After being very happy, ( and smug ), for a long time that my black MB didn't have the RSS, it got it. Over a period of a couple of weeks it went from never shutting down, to shutting down every now and then, to I couldn't keep it running for 10 minutes in a row.
I took it to the Genius bar at the Apple store in the international plaza in Tampa, where they replaced the heatsink. Took them about an hour to get it back to me. So far, so good.
A note, I don't believe that the RSS is related to actual temps. One time when my MB shutdown I had the dashboard open, and the intel Core Duo temp widget was reporting a temp of 34 C. Then blink, it was off. I did notice that as my MB got worse and worse, I didn't her the fans come on, ever. Before the RSS started, they would come on now and again. Since the repair, they seem to be running more normally. Fixing to do the firmware update, here's hoping!

I bet those four people who bought a Zune are going to be pissed! :eek:
Yes, like *this* will push them over the edge. They were doing fine with their clunky rubber-buggy brown players with four-way jog wheels, no PFS support, and installation failures, but when the Beatles aren't available, god will they suffer! :D
I could care less about the Beatles, but if this means the whole "Apple" issue is amicably and finally resolved, then I think it's outstanding. :)

And that is fine, but from a practical standpoint, as I said, you must figure out how to deal with localized economic distress caused by cuts in the military. You also have to deal with the fact that the military controls access to some really impressive weaponry. Take these two things together, the prospect of sudden poverty and ghost towns and the prospect of a bunch of rather testosterone-amped cowboys having their guns taken away, to me that looks like a recipe for major disaster and probably the reason the Pentagon's budget is so difficult to rein in.
You make some great points and I think the key to a successful reduction in military spending is to reduce it over time. A sudden 30-50% cut in the budget would be horrific and not just for a military program but in any program. But why not aim to reduce it from 600 billion today, to 400 billion fifteen years from now? The key is discipline but such a trait is not something I have seen Washington demonstrate. :(

Can someone give me some idea when the Apple Store Birmingham UK will get the new nano's in stock?
You could always call the store and ask... Might be quicker and more accurate than waiting for someone else from MR to answer.
Also some questions... (continued from my post on the previous page)
Is there anyway to get the new earbuds? The original buds do not fit my (small) ears, and I would like to try something new. Right now I'm using some Sony (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=4503996&st=headphones&lp=10&type=product&cp=2&id=1051806136350) over-the-head headphones.
Will there be a software update that will bring gapless playback and the other new features to the original nanos?
Will the original nano dock work with the new nanos?

Apple saw the Blu Ray failure coming, so they didn't use Blu Ray. Can't they see that 3D has ALREADY failed?
3D movies and stuff were "popular" a while back, but not so much now. The 3D TV is a failure. I can't even see any uses for 3D on an iPad except for the occassional 3D movie, but I personally hate them because of the headaches, and I'm sure a lot of people do too.

I can see Apple moving into third over the next two years.
That would be totally irrelevant.
Except for Apple, they all build the same old PCs. Because they all build the same product, sales can move from one company to another company very, very quickly, as we can see from the enormous growth followed by a very quick fall of Acer. Apple has 9.3%, so the rest has 90.7%. It would be possible with these numbers to have nine companies selling more than Apple. If Apple doubles their share to 18.6%, you still could have four companies selling more than Apple.
Apple's position in this chart doesn't matter one bit; not even the market share really matters; the thing that matters is how many Macs are sold. If HP takes a few sales away from Toshiba, Apple comes third. But if Acer takes a few sales away from HP instead, Apple comes fifth. What does it matter? (BTW. The IDC report at macobserver shows Apple fourth, with Acer having lost a lot more and coming fifth, not third).
The simple fact is, Apple is selling tons of product and will not change their pricing methodology to be competitive (iOS devices aside). I just scratch my head when all the Apple-ites on MR jump down my throat to defend Apple's pricing *Yes Sir may I have another.
If Apple is selling tons of products, in a market with plenty of competitors, how can they be not competitive? 9.3% of buyers in the USA decided that for their money, a Mac is the best computer they can find.

