Well, they could announce it, and offer pre-order programs for apple.com and it would be important for offering Pre-Orders for the other major Ipod Retailers.

Arrested. Not just terminated or fired. ARRESTED. Anyone hoping to catch a leak of next iPhone can keep on dreaming. This only proves that all the speculation from "trusted sources" is a bunch of c**p. Apple has gotten even more secretive and they're serious about it.
As people age they do get more paranoid I figure companies like Apple are the same.
Seen the last stuff from Trump dam he is one out of it dude. I hope he is taking his medication. :rolleyes:

Simply brilliant.
The funny thing is I've made all these jokes about Apple to the horror of the fanboys in other various threads and been attacked viciously! LOL
But none of them seem to be in this thread.
I guess you have to climb out of Steve Jobs' pants leg to join reality. LOL
I predicted from the moment the illegal home invasion happened at the request of Apple that this would come back to bite them in the ass PR wise.
You can debate the illegality of the found iPhone until the cows come home, but this action by Apple is worthy of complete and utter ridicule and derision and makes Steve Jobs look like some cheap ass 3rd world dictator having a self-centered temper tantrum because his keynote got leaked!
POLICE POLICE, MY KEYNOTE GOT LEAKED! BREAK DOWN THE DOOR! LOL
And sure enough, Apple is the laughingstock of the world and on Leno, Letterman, and now John Stewart's Daily Show.
Thanks John, brilliant, couldn't have said it better or certainly funnier myself. :)

I suppose I'm being too cynical, but part of me suspects that AT&T has only created this app to reduce the amount of time their reps spend listing to complaints about dropped calls. I know I've spent a lot of time on the phone with them over the last year. While they're always very cordial and say things like they are "sending out crews to look at towers", etc, nothing changes. In fact, where I live (about an hour south of NYC) things have gotten far worse - not better.
No, you are dead on. Long story, but relevant.
I live right in the middle of what is supposed to be top notch 3G voice and data coverage. Not only do I not have 3G service as indicated, but all phones owned by any ATT customer physically at my home routinely drop into GPRS data.
I called AT&T to inquire and pointed out that the closest fringe area was 3 miles or more in any one direction. This meant according to their own maps, I was in fact 3 miles deep into what was indicated as perfect 3G coverage.
So things were escalated after a few calls totaling several hours to another tier of support.
This gentleman told me I was looking at the voice coverage map, and that I should look at the data coverage map.
So, I looked at the 3G data map, and while the coverage geometry did differ from the voice, I was still 3 miles deep into what was indicated as perfect 3G coverage. Voice or Data.
At this point, they said they were sending an engineer out to take readings.
Knowing that it might be a simple tuning or positioning issue and that every GPS map company on earth reports the wrong position of my physical address by about 1000 ft, I gave them specific GPS coordinates for the address.
A common theme through all of this is that I was promised follow up calls, and never got a single one... I always had to call to follow up with them.
So I call back and get in touch with the tech, and he said the engineer came out and there was perfect 3G coverage.
Hmmm... maybe something is wrong with my phone... so I check the other 3 people who live in the household with 3G capable phones, all different models.
Same problem.
A buddy came over with a 3G phone know to work properly in 3G areas... same problem.
My phone at work in a 3G area, no problem.
I called ATT back with this information including the phone numbers of the other individuals experiencing the same issues at the location. They indicated they would send another truck out to take readings.
My gut feeling at this point was, the guy was at the GPS location 1000ft up the road, not my address.
So I asked them to have the guy give me a call and pull in my driveway to take readings, just to be sure he was at the correct location. They refused.
A few days go by and I contact them again, this time the tech tried to tell me there were no 3G towers in my area, nor would they be in the near future.
Interesting...
Finally the tech admits his maps don't match the coverage maps, and there seems to be coverage showing where he shows no towers for miles.
He contacts his supervisor finds his maps are incorrect. Go figure.
Eventually he transfers me to his supervisor who pretty much told me they have spent enough time on the issue and there was nothing they could do.
For the record, an acceptable solution to me would have been:
1) Correct the coverage map
2) Fix the issue
They chose to let me out of my contract on all lines rather than fix the issue or fix the coverage map.
This was 1 1/2 years ago, and the situation is the same today.
To me, this application seems like a diversion tactic.

They don't have to actually kill those guys, just charge them for a high penalty and they will kill themselves to keep that cash if they can't run away..

for those of you worried about how to input text etc. when a piano keyboard (for example) is on the touch-sensitive pad... in the pictures the touch-pad thing is at least twice the size of the add-on, meaning a big section of unused touchy-space-goodness, used for Inkpad integration or another input. a keyboard and a mixer... that would be sweeeeet.
Also think of the possibilities for school implementation. Some kid craps up his keyboard? just get another add-on out. music lessons? piece of cake with the integrated piano keyboard and mixer. science lessons? optional scientific calculator add on.
whats really cool is you could even have widget like things that can be as small or big as they need to be, to create a truly seamless and intuitive computing experience.
Amazing. Truly Amazing. This is why I love Apple.

Launch FIRST abroad? Nope. That itself voids the entire "rumor."
When has Apple launched a flagship product abroad BEFORE launching it in the States?
It doesn't say Korea first. It says Korea will be simultaneous with U.S. launch.

