All I have to say don't hope too much about graphic card like the radeon 9000. They have include a new one in the last revision and as we all know, the graphic card in mac model are ALL oudated card selling at too high price.
What the ***** you think somebody can do with a GForce 2 MX right now? it's slow as hell! but they keep it in the iMac! The GForce 4 MX is base on the GForce 2 MX with few add-on no big difference there! the tower with the GForce 4 Ti are the only reasonnable thing you could get, the radeon 9000 is good for the iMac not the pro tower damn! and we still have the lower RAM possible on each card at the higher price!
Video card on the Mac is, for my point of view, the BIGGEST Godzila flaw.
It's no more true that life lenght of Mac are longer then PC becaus of video card. And we still can't buy newest video card from ATI (wow a 8500, not bad but no ADC really cool! they hold the 9000 pro with a big 64 VRAM, and for when the 9700, probably never) or nVidia (don't sell at all, except the GForce 4 Ti on the apple store wich are really overprice, even after a years the price aren't moving!)
I'm thinking to switch to PC and run Linux soon, I'm tired of all this. Bad bad sad thing, I really love Mac OS X wich is formidable, why can't we have decent hardware to go with this at a reasonnable price since around 85% of the piece in a Mac are PC components? I know developping and research cost a lot, but I'm tired to pay for iPhoto, iTunes or iDon'tcare when I buy a video card, when I buy my computer hardware! damn sold the soft separetly please!

Yeah it looks like 360 online is the swinger. I'll go for that version I think.
2 more points - PS3- TrueHD
Other than that both are pretty much identical. Graphically you'd be hard pushed to know which was which, both are running at upto 1080p, ;) ;)

I hope they don't call this Apple's flagship Toronto store.
At only 4000 square feet, it's not a flagship store by any measure.
Toronto is supposedly getting a third store later this year, at Sherway Gardens...I haven't seen any word on store size.

The education buying season is over. Teachers and Board of Ed. members will be sleeping when Jobs is on the stage.

DRM= digital rights management= copy protection
I'm also quite surprised that Apple DRMs the songs as they are downloaded. All it takes is a hack into the servers housing the music and there goes the neighborhood.
The music has to be stored un-DRMed which is a huge risk for the iTMS or Napster or any other online store. The difference is when it gets the DRM added to it. If it gets the DRM at the server before its sent out for download, then this will solve the problem. But either way, the music has to be stored without any DRM somewhere and hacking into the servers would indeed be trouble

Despite the fact I have heard a very reputable person put it in that time frame just looking at past history IBM said Sahara would be sampling Q1 2002. By 05/2002 it was in iBooks.

I will have been registered a year in 3 weeks, but I know I only have about 270 posts. I try not to post anything unless I have knowledge or a strong opinion on something, however, I read many more than I respond to and so I seem in the background. I bet there are a lot of "vets" that are the same way.

I see that IGN did a head to head for MLB 2K7 PS3 v 360. Gamespot stated in their review that they prefer the 360 version. Anyone play both and have an opinion?

Just a thought here (not anything more than a concept computer)...
What if the Cube were shrunk?
I've taken a look at the Cube at several occasions and the one thing that I dislike the most is the size. It is actually too big. Granted, it's not remotely close to the relative monstrosity of my PowerMac, but I still think that it could shave off a few cubic inches.
1. Mini DVD Drive
This would allow the Cube to decrease in size immensely. Mini CDs and DVDs are only 80mm (roughly 3 inches). Most software is still on conventional CDs, and so the miniature DVD would still be able to hold more than a CD. Granted, most developers wouldn't appreciate the switch to DVDs.
2. G3 Processor
The 750FX produces very little heat and consumes very little power in comparison to the G4. Performance wouldn't be the issue of my concept-Cube.
3. Laptop Hard Drives
Yes, they're slower, but they consume less power and also produce less heat. However, they would likely be suitable for non-Power users and simple iMovie work.
4. Fewer Ports
If you need more, buy a USB or FireWire hub. Cynical yes, but space saving, also yes.
Well, that's my dream cube. It's not much.

If it is old, you will hopefully notice that it says subject to change without notice at the very bottom.
We could work out the year by it says that up to 700Mhz are shipping, I can't remember when this was, but I'm sure someone will. This date will tell us how old it is arn.
The earliest it could be was when we had the 450's and 500's as that arrow is completely blue.
