Thats good. My Mac mini is going to supposivly take 3-4 weeks to get here. I hope to god it doesn't take that long and Apple delivers in a shorter time span. Yet the demand for them is outrageous right now. At work we recieved about 50-60, and they were gone in about a half-hour. Apple employees aren't allowed to buy the Mac mini shipments that come in right now due to the customer demand. Atleast at my store anyways.

Does anybody think that I'll receive TWO ipods? :laugh: :shifty:

There was nothing stopping me from changing the quantity of promo iPods at the online store... could I have purchased more iPods at halfprice? :whistle:

cman yep that's right. They're the new PB's. This will be my first Mac but I have emulated Panther on Windows (if that counts); PearPC. I haven't used a Mac thoroughly though, besides the occasional iMac and eMac use at school and uni. I'm an Apple fan though! (20GB iPod 4th gen owner). :)

Be sure to post pictures. ;)

Or maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but maybe he was saying 'I haven't touched an Apple all my life.' And since he was born before the creation, it counts? I don't know, that's what my head told me when I read it.

I will post pictures of my new G5, soon. Just got it yesterday. :happy:

My PAURbook is free at last.

I don't know if I'm allowed to post pictures here, but I think it should be okay. :blush:

My PB arrived two hours ago but I had to go and deliver the 20GB iPod that came with it (I purchased the Cram and Jam promotion, $200 rebate when buying a PB and iPod together). So I've had a chance to unwrap my baby and get it up and running (registration, account info, etc).

It's simply beautiful! :cry:

I've attached one picture out of many that I've taken, I'll post more up if you guys want but it's nothing you haven't seen before. I'll be back in a few hours (or tomorrow) because I want to do a bit of transferring files, etc. I don't have the Internet on the PB so I'll have to make do for now. (I only have dialup at home).

A few things that I noticed:

- It came preinstalled with OS X 10.3.7. I was about to download the Combo Update! (on dialup!)

- I don't have a SuperDrive but it came with iLife '05 preinstalled with iDVD 5 and GarageBand 2. (Is this supposed to happen? I thought I only got the CD version preinstalled. Doesn't matter!).

- The recovery CD's (OS X and OS9) were both DVDs... I was expecting a couple of CD's!

In a sentence: I simply love my PB. It's fantastic! Currently taking it's first charge... :D

My Mac mini was "Partially Shipped". The Wireless keyboard and mouse should be here tomorrow. Yet that does me no good lol. Im still waiting for the Mac mini to be shipped.

Only the 15" and 17" models come with backlit keyboards. So no, mine doesn't have the backlighting. Truth be told, within 20 minutes of usage I managed to freeze the computer! (I'm not kidding). I inserted the Mac OS X DVD (just to check it out) and had System Preferences open - I was trying to change my trackpad settings. It stopped responding but I was able to move the cursor around. I didn't know how to "ctrl-alt-del" so I rebooted it... I don't know what went wrong! :blush:

It is running fine now, I haven't been able to do much with it (no Internet, I won't have the Internet on it for a while, until I get broadband). Other than the slight hiccup, it's fantastic! I only have to go back onto the PC for the Internet (for the time being). :)

    • So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
    • The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.
