Here is my take on recent history...
Amen.
*And when I say "amen," I mean it in a completely secular way, not addressed to any deity. ;)

That's not what the article says. I interpreted it to mean that someone or some department within some publishing company was told... by someone else at the publishing company... to get all of their manuscripts archived and sent over to Apple.
That was my reading, that they were ordered by their sbosses in the company to get the manuscripts ready and sent to Apple, presumably because of a deal between the two companies.

Wasn't Tandy sort of a big name in computers back in the 80's? It seems like when I was little quite a few people had Tandy computers from RS.
I had a TRS-80 Color Computer 2 around 1984 when I was 11 and later a Tandy 1000HX. I loved radio shack, not sure why all the hate from here... Being a real store of course an adapter, wire, or plug will cost more from them; but they usually have them in stock and will take returns if it is wrong. I went looking for a few obscure parts and they do still stock them, its just they are in the long pull-out drawers so its not so obvious what they have. Plus they are usually kept up nice and are local; I wish Apple could partner with them for computer sales as well. The local store orders food from my restaurant all the time, so I would love to give them business.

I think Apple's strategy has always been to delay implementing new technology until it functions seamlessly.
Apparently, Blu-ray doesn't function seamlessly yet. :rolleyes::D

While you're at it why not steal car if you can't pay for it? Or go to your local store and swipe an iPhone because you can't afford it? Sounds reasonable then I'm sure. :rolleyes:
Also, while I'd love cheaper pricing, they are basing their pricing off of economic considerations from their home country and pricing their software accordingly. And it always cracks me to hear "no one will starve they makes lots of money!" well they have to in order to keep making new software!
see here is where your wrong, i'm not saying you should go and steel from the working class guy...i say take what you got coming...the way i see it, the only reason we can afford to buy a mac and software is because of the west exploiting today's poor country's...your entire world is build on theft in every meaning of the word,yet your to ignorant to see except you guys came up with a name for all the thievery and called it business overseas. Again this proves how ignorant/arrogant the west is, they just took whatever didn't belonged to them, they even took entire country's (does the word colonization mean something to you?) exploited the country's then left the people there to starve because the "civilized" western country's made it impossible for them to build an economy simply because the stripped the entire country of its riches...

Thanks! I was waiting for the sunset over the city last night and the clouds screwed me. So I stuck around in the cold and took some night shots. Here's another from the same bench that I didn't like as much.

No, agreed, the first one is much better. I like the emptiness contrasted with the big city sky. It gives it a nice, romantic and almost nostalgic feeling.
Here's one from my latest concert shoot, Streetlight Manifesto. I had forgotten how much fun ska punk was! These guys were all over the place. I got lucky with this shot and timed it just when someone else released their flash from a P&S.

Well Apple certainly got more sensational coverage over their recall. Hence the Apple haters in my life barraging me with BS. :rolleyes:
I have gotten a little bit of this as well today.
I just remind those individuals that Apple does not make batteries. Then I tell them where Apple gets their batteries from (i.e. Sony) then people usually are quiet after that. :)

you can judge me all you want ... my family is both Canadian and American.
I live on both sides of the border.
sorry if I do not support everyone's Anti-American Military views.
Cutting the Military is not for me ... Even though I would have to pay higher taxes, I'd rather scrap all these Government Casinos and Government Bookies we have up in Canada than reduce even one dollar in Military spending.
You still have not explained your position. Why does a country NEED such a large military budget and how does it benefit the citizens of said country?

Augh, I was hoping they would redesign the G5 case. Its been 3 years!! Cmon apple, stop milking old designs. I think this is the first time that Apple hasnt changed the look of the case when going to a new processor (theyve even changed cases when NOT changing processors...)

Has anyone noticed that the refurb section at the Apple Online Store is completely out of stock of all 15" and 13" Macbook Pros? I can't remember this being the case recently and it makes me wonder if this is related to a possible new release of those size configurations. There are multiple configs of the 17" MBP available.
This has been brought up a lot, and the consensus seems to be that refurb inventory doesn't correlate at all with an impending release.

As for why Countries like Canada and the US fare better with a large Military.
Let's call it a personal preference ... I am not as convinced as others that may believe having a strong Military should be a low priority.
To each their own ... have you ever thought that if the US slashed their military budget to 100 billion ... that money would just get squandered away.
or do people think ... oh no, our Government all of a sudden would spend it wisely.

