You are chatting with Scott C, an Apple Expert

me- im just checking out this new applestore online feature
me- its pretty cool
scott- Good morning
me- can i pre-order my iPhone here when it comes out in january?
me- how much is that going to run, i want to order that now.
scott- I am not familiar with the iPhone.
me- oh
me- you are not familiar with it?
me- well i was going to wait for it to come out so i could buy it and use it as my phone
scott- I am unaware of any future or unreleased products.
me- but since you are unfamiliar with it, im going to go buy a microsoft windows phone and lock myself into a 2 year contract in which i will be unable to purchase any other phone
i wont be buying the iPhone. :(
i thought it was coming out soon
but since you are unaware, im going to have to get myself an HP iPaq
scott- There are rumors posted online about it, but I am unaware of any factual information about it.
me- oh
me- i heard about it on TV though
me- im one of those people who believes everything they see on TV, not really... but i was quite taken by the iphone they showed on TV and i was going to wait because i know Apple releases the highest quality products i know of. buying the phone they made was going to be my next tech purchase
but now i am going to go get a $400 HP iPaq and lock myself into it for 2 years
scott- Well, it might be worth it to wait and see if Apple does release one then.
me- oooookkkk
me- thank you
scott- Thank you for visiting the Apple Store. We appreciate your business.
me- thank you for chatting
A convesation that bboyredcel had with himself.
bboyredcel- Hi, I'm a stupid moron and I want to show people that I think I'm really cute.
himself- Let's pretend you, bboyredcel, call Apple and ask them about the iPhone.
bboyredcel- Yeah and I, bboyredcel, can pretend that I know more than the Apple Expert.
himself- You could then threaten to purchase a competitor's product.
bboyredcel- Yeah, I bet that would really upset him.
himself- And while you're at it you can show the world or at least those who read this page, how stupid you really are.
bboyredcel- What.
himself- Well, everyone who reads MacRumors should know how Apple operates by now. You might as well be calling Apple about a rumored iPizzaMaker or something.
bboyredcel- Really Apple is working on an iPizzaMaker.
himself- God, I wish someone would just lobotomize me!

It may be from the weakening ( or collapsing) USD, and Apple increasing prices to AT&T. Then again, it may be sheer greed.

Just put a drill bit through my middle finger (tore straight through and took some bone with it as well :() whilst wiring the house network up. Having a rest.
BTW itunes drive is in PPC but my apple tv says i need itunes 10.2 to stream. downloaded 10.2 and it needs OSX 10.5
Is there a way around that? if not why is 10.5 so flaming expensive?

If it is a .zip file, double click on it, as Mac OS X can extract .zip files natively. If that doesn't work or if it is not a .zip file, take a look at The Unarchiver.

As others have mentioned, if you're worried about him having sex because he's staying the night he's probably having sex at other times of the day. If you don't want him staying over, tell him.
Either way, buy him some condoms. At least he's getting exercise.

Pretty amazing considering the date and cost....
Much more interested in this sort of solution over the typical enterprise that simply phones up a vendor and orders a SAN.

Some of you by now may have noticed I always seem to have Michael Jackson or South Park wallpapers (Okay, I doubt any of you have noticed because I'm not well known) but I can't wait for his new album out in two weeks! (My wallpaper is part of the cover... had to crop it for my desktop size)
Might switch to a Christmasy wallpaper in a week or two...

Wasn't ur previous wallpaper the cover of "Bad"?
Do u mind sharing the wallpaper please. I'm also a huge MJ fan. Thank in advance!

Thanks, Huntn. Good post. Here are my thoughts on your ideas:
There is a long term move to dismantle government social programs and who needs the truth when we can lie? You know we can't afford you social program and your school because we have these billion, thats B-I-L-L-I-O-N dollar bombers that need building.
This is all very simplistic, but here goes:
1. Reform Health care- one illness from bankruptcy is not acceptable for a developed country. Health care should have never been turned into a profit machine along the same lines that you don't want your police and firemen as for-profit enterprises. The larger the pool the smaller the costs.
'turned into' a a profit machine? As opposed to... when?
Providing health services and goods has always been a for-profit enterprise. This is exactly what has lead to the amazing growth in medical technology in the past 100 years.
2. Cut programs before lowering taxes especially on the rich- you can't balance a budget if you have no income. If you must lower taxes, you must first cut the programs and deal with the popular unrest before cutting any taxes. This is exactly what the champion of the Republican Party did not do- Reagan, he cut taxes but not programs and this country ran the first substantial deficits since WWII.
I tend to agree. Cut programs until our expenses match our current 'revenues.' When the two are equal or are in the black, let's immediately pass an balanged-budget amendment so this problem never happens again.
3. Progressive Tax policies are a must- The rich are rich. Make them pay their fair share. They can afford it. Cutting their taxes to create jobs is mostly a conservative smoke screen to **** over average citizens.
For the record, they are paying their fair share. The top 50% of wage earners pay over 95% of the income tax. Your disgusting attack on all conservatives wanting to '****' over all citizens is just that... disgusting.
4. Stop allowing the Exportation of Jobs- If you want to keep a standard of living. Lowering the standard of living reduces income and tax revenues.
How? Trade embargo's? Certainly you understand that increasing taxation on the wealthy and corporations certainly won't help.
5. Enact policies that support a strong Middle Class- instead of wiping it out for the sake of the rich. A strong middle class powers the economy.
Lower taxes? Strong business climate with low unemployment? You seem to be contradicting yourself... what strong middle class policies are you specifically talking about?
6. Search High and Low for Corruption- No system will work if it's corrupt. Submitting thousands of fradulent Medicare claims is hurting us.
I agree. I would start with a MASSIVE simplification of the tax code, and virtual elimination of all government subsidies over the next 5-10 years.
7. Dismantle the War Machine- in the good ole days we could afford it. Now we can't.
I tend to agree. Reduce the budget by half, let them become more efficient and more reliant on technology. Take a more defensive posture around the globe and avoid entangling alliances, etc. abroad. That being said, I believe its important for us to maintain a strong national DEFENSE. We do have enemies... and defense is one of the primary constitutional roles of the federal government.
Almost half the traffic on the Internet comes from mobile devices. Again, it's common courtesy.
The charts look amazing on my iPhone.

Hi All,
First off I am new here, so Hi again
I have a small problem getting Microsoft Outlook 2001 to use my 2003 Exchange server. I have to admit I am new to macs and am finding it a little hard to do anything but I am trying.
From what I can tell is that for some reason my the mac will not resolve the server name to an ip address. I mean when I look in the Outlook settings, under services --> properties if I place the servers IP address there and then the user name and then 'check the name' it resolves the name of the server and under lines the user name (which as far as I am concerned has worked).
Yet when I then launch Outlook I get a message saying folders could not be opened. The attempt to log on to the server failed..... Microdoft Outlook could not be started. The attempt to log on to the MS Exchange Server failed....................
What I have done so far:-
Updated the /etc/hosts file and added the ip address for the server (can ping both IP and name from the console and network util)
When in Outlook settings --> properties and user the server name instead of the IP address and try and check name I get an error.. The name could not be resolved. Network problems are preventing connection to the MS Exchange Server, Contact your system adminsitrator (me).
Sorry for the long post but this is a real problem. Any help would be much appreciated.
Ian
PS The only thing I can sort of think of at the moment is that Outlook starts I think in classic mode??? I am not sure if this starts a new shell and therefore ignores the /etc/hosts file and that is the reason why it can not resolve the server name. If I am right my next question would be where is the hosts file for the classic enviroment??
