iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS are the #1 and #2 selling handsets.
Maybe, when you rank the individual product models. But when you rank the underlying platforms, iOS is no longer leading the pack. Android has taken over the lead and that was to be expected, because Google did the smart thing: Divide and rule. Everybody can build Android gadgets, but only Apple builds iOS devices. And the systems that everybody can use have ALWAYS dominated the market. Just remember Windows vs Mac OS or VHS vs Betamax and Video 2000.

America's military is secondary. The empire is an economic one and the dollar is it's weapon of choice.
Erm, even though the military takes up 1/3 of the federal budget?

You think his fat ass would blend?
LOL. That's the funniest thing I've heard all week! Good one. I think his fat ass wouldn't fit in the blender either... ;)

I'm not surprised, they are probably holding off, so that way when they release iWork/iLife it will be to fanfare rather then just a mediocre entry after the grandiose iPhone.

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:
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.

It is a good deal of greed that separates those who are happy to buy something at $c and sell it at $c + $p from those who decides it is not even worth their while unless $p = 20% * $p...

3D audio cues? How would you get anything above 1D audio cues?
I presume it's a similar notion to the way video games utilize "3D stereo sound" -- the cue will be in relation to the position to the item's placement on the screen. (As it says in the original post.)
So if you have a window on the extreme left side of your screen, you'll hear VoiceOver out of the left speaker; if it's in the middle, you'll hear it equally in both, etc.
EDIT: Heeeeee. Much better explanation posted quicker than my meager attempts. Clearly Chef Medeski is a much better person than I should ever hope to be!

Well done by Jon Stewart... I agree that the iPhone bit lacked research, and I do agree that Gizmodo crossed a line by buying a stolen device. I see Stewart's critique more in the sense of Apple becoming a Big Brother type of company, systematically favoring short term profits over long term customer relations and the high end quality that characterized them, and using its recent somewhat dominant position to push their media tech agenda.
I understand it is a big corporation and thus it behaves like one.... but Apple's loosing a key aspect of what made them successful, and made me loyal to them: the didn't thought of themselves as such and made an effort to keep their soul. Now I wonder what's Apple long term strategy... becoming the next Microsoft? or keep the competitive advantage that made them successful by staying within some limits?

My 802.11b card transmits its MAC address on a broadcast when its on. My phone transmits its SIM card number.I think you are agreeing with their point, that our devices identify us and are not hard to track, while taking issue with their choice of example. Is that right?

I've been looking at the same setup but start off with maybe 8Gbs and expand from there. The following website is what I've been looking at: http://lime-technology.com/
I'm looking at the server that has 12 bays. I don't know how all this stuff works yet...but I'm learning. There is also a forum that has a lot of good info.
Keep us posted on what you decide.

Why would anyone with half an ounce of common sense buy the 750GB HD from Apple directly for the Mac Pro for a $399 upgrade for the first one and then $599 for each additional one when you can just buy a new one (or two or three) from Fry's.com for $159 each (http://www.frys.com/product/4924331)?!
As of right now, you cannot buy one for $159 each. Read the page: it says "currently unavailable."

This is what I want Mac OS X to have:
Say you have a Folder called "Folder A" and it has files "File A", "File B" and "File C" in it. Now imagine that you are copying another instance of "Folder A" that has files "File C", "File D" and File E".
Windows will first, tell you that "Folder A" already exists, and would you like to copy to the same location. If you say yes, Windows continues. It then will tell you that "File C" already exists and tell you which one is newer and give you the option to keep the newer or older file before it continues to copy. When the computer is finished copying, you end up with "File A", "File B", "File C (newer or older, depending on which you chose to keep)", "File D" & "File E".
Nice, Neat & Easy.
Mac OS X on the other hand has a dramatically different approach.
Mac OS X will warn you that "Folder A" already exists, and if you choose to continue anyway, you will lose "File A" & "File B". You will be given "File C" from the source folder without the option to choose which one to keep.
To me, the Mac OS X method of dealing with this is frakkin' nuts! Why do they not give the option to merge? I know that there are 3rd party Finder extensions and replacements that allow this, but why should we have to pay for that.
My biggest complaint against Mac OS X is this. I hope to see this functionality appear in Lion.
Cheers!

Sorry but that's not the case, created an account just recently to provide my input on this issue on another thread. I am 3 iPads down with problems and still hoping the 4th will arrive with no leakage or dead pixels. I'm glad yours is "absolute fine" but if you do a search or just ask around you will find this is a widespread problem
Ha ha ha! Way to prove you arent a Samsung rep..."3 iPad's down", give me a break, nobody could go through 3 iPad 2's with how tight supply has been. Take a hike.

My god, have you been onto Justin's site? (Justinlong.net) His posts make my eyes bleed. I'm pretty sure the whole 50 paragraphs into 1 giant one was on purpose.

I am considering which version to buy. Is it better to run under Mac OS or Windows 7 via Bootcamp? My computer is MBP 2010 17".
No need to consider. Buy it on Mac, and you get it on Windows too. Buy it on Windows, get the Mac version too. All you need is the Steam app installed in each OS, from www.steampowered.com. The best part is that your save games auto sync between the two sides, using the built in SteamCloud service. You can flip back and forth all you want.

Oh please. word opens in like less than a second and I only have a core duo and 1.5gbs of ram.
On my core duo 2GHz 1GB RAM MB, Word can take 10-12 seconds before actually bringing up the project gallery window. now, this won't take that long again so long as i dont reboot my computer, but after word is up, it begins to lag to the point when it takes slightly longer to respond to my keystrokes. it can actually be frustrating when writing really long papers. I plan on getting more RAM, hopefully that'll do the trick.

Same here Toeknee, for my C2D Macbook.
Software update doesn't show this Firmware update as well. Perhaps it's for the CD Macbooks?
My C2D MBPro has the following firmware:
Boot ROM Version: MBP22.00A5.B00
Guess it is not needed afterall.

"Empire" is nothing but an ancient notion for a federation with a relatively large territory governed by a president (instead of emperor/empress). The Russian Empire is now called Russian Federation. The German Empire is called Federal Republic of Germany.
The United States government rules at least 50 countries, so it's certainly an empire. I'm obviously talking about Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California... and another 45 countries from sea to shining sea.

Apple is not the only company that makes software that makes DVD's. Roxio has been doing it for years and their product actually has been updated in recent memory.
I've never seen better DVD menu templates than iDVD - animated menus etc. The templates in Rixo ( titanium ) or even Adobe Premier Elements are all static - all pretty boring.
