Here's one of the better shots of a cup I was experimenting with last night.

We had a set of those same cups when I was a kid. Your photo just took me back in time.
Photographed today at lake Leamy in Gatineau, near Ottawa. Very difficult to shoot them without a gazillion branchs around them, but then again, that is their environnement ;)

Outstanding capture! Excellent composition, color, and sharpness. Great catch light in the eye and just the right turn of the head to show off the crown and beak. I also like how the right part of the frame communicates the tangled nature of his habitat but is enough out of focus to be a subtle background element. I'd probably dodge that big white spot to his right a bit, but other than that, it's a terrific photo.

All of the stores in Atlanta are out.
Apple is opening at 9 am and the lines start at 7:30 but people are camping out since 4am.

Nice find!! And, as I suspected, places that I know don't have a Best Buy are on here. Good job Apple marketing!

Their greed, or yours?
ive spent over 10,000 on itunes since it came out... you dont know me dude... im the farthest thing from a cheapskate in the universe.... im tyoing this now from my yacht in Bora Bora it isnt about the money, its about the convenience.... itunes works cause its instant gratification, im not going to fly to some developed country just to buy a cd by a group thats too stuck on themselves to join the rest of the world offering their product in a convenient manor... screw them...
they had the nerve to sue apple over and over, jobs named apple apple as a tribute... and they were supposed to be about peace and love... and you are defenfending them... they are greedy bastards and they reaped what they sow

They seem to go after just about every niche there is. Just look at the latest news of selling generic prescription drugs for $4 for a 30 day supply. It looks again to be a hook to get people into their stores. They say it covers 300 different drugs, but in reality it is only 124 medicines but in a variety of doses. So they may end up with 12 out of those 300 being different versions of amoxicillin. Some popular drugs aren't included, like Zocor. But all the gullible masses will see is $4 PRESCRIPTIONS!!
There is also a lot of information at wallmartwatch.com.
If it causes other pharmacies to lower prices, all the better. If it causes the big name pharmaceutical labs to lower prices, that's even better. Why should people in the U.S.A. pay the majority of the cost of medication?
This is one instance where Wal-Mart isn't really hurting people, unlike the government.

No, it certainly isn't. It's proof that we're evolving (albeit, slowly).
I'm afraid I have to disagree with you. Humans are social creatures, we evolved being social to help us survive against great odds. People with Asperger's/autism do not understand simple social cues and are often at a loss in situations where one should read subtext rather than what is literally said.
It's less an evolution than a branching off. What will happen when the world no longer requires mathematical savants to programme etc? These people will die out.
A study was done which showed that since the advent of online dating reported cases of people on the autistic spectrum increased; it's thought that the people who spent most of their time online were able to find partners and procreate, without having to do the whole rigmarole of courting, flirting, etc.
I'll see if I can find it, but I wouldn't boast about having Asperger's, it's better to boast about being an NT (Myers-Briggs personality type)

I hate Walmart, I always have. they make people think they're so cheap. they really aren't cheap at all. they never have sales.
I wouldn't give a crap if walmart did anything to hurt the film studios. I don't buy movies there anyway because they actually check your ID if its R or unrated. not that I'm not old enough but I sure as hell hate taking my ID out to justify that I'm at least 17. they never have special editions or unrated versions so why the hell does it matter.
STICK TO BEST BUY OR CIRCUIT CITY.

To all those cutting military by huge percentages, what are your plans to deal with the millions of unemployed that would produce?
I'd move a lot of the defense spending to NASA, renewable energy, infrastructure projects, and job training. The first three can employ a lot of the engineers that are put out of work, and the job training helps the rest be prepared for new more useful jobs.

He didn't mean the Mac OS; he meant an app he bought from the App Store that was 4GB.

Apologies...if it has already been discussed...I am at an airport, and dont have the time to scroll through all the pages before my flight departure:

Looks like a hoax to me anyway.....
lol good instinct. It is a hoax and it has been discussed... ad nauseum. Someone from here went and gave 9to5 a "tip" to see if he'd post it, and he did, so we know to discount everything that ever comes up on that website. Have a good flight.

Whats the point in the 8 gig when you can get so much more capacity for only £20 more?!
Seems fairly bizarre really, you'd have to really like little black things to bother surely!
anyone getting one care to explain your rationale?
I can fit a large chunk of my 20 GB library onto an 8 GB iPod, certainly more than I'd listen to for a week or so.
I'd like to have 24 hours of battery life.
I'd like to go running with it (hence flash memory).
I'd like to get a Nike + thang at some point to motivate my lazy ass.
I'd like to be able to fit it in my sexy lady jeans without looking like I've got a small child stuffed in them. :p
I know where you're coming from, but I just sold my 20 GB 4G iPod to pay for this, because I never used the full capacity and it was bigger and heavier than I'd prefer. I'll never watch videos on my new one. It'll be very rare if I look at photos on it. I'll never play games on it.
So, although I do like to get the best value out of things, I feel like I am with this, because I'm getting more stuff I want (size, no hard drive, better battery etc) for a cheaper price. Which is a good thing. :)

if you have turned it off in the setting its off. otherwise its on by default
makes sense, but the PING setting being on IS the battery problem.

I agree, but how will we make people feel guilty for murdering someone? I think we can teach children morals without religion but I think there needs to be some coordinated effort to make this possible. This author is at least trying.
Do you really think people are just gong to run around killing each other if there's no religion? Really?
Also, believe or not atheists get cancer, lose their jobs, and generally have hard times. People need comfort and support and if there is no religion then there has to be some structure in place to help people through these difficulties.
Yeah, I had a lot of rough times medically this year. I did not need to pray to some "god" to get through them.

Hackintosh housed insed a powermac G5 enclosure + Apple LED 27" + 15" late 2009 macbook pro.
Mind giving us a look inside the PMG5 case? ;)
I've wanted to do a mod like that for awhile, but those cases will easily run $100 for something with scuffs, or $175 for a case without, and I just can't justify spending so much on a case.

My mom got her iphone last year. She loves it so much she's been totally into apple stuff (bought herself an ipod touch when it came out - don't ask me when she already has an iphone - and even bought me the new nano).
She says she's probably going to buy a Mac next time (and she used to snub the mac when I was a kid).
Similar experience for me. I had owned Macs since 1991, but switched to a PC in 2003. After getting the iPhone 4 last summer, I was convinced to come "back to the Mac." In February, I replaced my Dell laptop with a new MBP. I'll never go back.
