Am I the only one who thinks the multiplayer stinks? (team slayer)
Judging by the playlist populations, yes, you are in a very small minority. Team Slayer is, and always has been, the most popular playlist.
There's no guns to switch, the jet pack is a total crap I'll just fly around and you can't shoot me and you can't kill me because there is no rocket launcher or laser. Am I missing something?
You can choose from any of the 4 or 5 different Loadouts at every spawn. Each comes with a different Armor Ability (Jet Pack, Sprint, Armor Lock, etc) and weapon set (DMR, Shotgun, Grenade Launcher, etc). Also, there are plenty of weapons still placed on the maps. The usual power weapons are on all the maps with which they are applicable, plus you can still always pick up weapons off of the ground when other players drop them.

What would it make you look nerdy?? May i remind you that this is an online forum about computers.
Dude, have you SEEN my picture in the "Macrumors Pics" thread? I AM the definition of a nerd. (Though I at least look/dress "normal") I friggen race "pro" RC Cars, I fix computers, setup servers, airbrush rc car bodies, watch Star Trek, Farscape and BSG!) I am a nerd, but not going to read a book that goes along with a video game. Give me some Ben Bova or Issaac Asimov material instead. Well, almost done with just about everything Asimov wrote...
Shoot, I used to mod orig Xbox's and have used just about every 2nd gen and newer chip that was released for it.....only a nerd would do that :D I stay VERY far from Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer and Japanese Anime ;-)

I am sure Apple is not happy, and as a consumer I wouldn't be, either. It is good short-term business sense (maximizing today's sales), but a terrible move long run as the reputation will take a big hit with customers and suppliers. A classic case of not looking past the end of your nose.
In my part of the world, Radio Shack's reputation is pretty well cooked anyway.
The only way their business model is going to work in 2011 is if they know how to recruit and train people who love both the products they offer and love the people enough to serve them well. It can be done...I know, because I have to do it myself, in a small company with about 450 employees.
But there's something wrong at the top at Radio Shack, and it filters all the way down to the individual retail units.
One of my stores is right next door to a Radio Shack store in a small country town. In a low peak period, during which it would make no sense to have a half dozen employees on the clock in a small electronics store, all six of them will be outside lounging right in front of the door, smoking and gossiping in a loud voice, and not always with socially acceptable language.
And they're always the same race and the same sex, and they even basically look the same.
This is a very diverse town in the Home Counties of Virginia. It is easy to hire every kind of minority you can imagine. I'd say that about 50% of the population of this small town is more or less permanently turned off by seeing this kind of thing.
There's something wrong at Radio Shack right now, and they're going down if they don't get it in shape, fast.
And I'll say it again...this kind of thing is evidence of something wrong at the top.
It's a shame, because this small store, everything electronic concept still has something to offer the people, especially in small towns.
I'm on the waiting list at my Radio Shack and the two guys ahead of me didn't have to buy an accessory with their iPad. Might be a store by store thing.
I'm gonna check this out personally. I have an iPad 2 on order, but it'd be neat to just walk into a Radio Shack and grab one.
I'll give it a try.
Even though I'll have to fight my way through a half dozen tobacco addicted employees on the sidewalk.

:confused: This whole forum is about Beatles music being on iTunes!
Woops, when you said "Mashup" I thought it was some third party mashup - I didn't realize it was a new Beatles album that came out!
Have to pay closer attention to those new releases...

Nope. Probably not even close. The Air doesn't have the processors or graphics required for even the current version
1GB of RAM, 2GB recommended, 4GB for uncompressed HD.
ATI or Nvidia graphics processor.

Maxed out Air matches that, hell, low end Air matches that. I'm not saying it will be fast, because it will be deathly slow. But it'll run.

