The issue being that Halo proportionately seems to have a greatest number of jerks playing, as compared to say other games.
I think you're choosing to miss my point. The feeling amongst many is that Halo proportionately has the greatest collection pinheads collectively. Whether Halo had only 4 people, 3 of them would be @$$hats, while say Forza ( which does have some seriously anal players ) might have 1 out of 4 jerks. The fact that Halo is the biggest online portion of Live, is besides the point, law of averages aside.
The shame is that a game as great as Halo, somehow brings out the worse in such a large portion of it's players.
... And yes, the PA cartoon is dead on. :)
I also promise I'm done with this, I just wanted to make sure I was clear. :)

Almost all developers live in a world where they code to specs and standards. Their code is then reviewed by other developers, tested repeatedly and then approved for implementation.
Apple's model isn't different from what most companies do internally.
Yeah, the point just flew right above your head. Just like 99% of the posters on this thread. This is not about others "reviewing" our apps. It is about the process itself. Do you know that Trillian (yep, the messenger) has been in review for 2 months now without a word from Apple?
Spending time, money, and effort working on an App, submitting it then sitting not knowing what is going to happen or when you are going to hear back from them is ridiculous. Assuming after waiting 3 weeks, they found a bug in your app. You know what happens? Even if you can fix the bug in 1 min? You are sent to the back of the queue for another 3 weeks. That is almost 2 months to get your app to the store. I know some dude who had his app approved after 4 months. A complete joke!
This developer that you are joking about worked on Firefox (yeah, that's right!) and firebug (one of the best FF extensions EVER).
You guys are funny.

What about something made in Germany? ;)
Not sure people would jump the gun on an Audi R8 had it been made in Asia! :D
I would. Germany is pretty much set on protecting it's industrial base.

hmm... but shouldn't they wait until 802.11n becomes more than just a draft of a format?
Other products, including a few from Apple, are using draft-n hardware already.
Maybe they won't be 100% compliant, but unless something earth shattering happens before 802.11n is finalized, I'd expect that many draft-n products could be made compatible with equipment using the the final standard, with little more than a firmware change.
And wasn't 802.11g still in the draft stage when it was introduced in the AirPort Extreme? (Extreme was introduced on January 7, but 802.11g was not ratified until June 2003.)

From the blog:
"We're not picking specifically on Macs here, but if you watch those 'Get a Mac' commercials enough, it eventually makes you want to stab one of those users in the eye with a lit cigarette or something," Maynor said.
With this kind of angst, why wouldn't they use the internal Airport card?

Why is that different for any other part of the federal budget? Federal $ = Federal jobs + Contractor jobs.
So a $60B cut (that isn't enough) will result in > 100K federal jobs lost and likely a similar number of first line government contractors.
Some funding results in more jobs than others. For example, cuts to Medicaid funding that are derived from reducing fraud and abuse, actually result in more jobs (enforcement). The same cuts from the military may result in the loss of some military positions, or more likely, the cutting of some program which will result in job losses.
Not all cuts are created equal, and not all spending results in the same benefit. (Tax cuts result in almost no economic benefit, but unemployment results in a large economic multiplier).

#1 Movies 640 by 480? No widescreen or animorphic? forget that! I haven't bought a 4x3 movie since 1998
Are you sure they aren't anamorphic? I want to find this out.
Even an anamorphic DVD is still a 4:3 file. It just stretches it out. And Quicktime does support non-square pixels.

But don't they manage patches with Mac OS X all the time... ? And Mac OS X has much more of the OS exposed and accessible to the user (more to be tinkered with).
There is a common issue where the OSX patches don't work right, and people's answer is always to go get the Combo Upgrade and use that instead. Many people just start at the Combo these days. I'm always willing to cope with a larger download if it makes things easier later. Even when I was on 1.5Mbps connection, I'd just let the download run while I sleep.
Personally, I'm fine with plugging my phone into my dock. (which is also a USB hub, for those worried about # of ports) It's almost as easy as setting it on a table, so I don't really care about wifi updates. I'd rather charge while downloading large files instead of burning battery.
It's fine for those that can't be bothered with a wired setup, or have only a laptop, I guess.

With this 3D facetracking display being rumored, the first thing I thought of was the future of iPad gaming.
Imagine playing a game, where instead of moving the right analog to change the camera angle, you just move your head to look around the corner.
(come on everybodys tried it with there tv at least once :P)
But then I came upon the fact that the placing of the cam on the ipad would pretty much prevent landscape mode since your thumb would be in the way.
Then of course, theres the new smart cover or any docking system, you could prop it up in landscape mode and use some sort of bluetooth controller or maybe an iPhone as a controller to your iPad.
I would be so impressed.

After playing "Where's Waldo" with that banner, all I have been able to ascertain is that there is going to be some kind of computer shaped like a hammer.
Seriously though, I need a mac mini so bad. I have the baseball bat sitting right next to my current Emachines just waiting to go all Office Space on it's sorry @#$. Thank goodness for my Ibook, the only thing keeping me sane at this point.

There's precious little details on what the actual exploit is, so no.. I don't think anyone here knows, yet.
Yeah, I bet there are no more details released on the vulnerability until a patch is released.

Well here I go for my very first recall :(
I wonder how long those other batteries (the ones that failed of course) have been running because mine has lasted 2 years without any problems.
Interestingly that my father was telling me about the Dell recall and said that the info he read mentioned Apple. I took him seriously but was going to wait for an Apple recall to be confirmed.
Edit: Well c**p, looks like I shall have to call Apple as my computer is eligible but the battery is not even though it falls within the range.

I don't think Wal-Mart makes money on a lot of their DVDs. They sell them at a loss to get people in their stores. If people buy on iTunes, they don't come into Wal-Mart.
15+ dollars for a 15 cent disc with 45 cents in packaging around it shipped for about 95 cents. Walmart is making plenty. Wholesale for new DVDs is about 7 dollars less distribution costs (typically less than a dollar a disc). Older movies I have seen go for as little as 2$ wholesale.

Wal-Mart is an EVIL CORPORATION!!
I do not mean that as HYPERBOLE, i mean that as FACT!!
Wal-Mart has violated every single law in the entire book, they destroy people's lives, they destroy communities, and they destroy humans.

Odd that it isn't also at 1 infinite loop. Hmmm, maybe this is their 'area 51' of sorts. I feel a conspiracy coming on.
Nah dude, the battery division is in a different building :-)
3rd Gen iPod Touch update - 409Mb
1st Gen iPad update - 593Mb
Wonder why such a big difference in download size when neither have things like Face Time...
