Again... this is advertising. ;)
I imagine they bought the cheapest iPad for this. $500 is nothing to pay in exchange for the advertising benefits they'll receive from a video such as this. If it results even in a handful of people buying their product they've turned that purchase into profit. Also, Apple profited from the sale (and also from the appearance of their product).
This is the economy functioning...
I would not be surprised if apple gave them the iPad to blend. It works out to be good advertisement for everyone involved.
Hast he blinder ever failed? All the Will it Blend videos I have watch is everything blends.

Wow... wouldn't that be awesome!? And hopefully free! I need a GPS like once a year in my car, so I would not want to buy a separate device or an app. A cheap or free solution would rock!
And since you take your phone with you when you leave your car, you don't have to worry about anyone breaking into your car to steal your GPS... :D

I placed an order for a iPad 2 yesterday with the 4-5 week wait. The order specified a ship date of April 27. I just checked my order status and the ship date has now changed to April 21, so six days earlier anyway. We'll see if it changes from there.

Hopefully this is just a short term supply and demand thing. There probably aren't enough to go around currently for both institutional and individual purchases, especially if they just received a few large institutional orders. Once inventory ramps back up on them, hopefully they'll be available again for purchase by education individuals.

Angry much? Sending a submission takes all of 10 seconds. If you choose not to, then you are no worse off than you are now.
I see you are on Long Island, where your attitude runs rampant (lived there for years so I can speak to it). I'm sure others will gladly submit on your behalf. By the way, my 3G service on Long Island was excellent, so I'm assuming you are in Nassau county?
I live on Long Island, in Great Neck, and my service is good there. I work in Jersey City, and have to leave my phone on Edge due to terrible 3G service. I take the LIRR to Manhattan every day, and I get a kick out of, on the ride home, the Service is always coming in and going out. The second to last stop on my way to Great Neck is Little Neck, which is technically NYC (Queens), and I get NO bars or service at all !

Now that The Social Network has cemented the idea that biopics don't require the main subject to be deceased, maybe we'll get a Steve Jobs/Apple movie that also covers the post-Pirates-Of-Silicon-Valley era. With an actual budget and acclaimed writers, director and cast! I'm being half tongue-in-cheek, but the geek in me would drool over this. Although, being an optimist, I think there is a lot more fodder to come with Apple and Jobs! Why not interview him in depth now and until his, hopefully a long time from now, passing, and then have the whole story. I guess because he and Apple are peaking.
I would LOVE to see a movie on how he was fired and then he came back, and how the iPod revolutionalized everything...to see all the inner workings of all those deals....behind closed fdoors.

Wake me up when it supports Exchange 2003 just like all of their Windows versions.
Que the one MS fanboy who will say it's old tech and Microsoft will never support it.
Guess the team that works on Office 2010 for the PC never got that memo since that works like a dream with Exchange 2003.
Or, you could be like the Office for Mac team and happily keep your head in the sand.

Only question. Why?
Some say Apple need to buy Netflix. Have those of you even considered what Netflix charges for monthly streaming?
$8
Apple will never let customers eat that much for so little. The day Apple buys Netflix, DVDs would stop, and streaming would go up to $30 a month.
Promised.
Bingo. One trillion in the bank. Magic.

This is actually a good thing! 34 C was probably incorrect because some Core duo chips have a bug that prevents the temp from being read correctly. 46 c is what is should be. The firmware probably just has a software patch to fix the hardware bug.
My C2D iMac run idle at about 36-37 C, your saying that is incorrect?

Will the clip be as good for exercising as the dorky (but useful) stringy thing?
The design made getting rid of the built in USB necessary, but what an easy thing to LOSE.
I like the previous poster's idea of multiple playlists. Just 2 (LOUD and QUIET, or Punk-rock and Ambient) would be great.
It's harder to write on aluminum with a Sharpie!

And you must be totally void of imagination and creative intelligence. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why you hate apple.
Let me guess your an engineer type - who loves specs and rarely has a unique thought of your own.

And yet they still might. The culture there is very honor bound. It can great a lot of stress. Especially if you just lost the job that is supporting your family out in the country, have been publicly humiliated and probably blacklisted from similar jobs.
As for Foxconn having them arrested, I'm not surprised. They risk losing their contracts with more than just Apple if it is implied that they condone this behavior. So they have to come out against it even if they really aren't
Oh yeah!?!?! Very honor-bound I'm sure! For a country that is number 1 in the world for software piracy and other forms of theft of intellectual property they have a very strange way of showing it.
On the other hand, Apple knew when they decided to manufacture their products in China, what they were bargaining for! These people sometimes live in extreme poverty and need to find any means of supporting their family. For Apple it is just money but for these people it is their lives and their family's life. It just goes to show how companies like Apple make their money. To us North Americans they paint a very pretty picture of themselves but underneath the surface they are corporate savages who are willing to strike down any human being that gets in their way to make a buck.

Apple can release "cool" things but the real money is in business. Unless they get their heads in the business world, they'll remain a sub-10% market share company. The 18-34 home computer market can only provide Apple with a limited amount of profit:
http://www.idiotarchive.com/archive/372224.asp
I think Apple's commitment to quality product design is a great thing, and they should be commended for making that a priority, rather than chasing market share at whatever cost.

Dell Precision T3500
Intel Xeon W3530 2.8GHz

Price: 1389$

1GB ATI 5770
1TB 7200rpm hard drive
Price: 2499$
The ATI FireMV 2260 costs 120$ on Amazon so price wise it is similar to ATI 5770. You can add a lot beefier GPU and still save a fortune compared to Mac Pro.
Still a few differences. Have to factor in more things.
Mac Pro two network cards.
No bluetooth on Dell Precision T3500?
Seems the Dell Precision T3500 power supply is 525 watts where the Mac Pro
is 980Watts. As far as I could find.
Have to factor in Heavy duty aluminum case vs thin sheet metal & plastic. Mac Pro cases are not cheap.

The official word has come down from BBY corporate about 20 minutes ago. BestBuy will start their pre-sales tomorrow 6/15/10. It will be in-store only. You will fill out a form and pay a 50 dollar deposit, and then you will be given a 50 dollar BBY gift card.
Despite rumors about the shortage of the white iPhone, we will be selling all 4 different variations of the iPhone 4 on launch day. We will not be able to setup appointments to come in and purchase the phone until we actually have the stock hit the store, but that will happen within the next week.
We will be selling what appears to be a fullbody Rocketfish case, and a fullbody iFrogz case. I do not see any Bumper/Bunker cases at this time but I'm still hopefull that we get some, mainly due to the huge employee discounts.
We will be selling the Zagg invisible shields, and will be selling them at the same price as the online website. http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/apple-iphone-4-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php If you don't feel like you can install these yourself then the BBY mobile team charges about 8 dollars to install them. My suggestion from looking at the intall jobs from the store in my area... try to do it yourself.
There will be a 30 day employee hold on these devices to avoid client disappointment. Right now there is no official number on how many each store will be getting. When the pre-orders start coming in, that is what will decide our stock levels. We will be sent enough to back our pre-orders, and that's more than likely it.
Also, if you have any sort of a foundation account number (FAN) on your ATT account then that is NOT an issue, BBY mobile will still be able to sell you the phone at any available upgrade pricing you may qualify for. However, if you are currently on a concession line, or a demo line, meaning your bill might range from $10-$50 dollars, then BBY will NOT be able to sell you the phone with upgrade pricing. You will either have to go through your company's HR department, or through ATT to still qualify for the upgrade pricing. If you do have a concession line or a demo line, we can still sell you the phone, only it will have to be at the no commitment prices.
