I know we've overdosed on speculation recently, but the MacRumors live transcript from the keynote today contained the following line (from Steve I believe):
10:24 am lots more announcements during the next week
best to just wait and see...... They may not be public announcements but announcements made to developers at the conference under NDA.

Yeah, great news indeed. I wish they'd actually manufacture in more countries like Nokia does.

Do you know what a computer without drivers is? A paperweight. The OS is not a single monolithic thing; it's made up of many components. The notion of what is "written into the OS" is more complicated than you seem to think, and it's childish to dismiss a vulnerability because it's in a driver.
That it, comparitively speaking, won't be as hard to apple to plug the vulnerability since all they have to do is limit the control granted via the card and/or just update the driver... You can get off your high horse now... :-P

Sounds like Wal-Mart may have an as-yet-unannounced partnership with MS or Amazon (more likely the latter, as Amazon is already delivering movies).
Why else throw this much weight at the issue?
Time will tell at this point...
Oh, and I agree - F Wal-Mart!

I love how everybody is like "I've got the CDs who cares" or "Buy the CDs they are cheaper". The Beatles on iTunes isn't for you. It is for people who don't buy CDs, it's for the future when the majority of people get digital music and it's certainly for a whole generation of kids who won't know what a CD is or care, in the same way that vinyl is now seen as archaic.
I'm sure I am repeating someone else's thoughts, but it doesn't seem clear to a lot of people.
The real problem is you are losing the "feel" of those albums from Vinyl.
I'm a Gen Xer and tapes were b and Cd's were the big thing when I was growing up.
I had the luxury of having parents who had a Grundig Majestic Stereo with record player. I own it now. It captures a lot more of the recording than digital ever can.
Case and Point Rolling Stones "Let it Bleed"
No comparison. I love digital music because its easy to store. That's it. Quality goes to Vinyl hands down. I'm just sayin'. Vinyl is not Archaic is all.

Apple never used flash for anything more than simple animated ads on their site! And moved away from that to Quicktime based video. If you were seeing Flash it was because you were on a PC with out quicktime and the Apple site was falling back to flash!
Flash is evil it is not searchable, it is a black stain on the open web!
Learn about it before you bash it. Flash IS searchable (Google something with "filetype:swf" to show only results occurring in SWF files). It's also deep-linkable (see greenplanetsearch.com). It's used for much more than ads (see pandora.com and youtube.com). Anyone who's taken a Flash class knows that its easy to detect the FlashPLayer, so non-flash content can be served up in the absence of the FlashPlayer.
Wake up: it isn't 1998 anymore: Flash is a full-fledged OOP environment now!

Add Frank Zappa to that list.
Sometime I wonder if people actually use the products they talk about here.
The Rolling Stones have been in the iTunes music store for over a year. The currently have over 59 albums there and a new ep was released, I'm Free, just a couple of weeks ago.
Frank Zappa was on iTunes last summer and has since been removed. It was basically the albums that RYKODisc had re-mastered and released. There appears to be something going on with the Zappa Family Trust and RYKODisc over the rights.
Led Zepplin has never appeared on iTunes. However, Radio Head was on for a short time, but everyone who like Radio Head has already bought their one good album, The Bends.

Seems like Verizon isn't getting the love as AT&T is getting. :cool:
With the most likely combined CDMA/GSM iPhone 5 the iPhone 4 on Verizon is going to be Apples red headed stepchild.

Spent about an hour on the phone getting through to Apple. I too was having a problem with getting the web site to accept my batteries serial number. I was told that they were aware of the problem and to try later. I waited about two hours and tried again. This time the serial number went through fine. I suspect that matter is simply one of server overload.
There is no need to submit a bogus SN to get a replacement of a battery that is clearly within range. The only reason (if indeed it is a reason) to submit a bogus SN is one of greed.
Greed, i was entitled to a replacement battery........i did nothing wrong.....i am only getting what Apple and Sony owe me........

Ummm you guys do realize my post with the Sony picture was to emphasize that no one has done it right...yet. Right? Sony's e-book reader sucks. They all do.
Hence the desire for Apple to pull an iPod on the market.

