    I just found that the person that was beat up was transgender and this was a hate crime. How come this is not all over the news? I guess hate crimes are okay now by black people but if a white person did this it would be the end of the world.

    They seemed pretty pissed off at her. I highly doubt they were beating her up like that simply because she's transgender. If they end up getting charged with a hate crime I'll lose a little more faith in humanity.

    Precisely!

    This is utter nonsense, Apple doesn't enter markets where they can't succeed if not dominate. With all the less expensive options out there, how well do the $999 Cinema Displays sell? Exactly. :)

    Besides, there already is an Apple TV.

    Another case where fantasy trumps fact. Question: what happened to Xserve?

    I work for GE and we are all Dell (unfortunately). Dell laptops, desktops, servers. Everybody gets Dell and nothing else. Can you imagine a company wide policy (300k workers). While the stuff breaks pretty quickly (my latitude laptop had cracks on it within 2 months of use), I was told that the enterprise service plans that Dell offers are unbeatable. The will swap stuff overnight and make sure you have something to work with. If Apple were to have a good service plan for enterprise, I think they will get more takers. Until then, Apple will be more popular with consumers and not enterprise.

    Don't confuse Dell consumer service plans with enterprise. Enterprise is their bread and butter.

    Amazon sells mostly LAME encoded 256kbs mp3 files, which are pretty comparable to the AAC files ITMS sells. AAC may have a slight advantage (for example see http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/271330/256-vbr-aac-vs-320-mp3-vs-256-vbr-mp3#post_3459768), but not much.


    Si!

    When are they gonna start selling lossless??
    Is that true, about the 256bit? I thought they were still 128. That has kept me from even looking at Amazon.
    Agree - christmas music is quite annoying.

    And the selection of Saturnalia music is quite thin.
    Well, since Christmas = Saturnalia, it's all Saturnalia music.

    Top it off Mp3 is smaller at the same bit rate

    And therefore lower quality.

    The only reason anyone would buy this thing is because of blind Apple brand loyalty.Not quite true. Some of us bought 'em for sensible reasons: Apple products are usually of good quality, and initial reviews of this mouse were very favorable. Only later did the many reports about sticking problems show up.

    Actually it is because a 2 year old iPhone is better than any Android device out there.

    Can provide proof other then sells that this phone is better then any android phone.

    You have to realize one thing. Without market share, company like Apple can not make profit.

    Yeah... you have to sell products to make money... but nothing says you have to have the most market share in order to make money.

    Let's say Android gets 35% of the market... and Apple only has 25% of the market...

    Apple still can sell 20 million iPhones in a quarter and makes a crap-ton of money doing it. That's what I've been saying all along!

    Read my other comments here and elsewhere... I HATE market share arguments. It infuriates me every time there is a headline saying "Android beats Apple" and "Android Grows while Apple Stalls"

    It's crazy to compare the two anyway... Apple and Google have completely different business models.

    My next phone will be an iPhone... I don't care if Android phones outsell the iPhone 2-to-1

    Anyone else notice the window shadows are still visible in the Expose/Spaces screenshot. Windows shadows disappear when you invoke Expose in Tiger. Maybe this is power of Core Animation starting to show?

    I think Apple have something quite amazing happening with the Finder interface in Leopard which is now possible with the introduction of Core Animation.

    I'm not questioning those reporting their first-hand experience with an unacceptable level of dropped calls, but the posted repair report drafted by a Genius Bar tech is hardly documentation of AT&T's service levels, much less an official tolerance of that level. This tech was only reporting that he examined the iPhone and it was performing according to spec, and that its performance in use would be consistent with whatever level of service AT&T was providing at the time.

    I realize this is beside the point for those disappointed with their AT&T service, but someone was wrong on the Internet, and it's my lot in life to stay up past 1 a.m. to straighten things like this out. <sigh>

    This has been said a bunch of times in the thread, but people are still acting as if this is a definitive statement on iPhone service in NYC. It is not. The headline is very deceptive. All that's shown in this case is that one person experienced at least a 22% dropped call rate, and that an Apple technical service person determined that this drop rate was not caused by the iPhone's hardware. That's it.

    I've got a question for you guys. Any of you Mac users that also run Windows on a box somewhere:

    Are any of you really going to upgrade to Vista when it comes out? or are you going to wait at least a year?

    nyet!

    I guessing you been living under a rock.. Because my Truck CD Player plays AAC, PS3, Xbox360, PSP, DSi, 3DS, my wife and daughter's Android phone all play AAC.. The list can go on... Google is your friend....

    notices something. Most of those devices are a lot newer. Like I said my car from 2004 can play MP3 but not AAC files. Things from back then it was iffy at best if it it could play AAC.

    Mp3 plays on everything. AAC does not. MP3 is supported on older devices. AAC is not.
    AAC is just not as widely support as MP3 end of story.

    Top it off Mp3 is smaller at the same bit rate

    At a certain point you really are not gaining anything. Amazon VBR is a great way to give great quality sound for a smaller file size.

    I accidentally posted this over in the March thread first by accident forgetting that its April already. I guess that makes me the April Fool :cool:

    Anyway, here is mine for the day. It's a sculpture thingy.

    I'm planning on heading to the Game Farm (like a zoo run by the Department of Fish and Wildlife) tomorrow morning, so hopefully I will have a bunch of new stuff to share.

    Angklungs are one of the instruments we use at my church. We also used a didgeridoo and an oboe during Lent on the same song.

    Purchase spare battery? Nice Apple nice. :rolleyes:

    Wasn't there a 'purchase printer ink' in Tiger somewhere? I don't have a printer at home so can't check... but pretty sure I remember us having the 'OS as a shop' discussion a couple of years ago.

    I went to South Coast and MV, both said try back in the morning, but no guarantees. Still deciding if I want to try again in the morning and where. South Coast was a fiasco with the mall cop.

    --Sean

    That's why I'll never go to an Apple store in a mall.

    I think people who say that no new iphone 5 is going to be announced are people who just got a Verizon iPhone and are on contract and so they hope that no new iPhone comes out.

    Or we can objectively look at Apple's past product release history and elaborate from that.

    Hmm, I used to spend a lot of time waiting for Apple products to come out by checking the MacRumors buyers guides etc. Then I was stung when I got it all wrong and bought an iBook just before they were updated, despite trying really hard for that not to happen!

    My conclusion, don't listen to vague rumours and wait around for ages! Buy if you want it now, unless there's almost certain evidence that an upgrade is imminent :-)

    You just leave the computers on 24/7 just folding. Not everyone does though. Also trying to fold more might influence your farm or purchases. Also trying beta programs is a way to compete. Also being on a team gives you more satisfaction than just your personal crunching.
