Why is it so damn hard to get it that Mac Pro is overpriced compared to e.g. Dell's offerings?! :confused:
On the low end, yes. On the high end (Skulltrail+X5600), no. Unless you think maybe OS X isn't worth 200.00 extra. But hw isn't very impressive if you are unhappy running your OS. Still would rather have a PB G4 than a Core i7 Dell laptop.

the main reason would be that neither palestinians nor israelis want a secular statePah! Call that a problem? They'll come round. Eventually
Anyway, Palestine simply isn't viable as two states. The Palestinians don't even have contiguous territories.

I better take care of my ol' shuffle, since when it dies I have to buy a iPod and a USB memory. Not what I call evolution...
Hardly a problem. You can get a new shuffle and a 1 gig USB jump drive for alot less then the old 1 gig shuffle cost.

I don't understand the importance of this. A university in a country I don't live in has started to buy more Macs? Colour me unimpressed.
I'm unimpressed that you're unimpressed. There's more to the world than your own backyard, and anyway, did you read the whole thing? Does the word "trend" mean anything? :)

OK, I'll be the first one to confess that I believed this rumor. It just seems that a fall release date makes more sense for a product like this, both because people are going back to school and, especially, the holiday season. My guess is the fact that new releases of the iPad are coming out a few months into the new year might be a damper on holiday sales of the iPad.
So yes, I could see Apple trying somehow to get the iPad onto an early fall release schedule.

Meanwhile Google is still tracking Fandroids in almost real time.
You get what you pay for. ;)
Who is this impostor? Full of Win NEVER says anything positive about Apple.
Sadly, people keep giving him oxygen by responding to his incessant trolling.

imho they have to release the iphone 5 in the summer, cuz many contracts will ending at this time.
My guess is that Apple will do whatever they damned well please and if that means delaying a handset launch by several months, they will do so and that their carrier partners will offer some sort of grace period or move their customers to month-to-month to avoid churn.
People purchase iPhones all year long and the two-year subscription cycle is not a worldwide requirement. It depends on the individual carrier:

The only benefit to transcoding prior to effects/grading would be to aid system performance. It will not result in better image quality.
But doesn't AVCHD work in a way where some frames are estimated similarly to how HDV gets estimated frames? So if we were to apply effects to it, such as Color Correction, what we see may not be what we get when we export - thus by converting it to Pro Res before applying any sort of effects, you would result in more accurate effects rendering when it comes outputting a file out. However, if AVCHD doesn't work the way I thought it works (by using frame estimation), then I guess it saves a step in the process...

So I just read up a little on what happened at the Natal/Kinect press conference.
Basically:
- They had everyone put on white plastic ponchos. (Kool-aid, anyone?)
- They had a flying couch and a fake elephant.
- They showed some horrible casual games that had people jumping around their living rooms like spastic idiots.
- They assume that no one has coffee tables.
- They're releasing EyePet and Wii Sports.
- They invented Skype.
Wow, quite an event. I imagine this one will be talked about for quite awhile. :D
Now don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with Microsoft/Xbox in general. But this was just beyond ridiculous. Then again, I'm not really expecting Sony to do much better with "Move". A little, hopefully, but not much. :)

Probably only a matter of time before we hear Steve has locked himself in a tower and is peeing in mason jars.
(Howard Hughes reference, for you youngsters)
The Apple Board of Directors needs to put a leash on him and get someone with a cool head to officially respond to this. After "all phones do that" and his "facts" on Flash letter, I trust SJ as much as I trust a Congressman.

The market cap of Netflix is 12 billion, add another 3 to 5 billion for a buyers premium, and it would take a pretty large chunk of the Apple cash reserves.
I think you are right. Buying Netflix would be like paying $1200 per subscriber (isn't this astonishing? Imagine Apple would paying you $10 a month for ten years for watching movies). Better to invest less than 15 billion dollars and try to build something own. Also Apple is extremely conservative and cautious in buying other companies. They only buy relatively small firms every few years.

Verizon does, in a way. I've met one of there guys.
They have 50 cell phones in a car connected to a computer that continually makes calls, checks quality, hangs up and does it again. They also have phones of competing carriers hooked up to make comparisions with the competition.
They have lots of these cars and drive all over the place collecting data to ensure that there coverage is indeed better than the competition. Like I said, I met one of these guys and saw the car first hand.
They have about a hundred of these test cars and trucks across the country, if I recall the business articles about them correctly.
And because their tests include competing networks, Verizon probably has one of the most accurate coverage maps for everyone.
As far as the iPhone app goes, I think it's a great idea for carriers without test vehicles and/or to see where the most desire for extra coverage is.
Edit: Here's a 2005 article (http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2005/04/04/verizon-wireless-hear-me-now)about a test car setup, with pictures of the car and test rigs at the bottom.

This could be a real winner.
I've been thinking for several years that what needs to evolve in our technology is the physical user interface... computers are fast enough (for the time being), and there's only so much you can do with software.
This opens up limitless possibilities for hardware evolution.
What will make this super for Apple is that, because they make the hardware and the software, it will work properly... unlike all the add-ons for computers as we currently know them.
This is brilliant.
cheers

I will upgrade if the bottom line of the new generation will outperform the iMac of the top line of the series I have (mid 2010).
Yes, upgrading for anyone with a 2010 makes little sense. You, however, you listed computers all the way back to 2007.

We still have a 2004 20" Power G5 iMac that is my wife's primary home computer. It's been dead reliable for all the years we've owned it, and was my primary iTunes Library machine until just a few months ago. It's still used daily for light-duty stuff: web browsing, email, word-processing, and as a Citrix client so my wife can connect to her School's systems (she's an administrator at a High School). It works fine for all that sort of stuff.

Yeah, I guess you do gotta "put up with that" unless you plan on killing the woman :confused:
Sorry, I don't play the "human shield" game. She's as responsible as he is for what happened.
The dude has issues, and took off with his wife clinging to the hood of his car. If she tried to roll off she may could have been killed! But hey, let's go ahead and blame the victime here.
I don't doubt that he has issues, and I don't doubt that she could have been killed - but if she had stayed the **** off his car, she'd never have been in harm's way to begin with.
First rule of diffusing a hostile situation - if one party is willing to walk away, you let them. Going after them and jumping up on the hood of the car as they're trying to leave makes about as much sense as stepping in front of a train to get it to stop.
No way I vote to convict this guy if I'm on his jury.

There's people still happy to go for a 3GS even today over the 4 so what is people's problem that some will still want to go for a 4 when the 5 is out albeit in white and 10 months late? FFS, shut up and quit your moaning.
