No kidding, that line is always so long. But, when did McDonald's stop calling them customers and start calling them clients? Smart move, either way.
I enjoyed this post immensely. Everybody--everybody--here, has "clients".
I hope all of the big oil companies have a record year for profits too. It's worth it to me to pay $4 gal for gas to help it come true.
I enjoyed this post immensely as well. As someone in the chemical/nuclear engineering industry, my clients always gripe and complain about corporate greed when big bad oil makes $10 billion in profit in a quarter, but when Apple does it everyone sings their praises as their money goes right into Steve Jobs's bank account and talks about how great it is that the money they've worked for sits somewhere cross-country in the form of numbers on paper.
What I do know though, is that the Apple computers I've had have been the most unreliable machines I've ever used, and that stock is going to be hit hard sooner or later when Steve checks out. Given his high visibility, that stock will go down quite a bit when he dies, and the double-edge to that sword is that given his high visibility, it may have trouble recovering in the wake.
Apple also hasn't made a decent iPod since the 5G nano. Apple doesn't care about the iPod, that's certainly clear with a 17% decline YoY...I noticed nobody's talking about that in this thread. Their last iPod nano was nothing but a travesty, I'd hardly call that "innovating". Stuck at 16 GB for the last three years is pathetic, too.

And they have to bump up the resolution on their iTunes store. But I'd be surprised if we see this anytime soon.Music and Audio: What makes you think they haven't been encoding at various bit rates and resolutions since the beginning -- surely they anticpated quality increases down the road.

It's cute that people think Comex actually ever made a working Jailbreak for iPad 2.
I wish I could photoshop my way to 200k followers on Twitter.

the ipad 2 just came out. Can you at least give it a month before talking about jailbreak.
more than 1/5 the world do not have theirs yet. Like people in villages of Africa are waiting, people in Asia as well. People from rural america as well.

Apple trying hard to combat the power of the HTC Sensation and Samsung Galaxy 2. White iphone now a slightly improved iphone. Nothing can stop the 350k phones sold every day.
Wow, they're selling 350k Sensations and Galaxy 2s every day? :rolleyes:

I just updated my 5G ipod:
-Brightness control now available (great for the car at night, ipod is almost blinding)
-Gapless
-Sound Check? (I dont remember seeing that on the ipod, was it there before?)

I have a similar setup also. My "media center" is a mac mini connected to my TV. It has external drives that store all my media. I can access the data from my 2 macbook pros, iphones, and my apple tv in another room. It works great.
If you wen't with the two drive setup through the mac mini... why not make one drive nothing but the media storage hub. Then make the other drive the backup drive for everything in the house. (partition it 4 ways?) including a backup for the media on the 1st drive.
The way you described you would be backing up time machine backups. To me thats a little over redundant.... then again, you can never have too many backups.

Actually, I have been looking for a new monitor and was really hoping that the ACDs would be updated. At the very least, their price is almost twice that of a similar display from practically everyone else. Granted, they have a nicer design, but a 6ms refresh time is pretty slow these days.
Hardly. The panel is a S-IPS LG.Philips LM230W02 (for the 23"). This is probably the very best panel you can buy anywhere for a 23/24". The displays you are talking about aren't similar displays at all - they are inferior PVA or TN types. Hence, the price. Faster response times (for gamers) don't appear in S-IPS panels - only in cheaper TN types.
A comparable display is the NEC LCD2490WUXi which you won't find for under about $1100. The ACD 23" is in fact for the quality of the display good value. The main problem with it is the lack of inputs and the 1 year-guarantee.
The only change that Apple could make to the 23" is to things like the inputs (which personally I would like to see) because there is no better panel. Of course they could change to a 24" but this is not a better panel. Just a slightly larger one.
One legit worry is if you buy the 23" now, and Apple changes to a 24" then buying a second panel will be a problem.

