Apple fanbois, writing for The Register?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!
Re: Good grief
No, no really Richard. The iMac's specs and features are better than more than half of the machines compared here.
Waste of time
You spend an article bashing Apple for its price and features, yet its cheaper than half of the others, has the best GPU, the best screen and 3rd best CPU (but you got the upgrade option in the Dell).
Plus, as your article proves, its still the benchmark for AIO desktops.
Correction
Innovation, no "s" on there.
I won't buy one
Simple because of this.
Thats all we need
"You will have a dedicated game DVR capable of capturing those magic moments and saving them to the cloud,"
More losers "pwning" people. FYI, nobody cares about you playing your game.
Um, no.
"we hasten to add that $9bn is also nearly enough to build Apple's planned "spaceship" headquarters ... twice."
Even the One World Trade Center, built on one of the world's most expensive land plots, didn't cost that much.
97% are ignorant
The sun and Earth's elliptical orbit is to blame, simple as that.
Re: Let's see....
Thats great, lets us know when you can install any useful programs or popular games.
In other words...
Laptop makers would make better products if they made better quality products.
Who cares?
Even Apple can't access the data and doesn't know what the data is.

Wow
$60 for a 23 year old video game!? I bought it over 20 years ago, why should I pay for the same game again?
No, really?
Alcohol is bad? Ya don't say? You had to do a whole study to figure that out?
Imagine that
The sun heats the climate and the weather changes.
How, exactly, are they mocking Apple in any way?
They are actually mocking themselves; trying to figure a way to make their product copy somebody elses as close as possible without directly violating copyright/trademark laws or paying for the right to use the name or likeness.
That immoral business practice cost them $1b last time.....
$1000
Really, $1000 for an iPod with a big screen? Do you REALLY need to hold 15 1080p movies at the same time?
RFID
This is great! All you need is an RFID scanner and you've got people's credit card details!
So, no good films then? – Ed
Ed, please keep your personal opinions out of articles. This is a journalistic website, not a blog.
Re: not many?
There is no cure. People are who they are. Ex: People that like to drive fast will always drive fast no matter how many speeding tickets they get, the "good" ones will simply learn how to recognize trap areas and better evade detection.
Any "treatment" you give them will just be BS'd through and nothing will change except how they go about venting their desires.
Re: not many?
Its likely that the 2100 figure is either how many have game accounts with those companies or how many of the total sex offenders had crimes against children.
Dangerous lines
This is extremely offensive. These people paid their debt and being a sex offender does not automatically mean they are a pedophile.
Besides, registered sex offenders are people that got caught. The REAL dangerous people know how to avoid detection and cover their tracks.
Weather effects?
What about the weather disturbances caused by all those wind turbines slowing the surface airflow and solar panels absorbing the sun's heat?
Where?
Where is your article crying about how Chromebooks can't run Windows?
In the end
Yet in the end, Asus and Lenovo are both simply trying to copy Apple's Macbook Air.
Not possible
There is no way to avoid the internet today, let alone in 6 years.
This isn't 1998, pre-paid smart phones and laptops can be easily hidden and used where/when ever is convenient for him.
More than half the students around him likely have a smart phone. All it takes is "hey, can I borrow that a minute" and he is on the internet anywhere at any time.
Jail time would be far easier.
Old tech
In December, Ivy Bridge will be 9 months old.
The 768GB SSD will be a $1300 option. Along with the CPU and GPU options, are you ready to pay $3700 for 9 month old tech?
Why does it still have a chin? If they are looking to improve the design, making it a bit thicker and deleting the chin would be a FAR better choice!
The Mini was a downgrade by deleting the GPU.
The 13" MBP is a poor deal with only dual-core options and no GPU. Might as well save $400 and get the Air.
The iPad Mini is a joke with it's low-res screen. The iPhone 5 has more pixel height in it's 4" screen.
No news on the 2.5 year old MacPro.
Overall an extremely disappointing event with no hardware I'd consider buying.
Reboot?
Must be a PC thing. My Mac was last reset in Mid-August, only because I finally decided to install the latest Safari update. My PowerMac G5 has been running for the last 6 months, only because of a power outage long enough to make the UPS shut it down.
Only 5 million in the first weekend?
How will they recover their capital investment at that rate?
No go
Maps is a deal-breaker for me. I'll be sticking with iOS5 on my 3GS.
Posted in Dr Who shoves BitTorrent in the Tardis
BT is still the preferred choice
ABC= Commercial interruptions, watch on their time schedule, watch once.
BT= No ads of any kind, watch when when you want, watch again any time in the future.
What is "presumably not so fantastic" about BT again?
So many options for failure.
Riding the bus or riding as a passenger will send false alarms and piss off a lot of already hormone insane teenagers.
Re: "Not a PC" What? You are not suggesting that Apple will *copy* this are you?
Please sir, point out exactly what computer the Macbook Air is "reverse engineered" from.
A netbook? Even those things were twice as thick as the first Air and none looked or functioned even remotely like it.
Ultrabook sales are forecast to grow 92 per cent compounded through to 2017.
For ultrabook sales to "compound", there must first be ultrabooks to buy.
Apple's Macbook Air is not an ultrabook, everyone else is just trying their best to copy it without directly saying so. Just like the iMac, iPod, iPhone and iPad.

