Steve is great. :cool:
I'm curious. Just how "slow" (transfer speed) is the wireless on Zune?
slower then handing over your earbud.

Yep, poor ole' Saddam, just an innocent bystander. :rolleyes:
Saddam was not the threat that Bush made him out to be. It was only after the WMD charade completely fell apart (I suspect Bush figured they'd find something to tout as proof, didn't happen) that the reasoning was shifted to "spreading democracy" and the atrocities of Saddam were pushed hard. Simply put, the war was built and sold on a complete lie, and it was only after that fell apart it became about human rights and (US interests approved) "democracy".
If a country's regime committing human rights abuses was really the USA's reasoning behind intervention we would have invaded Saudi Arabia, Israel, etc. Simply put, the USA cares if and only if there is some vital interest to be obtained. I haven't quite figured out the strategic importance of Libya to be honest. Who knows, maybe it'll be just like how massive lithium reserves were (re)"discovered" in Afghanistan after we invaded (they have been known about for almost a century, but it seems to have escaped the history books somehow).

As much as I love my iPod touch, it'll never replace my 160gb Classic. Having pretty much every album and song I've ever owned and/or loved, as a child, and in my adult years, is priceless. Glad I picked one up last year.

Well, I'm certainly glad you're not letting blind partisanship guide your thinking...:rolleyes: Oy.
Never thought i would hear a republican say "illegal war". If this was a republican president, i think dime would be singing a different tune. If a democrat takes military action, suddenly the republicans become hippies.

On a side note, is this the same battery they're recalling (and still selling)? :rolleyes:

hahaha, that'd be a bit of an oversight. i wonder if the new batteries are being specially made for the recall...

The basis for any good relationship is communication. And I am not sure what kind of money you make, but $500 is a pretty big wad of cash to throw down and it should merit a conversation with your spouse. Its not like you threw down a $1 on a cheeseburger, or $2 on a scratch off, or heck $20 of beer. You spent $500, thats like a whole months utilities. Thats a car payment. Thats a few hours of tuition for your kid's college one day. Its no chump change.
And household income should be considered just that, household. It does not matter who makes more money, it should be community, and if you're spending $500 on an iPad, then you're lady should be able to spend $500 on a coach purse. How would you feel about that?
Non-necessities, expensive purchases should always be discussed. There is a need for open, honest communication in a marriage. If you don't have that, and you are running around buying ipads without consulting them, well unless you got a fad wad of cash, you likely wont stay married long.
Its about respect. If you don't respect your wife enough to discuss a $500 purchase with her, then you don't deserve to have the companionship of a female.
Eh, you misunderstood me. The main point I was making is that the wife should not be able to prevent such a purchase IF THEY CAN AFFORD IT. In many cases, money itself is not an issue in such a purchase, as the wife would not blink twice in spending that amount on something SHE wants. My point was that sometimes they refuse things simply because they dont see it benefitting THEM- and that is something selfish, and shows a lack of respect. Of course if the guy is blowing $$ on an iPad when they're having trouble putting food on the table, thats an issue. My post wasnt centered on these cases. It made the assumption that it could comfortably be afforded, but which the wife doesnt see the value in it for herself, which is the sole reason of the refusal or the demand that it be returned. And Ive seen this on many, many occasions. I know this guy that brings in 6 figures a yr, yes his wife (who brings in nothing) controls the bank account. The guy has no balls, his wife dictates the purchases, buys whatever the hell she pleases, and gets upset when he spends on anything without consulting her. She doesnt let him buy **** he wants, the cost of which is a drop in the bucket compared to the income he makes, simply because SHE doesnt see the value in it. But like I said, the guy has no balls and takes it, while she spends thousands on shoes, etc without needing to consult him.But hey, some people love that ****. Sometimes you need to do things that give you individual pleasure in a marriage, not always 'pleasure as a unit'.

The sandboxing done on the iPhone means no application can access other applications data, and the only access they have is to the address book. This could be mitigated by prompting the user to allow an app to be granted access to the address book in cases where the app wasn't approved by apple.
Couldn't Facebook also approve all of their applications by default, and only be given access to a user's personal information by explicit consent of that user?

was anyone able to get the search feature on their 5th gen ipods ? or where able to get the new games playable ? it didn't work for me.. nor was i able to get the search feature .. this is what i get when i connect my ipod
the search function seems to only be for the new ipods.
games work, though.. you just have to go to Ipod Games in the source list (if it's not in the source list, you need to enable it in Preferences), double click a game, enter your Apple ID and password.. it'll authorize, and then be able to sync to the ipod.

I find it very disturbing that an adult man would have to ask his wife for permission to buy an iPad, much less return one because she said "No."

I think he's referring to the "Fun, New products" event. That wasn't a disaster at all though, it was forum people predicting MacBooks, Mac Pros, new iPods blah blah blah. As predicted the Mac Mini was transitioned and the iPod got a Hi-Fi, but everyone else wanted more.

If a player is anticipating a "new" experience, I'd agree that there is room for disappointment from a story perspective.
If someone is playing the 5th game in a series, and still expects new and dramatically different gameplay or story elements, they've set themselves up for letdown from the start. Halo is, and always has been, a shooter based around the Human-Covenant war. I'm not sure how much variance you can have in there (Halo Wars notwithstanding). That would be like hoping that the new Call of Duty is something other than a military-based, wartime shooter. It just isn't going to happen.
If I critique it, story wise there seems to be no revelations regarding mankind's prequel pre-Halo encounter with the Covenant.
Well, if someone really wants to know that stuff, there have been 3 or 4 books written in the Halo universe, along with Halo Wars, that fill in a lot of details about the story Pre-Installation 04. Not to mention all the Terminals in Halo 3 and the Datapads in Reach. If you want info, it is out there. And it is good. :D

That's the problem. There's no way I'm having a white laptop.
My friend calls them toilet seats. But he has a white one too. Trust me, Apple screwed up with the black finish. It's stupid matte paint that absorbs grease marks, and *does* peel off. I had both issues.
Your only other option then is a MacBook Pro. Worth it IMO, but you might not want to pay the premium.

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......
My bet is on Macbook pro update. with merom processor. maybe even a new form.

If the black thing in the picture is the Intel Core Duo 2 and previous reports say that the new PowerMacs will be using a Xeon processor then Apple would have to announce something else, maybe Core Duo 2 MacBook Pros or iMacs. But that is only if the previous reports are true.....:rolleyes:

I don't know why so many people are against 3D. It sounds like people who say "Get off my lawn!!" Sure, 3D isn't fully developed yet, but even the 3DS is pretty neat and adds a whole new level of gameplay and immersion. It is surely the next level of tangible UI.

It's not every Beatles song and they only have the publishing rights.
The publishing rights are what was being discussed and it's every song in the Beatles catalog. There are other songs by the Beatles and the individual artists which are not part of the catalog being discussed. I wasn't referring to those, or the mechanical rights.

PS: I have a screw in the middle of the bottom. Dunno if it has always been there. It could inded have been addd to hold the new (different) logic board and the heatsink in place so both won't touch ach other. But it doesn't look like it was added afterwards... is there anyon who didn't get his macbook repaired yet have this screw too? It's exactly in the centre of the shell on the bottom of the case. Just beeing curious. :-)
Yes, the screw has always been there. Pictures were posted earlier. They're not sitting in the back of the Apple Store with power drills driving screws into the bottoms of your MacBooks...
