OT: new Mac Pros are here

Finally; all octo-core lineup up to 3.2Ghz w/ SSE4, PCIe 2.0, 1600 Mhz buses, 800 Mhz ram up to 32 GB, 8800 GT option. Only thing really missing is a blu-ray burner.

I'm not a fan of the format either, but you've got to be able to come up with a way to disparage the format without insulting a hell of a lot of people.

That said, as much as I can't stand the format, it looks like Sony is finally going to get its widely accepted proprietary format.

As far as technical specs, I DO prefer blu-ray. But as far as company politics, ease of manufacturing, manufacturing cost, royalty fees, lack of DRM, and pretty much everything else, I much prefer HD-DVD.

I keep hearing the slimmed down MacBooks are supposed to be pretty cool. That seemed to be the weak link in the lineup, but they have so much new technology with their other products I'll bet the new MacBook will be nice (and small).

Also hoping that they have some sort of deal where we can upgrade our iPhones when they move to a faster technology. Although it's pretty darn fast, I can easily surf RC and other sites anywhere - and it picks up Wi-Fi.

LOL thank goodness!

yeah I don't care for it when im off the "Edge" network, I would also like to see them get the shockwave plug in working. If I do fall off the edge network and im on the phone, my phone drops the call and I can not call back until I power the phone off and back on and get connected again to the edge network. Other wise the phone will not dial out or allow a call in. That is honestly my only complaint with the phone. I should take it in and see if there is a problem with the phone. I love it other wise, I use all the features all the time with my business. I stopped taking a note book with me to take notes at meetings, i just put them directly into the notes.

More graphical websites are brutal on the phone when not connected to the Wi-Fi I have found. RC loads great and I love checking it while im riding in the car (passenger) even when your not on a Wi-Fi. I do love that it searches and grabs any and all Wi-Fi spots though I snag peoples not secure Wi-Fi all the time

Now if a company would come out with a phone that has the bluetooth headset as part of the phone so don't have to carry two things, that would be great!!!
