It stands to reason that people would drive less. So the projected mileage tax revenue wouldn't be what they say and the already in-place gasoline tax would be less useful because people are driving less. Privacy issues aside, this is a dumb idea. Politically speaking you're not going to win many hearts and minds by taxing the lower and middle classes like this.

It shouldn't be about winning political points, it should be doing whats right for our country. Either way a high gas tax is a win, we either get more money to fix our roads or we cut down on greenhouse gases. Its really a win/win.

And yes, some driving can be cut down, but not all of it. Plus a large chuck of driving is required, many people live in suburban areas and need to drive to work.

Pfft, this whole "iPad fad" is going to fade away now any day now. Right guys? ;)

ok, that confirm no iOS5 in June. The iPhone 5 is re-scheduled for september? Could it be?

i'll be getting more involved with this as soon as my electricity supplier has finally changed, should be a couple of weeks, my current love overcharging me for leaving things running 24/7.

At least you can change providers, at least where I live there is only one so I'm stuck with what I have to pay:(

i'll also try and sort out the software for my ps3, i barely use that so it'd prolly out do my computer looool
Powermac G5 dual 2.0Ghz teh Mac Pro is coming later this year hopefully :D

Ps3's are quite fast when it comes to folding so it may indeed outpace your G5 :p

I have set up another instance of the widget to monitor glencox, he'll be my next conquest, matter of hours. Just one more WU.

The code behind that arrow is the same as the arrow we saw pointing down after the 1 place drop for the team.

I'll check it out...
Still very strange though.

This is great contrast. Love the yellow. Even though it's a bit centered it works because of the curves and the lighting. My suggestion is to go ahead and black out the sky that's showing through. To me it makes it even stronger. I tried cropping it and I think it looks better at it's current size with the sky blacked out.

When I used a PC I used to use Cool Edit Pro, which then changed to Adobe Audition. So I'm delighted that they are creating a new product, particularly as I hate the only other real contender - Bias Peak.

I've been using Audacity, but it just not advanced enough sometimes.

Steve doesn't own the company,the stock holders do.

I think Steve would take issue with that statement.

And don't get me started on whether those poor soldiers are defending their country or providing protection for oil company 'activities'. Under any circumstances, they do deserve gear that 'works'.

I support veterans and families, they risk their lives and the government screws them over, but I cannot condone the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

I nearly threw up when I heard General Jay Garner triumphantly announcing, "Ladies and gentlemen, we're in the oil business," the day before he was replaced by a civilian administrator.

Huh?! I didn't think I got defensive over Android. I don't know how just stating Android was difficult to use translates to "I am defensive and fearful over Android".

I just stated Android was difficult to use. That's similar to saying I like eating icecream out of the box rather than taking my time putting it in a bowl or a cone and then eating it. See what I'm saying? Now, some people may like the latter way but I much prefer iPhone's navigation, iPhone browser, and the App Store to Android. That said, I do like a lot of the Android features, especially the notification bar that just amazed me.

You're doing it again, being all "fearful and defensive". ;) Stop proving the guy's point more.

Stolen goods or not, nevermind that - but $300 per kit? :eek:

Why not just buy a white case?

it seems a bit pricey, but if i read correctly, the front glass includes retina display and digitizer. so...

>White iPhone 4 Front Panel (Pre-Assembled)

>- Retina Display

>- Front Glass
>- Digitizer/Touch Panel

I could not agree with you more!

My current iPhone is my last! I disgusted with Apple's monopolist stranglehold on the product and apps. They have become total control freaks.

When this phone dies, it will NOT be replaced with another Apple product.

Well good luck with that and remember MS has complete control over your WinMo phone, Google has complete control over your Android phone and Palm er... whoever buys palm has complete control over your Web OS phone.

The best one in my opinion is the iLife one, and even that is stretching it a little. The nickname one is just weird with a stupid point. The virus one is horrible - it's as if they put the US ad through google translation. Very unnatural and irritating.

Apple should sue for $1 million, give him $2 million, then hire him.

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

It could be scrollable, but expose isn't scrollable so you're mixing metaphors. And it's not just about whether you can fit more than 9 apps - what if you're using bulky apps and can only keep 7 apps in memory at once (the iPad 1 had less memory, remember)? You're putting up invisible walls in your interface.

Little icons in the corner is one option, although in a way making the icon a sub-feature of the window implies that multiple windows could be associated with that icon, which isn't true. Even if you don't agree, it is just one alternative, and it would be presented along with all the other prototypes, and Apple apparently decided the multitasking pane was better. Expose isn't always an evolution.


The current implementation is also inconsistent in the UI department, in that the same action and will result in two different actions.

In some cases, a hold > jiggle > close will result in an app shutting down, and other times the same action set (hold > jiggle > close) will result in an app being deleted.

Are you arguing that the multitasking pane doesn't have clear differentiation from the home screen? I thought giving it a different texture, pushing the home screen up out of the way, and requiring a quick double-press to bring it up accomplished that.

I don't think apple would go 128gb now.. There launching cloud soon, which is the future.

How is "cloud" the future if bandwidth is still limited and not available everywhere? Cloud = server, This rebranding needs to stop.

I am thinner than Steve Jobs. How long do I have left?

What are people mainly using the Push for? I certainly wouldn't want to be updated every time one of my friends posts on Facebook... I know there are different settings - just wondering what kind of updates people use this for.

You don't get notified everytime one of your friends posts on Facebook. You get notified everytime someone posts something to you though.
