I watched it yesterday, but it was off can on.
Phil is a really nice guy and I like him, but I don't like him as a presenter. I was SJ did the whole thing. However I don't think he was ready, and that have the other 3 help were a last minute thing which is why they were all kind of off.
Haveing that french guy talking about vista was a really bad choise. I could not understand what he was saying.
I also did not like it when Jobs was reading what to do.
Hopefully Paris will make up for these things.

The more rain delays play, the more I want Australia to win!
I just want to see a result. And it would be great to have that "Hooray!" moment if England were to win. A little hard to do with everyone in the dressing room.

Like many, I understand that this act isn't hurting the economy. It probably even helps the economy in a weird and perverted way. I also understand that we humans waste an enormous amount of perfectly good food, drinking water and other non-replaceable natural resources every day. And no, I don't shed any tears when some old and worn television is taken to the local recycling depot.
So why does this stupid 'will it blend' series anger me so much? I think it's to do with the cynicism and the willful destruction of a brand new and perfectly good device that was never used in any meaningful way. And it's to do with the completely meaningless purpose of that destruction: getting attention.
For all the idiots who defend this series purely because it succeeds at getting attention and therefore helps BlendTec make money, let's see where your moral boundaries lie. Because these commercials would attract even greater audiences if they blended puppies. Or kittens. Or donor organs. What's that? No living things? Okay, sissies. Let's blend rare drugs. Expensive replacement heart valves. Like any iPad, they're just objects. Right? Or try the ultimate cynicism: blend a million dollars. (Actually, that's been done.)
By the aloof and detached financial argument, if it makes them any money it's okay right? And it's cool. From reading this thread, laughing about these stupid pranks and muttering rationalizations is what makes you a man.
Personally, I think the world right now would be better off without these MTV Jackass-inspired boys who equate masculinity to stupidity. Being dumb ain't cool. Showing that you care takes far more courage.

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:

All i have to say is iLife 07 has to be pretty good if were still waiting for it.
yeah, I hope so...but don't you sometimes feel like that's how they get us? Wait and wait and wait, and by virtue of the wait itself the product becomes better? The lack of MACS at MACworld is a perfect example. All of us dedicated mac (that is mac computer) users excitedly jabbering for months about new MBPs and minis ACDs and octo-core pros and iLife and iRocket and iWorks etc. and what do we get? Zilch. Nada, except a couple (admittedly cool) devices that don't do a thing for the computing experience. I use macs cuz they work better, and there are things to like about Apple as a company...but sometimes they make me feel like a lonely, caged, under-informed and taken-for-granted subject in a giant marketing experiment.
OK so that's a bit dramatic, but y'all know what I mean??

Just so I understand, liquidmetal is basically a strong metal that behaves like a plastic? I understand that it has a non crystalline atomic structure..is that basically the "big deal" about it?

I'd like to see a lot more weight put into iPhoto.
With the steep price declines in DSLRs, proliferation of smart phones with better cameras, etc. people are taking more photos than ever before. The result is that the photo management and editing tools that only pros used to need are needed and by more and more hobbyists and casual photographers. If they could pull in some tools from Aperture and more robust photoshop-like tools (layers, dodge and burn, spot healing brush, etc.?) it would make a lot of people happy.
As for the current feature set, it would be nice to see more powerful facial recognition (profiles, better job with babies and children).
I'd also like to see some tighter integration with Mail since family email photos all the time. Rather than just be able to right click and add the shot to iPhoto, how about the ability to create an event, label faces all in Mail and then add to iPhoto.
One of my biggest gripes though iPhoto's lack of integration with AppleTV. If I take movies on my camera or even my iPhone, it syncs to iPhoto but only the photos will sync with AppleTV. The only way to watch these movies is to render them in iMovie, Handbrake or another similar program and then add them to iTunes. What a pain!!!
Amen brother! I love iPhoto for organizing imports, but it's sooo far behind Lightroom when it comes to making your pictures really pop. I don't see Aperture as the answer here, it's too heavy to work with compared to Lightroom.
iMovie needs to be to movies what iPhoto is for pictures since more and more devices are capable of recording video. Easy importing, organizing and easy editing.

so if you computer crashes you left with nothing.. again why they should discount this.
Right-click on the game in your Steam library and select "Backup", then burn your backup on either CDs or DVDs. Problem solved.
If you don't like it, then just buy a retail box.
The only thing that I do not like about Steam (or ANY of those digital content stores) is that you cannot sell the game once you no longer want or need it and transfer it to the account of somebody else. You can only do this when you purchase an item as a gift. This actually deprives me of a legal right that I have as a customer in Germany - we CAN legally transfer even OEM licenses that were bundled with some hardware.

Hydra;3051385']It appears it may just have fixed it. I just booted into XP and for the first time I got to see the ugly Windows progress bar, I usually got a black screen until the desktop popped up. I had to install XP with an old CRT I had lying around fyi.

Sweet... i'm going to give it a try here... one last time. I've had enough of these bootcamp issues. I can't even get windows installed on my Mac Pro.. fed up.
*crosses fingers* here we go.

so tempting to buy an ADC membership.Before you do, keep in mind that the OS is pretty buggy at this point, and while you'll get a peek at a number of new things, you need to be prepared to wipe the whole drive/partition and reinstall relatively frequently, so the membership is pretty steep if all you want is a look.
Of course, you do get Leopard included in the price (when it's released), OS X Server, and some other goodies, but if you just want a sneak peek, you're better off waiting for the release.

The vast majority of Vista is "service pack" material. There are only 4 or 5 things that needed a whole new OS (new in the sense that its not XP anymore).

Um, so my girlfriend and I have both have the iPhone 3G. We have the same tracking issue by virtue of being on iOS 4.x - but at the current highest OS level for this model, 4.2.1, we don't get a "fix?"
Nope, your device is no longer supported by apple.

I just back from Best Buy after pre-ordering an iphone 4. There were 4 models to choose from, White or Black, 16gb or 32gb. There was a $50 deposit, for which I received a BB gift card which will be used when I pick up the phone, and I now have an scheduled appointment at BB so I'm guaranteed to get it on the release date - plus, I won't have to wait in any lines when I get there.
Prior to going to BB, I tried to order a phone online through Apple as well as AT&T. The Apple website got stuck at the point where I selected the phone I wanted. The AT&T website did not show the iPhone 4 as an option. Don't bother calling AT&T to try an order the new iphone - they will not take your order and will just refer you somewhere else.

Only question. Why?
Some say Apple need to buy Netflix. Have those of you even considered what Netflix charges for monthly streaming?
$8
Apple will never let customers eat that much for so little. The day Apple buys Netflix, DVDs would stop, and streaming would go up to $30 a month.
Promised.
and look at the crappy content that they have for streaming. everything is super old. hopefully if apple does this, they would have new content and people wouldn't mind paying more bc the content is better.

You can answer that question best.
Check your order status. If nothing has changed, well, you have your answer.
great idea thanks i never thought of that...:confused:

So are these guys getting a fair trial? Are they exempt from cruel and unusual punishment? Oh, that's right, that little lack of human rights thing...
I really think Apple should step up and make sure these guys aren't treated unfairly or overly harshly, even *if* they leaked the design. Frankly, that would be the *only* course of action for a civilized company like Apple to do.
