A) Get another Genius appointment and take this [still kernel-panicking for no reason even with brand new motherboard iMac] back to the Store for more warranty-enabled service work, or;
B) Call Applecare as soon as they open at 9am EST and ask how to exchange this "build-to-order" POS for another "build-to-order" iMac without paying some goddamn restocking fee, or how to get my $2000 back.

u hve probably tried this, and it's basically the same as running disk utility, but have you tried starting up in single-user mode and running "/sbin/fsck -fy" ? if that comes up clean then it definitely is not your HD (bad sectors, etc.) .and must be some borked NON-motherboard piece of hardware on the thing but it's like the time i got hives after taking dayquil, i went to the doctor and they're like "well you're allergic to dayquil" and i'm like "yes, but what specifically am i allergic to?" and they're like "we don't know, dayquil has like 14 things in it."

Honestly I'll do that and run DU out of a sense of diligence and optimism that perhaps it really is some kind of trivial issue but I'm so, so sick of fucking with this thing already.

Today's WWDC keynote was really insulting. There's not a single thing mentioned that's of any interest to me (or most mac users I know) at all. Gotta love that Steve's big deal was explaining that all these years after Outlook made us hate getting e-mail, you can now replicate that awful experience with Mac OS. If I can't get this iMac's issues worked out it's fucking newegg.com for me.

For me, core animation is pretty goddamn cool. If you hate Mail, then switch to Thunderbird already and stop crying.

Yeah, I think that was the argument just being made re: stfu about your really piss-poor Outlook rip off and its ability to turn into a to-do list!

The most exiting thing was moving the graphics slot so a double width card didn't block a slot and a novel way of mounting hard drives.

I have spent the better part of a day thinking about what my $Mac could buy in $PC and have decided that unless they somehow miraculously find out that my computer is perfectly fine after I take it back in this afternoon, I'm going to ask for a straight refund, and I'm going to buy a shuttle pc with Office & XP Pro and I'm going to run Ubuntu on the back half.
Fuck Apple and their Aqua Music Chat Party Store People Plan.

gapless playback, does .flacs
basically this is what i've been looking for for years - a replacement for SoundApp
i have gotten excited about music all over again. i have spent the last hour cleaning out my old music folder, creating Smart Folders in the finder to duplicate the smart playlists i used to have and g*ddamn it it's DONE. even the "use the search box to immediately filter library" functionality is there - cause i use the finder for all that crap. let the finder be the finder, let cog be cog

i would like the ability to edit ID3 info on the fly (but iTunes doesn't do that either)
new versions apparently offer suspiciously spruced-up appearance. i hope they don't ruin it.
for those who want even more of a stripped down experience, i have also found this, which, while not exactly an iTunes replacement, is far preferable than firing up a whole Store System/Library Manager in order to hear some track you are 75% sure you're going to delete anyway; it's very nice and doesn't even open an app icon in the dock - it just plays what's opened with it and quits as soon as that thing's done - "taply" - http://www.bluem.net/downloads/taply-en/
