It would be cool for them to keep the yonah in the low-end MacBook. That way with the price drop they could get back to a $999 entry-level notebook.Merom definitely in the Black Macbook though, if this is true.Great News! Still hoping for a case redesign in the MBP for mine.:)You can buy the Yonah entry MacBook on the SAVE page of the Apple online store for $949 already. Been so for months.

They are not going to keep putting Yonah in anything. Merom cost them the same money.

No incentive to keep putting 32-bit processors in anything any longer than they must because the future is Leopard and Leopard is all about full 64-bit support.MacBook Pro is very likely redesigned for Merom including that easy HD swap out capability that's already in the MacBook Pro Jr. After time-and-time-again of seeing no Apple tablet (even after following 'Next MWSF, 100% for sure!' Rumors) I've been convinced that there won't be one. As everyone is saying, the Tablet PC is dead. Or, if anything, is being replaced by laptops whose screens turn around at the neck.What does anyone need a tablet for anyway? If the demand is for a $300 - $600 portable, there is WAY more demand for a MacBook Mini than a tablet. Plus, how would you protect that screen??

Laptops have distinct advantages over tablets. The main ones being that they are durable and versatile. Tablets are clumsy and weak.I would be SERIOUSLY surprised if Apple debuted a tablet-Clive. Half-Life: Blue Shift Review. I have been wondering the same thing. No matter how good the news is, there are still a bunch of negative votes.

It just re-inforces my belief there is an organized effort to discredit Apple on this site. If it was just individuals, I would wonder why waste time on an Apple website if you did not like Apple? It makes no sense in that scenario.

I do believe the PC establishment is worried about the possibility of Apple gaining more of a foothold in corporate America.No matter how good someone will always be negative, but also no matter how bad someone will be positive. That's just the way life is. This has nothing to do with having those that are anti-Mac or pro-Mac. People just don't agree on anything.Maybe this person santed to see the core 2 duo in a PowerMac/Intel Mac Pro unit. Maybe he wanted an iPod shuffle with a core 2 duo in it.

Maybe that would be just to say that he had the smallest core 2 duo computers or the most over processed iPods?Bill the TaxMan. Half-Life 2: DeathMatch GCF. I know LG makes an MP3 player. When I said Apple has about as much of a chance entering the cell phone market as LG has entering the MP3 market, what I was referring to is POPULARITY and MARKET SHARE.When I said Apple doesn't have a history of 'working well with others', I was referring to other companies.You don't just wake up one day and start selling phones.

There are a whole lot of other companies involved. Most importantly, a cell phone service provider.

One who is willing to pay Apples per unit price and give the phone away for next to nothing in exchange for an end customer contract.That's how the majority of cell phones are sold. Not walking into target and plunking down $250 and it's yours. But signing a contract for a year or more and getting the phone at a significantly reduced rate, or even 'free'.In order to be successful in the cell phone market, you need to have more than one cell service provider on board, willing to push your phones, and you have to do it at a price point thats comfortable for both the manufacturer of the phone, and the guy selling the phone.Then in order to do that, you have to offer that particular provider something special. Like a special model available only at that particular provider. Which means Apple would have to either stick with a single carrier, or have multiple models.Then finally, you have the convergence factor.

I know a lot of people with cell phones. I know a lot of people with PDA's. I know a lot of people with MP3 players.I don't know a lot of people who want all three devices wrapped up into one unit.An iPod with the ability (but not a requirement) to connect to cellular networks to download content, I can see and think would be a hit.Being able to add OPTIONAL, basic phone functions and texting to such a unit for those interested in such a thing, not bad.But a full blown 'iPhone'?

Big mistake.com/mods/opposing-force-2. So, lets see if I understand?Apple is doing everything they can to move things to the cloud while AT&T and Verizon are ratcheting down how much you can use their network to access what you put in the cloud.Agree KJR. And I smell a rate hike. Look, you buy a hi-def TV and KommieKast and its ilk, charge you a fortune to watch network (read sponsored) hi-def shows. The cloud is just another way to fire up a profit center.AND EMP hates the cloud. When the illegals join forces with the zombies and nuke us, hey presto, no cloud.

