More from Apple this Week?

Well, last week I was overly optimitstic about iTMS expansion and hardware upgrades... this week I'll take more of a "wait and see"-mentality... :rolleyes:

I haven't even gotten my Tigers, yet...

There are so many different flags that I don't think there's a connection to iTMS. I found the following flags: Argentina, Chile, Mexico, South Africa, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, China, India, Hungary, Poland and Turkey. However, I couldn't find Brasil, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Slovenia. So there's no logic pattern. I guess it's not hard to predict that some of the countries I listed abover are not a likely candidate for an iTMS in the short term.

This Folder is linking from the home directory-Pictures-Folder ... BUT: this Images aren't the same Flaggs than the iTMS Flaggs ... for example the swiss-one: the iTMS one has a stronger color, the white cross is bigger and it is more curved! ... I also don't think there's a connection to the iTMS!

No, there probably isn't. The flags are located in ~/Library/Application Support/Apple/iChat icons/Flags

They seem to be nothing more than icons for iChat. But don't give up your hope people! :eek:
 
I doubt iBooks will get updated in this coming batch. Most rumor sites agree and the iBook ships in 1-2 buisness days, whereas the iMac and the eMac are still 5-7.

But who knows.

CH stands for Confoederatio Helvetica. CH is not only Switzerland's TLD but also our international post and car codes. The Latin translation for "Swiss Confederation" was chosen in order to not favour one of the country's four official languages.

It doesn't look very bright for iBooks this batch, what I would do in your situation is wait till the end of the week (or when ever you need to order it by) and order it. You will enjoy it no matter what. It does however look pretty grim for ibook this week.

Maybe you could shell out a little more for a PB?

As Nermal Pointed out I should also be keeping my fingers crossed for NZ and Denmark - Go you guys too.

I was looking at the QT 7 Pro page and one of the features struck me as a possible addition to iTunes 4.8

New AAC constant-quality mode. Create AAC audio files optimized for constant quality for a consistently high-quality listening experience.

Maybe VBR AAC encoding in iTunes 4.8? Here's a hopin'

(Keepin' those fingers crossed)

I'm looking forward to that too! I spent so much time looking for a VBR AAC for Mac OS X, but they're all source and very confusing to compile and run...

To buy or not to buy?

First post from a future partial switcher (I have a home built 3ghz pc...when you don't deal with the dell crap, they're not so bad). I am kind of stuck right now, I need to get a powerbook before september, so I can't wait till the Paris show (which I am planning on attending), but I want to pick up a 12" Powerbook. Through a good friend I have 25% off, so I am not worried about a price drop. I heard from another friend of the possibility of a better Powerbook update in June...is that gonna happen, or should I just order it now and enjoy? Any advice would be great.
 
4.8 & QT?

Anyone think that perhaps Apple will use iTunes 4.8 as a platform to push out the new version of QT to Windows users? And of course, don't forget that 4.8 has to have a fix to the Harmony issue.

It seems there are no imminent upgrades for the PB line so it really depends on your needs. If you buy it now you get a great peace of hardware anyway, the aluminum series has been on the market for a while by now and you should be relatively sure you get a mature product whilst getting the very latest interface ports. If you don't really need it now you might wait but than somebody could suggest you to wait for the new product to be well tested.
The point is you'll know, it's an endless trade-off.
I got a 15" last week and am more than happy, if you want it go ahead and get one! :)
 
Unless your doing hard gamning or editing, which the PB isn't made for (is it?), then buying one now wouldn't be a problem. My dad bought a big 17 PB 2 monthes and loves it, I think it is way to big and I feel right at home on my year old 12er. I am totally content with my PB and it should last me a long time.

I am just waitng for the iMac update to have a desktop (or lack of one) computer. You could wait to the end of week to buy just to see if apple pulls any funny tricks out, but buy soon. You will be happy.
