It's a full size keyboard  :huh:

Its full size in that it has all the buttons that other laptops have but its small in the sense the buttons on it are quite tiny (See the Enter button the arrow keys are half there normal size) this is because apple use that same keyboard on the 12inch and 15inch Powerbooks. the iBooks also have the same keyboard (just its plastic/white).

@andrewfee: I had the same problem but I know what caused it. When you install OSX and iLife '05 is in the options, you have to tick iPhoto and iMovie HD together, but it also installs (I think) 78MB or so for iDVD. If you untick iDVD completely (this isn't the gigabyte install), you'll end up with that question-mark problem.

You think you're installing iMovie, but you're really not? Just make sure iPhoto is ticked, and then check the box for iMovie HD, and LET it half-check the box for iDVD (you'll know you're not installing iDVD when the size is fairly small... not the 1.2GB or so that it normally takes up). Hope that does the trick, because it did for me. Installing it after getting OSX off the ground works too, but I just do it in one go and that was something that happened to me too. :)

where did you get that desk?!

From IKEA Amsterdam, it's called GALANT Desk and ships for ?225,-. I got it for the discount price of ?99,-, two weeks later the prices went back up to ?225,-.

Thanks for the tip, but I chose to install all of the iLife '05 steuff, lol. I did deselect one and re-select it by mistake though, so maybe that's what caused it.

That is crap to live in bad country :pinch:

no macs, no licensed software, games, ... no new products from a major companys.

:(

In Ukraine there is no iPod Shuffle. I saw it only in Russia for $119 (512 mb model) :ninja:

iMacG5 1.6GHz at US - $1299;

in Russia - $1719 :pinch:

I thought that was GA:DNT. :D

It looks really nice. I'm going to pick up a GALANT combo for my room in a few weeks.

Ikea has something like 200 stores across the world. Including some down here in Australia too! :)

wow, not bad for a Swedish company! :p I just saw they opened a second store in the Amsterdam area. I guess there's no stopping them! :omg:

Yeah, I quite like the company in fact. Furniture that looks great and affordable too. :) Of course you comprise the quality, but they generally are fine for me.

Yeah relativity cheap furniture that doesn't look cheap. ;) Let's just hope they don't become the furniture version of Microsoft :p

@joseph0324

The store located in Amsterdam South-East is also huge, haven't visited the one near Haarlem but I guess it will be somewhat the same size. :)

The guy who owns Ikea is now the richest guy in the world so his already became the new Bill Gates. I think Ikea has become the new Microsoft but in the furniture sense of course.

Yeah I know, I bet he doesn't get his furniture from IKEA anymore :laugh:

Wasn't that for a while only? Bill was still the richest guy last year according to the Guinness Book of Records. Anyway, the way I see Ikea is Apple for home furnishings, except Ikea stuff is extremely affordable.

Let's see... the only reason you would wanna use a Bittorrent is to pirate software, movies or music... why don't you simply quit stealing and go and buy it?  The hardware thread is not really a place to be asking such questions, nor is it a place to be giving responses...

    • 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.

    • When I was a teen, I actually believed that the government used to be always be the bad guy. However as an adult, someone who has actually seen the Law work (though not perfect). I now think everyone cries a river. In this specific case, the so called freedom has consequences to society. Anyone who has seen how child are indeed affected, and I don't mean only extreme things like getting drugs or hate crimen , but no one can deny society as a whole has gone down a rabbit hole due to exesive use of internet. Before anyone calls out that it's the parents responsibility. Yes that's true, but the reality your family/kids might be good people. There are 99% out there who are not and have been brain dead by many things on the internet.