Can you imagine what this wireless zuneing feature will be like in the real world? I bet they haven't come up with a way to make the wireless feature only try talking to the zune you want it to, so it'll try talking to any other zune within the proximity of the wireless transmission capability.
You'll be walking down a crowded street in a hurry trying to get your music playing when all of a sudden a box will pop up over your interface "User s8trBoi wants to send you the song "Skate or Die" by "The Snotty Adolescent Band." Do you want to accept?" You think wtf? Then suddenly it disappears and a new box pops up that says "Connection Lost, would you like to try again? [retry] [cancel] [stop] [close zuneing port]" After this keeps happening you click [close zuneing port], which turns off the wireless capability on your zune. Then you can't share songs anymore, and the pref to turn it back on will be buried under a complex interface. So the wireless capability will be used for all of a week for most people.
Then maybe spammers will realize that this is a whole new fertile ground for their sludge. So you'll be walking down the street and suddenly a box will pop up over your interface that says "User "*BUY CHEAP VIAGRA*" wants to send you the song "ONLY 5 DOLLARS PER BOTTLE!!!" by "WWW.WE-R-SPAM.COM" Do you want to accept?"
Zune sounds like a great new world. Thanks Microsoft.
Probably the best post I ever read. Informative, funny, truthful.
All the best to ya!

As long you have the option to toggle it, I don't see a problem. If anyone can do 3D right, it'll be Apple.

I'm pretty much thinking MB's won't get a bump until January, but that's me. ;) they are next to last in the revision cycle as it currently has been unfolding.

I really like this. All of the lines seem to point to the centre which adds a good dynamic and the slight warping in the pylon is just perfect.
Thanks for your kind words - I had to get ankle deep in mud to take that picture, so I'm glad someone appreciated it.

I feel it is highly likely we will see a new tiny laptop from Apple at some point in 2007.
Intel will be releasing Merom next spring, AND an ultra-low voltage version for tiny laptops.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_2#Merom_2
There used to be more detail there but it seems to have gone.
Still baffled as to why Apple stopped the 12'' PB, but maybe they felt they wouldn't sell enough in 9 months to recover the costs of designing an intel core version, before needing a major redesign for the 2007 tiny laptop.
Wait wait.... we're getting all hot and bothered about Core 2 Duo... and you're telling me a new chip will be out in a few months...
I can't keep up!

If you don't absolutely NEED it, practice a little self-control and wait. You'll regret you order if you place it and the new MBPs come out next weeek.
Next week? How can you say that? Can�t we just all agree the�ll come out this week, maybe then it happens. Yes we can!

My girlfriends MacBook, runs at 15 degrees C pretty much all the time.
Here is a screen shot,
Rich.
well thats wrong pure and simple. any type of circuit WILL generate heat unless it is a thermoelectric cooler which this isn't
also about the update, i just got a box like 3 days ago to return it to apple for repair of heat sink. I have had only 2 days since July that the thing has rsd'd on me. The first mabe 1.5weeks ago, being only 2 shutdowns before being stable and the next a week later being 6.
would you guys reccomend still sending it in for repair? i need my computer for work and school but also need it to be dependable. any suggestions?
oh and does anyone know hoe soon you have to mail in your computer after you receive the box?
also i found out there is an apple store in denver(close to where i live). could they replace it there?
thanks for taking the time to read my questions

agree - apple needs a thin and light 12" laptop or similar.
Yea, but it will never happen. Read through the thread for my reasons why.

I went to a best buy around Boston and asked for an MBP, kinda hoping they'd tell me it's out of stock for now.
The sales person told me they just got in a truckload of the current MBPs on Friday, and they have in stock whatever I want.
He told me in his experience with best buy inventories, he thinks it will take about two more months until the next refresh.

If you were to poll 1,000 random people on the street, you'd be lucky if the majority of people would even know what the hell 'Apple Corps' was, let alone that they had a legal dispute over Apple Computers name.. so the 'joke' of selecting a song like 'Come Together' would be absolutely lost on most people.
Come Together would be understood by most people to mean the Beatles "coming together" with iTunes. No 'joke' necessary.
BTW - If you were to poll 1,000 Beatles fans, 999 would know that the Beatles' record label was Apple.

It's a shame that these $65.00 chinese 1GB MP4 players with the Samsung chip have MP3 playback - Video - FM Radio - eBook Reader - Photo Viewer - Voice & FM Recorder, yet the Nano at three times the price does not!