Frankly I don't know if Bluetooth would solve the wire problem. But your point is well taken a wireless drive would have its own advantages. Something would be needed of course as I'm not dismissing the need for an optical drive from time to time. My big problem with optical hardware is that it increases weight and decreases reliability...
I agree, but wireless doesn't nearly have the bandwidth necessary.
Think about it, Bluetooth is up to 3Mbps, Wireless is at 54Mbps, and your Firewire drive is 400Mbps.
And, while BT and WiFi can fluxuate, the data for hard-drives and optical drives must be constant in order to be useful. As cool as it would be streaming huge amounts of data is still beyond the current technology, even the WiMax standard is limited to around 100Mbps.
Apple's making a gamble with 802.11n, but they did the same thing with 802.11g and it worked rather well, some have stated that Apple's inclusion of 802.11g gear actually helped to force the issue.

New Nanos are available at the 5th Ave. store in New York. I picked up the black 8GB this morning. Also, they are giving the educational discount on them. Perhaps they only disabled it online.
really. that's awesome! If you don't mind me asking how much did the 8GB come out to after the education discount?

I hope not, the 24" panel is not as good as the 23"
I bet you see a lot of complaints regarding photo editing on the 24" iMac. The screen is way too bright, and you cannot dim it enough for true color reproduction. This is an issue that is well known with the 2407 from dell. I am assuming it is the same panel.
I am sure someone has a 24" S-IPS panel.LGs doesnt say if it is or not.
It would be nice to see Apple make it 24" though, but if the current panels dont permit them to do it at the same quality, I am fine with it staying the same.

Wonderful composition! I really like how you choose to freeze the water as opposed to showing it flow. The reflected light, the symmetry - all great stuff.

Movies purchased from the iTunes Store can't be burned to a DVD or VCD that will play in a DVD player or Video CD.
No kidding. It's been like that for a year, old news.
Pretty disappointing, although I was the ONLY PERSON on macrumors and apple insider to call the LAME GAME update, which doesn't even work on the current 5G iPOD Video (at least this is what I read somewhere earlier today).
It does. The new iPod is just a size bump of the 5G, the new features are just software updates.

I assume you enlisted then?
I assume you enlisted in the Peace corp then? No? Hmmm, that's telling.
I expect fire fighters to put out fires, and police to arrest rapists and murders. I don't need to become a fire fighter or police man to justify that.
The President cannot simply go to war because he feels like it.
Sure he can, Obama had no trouble starting this illegal war. Heck, at least Bush let Congress take a vote and approve the measure first. Obama jumped in head first without even thinking or engaging in any dialog. On top of that, it's a slap in the face to the American people, as he didn't even bother to give a speech and present his case, explain what he planned to do. Bush at least had the decency to do that.
It's being led by NATO and the US is not committing ground troops.
LOL, who do you think the NATO military is? France? Italy? LMAO, don't make me laugh! Massive military spending cuts and downsizing was the first thing Europe did during their financial downturn. They couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag. The US Military -is- the NATO military. And if you think that we won't send ground troops, you haven't been paying any attention.
That said, I hope we don't get much deeper into this.
LMAO, what did you think this was going to be? Drop a few bombs and disappear? The talk now is that these Rebels fighting Gaddafi have plenty of Al Qaeda in their ranks. This is not going to be a quick in-n-out. Obama's illegal war will be his legacy (well, that and his failed socialized medicine scheme).

Unfortunately, I don't think the silent majority of drones who use the facebook app care about the approval process. All that matters to them is that they get their facebook.
So let's say facebook were to pull the app in protest, or development stalls indefinitely. Who'd get blamed by the population as a whole? Facebook or Apple?

At that price, I hope Apple considers preinstalling Vista on its machines.
240 bucks for Boot Camp is ludacris, when you'll probably hardly use it anyway...
I don't really understand your logic. If Apple preinstalls Vista, they'll simply pass the cost on to you. Pre-installed does not equal free.

Well it's a question of if you rather touch screen or physical buttons. And all this has been said before but who cares right? its just a forum. I'm not a fan of anything touchscreen that's not 10". Its just too cramped and all some people want, is a music player. Forget all the iOS and all the games and calculators and gadgets. Sometimes ppl just want a music player. And i haven't broken the screen on my iPod ever. 90% of touch break in the first month. I know a lot of people who I've laughed at so many times because of it. Ive thrown my ipod, it fell off the earphones as i was swinging it, (fill in creative way to try and break something here). And the max is what at the moment? 32 gig? The classic is a heavy duty storage machine for most. It's not hard at all to navigate. It should always go artist\album\song or sometimes if you're like me just listen to a whole album at a time.
