if i'm paying for a digital subscription, there's no reason why i should also have to look at ads.
i can see why there are ads for a print edition, due to printing costs, paper, and shipping, but none of those exist for a digital edition.
It's the other way around - the cover price more or less covers the cost of paper et al, and the major revenue comes off advertising. Even if it costs only 1% of the paper price to create the e-version, the firm isn't going to accept $1 or $2 from your subscription in lieu of the maybe $3-5 it makes (per copy) from selling the ad space.

I really hope this is a reality. It seems to me that we'll be lucky if the iPhone even shows itself in 2007. Either way, I'll be paying more every month for my non-contract plan and waiting patiently for Apple to get this thing in the can.

If anyone can pull off a great cell phone design (both hardware and software) it's Apple.
I checked out the new "Chocolate" phone...wasn't impressed personally.
I continue to hope this happens, but given my distaste concerning current cell phones I won't lose any sleep if this doesn't come to light for some time.

I happen to have the displeasure of knowing a good many more than I'd like to, and I'm telling you there's no way that a full 45% of that student body are blue-blooded Mac users. Princetonians are a people lacking utterly in subtlety and charm, and even poorer in aesthetic intuition. They're the people who pose with upturned collars! I can't stress strongly enough: These people aren't Mac users. They're switcheurs.
Has it occured to you that your smug elitism and gross stereotyping is exactly why lots of people hate Ivy Leaguers in the first place?
You should at least recognize that time change. Some Ivy League schools were aggressively phasing out Macs less than a decade ago, and as recent as five years ago. That's enough time for the undergrad population to turn over several times.

I liked the first version of Portal. It was nice of Steam to have the first one for free when I first got it. I am not sure if I am going to get the new version yet since $50 does seem a bit too much for that type of game.
I am glad that it is coming out at the same time that releases for other systems as well as opposed to having to wait several months to get a Mac port.

Exactly. Its called being a kid. Luckily, you'll age out of it. Until then, suck it up and get used to it.
Exactly, you're a child, a minor, a non-voter, you have no adult rights and the reason you're still at school is to learn...
If your IT admin who understand the network, administer the network and have to fix all the problems caused by students that don't know much at all, then they are well within their right (as adults, teachers, professionals) to do what they ned to to protect the investment in their infrastructure.
Consider it a learning experience, these people know more than you.
I'm sure if you ask nicely they'll give it back.

In a way this makes the iPhone cheaper, seeing how I will save on a GPS device :cool:. Although right now iPhones tell me to drive into buildings in my city, so a revamp of the whole thing is always good.
LOL, this reminded me of the Office episode where GPS tells Michael to drive into the lake, and he does.

stretching ear lobes is fun!! im at 8 right now, going up to 2 in a month or so. ;)
OOoooowwwww...... (well, it looks like it hurts!)
but I have no idea of what those numbers mean...
also , I don't think I have the look to get away with stretching my lobes. :p
nope, plain vanilla 2nd set of holes. For studs. Because wearing 2 sets of hoops at once looks a little .... not my cup of tea, I can't get away with it, either. :p
got pics of your ear? :)

This x 100.
People are really stupid, sometimes.
See above comment as it applies to you. Not sure if you can read this with your tinfoil hat falling off of your head and covering your eyes, though.
I could just as easily call you a sheeple. Blindly following everything Apple says.
*zombie eyes* Yes the white iPhone 4 will be at launch. In a month. In the Fall. In the Spring. Sometime soon...
*zombie eyes* Yes Apple, there are no Antenna problems
You are simply holding on the blind faith that there will be no iPad 3 JUST because of that one slide and think I'm the loony one? Apple is a company, they want to make sales. There were iPad 3 rumors all over the place. They were right to say that wether an iPad 3 comes in 2011 or not. They used it because it went along with their theme that the iPad was the year of 2010. It is simply a marketing word choice, not a sneak peek of their product cycle. Get a grip.
Again, I'm not saying that we will see an iPad in 2011. I'm just saying that when Apple says "jump" I'm not going to say "how high". That slide has no bearing on when the iPad 3 will be coming out.

