After checking out many of these photos and from previous threads I learned that simplicity and lighting really introduce a really nice setup.
Tip 1: If you have an iMac get back lighting to have the back of the iMac glow. This is very cheap to be done.
Tip 2: Get a modern wooden table/ glass table. Here is a link to the desk I have that is really modern.

Or for the same one for cheaper

Tip 3: Have stands for your i Devices such as the iPad and iPhone 4 with the dock that apple sells & have them side by side with the iMac or desktop.
Tip 4: Dark Walnut or lightwood are the modern colored wood that people like to choose. Redwood is a fancy type color and is not clarified modern so don't get that color if you are looking to having a modern setup.
Tip 5: As I said from Tip 1 for your iMac but this is towards the whole setup. Get a modern light that really lights up your whole setup.
Tip 6: Modern framless paintings on the wall of your setup is a great ad-on. Here is a great website to find some modern paintings for cheap.

Tip 7: Rather than selling your old iMac use it as a second monitor side by side with the new iMac that you purchased. (The more displays, the more productivity and real-estate you get).
Tip 8: get a modern computer chair. Here is a nice one.

Thats about it.
I actually have the glass desk I linked you to but my setup isn't ready yet so I won't be posting my iMac,iPad, iPhone setup yet.
Need the backlighting iMac and more overall lighting on my setup.

So macbook pros are next, (with a 20" screen size :D )
Apple is now all dual-core technology.
WOOT WOOT WOOT!
Can't wait for the macbook pros.

Last I checked, Wal*Mart sells iPods (Shuffles at least), correct? So a victory in the iPod dep't is a victory for Wal*Mart....?
Okay, probably not. Still, Wal*mart could try to work out some sort of deal with Apple as well... but that's unlikely.
Poor Wal*Mart. After ol' Sam kicked the bucket, the company just hasn't been the same. Now his greedy kids are turning it into an evil empire.

I also think that whoever has the remaining rights to this material realise that its shelf-life is almost up. In 5-10 years time, the broad appeal of much of this material may have less relevance to the average consumer and its perceived market-value may be far less.
That's not a comment on the merits of The Beatles' music; just my view based on many of the comments I read by what I am assuming are younger music listeners.
I'm 43, many of these songs are ingrained into my memory from childhood, but the only Beatles albums I would possibly be interested in are maybe 2-4 remastered CDs; I'm not interested in downloads at all. But to be honest, I don't feel that by not currently owning them that my music collection is lacking at all.

These are really tempting... everybody talks about the GPU being disappointing, but coming from my 1 GHz 12" G4 I am sure this thing would still run WoW a whole heck of a lot better than what I have now!
But I still hold out hope for a reincarnation of the 12" form factor. I love the portability. Maybe it'll be an iMac to replace the aging desktop and keep the PowerBook for travelling...

So can someone explain to me why they have to get Verizon's permission to offer system upgrades over the air, when you can already go in the app store and download Angry Birds over the air? Seriously, this would be a security boon to be able to push updates without tethering them to a computer. Many people don't sync their iPhones for weeks at a time, but they are on them daily. If you can push out security updates sooner, then it is a good thing for everyone involved. And I would wager there's waaaaay more bandwidth being sucked up by iTunes and the App Store than system updates would require.
OTA update notifications are carrier initiated messages.
The carrier also caches the updates on their systems for retrieval by the consumer. I'm sure Apple would love to not have to deal with the traffic spikes every time an update were to roll out.
This way updates can be rolled out by region to prevent a massive surge in data traffic on the carriers network. This is also helpful if the carrier were to allow the update to be done completely over 3G if the consumers chooses that option.
AT&T updates only require a WiFi connection to start an OTA download, but once the download is started, the update will complete downloading over 3G if you were to lose your WiFi connection.

It is. Got mine yesterday. It looks fab, but above all it sounds like my old ( and broken) shuffle. And that's good. No, it's excellent.
Yeah, the sound is GREAT. It seems to have better sound than my previous iPods. (2nd Gen. mini, 4th and 5th Gen. iPod)

Single? There are multiple?
what are you talking about?
once you sync your iDevice to one itunes account, you can't plug it into a different computer and transfer their photos, apps, music, etc. to your device without completely restoring it to that itunes account. This has nothing to do with never charging your phone.

Nice update for those who want an iMac. Decent bump for the Mac mini too..
I'm sure the MBP will be updated soon and possibly the MB..
Like many others, I'm waiting for something more powerful and expandable than a Mac mini, but not as expensive as a Mac Pro and does not have an integrated LCD like an iMac (I have a 24" Dell already).
Something like:
1.83 Ghz Core Duo 2 (Conroe)
512 gig Ram (4 memory slots)
160Gig 3.5" SATA Drive (and one additonal empty bay)
Dual Layer Superdrive
PCIe Video Card (ATI X1600 or NVidia 7300GT)
1 additional PCI slot
Bluetooth/Airport
in something like a mini-tower case (about 2/3 size of Mac Pro)
Starting about what the iMac starts at ($1199)... With a more loaded one
2.16Ghz, 1Gig Ram, 250Gig HD, better video (say 7600GT) going up to $1599 or so...
Crossing my fingers for the 12th!

