It's neither a math game nor marketing ploy.
Apple is not artificially limiting the number of attendees. It's a facilities issue. They are at maximum capacity for this venue. It's not like they can simply print out 5000 more badges. The fire marshal would shut the place down.
That's why local television coverage of professional sports have their blackouts lifted after a sellout. Not everyone who wants to watch can fit in the stadium/arena.
Thank you for being cool, calm, and logical in your reply. I just had to give you a gold clap for replying the way you did instead of raging like a fanboy.

My mom got her iphone last year. She loves it so much she's been totally into apple stuff (bought herself an ipod touch when it came out - don't ask me when she already has an iphone - and even bought me the new nano).
She says she's probably going to buy a Mac next time (and she used to snub the mac when I was a kid).
Similar experience for me. I had owned Macs since 1991, but switched to a PC in 2003. After getting the iPhone 4 last summer, I was convinced to come "back to the Mac." In February, I replaced my Dell laptop with a new MBP. I'll never go back.

Yep. That is the subwoofer for the Harman Kardon Soundsticks. :)
AH! Thank you! Hahaha, it was kinda bugging me.. I was entranced by it hahaha. So how are you liking those? I've been researching them and trying to save up, but I've heard mixed things about them

While it can seem weird by todays standards... I think it's great to be able to critically listen to them as originally recorded to see what fantastic work and pioneers they were in the studio arena.
Good point, well made. :)

Maybe they will feature the Macbook Air Revision this year ;)
The Macbook Air got an event presentation in Octobre, it's not getting another event spot for what will be a spec bump. It's getting a silent update next.
Mac hardware has not really gotten any keynote time in the last few years. It's mostly been silent updates, even the Mac Mini redesign just showed up one morning.
So these guys pay $1000 to NOT see a keynote??
I'd wager the people paying 1000$ for WWDC don't do it for the keynote (hint, developers going to developer workshops). The keynote is just icing.

Great, another store that carries iPad 2 but won't ever have any in stock. LOL.
Unfortunately I think 80% of iPad 2 supply is going to scalpers and resellers, the moment Apple stores get them in stock they sell out and craigslist is then flooded with heavily marked up iPads. It's kind of ridiculous.
On a related note, isn't it a bit weird Apple hasn't announced any sales figures yet? They're usually quick to brag when devices hit a million sales in a short amount of time.

You may have Windows 7 on your desktop but I doubt if you've ever used it properly. Now I've been a Mac user for a long time and I own an iMac and an MBP but let me tell you this, Windows 7 is definitely much better than Vista.
I really don't want to compare Windows to OSX but after using both Vista and 7, I am very confident when I say that Microsoft has really done a good job with Windows 7. Vista was a disaster though....
Please, elaborate on how one he would have "used it properly" in reference to an OS.
It's an OS. It should get the hell out of your way and let you worry about actually *doing* stuff with your computer. About the best thing I can say about Windows 7 is that it doesn't require me to care about it in the least, so in that, it's a success, although I still far prefer OS X.

Er... I'm with the crowd that says there is nothing new on the banner... but what is that Q above the Finder icon? Definately not quicktime... I'm sure its some program that I don't know.
Also why is a cup of tea/coffee up there? There is a small 3rd party prog that uses the icon, I'm just wondering why its up there... perhaps to promote the use of Macs in coffee shops =)
Anybody know about that Q?
Er whoops sorry... here is the pic :) (http://flickr.com/photos/66488342@N00/206062001/in/set-72157594223273881/)

Not sure about Voice Control... No matter how well it works, I will probably feel strange taking to a phone. And most of the time it's just easier to press a button than to say it.
This might be in response to Google's voice thing though, which also recognizes "Plain English" and works with speech-to-text instead of typing. This might be something cool for writing text messages and stuff like that, as typing on the iPhone isn't the best.

First in line with 10 others. 20 minutes before open an employee here in San Diego stepped out and says
"Are any of you in line for the iPad? Because I thought I just wanted to let you know in case you are waiting...", we are ALL WAITING FOR THE iPad.
He continues, "We don't have any physically in stock, but we can take $100 dollars and put you on our usual waiting list.", we all start to walk away.
He goes on, "No Best Buy in San Diego has any in physical stock..., those ads were created before the Japanese earthquake and things kinda got all messed up."
REALLY? You think they could have canceled the ad a month ago.
BEST BUY ARE BASTARDS!!!!

Useless for me with the iPhone. I charge it via USB anyway, so will just do sync'ing and updates then. Doesn't solve any problems.
With the iPad however, it does help since USB charging is so slow. I don't sync my iPad that often as a result. Although I hope this really means wireless sync'ing, updates are infrequent enough that I don't really care if I have to plug it in.