Opposing Force - 020 - The. Not to sound harsh or anything, but maybe you guys should be charging more for your services. The way you described how much work you guys are doing over there, you should be able to afford a new MacPro for everyone there.and maybe a couple grip trucks.Well, we get a bonus week of paid vacation for working 15 hour days 3 weeks straight. Most of the production done is for us, not contract work. We are the only (local) station in town for the festival, so it would be stupid not to bust our ass to showcase our stuff to the world. We sell a lot of ads, but at the same time, it's still local TV when it comes down to it.

Opposing Force 2. Gave it a brief test around town this afternoon.

MotionX GPS lite status screen reported an accuracy (radius?) of between 30 feet to 50 feet, whereas without the TomTom mount it ranged from about 75 ft to 256 ft or worse. So, yeah, it improves GPS accuracy, and I did notice the difference when using the TomTom app.The thing is well built and elegant, the nicest carphone mount design I've ever seen. You have to be gentle sticking the iPhone into the mount, but you can do it with one hand. You have to think about where to install the mount in your car - window, dash, left or right of the wheel etc.

and you can't leave the iPhone in a case (OK for me, might not be for others). The power and audio cables stick out of the side, which is a bit awkward, especially when you rotate it; I'm thinking of picking up some adhesive-backed clips at RadioShack to keep the wires out of the way as they wind their way down to the power and aux jacks. I've made only one phone call so far, which worked fine, but the phone uses the mount's speaker even when you're plugged into the car stereo (music and/or Tomtom app voice stops in the car speakers, and then the phone call comes out of the mount speaker). I could hear the phone call fine driving around town, but I'm a little worried about how well I'll be able to hear phone calls at freeway speeds in my noisy little car (a Honda Fit).The acid test will be a substantial trip that includes some skyscraper canyons in a big city.Last I checked it looked like BLT had sold out and was awaiting more shipments.Thanks a ton for for your review, I am now going to buy the kit from BLT. They are on backorder with the product and will be recieving a shipment in on the 11 of nov, but for this low price I believe it is worth the wait ( about%30 off). Thanks again.com/mods/opposing-force-2.

Listen my children. Take a Sony PSP.

Chop off the two ends with the game controls, leaving just the screen. This is the form factor. Remove the Sony drive put in a hard disk and infrared port and touch sensitivity.

Leave the WiFi, removable rechargable battery, USB 2, headphone.This is pocketable. It is 'the' video iPod. It is a smart remote. It is an Apple Remote Desktop device that can control ANY Mac over WiFi or the Internet from anywhere.Now add quad GSM and you have the Apple iPhone.

Half-life Counter-strike

I'm tellin' ya. $500.And, Apple becomes a cellular carrier using that huge enormous data center they just bought.

The phone works on any carrier but with Apple yoiu get all you can eat high speed Internet, perfect iSync, music/video downloads/purchase, ARD and so on. I'll wait for that until Paris, and if it isn't available then, I'll buy a PC with Core 2 Duo E6600 and GeForce 7900 GT.Mac OS X not do anything for you?:) I do agree that there is space for a Mid-range desktop.I think if Apple just made the Mac Mini a bit bigger. They could fit in a Core 2 Duo (Conroe) inside along with a 3.5' Hard Drive and GMA X3000. The 1.86 GHz Conroe kills the Yonah Core Solo in everything and costs less than the Core Solo. A 3.5' Hard Drive is also much better in the value department. Couple this with an option for a Single-Woodcrest Mac Pro and it completely eliminates the need for a mid-range tower.

What they need is tier level pricing. Those who wish to only use the features of say Find My iWhatever can choose just that, storage + e-mail, e-mail, etc.Mobileme is certainly worth more than free. Apple doesn't scrape your emails and other data to target adds at you a la Google.I could see Apple making some features of Mobileme free. I don't think they're just going kill a revenue stream but they could offer a basic free Mobileme account which gives you.A me.com email address with 5 aliases.Sync features'Find my damn iDevice'Calendar, Contacts, Bookmark syncWeb pageGalleryiWork.comThen roll out Mobileme ProMake iDisk more like Drop Box.Enhance the syncOnline BackupCloud Music (Lala style)iWork.com Pro (adds collaborative editing)Whatever other cool stuff they can deliverThese are both good ideas and very feasible.

