Apple's online store currently says orders for the 27-inch iMac will be shipped in two weeks, which means the machines would not likely arrive until after the Christmas holiday. News of the delay was reported earlier by Apple news sites including Apple Insider.
The delays come as new retail sales data show that Apple desktop computers are surging in popularity.

I'm now a Mac... a 27" iMac to be specific, and loving it. I've had no troubles and the HUGE screen is wonderful to work with. I'll blog my move from Windows to the Mac over the holidays when I have more time... Cheers!
It's amazing to me that the Norton Internet Security 2009 software I have installed on my daughter's computer can not detect the "Internet Security 2010 virus" that looks so much like norton antivirus software. Even though this virus is so obnoxious... Popping up fake windows, flashing the background... it's also removed things like the taskmgr, so I can't get rid of it. I have no choice but the nuclear option of formatting the disk and reinstalling the operating system. So much for Norton...
I Stumbled across Tal Wilkenfeld while looking for a Charlie Parker album on iTunes. As I scanned the "Listeners Also Bought" box and saw all the usual suspects (Victor Wooten, Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, etc...) Tal's, name caught my eye. (don't ask me why a line of bass players showed up... I just searched for "Au Privave" and their they were...) I've never heard of her but you can listen to some of her cuts here. I highly recommend the album. She's a very talented bass player and the music is interesting and fun.
An interesting note of coincidence, I had already seen her play with Jeff Beck at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. I noticed her but didn't put it together with this album until I checked out her website. She looks very different between the Video performance and her album cover.
