Looks like the Mac Pro, or what ever it's going to be called, doesn't get a new design.

Same manufacturer does not mean the same battery. Apple designed their battery from scratch, no other computer manufacturer uses the same battery as Apple. I'm floored at how fast it charges, how long it lasts, and how little charge its lost (its at 90% after 9 months and 172 cycles).
I'll call BS on that.
Apple does not design their own batteries. The casing perhaps, but not the core.
They spec them to a vendor. Then vendor does the actual design work.
As for performance, my Dell battery goes from 5% to full charge in a little over an hour.
Not bad in my book.
Hell the battery in my ThinkPad T410 goes from dead to full charge 30 to 45 minutes. And that thing is a monster.
The stock 6 cell last roughly 6 hours (kept it as a spare) and the 9 cell lasts over 11.

Apple won't sell a suite (there are no suites in the App Store). Look at iWork - just individual apps for purchase. They'll probably charge $299 for FCP and $99/each for the other apps, or have it all rolled up into Final Cut Pro.
I just wonder if there is any upgrade pricing strategy. No matter what - $299 is A STEAL!

What are they manufacturing, and what percentage of Foxconn's output is represented by that type of product?
Almost all products that are manufactured by Foxconn are produced by hand. When labor is essentially free it's going to be cheaper than using a machine.
Do you know what the labor cost on an iPhone is? About 85 cents.

No kidding. So much for the "everyone already owns all The Beatles songs they want" mantra. ;)
The iTunes stuff is very good quality. I went and bought several tunes that I didn't have from the re-mastered stuff.
lady bla bla has some talent. you have to have some to get admitted to juliard and NYU. even madonna had a good musical education before she hit the clubs in the 1980's
if you haven't seen this yet, it's lady bla bla a year or so before she hit it big
Ga ga seems to be more , much more, talented that Madonna though. Madonna = tone def.
The Beatles: Four guys who needed each other, because individually they were musical infants.
No, thanks.
The single worst summation of The Beatles. Ever. You don't deserve to hear them.

I thought no one cared...
I posted this on the Decemberists forum and it also got mixed reviews.
Although I have most of their stuff, from first CD's released in '87, I don't have all the re-masters recently issued. Like I said above it is nice to be able to click and shop if need be. ;)

there goes some of sony's good brand quality image.
one the good side. I once had to swap out a battery from apple before.
it was quick and easy. honestly i am a power user, travel tons.
could use a new fresh pair of batteries anyway. i am checking to see if any of my 3 are swapable.
hey not a bad thing. this is preventative. my batteries have been fine, aside from losing life after tons of charges.

"Hardware accessories Apple Remote, 85W MagSafe Power Adapter, AC wall plug, power cord, lithium-polymer battery"
Why does that say 85W? Am i missing something, or is that a mistake? the 85W adapter is for the MBP's.
I'm guessing they did that so they could use the same adapters for both. The laptop itself still has a 60W ps.

The wait is killing me and my MacBook. My poor machine is dying slowly and painfully. The palmrest has chipped again, the processor is burned out, the fans are loudly overturning to try and keep the processor from overheating only to fail when the processor gets to 87� and the computer shuts itself down to save itself from burning up. The battery "needs servicing". It's a mess. I have waited patiently for a new machine, and will wait patiently for a little while more, but I really hope they come soon.
I have $1100 coming to me from the government. I want to give it to you, Apple. Just release them new machines!
It sounds like you are brutally hard on your MacBook ....
Also, that $1100 is actually your money that you let the government hold for you all year long and earn interest on it. If you were smart, you would adjust your withholding and keep that money in your pocket. =)

Can anyone confirm the battery life is addressed?
The update was just released minutes ago, their is no way anyone can have an accurate answer until after testing it for a few hours.
No one can confirmed the battery performance has improved after just 10 minutes of testing it.

Yeah, is it possible to *watch* keynote as it happens, cause I don't wanna miss t, I wanna feel the suspense, or at leas thow long after Keynote will we know details?
Cheers
Unless you are THERE, YOU CANNOT SEE THE KEYNOTE LIVE. IT WILL BE PUT ON APPLE'S WEBSITE 2 HOURS AFTER THE KEYNOTE ENDS.
MACRUMORS WILL UPDATE US AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AS TO WHAT IS HAPPENING AT WWDC..
THERE WILL PROBABLY BE A FEW LEAKS BEFORE THE KEYNOTE BEGINS...
I'M CLARIFYING THIS FOR THE 100'S OF PEOPLE THAT KEEP ASKING THE SAME QUESTION!

PS: I have a screw in the middle of the bottom. Dunno if it has always been there. It could inded have been addd to hold the new (different) logic board and the heatsink in place so both won't touch ach other. But it doesn't look like it was added afterwards... is there anyon who didn't get his macbook repaired yet have this screw too? It's exactly in the centre of the shell on the bottom of the case. Just beeing curious. :-)
Yes, the screw has always been there. Pictures were posted earlier. They're not sitting in the back of the Apple Store with power drills driving screws into the bottoms of your MacBooks...

I absolutely adore these attempts at prophecy. Bottom line: We have no idea what the thing will cost, and all we can do right now is make educated guesses.
Hence the name of this site: Mac Rumors.
I'll give you that not all the rumors or speculations here are "educated," but if I were to make a price bracket sheet I'd put $29 losing out in the first round and $129 in the Final Four.

That's not what the article says. I interpreted it to mean that someone or some department within some publishing company was told... by someone else at the publishing company... to get all of their manuscripts archived and sent over to Apple.
That was my reading, that they were ordered by their sbosses in the company to get the manuscripts ready and sent to Apple, presumably because of a deal between the two companies.

Just installed the update on a week 39 MB. So far so good.
However, iStat Nano (the latest one from today) can't read the temp. It's got a new 'Fans' setting, but no joy there either.
FanControl and CoreDuoTemp finally agree, however, on the temperature. Previously CoreDuoTemp showed the temp at boot-up, or out of sleep, which was why I was reporting 19C. Now the temp under minimal load hovers around 50-54 - which is fine.

Looks like the Sony Ericsson K608i, Ive been dying to get my hands on one for awhile now, but tech changes and that lust faded. I have a p900 and I am enthraled with the phone OS. Motorola can eat it here.:p
Looks like it might say "Sony Ericsson" on it.

I find it hard to believe that anyone doesnt already have any Beatles tunes they want already.
Still if its good PR for Apple and further marginalises the zoon, thats OK by me.
...you could say that about 50% of the artists that are already on iTunes.
