MacRumors MacWorld Feed Broken
The macrumors.com live feed of MacWorld was broken just a short time ago. Just after the event started, the intruder started inserting comments into the feed saying things about Steve Jobs dying and other less.. appropriate things. It would appear that the site has been taken down, but you can still continue to follow MacWorld at macworld.com or you can follow macrumors on Twitter.

MacBook Firmware Update to Fix Memory Stability Issues
A few days ago a number of users reported issues with the new Aluminum MacBooks freezing while running 3rd party memory. AppleInsider has reported that a firmware update has been sent out from Apple via Software Update that supposedly fixes the memory reliability issues as well as an issue with the power indicator. Users of the new MacBook should be able to add 3rd party memory into their new laptops again. An issue that should’ve been caught before going into production, but fixed no, nonetheless.

New MacBooks Reported Unstable After Installing 3rd Party RAM
Users of the new Aluminum MacBooks that hit the market in October have been reporting issues of instability after 3rd party RAM upgrades to their laptops. So far, the word from Apple support is to purchase Apple-branded memory upgrades until issues can be resolved. This is the first model of laptop that Apple has pushed out using DDR3 as main memory so the issues likely lie there, however many frustrated users have been forced to purchase memory from Apple to replace their 3rd party upgrade kits. The good news? Apple’s RAM upgrades have gotten much cheaper. A year ago, I helped my parents purchase an iMac which I bought a 3rd party upgrade for it. The upgrade from Apple from 1 to 2GB was a little over $100, but on NewEgg, I bought the kit I needed for around $30 and it worked just fine. For now, it seems that the prices have leveled off with the use of DDR3 (or Apple’s just lower their margins) which is good news to any potential purchasers of the new MacBooks. The Apple memory is Samsung memory with an Apple sticker and at the time of writing I hadn’t heard of anyone trying to use just standard Samsung memory.

Apple Rumored to Have $99 4GB iPhone At Walmart
According to rumors over at Engadget, Walmart is expected to start carrying a cheaper model of the iPhone 3G for only $99 with a 2-year subscription contract. The phone will be offered in a 4GB model for the lower price rather than the 8GB or 16GB offered directly from Apple and AT&T or Best Buy. Rumors about the deal flew earlier this year with a guess at a November 15 launch date at Walmart but that date has long passed. Pictures floating around of a iPhone Reference guide with AT&T and Walmart’s logos on the front inidicating that they will be training employees on activating the phones. A commentator on the Engadget article claimed to work at Sam’s Club (a sister company to Walmart) and said that the iPhone was coming just after Christmas, on December 28. It would make sense for Walmart to not release the product in their stores until after Christmas (after all, Black Friday’s already over), but the date is purely off a commenter’s word. Bringing a smaller model to Walmart could boost sales for the device and bring it to those who couldn’t afford the larger models.
