X301 to get a new processor next week??

So will Lenovo bump up the ULV processor in the X301 from SU9400 1.4ghz to a faster SL9600 2.13ghz ?? that would give some of us an option for more performance in this awesome thin and light thinkpad.
I also hope the LED screen quality will be better in this new update...

T61P - 6459-CTO - T7500 2.2Ghz - 4G DDR2 RAM - NV Quadro FX 570M 256mb - 160G 7200 rpm - WSXGA+ 15.4" - Vista Ultimate 32bit

I do know that the current x301 has a SU9400 1.4ghz processor
As being reported on many tech sites like Cnet, that this Monday, Intel will be releasing a few new bumps in chips
Intel ULV and LV chips due on March 30, 2009:
SP9600 / 2.53GHz / 6MB cache / 1066MHz FSB / 2 cores / 25W / $316
SL9600 / 2.13GHz / 6MB cache / 1066MHz FSB / 2 cores / 17W / $316
SU9600 / 1.60GHz / 3MB cache / 800MHz FSB / 2 cores / 10W / $289
SU3500 / 1.4GHz / 3MB cache / 800MHz FSB / 1 core / 5.5W / $262
ICP900 / 2.2GHz / 1MB cache / 800MHz FSB / 1 core / 35W / $70
If lenovo stays with the SU9600 1.6ghz new chip and also offer an option like the x200s to get the step up SL9600 2.13ghz then we'd be in business for extra performance. so it will be a trade off battery time for performance depending on what configuration of x301 you choose....I think this is doable....some people I know would like the x301 design/style (.73" + 3 lbs) but find it a little underpowered...
so 2 options of processors like the x200/x200s depending on more performance vs longer battery time. I'd like to see these options offered.
And also find a better LED supplier.....too many reports of sub-par quality on the screen around the net from current owners...yes there was a big improvement from the x300 screen but I still think there's more room for improvement.

I live in California but will be in New York next week during the launch of the iPhone 5. Will I still be able to "upgrade" out of state?

I live in California but will be in New York next week during the launch of the iPhone 5. Will I still be able to "upgrade" even though I'm from another state? I ask because my dad had problems doing this for the iPhone 3GS launch. He waited in line all day, finally got in the store and they told him it it not possible to upgrade if you reside in another state. I'm really hoping things have changed.

Based on your Dad's experience, I wouldn't rely on what you hear here. I'd call your carrier & the store you plan on going to.

Re Download FCP X to new mac next week?

Just wondering if FCP X app is linked to your iTunes account. So if I buy a new Mac this week can I re download it at no cost as long as it is on my itunes account?

I believe the Mac App store allows you to download your copy to as many as you like as long as you don't use it on more than one at once (thats a pro-app restriction I think)

ICal moving an event to a new date, next week or next months,

how do i drag my event from todays days to next months, i can not seem to drag an event from a date to another date unless its in the same week if in week view, or same month if in the mionth view, Their must be a simple drag function

CaptainStarwars,
Dragging is not possible under the circumstances that you describe.
You click on the event and use (⌘C) and then (⌘V). if you want to remove the event from the first occurrence use (⌘X), and (⌘V).

Getting a new iMac - overwhelmed w info here but need help

Hi,
I'm getting a new iMac next week and need help with Blackberry Bold 9000 issues and syncing with iCal, etc on the machine. I have been told that I can buy an app for about $30 that will sync the BB with the mac programs but reading here, I am confused - are some of the posts here and the KB notes related to syncing directly with the mac software or are they only for making a separate BB desktop for the mac?
I have looked at several of the KB notes but I haven't found the answer yet.
thanks.

What’s the difference between:
8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x2GB http://Add $200.00...
(from 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB)
and
8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB http://Add $600.00
4GB DIMMs are at present significantly more expensive than 2GB DIMMs. It's your choice whether to pay the extra money and have empty slots available for additional future memory expansion (without removing any existing memory).
I presume 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel i7 is bigger, or more powerful than the 3.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo of the 21.5” iMac model. Correct?
Generally yes. You can see benchmarks on places like Barefeats if you want to see comparison numbers.
it appears the CD/DVD problem thing is not evident in the 27” model as it at least was in the 21.5” model. Right?
I can't add anything to what I said on the subject previously.
cracked screens upon opening the box of the new computer, were much more of a problem for the bigger, 27” models that the 21.5” models. Hopefully, Apple has taken care of that by packaging them more carefully.
I haven't seen a report of any cracked screens in several weeks now. But with the gorillas the shipping companies tend to use, there are no guarantees. I once received a pallet-load of computers that the trucking company had driven a forklift blade through. So you never know how your computer might arrive. The prevalence of problems seems to have been alleviated, though.
Regards.

