Yes, it's a plug-in for the forum system that inserts our affiliate link for several online stores when linked to in the forums. It's been in use for a couple of years.
It's certainly not an uncommon practice, and we do have to make a living. :) We do make a point to mention affiliate linking when it's done on news stories, but I'm not sure where and how would be the best place to do it in the forums.
While we don't alert each and every poster of the practice, we certainly have no wish to hide that we're doing it.
Edit: Or see arn's even more official response above. :)

You know who will fall for that? People who fell for the iPad in the first place.

The title says it all... rumor.

Thanks for the votes, everyone. I'm choked up inside, right now.
*clears throat* w00t!
In the great wealth, the great firmament of this forum's generosity, the particular choice may perhaps be found by future generations as a trifle eccentric, but the mere fact of it -- the prodigal, pure, human kindness of it -- must be seen as a beautiful star in that firmament which shines upon me at this moment. The one avatar I spend the least amount of time on, wins... go figure. Also special thanks to Sir Laurence Oliver! ;)Here's to the Crazy Ones http://forums.macrumors.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35452 (http://www.uriah.com/apple-qt/movies/think-different.mov)

Okay that says your not getting the 4.2.1 firmware to take...
Get firmware here; http://appldnld.apple.com/iPad/061-9857.20101122.VGthy/iPad1,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw
Note on a windows system you'll need to rename iPad1,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.zip to iPad1,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw
Is this what you are doing?
1). Get the latest TinyUmbrella.
2). Open TinyUmbrella
3). Plug in your device and save SHSH (make sure 4.2.1 SHSH were saved, if not don't bother continuing.
4). Start TSS Server (If you get errors read the help section or FAQs or comment below typically it fails because you have some kind of web sharing enabled... use google to fix it - your issue really not much I can do...)
5). Open iTunes
6). Select your device in iTunes
7). Shift(windows) / Option(Mac) restore -> Select the 4.2.1 ipsw (iPad1,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw)
Restore SHOULD error with a 1013 error. Click the "ok's" and close iTunes.
8). With your device sitting with the usb pointing to iTunes (recovery mode), enter DFU by pressing and holding HOME + POWER until your screen goes black... then after a count of 2 (1.5-2 seconds) let go of POWER but keep holding HOME. If all goes well you will see nothing but a black screen. If your timing is even a LITTLE bit off, you will see the apple logo and your phone will boot back into recovery mode... Go back to step 8 and try again.
Start 'Fix Recovery'
Click 'Yes'
Your device's screen will turn white and you'll see debug boot information.
Eventually your device will boot into the activation screen.d
Congrats. You're on 4.2.1 (again)? :)
Nice write up Dav1; good job.

The current MacBook I have is the 2008 unibody. It was the initial launch unit for the switch to the aluminum casing.
But I see your point. And as I previously said, the iPad isn't a replacement, but more of merely an interim solution, and a chance to purchase something I was in the market for to begin with.
I would really appreciate some input on how to go about doing this. Believe me, I hate wasting money just as much as the next person, so I appreciate the concern. But I feel confident with my decision thus far, and hope to remain so.
So if anyone has any advice for how to do this transition best, it would be much appreciated.

Hmmm, so many times the system is awake but the back light isn't coming on? I'll have to try that with mine, I always figured my system was totally frozen since shutting the lid did nothing & hitting space bar didn't do anything. I'll see if really it still will react to being told to sleep again. I'm really wondering if this is still just a software bug or some kind or logic or hardware problem. My nearest apple store is 75 miles away & I figure this wouldn't be a same day swap/replacement...
I have the same issue, I 'm calling apple tomorrow.

I would have to vote for Sufjan Stevens' five Christmas EPs. But besides those EPs, I have no Christmas albums. I do sometimes download a single Christmas song, though. I now have fifty. Of those, my favourites are Fairytale Of New York by the Pogues, Little Drummer Boy by Tori Amos, Christmas Party by The Walkmen, Christmas In America by Melissa Etheridge and Mery Christmas Darling by The Carpenters. All I Want For Christmas by Daffy Duck is pretty awesome as well.

Hi,
I am looking for an analog-digital converter to use with home movies from 10-12 years ago from an analog camcorder.
I am deciding between the advc-55 and the advc-100. I have read that both of them are excellent with good source material. However, I am worried that with my older movies, that there will be a noticable difference in quality in the transference to digital.
Can anyone comment on the difference between these two in this respect? Or any other that you think is important (as I may use this for the long-run for other types of projects)?
Thanks so much.

I am looking for an 8GB iPhone shipped to Canada with it's original packaging not unlocked. Thanks!
PS. Be sure to leave a price.
I have one that is in excellent condition, just replaced only a month ago from my local Apple store. Have the original box... earphones still in wrapper from factory NEVER used. Desktop dock and AC adapter everything as if you were buying new today from store. I will not take less than $350.00 including shipping.

This is a 3 min example. it's very sloppy and rough but I hope it shows the concept for yah how to do better hands and you can do a decent job on your copy.
That looks amazing! but i still don't think the sizing is right to put it in front of the ink bottle.....

At least the error message is better than it used to be. :o I think this is a version of the 'Missing Security Token' bug.
I'll hazard a guess, that you didn't check the "Remember Me?" checkbox when you logged in, and your session happened to time out while you were managing attachments. (It's always a good idea to check that checkbox. If you are using someone else's computer, however, be sure to log out when you are done at MacRumors, so nobody else can use your account later.)
Perhaps my guess is wrong. If this problem happens again, please see if my guess fits the circumstances or if you notice any pattern about when it happens.

Can you no longer do volume increments of a quarter-bar in Lion? In Snow Leopard it was alt+shift+volume up/down, but that no longer works in Lion. I liked having precise control of the volume :(
Anyone know if this still exists?

If something similar does make an appearance in the next month or so..... Apple can take a few grand of my cash in exchange for one........ :D

The VMWare tools do more than just help with activation. They have ties to the functionality that allows them to suspend a virtual machine, allows virtual machines to access hardware functions, etc. I'd recommend installing them.

You are laughable. I would love to have a Dual 1.25 even though you think it is slow, I bet it really goes.

Sounds like these things ship pretty quickly.
I understand the plain white box. It's a gift for my fiance and I am sure she'll be fine with that (especially once she realizes the savings just for a box :D )

Perhaps reading other press releases will help you? Unless the app is from a company that already has a strong brand I think a press release is pointless but ymmv.