I think Apple will continue to sell it so long as its profitable. They clealry dont have many engineers dedicating lots of time to it, so if it sells theyll continue to sell it.
We might see an update to an iOS-based system similar to the nano. It may get a price drop because its specs can be met at such a lower cost today. A budget introduction to the Apple+iTunes ecosystem, perhaps? Filling the gap between the nano and the touch?

Whats the point in the 8 gig when you can get so much more capacity for only �20 more?!
Seems fairly bizarre really, you'd have to really like little black things to bother surely!
anyone getting one care to explain your rationale?
This is very simple to answer.
I want a solid state player that is small and lightweight and don't need the larger capacity of the regular iPod, nor do I want to lug around such a huge iPod -- relatively speaking.

Your wife said 'no'?
You know, this is a question that I've been wanting to ask for a long time, and this is not directed only at you, but to all responses similar to yours I've seen on such topics. It's an honest question I have, because it just blows my mind:
What the hell kind of relationship do you people have with your spouses?? I mean, seriously??! You need their explicit PERMISSION to buy something you want, with your money, and it gets to their point of people BEGGING their wives to let them buy something, only to be turned down?! How the hell do you get yourself into this kind of dynamic? The only plausible reason that a wife may be against it is if you guys are so short on cash, that $500 will break the account and drive you into poverty? And if this is the case, then you people should have a bit more responsibility than to beg your wives to let you buy something that you clearly can't afford. If you CAN afford it, and it is your $$, then why the hell do you even need to ask your wife in the 1st place, and what right does she have to refuse you? Do your wives make all the money? An iPad isn't a car or a house that needs to be a consensual and debated purchase. Your wife shouldn't have the ability (nor the desire) to stop you from buying one.
This is honestly something that Id like an answer to. Some of you seem to have a 'child/parent' relationship, instead of husband/wife. If she's the breadwinner of the house, and you mooch of her, fine I'd understand. But if you bring in the $$? Sounds like a disturbing and cold relationship. Why does she get to dominate you and dictate your decisions, void of any debate or discussion?
Obivously:
1. You are not married.
2. You don't understand wives.
-or -
1. You and your wife must fight a lot and you just do it anyway.
2. You rule your house with an iron hammer
-or -
1. You have a relationship where you guys have enough money that neither one of you have to worry about negotiating purchases.
2. Your wife gets whatever, whenever she wants.
3. You only make one purchase for yourself ever 2-3 years.
Trust me in a marraige, it is never as easy as "I am going to buy this." Sometimes to keep the peace, you just gotta say "yep" and do what she wants.
'nuff said
Get married, and own a home or have a kid or two you would will figure it out.

Why so many negatives, I love 3D stuff when it's done correctly. Lots of fun in my opinion. Though I really doubt Apple would put a 3D screen on the iPad.
Agreed - it's for fun, but not all fun. 3D has its place, just not on the iPad.

Subtle ?? That's not the current iPhone interface when in a call.
It's blaring right at you.look at that iPhone.It shows the blue area at the top.Go make a call and see how it looks.
This is a new iPhone or creative license.
Looks like a normal iPhone where the display is shifted down almost midway, probably because of a bug with the display.
No cause for getting anyone's panties in a bunch.

I'm not sure many would agree with you on that. Apple has always been a hardware company. Just because their software drives their hardware doesn't mean they are software focused. If they were primarily a software company, they would have gone the way of Microsoft and put out MacOS to run on any generic PC box. But we all know their take on that. Just to drive my point home, when was the last time Apple released a piece of software that people went nuts about and stood in lines for hours to get?
They've said themselves that they are primarily a software company. Just ask Steve.
Do you think anyone would be camping out for the latest iToy if it came without an OS out of the box?

It's my guess that many here seriously think WWDC is just a show for Apple to give a keynote and call it a day.

why does it say 50% faster. i thought merom was only 20% faster than yonah?
The comparison is between a 2.00GHz CD and a 2.33 GHx C2D.
1.4 x faster *(2.00/2.33) = 1.2 x faster at the same clock rating

34C is really, really low. 54C sounds more normal. How does your MacBook feel to the touch? Warmer? Perhaps it was reading the temp incorrectly before and is now reading it correctly?
Is this under normal operating conditions? Not pushing it?
According to CoreDuoTemp and iStatPro, my MB is usually around 19 to 25C. I've seen it reach 50ish when I push it. :confused: :confused:
