I wasn't getting a Prince Albert - just a tongue piercing. The piercer was just telling me that he always uses himself as a guinea pig when trying new things. He wouldn't want to subject anyone else to, ahem, errors.

Does any one know?

I think Apple wanted to avoid people dying of heatstroke waiting in the sun so they where going to release it in the winter. But they didn't think it would be good to see their customers giving them frozen bills. LOL

cant say about the US but where i live the iPhone is kinda losing its image, the market seems to be saturated and people are getting sick of seeing iPhones everywhere. the times where "OMG an iPhone" were the norm r long gone and people r looking more and more elsewhere > android. it's kinda like going shopping at H&M ... "its pretty but i dont buy it bc i know a billion other people who own the same pants"

I almost feel like you could take screenshots of tiger and people here would believe that they are from Leopard, since a lot of people are asking for features that already exist. Image previews can be turned on in view options, granted it's a horrible interface and very unintuitive, but it is possible. Also, the profanity filter already exists in parental controls, and as someone already said, bookmark syncing over .mac already exists.

Are people as outraged by this leak as I am? I can't believe it. He just stole Steve's thunder at a later secret event. This will end up costing Apple the element of surprise and the impact of a special Steve announcement. We've got to punish Lion's Gate somehow. We need to boycott all of their films and show that they cannot mess with Apple. The mothership is under attack! Who's with me? :mad:
Right, like industry people haven�t been talking to each other about this.
No thunder stolen as everybody is fixated on the Apple phone, the 200TB iPod with holographic screen and the new G5. I forgot the new Newton, we will all waiting for that.
Will a movie download service really be that much of a break through?
I do believe that if the price is right, the current level of compression and resolution will be fine (annoying, but tolerable.). I will still buy Criterion DVDs and shoot to build a library that is not only resident on my PowerBook. I'd really rather see a good film in a theater.
This service will be a boon for people like me, who don't own or watch TV. This is the one time I could see a plan like NetFlix working for Apple. I would pay for a service that allowed me to have well resolved movies that I can only watch once, or that only work for a few weeks or so.

I updated earlier today, and didn't unplug anything. I had an USB issue after the reboot; the keyboard stopped working. It was plugged into a USB hub. Oddly, the USB hard drive I had plugged into the same hub still worked. (So did my firewire 400 and 800 drives. ) Unplugging and reconnecting the hub solved the problem.
Recommend unplugging hubs.
This was on an iMac 24".

Number 3 is the crucial one. If they offer full HD quality (1080P) they can kill off the stupid Blu-ray/HD-DVD format war before it ever starts. They could use it to sell masive amounts of Apple branded HDTV capable Apple Cinema Displays as well as Intel Macs to be HTPCs. They could sell massive amounts of storage as well if they go into the external disk drive business.
Considering a 3:13 clip is 255 MB on the Quicktime part of the site, I doubt that it is a viable option. That would end up as around 5GB for one hour.

God, I can only hope you are alone. He hardly said anything we didn't know. So you go ahead and punish Lion's Gate if you want to, and if your mom will let you, but I am just happy to hear of some progress in this arena.
Ad feminam attacks aside, I think you may be underestimating the damage this kind of leak will do to Apple. Competitors now have confirmation of Apple's plans and can push for competing deals to be negotiated so that their stores can come out at the same time as Apple's. The leak is an attempt by Lion's Gate to bring more competition into an area that Apple is blazing the trail for. All Mac users should defend Apple and do whatever we can to help the mothership.

I'd get the New Yorker in a minute if it was even remotely priced the way it would be for a print subscription.
The demand is not there because their prices are unrealistic.
The economist offers ipad access free with the print subscription, so now my print editions sits largely unread and I read it on my ipad which is always with me and up to date with latest issues even when I'm on the road, and with the latest update I can quickly start a discussion with friends on interesting articles.
I used to subscribe to wired ( 25 USD per 2 years If I recall ? ) .. and currently get the New Yorker.. but expecting you to pay 5 Dollars a issue, is a joke, with almost zero distribution costs, after the initial investment in a app platform is made, I'd expect ipad only version to be cheaper.. but even if it was the same price I'd switch.

Pretty sure OWC noted that they only found it to be SATA II.
Anyone have a link? My guess is that the optical bus may still be II but I'd be shocked if none of the busses were III considering the last updates of laptop had it.
EDIT: Found it, looks like it's all still II. Wow, that's a major drag for a machine like this, particularly one that is offered with SSD options. They BETTER not botch this on the next update to the Mac Pros (which needs to be sooner rather than later).

I wonder if they will allow the free education ipod touch with the 11" MBA this summer?
i'm hoping so. i think the deal has always applied to the $999 white macbook. (correct me if i'm wrong.)
then again, the ipod touch went up in price last year. i've wondered whether they might change it to "free ipod nano" or something. hope not.
we'll see.

The problem with off-line map data is that it does not get updated automatically and one has to pay for updates (about $70 for US maps for Garmin)

The smaller microbreweries are better than the big ones. I'll take Boulevard or Schlafly (or Spotted Cow when I can get my hands on it, which isn't often enough) over Budweiser or Coors any day, and I'd take toilet water over Natty Light.
I assume you are enjoying a New Glarus Spotted Cow while visiting Wisconsin. It is difficult to find outside their border because they don't distribute out of Wisconsin. I like Spotted Cow but New Glarus also offers some other quite tasty brews as well.
I had my first New Glarus brew when I started doing annual trisp to Road America to see the AMA Superbike races. However, I now live near the Sconi border and it's an easy trip to get it.
I always drink, what I consider good beer IMO, but when micro is not available and I have to drink a macro beer, I usually go for a Grain Belt Primo.

I had heard that they were no longer doing the commercials for exactly this reason, people liked the PC guy and felt bad for him. Guess I heard wrong.

Not quite true. UMTS uses W-CDMA as it's underlying protocol. W-CDMA is a mixture of CDMA and, to a lesser extent, GSM technologies.
W-CDMA is just an air-interface standard. It's not a mixture of anything. It was originally designed for the Japanese FOMA system and was subsequently adopted by the 3G GSM people.
It is a CDMA air interface, but it's unrelated to IS-95, the popular US standard used by Sprint and Verizon that's frequently called "CDMA" as if the terms are interchangable. It doesn't contain any GSM, and it doesn't contain any IS-95. It is, however, like IS-95, a CDMA system, and UMTS, which uses it, is a version of GSM.

...that guy "Scott" who shared the feature demos with Steve was a very good speaker and presenter - perhaps Steve's sucessor? :cool:
How dare you suggest such a horrid thing :eek:
But now that I think about it, I'll probably see Steve's death on CNN sometime in my lifetime. But let's at least hope he'll have a chance to retire first.
