Just buy the CDs. Better quality, you have a physical CD, and as an example, you can get the blue album for �5 from high street stores (�8.99 on Amazon who always seem to be expensive for music and DVDs these days), on iTunes it is �17.99. :rolleyes:

I don�t want Flash banner ads crashing my phone and slowing my connection.
I DO want sites like Hulu to be able to deliver Flash-based standalone player apps. Adobe and Apple ARE making that possible, so I�m content.
If Adobe ever makes an efficient, stable Flash for OS X (mobile and otherwise) then I�d be upset if Apple didn�t allow it. But I�d also disable it :o

I think due to the extraordinary bad timing of the earthquake in Japan, in the end Apple will have to admit that due to critical parts shortages of iPad 2 components normally made in Japan, they can no longer keep up with demand for the iPad 2, hence the problem with supplying them to Best Buy stores. Don't be surprised that Apple may even announce suspension of all iPad 2 sales and then resume them middle to late summer as the parts supply situation is resolved.

Typical machead responses on this thread:
microsoft wireless media player - aww that's sooo stupid...
apple wireless media player (when it comes out) - aww that's sooo cool...
now go drink your kool-aid everyone...:)
When 60 million people are drinking the same kool-aid, common sense would tell you it's great and you should give it a try :)
edit: and before you say that MS has 90% of the computing environment and i should try that kool-aid because it must be great. I did try it and it's skunk water!

Clive at Five, you need to check up on your facts. Sam's kids actually have very little to do with the company at all. Other than making money from it, they are really not involved in the business operations/decisions of the company.
Sam's daughter got busted a few times for DUI. After the last one, she decided it'd be better to pack up and relocate to Ft. Worth, Texas and raise horses on her ranch than to stay in NW Arkansas.
HecubusPro, from Arkansas here. You from Bentonville?
Peace.

Skunk, all that you have presented above is one interpretation based on things we know about the history of the Canaanite people. This proposition posits that the history the Bible describes is not factually based, but a reinterpretation.
As I said before, I agree that much of the Canaanite people practiced polytheism. However, I believe, as scripture details, that God established a covenant with Abraham and from this covenant the Jewish nation was born. This action precipitated a change from polytheism to monotheism. I don't believe the commonalities that you point to indicate revisionist history. Many religions and mythologies share common concepts, common language, common historical figures, etc. Take Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as an example. They each have their own concepts of historical figures like Abraham and Jesus.
I understand that you think your view of the evidence is the correct view and I respect your right to have that opinion. However, the whole of both the Jewish and the Christian faith would disagree.

That just seems wrong. Something looks fishy here. Do you know if it was just that location?
Not sure if it was just this location, but everyone was complaining. The ipads came in single boxes with ipad and apple care inside, so I assume that it is part of the deal with Apple.

I don't see how adjusting the UI at the last minute could be any sort of OK. Do you really want developers using the Tiger finder for the next 7 months, and then all of the sudden Apple goes BAM (Emeril Style) and puts in a brand new finder.
a) apple did the exact same thing with OS X. aqua was kept under wraps for a long, long time from the general public and public developers. up until maybe a year before hand we all though OS X was going to look like OS 9.
b) if you work with big software makers you'll know that top tier developers get access to things that aren't made publicly available months and years in advance. the last alpha/beta cycle i participated in started one month after the latest release (and i was on the second invite list).
I want those developers to be able to integrate the finder with their apps. If all Apple is doing is adjusting some colors or icons or something, then we shouldn't be excited about the new finder in the first place. But if Apple is going to do some major revamping, shame on them for keeping it a secret.
People need time to work with it and find all the kinks, especially if it is dramatically different from Tiger
a) see above regarding developers. just because we didn't see it in the keynote doesn't mean that the developers haven't
b) app developers don't really integrate with the finder.
c) tiger represented a big shift in OS X development. apple publicly stated that their APIs, previously a moving target, were basically being locked down. what that means is developers don't have to worry (as much) about under the hood changes. if the file browser dialog changes dramatically between now and next spring developers should theoretically have to do nothing, their function/method calls are just calls.

initial backup over wifi (required) then future incremental (smaller) backups could be over 3G. the iPhone already tells you when an app is to large to update w/o wifi - it's already been training us about what we can and can't do w/o wifi.
who determines what qualify as future incremental backups? What if I do my initial (required) backup over wifi, then add 5gb of photos? Don't think the wireless carriers are going to go for that.
But that's besides the point... i was referring to apple giving everyone free cloud storage.
As of January this year, over 160 million iDevices have been sold. Consider maybe an average of 20gb per device and apple is looking to give out 3.2 billion GB of cloud storage to it's customers. Something tells me this is not going to happen. You think they want to let everyone back up their 64gb iPod touches to the cloud. You think apple or att/verizon is going to be ok with people backing up their 32gb iPhones to the cloud? No way, not a chance...

I do understand people hate for 3D displays, but people calling it a fad, it's not. Not any more anyways.
It is now a part of technological evolution for TVs and image devices.
Calling 3D a fad right now is like calling colour TV a fad in the 1950s. Just like how colour TV to start wasn't perfect, 3D isn't perfect yet either.
We all know Apple is the king of imaging technologies, they wouldn't release a product with something like a 3D screen without it being perfect and "magical".

This Apple page shows much shorter serial number ranges that the original MacRumors article.

So which is it? The Apple page has to be considered official, but the MacRumors article would get me a brand new battery. :confused: :p

Good question. The FAQ you've linked to quotes:

While the actual recall site, https://support.apple.com/ibook_powerbook/batteryexchange/ (which is linked from the FAQ site) quotes:

I expect the dust will settle, eventually.

makes it obvious that over 50% of the people on the Apple forums were and are blinded by only being able to "see the future" in terms of the past.
When I saw the iPod, I bought APPL stock at $20/share. It is now by far my biggest stock holding in terms of $$$.
Just had to check it: iPod was released Oct 23rd 2001 for $399. Assuming 8.25% sales tax that would be $431.92. That bought 23.8 AAPL shares at the closing prices of $18.14. There was a split, so you would have 47.6 shares worth $330.67 at close on March 18th, for a total of $15,740.
I conclude that all those people buying iPods had not the slightest clue how the Apple share price would develop :D

After our vacation to safari in Kenya, we flew our safari driver to America because he seemed very fascinated with america. One of the first things he noticed was "why are all the violent crimes on the media by blacks?"
His words, not mine.
From my two weeks in Kenya and from the testimony of my aunt and uncle who have been there for two years, I understand that Black culture is much more family oriented in Kenya. For the most part the culture is based on the family system and people behave (which is astounding bc all the poverty, packed urban living, and lack of reliable law enforcement would all seem to suggest it would be the other way around)

The local BB was listing all varieties in stock online a few hours ago. I was 3rd inline as the doors opened.
The dude says "We have NO iPad(2)s." - they have been showing iPad(1) on hand, and seem to have some around still at $100 off.
I consider this just folly, and borderline 'bait-and-switch'.
I wonder how many other stores have ZERO stock, especially after the rumor about conflict with Apple about stock being held back.
It doesn't really matter to me, my Apple online order is scheduled for delivery 10 days from now. I just wanted to see if there would be a line (I got inline about 5 min prior to doors opening) and what sort of inventory was on hand.
Now I know.

I don't want to be the one to tell you, but Americans hold no allegiance to NATO or to the United Nations. In addition, no treaties or otherwise passed by these two organizations have any legal effect on our sovereign nation.May I quote your precious Constitution?
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
Perhaps you missed that bit.
