what apple does as a computer MANUFACTURER is merely putting together a load of components shipped from other companies and screw it up in places.

battery overheating, hard-drive noise, why would it all come down to apple's fault? and once a single apple product goes wrong, the whole world talks about it, does it mean dell products are any better? i've never had a dell machine that lasts longer than 3 years(broke up physically into pieces), whereas my original powerbook g4's still working at 7-year old.

of cos all products have a certain rate of manufacture defects, but issues like this are with component suppliers and all computer makers who take their supply from them suffers, NOT JUST apple.

You can choose to turn off, sound, badge, or boxes FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL APP. You can in fact turn any combination of the three off. So don't know what the fuss is all about. Stop complaining when you haven't seen the real thing. I've been using the GM since last week and all I can say is that the push notification really works this time!!!

nehalem mobile cpus aren't even out yet... what's the point of comparing desktop pricing to laptop? it's a bit like comparing a ferrari to rolls-royce... so ferrari's cheaper and faster, so it rules??? jerk off!

there are many latest hacks by monitoring the power consumption of the machine or even of the monitor. a research group at my uni. is dedicated in this field

uptil now i still maintain that the g4 cube is one of the all-time beautiful machine, despite the overheating issues.

people nowadays are very good at this kind of tricks. maybe the conclusion is that most people are morally bankrupt and enters into a lawless mindset in the internet era. or rather that the internet makes international trading a lot easier but at the same time prosecution a lot more challenging for relatively "small" things

unfortunately the answer is going to be no...

the reason is that hsdpa, hsdpa+ are all just software upgrade. but because of its cost mobile networks tend to do it gradually than shelling out billions in one quarter and corrupt their balance sheet.

the current iPhone 3G doesn't support speed upto 7.2MBps, only upto 3.6MBps in the latest iteration. but it's almost certain that the upcoming new model will support 7.2MBps

Very good point, and in fact I never understood the mentality of those people who buy this product. C'mon, if you want to buy a DSLR, you get yourself either a proper Canon EOS or a Nikon. Both of these are established maker of those high-end digital cameras and have got a very reliable track record as well as global customer support.

You can get a Canon EOS body and use it for a good 5 years with no big problem, I doubt you can with this series. I got myself a proper EOS for taking proper photographs and a HDD HD HandyCam for shooting video.

RC is release candidate, it's BETA. Features advertised there may be changed or removed altogether.

The definition of a Trial version is something of a SUBSET of an releasED version, with limited functionalities and/or limited time. That means you can buy the full version at the time the Trial is downloaded.

Release Candidate is really more of a thing to developers and IT professionals to see how Windows 7 WILL roughly speaking look like, NOT how it IS like.

These are all very basic terms in software industry. The most straightforward example is that when you offer a Trial version of something and accident happens, you need to take liability for that damage(say burnt your hard drive), but that liability is waived if you were downloading a BETA/RC version. So these two things assume very different legal rights as well.
