First it was Siri letting you access anyone's locked iPhone...now they've discovered that a smart cover can allow anyone access to your iPad 2. Apple sucks at this stuff.

In even more news, the Apple RDF is more powerful than ever.
just tried this on my dads 4.3.3 ipad2 and it doesn't work. guess its good he hasn't upgraded to ios5 yet. you can turn off smart cover unlocking which is what i'm guessing this is basicalling doing. pretty jacked up.what, no brainwashed apple leg humpers defending apple yet? what gives?
Nah..just educating the ignorant masses.
Didnt know hardocp had such hate for apple products.
the hard staff and pretty much 99% of its users have that same mentality. and no biggy, everyone is entitled to their opinion.Didnt know hardocp had such hate for apple products.

THB i don't think people hate the products, as it just a normal PC (yes i said it... oh noes) its the software and mentality that comes with apple and its brainwashed zealots people cant stand.
mb air or mb pro would make a nice windows laptop, the hardware is nice, its just 2x the price it should be, and comes with an OS most stuff useful stuff doesn't work on.
no edit button and not to go off topic but I have yet to find a replacement for something I do on my pc that I can't do on a mbp and vice versa.THB i don't think people hate the products, as it just a normal PC (yes i said it... oh noes) its the software and mentality that comes with apple and its brainwashed zealots people cant stand.

Because this is mainly an overclocking and maximum performance forum, with small sections to low power usage etc. Apple make expensive, not exactly high end things that you cant in general overclock, do people go on about loving dell desktops?

I didn't realize that dual socket Mac Pro workstations with FC storage wasn't high end.
Same goes for iMacs with high end mobile gpu's, ssd's, sandy bridge and 1440p lcds weren't high end?
While I agree with some points, people aren't buying Mac Pro's to overclock them. But I will say the that market for those is different than those who are buying to overclock and load up 4x GPU's. Junky OS is an opinion, I would call a 2600 a high end CPU despite the fact that you can't overclock it. HighEnd and Mobile do go together as they are no better alternatives in the mobile market besides the 6990 that came out after the iMacs.They aren't, its STOCK parts. Would you pay me 60% more to buy a computer you couldn't overclock, with a junky OS? Would you call a 2600 (non k) high end? If I was buying another workstation, i'd buy something I could overclock and fit 4x GPUs in, not some overhyped dell. Switching from a 1p 4.2gh/z system (that cost a fraction as much) to one to a premade stock 2p system is painful (remember most things are still only a few cores, even in "high end" software those extra cores from the second CPU will do usually nothing, and if something needs an extreme load of core, it goes on GPU. The only real gain comes from max memory, but I still struggle to get up to 24gbs which fit on a 1p system, and extra PCI lanes, which they don't appear to use).
High end and "mobile" doesn't really go together, a 580m is less powerful than a GTX 460, yet costs a load more, and they probably don't even have those. For a desktop "high end workstation" computer, thats terrible and barely usable from experience for pretty much anything, and definately not "high end" things. Remember that this is STOCK. Overclocking the GPU would be a PITA too as the total thermal solution consists of a 1/2" slot at the top (those POS get hot)
So you can see why a stock computer doesn't get much love... Still can't see why anyone would want/buy them. Probably ignorance of better options.
Case in point, I consider my desktop to be considered highend even if it were at stock clocks. High end doesn't mean = overclocked.They aren't, its STOCK parts.

If you're talking laptops, sure. "HighEnd" and mobile card in a desktop? Not really.HighEnd and Mobile do go together as they are no better alternatives in the mobile market besides the 6990 that came out after the iMacs.
Hell i'd love to see a full-size gpu in an iMac but that aint gonna happen in its current form factor.If you're talking laptops, sure. "HighEnd" and mobile card in a desktop? Not really.
(like printer setup - I have a network printer that I had to fight and claw to work with Windows. Having to turn it off and on, had to manually type the IP address into Windows under port settings for the printer with a port type of Minolta network printer. The Mac? It just found it, installed software by itself, and had it all set up.)

But do you consider high end to be "the highest power" or "the highest model numbers?" If the term high end is detached from any kind of power equation then it doesn't really mean anything. I wouldn't care if I had a low end i3 as long as it gave me more power than what I have now (though it's a dual core you get the point ). If it is based on power, then an OCed CPU can be 60% more powerful than the stock models. I'd consider a 4gh/z i7/equivilent xeon high end, even a mid ranged OCed part could easily have perfomance parity. Not using somethings full potential is a waste, and does make it pale with proper high end stuff. I mean, look at top end parts like the 990x, thats build for overclocking!
For most things you need a workstation for (graphics/video editing/etc.) GPUs are very important. The more usually the better (though several things still wont use SLI ) but with a stock CPU that would be severely handicapped. I wouldn't expect that from a "high end" system.
The point with the imacs is that they are not mobile computers, they are desktops. Why hamstring with parts which would be considered low/mid end in a desktop, when you are in a desktop? It's not like they are cheap.
