I'd guess around $60-75 with all the necessary packing and insurance to get it somewhere in the continental U.S. I live in Denver, CO and would be cool with local pickup if you're somewhere in the area and want to avoid paying for shipping.

Confirmed: Apple Can Enable Dual GPU and On-the-Fly Switching in ...

[Gizmodo] While you can argue that Hybrid SLI—using both GPUs at once—has a limited, balls-to-the-wall utility, being able to switch between the integrated 9400M and discrete 9600M GT on the fly without logging out would obviously be enormously easier than the current setup, and allow for some more creative automatic energy preferences—discrete when plugged in, integrated on battery.

Marware CEO Sleeve for iPhone 3G - Review

[MyMac.com: Macintosh reviews and editorials] As with most cases, the first thing that you discover is that it’s probably better to insert your iPhone top down so that you don’t inadvertently lower the ringer volume as I kept doing for the first few days or so. Maybe it’s just being old fashioned but I found myself inserting the iPhone touch screen in towards the body as I viewed it as providing a bit more protection to the touch screen.

Apple set to report Q4 Earnings October 21

[Edible Apple] Analysts, however, do correctly point out that the iPod line from Apple seems to have run its course. While the days of iPod as king are behind us, Apple has shown itself to be quite adept at introducing new iPods with small but significant upgrades that keep consumers coming back for newer models. So while the market for iPods and other mp3 players is indeed saturated, Apple is able to counteract this with new models that consumers are willing to pay for. But even if iPod sales start to shrink dramatically, analysts, for whatever reason, seem to quickly gloss over the record setting number of Macs Apple is selling each and every quarter. When it comes to profit margins, the Mac is Apple’s MVP, yet analysts like to focus on the impending decline of the iPod. Moreover, with the iPhone selling even better than expected, there seems to be no shortage of promising news coming out of Cupertino. But if history is any indication, don’t expect the analysts to fully understand what’s going on.

Apple’s US PC Growth is Even Better Than It Seems

FireWire feedback from readers and Apple

[The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)] Well, you can use FireWire as a network device (which is why you can connect two FireWire devices together and then transfer stuff back and forth, like DV cameras or decks for instance), and IIRC there were FireWire to ethernet adaptors that would let you access traditional ethernet stuff from a FireWire connection, but I don't think there is anything that goes the opposite way.
