Its kind of a duh thing.
apple was the really the only successful computer maker to provide a tablet that people actually wanted. They couldn't keep them in stock.
The competition wasn't about to take that lying down and so by the end of 2010 other tablets have started hitting the market.
In apple's marketshare will decrease even further as other computer makers ready their answer to the iPad.
The competition is driving everyone to improve their products, so the winners are the consumers. Features are added and prices remain constant.

Another question:
...Tired of my company Websites looking like a third grader did them.
The site you listed in your profile? I don't think a third grader could make that. Maybe a fourth grader, but definately not a third grader.;)

although its really, really bad luck what your cat did, it sounds like a logic board problem, but even if you were still in warranty, apple dont cover water spills. i hope its not too bad for you though. best take it to the apple store and have it checked.

yes but if you say that the best human chess players can think 200 moves ahead and that is the measure of intelligence then isn't a machine that can think ahead thousands of moves therefore defined to be more intelligent?
If that is your measure of intelligence, then sure. But that is a very, very narrow measure and it only applies in very limited circumstances. Chess is a game tightly bound by logical rules and a limited game board (64 squares). Yet humans become good at chess by strategizing, not by memorizing moves. We do things like predict what the opponent is going to do, we can do psychological tricks like making moves that capitalize on the opponent's greed, stuff like that. We are doing more than simply looking ahead at the next X possible variations of the game and choosing the most optimal path.
That kind of processing works when there are limited options, but fails with open-ended scenarios (such as trivia question and answer).
When I ask you a trivia question you don't need to expend processing power trying to sort through thousands of possible interpretations of the question and then performing a statistical analysis to determine which is the most probable. Or maybe you do, but your brain does all kinds of filtering and association automatically and instantly. This is something that computers can't do yet. They can simulate it by essentially brute-forcing the answer so quickly that it seems like they're thinking, but they're not. Yet.
Watson has incredible natural language processing and data search abilities, and it looks like a fair bit of semantic knowledge processing. It's impressive, absolutely. But is it intelligent? No.

I reported him to the moderators, and he was banned shortly after. I think his banning is justified. He was spamming, plain and simple. If you don't have anything meaningful to add, don't post.

I've recently bought a 120GB Vertex 2 for my MB, and I want to be sure on how to upgrade from the old HDD to SSD.
My issue: I've lost my OS installation disc.
I'm unsure on how to copy the OS onto an external drive and restore.
Sorry, I'm an Apple noob.

for the past week I have been having problems accessing my homepage on .mac I can see my pages when I connect to my idisk and if I have a different site on there I can get to it by typing the full address with the folders etc.
But I can not upload to it via iPhoto I keep getting network errors on multiple machines.
When I get to the .mac home screen after I log in I get this under Homepage where the stats used to be
"HomePage
Your information could not be displayed. Click here to try again."
Then when I click on homepage link in the blue bar I get this message
"You removed the site named appleguy_nz in a previous work session. Please try again." But I havent deleted anything.
anything I should try.
any Ideas people?
Thanks

I might be able to get my hands on a few copies of the NEW Super Mario Bros for DS for a little less than retail. Would anyone be interested in a copy at $30 shipped?

O, speaketh not the name of Satan, for he shalt truly bring despair to us all...or, at least, yet another horrible movie.
Director?? Nay, the Destroyer of IP is he.
I hear if you say his name five times in the mirror - he appears behind you and casts you in one of his movies.... A fate 1 million times worse than death..... :D

You should be getting that Radeon 9800 Pro any day now. =)
Thanks :D I can't wait to play around with it for awhile before the computer gets sold. A family issue has caused me to need extra finances asap so the computer has to go :( Place your bids everyone!

Hey, I'm designing a wedding invite for my cousin using adobe illustrator and it needs to be printed on both sides.
I'm in Australia and she's in England so I'll be sending her the file(s) and she'll have to organise the printing. I was wondering if theres anything I need to do to prepare it to be printed on both sides or is it just a case of having a separate document for each side to take to the printer and they'll work out the printing and lining up both sides?
Thanks in advance.

As long as they take people away from that gawd awful uncompliant MSIE crap I don't care who else they take out. I'm so sick and tired of having to go out of my way to support that stupid browser, when every other one works perfectly.

Yup, if I had to guess, I'd say most Americans don't live near an Apple Store.
I'm lucky to live between two Apple stores.
One is in a 6% sales tax state, the other in a 0% sales tax state.
Both are literally 35 minutes away.

Is there something similar to memtest86 that will thoroughly test the RAM inside the Mac ??
Since memtest86 is a bootdisk with some operating system compiled for Intel i386 processors, I am using memtest86 to test my (Intel) Macs RAM. Doesn't it work like this on yours?

SMP2 will also bring a bonus to crunch units faster, same as bigadv scheme.
