hope they aren't automatic then people will lose their jailbreaks!
def. won't be automatic as people have bandwidth restrictions with their carrier.
also, i wouldn't even mind this being over wifi.

LOL! That's precisely why the "limited supply" iPad2 launch was such a fiasco. You impulse buyers couldn't pull the trigger. Seriously... were this any other company other than Apple at least top 3 execs would have had their asses thrown out the door.
Since the same exact thing happened with the XBox 360, PS3, and Wii - I must've missed the news stories that announced the firing of Microsoft's, Sony's, and Nintendo's top executives.
Could you provide a link to those news items please? Thanks!

Whoz gonna "BUY" Vista....??
I am definitely not shelling out $250 odd dollars for WINDOWS VISTA!
Don't forget the additional $1000 that you will have to shell out for hardware that is capable of running Windoze Vista.

I wouldn't stand idle if an individual near me were being mugged/robbed/attacked/raped, I do not feel my country should stand idle if innocent lives are at risk and it is in our power to save them.

Anyone knows if the mac pro allows us to upgrade to PCI graphics cards bought from retail stores? Will there be any driver issues? Do graphics card vendors include Mac drivers on their installation disc? Never seen one that does though..
Thx for answering.No there are not Mac drivers for cards that aren't Mac specific. So we are always in the dog house when it comes to video cards. It's tragic. :( I don't know if being on an Intel motherboard will help or not. Anyone know?

The wait is killing me and my MacBook. My poor machine is dying slowly and painfully. The palmrest has chipped again, the processor is burned out, the fans are loudly overturning to try and keep the processor from overheating only to fail when the processor gets to 87� and the computer shuts itself down to save itself from burning up. The battery "needs servicing". It's a mess. I have waited patiently for a new machine, and will wait patiently for a little while more, but I really hope they come soon.
I have $1100 coming to me from the government. I want to give it to you, Apple. Just release them new machines!
It sounds like you are brutally hard on your MacBook ....
Also, that $1100 is actually your money that you let the government hold for you all year long and earn interest on it. If you were smart, you would adjust your withholding and keep that money in your pocket. =)

If Apple was rejecting applications because they use private APIs, then that's just the sort of thing Hewitt was complaining about in the first place. He wants a "free and open" programming environment, with nobody saying "Hey, you can't put this on our platform unless you code it THIS way!"
Honestly, I think there needs to be a "middle ground" here. I don't see Apple EVER doing things the way Hewitt wants them done. This isn't the world wide web, where essentially, "anything goes" and your content gets viewed on all manner of devices and browsers. This is a proprietary, commercial device, marketed by a company that places a lot of value on being able to control all aspects of the products they sell (from the "opening the box" experience to the software, to the customer service experience years after the sale).
That said, the *review process* itself needs major revamping! Most iPhone developers aren't screaming about wanting everything totally "free and open". They're simply saying, "Hey Apple! If you're going to reject my app or an update to it, be PROMPT about it, and give me DETAILS on exactly what I can change to make it acceptable to you!" Truthfully, with as many apps as are being submitted these days, Apple will probably need to streamline the process. Stop manually reviewing each and every submission. Instead, do some automated code review to make sure certain "off limits" things aren't in the code, and then default to accepting the app. Provide an easy way for people to "flag" an app in the store though, so live humans can review it as requested for violations, and remove it if needed.
Reading some of the posts about this on Twitter, it may (or may not be) about the Three20 project (Objective C library for developing iPhone apps) that was developed by Hewitt. It apparently was using private APIs and may have been getting other people's apps, who were using the code, rejected. Conceivably, the Facebook app could have been using the same private API calls and was continually getting rejected. Supposedly, Apple has some new way to check out if you're using these APIs. Hewitt may have just got fed up with the situation and decided to quit.

To all those cutting military by huge percentages, what are your plans to deal with the millions of unemployed that would produce?
What were the plans with dealing with the millions of other Americans who've lost their jobs in this last recession?
Oh, that's right, there were no plans. All those people were expected to figure it out for themselves.
I'd suggest that those who's careers are based on maintaining our military can file for unemployment and search the want ads just like everybody else.