Previous gameNext gameHalf-Life: Opposing Force is a critically acclaimed expansion pack for, developed by and released by on November 1, 1999. The expansion's single-player mode features the same setting as the original, with the twist that the player is cast not as, but as Corporal, a U.S. Shephard is sent into the on an undisclosed mission, but things go wrong as he finds himself fighting for survival against, aliens, and the mysterious. A that will see the whole game remade in the Source engine currently titled Operation: Black Mesa.

Also, an unofficial sequel is being developed by fans named.Opposing Force can be purchased on for $4.99. Originally, users with access to the back catalog, via an original copy of Half-Life or a copy of Half-Life 2 Gold Edition, could download Opposing Force for free. This service has since been discontinued. On May 10th, 1999, the prototype version was currently in the works at that time, until Valve and Gearbox had skinned out plans for the new version which came out in early November.

The screenshots showing the prototype version was particularly found inside it's screenshot page inside IGN, including Steam. Main article: See also: Characters. (Cameo). (As ). members. members.

Male. Xen. Race X.Weapons.: The first melee weapon Shephard finds, the wrench is suitable for bashing crates and enemies alike. Alternate fire prepares for a more forceful swing, that increases in power the longer one holds down the button.: Another melee weapon that delivers less damage, but is very fast and effective against headcrabs or already wounded or weak enemies. Stabbing some enemies in the back can result in a one-hit kill.: The Black Mesa scientists were able to 'tame' this Xen creature that normally adheres to ceilings. Its ability to latch onto distant organic targets (including enemies) using its long tongue makes it useful as a grappling hook allowing the player to scale heights and cross otherwise impassable gaps. Primary fire shoots out the tongue and pulls the player towards whatever it sticks to, alt-fire stops it from retracting its tongue, allowing the player to swing around.: The most basic ranged weapon.

Accurate and with average stopping power, the 9mm Pistol is unique in that it can be fired underwater. Secondary fire fires the pistol in fully-automatic mode that greatly increases the rate of fire, and unlike the original Half-Life, the accuracy stays the same.: A powerful semi-automatic pistol. Similar to Half-Life's revolver, but has less recoil and a faster rate of fire.

Alt-fire activates its laser sight, which greatly increases its accuracy but reduces its firing rate.: Fully automatic with average stopping power and somewhat poor accuracy, but high magazine capacity and rate of fire. Has an attached grenade launcher, and shares ammunition with the 9mm pistol.: Powerful when up close, but has a slow rate of fire, long reload time, and is next to useless at medium-long range.: An extremely powerful weapon, but must be reloaded for each shot. Alternate fire activates/deactivates a laser sight; with the laser sight active, the rockets will track the laser to its target.: A handheld explosive. Can bounce off of walls and detonates after five seconds.: A highly potent explosive that can be thrown a short distance and detonated remotely.

Secondary fire allows the user to place additional charges.: A high-explosive Claymore mine-like device that can be attached to walls. It is set off either by damaging the mine or by crossing through the laser 'tripwire' emitted from it.: Aggressive and small alien creatures that quickly pursue their target, pestering and biting, until finally exploding after several seconds (or if shot).

If they cannot locate a hostile target, they will turn on the player that set them loose, making them, at times, enemies.: A light machine gun that is very effective at cutting down groups of enemies, but empties quickly and has a long reload time. Its powerful recoil makes it difficult to aim; crouching while firing can help alleviate this. ( Project XV11382): An experimental teleportation weapon, its primary fire launches a large, slow, green orb of energy that damages enemies it passes by and obliterates anything that it hits directly. In the single-player game, the alt-fire is used to transport Shephard to Xen as well as access certain 'hidden' areas of the game.

Both modes need 1–2 seconds to 'charge'. In multiplayer, the alt-fire teleports the player to a random area of the map. The Displacer's primary fire is, in effect and damage, homage to the BFG weapon of the Doom and Quake series, taking out any enemy short of a boss with a direct hit and dealing splash damage in a visible radius.

Note: The displacer uses the same spinning component as the gauss/tau gun, which can be seen when it charges a shot.: A powerful and accurate sniper rifle that is very effective at long distances. Its bullets hit their targets instantly, unlike the bolts of the in Half-Life.

