My problem with the video was not the careful choice of the words "Android Operating System." I have an HTC MyTouch 4g and the first thing it tells me is that I need a Google Account and that it can send "anonymous" information back to Google. Then within each Google Application that you install the permissions of the App say the same thing. So yes, I can opt out of all of those, but to say that the Android Operating System doesn't collect data is cherry picking. The Android OS comes with Google Applications that do collect data.
I have never assumed though that on a GPS enabled smartphone that my location is private (ever watched any TV show and you'll know that), but I believe that in this case, it was on oversight on Apple's part and now it is going to have to pay the price for that oversight. Sad, but true.

Is it possible to add all of the terms (not the definitions, just the name of the work) from the built-in OS X Dictionary into an NSMutableDictionary?

Mine was doing the same too. I never figured out what it was and just moved to hotspot tethering via iPhone + MyWi.

All I have to say don't hope too much about graphic card like the radeon 9000. They have include a new one in the last revision and as we all know, the graphic card in mac model are ALL oudated card selling at too high price.
What the ***** you think somebody can do with a GForce 2 MX right now? it's slow as hell! but they keep it in the iMac! The GForce 4 MX is base on the GForce 2 MX with few add-on no big difference there! the tower with the GForce 4 Ti are the only reasonnable thing you could get, the radeon 9000 is good for the iMac not the pro tower damn! and we still have the lower RAM possible on each card at the higher price!
Video card on the Mac is, for my point of view, the BIGGEST Godzila flaw.
It's no more true that life lenght of Mac are longer then PC becaus of video card. And we still can't buy newest video card from ATI (wow a 8500, not bad but no ADC really cool! they hold the 9000 pro with a big 64 VRAM, and for when the 9700, probably never) or nVidia (don't sell at all, except the GForce 4 Ti on the apple store wich are really overprice, even after a years the price aren't moving!)
I'm thinking to switch to PC and run Linux soon, I'm tired of all this. Bad bad sad thing, I really love Mac OS X wich is formidable, why can't we have decent hardware to go with this at a reasonnable price since around 85% of the piece in a Mac are PC components? I know developping and research cost a lot, but I'm tired to pay for iPhoto, iTunes or iDon'tcare when I buy a video card, when I buy my computer hardware! damn sold the soft separetly please!

@MechaSpanky, someone could still take a screenshot and apply some simple Photoshop (as MacDawg has said).
Yes, that is true and it is a very good point but I still think that a locked PDF file (with the editing capabilities restricted) will deter most people who might think about stealing your stuff. Sure there are others out there that will take the time to download a high res screen capture utility (you will have to actually download a program to do this as the normal screen capture on Macs is 72 ppi, which is low res) but I would imagine that most companies wouldn't do that. It is the same problem that software companies face with piracy. There will always be people who can and will steal stuff, but the majority will not.
I myself, as a designer have been asked to submit samples of my work for review by clients. I have never had anyone steal any of my work (although there have been a couple of companies that might have "borrowed" some of my design ideas but that is even harder to prevent). Just to be safe, I always use a PDF with restricted editing capabilities and I also add a watermark. Sure someone can get around this but it will take them a while to do it (never underestimate the power of a well placed watermark, it can make retouching an image very difficult if positioned correctly).
In the end, I would imagine that the best thing to do is to make sure that you can trust the people who you are dealing with. Of course this is not always an option (nor is it an easy thing to determine).

I was just like you, I need a scroll wheel and two buttons. The MacMice are great. I have one of them and love it.
As far as keyboards go, I have an iBook so I don't have a keyboard but I've used the Apple keyboard many times on friend's Macs and it seems fine to me.
Just don't get The Mouse BT. Its terrible. I got it for christmas and took it back a few weeks ago. Theres a whole thread here on MacRumors with people bitching about it. Do a search and you'll find it.
Although, I've never used it, I haven't heard anything too bad about their USB mouse. So I'd go with that.

I can understand why photographers (and stock companies) get worried by this but as a designer I tend to agree with the notjustjay and THX1139.
The best thing you can have as designer is good repeat clients. People who obviously copy / steal work don't get repeat work as it will always lack the context and thinking. We're all ideas magpies - everything we create is based on something else (try drawing an alien drawing that looks like nothing on earth for example) so trying to 'own' ideas is rather difficult. I 'culturally borrow' - you 'rip off' etc etc
Also I find huge copyright slapped across speculative submissions etc vaguely insulting, every time I view it it reminds me forcibly and loudly that you don't trust me - an obviously lores image and perhaps subtle copyright is both sensible and enough in my opinion.

I just spent way too much time reading these. Not the funniest one, but the Roommate #2 one had this gem of a line: "[The parrots] only understand German, which I do not speak, so I kind of just let them fly around and do their own thing." Can't. Stop. Laughing.

How about creating a forum for naive clueless people to post wistful optimistic and incredibly misguided or ill-informed speculation about the G5 Powerbooks coming next week? (And the week after that, and after that).

Nope. If you have legitimate access to the "Developer Preview" then you have access to the Developer forum. There's no other options.

I doubt you'll ever see the nano like it once was. I know what you mean though. The nano these days are just not the same. I think they're pretty ugly too.
That's about like saying that thin little "iPod Shuffle" would never turn back into the iPod Shuffle we all know and love. In fact it got changed in its very next update.
Give it time and Apple will either make the current Nano better or make something like the older Nano, with new features of some sort. Only question is, how long will it take? :P

I'm having trouble deciding between a higher end 15-inch MBP or an 11" MBA with a gaming PC.
If I were to go with the combo, would an iBUYPOWER Gamer Power 567D3 in the 500 dollar price range be a good desktop for present and future gaming, or would the CyberpowerPC Gamer Ultra 2057's specs provide future proofing as well as justify the ~$900 price? (mainly the HD 5570 vs the 5770 and 4GB vs 8GB RAM)
If there are any other gaming PC's you have used, feel free to tell me what the best ones are!