Yes, it does.
For whom doesn't understand what we are talkin' about: There is a way to enable 4~5 fingers gesture function which is allowed only for developers. Purchase Xcode($4.99) from Mac App Store, install it, connect the iPad to the USB port and Xcode will recognize your iPad and there is a button asks you to use this iPad for development purpose. Click it and it will ask your developer ID but you can simply click cancel, it will anyway continue the procedure to enable the function. After that, go to the preference - general on you iPad, you will get to see the option for the 4~5 fingers gesture. I personally think, it is worth more than $5.
Thanks for the explanation, but can you tell us what type of actions the 4-5 finger gestures perform? Very curious...
Also, does this update require all of the data to be re-sync'd? I HATE when that happens...

It is really pending on whether AT&T will be up to par with Verizon's LTE by this fall... This is why I still think that the iPhone 5 will have no LTE(coming in June again), and the iPhone 6 will be coming out in June/July of 2012 offered with 4G(LTE) from either Verizon or AT&T...

Greed on Apple's part might be the reason. I'm sure they will wait a few months after everyone has bought the 4GB in color, then announce 8GB iPod Nanos in color.
That, or the middle size/price just sells way more than the pricier one. :rolleyes:

The iPhone 4.. A POS :D that's what it is. And that's not a wild hyperbole. A wild hyperbole would be "it's the worst phone ever, in the universe" Compared to the other iphones, it is. Actually, it sounds as if your exaggerating what I'm saying for the sake of envoking feelings... Which is a hyperbole. :-)
What makes it a piece of ****, exactly? The issues it had early on that were fixed with the software update? It's much more superior in every way to the 3GS than the 3GS was to the 3.
Personally, I've sold my past iphones on craigslist, and bought the new model each year since the 3G, and actually made money from one to the next each time (sold the 3GS for $315, and bought the 4 for $230...or whatever it was to do an early upgrade)...never got why more people didn't do that.
Oh, back on topic...I'll sell my iphone 4 for more than it's gonna cost me for the 5 no matter when they put it out and what they have on it and I reckon I'll be happy. ;)

In other words, this attention-craving hacker decided to use a Mac to demonstrate an exploit that is far more threatening to a PC. The chances of a Macbook user a) buying a 3rd party wireless card and b) hooking it up to a Macbook are slim and none.
+++
Quoted for truth.
This is the key to this story, and I'm very disappointed in the media for completely missing this. The 3rd party peripheral being used was not secure, and *ANY* computer using this device could be compromised...even a Mac. But they really should point out that Mac's don't need these devices, so it's really a hypothetical demonstration.
Mac OS X has become the Everest of hacking challenges... these guys just took a helicopter to the top rather than climbing. But eventually, malware that affects OS X will start to create some issues... however, regardless of market-share, the design characteristics of OS X will keep malware from ever becoming the issue it is for Windows.
Cheers

I hope this is true!!!
How is Sony's track record with sensors though?
Let's go Fall! (Not even WWDC ;))
They make all of Nikons sensors, even the high end D3S and D3X dSLRs ones. They also made (or make?) Canon point and shoot sensors; at least as of a few years ago. Sony was one of the first with backlit CMOS as well.
Oh, and I think Pentax, if you want to consider them a camera compay, uses Sony sensors.
They also make the sensor in the excellent d7000, which handles high iso really well.
This can only be good news..

Why is it so hard to get Flash on the iPhone? How come other devices can have it, and the iPhone can't? I mean I know it wouldn't be full blown Flash with keyboard controls and mouse actions, but it would be nice to at least SEE it and be able to CLICK on a few buttons, that's all I need...

[...]or if you can go to the newsagency, download Wired or The Times via BlueTooth with an automatic transaction approved with a thumbprint.
The thumbprint thing might turn some people off, but just downloading the latest issue of whatever magazine you want to your iPod at the newsagency... mmh! :)

WOW!!!! 8 megapixe?!!!!!!! i remember like 5 years ago when i bought a 200$ camera and it was 6 megapixels and it was considered amazing and here is the iphone with a 8!!! ITS CRAZZZYYY:confused:
It is crazy, because with the tiny sensors in cheap cameras (and in the iPhone / iPad) you get the best overall results with a 6 megapixels camera. Anything above that just introduces more noise because you don't get enough light per pixel.

I see them thinking that the iPod line should definitely move to a 100% touch-screen interface. However, like many people have already said, sometimes you just want a music player. I love having my entire music collection in my bag at any time with the Classic. They should keep it until they can truly beef up the capacity for the the Touch.