Alt-fire activates the fixed-power scope. Ammunition for this weapon is extremely rare, so pick your targets wisely.: A living weapon with a fish-like appearance, the Spore Launcher feeds on spores and regurgitates them as dangerous warheads. Primary mode fires a glowing green alien spore (which can be picked up from scattered 'spore pods') that does heavy damage to organic enemies. Its alt-fire mode launches a slower-moving 'spore grenade' that bounces around for a few seconds and then explodes, causing even greater damage in its area of effect. Shephard seems to hold some affection for the creature, stroking it fondly during one of the idle animations. Shock Troopers can use the same spores as grenades.: Another biological weapon, these insect-like creatures are the standard armament of the alien Shock Troopers-which apparently bond to a host's skin with its six legs until death.

The Shock Roach fires an electric bolt that inflicts moderate damage. It can only fire off ten such bolts, but continuously replenishes its 'ammunition.' .In the single-player campaign, some of these weapons replace their Half-Life counterparts (Desert Eagle - Colt Python, M40A1 - Crossbow, Pipe wrench/Combat knife - Crowbar, Shock Roach - Hivehand). However, in the multiplayer game the player can carry both the new Opposing Force weapons and their Half-Life variants at the same time (as well as the, an equivalent of the Snark in CTF mode), while cheat codes also make it possible to possess and use these weapons in single-player mode.Soundtrack. Main article: Trivia. Senior Drill Instructor who appears in the training section, is modeled after 's Gunnery Sergeant Hartman from 's.

The same drill instructor is also heard to say 'You wanna come and knock me off?' When standing on top of a rope climbing platform. This line is said by Sgt. Hulka in the film during a similar training exercise. To kill the Pit Worm, Shephard must activate the 'valve' and the 'gearbox,' an obvious reference to developers and.The 'Temporal paradox' message. If the player enters 's portal, the game will end, accusing the player of trying to rewrite history - 'Evaluation terminated: Subject attempted to create a temporal paradox.' , as seen in the image.

This means what happened in the original level was changed by the player. The same thing happens if the player somehow kills Gordon Freeman. However, 'nocliping' via the console allows Freeman to be viewed face to face, revealing he possesses a short ponytail and sunglasses, a fashion not seen in any other game, presumably made by Gearbox. In addition, doing this will play the 'Threatening short' from the original game. The name 'Foxtrot Uniform' is derived from the NATO phonetic alphabet, referring to the letters 'F' and 'U.' It is a military euphemism for 'fucked up,' sometimes preceded by 'Alpha' (for 'all', represented by 'A').

While playing the tutorial, the player can clearly see the developers' names printed on each footlocker in the barracks facility. This seems to be a 'tradition' in Half-Life, because the same thing can be seen in both the original and in their first chapters.

Also, being in front of the beds of soldiers waiting for roll call from their drill instructor, the developers' names might belong to the soldiers in this case. At the point where the is first introduced, the security guard in the room can be heard saying 'Have you seen the new IG-88?'

'IG-88' is the name of the assassin droid which is one of the six bounty hunters chosen to capture Han Solo in the film. If the player uses a console command to view the skybox from within the during the sequence at the end of the game, there is a hidden message on the upper skybox texture. The message reads: 'HACK HACK HACK ALL DAY LONG. HACK HACK HACK WHILE I SING THIS SONG sic.' This 'poem' is a reference to 's song,. This can also be found by viewing the game files. A sound file in Opposing Force called 'dsbossit.wav' can be found using and located in the 'misc' folder.

The file sounds like complete gibberish, but when played backwards says, mirroring the final boss from that says 'To win the game you must kill me, John Romero', backwards. John Romero and are both makers of and Half-Life: Opposing Force, respectively. In addition, dsbossit means 'Doom sound, Boss sighted' and is the filename used for the equal sound in Doom II. In the room below Shepard's dormitory at the beginning of the chapter Boot Camp, if the player uses 'noclip' and goes into the room, they will find a dark area with the initials, 'D.M.M 1999'. Is the initials of David Mertz, an employee of Gearbox and also the developer, while 1999 is the release date for Opposing Force. This is the only Half-Life game to feature night vision instead of the flashlight.References.