You know several people in North Carolina with local numbers?
Yes SunCom has an agreement with T-Mobile. SunCom also has an agreement with Cingular, actually when Cingular bought AT&T, Cingular had to divest themselves from alot of markets in North Carolina and these customers were turned over to SunCom. SunCom promptly required every ex-Cingular customer to resign their contracts and purchase new phones. It was a huge stink, all over the news for weeks.
But the agreement would not help in this situation. Since T-Mobile does not have local numbers here, one would have to go with SunCom as there are no local numbers for T-Mobile. In our area Cingular actually leases their block of numbers from Sprint.
Any company you decide to have cellular service with has to offer local numbers in order to use them. US Cellular is similar as they only offer local numbers for the very western part of the state.
The absolute best way to see where the towers are that your cellular provider owns (thus provides local numbers for) is to look at the coverage map for their prepaid service. Most providers only allow the use of prepaid phones on their "owned" networks and charge you for use on other networks.
I worked for Alltel for 3 years and am currently the Market Director for another national CDMA carrier. In my 15 years in the cellular industry, it constantly amazes me that there is cellular service in the US at all. The spectrum (A side and B side radio frequencies) ownership is so fragmented across the US that it is almost impossible to know who owns what, where!
I understand the local numbers thing, but just because North Carolina doesn't get local numbers doesn't mean T-Mobile isn't a real, national carrier.
North Carolina sounds funny when it comes to cell phones. I like Suncom's phone selection a lot better than anyone else's, and it sounds like SunCom's the only way to go out there. Here in Colorado, CDMA dominates, but T-Mobile has a big presence here, too. Cingular is nearly non-existent.
That AT&T thing sounds awful. Did a lawsuit occur in that? Also, I think Cingular's numbers are leased in a lot of places. In case you haven't used the reverse phone lookup on whitepages.com, it will tell you who the service provider is, but everytime I look up the two people I know with Cingular, it comes up saying Blue Licenses Holding, Llc or Routt County Wireless (which isn't a local carrier nor is Denver in Routt County.)
Yeah, the whole spectrum thing is funny. My dad is a doctor, and one of his patients worked for Qwest Wireless, and he put in a tower for us by our house because there was this deadspot nearby. Since Qwest sold their network to Sprint, it's now a Sprint tower, and the funny thing is, it also looks like a T-Mobile tower on their coverage check. And i can't tell if Verizon has one there or not. My phone has bad reception. It's so odd.

Macworld reports (http://www.macworld.com/2006/11/firstlooks/rosetta/index.php) that based on their benchmarks, Apple's Rosetta PowerPC emulation technology for Intel Macs has seen up to 30% improvements in the latest version of Mac OS X (10.4.8). Rosetta is the technology that allows Intel Macs to run PowerPC applications (such as Photoshop and Microsoft Office) which have not yet been released as Universal Binaries.
Apple released the Mac OS X 10.4.8 update on September 29th, 2006 and incorporated a number of improvements (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304200).
Meanwhile, Apple is continuing work on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and provided developers with a new seed today (Build 9A303). This latest Leopard build provides ongoing performance improvements and bug fixes, but continues to have a long list of known issues.
While Leopard is officially expected (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/08/20060807161421.shtml) to be released in Spring of there has been some questionable speculation (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/10/20061030141713.shtml) that Apple may be targeting an earlier release. Apple's Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) release will certainly draw comparisons with Microsoft's upcoming Windows Vista release. According to the BBC, Vista will be available (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6130604.stm) to retail customers on January 30th, while corporate customers will be able to get the newest version of Windows starting on November 30th, 2006.
How much closer does that 30% get us to PPC apps running on a C2D as fast as a G5?
I love how MS managed to maximize their publicity by setting two major release dates... Corporations aren't going to deploy Vista in November, they're going to start trials on it, which is what my company would call "Beta".
I hope Apple doesn't hurry up the Leopard release just because of the Vista timeline. A hurry up release is sure to drop features or sacrifice stability. Apple can set their own schedule here-- they've already shown they can deliver much more reliably than MS has managed.

Here is Princeton's definition of an empire.
Image (http://www.anunews.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/aa-American-empire-map-of-bases-around-world.jpg)
Kind of looks like America is an empire, doesn't it? America has a military presence all around the world. That's like Rome who had a military presence all around the then known world. At the beginning of 2000, America was so powerful and had so much money under Bill Clinton's control, that if it wanted to, they could have taken over the whole world.
America is not an empire in the sense of Rome ... They may be vocal on democracy for other nations but they are not looking to conquer other countries and take them under American rule ... America does not wish to take over the world.

I find it funny how everyone wants lower pricing based on what Dell and other sell computers for.
$299 from dell gets you this:
2.53 Celeron
256MB
80GB
Combo Drive
Intergrated Graphics (of course)
17" CRT
What a computer. Boy oh boy.
Cheap is fine. If someone want a cheap computer, have at it. However when I buy a Mac I know I am getting the best parts out there.
2.0Ghz Core Duos. Bigger Hard Drives. More memory. Faster Graphics.
I don't have to configure the $299 computer to be something worthwhile.
Not to mention, the cost to design such a lovely machine. The cost of the OS and software that comes on it.
I can see them bringing down the mini and maybe the iMac depending on what the updates bring.
But whining for lower prices on the same parts is ridiculous. If you want them to keep Yonah, sure they will drop costs. However most of use want Merom or Conroe, in which cases the prices stay the same.
You can buy the old model if you want to save a few bucks, but keep your whining to yourself.