My journey of almost two weeks to get a new phone

my story of how to get a new phone has many ups and downs.
may 29th, i return from belize with a broken phone (dropped it in the ocean on a scuba trip). i go to the apple store who recommends i call verizon to see if they're going to be flexible about upgrading early to an iphone 5 rather than purchasing a refurb iphone 4. the agent i spoke to the phone tells me he asks his superior, then informs me that i can call back the following monday (may 3rd) to get an order for a new phone. why may 3rd? because it's a new billing cycle, which would put me just 1 month early for an upgrade (my actual due date for an upgrade is july 3rd). he tells me he put a note in my file saying i have been approved for this 1 month early upgrade from his supervisor so it should be an easy deal for the next agent to handle. i drive to verizon on my way back from the apple store and they tell me they do not do early upgrades and all of this would have to be done over the phone, which i do not have [ great....]
may 3rd. i call to order my phone. i need a billing password? what? nobody in my family knows what it is (my dad is the owner). i ask the rep what security question does my dad need to answer to reset the billing password. he says the security question is the last 4 of his SS. i inform the rep that i am an appointed manager of the account and i know the SS so can i reset the password? he says no, and that it must come from the owner himself (at this point i'm contemplating just to call and hang up and impersonate my dad to reset it). i ask the rep if he can take my order down (black iphone 5, 16gb, renew 2 year agreement on my number) and my credit card info, call my dad at work to authorize this purchase, then use the info i already gave him to place an order. he says yes he can do it. i ask if he can send me the confirmation email so he takes down my email address. 3 hours later i drive to the verizon store and i call my dad who says the rep called him and it should be fedex'ed to me by wednesday, may 5th. i call the verizon customer service to get confirmation numbers but lucky me, the verizon computers are down and service rep is unable to access any accounts for the next few hours but they are able to answer any general questions i might have.... (i never received an email confirmation but i figured if my dad said he took care of it, everything is done).
may 5th. no phone. i call my dad, and he says it should be there. i call verizon and they say my order is pending. why? the ToSA (terms of service agreement) has not been completed (my dad was never notified of its lack of completion). I ask them to review the details of my order. the order was not under my number, but under another phone number that was eligible for an upgrade. so not only was my order held, it wasn't even correct to begin with. i ask them to cancel the order, place the correct one under my number, and to email me the confirmation. i complete the ToSA but again i fail to receive an email. i call back and they say i have an incomplete order that requires the ToSA. i tell them i just did it and they said how about you try again and we'll call you back in 5 minutes. they transfer me to a ToSA that is for porting numbers (***) so obviously i declined it and hung up. i wait 20 minutes but i never get a call. fed up, i call again, and FINALLY i get some real answers as to what has been going on by a rep named Shelly in pendleton, indiana.
i tell shelly i was trying to complete a ToSA but i was transferred to the wrong automated machine. shelly then informs me i have TWO open orders. [ surprise! ] iphone 5 for my own number (order A) and an iphone 5 for the other eligible number (order B). [ note: the previous agent was trying to get me to complete ToSA for order B and transferred me to the wrong ToSA ] order A has a complete ToSA, and order B is pending. i tell her i cancelled order B with the last rep and she said this cancellation must be done through the automated voice ToSA. she said she can walk me through it on a 3 way call, and we successfully cancel that order. but i had my doubts so i asked her to review my other order before i hang up. she says the ToSA is complete but it the order is still pending. [ now i'm confused ] i re-tell my ENTIRE story to shelly about how i broke my phone, i spoke to a rep last week about early upgrade approval, and now it has been a train wreck trying to get a phone since then. she goes through all of my notes and tells me the first rep did make notes about early upgrades (agent notes never count as actual supervisor authorization), but then when the phone was ordered, it was ordered on the eligible phone number in order to bypass supervisor authorization. so because my active pending order could theoretically be rejected, she double checked again with her boss, and then informed me that it was HIGHLY likely my early upgrade would be DENIED. [ i'm really trying not to break my friend's phone at this point ]
so now i tell shelly that i want to re-order the exact order i just cancelled (order B) to guarantee that i will get a phone. we go through the automated process together to cancel the order i just submitted (order A). then we place the order on the other phone number with the eligible upgrade. but wait, there's another catch. i need to know my dad's social, not the last four, but the last SIX digits. [ are you kidding me? the security process is getting absurd at this point ] i ask her if she's sure since i've completed a ToSA before (order A) and was never asked that question. she said she guarantees it 100% that it will come up. she hangs up and dials me back to put me on a 3 way call with my dad to ask him for it, and then we go through the ToSA. she is absolutely correct that i needed it, and finally my order is confirmed. she is also the only rep who actually was able to get me the confirmation email of my order. i check my credit card online, and my payment has been processed. after 2.5 hours on my friend's phone today, now i am finally confident that i can get my phone by saturday or next monday, which should put this whole ordeal at almost two weeks.
my gripes
1. i waited until may 3rd for no reason at all when i could have just used another phone's upgrade option. in addtion, shelly told me i could have even swapped contracts with the other number (renew + upgrade on the other number + swap => leaving me exactly with what i wanted - a 2 year contract and an upgraded phone). this unnecessary wait probably bothered me the most. it was just wasted time and me twiddling my thumbs when i could have had a phone on monday.
2. never getting confirmation emails i asked for from other reps.
3. getting transferred to the wrong ToSA. (however, shelly told me this mistake is easily made because different ToSA share similar numbers)
4. the phone call i was supposed to get 5 minutes later after completing the ToSA came like 45 minutes later. (i was already on the phone with shelly so i never bothered picking it up.)
5. agents saying they'll do one thing then change the plan, which makes it confusing for all parties. if there's a notes section, please be thorough in documenting AND reviewing it. it also does not help at all that there is no direct line to speak to specific agents so that the customer and the service rep can work together efficiently and effectively. in my situation, i do not currently have a phone (nor do i have a land line for them to contact me at). there has to be a way for me to effectively place an order ONCE through and PERFECTLY. this is literally the most frustrating customer service experience i've ever had.
positives?
whoever shelly in indiana is needs a raise/bonus/promotion. she actually SOLVED my problem in one sitting. she also seems like the only person who actually knows how to process and cancel orders.
cliffnotes
-you can swap contracts and their phone upgrades
-verizon has the worst system for placing orders over the phone. avoid at all cost if you have to. and if you have to, hope some girl named shelly in indiana is the one picking up your call.

