Again, we all know its coming. So... where's the news?
I, for one, dont think I'll ever download a movie off iTMS. I was downloading the 1hr + pilot for Psych the other day and that took forever... I'm only excited about the new 'Pods that are bound to be part of such an announcement

Meanwhile Google is still tracking Fandroids in almost real time.
You get what you pay for. ;)
Umm.. not exactly.
Android ASKS you FIRST. And if you change your mind about using their location tracking, you can simply turn it off and it actually stays off. ;)

Singin' in the rain
Just singin' in the rain.
What a glorious feelin'.
I'm happy again.
I'm laughin' at clouds
So dark up above.
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love.
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place.
Come on with the rain.
I've a smile on my face.
I'll walk down the lane
With a happy refrain,
And singin', just singin' in the rain.
Gene Kelly fan Blue Velvet, or do you just like GTIs?!

Yes. Are you also aware that it isn't going to run the kind of software that I was pointing out in my post. Also they do offer an external superdrive for that.
You are not going to be running pro apps on an Air.
That doesn't change the solutions they provided in the Air to compensate for no optical drive. The external option being one of those solutions.
So what is it you don't understand about how Apple could build computers without optical drives while still providing solutions to do the things people need and want to do with them when they have already done this? Just because the MacBook Air isn't powerful enough to run FCS etc. doesn't mean that the solutions they provided are void.

-1 Wrong. They still have distribution costs of the printed version and printing alone accounts for about 25% of their costs.
They just don't have the model down right for one. I agree with others, it should be cheaper than the print version and/or be free when you subscribe to the print version.
The other issue they have is the value of printed magazines is quickly dying. So much information is available for free, it's hard to justify investment in general magazines unless there are specific articles you like to read or it's specialized, like Playboy for example! :D
Oh... wait... that's only going to be available for the future iPad Touch! :p
Umm, printing is 25% of the cost and Apple takes 30%. Add in the bulk mailing per issue, which is very little, and it won't equal what Apple takes. yet people want these magazine companies to take less. Apple reduces their take and we'll see prices per mag go down.

I agree. No wonder the economy is doing so bad if people behaves so carelessly.
Again... this is advertising. ;)
I imagine they bought the cheapest iPad for this. $500 is nothing to pay in exchange for the advertising benefits they'll receive from a video such as this. If it results even in a handful of people buying their product they've turned that purchase into profit. Also, Apple profited from the sale (and also from the appearance of their product).

7 days would be a strange amount of time to wait. Zune is released on the 14th of November. 7 days later, it will have already gotten all the press it's going to get. Releasing the day before, the same day, or even a day after would make a lot more sense. 14th is a Tuesday, so I say the same day, if at all (I think it's more likely we'll see it next year).
I hear you. I sure hope that whenever Apple announces, that they are shipping and are available in the Apple store on the same day. And within days of Zune, I think that would make a huge impact for Apple. Ok, so how about 1 or 2 days after Zune.
I think it will be after for the notion of the last player released will have more staying power on people's minds. Those who aren't already predisposed to what we want... :D

He kind of hit the nail on the head with that diatribe. I especially liked the 1984 big brother reference. Quite appropriate as apple has been acting more like big brother and less "thinking different"
Yes. They failed to realize in 1984, being small up-and-comers and all, that once you do gain power you will always end up like Big Brother in the end.
Doesn't matter if you're a communist leader, innovator, entrepreneur, artist, hippie, fascist, anarchist, liberal, freedom fighter... if you actually do get people to follow your lead, you will ALWAYS end up as a paranoid, self-serving control freak in an ivory tower with all your fancy ideals flying out the window, while pondering how to best squash your detractors and competitors and how to best brain wash the masses into obedience: Thought police, Kool-Aid or The Matrix?
the more the story gets out, it becomes apparent this was a theft!
That's like saying "The more people actually go to theaters and watch Gigli, the more they'll realize that it wasn't as bad as everyone said". Maybe it was the worst movie ever, maybe it wasn't, but it's too late to change public opinion once the snowball has started rolling. And the ones who did bother to watch it and found it not entirely horrible aren't going to admit it.
The bandwagon goes where it wants to go. Once it has decided, however irrationally, that Apple = Gestapo, Apple will have to work 200 times harder to prove that it isn't quite the Hitler's henchmen the rumors speak of. It's not like the bandwagon is going to stop and go "well you know, now that we have more information from both sides I'm starting to see this thing in a whole new light. Apple is cool again in my book!". To turn it around you need to build a 20 ft concrete wall or something.
So The law doesn't really apply when there's public image at stake? LOL
I don't think you should ask the poster about that, I think you should ask Steve.
- Hey Steve, would you be willing to give up some of the Apple brand's value in terms of perceived coolness, in order to ensure that one person is punished for picking up a mislaid phone and selling it to a tech blog instead of returning it?
What do you think he would respond?
A) True, we have spent several decades and billions of dollars on honing our brand image. As post-hippie Californians we thrive on being perceived as cool and laid back, and considering the amount of grass we've smoked over the years and all the naughty little things we did, like steal the "iPhone" trademark from another company without flinching, maybe we shouldn't be ones to talk. But, what the hell, I'm willing to throw all that away to see these punks nailed.
B) Abort! Abort!

