Stay with Verizon and get yourself an Itouch ipod!
Hi,
I'm thinking of switching from Verizon to AT&T to get the iPhone. However, I'm hearing horror stories of up to 30% dropped calls in the NY area.
For all iPhone/AT&T users in northern NJ and NYC area, can you verify that you experience around 30% of dropped calls?? is this true??

I want the iPhone, but not if it comes with such bad service!!
Thank you,

Gas is expensive! $50 for me today.
I wish ours were that low! Its up to $3.25 in PA.
EDIT: Ok apparently TIMG tags don't work anymore.

Whaa? That young? I have a 4 year old MBP that just about copes with aperture.
MBP = 4 years old
iMac = 3 years old
And both will be upgraded to Lion. No problems yet , even 1080p content plays well, slight lag to catch up when RWD or FF other than that no problems. :)

Personally I voted no, not because I am ignorant, but because there wasn't a more appropriate answer. It is my job to be concerned about all aspects of computing, but I am NO MORE concerned because of this "month of kernel bugs" than I was before the month of November. I also I find it highly unlikely that I will be nipped by any of these bugs shoehorned into malware before they are wiped clean by a security update.

In the end, the reason why the iPhone 5 won't come out until this fall comes down to the this: the Great East Japan Earthquake that seriously affected the high-tech companies in the Sendai area.
Because so many high-precision computer parts are made in the Sendai region, this has interrupted production of the iPad 2 (despite Apple's claims, in my humble opinion!) and also has made it harder for Apple to obtain the components for the upcoming iPhone 5.
As such, Apple is using the delay to do two, possibly three things:
1. Give more time for the iOS programming team to polish and get ready iOS 5.0, which may have a major interface revamp. (likely already done)
2. Gives time for the iPhone hardware engineers to incorporate the near-field communications (NFC) functionality for phone-based payment systems, including full compatibility with the Sony FeliCa system that is widely used in eastern Asia. (now likely to be done with the extra time afforded by a fall release of the iPhone 5).
3. Gives time for the iPhone hardware engineers to full incorporate the latest Broadcom or Qualcomm cellphone chipset so a single-design phone is fully GSM and CDMA compatible now and be ready for LTE by an update downloaded through iTunes. (likely already done)
Probably a combination of all of this, plus maybe incorporating some newer technologies.
For example: LG just came out with a 3D phone that does a great job for 3D gaming, according to a review in a German newspaper.
I don't know enough about Android, but it's supposed to run with 2.3 Honeycomb or so.
The Japanese incident will afford Apple some time from the impatient "What have you done for me lately?" crowd.
Not that they care, but there are IMO some competitors out there with some good ideas.
Between ios 5 and whatever else is around, I am looking forward to the next iphone.
No issues here with waiting, as an older guy I have no problems waiting until
things are ready:-)
Even coincides with my ATT contract being up end of September.
As for ATT representatives: They'll say anything to make a sale and they usually don't know much, except that they have been told how to deal with unsatisfied customers.

Yep, yep, I figured that bit out. I was looking for the flexible page/quadrant stuff - to print in "booklet" form, for example. It aint in Word for Mac.
My recollection is that Word for Windows doesn't have it either. I have no way to verify that right now, though, since I don't have a Windows computer here on the premises.
If you're willing to suck it up and go to a copy shop, though, then it's a moot point; you can just design it as a normal document and have them bind it on double-sized paper. (Example: they can fold 11" x 17" sheets into a 8.5" x 11" booklet.)

The T-Mobile deal isn't a for sure thing. Likely, but the FTC could block it. Also, as the article states T-Mobile's towers use a different frequencies.
Given that, I'm sure that Apple has been testing a possible T-Mobile iphone for a while. Heck ATT probably wouldn't have tried this buy without knowing that the iphone was ready to go on T-Mobile's towers. Then they don't have to worry about making any adjustments until they are ready to take the tower LTE.
The real question is whether Apple can conceivable making a single line up of iphones that works with ATT, T-Mobile and Verizon or will they have to do three lines. I'm hoping the former cause if I sign up for one and it sucks I'd love to be able to switch without having to return my iphone, buy a new one, resync etc

The Dollar's largest losses have come as a result of the previous 3 rate cuts.
Nope. You might want to have another look at the evidence:
http://finance.yahoo.com/charts#chart6:symbol=eurusd=x;range=2y;indicator=split+volume;charttype=line;crosshair=on;logscale=o n;source=undefined
You can easily see that the euro has been steadily gaining strength against the dollar for at least two years.
The budget the President submits, and what Congress approves, are not the same, after pork-barrel spending is added in.
Not really. Congress has to pass a budget that the president will sign.
I'm not quite sure you have a grasp of the markets...
Uh, right...

I don't want to burst your bubble but Apple sell their tracks in a lossy format. Apple's format for iTunes purcases is a different beast to Flac.
Yeah--open mouth insert foot--you know what they say about assumptions. Oh well, still a better bit rate so I guess I'll just be satisfied with that--or maybe I'll just save a bit of money at Amazon. Thanks for pointing out my poor assumptions. :o

My favorite iPhone design was the first one. Bring back the aluminum and rounded sides. It's not comfortable to hold this iPhone 4 brick!
Currently using the original iPhone (don't ask...I lost an iPhone 4, and a 3GS, and thought it better to wait till iPhone 5 before springing a decent sum of money for a new one), the aluminum looks seriously dated.
Although, maybe it will look a lot sweeter if they made it iPod Touch thin...

I was going to spring for the refurb i5 at $1449 but then I saw the late 2009 i7 for $1369 and was wondering which model I should go for.
I'm honestly leaning towards the i7 and have a lot of faith in apple refurb products.
Apple refurbed are the best you can find in most cases.
Apple never puts previously damaged hardware on the refurbed store, only open boxed then returned products, or products at End Of Life (EOL). You will find TONS of the previous models on there for 15% off or more.
Any damaged goods always get parted out and used as Genius Bar parts for repair.
There are TONS of things I don't like about Apple, but they actually do refurbished good very very well.

Are people still thinking this is coming out next week? There haven't been any other updates since this story was released and I'm starting to doubt it's going to happen on Tuesday. I'd love to know what GPU the 27" is going to have.
I'm thinking the same thing. No new iMac news all week! Makes me think it's not coming tuesday. But who knows. Wish we'd get a spec list or something. I'm guessing it's not a huge overhaul of design. Just an innards update with sandy bridge and the latest desktop processors. Hopefully some muscle in the mobile video card options.
The upgrade that I would absolutely love is a dedicated ssd for OS and frequently used apps (like a 64 gb or 128 gb drive). And then a 1tb platter for storage.

I think if there were no guns besides the law enforcements then America would be a much safer place.
Then what would law-enforcement need guns for?
It is literally impossible to get rid of guns here. The only thing gun-control does is take away guns from those who legitimately and responsibly own them. You think the guns that gangsters and criminals have are registered? I think not.
