No, there isn't. :(

Not even voice chat yet. It will be in the final version though.

(Of course, by the time it comes out, you will probably only be left with some grandchildren to have a conference with!)

Oh, I know that but you were talking about iPods in your post.

Did ya guys see this?
To all iPhone customers: Open Letter
*www.apple.com/hotnews/openiphoneletter/

We have decided to offer every iPhone customer who purchased an iPhone from either Apple or AT&T, and who is not receiving a rebate or any other consideration, a $100 store credit towards the purchase of any product at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store.


iMav -
Happened many times with me. I for most of the times (over 95%) decide what I want b4 I go to the shop to buy the stuffs. Sales staffs are most of the stores are pathetic and mostly get pwned if they try to act smart with their sales talk with me. :D

Thats why they should hire people like u, me, zeeshan, imav who know about both Windows & Mac :D...unlike arya, andy, nepcker who only know about Mac.

I found this, the funniest software installation I have ever seen

Man! :lol: I know almost nothing in OS X, as yet. ;)

And for me... working there sucks. Have you ever worked in conditions like that?
Seriously sucks. Personal opinion.

LOL! No offence, but it was funnier without the text. And I think most of us are smart enough to understand stuff without needing a demonstration from the master of both Windows and Mac!

I'm sorry, I made a mistake. iSight support is indeed there. It was there in the previous version too. :)

The Mac family, on the first page, has now been updated.

Warning for goobimama, avoid that page. :p

GarageBand experience:

My brother's band wanted to make a demo recording to give to hotels and such to get shows. So they thought they'd practice perfectly, get all the things right and finally go to the studio and make the demo. So during this practice session, they decided to just make a rough recording with my iMac.

The end result, using just garageband, was so amazing, that they've since decided to can the studio recording and go with recording it on my Mac! I must say, the sound is so good, that it compares with another recording made by my friend's band in a studio...

And I never really worked with Garageband that much, but adding new tracks, and editing, mixing was so easy, that I had finished post-production within fifteen minutes...

@aayush: I'm not so heartbroken any more. I find that my machine is more than capable of running all my tasks very well. I don't expect any sluggishness of any kind. And if I WANT to use the new iMac, I can use the one at the Apple store for unlimited amounts of time (+free wifi internet)

Of course I am. My orkut profile has this written:
"If you cannot see the symbol within these brackets (), you are using a stupid computer. If you can - congratulations, you are the proud owner of a Mac!"

LOL! :p

Here it goes, for good measure:

****! What crap is that? Look at the fonts. Why are they so ugly, thin and almost broken? I see that sort of font rendering in cafés on Windows 98 PCs. I'd assumed that they'd be much better in Vista. But this sucks! How do you live with those fonts?!? Bleeagh!

Look at the attached images and compare for yourself.

@aayush: Why do you trouble gx so much? He had to go around hunting all over to find the proper font/whatever just so he could take that screenshot..

Font....how did font thing come up in here? Why are u deviating from the original thing. U said we Windows users can't see the Apple logo in Windows & IE 7, ahem.....I just pwned u. :D

About the font thing. I have Cleartype disabled in IE 7. I don't like it. It is there by default in Safari & cannot be disabled whether I like it or not.

Yup just download a Windows version of the font & rendered the page in Unicode cos Windows cannot have this font included due to license restriction of Apple which prevents MS from bundling it.

Looks like not a privilege that only Mac users can enjoy :D

In safari its called Font Smoothening...and its default looks much better than those fiddle sticks that IE just put out...