I can't say I saw every second of the two videos but I did see about 95% and I didn't hear about multi cam . I do a lot of multiclip editing and was wondering how that would work without the viewer window? I assume it would still have multicam editing available? I hope.
the collapsing of the clips in the timeline made me think of multi-cam editing.
i am also curious how that is going to look like. Everything i saw put a smile. Look forward to upgrade and hopefully one day make a single penny. Darn it, not sure why i keep messing with it all this years and never capitalize on it.

all these rumors are so sick! why should apple release two ipads in one year? that does not make any sense at all. next ipad will probably be the same like the current anyway, they'll add more memory, a faster chip and a better camera and that's it. and maybe they'll also release a third color like silver or pink. but that's it!
i don't want to hear all those rumors anymore if they are so silly. i think the blogs should not pick up every stupid rumor and blow it out of proportion.

Same here�I�ll have to set my location manually. (But I think the GPS issue is not due to my location, but due to an Apple bug. Lots of people on Apple�s boards have had it, starting with OS 3.0.)
I�m hoping this app proves to be of some use (not that we�ll ever know) OUTSIDE of big urban centers. AT&T does keep expanding their coverage in small cities and rural areas, and therefore they must be making decisions on where to spend. Having reports come in from a given location may effect those spending priorities.
So my friends who live in a dead zone will be the subject of AT&T outage reports from me. Likewise some rural relatives. Who knows�the nearest tower may get an upgrade (or whatever) sooner as a result of reports like mine. All of the above do have a trace of signal within a block, but it peters to nothing at their actual house. So close and yet so far.
(EDIT: I�d say AT&T�s online zoomable maps (http://www.wireless.att.com/coverageviewer/) are very accurate in reflecting these little local dead zones, too. Must be geography. So get taller towers please :) )
You can drag the map to the manually accurate location.

Isn't Best Buy participating in the pre-ordering program on June 15th? Apple Stores are, as is AT&T. At both places, the phones will be ready for pickup on the 24th ---AT&T promises front-of-the-line, no waiting for pre-ordering customers. Of course, you have to pay for it when you order it, but. . .
**I thought u had to have it shipped to you if you pre-order and aren't guaranteed to get it by the 24th. Where did you hear you can have it shipped to the store and are guaranteed to have it that day in store?

A muslim state is what israel would become if all the palestinians were given citizenship, and that simply can't happen, it would be very dangerous. I do know what i'm defending, the right for israel not to become an arab country. You can say the jewish majority there is artificial, but so was the christian population in north america a couple hundred years ago, they also brought boat loads of settlers from around the world, look how that turned out.
It can certainly be a secular democracy, where the Muslims, Christians (yes there are Christian Palestinians as well) and Jews live together. it doesn't necessarily have to be a Muslim state. But again that is beside the point. They could be Christians or athiests or secularists as well, but the ideology behind Israel simply won't allow the majority population to not be Jewish. I'm not sure if you're defending that ideology.

I have to disagree. In this case, integration is not a big deal. But in an office environment, having to switch between programs in order to take care of emails, contacts, appointments, and tasks is a big time waster. Yes, iCal has the event thingy and tasks but the fact remains that its not tightly coordinated like Outlook. I really don't understand why thye just don't put iCal in with Mail.
But then I'd have to use Mail.
There are programs out there that can integrate at least three of these on a Mac, using the internal databases. I like the fact that I don't have to use one program for everything; it usually means a program that doesn't do any as well, and it limits what you can to to what that program offers. With them as seperate componets, I can use only iCal, or only Mail, or only AddressBook, depending on what I need. And since the database is open to other apps, I can get a different address book or whatever if I need it.
I don't see Apples apps as supposed to be the best in catagory. They are supposed to be enough for a casual user. If you want more, you can get programs that allow more. Being seperate is better for this, because if you are a casual user of one but a heavy user of another you can just get a better program for the one you are a heavy user of. (For instance, I'm a heavy user of email, so I have Mulberry. It integrates with Address Book, of which I'm a very light user. And I nearly don't use iCal at all, but I use it just enough to appreciate that it is there. Integrating the three would actually make them less useful to me, because I'd be tied to using them togther, and that's not how I use them.)
Use Outlook, if that's the best program for you. That's fine. Some people don't need that much, but appreciate having the ablity to use some of it on occasion.
