Our goal was to design the very very best MP3 player we could. To design something that could become an icon an and we'll see whether that is the case or not. - Jonathan Ive

Watching the iPod video almost brings tears to my eyes. Great job. Thanks for the links everyone.

Well when I get home tonight I will try it as N only under 2.4.
If that works I might upgrade my extreme.

Great Question! Mostly for posterity sake at first - phase 2 will most likely be filming (transfering?) a bunch of Super 8 movies and doing the same - need to research more on that still...
I'd say 30hrs of 8mm, god knows how many Super 8...
Somewhere before getting on with phase 2, I plan on editing and throwing together some things like our annual visits up north vacationing throughout the last 10 years or so..
The "what's next" question is perfect for if I should choose certain formats etc for whatever I do next!

Apple Lossless Codec is a compromise between the small but lossy encoding of AAC or MP3 and the large file sizes of pristine AIFF audio. Apple Lossless provides full uncompressed CD quality audio in about half the space of the original file, answering the call by discriminating musical ears for a format that offered both compression and high-quality audio.
If I read your post right it seems that you are importing from your cds in either aac or mp3 and then converting those files to apple lossless. Unless you have a lot of space, not a lot of cds, and a really good ear I would not reccomend importing your cds to apple lossess. I import my cds at 192kps AAC and can't tell the difference between that and the cd.

IThis is a useful fair use enabling technology. It will mean that iTMS purchased songs could be played on any player that has licensed Jon's work.
That isn't what this product does, and if it did it would run straight up against EUCD, DMCA etc.
It will mean that the iPod can play music from any store that has licensed Jon's work.
That is what the product is intended to accomplish.

I know I'm probably gonna get blasted for this, but does anyone else think Longhorn's GUI looks kinda cool? It's a little bit cluttered and slightly too bubbly, but it's still pretty sharp looking. There seems to be a lot of little graphical details that give it just a snazziness, once again that could just be me.
Of course, by the time Longhorn comes out, I'm sure Apple will have come out with something far superior and far sexier.

Haha, perhaps you could make the questions a little bit more loaded...I almost sensed a drop of fairness for a second!
any wealth a rich person has earned is not actually theirs, it's a national resource
But honestly, no, I disagree with Moore...but he's just like any of the other extremists going over the top.
As far as raising taxes on the wealthy, I'm all for it. I don't buy the "higher taxes is theft", but somehow the current is a just amount? But the current rate isn't some magical number, its just what we as a nation settled on in the past. I support a tax system which brings helps solve the issue we have now. So 100% would screw us just as 0% tax would too. Given our debt, I think we need higher taxes and the wealthy can afford a higher amount. Most likely one point we'll have this debt/spending under control and we can cut taxes across the board.

Doubt we will see a jb for the latest os and the ipad2. Why bother? In a little over a month, iOS 5 will be out.
I honestly don't think we will see iOS 5 until the iPhone comes out. Which with the release of the white iPhone 4 probably won't happen until Q4 2011 or Q1 2012.

...In 2009 the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation gave $3.653 Billion to some of the most important charitable causes around the globe. They're known around the world as one of the most highly selective, efficient, and effective charitable organizations. Is it your position that our federal government would more efficiently/effectively utilize this money?
Actually, it'd be about the same. I base this on the fact that the company I work for, which is a for-profit / non-profit international development company (almost all international development companies have both for- and non- profit arms) receives funding from both USAID and the Gates Foundation. I think it's fairly obvious that we're roughly equally effective at implementing projects from different sources of funding; we're the same company with the same staff on either projects. Of course, Gates rules and USAID rules differ a little in terms of what we have to do with that money, but they're not all that different in the end.
And that's what most of development money goes to in the end: companies (or organizations) that implement projects. The companies and organizations are the same regardless of where the funding comes from.

