Yeah it's an amazing design and the screen is crystal clear. I take it you bought the 20" model? It's hard to tell from the photos alone.

Yeah it's the 20", i decided to save my money to get something else (a guitar, the one above my iMac).

Kerm: Get yourself Aperture and CS3 :)

It's the DG834N and yes, very good, awesome speeds and reliable. Network consisting of 2 macs and 1 PC. It's passed the new 2.0 draft i think, so that's good.

Jordan: Haven't had time to do much with it, been busy all day. My MBP is still going to be main computer, the iMac is more of a computer i can teach my mum so she doesn't have to rely on the PC we have which is very unreliable. Also to keep intouch with me when i go to China for 6 months (iChat) and when i head off to uni.

Yea, fair do's I understand what you mean and its a good decision because you can do video and audio cheaper than phone calls :p

Well good news im ordering my 20" 2.4GHz iMac on friday so ye should get it within 2 weeks :)

@beautiful.blood, If i'm not mistaken and my memory is good enough i think it was called FREDERIK or something like that, anyways it was a super popular desk but for some reason IKEA, discontinued it,a lthough you may still find some in some stores.... In my nearest one Birtsall, Leeds they have a few left still.

Ah might as well add these:

Hey, weren't you the guy that was very anti-iPod not so long ago and wrote a glowing review of the Zen Vision:M? Why did you decide to get the classic? Is it a lot better than the Zen?

Creative, iRiver are a lot better than any iPod i've owned. I simply got one because i use a Mac and none of those brands can sync with my music as simple as an iPod. Other brands require plug ins and even then, its not as straight forward and simple. I don't have the time to mess about with that stuff.

    • EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp by Hamid Ganji The European Commission has ordered Meta to restore third-party AI chatbots’ access to WhatsApp after the tech giant decided to block them from operating on the popular messaging platform. After Meta banned rival AI chatbots from operating on WhatsApp, the European Commission launched an antitrust investigation to determine whether the company had abused its market dominance. As a result of Meta’s decision, third-party AI chatbots, including Microsoft’s Copilot and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, were prevented from operating on WhatsApp. At the time, Meta said it wanted to reserve the WhatsApp Business API for other types of businesses and did not allow rival chatbots to use it. This effectively prevented the WhatsApp ecosystem from being used to distribute rival chatbot services. However, the European Commission has now announced an interim measures decision requiring Meta to restore access to WhatsApp for rival general-purpose AI assistants on the same terms and conditions as before October 15, 2025. The Commission has also asked Meta to maintain that access until the antitrust investigation is concluded. The Commission argues that Meta has used its dominant market position to prevent rival AI chatbots from accessing the WhatsApp Business API. While Meta allowed rival services to return to WhatsApp by paying a fee, the European Commission still considers that arrangement to be a de facto access ban. According to EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera, the fees introduced by Meta are so high that using WhatsApp is no longer economically sustainable for competitors. “It seems that Meta expects to leverage the vast reach and likely dominance of WhatsApp to benefit its own AI assistant and to foreclose rivals,” Ribera said. “We cannot let large digital incumbents leverage their dominance of the past to dictate who in Europe gets to compete and who gets to innovate in AI.”

      I'm fine with a little reasonable promotion of Edge, but the degree which they do it right now I consider extremely unreasonable. 
    • Microsoft AI boss no longer believes that AI will replace human workers

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Microsoft AI boss no longer believes that AI will replace human workers by David Uzondu Mustafa Suleyman, the head of Microsoft AI, recently took back his statements concerning white-collar jobs that he gave to the Financial Times in an interview made back in February, where he claimed that AI would replace office workers within 12 to 18 months. On Monday's episode of The Verge's Decoder, Suleyman recast the technology as more like a helpmate than a tool designed to take over your job. He explained that smaller office duties will "increasingly become digitized, automated" as people generate more digital materials. During the discussion, Suleyman emphasized a "very important distinction" between "tasks" and "jobs" to clarify his previous claims. He argued that his earlier comments only referred to individual actions that people perform at their desks. Suleyman used to work for DeepMind, the research lab he co-founded in 2010 alongside Demis Hassabis and Shane Legg, before he left in 2022 to establish Inflection AI and build an empathetic digital assistant. Microsoft hired him in March 2024 to lead its newly formed "Microsoft AI" division, placing him in charge of consumer products like Copilot, Bing, and Edge. His February comments also detailed plans for Microsoft to achieve self-sufficiency with a $140 billion infrastructure budget to train frontier models, predicting that creating a customized AI will soon feel like creating a podcast or a new blog: The 41-year-old is not the only AI executive who's softened his "AI will replace you" stance. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, last month used X to push back against employment panic by arguing that his startup builds tools to assist humans rather than build replacements. He had previously garnered backlash by suggesting that many modern office roles that AI might replace did not qualify as "real work" in the first place, at least when you compare desk jobs to physical, historical labor like farming.
