Does Ben care that MiB promised him the island to himself to convince Ben to help him, and then a few minutes later tells him he's going to blow up the island? =/

Never thought about that, bet Ben will make a note of it..

Where did Miles go again? Out and about on his own?

Ben has always had his best interest in mind, no matter what. He's the ultimate self-preservationist. As he told Locke, "I always have a plan," so I don't see any reason to think that he's not simply using the man in black.

Good point about Claire though, and I hope we find out who got Desmond out of the well.

...and where's claire?

True. She was with Locke last... she can't of been left on Hydra island.

Gotta be Sayid. He just left a rope there and Desmond got out.

And what ever happened to Rose & Bernard? =/ Weren't they time travelling at some point too? Where'd they go?

I thought they would be Adam and Eve, but if they time travelled, they would be in the same time period as everyone else, my guess they would be staying away from the action, like they said last time we saw them, "we're in retirement"

The whole MiB can only take the form of unburied people on the island, I disagree.

Isabella - Richards wife.

She was never on the island to begin with, yet, before MiB presented himself to Richard to try to "help" him, he showed up as Isabella to play on his emotions to try to get Richard to kill Jacob.

Now, Isabella died off the island, and as far as we know she was buried by normal means and never went to the island. That is either a major plot hole, or MiB can take the form of any dead person, on or off the island, buried or unburied.

Or it really was Isabella's ghost. She appeared to Hurley. It stands to reason she didn't know what Smokey was, then. And in the preceding 140-some years, she figured out Smokey was evil, so she told Richard to help Hurley.

Or its a plot hole as well. We're never going to get the explanation of Jack seeing Christian while he was off-island either. Or people that have died on-island (which, we were told by Michael are stuck on-island as ghosts) appearing to Hurley off-island.

Edit: Oh wow. This version of the forums has vastly improved the ignore feature.

I doubt it was her ghost, otherwise Richard would not have seen her (and if he saw her the first time, why wouldn't he have been able to see her the second time?). On top of that, how could Smokey have "attacked" the ghost Isabella (remember when she left and there were sounds that made it sound like she was being attacked?)? Its pretty obvious Smokey faked that and approached Richard in his human form to try to get Richard into attacking Jacob.

Again, its either a plot hole, or Smokey can take the forms of any dead person on or off the island.

I dont think the MIB is limited to people who die just on the island. As smokey he can read people's minds, they have shown a number of examples of him doing that. From there he takes on the form of what people want to see or that have an emotional impact to that person.

Anyone else suspect that now Jack is the new Jacob, that Sawyer will be the new MIB?

If anything I think it would be more Clair then Sawyer but I dont see it going that way, never know

That would be my assumption too.

Not actually watching the sneak peaks myself, going to be spoiler free for Sunday :D

Thanks Radish. That had the adverse effect of making me create a new signature. :)

There will be no new Smoke Monster. They referred to him as "evil incarnate". You can't be the all encompassing entity of evil and have someone else who can come in and take your place.

I don't think anyone is going to be the "New smokey", there doesn't need to be a smoke monster, it was created when Jacobs brother went into the light and "died", before Jacob, there was no smoke monster that we are aware of, so why does there have to be a new one of the current one is killed?

    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      Now 8GB of ram looks even worse in the Neo. I'm so happy I purchased 128GB of DDR 4 when I did.... paid $174. Upgraded my parents laptop to 32GB around the same time for $48. Luckily I have a TON of spare laptops. So i'm good on laptops for a while. I also have a lot of desktops too that I could use if i had to. Lets just hope nothing happens to my main 4 monitor couch workstation.

      I will keep my current devices for several years... no planning in upgrading until these devices stop working. Too pricey.
    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge by Karthik Mudaliar Apple has raised the U.S. prices of several MacBook and iPad models, including the MacBook Neo, which it launched for $599 less than four months ago. The company’s cheapest laptop now starts at $699, while some MacBook Pro configurations have increased by $300. The changes affect the MacBook Neo, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iPad Air, and iPad Pro. Apple has not changed the hardware or storage included with these models, so customers are simply paying more for the same configurations. Here is how the new US pricing compares with the previous starting prices: Product Previous price New price Increase MacBook Neo $599 $699 $100 13-inch MacBook Air, 512GB $1,099 $1,299 $200 14-inch MacBook Pro, 1TB $1,699 $1,999 $300 16-inch MacBook Pro $2,699 $2,999 $300 11-inch iPad Air, 128GB $599 $749 $150 13-inch iPad Air, 128GB $799 $949 $150 11-inch iPad Pro, 256GB $999 $1,199 $200 13-inch iPad Pro, 256GB $1,299 $1,499 $200 The updated prices are already appearing on Apple’s U.S. online store. The MacBook Neo increase will probably attract the most attention. Apple introduced the laptop in March for $599, pitching it as a more affordable Mac for students and buyers considering Windows laptops or Chromebooks. It uses an A18 Pro processor and originally undercut Dell’s new $699 XPS 13 by $100. Following the increase, the two laptops now have the same starting price. The M5 MacBook Air has also lost the price Apple promoted when it launched in March. The 13-inch model arrived with 512GB of storage for $1,099, while Apple’s store now lists the MacBook Air range as starting at $1,299. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 chip and 1TB of storage has gone from $1,699 to $1,999. Apple has made similar changes to its iPads. The recently released M4 iPad Air, which launched at the same $599 starting price as its predecessor, now starts at $749 for the 11-inch version. The 13-inch version has risen from $799 to $949. The iPad Pro increases are larger in dollar terms. Apple’s 11-inch M5 iPad Pro now starts at $1,199, up from $999, while the 13-inch version has moved from $1,299 to $1,499. Both base models still include 256GB of storage. Apple blamed the increases on the rapidly rising cost of DRAM and NAND flash, which provide system memory and device storage. The company told Reuters that it had tried to shield customers from the increases but could no longer absorb them. “We have never seen a component price increase this much, this quickly,” Apple said. Tim Cook had already warned that price increases were coming. Cook said Apple’s existing component inventory had softened the immediate impact, but that higher memory costs would increasingly affect the company after the June quarter. Much of the pressure comes from the construction of AI data centers. Memory manufacturers are directing more production toward high-margin server products, leaving PC, tablet, and smartphone makers competing for the remaining supply. Apple has not said whether the new prices are temporary or whether further increases are planned. For now, the changes show that even Apple’s purchasing power has not been enough to keep the AI-driven memory shortage away from consumer devices.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      By Mateus · Posted

      This is a none story - these low volume Chinese models will always get new experimental features first because Apple and Samsung can't produce them in huge volume to meet demand.