With the 5th anniversary of the iPod, Newsweek spoke with Steve Jobs (http://msnbc.msn.com/id/15262121/site/newsweek/) about the iPod, iTunes Store and Zune as a potential threat.
According to Jobs, one major reason for the iPod's success was its relative simplicity:
Appetizer Pizza Recipe.
Recipe: Easy Cheese Pizza
The recipe is simple:

Why wasn't I surprised it was you who gave this answer...
sigh
You aren't very good at this. Consequently, I'm sure I must explain why:
You consistently post unsubstantiated claims of which you know nothing about, often in direct opposition to demonstrable facts, such as this one (http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=12258124&postcount=9), this one (http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=11846466&postcount=52), this one (http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=11681351&postcount=74), and this one (http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=11681229&postcount=60). As such, it's not surprising when you post a reply that follows the same theme: denying the existence of anything that negatively portrays the products or services you are personally invested in.
It's a pattern born from the same insecurity that would cause one to name himself after said product.
Your attempt at trolling me doesn't even make sense because the referenced posts don't have any similarities.

If this works out and a Beatles iPod does come out with a commercial alongside I can almost guarantee you the song will be Revolution.
As someone said earlier... Come Together. That's my bet.

They definitely just need to have an update to 220 GBs that was previously discussed here. Idk what I'd do. The biggest iPod Touch is way too small and way more money.

They had only one which they were trying to see if the customer was going to pick up (bought at another store), but while the clerk was calling to check on it's status they did say that i'd have to by an accessory and apple care if it became available.
These guys are dirty. I didn't feel all that good about going there to get one anyhow, I've never been a fan of their over priced stuff. This was the icing on the cake.
This blatant greed really turns me off, I wont be back ... for one of these or anything else.

The usual answer would be: start with a new source, and compress that to 640x480. If you start with a video that's already 320x240, you can't expect it to look better if you later try to re-encode it to a larger screen size. Can't get data from nowhere... can't get blood from a stone.
I think the person was referring to content they already pruchased from iTunes store. In which case, as I posted before, I too am wondering this same question. Looks like I will have to send Apple an email.

mac mini is up there too.
Edit: is that a new black ipod (possibly video, maybe nano) right next to it?
Edit 2: the banner is not finished yet too, the macbook pro is only half done. maybe a more guarded part of wwdc. it looks like they can fit a bunch more stuff over at the edge. Edit 4: it looks like that edge is just a walkway. but who knows, maybe they could put stuff on it at the edge, above the walkway.
Edit 3: one of the ipods is on its side, maybe to hide the upcoming design.

Well it sounds like Apple wants to release all of their iOS devices (the iPad, iPod and iPhone) at the same time, a month or two before christmas, and a month or two after their new iOS release.
That way, they can make everything uniform.
A new iOS is shown every summer. Then a few months later, once developers are used to use, and all the bugs are fixed, a round of iOS devices built around the new OS debut, and people buy them up like crazy for the next several weeks to give as Christmas gifts.
That doesn't make sense from a revenue angle for them. By lumping all their releases in a narrower window, they don't get the more consistent spread out over the year press coverage, media buzz, and most importantly, buying. If all iOS devices came out so close together, people would have to prioritize which one to get as they typically won't spend the money on multiple devices in such a short timeframe. By keeping them spread out, someone can justify buying an iPad in the spring, an iPhone in mid to late summer and an iPod at the holidays, etc. And others will opt to get their devices in different combinations and sequences. Having a new iPad released this March didn't hurt Apple's iPad sales last Christmas, nor will it do so this Christmas, so releasing a new one in the fall won't help them. Steve even said that 2011 will be the year of the iPad 2. Not the iPad 2 and 3. There are already supply issues with panels and Apple is paying a premium to secure larger supplies of panels to keep iPad 2 production up. That points to an iPad retina display being a spring 2012 upgrade.

Like many like minded Apple users (I love this group), I am one that does not shop at Wal Mart. It's buisness model is to undercut and ruin other buisnesses.
Regardless of the fact that I live in the state that is home of Target Corporation, I simply do not like Wal Mart. I have listened to stories from Contractors in southern states say not so comforting things about that company. One of the companies that we work with was not alloud to have any women or African Americans working on job sites related to building Wal Mart buildings. If the companies were caught with such employees they were fined thousands of dollars!
Wal Mart an KMA (figure it out yourself), besides if they stop selling Cds and DVD's it really wouldn't matter to me anyway, as I don't buy from them!