So, I'm trying to connect my DirecTV reciever to an Airport Base Station that I want to extend my wireless network, which is configured using a Siemens Gigaset router for our Frontier internet.
In Airport Utility, I've got "extend a wireless network" selected, but when I try to select my specific wireless network, it says "the network you've selected cannot be extended".
So I guess my question is this: is there a way to make my Gigaset router wireless network extendable, or will I only be able to use my Airport base to extend other Apple wireless routers?
I am almost positive you cannot extend via airport extreme any other non apple device. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
Took me a few minutes of a MRoogle search and a search on support.apple.com, but I found this:
Question: Can AirPort Express wirelessly extend ("repeat" or "rebroadcast") the network of a third-party access point?
Answer: No. But it can wirelessly extend the range of a WDS network that is being hosted by an AirPort Extreme Base Station or another AirPort Express.

Hi guys,
I'm brushing up (aka relearning OpenGL) and for some reason my line will not draw, but my triangle does (I added the triangle to make sure I could render things, the line is not hidden because of the triangle).
Here is my code:

It's impressive that the iPhone is doing so well in the face of the continual public bashing that AT&T is always taking. Does the iPhone have such allure that people are willing to switch to an inferior carrier just to own the device?
Not everyone has problems with AT&T. I personally don't and i know others who don't as well. Now if you base at&t being inferior based on things said online then obviously some people will be trolls and make things up just to be on the bandwagon.
Personally i love my AT&T service and sure its dropped some calls. But show me a wireless provider who has never had dropped calls. BTW the people switching to verizon will be spending alot more money and not even getting unlimited data.

The only problem that I've seen with the new site are the random glitches I get involving differently colored boxes around the borders and such. Besides that, it seems really nice. I like the more modern look, I just fall into that camp that isn't as thrilled with the addition of the third column because of space/readability reasons, but I am already getting more used to it and within a few days I am sure it will be like second nature to browse the site for the information I am looking for.

Hi
I'm aware the iPod/iPhone isn't able to play .avi, but as I have a jailbroken iPod Touch I was wondering if there is any program which allows you to play .avi files?
I'm also aware of a program which allows you to play .avi directly from your pc, but I'm looking for something with which you can put .avi's on your iPod and then play them.
I'm asking this because I'm sick and tired of the converting proces...
Thanks in advance!

congrats for the iBook. Now TenFourFox is intended to be already set to play youtube videos at low resolution and quality, 360p is really choppy on mine, be sure to use flashblock, it will make browsing experience far better, one good thing you can do for videos is to use the method i explained in my other thread by replacing youtube's default player with quicktime, use MacTubes, or download an Firefox extension within TenFourFox named SmartVideo For YouTube 0.8 in which you can set the videos to start buffering as soon as page loads and select small quality display, with that i can watch youtube videos just fine, test all three and see what you like more :)

Hi there,
if he's into dance stuff then Reason is a fairly good bet. The company is Propellorheads. Software is called "Reason".
Generally speaking, though, if you want top quality production software, get Logic by Emagic (now owned by apple)

Define "need to use." I use Pages for all of my reports, and output to PDF for presentation to my clients. If they need a Word version, I export it as Word. Never had a single complaint. I present in Keynote quite often, sometimes saving the slides in PDF form. Never had a complaint there either; in fact the Keynote presentations in particular get rave reviews.
I don't get why people manufacture so many impediments that don't exist to using something other than MS Office. I would loathe the thought of being chained to MS Office, or anything else for that matter, for the rest of my life.
Exactly, I use Pages and Keynote at School for my Engineering classes all of the time. I never have any problems but if there were a problem then I would save the document in .PDF in Pages or Keynote or possibly as a quicktime movie in Keynote. I just don't get what problems besides missing font problems people have I guess....
That does remind me that Pages needs an equation editor though. I have been using MathType to copy and paste equations into Pages or Omnigraffle if I am doing a schematic and would like an equation editor in both of those programs. Omnigraffle could use better dimensioning tools before it will be a full Visio replacement too.
