Mine was doing fine until a couple of days ago, when it shut down for the first time. Applied the firmware update, hasn't happened since.

why are two different Apple websites giving slightly DIFFERENT serial numbers? one is 3K***** and the other is 3X*****
here are the two Apple websites:
https://depot.info.apple.com/batteryexchange/
https://support.apple.com/ibook_powerbook/batteryexchange/index.html
so one of those is right and one is not. and of course, one of those i have to send my battery back, and one i dont! ahhh, what to do?!

i don't mind an integrated graphics card, all I want is a better integrated graphics card, the best that intel can offer.
Unfortunately, that's currently the GMA950 that's already in the Macbook. :(

Apple growing fast on a dying market. Great. :rolleyes:
They should better focus on releasing the iPhone 5 in June and not postpone it until fall....
Uhh...what big difference does three months make? The world's going to be around until the end of 2012 at least.

Apple is purchasing the 700 mhz range to offer free wireless iTunes in all of its products across North America! ;)
Perhaps not for that purpose, but one wonders what Apple could do with part of the 700MHz spectrum...
How decent is it for streaming video? With Slingbox rumored to be working on an iPhone and iPod Touch client, perhaps Apple is looking at streaming rentals to those devices for when you find yourself stuck in an airport because of a delayed flight. Make a great ad tie-in:
"There is something in the air, but it's not you because of snow at O'Hare. So why not catch the new episode of '(insert show name here)' while you wait for the next update at the gate?"

Here's my addition today - a fisherman on Pound Lake in Virginia. Something about the fog coming off the lake but seeing his cast worked great for me that morning - 5 minutes later and I would have missed it...

Has anyone seen anything about being able to redownload TV shows we already purchased with the higher resolution. I haven't seen anything, but if Apple doesn't offer this, I'll be pretty peeved off as I just bought these shows recently.

I agree with you 100%, well said.
I get it- as a wife, I was the one buying the iPads, with money I make in my consulting business. However, my husband would have not been pleased if it was blowing all of our discretional income without discussing it first...
In this case, since he gets my iPad 1, he is happy, and he's thrilled that I've made enough $ through my p/t job to afford to do this.
Marriage is all about mutual responsibility. And while he "asks" me before buying stuff for his wood workshop, I don't ever think I would say "no"- depending on the expense it might only be "not now". Our unspoken rule is if it's a non-essential over about $200, the other spouse should be advised and gets a courtesy ask. Keeps us both happy.

Ever owned a 12" powerbook? I have two.
There's a reason a lot of 12" powerbook owners rave on about them. The form factor is very neat. It sure isn't about how powerful they are :).
i can vouch for that...as much as i love the 13" screen, the 12" are much more portable and easy to carry around. its great how they manage to fit a full sized keyboard in sucha small space. i still love mine...tho im trying to sell!

Apples whole line-up is impressive....All carrying high performance processers and add ons...I'm not in a hurry for the MBP,MB bumps beacause they are already powerful...now the imac and minis get a little bit more....good time to be interested in OSX.

Now that Apple has consolidated the portable line on Intel C2D processors, the line between the pro and consumer models are diminished. Perhaps Apple should combine the two lines into one with 4 models across the line, employing an updated MB enclosure.

Maybe, but up here in Canada we have to pay through the roof for bandwidth so Netflix is kind of lame. I don't think all the players are being sold that cheap there are just more companies making cheap ones for the masses. I personally like Blu Ray for the quality that Netflix can't offer.
However, I could be wrong does Netflix deliver 1080P?
It does offer 1080p. Where I live, we have cheap bandwidth because we are near a station :), but most people can also have 1080p streaming pretty easily. You just wait a few minutes for it to load if you're slower, which is better than going to the store or using mailed rental Blu Ray discs.
And in America, every retail tech store I have gone to has been selling Blu Ray players at discounted prices. One week they were $300-$1000, then they were soon around $100 or less. No store or company is bragging about Blu Ray here.
But maybe it's different in Canada?

you're that annoying friend that shows up at a party and everyone has to be nice to him, and then as soon as you leave everyone talks about how abrasive you are.
that is the worst kind of friend.
Actually, the people I hang out with have some degree of character and intelligence.
ETA: And also, most of them are gay. The straight people I hang out with probably wouldn't say "that's so gay". For those who did, I would just explain why it bothers me; they would just think about it for a second and realize what they were doing. It's really pretty straightforward.

IRONIC as facebook could clearly benefit themselves on a more strict app approval system. There's so much spam on there these days. People's accounts getting hacked, sending messages with trojan links to everyone.
And the iPhone app itself pretty much sucks anyway so a new developer would be a good thing

Thanks Crap-Mart, one less reason to shop at your store! :)I agree, I hate Walmart with a passion. They are helping destroy the middle class everywhere they go. Apple does have a problem with the studios because they want to have their cake and eat it to. Im sure they are all looking into downloading movies themselves so they can avoid that 3rd party. Did I say Walmart sucks?:p

I think what is being referenced is what used to be called "ping-pong stereo," the very wide and complete separation of channels -- which in the Beatles catalog is heard mainly on the Rubber Soul and Revolver albums, the two best they ever made IMO. I'm not a huge Beatles fan, but mess with these recordings at your peril!
I don't think either of those albums exhibit that -- the first four British albums in stereo do, but they've never been available on CD in stereo, just mono. Rubber Soul has a few songs that don't work well in headphones (eg Girl) but Revolver is mixed well!
