And why does it come with a Bic lighter again?
what a fucking let down, is that supposed to be portable and shit? that shit will be great when one of nates wookie friends thinks its the cooler and pours ice all over it, and most like likely pukes in it as well, and maybe gives it a hump or two
No MacTivo.
No Video iPod.
No iPod Phone.
Boo.
This one looks better
AAPL dropped 2.25 today. 'nuff said.
edited to add:
oops..ODub covered it
this is not a joke
my friend has one, i have no fucking idea why he bought it, he treats his ipod like its his kid, especially when it doesnt work right
= $349 ???????
what an expensive microwave poptard machine!
It would have been a slam dunk if they put TIVO-like functionality into the mac mini. There must be some reason they can't other than technical. Either they don't want to tick off the media conglomerates, or it's just not an area they want to cover. They probably don't want to give consumers encoding ability for video like they do with audio.
Eventually I believe they will get more involved in video, or somebody will get them involved. In fact, after some digging I did find A HREF="http://www.mythtv.org">mythTV, which looks promising, but you still need to run the server on a linux machine.
Only thing that is cool is the mini has optical sound I/O. You can bet the audiophile / home theater nerds are going to get super wood over that.
Boo x 2.
Oh my......
that doesnt even partially make sense. People will still buy it i guess though. Apple is caking up.
Not really 'nuff said there Odub, you're leaving some things out...
AAPL also dropped 5 when the video iPod was announced, and recouped all of the loss and even posted gains the next day. Stocks like AAPL that preannounce the fact that they are making an "announcement" will frequently drop when the announcement is made, an example of the classic adage of "buy the rumor sell the news".
Also, GOOG roiled the entire market today by announcing they see growth slowing, so AAPL really didn't stand a chance.
Those products aren't exactly the greatest things ever, but tomorrow's action really is more telling than today's.
I hope your (smarter) analysis bears out. My family's got way too much scrill invested in AAPL right now.
that poor fella badly needs a hat to match..reminds of someone on here`s pics a while back with the matching socks,hat...everything.
yeah, but you get 6 different colors in a pack!!
that makes it like, what?, $5 per sock! what a bargain!!!
DID YOU GET ON THAT?
Not to mention, why would anyone spend all that on what is essentially the same docking bay/speaker system that Target already stocks like 5 different versions of?
Don't get me started on the socks, skins, 'leather' cases etc, all of which retail roughly for at LEAST $25 and up. People will feel like chumps when those $25 rubber skins are 5 for a buck at Dollar Tree in 2 years time. Course by then, the accessory money will have been made.
I was thrilled to find those stupid iPod condoms that actually FIT the new ones for 3 for $20 at radio shack. The Apple store was asking $25 FOR ONE. Assholes.
There will always be savvy shoppers like yerself but companies gotta find ways to make money. The privledged will always buy out of convenience, and if that means stepping into a ___________ store and instantly getting dipped, so be it.
Getting discounts at Radio Shack is a good look though, werd em up.
TIME IS MONEY
MONEY IS TIME
DEAL WITH IT
UGH

DIVERSIFY!
seriously, dont fuck yourself over and come crying back to soulstrut.