Yes, but would be better if the GPS were not reliant on the Cell network being available.
Maybe some cell network genius should come on here to explain things, but my understandin is that GPS and the cell phone system are 2 different things.
The GPS system receives information from satellites orbiting the earth and cannot receive inside buildings - it is all line of sight stuff - must be within the range of at least 3 to triangulate. GPS units transmit NOTHING back to the satellites... they only receive.
The Cellphone system also triangulates your position but does it based on the nearest 3 antenna... not the same satellites, but ground based antenna. The phone constantly alerts the towers that it is turned on so that it can receive the calls.

personally I think there will be loads of macbooks on ebay due to the upgrade. They hold the value though so what we thinking? �8-900 ? somewhere in between.

Still worth it to head to the Gateway over anywhere else, yeah? You gotta assume the Apple Store will have thousands of these things, I hope?
They'll have a whole lot more than Best Buy and Target combined.
I heard that Target gets two of each model, unconfirmed though.

The Macbook Air is GREAT product, BUT you really have to observe yourself and think will you every need a bright display, backlit keys, or fast processing(i kno the apps load FAST but exporting iMovie takes a LONG time)... if you can do without those things and NEVER will need them... GO for the MBA... if not.... user your $1000-$1500 elsewhere... thats a lot of money

I presently work seven blocks from Ground Zero, but before the move to my new location I worked for eleven years directly across the street from the WTC. I will share with you some of my vivid memories from that day. It was a busy morning and I was listening to Beatles music coming through my headphones when I felt my chair lifted about 1 inch off the carpeted floor.
As unusual as that was, I was rather quick to dismiss it because the prior week similar repairs were being done on the floor beneath me. Heavy tools were used at that time and noticeable vibrations felt throughout the day ... thus, I did not feel an apparent need to be curious and pursue the matter further.
About ten minutes after the first plane hit the North Tower, we all received immediate orders to evacuate the building in a calm manner. After arriving on the street, I looked upward and it eerily resembled evening. At least 15 fire engines were screaming all around us and a beautiful September morning was rapidly transformed into a horror.
Some fellow employees had been on the top floor and heard that first plane roaring by one block away, and seconds later watched it slice into the WTC building from their unobstructed view.
Within 15 minutes it was deemed far too dangerous for hundreds of workers to be milling around outside, so we were dismissed and told to go home immediately. I was lucky to get my train because some subway lines stopped service within an hour.
From where I get the train it is underground ... however, when it leaves Manhattan about 8 minutes later it becomes an elevated train and you have an excellent view of the downtown skyline.
Needless to say, on this morning there was nothing picturesque about it. It was obscene! The higher floors of both buildings were now engulfed in flames and thick clouds of toxic smoke were pouring into the surrounding pretty blue sky. Everyone on the jammed train was riveted to what was unfolding before their eyes.
I cannot even imagine the fear that overcame people who decide to leap to their deaths as opposed to perishing in the inferno. I tried hard to suppress thinking about it, but figured I probably would have opted for the former method myself ... sure it is gruesome, but it would all be over in 15-20 seconds.
When I arrived home, the only TV station working was Channel 2 since they had a backup master antenna atop the Empire State Building. All other media outlets were either dark or had such awful interference which rendered them unwatchable. After being fixated to the television for about 30 minutes, the first building hit toppled.
As horrible as this all was, for some reason I thought the towers would never fall despite the spillage of jet fuel and resulting raging fires. I know nothing about engineering and architecture, so it was just wishful thinking on my part. Since watching the WTC during the years of construction, it had an invincible aura to it.
The 24 hour coverage was continuous for at least 7-10 days. After the second building crumbled, I retrieved a voice mail message from management informing employees that we would be required to stay home for two weeks to ensure the structural safety of our building.
When we eventually did get back to work, we were without phone service for another 3-4 weeks. The telephone company underground substation servicing much of lower Manhattan was located directly across from the WTC and completely destroyed.
It was a terribly sad, frightening and chaotic day that I will never forget because it has been indelibly etched in my mind ... hopefully, a repeat performance of such an inhumane, despicable and cowardly act will not come again to an American city on any scale.