security questions was the least of my issues, hence, it did not make my gripes summary. the account owner authorized the order over the phone easily, but somehow some way the order still failed to go through. only one agent, the last agent, stayed on the line while the ToSA was being done 1. to check that she was transferring me to the correct ToSA, 2. to check that the ToSA was successfully completed, and 3. so she could me the confirmation numbers i needed to track it.
i had difficulties with completing the ToSA, simple required task for an authorized purchase, not once, but TWICE. the ToSA did not go through on the order on june 3rd for whatever reason. and when i was transferred to the wrong ToSA line in my own attempt to authorize a purchase on june 5th, i can see this error being replicated numerous times limiting the efficacy of an automated system when agents don't stay on the line to confirm that the final step goes through. i even tried getting the confirmation number on june 3rd, but when i called, the verizon system is conveniently down rendering any form of follow up useless. as a consequence, the lack of ability to have a single agent managing the case turns into a telephone game through the documented notes with agents unaware of what has been done previously and the reasons for managing a case a certain way.
another huge frustration i didn't highlight in my gripes is that none of this can be resolved in person at a verizon store. fortunately for those who live next to a corporate verizon building, it is easy. for the rest of us, it isn't quite so.

I just bought an ipad,not even 30 days ago, now the new one is coming out next week. can I exchange?

Has anyone heard if verizon will be offering an exchange policy like they did for the iphone? I haven't even had my ipad 30 days and now the new one is coming out next week. Is verizon going to screw it's customers or allow you to exchange for the new one?

Verizon is not even giving the $100 credit that Apple is giving if you bought within 14 days. I called and was told I had to pay a restocking fee of $70 plus a reactivation fee of $35 so I could exchange and get an Ipad 2 and pay $105 as basically a penalty instead fo getting a $100 credit.
So don't tell me Verizon is not screwing their Ipad customers who just bought an Ipad.

I have spent the last week trying to get a new phone.