So how many people here have actually gone up to a girl youve never met and asked if she wants to share your sweaty earbuds? My guess is nobody, because its creepy as hell, its like holding hands with someone you just met. It was just a PR response to a competitors product, I doubt jobs was being serious thinking people with ipods actually do stuff like that on a regular basis.
The Zune isnt really a way to pick up chicks either, I think it was more designed for friends to share music. Even having the debate is pretty pointless, its all marketting mumbo jumbo. Plus last time I checked you can share headphones with a Zune too.
That's almost exactly his point, why would you need to send music to someone when you could just share headphones? MS is jusking asking for virus problems here.

Right. When you eat off of your gear you're always going to find ways to not spend SO MUCH on said gear so you can put more food in your mouth. Which is why I really don't have an issue claiming student-ship if I am able to. I personally don't do it with certain software titles, but I will do it with Apple hardware and others. AVID Media Composer is $2500 regular price give or take a few $100s. The EDU version is $295 . . . . . okay I am going to hop on that EDU bandwagon right now.
I agree, and am fortunate to have a legit edu connection. That said, companies vary on their proof requirements. Apple, in my experience, will give you the edu price by just saying you are a student/teacher/buying it for one. I've seen them sell a Mac at that price to grandparents, etc. Pretty decent policy. MS just requires a .edu email, but then again technet is so cheap that the edu discount pales. of course, with technet using the software in a production environment is a license violation.
Just as the lenses you acquire in still/video photography will cost more than your body, software will be the major cost in building any rig.
Oh ya. I have several pieces of glass that individually cost more than the body. People complain about software lock in; MS / APPLE ?Adobe et. al. have nothing on the camera manufacturers and their proprietary mounts.
Read the comment thoroughly. ANYONE can learn the apps, any goofball like you stated yourself in the bold. I didn't put any time restraint on this goofball. But I did mention that it take far more to be a good designer.

This sounds like a new feature for iOS 5. I'm surprised that nothing has leaked out in regards to what iOS 5 has to offer. The rumor is it's supposed to be a major revamp of the OS, but I am really excited to see it in about a month.

I respect the fact that he and any developer can do what ever they wish, and move on to do other things, but to use the review process as your excuse is lame. Sure, everyone knows and agrees it's a bit harsh of a process, but he's leaving exactly why? Because it's a 2 week wait for approval? Because Apple polices content to make sure it won't hinder performance on the device? The developers all know the rules, and not much has changed from day one. I understand frustration, but this is a bit extreme to prove a point. There are better ways to go about it.
Just my opinion...
I think he did a great job on the app, and I'm disappointed he's walking away from it.

Hopefully that something invovles isight/front row displays that are more reasonable in price.
Agreed. Dream prices:
20"= $450
24"=$600
30"=$1000
They could always fill the $2k dispay spot with a 50", HDTV Capable display that supported 20 million pixles :D

Ugh, this is going to give my PC-loving friends fuel for YEARS. Just like every little crap article that comes out about ANY possible Apple security problem.
If that's true, strongly consider getting some new friends. The previous huge Dell battery recall should be enough to shut them up, at the very least.
I guess I hit the "jackpot": both my 12" Powerbook and 12" iBook battery fall within the recall parameters. Will have to wait for Apple to fix their site so the serial numbers actually work. I uselessly spent about 25 minutes on the phone with AppleCare for no good result: they said try the web site later or call again tomorrow.
I will also have to go to all of my clients and check their batteries. A tedious enough task, but more billable hours for me, I guess. :rolleyes:

I will claim that food stamps are mostly abused. I don't have numbers, but I have eyes, and have known several people that have received food stamps. I have had people I know, as well as strangers, ask me if I would buy their food stamps. I wish food stamps were limited with what you could buy, something like the way WIC does.
What a fabulously foolish and ignorant statement.
I've known several people who have died in car accidents therefore most people die in car accidents :rolleyes:.
I personally live in the middle of Richmond VA which is filled plenty of lower class African Americans, who I walk by on my way to school every day. And in the last three years no one has offered to sell me food stamps. Therefore no one EVER abuses the food stamp program :rolleyes:.
If you can't produce some statistical data than your just making **** up.

Steve looks unhealthy. He's not as sharp as he used to be. His keynotes were flawless. He stuttered several times, forgot what he was saying in mid sentence, and handed a considerable amount of the keynote to other people. Steve was a control freak in past WWDC keynotes.
I think he may be in not-so-good health. But I've said that before.
He was probably up all night worried about how Apple has to restate their earnings. And Stevo is a big part of the SEC's probe.