Interesting.....powerbooks and ibooks sold through this month but not the batteries in the Macbook or Macbook Pro....I'm thinking the newer batteries (for MBP and MB) are OK because they use Li-Poly cells instead of Li-Ion.

It probably won't come before Christmas. Would cut into sales of the Beatles LOVE Songtrack. A Macworld accouncement would be about right!
I agree it might cut into sales of the physical CD, but I think overall sales of the album would skyrocket if it were on iTunes. Making it available on iTunes now would also stop some people from going to the "file sharing" sites to find it. On Amazon.com the CD is selling for $9.72. I have a feeling that on iTunes it would be at least $12.99... and people would pay it. Record company profits either way.

hahaha, that'd be a bit of an oversight. i wonder if the new batteries are being specially made for the recall...
Sort of. Sony corrected the defect in their cells, so that newly built battery packs using those cells won't have the problem.

The key point facilitating foreign intervention in Libya is the fact that one of the factions in this civil war invited us to participate, within certain limitations. This is not an invasion, nor is it unilateral action by any party. The entire affair is predicated on 1) The Libyan opposition's call for help and 2) A UN resolution sanctioning the use of force in Libya, with support froom the Arab league (and in this case NATO as well). The actions retain legitimacy so long as this broad coalition can be maintained. Obama has never suggested that the US should or would be involved except as part of a coalition.
Finally, it is clear that Obama is flouting neither the constitution nor congress by these actions. Any claim to the contrary is either misinformed or disingenuous. That isn't to say I am enthusiastic about the affair, or that I complately agree with the president's war powers as they currently stand.
But Republicans are trying hard to get maximum political mileage out of their criticisms, with the result that they are overstepping the mark.

Oh ya... he's something cheesie... this has been on my mind for a while. In january, Steve demoed GarageBand and showed how to make PodCast. He did that fake podcast and said 'Hi this is steve, and this is my Super secret apple PodCast' then he proceded to make jokes about the next iPod... he said the next iPod coming out would have a 10 inch screen and weigh 8 pounds.
Well... Tuesday is 8/10
Remember 2 years ago when Jobs demoed Spotlight... he searched for 'Paris' then searched for iMac. Sure enough... the iMac G5 was released at Paris.
I just thought that was interesting.

I just went to Scotsys and John Lewis in Edinburgh to eye up the new nanos, and neither of them had them. <disappointed> :(
Give it a few days. I've so far only found them in London at the Apple Store itself. They are worth the wait :)

Well, yes and no. The title of the page reads 'Core 2 Duo'. The page also states it's available to pre order, with a release date of the 13th.
Sure, but it has obviously nothing to do with the specs of the new macbook.

That's a really dangerous way of looking at it. It's much better to have three sets of money -- our money, my money, and your money. Preferably in separate bank accounts. In a situation like you sketch, usually one or the other spouse ends up doing most of the purchases with the communal chest, and that can lead to conflict when the other one wants to get something for himself.
Kids have pocket money, which they can spend as they see fit -- adults should have at least some money that is unquestionably theirs as well. It's a lot easier to agree, once, that M and F's personal entertainment budgets are $n per month, than it is to agree that this september, we'll get a couch, and then maybe in january we'll get an ipad, etc... Budgetting and saving apply on that level as well as the communal property level.
"Dangerous" ... this is junk talk. Who have you been listening to that suggests this? My wife and I have been married 12 years and have shared the same bank account that whole time, no separate accounts. (Jesus, what a nightmare to keep track of!) We've never once had a conflict about spending like you suggest we should. Why? because we live as WeegieMac does, the poster you're ripping on. We have respect for each other and our mutual needs as well as our individual desires. And we make sacrifices when we need to - both of us. Most of the responses in here act like marriage is a competition to see who can get what, or who can sneak this or that past their spouse. It's just shameful. What a tiring life that must be.

The MacBook doesn't need a Core 2 Duo processor. Apple needs to leave a gap between the MacBook and the MacBook Pro.
There's still quite a big difference between the MB and the MBP even if they both have C2D processors.
CPU speed isn't the only thing to care about you know.