When ethnic minority street prostitutes in Chinese border towns can turn down �100 (�10) for 30 minutes work I think they are doing pretty well - that's more than I earn for 30 minutes work.How long have you been in the business?

yes, There are lots of reasons why people get bod mods.
I personally dont worry about society, wether I fit in or if I should try to stand apart.... etc There are people who do have that mentality though.
If it makes me happy thats the only reason I do something, Its my life so I dont care what society thinks, I dont worry about social norms, Designer clothes, fancy cars etc, If I like a meterial object I buy it (not caring if its from Goodwill or Nieman Marcus), if I want to pierce myself because I want to accentuate my eyes and brows and if it will make me happy I will.... I live my life by my rules, and dont care about trying to seperate myself from the heard.
I hope you understand what I am getting at.... Im not very wordly
i understand what you are saying, but thats because i live the same way, and if someone cant accept me for who i am, oh well their loss (just glad this new person in my life likes my additions). Piercings and tattoos are not a fad for me, nor are they just simply a form of expression. they are me and who i am. every piercing is different, as is every tattoo, similar maybe.... and i plan on more of both, and i will end up drawing the majority of my tattoos in the end, and they all have significance. the piercings will remain for years to come if i have my way.
i dont do this to fit into a particular crowd, i do it for my own pleasure, and to improve upon myself, to perfect myself, and i dont care what society or anyone else things. i dictate my life.

The new Xserver is whole lotta machine for the money. I don't see Dell's feature set coming anywhere near the Xserver.
Dell has the advantage of a much more complete server lineup. Apple only offers a 1U configuration with a single operating system and very limited options. Good for Mac users who want a server, bad for enterprise sales.

Which is why he said he is either delusional OR a liar. Basically he is blowing smoke up everybody's ***. You can't deny that there is a signal issue. It is very easily reproduced. Also it is not just the bars, but a lot of times the call will get choppy or drop. Then when you take your fingers off it is clear as a crystal.

I'll get slammed for this - but I don't care. Apple is playing a big part in the dumbing down of (some of) society by taking control/options away from users and keeping a walled garden. And I don't want/intend this to turn into a debate about walled/not; security; etc. My point is - that Apple and several other companies/educational institutions and even parents are increasingly participating in the dumbing down of America/other countries.
Apple doesn't want users to have to worry about x, y and z. That's GREAT. It really is. But at the same time - but taking users away from understanding the technology they are using - they are also contributing to the very thing they are (in Steve's latest speech) trying to avoid.
I'd love a car that is "maintenance free." Until the car actually needed some work done. If I have to rely on a 3rd party to do that maintenance and I can't do it myself - then it means those skills will never be learned or used (naturally.) I don't always see this as a positive.
I'm able to do a lot of electrical work and computer/video/etc repair work on my own because I was able to (when I was young) take things apart, learn how things worked inside and out.
I'll stop rambling...
Yeah it was hard to follow...but nobody should "slam" you for it. Stay well

i work for a company with close to 300 employees and we won't upgrade to vista anytime soon. maybe in two years. or later. xp simply is good enough for everything we do.
my guess is that the consumer sector will drive the switch because they buy new comps with vista oem on them and switch that way. businesses will follow much later.

I don't know when the real release date will be for iPhone 5, but I don't think Apple wants people to know the real date. If people think September, more people will buy the iPhone 4 now. Misinformation should be likely for the next few months as they try to get people to buy phones now as they need them. The folks that are already out of contract and willing to wait til Sept will be happy if it comes out in June, but having people stop buying phones from April to June is not what Apple wants.

Actually the recent news about the location db is a completely unrelated issue.
1. Apple does collect location data in order to improve their location services. This was long ago disclosed to regulators and users. This is NOT the target of the recent media buzz.
2. Your phone dynamically creates a local cache of known cell tower locations in order to aid in GPS triangulation (the "a" in aGPS). This is the recent hot topic and has been grossly misrepresented by the media. (Apple does not collect this data, because they sent it to you in the first place)
Oddly enough ALL cellular phones on GSM create a local cache of known cell tower locations - this is agnostic of GPS and has nothing to do with it. Long time WinMobile 6/6.1/PE and Nokia S60 2nd/3rd Edition users that have used CellLOCK or a similar apps can attest to this.

I've owned every iPhone, and every new iPhone running X.0, runs beautifully, only to be slowed down and negatively effected by every single interim update.
The explain to us, why are you still updating? Incremental updates are usually not worth the trouble.

Why take that attitude? Sometimes it is nothing more than a simple mistake. However, if you automatically start to throw defenses up, you will make people think that you have something to hide. I would simply lock the device and hand it over then retrieve it on the way home. No biggie.
I didn't really have anything to hide but things I just didn't want the school or principal to see, nothing illegal or anything like that. Just personal things and also information that is confidential to the family.
