There's an old saying, " What good is the hardware without the software?" ;)
You have an evil avatar :) I was trying to squash the bug for a few seconds before I realized that it was a gif.
I hate it when bugs crawl on my screen.

Whats the point in the 8 gig when you can get so much more capacity for only £20 more?!
Seems fairly bizarre really, you'd have to really like little black things to bother surely!
anyone getting one care to explain your rationale?
You can't be serious. Have you ever exercised? I personally exercise 5 times a week and I love listening to music when I do. The nano is so small that I can easily put it in any pocket and not even notice it. A 5G Ipod is a different story. That thing would constantly hit your leg and be annoying to work out with.
There is something to be said for the physical size of devices (especially PORTABLE devices), not just how much music or content it can hold. I also already have one big device- a Blackberry that I carry everyday. I don't need two things that size.

Adobe is not making any new fans with this scheme. I went from MX Studio 2004 to CS4 to CS5, and they cant even give me a free minor update? Either it it has enough new features to release it as a major update, or it doesn't.
I've given them a lot of money over the years, and they can't even give me a free minor update?

No-glasses 3D on a screen that large could be very impressive. Would be a strong reason to get movies just for the iPad. Of course, only one person can look at it at a time and you'd have to be in the sweet spot.
I'd rather have retina display if a choice had to be made.
I'd also imagine it in the iPhone/Touch first, anyway, with 3D pictures and video. Could be a strong selling point.
The point about smudges on a touch screen is valid. Also, your hand interupting the plane would be distracting, but that could be handled by keeping most of the 3D going into the screen, not coming out (like most 3DS games).
P.S. If you can't see the 3D on a Nintendo 3DS with the slider turned on, you were either far from the sweet spot and didn't try to look at it for more than 1-2 seconds, or you simply can't see 3-dimensions in everyday life either. There are some who can't. I find the effect to be very cool, I just don't enjoy playing with cramped hands on tiny buttons with an unforgiving viewing angle and low resolution screens... painful too because I LOVE the Nintendo franchises -- wait what forum is this?

I think they'll keep the Classic around until the iPod Touch exceeds 100GB. And I'm guessing that will happen in September.
Of course, I've been guessing that will happen "in September" for about 3 years running now.

Yet people happily go there and spend money in droves, because as much as they dislike a large company bullying other companies (and in this case, the competition) and as much as they dislike supporting sweatshops or a bad employer, they dislike wasting their meager paycheck on markups even more.
It's the same Starbucks mentality that fills the world with hypocrisy.
I think you're giving people too much credit - I'll bet most don't know about Wal-Mart's shadyness, don't care and wouldn't care if they DID know.
It might not be David v.s. Goliath but all the suits at Wal-Mart certainly are a bunch of Philistines.

Old timer here, I still have a first gen iPod. The kind with a mechanical jog wheel...
What you're all forgetting is that, before the iPod, MP3 players were either the size of a Diskman (remember those), or only held 16 songs. The iPod was entering a market that didn't exist, and it was also the first iProduct Apple Computer Inc released. Nobody expected it, nobody cared about it.
You still see the same attitude on these boards, when someone says "I don't care about the iPad 2, I just want my Core i7 MBP!" There's no difference, except now we've seen that iProducts do sell, and don't laugh them off so easily...
You can't tell me you wouldn't laugh and make the same sort of comments if Apple released a clothing line. ;)
if the clothesline held 5000 pieces of clothes, put them up for me, dried them quickly, and then folded them in baskets? I wouldn't laugh.
Your point about hindsight is well taken but some of us didn't pay attention to the nay sayers then, and still don't. I bought gen 1 iPod as well, and loved it. And the point those old comments make clear, as more than one person pointed out, people will always naysay the new... and still do today. Except today they go to extremes to find flaws as well and insist 'fail'
Bah

Automatic, without user authentication would not make sense. Apple has never issued updates or installed anything without user interaction. That would open the OS up to security risks. So, it wont be automatic.
Over 3G? No thank you. Wireless on WiFi is fine.
Automatic as in do now or do later but must do until a certain time has passed.
Given their firmware signing they must have something like that...

I think Apple may at least consider putting an ATI x1400 in the top model (blackbook) but I'm afraid the Intel x3000 for Mobile chipset is not coming out until Santa Rosa. The desktop version is now available with the G965 but the mobile version is next year sorry. So its GMA950 till then or ATI x1400 if you are VERY lucky (or is there a Geforce Go 7300GS?, that would still be way better than the GMA950)

No, this is incorrect.
Apple sold it's OS's for Mac hardware only, long before people started running OS X on PC's.
Mac OS's sold without hardware are sold as upgrades. End of story.
You're missing the point. If you have a Mac that meets the hardware requirements, you can purchase any version of OS X, there is no other software prerequisite. The fact that it is an "upgrade" is irrelevant, because you don't already to have any other software, other that what the computer originally shipped with.
For the people who thinks that Vista is too expensive:
Mac users: Spend more $ on hardware. Spend less $ on software.
Windows users: Spend more $ on software. Spend less $ on hardware.
What a shock the computing industry works both ways. :eek:

B. exactly what property do you think they were protecting? the idea that no company should be allowed to be called apple, in any business, ever? even after the same exact case had been settled before? ever heard of the 5th amendment?
You mean this 5th Amendment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution)? :confused: :confused:
"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

Ok, so here is what I think is happening. The release of MBP may happen before the iPad because Apple want to have customers buy both the iPad and the MBP. On the other hand, the release of a brand new product (iPad) is critical for them and they need to pull everything into it. That's why they choose not releasing MBP untill AFTER the iPad in fear of killing the interest of it.
So my conclusion is that it's either happening this tuesday or never...
and by never I mean many weeks after the iPad launch, far out in april :(

Back on topic...
I don't know why people are going on and on about the $400 price for Windows Vista Ultimate version. That's a retail price, just like the $300 retail price for windows XP. Only an idiot would buy a retail version of windows when you can get the same full install (not an upgrade) oem version for a fraction of that price.
A retail version of Windows XP professional SP2 is $300 at compUSA and the OEM of XP pro SP2 is $130 at my local PC parts store.
Retail pricing isn't even worth discussing unless Microsoft decides to end oem sales of windows.

Why all the focus on Bach in this thread?
Beatles>Jesus>Beethoven>[insert 40 or 50 names here]
>Bach
I think there was a quote from Mozart, who obviously didn't know the Beatles, who didn't rank Jesus very high as a composer, but who put Bach ahead of Beethoven.

Wrong again. I am focusing on Africans because that's the topic you created to discuss. Moving the goalposts again.
No one is moving the goal posts, you're not answering my questions. I'm just comparing to prove a point. No one else is whining about past discrimination except blacks. Everyone was discriminated at some point. They've all moved past it.
My primary basis for debate is fact. Yours is uncited assertion, accusation and "common knowledge" without any basis in fact. You are hiding behind weasel-words.
Nein. What uncited assertion? I provided you with facts and statistics. You just don't seem to like them and don't want to face the facts. But that's ok.
Whereas you'd prefer to prattle on about trailer parks...in the US. Fine, let's talk other countries - but what on earth is a racial history? I challenge you to find a single country with a significant black population that has no history of prejudice.
Prattle on about trailer parks? Yeah because you made the assertion that poor white areas are as dangerous as poor black areas. Which is BS. Why should i find a country without a history of racial prejudice? Again, all the other races have moved past it except blacks. Beside the fact, many blacks in the UK are immigrants and their ancestors didn't even deal with racial prejudice in the UK. So figure that one out.