Last Wednesday I spoke with a lovely young lady in the Charlotte, NC call center. My cell phone was no longer working and I was just a little over a month shy of my renewal date. We had a great conversation and she granted an exception to have me order a new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and we could renew my contract early. Great! I ordered 2nd day shipping thinking it would be to my home my Friday, maybe Monday. I was fine with that.
I kept an eye on verizonwireless.com and noticed it still said my order was pending as of Thursday, so I called and spoke with a gentleman by the name of Tucker. He told me the phone was still pending manager approval, but that he would have that approved immediately and it would be sent out post haste. Not ideal, but I could live with Monday delivery.
Yesterday (Monday), I phoned again. My Verizon didn't have the tracking number. The person I spoke with called the warehouse and said that my credit card was declined, and that was the reason the phone was never ordered. She said I should have been told this last week and apologized. I asked if I could go into a store to pick up the phone and she had to talk to her manager to get that approved. After a long hold she came back on the line and told me that I could go into any store to pick up a phone, that I would be eligible for an early upgrade, and it would be clear to the person in the store that was approved.
I get to the store yesterday, and they check my account, which says I'm not eligible for an early upgrade and I'm told at this point I will not be able to get the phone there. I call customer service and speak with a girl who transfers me to tech service, where I reach a man named Tucker. I'm not sure if it's the same person I spoke with last week. Tucker senses my frustration and tells me he will fix the problem. He offers to send me a phone via overnight mail to my home address. He says he cannot make it so I can pick up a phone anywhere, and that it's quicker if he just does this. I had resigned myself to the fact that I will need to wait for a new cell phone, and accept the offer to overnight the phone.
Today, I called customer service. My phone hadn't shipped. It turns out the terms & conditions were accepted after the batch time, and it wouldn't be available until tomorrow. I explained the situation yet again to a new person, who felt for what I had been through and told me that it's not typical service and not acceptable. He offered me a special promotional plan and offered to overnight a phone. I indicated I preferred to get a phone today (as I've said the last 3 days I've called) since my previous orders through customer service had gone awry and that I would appreciate it if there was a supervisor I could speak with. The rep transferred me to Marlene.
Marlene again sympathized with the situation and told me should would resolve the issue. She told me the reason the store was unable to fulfill the order was that the Wireless Zone I'd gone to was a 3rd party and I'd have to go to a corporate store. She called the closest Verizon store while I was on hold and spoke with the manager. She got back on the phone and told me everything was all set...I should talk to Zach and I'd be able to get a phone. I drove the 25 minutes to the Verizon store in Waterbury, CT. I got there and Zach informed me that he was sorry for the confusion, but that he wasn't able to give me the phone since he could only offer me a small discount. I had to buy a $70 pay as you go phone in order to remain reachable by work and in case of emergencies (another snow storm tonight).
Needless to say I was and am very frustrated. When I returned to the office an hour and a half later, I called customer service and got Ryan. He offered the same thing I'd been offered before; he would order the phone via overnight delivery. To sweeten the pot, he offered me a promotional plan for $20 cheaper than my current plan. Great. I was on the phone for 23 minutes, the majority of which I spent on hold while Ryan tried to get an approval. I hung up when I had an urgent issue come up. I called back later and spoke with a woman who told me the order was not placed, that she could call me back with a resolution in a half an hour. I did not hear back from her.
I finally call back close to 3:30 and get John. John is very kind and is sorry for all the difficulty I've experienced. He gets a director to approve a change to my upgrade date so I can go into a store (and he specified any store) to get a new phone. I left work early and went to the store, where the rep said I could not get a phone due to the fact that there was a pending order on the account.

That situation went from inconvenient to complicated quickly. Wait for any pending orders to drop off, wait for things to clear up, wait till your upgrade comes up and then upgrade when your contract is fulfilled. I would have suggested a replacement phone, I know, with only a month left why couldn't you just upgrade early, but these situations where people try to upgrade early always end horribly and once a phone order starts, it almost cannot finish until something winds up shipped received and returned. Sorry this happened the way it did. Definitely not efficient.

It could be a POP account which means the first device which accesses the account gets the email unless the settings have been changed. Here are links to show what is involved. It may not mirror your circumstances though.

Verizon is corrupt in what they tell you and what they honor. Their right hand does not know what their left hand is doing.
I am so angry at them for what they are NOT doing to solve problems we have had with billing since October. I have been putting horrible reviews on every site I can think of as well. This typically is not my approach but I have exhausted every avenue of reason with them up to this point. They are so big they don't care. Only thing though is I live in a small community that does pay attention to things others say and I am telling it like it is. Verizon customer service is a group of dishonest, incompetent people.

New nForce drivers next week!

According to a German source (with an interview with nVidia), new drivers are supposed to be released next week.
A knowledgeable individual @ NForcer's HQ, who claims to have some inside info on this, says that we will be very pleased with the update(s).
I predict that it's true on both counts. nVidia is in too precarious of a position to let their current client base down if it wants to stay ahead of the competition and stay ahead of AMD MB rivals as they maintain their dominant chipset share.

Well, of course... just like the 2.42 set was going to cure everyone's ills. I sense an opportunity for another round of complaints ... just kidding... you can always hope.

I just got the ipod nano about 3 weeks ago. It worked great up untill today. It would not turn on, or connect into my computer. I took it back to best buy and they said it had a defulted battery, and that I needed to call the company. So I did and they had me send it in. Will they send me a new ipod, or a refurbished one. I havn't even had the ipod long enough, and I paid good money for it. I'm hoping to get a new one, because it wasn't my fault.

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
