These data centers will allow every Apple users to have a Mobile Me account. All of our info will be stored on these giant Apple shaped clouds. The more Apple gives up, the more we will depend on them.
Apple does have the clout and connections to compete in the streaming market... but they already are in that market with iTunes/ATV. Will this media venture continue to evolve for Apple? Of course. But thinking these data centers are for some huge massive influx into the media streaming buzz by Apple is ridiculous. The talks between Apple and the content producers would be more massive than these data centers. Something like that couldn't stay hidden.
I for one welcome out new Apple shaped cloud overlords. May they profit like madmen with all of our personal info.

Ah, a labret.. I learned that word freshman year.. then the girl with the labret piercing squirted grape juice at me through the hole.
OMG freaky, but she' first chair at Oberlin now, so I guess she can labret-squirt anyone she wants now, 'cause she's principal bass at OBERLIN her freaking junior year. (just... DAMN! I mean.. DAYMN!)
Dude, those look so cool! I wish I could have one and not look like a stupid goob. :(

Many folks on this forum seem to use and rely on iDVD. I'm in that group.
I know that the world is much larger than this forum, and therefore the percentage of iDVD users to all Mac users is in fact very small. But...
If Apple does drop iDVD it will be another example of blantant disregard for customer's requests.
This may be obvious for many, but for me, it will be the final confirmation that Apple has moved on from the "digital hub" strategy of 1998 - 2007.
Remember when they made all this cool software to help sell Macs? With iPhone and iPad success this is simply not required any more.
I dont think this is right - they're not moving away from the digital hub, they're recreating a different digital hub - Apple isn't necessarily thinking how do we facilitate the creation of dvds so people can make home videos and share them with friends - they're going to the root - what's the best way of distributing videos - right now, upload to the internet is much faster and much more widely used then DVD burning.
Don't forget that in 1998 they dropped the floppy and people had the same attitude you do now. It's great being an Apple customer, they are on the frontline of new technology but they do drop fading technology first too. Pretty soon the usb drive itself will be dropped from the macs as well - what will be the alternative? idk - for flash drives maybe phones will be portable flashdrives connected through wifi or something - by the time they get rid of the superdrive all apple software will be either download or usb stick - no need - people will complain - 7 years later compaq computers wont have them either and we'll be laughing at them for finally catching up although they will then be behind. I have nothing against iDVD but like i said earlier it wont disappear, support will still be available for 3 years or so and iDVD will not disappear from your apps.
Anyway my point is i don't think apple is ignoring their user base - Steve Jobs said at one point "It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them."
In other words, they might be replacing the software with something that does that job better, and the job is not creating DVDs, the job is distributing media in a beautiful way - maybe we will see the an app in iLife that was rumored before about making something like the Movie extras, with menus and other content - similar to iDVD but then its to upload or stick somewhere else or on your apple tv or on your iphone or ipad - i don't know, i don't work for apple - that's why i pay them, to think for me and show me what i want, cause i don't know. I have ideas as to where things might end up but i really don't know for sure.
My 2 cents.

Actually it might be worth it to me if it would magically allow me to to stream files that weren't WMV. Then I'd buy it even if it wasn't painted black. :)

There are already some apps that do this subtly using other techniques.
'Labyrinth LE' is one that I know of right now, but it's just a way to make it look cooler. The gameplay doesn't depend on it. I look forward to seeing others push the limits like this. That one works when you move the iPad...this head-tracking one has the advantage of being able to leave the iPad on a table while you only move your head.
This could lead to some amazing games, like maybe one where you control something on the iPad with your iPhone as the controller and the screen on the iPad 'moves' based on how you move your head. You could literally look 'around' objects in the game while it sits propped up on a table in front of you.
Looks awesome!

nope. you'd need to own/be the IT guy of an educational institution
no, you can not.
you go to college or grad school, or become a teacher.Actually you can.
http://www.apple.com/education/store/
After you pick which school you go to you can make a purchase in either Individual or Institutional store. Still, you might be redirected by your school's "custom Mac" pick for their school. Ugh!

Mikey, I also have a late 2.8 Ghz machine, can you tell me the web url or part number of the 8 GB memory you ordered from Crucial.
I recommend buying your memory from MacSales. They're a high-quality supplier of memory, SSDs, and all sorts of other upgrades for Macs. They've noted this memory capacity mystery on the 2008 Unibody MacBook for years and finally sorted it out.
Crucial is a good vendor (and an advertiser here ;-) but I would give this business to MacSales. This page (http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3) lists the parts you need from them and has a link on how to ensure you have the firmware needed to access all 8GB of memory.

The billion dollar question: just content purchased from iTunes or all compatible (audio) files in one's iTunes library?
Get real, no way are the music labels going to allow them to do this unless they limit it to music purchased from iTunes.

I can't see where it says she 'jumps' on the windscreen like you are all saying.
"She kind of goes with the van to try to stop him, gets up on the hood and is hanging on to the wiper blade," said police spokesman Rex Osborn.
'Gets up on the hood' covers a variety of events. It could be that she stood arguing with him in the car park, and then he suddenly drove at her, and she couldn't get out of the way fast enough, and ended up on the hood.
'Hanging onto the wiper blade' implies that getting up on the hood was not an entirely voluntary act. It could be. Might not be. As Skunk says, we don't know.

I rarely have anything good to say about AT&T, but this app sounds like a potentially good use of crowdsourcing. The question, of course, is: will this incoming feedback actually be reviewed and acted upon by AT&T, or is this effort primarily to create the "illusion of responsiveness" and make us all just feel better.

For example: After some opt-in, your phone records its GPS locations, finds out what looks like driving based on speed etc., sends the data to Apple, where they use it to find streets that are not in their mapping software, and the most useful thing would be average speed data depending on the time of day. If you are in a traffic jam and want to be helpful, you press a button to send the information right now, not when you are near to some WiFi. So people can be directed on the best routes based on actual average speeds, and they can be sent around traffic jams in real time.
It's not a trivial problem, but not really _that_ difficult. If it ever goes over 30mph then it's a car, and if it doesn't stop at a stop sign then it's a bicycle :-) Seriously, it's quite possible to sort this out. And there are many iPhones around, so if you have some iPhones at 30 mph and some at 4 mph on the same road, then you know who are drivers and who are pedestrians. If iPhones move at an average of 3 mph through your favourite park, then turn-by-turn software won't direct car traffic there, whether it is pedestrians or enormous traffic jam.
Like Waze (http://www.waze.com/homepage/)... seriously Waze is the quintessential crowd sourced mapping application. Everyone should check it out. The one thing I think Apple could improve on is the map creation portion itself.

Sweet! Does 3g unrestrictor work for this too??
Don't know what that is (going to assume it's a jailbroken app), but the EyeTV app works officially in both 3G and Wi-fi environments.
And for all the newbies that can't turn on NAT-PMP, a screen shot is attached. It's exactly the same for AirPort Express too. If you don't have an Apple router, turn on UPNP in your router's settings (it's probably turned on by default). This is the same technology that requires "Back to My Mac" to work.

Ok, I have to share this with you, my MBP had difficulties reading some (not all) video DVDs. It would spin them up three times and then simply eject them, as if they were unreadable. My good old PowerBook G4, however, played them all without any problems.
This strange problem has been reported before in other forums, and the normal procedure was a replacement of the drive. Luckily, this need not be done anymore, as the new EFI update fixes this problem! I tested it with a number of DVDs that were repeatedly rejected before - all run fine!
