Target has joined Wal-Mart (http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=internetNews&storyID=2006-10-09T181443Z_01_N09273960_RTRUKOC_0_US-RETAIL-TARGET-LETTER.xml&WTmodLoc=InternetNewsHome_C2_internetNews-2) in cautioning major movie studies that digital movies could hurt retail DVD sales.

Target's letter from President Gregg Steinhafel noted that movie studio downloads were less expensive than DVDs, according to the newspaper. The letter also said that if the pricing did not become more equitable, Target would reconsider its investment in the DVD business, the paper said.

Wal-Mart was recently cited (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/09/20060922134714.shtml) as warning Movie Studios that there could be consequences if more movie studies joined in digital movie distribution alongside Disney.

Disney's Present of Home Entertainment has reportedly met with Target executives to stress that digital distribution remains a small market.

Especially the green sorry 'Aqua Blue' version.

I thought it was Teal... ;)

Does anyone know? :eek:

Yeah this is a deal. I just called our local store and the guy said they're out of 16gbs nationally. Considering a 32...

Can't find an iPad 2 for AT&T, but bunch of VZ on the shelves in California...:p

well obviously the stock levels at your local Apple store are a far better indicator than a national survey

I thought of this idea a couple of years ago. glad to see it taking shape for apple. think about it. zero heat cpus and ultra-long battery life.

The one thing I would like to see in Word is a reference database and auto-format for citations so I can switch to APA or MLA style as needed. My grad school professors each have their own ideas about proper style.
.

I couldn't agree more. There has to be a way to implement this. Though, getting the approval from APA, and MLA might be a problem. They want to sell their manuals, and this could, conceivably, cut into their sales.

I do wish people in this forum stop referring to 'the military' as though they were some sort of alien life-forms. 'The military' are people, and even if you happen to be in the oh-so-unique moral high ground of opposing war and violence from your comfortable desk, soldiers deserve the best kit we can afford to give them. Ditto for the returning veterans. And their families.

Well said. Thank you. I agree 100%.

I got 9A2439 from my University's seeding server, while the one released to devs at WWDC was 9A2441... but nevertheless this updated to 9A2441e.

Upon rebooting I noticed everything was a bit snappier and some minor bugs were fixed. 10.5 is running really speedy... damn near 10.4 or dare I say... faster?

Coming from Office 2007 on my Windows 7 desktop, I can say that Office 2011 for Mac is amazing. That said, during my transition period, I absolutely needed a spreadsheet application to edit an Excel file for work. Unfortunately, I wasted $20 in the Mac App Store on Numbers, a program I used for a total of about 30 minutes before deciding that Office 2011 was for me.
Just my two pennies

You forgot one thing. I added it for you. You're welcome.

I love how so many here talk about needed cuts, but never talk about needing to raise taxes. :rolleyes:


Agreed. I also find it absurd that people think we can solve this now as opposed to over time. It took at least 8 years to get where we are, we can't fix it on one.

The Army is already using iPod Touches in the field. Put one in an Otterbox case and it's ruggedized.

And here's something from our very own MacWorld:

There's a lot of waste in government, military or not. If the military can save money buying COTS solutions, we should all be happy.

And to those who keep trying to throw the discussion off-track, please keep the political cr@p off of here. There are plenty of other places where you can argue the good and bad of military/government/reality TV/etc. Personally, I think we should send the military after the Reality TV producers and contestants, but this isn't the forum for that :D

I sure hope this hasn't ruined davidjearly's christmas (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8423340.stm).

I find that song crass and rude.
But X Factor songs are so cheesy and naff as well.
I prefer the Clash.

Wow, just like in America!

That's what you get for voting the Democrats in!

Too bad I can't find a store that has an iPad 2, due to all of the Asians buying them up every morning and exporting them (do they have an export license? I think not). I've been told the local foreign college students can send them back to their parents in China or Vietnam who then sell them for a $1000 profit.

You ain't kidding. I drive by an Apple Store every morning for work, and there are always the same three Asian college - age students waiting outside 3 hours before opening. I assume they're there everyday hoping a new shipment came in overnight. I'm in the wrong line of work.

I don't care to argue about the effectiveness of the adds. But I will say that the Angel/Devil one was kinda stupid. It didn't even advertise Macs. I think I am tiring of the format of the commercials. I would like to see one show just what can be done with OS X.

I just bought a new Ford Escape last month. Built in Kansas City, MO with 90% domestic parts content by a U.S. company. You can't get much more made in the U.S.A. then that.

The only modern electronics product I own that was "Assembled in the U.S.A." is a Bose Wave Music System.

Random yet related question:

What do people recommend using to record basic voiceovers in iMovie and FCExpress? My high school students currently use ProTools and Mbox and it's just way too complicated to record a simple voiceover.

How about using itself FCExpress? I make TV material with FCPro and can record VOs directly and I think FCExpress is pretty similar in most areas. Correct me if I am wrong ...

You don't need to spend 3,000 to get an extremely fast mac right now try 1,600-1,700.

But for 1,600-1,700 dollars I can get a hell of a lot faster PC. Nobody can deny that.

Just because their demeanor is civil does not mean their exchange is.

STEVE: Do you have any idea how badly I wanna kill you?
ERIC: Yes.


Steve: See this hands? I could kill you with my bare hands right here!!!
Eric: uh huh..

So if there are no further objections by next weekend can we begin?

Amazing, and then what? Maybe use it twice in your machine's life?

ThunderBolt enables faster read rates than a DVD. That's why.

when writing a post scroll down and there is a 'manage attachments' button click and upload! cheers!

What I learned today: Mac users are hipster douches who think they are tech savvy, but still too dumb to run Windows.
