What we need to do is GET RID OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE and IRS.. thats what we need to get rid of and bring the jobs back from India.. We also need to take complete control of the banks and corporations - power to the people.. or freedom, something this country does not have at present.

I don't think anyone doubts the machine can do the expose effect (the iPad 1 does it in Safari just fine).

There are plenty of reasons it might have been turned down for their final switcher implementation. One, the final iOS allows a variable number of programs to remain open depending on their memory requirements. The expose implementation implies that 9 can be open. That's inconsistent UI. Two, as others have mentioned, you can't always tell the difference between apps at a glance from little screenshots. So they went with icons in the end.

It can be scrollable. And can't icons just be overlaid in the corner a'la Lion Mission Control?

That's beyond rediculous.
NYC is banned?

That must mean I'm not normal. :D

Is there really anyone normal on tech/geek websites like Macrumors, etc.?

:: ducks ::

LOL

So? Some words like "Podcast" are adopted from popular culture. I still talk about Walkmans, not "Portable Audio Cassette Decks". Imagine how annoying that would be to say every time?
Apple should really reconsider their actions.

Good point there! I think Apple may in fact be more likely to not want anyone else to get control and 'bastardize' the use. I think it would be good for Apple to gain 'ownership' but not to exert the right that this might entail.

I was praying that the headline was "Apple to Introduce new dock connector."

The current dock connector SUCKS. It's way too hard to plug into, especially on the iPad 2, with it's tapered edge. It feels flimsy and I dread plugging anything into it for fear of breakage/bending of the pins.

I was really hoping that Apple would redesign it using MagSafe as their inspiration.

Wireless syncing is a lot easier and a lot less hassle. Charging the battery with an electrical outlet is the only time you need to plug your iPhone in anything, IMHO. I find syncing my iPhone to my computer to be a chore and I rarely do so because of this.

"Mummy, why is that man watching those naked people doing things to each other." :p


LMAO, Post of the Week� :D

Yea! And limit their new OS to about 20% of their users.

Not that I can back it up by any numbers, but I would assume that more than 20% of the Macs out there that can run Lion have a USB port ....

EDIT: well, I just saw that the original post was limiting to Thunderbold ... ok, we are not there yet with 100% thunderbolt

"how" doesnt really bother me, only "when"

very well said ... maybe they can make everyone happy by offering the choice between:
- download (MAS or whatever other means)
- USB stick
- DVD

I just think now is the time to think about the future and offer options according to that (along with being the DVD an optional accessory on new Macs). DVDs are just no longer needed for the masses.


so everyone can pick his/her favorite based on their needs and their future plans (I for sure will skip the DVD)

Fudzilla (http://www.fudzilla.com/content/view/19204/1) has their own thoughts as well. I can wait for a bundle to come out.

Hope this is a fake, as I absolutely loathe capacitive buttons on phones.

downloaded the update, my news feed won't populate. just get an error message. deleted it and reuploaded the previous release which didn't have any problems. i could care less about the places feature so i guess it doesn't matter.

OS X isn't much of a FreeBSD brethren, maybe user land but not much else.

I wish Apple would just build Mac OS X on top of FreeBSD kernel instead of the Mach/XNU frankenstein.

There are some real nice features in FreeBSD that would require a kernel re-write in Darwin. I'd love to have Jails, ZFS, capsicum, pf, and other tech available with aqua.

If thats out of the question at least port their server end software to FreeBSD. Final Cut Server, Xgrid, Xsan, Open Directory etc... wont see much use with out the Xserve.




Seeing as OS X is a FreeBSD brethren it's not hard to realize that while XServe is decommissioned that they are still designing, developing and testing future Server Hardware and the Data Center is a great testing ground amidst a huge swath of 3rd party hardware inside there.

The first time I read the title, I thought that Apple has made Soundbooth app. After re-reading it, I realized it was Adobe who made it :eek:

Photobooth, Soundbooth, dont they look familiar? ;)

How did they make a x86-only app for OS X? I though the only way app can be compiled for Intel OS X is use of UB format! Guess I was wrong...

Anyway, I dont need this SoundPooth, I'm happy with my Soundtrack Pro :D

i think we may see MB w/ MBP with shuffle and xserve. i level and pro level traffic at the apple store will sell llot of laptops, especially if their curent.

Please, please, please, please let them add Sandy Bridge to the MBA.

Runs smoothly with max resolution (1680x1050) and minimum details on my iMac:
iMac (late 2006), 20", C2D 2,16 GHz, 3 GB RAM, X1600 128 MB, 250 GB HDD, Mac OS X 10.6.3

LOL! Do you realize how silly you sound with these comments?

LOL 2, not only that. He knows something 108 million iphone users (Just learned) haven't figured out yet.

What a brainiac:-)

The vocals are completely missing highs and lows...

And I did not hear any auto-tuning... What gives?

I can't download it, the "Download Mac Client" is just gray. Is it becaus i live in Europe?

That must mean I'm not normal. :D

Same here, I do stuff on my MacBook Pro beyond the iPad's capabilities :eek:

My old Trek 930 mountain bike is one of the last Treks made in the US before they outsourced most of their production overseas. For a replacement I am looking into US-made bikes.

I have a Japanese car (made in Japan), my previous car was Japanese but made in the US.

I try to buy US-made when I can, and in particular I like to support local or regional products. But at the same time I don't feel guilty about buying foreign-made products. You don't have to be obsessive about "buying American" in order to make a help support domestic producers of goods.

also....do i have to turn on "Notifications" in the settings menu in order for facebook PN's to work?

Thanks!

I bought a Verizon iPad because I have an AT&T iPhone. I figured that if one doesn't work, the other will. I saw no need to get two devices on the same network.

But go ahead, explain to me why that's stupid, since I clearly don't get it and I'm ignorant. :rolleyes:

Is the data speed bad on your iPhone 4?

I know ATT drops more calls than Verizon but everyone thats tested both data plans (even professional reviewers like Walt Mossberg from AllthingsD) say that the ATT data plan is superior in every single way.

No one bitches about the ATT data plan, they just hate the dropped calls on every single call they make and I understand that people are angry about that.

But the iPad is not a phone and I'm certain most people buy Verizon iPads thinking that its better just because there are problems with ATT iPhone.

In the end you get half the 3G speed on Verizon and also won't be able to use the network in most parts of the world.

I wouldn't trade ATT for Verizon in terms of iPads.
