    Did I miss something or are we still speculating about the so called "event" which some podcast mistakenly thought was an official invite to an Apple Press event in CA?

    So far, no-one has been officially been invoted have they? It's just hearsay.

    Anyone got a link to anything "official" about this?

    Unless Apple does a silent update on 12th, then I think we're all gonna get mightily disappointed.

    I could be wrong however :cool:

    ...The title of the demo is "Device Drivers: Don't build a house on shaky ground." They are drawing attention to a serious problem and most people here are missing the point because all the blood rushed to their heads when they saw the Mac logo.

    They clearly say this is not Apple's problem, it's because of buggy code in a 3rd party driver. They're using the Mac for a reason here-- they are specifically making the point that it doesn't matter how much trust you put into your OS vendor, you can get hosed by any poorly made USB thingy that you stick in the side.

    I totally agree with you and I blame the Washington Post for the initial insanity. The headline and article made it sound as if the MacBook was the problem and not the third-party device driver. Obviously, there is a security hole that needs to be addressed by vendors like Apple, but this isn't an Apple hardware problem.

    I may have be initially too dismissive of the article, but that's because of the sudden yellow tint to all the articles regarding Macintosh security. The tech-press is ready to wet themselves the moment a Macintosh hole is discovered and far too many people, offended by the Get A Mac commercials, have their long knives sharpened and are just waiting for the opportunity to use them. Some were so quick on the draw I suspect they merely read the headline.

    Unfortunately, you wouldn't because you'd probably be out of business.


    So, what you're saying is that hard copies of DVD's are the wave of the future? :rolleyes:
    Funny, I thought technology was taking over and that downloading mulitmedia was the wave of the future. :confused:
    I believe over a few year period, you would be the one out of business if that's your convicted thought.

    It works great, "Dark Side" and "The Wall" play as intended.He-he... I'm testing "The Wall", too... :)

    Did the "Gapless Determination" detect your The Wall album or did you, like me, have to set the Gapless Album tag yourself...?

    FYI, for those that say "who cares about Walmart" there is this little fact (of which I'm not going to sight a source because I'm busy at work).
    Walmart sells 40% of all DVDs sold in the US.
    Think about that. Of all the places that sell DVDs, of all the places people go, 4 of every 10 is bought at walmart. That is ridicules power, and not something the studios will just gloss over. They will make sure they know what they are doing before making steps forward. Maybe it won't matter at all, but it isn't a number to just ignore.

    Cutting NPR and Union collective bargaining rights are not going to solve our fiscal mess.

    I laugh at this topic...because it's been yapped about for weeks..."just cut NPR and we'll save $40 million!" Wow...$40mill out of trillions. Yeah, great concept. Why don't we cut out public museums, libraries, and parks while we're at it.

    I actually listen to NPR...basically because it's on the classical station I tune into. NPR may be a bit on the Democrat side, but overall I find the stories are at least real news...while offering both sides of the argument.

    Queue all the Fox News freaks...

    I hate subscription models almost as much as I do data caps.

    So buy the full version outright and get data plans with no caps. That's the beauty of a free market - you get to decide what you want and if the cost is worth it.

    i think you are confused my friend... where did i ever say that? In fact earlier in this thread i said...



    then another poster said



    and you replied



    what does being tied to a single iTunes account have to do with charging your iDevice?

    As for wireless sync and inductive charging... dumb idea imo

    I replied with "so you never charge" to say that even with wireless syncing one will have to charge iDevice at some point (matter of days if it's an iPhone, maybe a week if it's an iPod - both in use not just on a shelf). Why drain battery by syncing when you can charge batter while syncing and with wireless sync that can be done by induction charging which is slow and charger is costly ergo makes little sense. I'm all for wireless sync in addition to current wired method though. One more option is good.

    Neither am I. This is not about any race, as in all black people in the world. This is about people who reside in London, England. Just because the crime statistics of a limited geographic area don't fit your world of political correctness, it doesn't mean they are incorrect. Again, you can compare charging decisions and convictions among the various races in a city like London, but there is no way to compare the propensity of a race to commit crimes. How do you know what those numbers are other than to look at who was charged and/or convicted of crimes?

    I rest my case. So, are you suggesting that I fit within this class of attourneys {sic}? And you rest your case? Brilliant. :rolleyes: Yes, I know that some places (e.g. Texas), black people are provided with retarded attourneys who show up intoxicated in court - if showing up at all.

