i recently purchased an eMac about a month ago.
today i read an article stating there was a bad shipment of eMacs and that some displays do not work properly.
so i went to the discussion forum at mac.com and now i am scared.
it seemed there were many people who have a display problem.
i found there were two major catagories of problems.
the first being.
1. (less minor) a pulse/jiggle in the lower right corner of the screen.
2. (major) a pop sound, a burn smell, followed by a black screen.
thankfully i have not had any major problems. but i think there is a slight pulse.
do you think this is something i should worry about?
are there any eMac users who do not have this problem?
or perhaps the same minor one i have?

Well I'll take my "Wii remote as a baseball bat and hitting cilvians for on reason" over this "plot"
Honestly I don't see a huge difference(atleast a difference that would make one better then the other) in the plot between GTA and Godfather...different places, different goals. Not sure how one is better then the other.

That must be Apple's new campaign. ;) :)
Perhaps they will...... ;)

My fun for March:
Hotel Dusk (Nintendo DS)
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)
Red Steel (Wii)
I finished Hotel Dusk, I'm somewhere in the middle of Zelda, and I haven't started Red Steel yet. Ok, I played the opening scene and fired a few rounds just for kicks, but haven't seriously attempted to play it.

Recently I priced out similarly equipped Intel laptops and the Powerbook. Interestingly enough they were in the same ballpark.
My basis for the Intel side was Toshiba which makes decent equipment. But if you want to get a trimline [thin] laptop, that pretty much means an IBM Thinkpad which would cost more.
So where does the savings of thousands come in?

Yeah, I can't stand it when sites start blasting music at you.
Maybe someone at Apple was making their MySpace page and accidentally uploaded it to the wrong server? :eek: :o

mdouglas, if you can, I would cancel the order. Both laptops will be updates really soon (they are good now - but, I would want the updated models). You might as well wait a while + get a nice new ibook with a 32Mb Graphics card, faster G3.

So with all the lack of Wii games for a while, I've come to the conclusion I want an XBox 360. Fund are limited(of course:( ) but I have enough for Xbox 360 Premium, 1 games and maybe 3 months of Xbox live(or a wireless bridge for online play)
But with this Zephyr talk I'm afraid I'll buy the XBox 360, then the new one will come out, and the 20Gb one will lower its price. I don't have an HDTV, so the HDMI thing isn't huge, 120Gbs isn't need, I'll only have game demos on my harddrive, and I like white more. So its not that I want the new xbox 360, I just don't want to pay 400 for something that will be 300 dollars soon.
So do you guys think I should go buy one now(tomorrow maybe?) or wait it out. Or I could buy one at costco, so if a new one comes out in 90day I'd be covered.

I generally won't do ANY updates unless I'm done with any actual work for the day, and usually for the weekend. I don't trust those updates not to mess with my computer. To many loose rm commands running around to make me comfortable sometimes!

Nope, his 'work' email is sjobs@apple.com (mailto:sjobs@apple.com). When I worked at Apple, that's what he used to contact us.
A more interesting question is: Has anyone received an email from teh Steve?

I remember my first post here, so long ago... but then I already had a stupid thread about it, so I'll just say some of the first posts are very interesting. With some of these starts, I'd never have guessed most you would become regulars... just to fade into the mists like "iboy" and "gocyrus" (well okay, he went out with a bang, but still, he's not around any more :p)I think I'll stop rambling on now.

Interesting, I use Westpac (although I'm in NZ, not Australia), and I haven't had any problems whatsoever with Safari.
The St. George Au Web banking site has a heart attack every time it sees Safari, and tells me to use IE or Netscape, the flaw is, there is a little continue button at the bottom, and when clicked on, allows you to continue using Safari. The funny thing is, there is numerous banners all displaying 'NOT COMPATIBLE WITH XP SERVICE PACK 2' all over the site. WTF?

Lost Planet - 360
Dead Rising - 360
Rainbow 6 Vegas - 360
I bought Wario for Wii too can't remember if that was late Feb or early March.

Of course not and there is it's primary downfall.
I don't care if its 4x times faster (of course it really isn't) if it doesn't run OS X, I and I suspect most of the people here wouldn't want it.
Enjoy your new laptop.

Um, I was only saying that Apple might use G5s from two different companies. I never said a word about any G6's or G7's.
(FYI, there are rumors, and then there are pure fantasies...)

Yep, I got more Madden/Wii issues.
No more corrupted memory issues since my first incident (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=286434), but now I'm having issues where I get an error message saying my nunchuk has been disconnected OR the nunchuk no longer responds and the game keeps on playing (which means my superstar running back starts spinning in circles or stands still and waits to be plastered by the defense).
Unplugging and plugging the nunchuk seems to stave off issues for 12-24 hours, but it's been a real annoyance for the past three days. Has anybody else have this happen to them?

Huh thats what I usually do:confused: anyway im just trying to say it is a common problem and its not like they are going to replace your numchuck.
Common? Common would mean the majority. I don't see 50% of Wii nunchucks having this problem, just as it's not common for a 360 to break (unless that figure IS over 50%?).
OP - Just contact Nintendo. kick up a fuss and get some Wii Points too. If it's broken or just faulty then they will ship you out a new one. These are the guys who will replace DS's with a single dead pixel after all!

Okay, so it's not about religion at all.
But I was wondering if there's a place on this board where windows users post their "conversion experience" coming over to Mac?
To me-- could very well belong upstairs in the Mac section or it could live comfortably down here as well.
Last time (my first thread) I started a boo-boo thread it got locked-- looking to keep one going if possible.
