iPods Tuesday?

Status
Not open for further replies.
?¿?¿?¿?¿?

what time are updates usually announced in new york time?
i am only $75 away from the current 10GB with tax and hoping for pricedrops at least,
and i woul absolutly want
1)FM Reciever
2)Maybe another game (because hard as it migh sound to believe, breakout kinda gets boring after a while)

but mostly, a fix to the muchly talked about battery problem. what makes the problem is the clock. they just need to find a way to make the clock take up less battery life.

and of course, iTunes 4 with AAC capabilities
but no one listens to me because i'm only 13 with my birthday in 13 days.

In an unrelated question, why all the pissing contest sigs? I mean really wtf is the point of listing the bullsht you have? Well here's my contribution.

G4 QS Tower 733, 22" ACD, Small speakers?, 512MB RAM, 40GB HD, CD-RW OS X.2, OS 9.2.2

G3 (Beige) 333MHz, 192MB, 6GB HD, CDR, 19" Viewsonic Monitor (KVM)

Sun Ultra 10 SPARC IIi 360MHz (64bit), Solaris 8, 512MB RAM, 18.2GB HD (x2), CD-ROM, 19" Viewsonic Monitor (KVM)

Dual Pentium III 933, 1GB RAM, RAID 0 (2x) 60GB HD, Geforce 4 Ti4200 (64MB), Digital 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers (KVM), Win2000, 19" Viewsonic Monitor (KVM)

Athlon XP 2000+, 512MB DDR PC2700, RAID 0 (2x) 80GB 8MB Cache HDD, Geforce 4 Ti 4600 128MB, Digital 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers (KVM), Windows XP, 19" Viewsonic Monitor (KVM)

Athlon XP 1500+, 256MB DDR PC2100, 40GB HD, Geforce 2 MX 32MB, Digital 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers (KVM), Redhat 7.3, 19" Viewsonic Monitor (KVM)

Dell Inspiron 8100, Pentium III 1130, 512MB PC133, 40GB HD, Geforce 2 Go 32MB (DDR), DVD/CDRW, 15" UXGA Screen, WinXP/RedHat 7.3 Dual Boot

(I've got more but this is getting crazy)

I'm buying a Powerbook when the new 15" models come out, the 17" is too large (although sweet).

Oh I've got a Belkin KVM that does audio as well as the keyboard, video and mouse. I actually hook up my 19" to the apple as well so my desktop spans my 22" Cinema to my 19" Viewsonic (same height different width). Kind of cool. The funny thing was when I setup the 22" I just forgot to unplug the 19" and I use my KVM for the display only on my mac (before buying the ACD).

I love being a software engineer.
 
rumors are true?!

Just called the local Apple store... yes, they have current ipods in stock. Asked about updates coming out today - and the guy claimed ignorance. But... when I told him about my LOW CompUSA quote he was surprised (ie - maybe no price drop coming?) and then he said... "well wait a couple of days, rumors are sometimes true"
Hint? You decide...
:confused:

I only listen to music while at work (sports radio in the car or NPR). I have all my music in mp3's on my work computer (not shared) and on CD at my house.

I wish Ferrari's weren't so expensive. Modena is my next car (in otherword's I'll be driving the same car for a VERY long time).

I like the signature "pissing contest" post. However, the most ridiculous signature I have seen on these forums is from DavPeanut. The signature says "9th grader, 800 on SAT Math (in 8th Grade)."

Now, I know this kid is too young to know it yet, but numbers do not mean a thing in the grand scheme. My academic numbers have always been very good (graduated from a highly ranked business undergrad program, obtained a lucrative professional position, now attending graduate school), but you don't see me posting them at the end of every post I put on a message board (that minor tidbit about my background is hopefully the most I will ever write about it).

Unless you can develop valuable marketable skills, such as the ability to conduct yourself professionally and network effectively, then an 800 on your SAT Math plus $300 bucks will get you a 5GB iPod (or 10GB if this stupid rumor ever comes to be).

Sorry to get so far off topic, but that signature has been annoying me whenever I see it.

That was my point. Plus as you can see my pee-pee is very small by my hardware list. Fortunately my wife doesn't seem to care! I guess making 250k/year in oklahoma keeps her happy?!?! My High School GPA 1.7 (I got a 31 on the ACT), my College GPA 2.87 (Failed every class my partying first 2 semesters - damn you hot college girls!!!).

In the end nothing (material) matters. Not your hardware, income, cars, houses, or anything else. All that matters is your friends and you are a Mac user. Everything else is just a waste of effort (except the Ferrari).
 
MacWhispers leaving the game...

MacWhispers has posted a note on their website that they are officially leaving the rumors game. And, to think, they were one of the originators of much of this "imminent release of iPods" buzz...

Chalk one up for the veterans of this site for calling for patience absent any substantial rumors. Let this entire last month of iPod speculation be a lesson regarding the future of Apple releases.

I don't have anything else to put, and when people are agruing over the answer to a math problem, they believe what I post.

You said that if I can do something that makes money, its important. Just so you know, I'm about to start a wireless ISP. :p

Thank you for that post, I have wanted to say that for a while now.

Why should anyone really care about your SAT math score? I mean, this is not the Mensa message board. Why don't you put your IQ score in the sig :rolleyes: ? I'm also in high school and even I know you don't brag about this in such a forum. It is just tacky and without class.

iPod wise - I think it has to be any day now until new updates. I'll be the first to buy a new 10 gig (or maybe even 20).

Some of us might just like our own (who are not female). ;)
 
Some rainman said "Tuesday, definately Tuesday" for iPod updates happening on Feb 18. That was repeated again for the 25th. I was actually surprised how prevalent the attitude, "Yes Tuesday" has been throughout this thread. Why?

Maybe Apple is planting false release dates, to track leaks, and make all such prognostication based on whatever data, totally unreliable.

My tendancy has been, even when an item has been officially announced, not believe it until I see it (although I might pre-order).

I need a new firewire 120gb drive and ram so I need to get rid of a toy...my wife also has a 20gb iPod so we won't be totally without.

Sales tax varies by locale, up to 10% is common. You may miss out on warranty and localization for Switzerland on your iPod if so, and there may be some sort of import duty taking it back home.
