My First Headcase Post
Welcome! I very much enjoyed listening to your rigs at CanJam. Sorry we didn't get to meet in person.

Can't see it being too bad at the stores this time around for an essentially incremental upgrade. But those Mactards are crazy, so who knows.

Ha. I just put this on reserve at the library the other day and will also be buying as soon as it comes out in softcover.

Then suffer. Bit of a disappointment here finding my 2008 iMac won't be able to take advantage of GPU acceleration in Snow Leopard. Even for Apple, the list of supported cards is pretty fucking short and the disqualified systems of startlingly recent vintage!

There doesn't seem to be one specifically for general chitchat that I could see? Doubtless will be heavily shoveled-upon if in error in this matter. Anyway, nice update of the 13" Macbook -- now Pro -- today I thought. $100 price cut and FireWire makes a comeback, adds LED backlit display, support for 8GB of RAM, and the new uber-permabattery (OK, not unmixed blessing). Also thought $30 for Snow Leopard upgrade was pretty fair. Leaner, faster and (allegedly) fixed fucking finder would be well worth that to me.

The good thing about them not changing the physical form factor much this time around is the stealth upgrade potential. "Hey, I didn't know your phone could shoot video?" "Oh, there was a big firmware upgrade, honey."* (Well, there was.)

HD800? Another rumor?
I think the Balancing Act is going to be right up there with the 800s, too. Just a pity that room was so loud, because it was hard to get a good listen.

Agreed. But the pocket protector wants what it wants.

No. AT&T allowed no cost upgrades to the 3G. But, remember, they didn't subsidize the price of the original iPhone at all -- so it's not a valid comparison. Whether the current offer is fair rather depends on how far you are into your current contract. The other question is, what are you going to be able to sell a 3G iPhone for now?
