so they are shipping the Kinect with: a power cable, an usb cable and this Kinect port cable ?
I don't think anyone has seen exactly what the cable setup looks like.
why not simply ship it with power cable + usb and save on the manufacturing of an extra, special cable and designing a whole new connection port on the motherboard ? not to speak of confusion for customers
LOL, confusion? Do you have an old 360? Plug it in to the wall, and use USB. Do you have a new one? You use the single "Kinect" cable? If that task is hard for someone, then I don't think ANY level of simplification will help them.

When is Apple going to figure out how to implement software patches instead of forcing people to download a whole copy of the OS for every little update?
It's easier for them to do whole copies of the OS every time because people could go from iPhone OS 2.0 to iOS 4.3.3 if need be without having to patch to every subsequent release. It also cuts down on the risk of corruption.

Sorry but that's not the case, created an account just recently to provide my input on this issue on another thread. I am 3 iPads down with problems and still hoping the 4th will arrive with no leakage or dead pixels. I'm glad yours is "absolute fine" but if you do a search or just ask around you will find this is a widespread problem
Mine is fine. No bleed. I'm not sayin it does not exist, but mine is fine.

So ridiculous dude. Just embarassing. Do you really think anyone has the time or desire?
I am on my second iPad 2 and this one has far worse bleed then the first did which is just sad..
If this is not an issue then the thread with 108,000 views would like to have a word with you..

My bad if this is for real, it just sounds so much like the iPhone Antenna issues threads that started last year. I bought in to that whole garbage hook line and sinker at first and there were tons of newbies posting on the problem.
When I finally got to see a few actual iPhone 4's (never bought one since I am still under contract for 3GS) -- I could not replicate the problem. Over the past year I must have tried on about 20 iPhone 4's of friends, many times in areas of really bad coverage and compared it directly with my 3GS -- but no antenna issue could be discerned that was any worse than other smart phones and it consistently out-performed the antenna on my 3GS.
Clearly volume of posts (108,000) does not make the problem real since the iPhone 4 Antenna got more posts than I can count on more threads than I count. But it certainly lends some credence.
I also find it a bit hard to believe that Halebopp has managed to get 3 iPad 2's in the two weeks that they have been out and that he is waiting for the 4th given the production shortages. Unless Halebopp is going down to the Apple Store every morning at 7am and waiting in line for it to open so he can exchange the unit before the stock disappears. Maybe Apple Store is willing to hold one for you if you call the day before and tell them about the problem you are having and that you need an exchange. But I remember when folks where exchanging their 27-inch iMacs that had screen problems that it took quite a while to get replacement units.
So maybe it was/is a bit presumptuous of me to assume that since mine was fine that this was a repeat of that whole Antenna-gate thing. If so then I apologize, and I will reserve my judgement until there are enough iPad 2's out there in circulation for me to test with a dozen or so units of friends.
With regards to whether or not I think folks have the time or desire to post fake problems with regards to Apple products, I believe the answer is "yes" based on what I have seen. Does it mean that is always or usually the case, probably not.

Are you talking about nuns, like in a convent? :confused: I thought they lived a life of chastity, and considered themselves married to God. I'm pretty sure God doesn't beat them or rape them, or otherwise punish them for non-compliance.
On a side note, can we impose a mandetory bikini rule anytime the temperature permits? Probably not; the list of exceptions would be huge, no pun intended.

Those of you with MBs or MBPs with heat issues - get Fan Control Pref Pane.
It works, I have a RavA MBP2Ghz that runs cool to the touch, even when maxxed out running BOINC.
No problems here with the update - beeped instead of flashing lights, then a progress bar, reboot and a dialog box after startup that said the firmware was successfully updated.

An early release is good, but no bugs please!
Will an early release mean free Leopard for the new C2D MBP's & MB's ?
Nope, you'll only get a free upgrade to 10.5 if you buy a computer after they announce the release date. Last time it was two weeks I think.

David Frost: Are you really saying the President can do something illegal?
Richard Nixon: I'm saying that when the President does it, it's *not* illegal!

A muslim state is what israel would become if all the palestinians were given citizenship, and that simply can't happen, it would be very dangerous. I do know what i'm defending, the right for israel not to become an arab country.I have long believed that a secular, unitary state is the only right solution for Palestine. It can happen.

What a terrible year for rumors.
The MacBook Pro refresh were released when everyone was asleep.
iPad 2 was released way under spec from what everyone was expecting.
Now, no iPhone released possibly this year.
2011: The year Apple wants just to end.
No. the year Apple makes more profit than it ever has made before.

Competition is good - but I can't see myself giving up my Netflix subscription just to purchase the same services from Apple. They'd have to blow me away with features (or title availability) to get me to switch.
I'm paying $8.99 a month right now for unlimited streaming and one DVD a month (which generally just sits by the TV for weeks at a time - but that's another subject). Even if Apple somehow managed to undercut Netflix on price - it's already low enough that a chance to drop it further isn't a significant factor for me.

I'll be at MWSF all week. Where are people meeting?
Don't think we've decided yet. IJ suggested the seating area of the South Hall and I'm inclined to trust him since he's planned stuff like this before but nothing definite as of now.
This is one area where a booth may be helpful. Hint hint... ;)
I'm down for afternoon scheduling/meetups since I can work in the mornings that week if I can be arsed to get up early.

In this particular case I was planning on using RAID 5, but the Mac would still need to be able to handle managing 32TB of data.
I am in the process of researching this device and several other mass-storage solutions. This very thread is actually a part of my research because crowd sourcing on a board like this is great for solving a complex IT problem.
Why exactly do you want to use the Quad Pack Rack? It features exchangeable quad drive boxes, which aren't useful unless you need to transfer them from one rack to another across different locations.
Check out the other Dulce (http://www.dulcesystems.com/html/products.html) systems instead.
If you configure a 16 drive unit as a RAID 5 (which I personally wouldn't to as you'd have only a single parity drive) the Mac would have to handle 30TB in case that you use 2TB drives.
Anyhow, practically there is no limitation to volume sizes in OS X. Well, in fact there is, about 8EB, but you most likely won't be able to go over this limit in the next 20 years. ;)
Edit: And now the most important recommendation:

Apple will soon be #1!
They already are in individual unit sales. But they will never be #1 in overall unit sales. Samsung, LG and others make too many different models and Apple can only make so many iPhones. They will always be #2 or #3 in overall sales unless they made drastic changes and given they are #1 in profit, I don't think they will. I think they are happy right where they are.

Err aluminum is susceptible to scratching.. have you not notice. I'm sure if Apple decides to use carbon fiber it will be well though out product. I'm looking forward this.
Obviously you've never seen a scratch from a metal snap made on a carbon fiber auto hood. The unibody aluminum used to make MBPs is much more resistant to deep scratching. Hopefully Apple will not use carbon fiber unless it does work out problems like this, but it has been known to make mistakes with material choices in the past (see Mac Cube cracking (http://www.macworld.com/article/153341/2010/08/cube_10thanniversary.html) and MacBook bezel cracking (http://www.cultofmac.com/macbook-cracked-keyboards-just-keep-on-cracking/8739)).

Getting tired of these incessant 660mb downloads.
But I finally figured out how Apple gets you to keep updating... they always promise a battery fix along with the other crap you really don't care about. By now I should be running for 30 days on a single charge.

Lets hope they can have more supply then they did with the ipad. They are still struggling to keep up.
Hence the reason for pre-ordering: You're guaranteed to get a phone the day they come out. It's good for you (quick), and it's good for the store (they better know their inventory needs, etc). Win-win.
