I figured they were talking about network traffic as well. Where would they get the road traffic information from users? I'd like to see a quality turn-by-turn navigation feature become a standard offering and improved traffic info would be a nice plus.
I didn't interpret it as network traffic. What would be the purpose of "a crowd sourced traffic service"? If the goal is to provide "an improved traffic service", how does that relate to network traffic? Tell Apple which hotspots are overloaded? With what end goal?
On the other hand, I don't know how Apple could be accurately collecting vehicle traffic data without pinpointing the location of your iPhone (e.g. on a local highway) so I guess there's room for interpretation.
As for turn-by-turn GPS, I just bought Navigon and I'm quite pleased with it so far.

I think that ms. verizon and ms.google have done paid off ms. consumer reports to give a bad rating. Convient timing for the droid x release, uh humm. I would like to find someone with a legitimate problem. Blackberry's, nokia's, etc all do the same, so they should have bad rattings too.
Yes, for other phones to succeed, the iPhone needs to fail. I took off my bumper in protest to the haters. Never have a problem and the phone works perfectly without having to change how I hold the phone. It is perfect.

How does that disprove what he said? It's a pretty silly argument considering that Google is making news for a serious effort to reduce fragmentation.
And your statistics only apply to phones that access the Android Market. That cuts out millions of Android phones, particularly in China. The ones that don't use the Android market being the largest source of fragmentation.

I have to agree with "Hardtimes" here. It's a great feature to have, and some people will do a lot with it. But I'm of the opinion that when it comes to digital music, the content isn't really that big in the first place. (Your typical MP3 file recorded in a good bitrate may be what? 4-7MB in size?) You can cram 16GB worth of content on a tiny microSD flash card that costs under $40, or far more on relatively cheap standard SDHC flash cards or USB memory sticks. If you're willing to carry around a small portable hard drive, you might have as much as 1TB of content on a notebook type drive in a small, thin case, and it's still self-powered off the USB cable.
There's no shortage of inexpensive and reliable ways to take a *lot* of music with you digitally, and no shortage of devices that can play it. What *can* get really costly is lots of high-speed Internet access. You have issues ranging from cellular providers with monthly caps on your data xfers on their networks to wi-fi hotspots that charge fees to use them, to larger caps on your home broadband connections (which while larger, also get used up a lot faster by things like streaming VIDEO you'd be likely to use a lot at home). Not only that, but I hate listening to music only to hear interruptions in the playback. Streaming audio often suffers from that if you lose your wireless connection, even for a moment. Kind of brings you back to the bad old days of vinyl records that skipped due to scratches, or music CDs with fingerprints on them that skipped until you cleaned them!
I am honestly not fussed about this.
I would much rather have a physical apple branded itunes server for my house to fit in with my personal eco-system. I just cannot see myself using this - especially with the inevitable restrictions that will come with music I have ripped from my purchased CD's.

The ATI FireMV 2260 costs 120$ on Amazon so price wise it is similar to ATI 5770. You can add a lot beefier GPU and still save a fortune compared to Mac Pro.
Still a few differences. Have to factor in more things.
Mac Pro two network cards.
No bluetooth on Dell Precision T3500?
Seems the Dell Precision T3500 power supply is 525 watts where the Mac Pro
is 980Watts. As far as I could find.
Have to factor in Heavy duty aluminum case vs thin sheet metal & plastic. Mac Pro cases are not cheap.

Its simply not true!
Haha, that would be a pretty cool rumour though

Toss in iAd along with streaming music and it's probably still a longshot... but I love the idea. Apple would DOMINATE the streaming market. Can you imagine the number of Apple users who would pay $10 a month for an all inclusive media streaming service? $10 multiplied by *a giant number* + iAd revenue = huge profit for Apple with more than enough to appease the content producers.

I'm looking for a free update, I don't know if it'll cost money, but osx 10.6.4 or whatever I have sucks. I want them to fix this crappy desktop they got going. They should probably make it so you can view "folder branch's" too. Like you right click the folder and click view branches, and then all of the sub files/folders will pop below, and you can access quicker without having to go through like 30 different folders. Drives me a bit nuts. To make a branch you'd have to link it to a host folder. Just an idea. Also they should update the dock, it's a tad boring. You know, I recently watched avatar on my mac, and it sucked because my laptops resolution sucks I found out. They should quick tricking my eyes with whatever they're doing..
Also they should get rid of some of the apps that come pre installed on their macs. A good majority of them I don't use, and a lot of people I talk to don't use them. They should just make them downloadable on the site. Also they should make it so I can put folders on the far left of the screen, that drives me nuts. I got a lot more demands, just to lazy to continue.., they just need to do a hole makeover on the desktop...

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:
http://files.macbidouille.com/mbv2/news/news_03_11/radeon8x2.jpg (click to enlarge)
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.

Yea, the value for the price is not there. You can get the paper version of Wired for $10/yr via Amazon. Why would you pay the crazy prices for the digital version, if anything it should be even cheaper.
It's not Conde Nast being smarter its Conde Nast not knowing how to execute a digital strategy that works.

Been hearing of people who use power splitters to power two cards, but don't know much about it.
It's been done before, but users have to be careful due to how much current is drawn from each rail (+12V). Pull too much current from any rail, and you will trip protection circuits at best, and possibly even blow the PSU. If the latter happens, you could damage other parts of the system.
What makes this harder in the MP, is I don't recall any information as to what the current limit is, or trace out which rail is which.
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.
Aluminum may be more expensive than steel, but there's not enough of it to remotely justify an additional $1k on an SP Mac Pro. Not even adding in the cost difference between the PSU's (btw, you can spec out a larger PSU in the Dell's, and it's mandatory with some options IIRC).
In terms of reliability, we're talking about workstations, which are designed to be more reliable than desktops (tend to see things like better cooling, layout, ... vs. desktop counterparts).

If they do something like that, I'd expect that iLife and iWork '07 won't work with Tiger and that would be a shame.
I wouldn't make that assumption. Just because iLife ships only with new Macs of the same model year doesn't mean that you're stuck with iLife '05 on your 2005 Mac. It could easily be the case that iLife will be optimized for Leopard with enhanced features, but will still be compatible with Tiger (remember the days when software was optimized for Altivec but didn't require it?).
Of course, it's not impossible that iLife '07 will be Leopard-only, especially if it doesn't add anything to iLife '06 functionality. I can't think of any obvious new functions for iLife to add. More themes, some reorganization, etc. would be new features, but not breaking any new ground.
