Hype often makes a good product look worse upon release. Nothing new there.... But why would people get excited over Apple releasing a cellphone, despite having no real info on the details of it yet?
Simple! Most of us are frustrated with the horrible user interfaces on cellphones, and the lack of usability. I've owned several that made dialing numbers on the keypad too much of a chore. My Razr I use now is decent, but even it has horrible engineering flaws - like putting small buttons down the side that always get pressed accidently when the phone is on a belt-clip. You end up accidently changing the settings for the ringer, etc. My Treo 650 had serious problems with call volume being too low. Almost every Treo owner had to pay extra for a shareware program called "VolumeCare" just to fix that! I'm just hoping Apple can overcome a lot of that, and build a cellphone with an elegant but logical UI!
Treo 650 has a low call volume. So? It's not a flaw that's specific to all mobile phones. My friend's phone is too loud!
And UI improvements. Well........Sony Ericsson is definitely king of mobile phone UI right now, Motorola being the absolute worst. I don't know what else Apple can do. I actually have an idea for how get 2 or 3 types of buttons on the front face of the phone without making it a slider phone, but that's really the only idea I'd like implemented that will change the UI. Otherwise, what you'll be getting is a UI from Apple that's similar to what you use now, maybe touch screen (gimmicky).

Put all your music on the iPod and set iTunes to update playlists manually and you should be okay to delete the files from your hard drive. As you get new music you can add it to the iPod. Just make sure iTunes never automatically updates with an empty library or you'll lose everything on the iPod. If you need to get your music off the iPod there are several utilities for that as well.

I don't know if there is a way to directly get wired ethernet connection on to your iPad. I think probably not. But, one pricey solution is this:
Buy an Apple AirPort Express, a very small wifi router about the size of your palm. It will plug into the wired ethernet and broadcast wifi signal.
+1 - This would be about the same price as paying for 3 months of 3G service, so it will balance out in the long run :-) HERE (http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MB321LL-A-Airport-Express/dp/B0015YJOK2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1303226759&sr=8-1) is the Amazon link..$94 free shipping.

Mine in the only 5ghz network
you are aware that the 5 GHz signal deteriorates over distance, though ? in a dual-band environment, wireless clients tend to connect to the strongest available signal which, given the right conditions, more often than not is the 2.4 GHz band, which is prone to interference.
also, there may be closed (hidden) networks nearby that tools such as iStumbler (http://www.istumbler.net/) won't pick up.
you might want to experiment with the radio channel your TC is broadcasting on - you may find a channel that will work better for your network.
finally, there are other sources of interference (see the article i provided the link for) that you may not be able to overcome (power lines, electrical railroad tracks, and power stations for instance).
in the end, the only reliable form of networking is a physical ethernet connection, however, i'm using powerline adapters quite successfully in my network.
good luck !

Hey guys -
I narrowed my choices down to these two. Just need a little more input to make my final decision. Thanks all.

I managed to get Portal 2 working on my new 27" iMac by editing a system file to fool Steam into believing that you are running 10.6.7 - I believe the 10.6.7 requirement is because of new ATI graphics drivers that were bundled with that release and therefore this is quite safe (as the 10.6.6 build on the new iMacs obviously has the drivers for the machine).
I've posted the full details at http://bendodson.com/weblog/2011/05/04/portal-2-on-the-new-imac-10-6-6/ but basically you need to change the SystemVersion.plist file in your /System/Library/CoreServices/ directory so that the two references to 10.6.6 are changed to 10.6.7 - Steam will still complain but when you say "continue anyway" it'll actually run.
Enjoy!

Reminds me of people predicting flying cars in the year 2010. Hilarious when the guy sets the phone down and the kids drag the video screen over to them. Now the glass is one big camera. That could be scary.
I can also see a vast run on Windex.

While the events at Podcamp Boston (http://www.podcampboston.org) begin that weekend, I think it's more important to gather at the Hingham Apple Store at the Derby Shoppes to get Leopard.
Who's in?

If perl -V is still trying to invoke /opt/local/bin/perl it's because bash still has that lookup cached. Either run hash -r or simply close the current Terminal window and open a new one.
But if neither of these work, perhaps /usr/bin/perl as been overwritten. What is the output of ls -ld /usr/bin/perl? For me it this,
~$ ls -ld /usr/bin/perl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 86000 24 Jun 2009 /usr/bin/perl

...And they have to bump up the resolution on their iTunes store. But I'd be surprised if we see this anytime soon.
Haven't they already done that? :)

Its not even in the menu
What Mac do you have? And how does it have Bluetooth (i.e. internal, USB dongle, etc.)?

You can't boot OS X from zfs, you can't use spotlight very well on zfs, quite a lot of applications/games won't work properly because zfs isn't case-insensitive and there are some more small problems. Zfs is great for a fileserver and various other kind of servers but in a Mac it's still hfs+ that is the best option (even though zfs is a much better filesystem).
We are well aware of this.
The boot drive is NOT going to be ZFS based, Mac OS X cannot boot from ZFS anyway.

As for the claim that Dell is all about volume, I disagree to some extent, admittedly they make their money by sell cheap devices. But things like the Streak 5 and Streak 7 aren't cheap devices nor are their smartphones.
Yeah but Dell isn't selling 10 million Streak devices per quarter.

I have a mint condition, barely used original Airport card. nothing is occuping the card. Should I keep the card for a few years then try to sell and makes some big bucks because they are already rare? Or, should I just go sell now and make $130 or something like that.
Sorry if it doesn't sound right or punctuation is wrong... I just woke up :o