    Can Apple improve battery support to support LTE and A5 processor? I'd love it if they did, but we know Apple likes to take very firm single steps. Maybe it's time to upgrade the screen size to get more under the hood (and stick the antenna back in there).

    Was the one more thing at the iPod event last October the TV shows?

    If so, the one more thing this year could be the Movies.

    I don't think there was a "One More Thing..." from what I remember there were three acts:

    Act I - New iMac with iSight and Front Row/Photo Booth
    Act II - iPod and iTunes, sales, nano's resounding (1 million in 17 days) sales.
    Act III - iPod (with video), TV Shows in iTunes, iTunes 6.

    Is it 1.1, 1.3 or 1.8 million laptop batteries?

    I am glad to see someone else is a little confused and it wasn't just me. I have seen the 1.1 and 1.8, but not the 1.3 million batteries. I just want to know which number it really is.

    I liked the old nano design infinitely better -- just so simple, cool, and perfect. A year ago I was excited to upgrade my mini, which I had always considered ugly, to the sleek, contemporary nano. I don't know... the mini design just never looked good. I can't believe they went back to it, but judging by the comments in this forum, the majority of people seems to like it.

    I'm thinking if aluminum and colors, then why not at least elegant, sleek looking colors like anthrazite, dark brown, or steel grey? Oh well.

    A good photographer can take brilliant photographs with a disposible camera, a bad photographer will still take rubbish photographs with a top end DSLR. :)

    Why are you comparing the users? A good comparison would be the same user (good or bad) using different cameras/mobiles to take photographs.

    I don't understand your argument.

    When solid-state drives come way, way down in price, and can be manufactured in a scaled-down dimension, you might very well see a 128 gig iPod Classic. But as long as the Classic uses a regular hard drive, I don't see any effort on Apple's part to revamp it or issue a larger capacity.

    How about, "we want to invest in the US!"

    Sheeeez!

    There should be a law that states anytime a US company chooses to manufacture something outside the US, the company must post a clearly-articulated-less-than-25-page document stating AND COMPARING why the US is unable to manufacture said product.

    i LOVE them! they're by far the best headphones i've ever had, although the bass does seem kind of exaggerated at times but this is perfect for me as i love lots of bass. the sound leak isn't too bad unless you're playing them at full volume but because of the sound isolation you never really need to turn it up all that much.

    First, you need a lesson on how to have a conversation. Second, Apple is a hardware company. If allowing people to install Windows on their computers will allow them to sell more, then so be it. My company has started letting us purchase Mac now, since it can run some of our Windows only programs. I think bootcamp was a great move. You still have to buy a Mac to use it, so what's the problem.
    Why the **** would Apple ever pre-install Windows on a Mac.

    If they went that route then they might as well just cancel all develop on OS X, because they would need that money to pay Microsoft.

    I honestly feel that Boot Camp is one of the worst things that Apple could ever do, but they had to appease the little kids. But just wait until the first virus hits your Windows partition and screws up the boot sector of your drive and you're unable to start either OS.

    God, some people!
    A lot of resellers are already preinstalling XP on Intel Macs.

    So what electronic has ZERO problems??
    The more features that are packed into something, the more chances of issues. Doesn't make the iPhone 4 a "POS".

    You've never owned one, so you wouldn't know.

    Your veering way off point here. I'm not going to beat the iPhone 4 tragedy anymore, it's been done.

    Of course all electronic devices have faults. Some more then others (iPhone 4). The 3GS had more features then the 3G, but didn't have the issues. Your comments are, quite frankly ridiculous. You don't have to own something to know it's crap. Yugos were crap, and most everyone agrees they were crap... Without owning one.

    I'm sorry I hurt your feelings because I don't like your phone :rolleyes: but that is what this conversation boils down to at this point. My original feelings to the OP were that if Apple waits, they are going to lose customers. If they start routinely lengthening their iPhone releases, they are heading for disaster.

    In fact, they need to start shortening the span, since this market is so competitive. This isn't an attack on your feelings, it's good business.

    Great, That's the guy who "redesigned" iMovie and screwed it up.
    He's also the guy who designed FCP in the first place!

    I edit professionally and I am stoked by what I have seen so far. Anything that makes my life easier is a good thing. I'm glad it is cheaper, although nothing has been said about the other apps such as STP and Motion, or even Color. As others have said, just because amateurs can afford the software, it doesn't mean that they can use it well.