Re: Carbon Copy Cloner is no longer freeware
Nope. Have the absolute latest 3.5.1 and it works as described.
The problem is PayPal itself.
The problem isn't really a matter of functionality, it's a matter of PayPal and eBay being greedy and unethical in their business practices.
When eBay stopped allowing money orders as an acceptable form of payment and forced PayPal or local pickup as the only options for individuals, I stopped using eBay.

Retina
Because it would have competed with the 15" model and stole its thunder. A 13" retina is ready to be released if you have watched the Mac news sites.
They didn't overcharge
Its called "profit margin" in the business world.
Disable ads
I clicked on the "Hide all from GM" button over a year ago. AdBlockPlus catches the normal web ads.
Oh....
So suddenly CO2 isn't the cause of "global warming", its methane? These climate "scientists" need to make up their minds on the best way to scare money out of gullible people.
I've never heard of it
Its a free app, how does that translate into being worth $1 billion dollars?
Apple paid $200m for Siri and its a far more complicated, valuable and useful product.
Come on, seriously, $1 billion dollars for an app that makes your pictures look old-timey?
Posted in Ice age end was accelerated by CO2
How ironic
First they said we will cause "global warming" with CO2. That was proven to be incorrect.
Now they are backpedaling to the 70's and again saying we will case an "ice age" with CO2.
"Climatologists", please make up your mind which method you want to scare people into giving you money.
I find it more shocking...
I find it more shocking that he had the testicles to come back and ask for a cut of the children's money!

Re: How will US poor demand affect a European launch?
Toyota Rav-4 EV: Nobody wanted it.
GM EV1: Extremely expensive to make.
Ford Ranger EV: Nobody wanted it.
Honda EV Plus: Nobody wanted it.
Any website that participates
I will never support any website that participates in this childish and moronic "blackout". No more donations to Wikipedia!
Or.....
You could simply not be jerk and not jam your door into other people's cars. Problem solved, no clutch need.
No thanks.
I'll keep my pre-computer cars that get 30mpg. The only transistors in them are the radio.
Posted in Apple MacBook Air 11in Core i5 notebook
1.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 with 3MB shared L3 cache
Last I checked, dual core was not quad core.
Its not $69
Snow leopard (Required to download the Lion update): $30
Lion: $30
That leaves the 8GB USB drive costing $9.
You also get the benefit of not having to install Snow Leopard first as you do with the downloaded update. Leopard users can update directly without having to buy Snow Leopard.
Please try to get your math right before just outright "bashing" something you don't understand.
So.....
....that makes you very technically illiterate.
