posts in the forum are riding the fence. They either see very clearly that a felony was committed, or they see that Apple is an evil monolithic empire, kicking down 'the little guy.'
This is called moral relativism... where everything is 'relative' unless it happens to you - then it becomes a big deal and a reason to be indignant. Those who are claiming they now see Apple as the new Microsoft are delusional. They think they hate big business, but are too delusional to realize how they benefit from big business. There are corrupt companies out there, but many choose to throw out the baby w/ the bath water. They align themselves ideologically with the likes of Che Guerva and his ilk, who would not and could not deliver an innovative device like an iPhone at a price for the common man, and then demonize the company that brings them the products they cannot get enough of.
It's hypocrisy that has gone into hyperdrive.
Yeah, keep in mind this is all over a phone. An expensive toy for grownups.
Missing kids and amber alerts don't get this kind of attention unless there is a particularly "sensational" aspect to it.
Let's keep this in perspective.

Some reading for citizenzen:

From the us government travel page, advising visitors to Saudi Arabia that the country is under Islamic law and foreigners have been arrested for not dressing properly.
What's your wise-ass answer to that? I hope it includes a smiley!!!

I really do not get this either - so I can back up my media files to Apples servers?
I have a macbook pro, iphone, ipad and we have a family iMac my music collection is stored on all of these and a time capsule why would I want to store it all again in a (often) inaccessible place?
I am a UK user and I subscribe to Spotify and it has its glitches (and annoyingly some content holes) but it is fantastic! I cannot believe that Apple would not be going down this route at some point.
or
Maybe Apple want to extend the social networking aspect of its business, maybe you could 'lend' cloud stored content to friends? just like we used to borrow LPs of our friends for the weekend etc? I think this is way they might be going with this.

Britain is the second largest mobile phone market on Earth. The US is what, the 5th? They'd better cater of Japan, Korea and Britain or it's game over.
Really? Britiain is larger than the US? I'm not saying you are wrong by any means, but that really suprises me. Just by population alone I would have thought the US would be larger.

You don't get it. In 2010 they presented iOS 4 in april and released soon after WWDC. Now they say that at WWDC they are going to present the "FUTURE" of iOS.
So they definitely will not release iOS 5 at WWDC.

Sooo...you don't see any problems that would occur if muslims became a majority there? Such as Iran part 2, sharia law. There's nothing racist about wanting israel to not become a muslim country. They wanted to partition it, but the palestinians wouldn't take that offer. they could have had their own "peaceful" nation by now. The chose not to, now they can deal with it. Let me ask you, would you consider yourself racist if muslims began playing a major role in canadian politics and imposing Islamic law on all canadians and you had a problem with it? Israel today is a modern secular nation, it is know as a "jewish" state, but their laws are secular. Why would they want to risk ruining all of that? They've made a great country out of the hell hole that land once was. You need to look at it from their POV. If the palestinians were peaceful secularists, there would be no problem right now.
Who said anything about a Muslim state? Please don't spin the topic.
It doesn't matter if the Palestinians were majority Christian, Muslim, Atheists, Spanish, Chinese etc... this solution would still not be possible because the fundamentalist Jews want it for Jews. They are "Jewish only" settlements for a reason. Even if the Palestinians were peaceful secularists (no doubt many are), Israel would still not allow a large influx of non-Jews because it would clash with the ideology upon which Israel was founded. This applies to everyone from Gazans wanting to become Israeli citizens to foreign workers from all over the world who work in Israel.
You can never compare Israel to countries like Canada or the US. In the latter countries, everyone regardless of religion or creed has equal rights and is equal under the law, whereas in the former, people of a certain religion are favoured, seen as superior. They are polar opposite ideologies. The Israelis have excellent PR, but at its core their ideology is not compatible with anything we here in the west consider modern or civilized. It is very much like that of the Arab states.
One final note, when Israel was created the majority population in the region was non-Jewish. To populate Israel with Jews, they shipped them from around the world. The problem is it is next to impossible to maintain a Jewish majority in an area where historically it has been majority non-Jewish, unless you kick a lot of people out, prevent them from coming back or travelling freely, and bring a lot of people in from abroad.
It's just despicable really. What's more sad is people who go out of their way to justify and defend this, without fully even knowing what it is they're justifying and defending.

I wasn't around last night to watch the cricket but will be sure to watch it tonight.
I just like it that Ponting has already come out saying "Don't blame me if we lose The Ashes". That sounds more like a statement an English captain pre-2005 would have said.
Makes you wonder....

But you can't even run two higher-end GPUs in the Mac Pro :rolleyes: It doesn't really matter how big the PSU is when you can't use its power. It's not like the 525W isn't capable of running the Dell T3500
Just because you can't legally drive a Farrari over 200MPH does not mean it does not have value or worth more. Been hearing of people who use power splitters to power two cards, but don't know much about it.
And the Dell would still end up being around 1000$ cheaper.
Anyone item in itself will is not going to be worth $1000.00, but you start to include all these items, it adds up pretty quickly.
Aluminum is a lot more expensive metal then steel & plastic.
It's not like the 525W isn't capable of running the Dell T3500
How about running two high end video cards running at full load for a long period of time?

Sorry, mate, but I think you're missing the point.
For a company like Apple losing a prototype and it ending up in the hands of a tech blogger months before its release was probably a big blow. But that damage is now done, nothing more they can do about that. The only thing they get to decide is how to handle the matter now with respect to the felony (probably) committed by the finder and Gizmodo. Are their interests best served by getting the police to bash down this guy's door and confiscate the tools of his trade? Apple is a corporation owned by its shareholders and upheld by passionate customers who buy things at a premium because they feel good about them and the company that makes them. It doesn't get to throw a tantrum. It has an image to consider. What's to be gained by tearing up this blogger? A deterrent for similar cases in the future? Give me a break. The next guy who gets his hands on a prototype will just be a bit more careful not to show his face in the video and claim it was sent to him by an anonymous source. That's all.
So, yes, it was a felony. But it still lacked style and class to go after the felon like that. And style and class is what Apple is all about.
Apples hand was forced once the device was sold to Gizmodo. I don't think I missed the point at all. If you don't address the selling of a prototype device that your company has spent millions of dollars developing, then that would be irresponsible to your share holders. The method to go after someone who has stolen, or paid for stolen property is to contact the police. I as a share holder of Apples would expect nothing less then them using law enforcement to go after these criminals.
