Isn't a wired keyboard required when initially setting up the computer?
Not for the Apple wireless keyboard.

If it's anything like the Whitebook I bought about 2.5 yrs ago, the plastic is coming off in chunks on the palm wrest. Mine (now a hand-me-down to my partner) is on its second palm wrest, and has already shed the same pieces.

Why? Samsung has manufactured their products in Korea. Their employees get more pay and benefits than average Americans. iPhone could be $615 vs $599 but I can pay a little more for iPhone assembled In USA.
Samsung may manufacture their products in Korea, but that doesn't mean every component for a phone, for example, is built in Korea. Korea may be the place for the phone to be put together, but its LCD, battery, etc might be built elsewhere and imported into Korea. For Korea (and I'm not entirely sure), the country might have laxed policies on imports and whatnot making final production cheaper than it needs to be, making the product cheaper to sell, and higher margins of profit --> pay better wages, etc.
For America, that may not be the case. Too many laws and regulations for everything made by our self-interested Congress members.
Oh, I hope everything you buy is not made abroad. Please, only buy the more expensive product to ensure you aren't buying a non-made U.S product (including its components) =).

Thank you for the clarification, however when I do command-i and choose "Video", the pull-down menu is greyed out. I tried this with several videos, and it's the same: I am unable to change video type on my music videos downloaded from the iTunes Store (American Idiot, etc.). They were all downloaded well before today's updates, so I don't know if that's the problem or not (maybe ones bought afterwards will not cause this problem?)
Are other people experiencing the same problem?
Yeah, the iTunes engineers appear to have had their heads shoved up their collective arses when they were working on the video feature. Since we can't change the video type for purchased music videos I have just created a smart playlist with Video Kind = Music Video and named it so it appears at the top of my playlist list. I hope the new version of Front Row doesn't suffer from the same jackassery.

GREED and BLACKMAIL I'm sure our government is gonna love this one. This is what America was built on kill the little guys and choke out all competition. Walmart couldn't compete in the MP3 market all they know about is trying to lower prices even if they loose money on something they have a million other products that will make money.

Alongside today's release of iOS 4.3.2, Apple has also pushed out Safari 5.0.5 and Security Update 2011-002 for Mac OS X. The updates are available through Apple's download pages and through Software Update.

I am seriously thinking of getting out of Windowsworld and the new 24" iMac looks great!:D
From the listed specs this will really rock.
Anybody have advice on whether I should wait for Leopard to come out or not?
Get one if you need it now.
Bottomline is, when Leopard comes out, there will a cheaper/better Mac. But that's just the way it is with technology.

Heh, my roommate tells me he's got a family friend where the husband and wife have figured out a good compromise (only works if both sides are actually decent with money ;) ).
If either buys an expensive purchase, the other side gets to also buy something of equivalent value. Apparently it keeps them in check about overspending cause they realize it will cost their household twice the amount of money and it stays fair cause both sides get to enjoy a purchase of their own.
My wife and I have a similar arrangement. I can have something expensive for my birthday. She can have her expensive curtains or sofa..etc. It works great and it is fair for the two of us. I got Adobe Photoshop Cs5, Audition and Lightroom and a Technet membership. She got cloths and a very expensive coat. I still don't know what to get for my next birthday. :cool:

Our country's cycle of support>arm>aid>turn against>support new group needs to stop, as it is directly responsible for much of the instability we've seen in the world over the last 20+ years.
American foreign policy has indeed come up quite short in the foresight department. However, Khadahphee (or however it gets spelt) rose to power with no real assistance from other countries and has only been supported indirectly, through people buying oil. The only support Libya gets from the US is indirect, from irresponsible excess in oil consumption that keeps the prices up for everyone.

Quite obviously you are not the target audience in your Ford Escape.
The original conversation was in reference to someone who drove a V10 Excursion. A vehicle that weighs 8,000lbs.
The Excursion hasn't been in production for a few years. Of course the Expedition and Suburban are still around, but there are actually people who need those types of vehicles. I am a single person so an Escape is all the SUV I need, but if I was married and had 4 or 5 kids then an Expedition, Sequoia, Tahoe or Suburban might make sense. My point was let people buy what they want to buy according to their needs. I would feel silly in a full-sized SUV by myself, but if I had a large family or needed the hauling capacity it would make sense. I don't see a lot of single people without families driving around in Excursions, Expeditions or Suburbans. In fact, out of all the people I know I can't say I know one who has one of those vehicles and doesn't have a family. Now I know a few single people with F-150's, but then again this is South Dakota and people love their pickups.
I'm not even sure how the whole SUV driver thing in relation to where people shop got started. I am sure you there are plenty of very affluent people driving Escalades, Navigators, and Lexus full sized SUV's down to their local Apple store to buy an iPad so what does it matter?

iPod 3G was fully touch operated (save for the hold switch).
iPod 4G+Photo went backwards and added physical buttons. To this day they still haven't gone back to the full touch design of the 3G.
The 3G had separate, discrete, non-mechanical touch pad "buttons." 4G+ eliminated those and incorporated them all onto the touch wheel. For you to claim that those weren't buttons is like me claiming my microwave oven's keypad is fully touch operated. Each of the touch pads are a discrete element. I would have thought that was obvious in the context of what I wrote instead of having to be explicitly stated.

Never thought i would hear a republican say "illegal war". If this was a republican president, i think dime would be singing a different tune. If a democrat takes military action, suddenly the republicans become hippies.

We bought seven MacBooks shortly after they were released and three of them started having problems (random shutdown) almost immediately. When the third one started acting up I called our vendor to ask if there were any know problems. It was obvious that they had answered that question before it came from me (and interesting that they never mentioned it when I sent in the first two). We sent all three of them back to Apple for new motherboards, no cost and no questions. The down side is that the kept each machine for 10 business days because of their backlog.

ok thanks would you say wifi is the best or att&t wifi ??
Personally, I only get the wifi versions. I have no need for 3G data as I have wifi at home and watch movies, etc while in transit. There is wifi almost everywhere. Also, the data plans are pricey for what you get and the service is not up to par.

[According to the report, "Abbey Road" was the best-selling album in the United States, while "Here Comes The Sun" topped the song charts.
It should be interesting to note that when the general public thinks of The Beatles, they think of Lennon/McCartney songs. "Here Comes the Sun" which appears to be the best selling Beatles song on iTunes, was written by George Harrison.
