Lol @ the car thing.
It's not in a parking lot. There are no parking lots where cars park like that, how the hell could you get away ? Open air parking lots are also pretty rare here... Especially in the city.
Second thing: he's idleing. Third, it's just a friggin traffic jam. Most people here drive manual cars so we're not on our brakes the whole time. We just flip it in neutral.
I'd bet a �1000 euros that he's on the R1 (ring around Antwerp) or maybe the Singel (inner ring) just standing still in traffic.
What's the big deal with taking a quick picture while doing 0km/h in a traffic jam??
Oh and I can't say that I like the white version, but it'll sell by the boatload.

I love Office 2011 for Mac (Word especially). The only problem with it for me (so far) is on Outlook I can't open New Email Messages. I use Chrome for my Gmail, so I don't care. If this update fixes this issue, I'll give Outlook a shot. It's okay on my work PC.

If Leopard is released before Vist I won;\'t go near it with a 20 meter cattle prod and even if they gave it away for free. Leopard released that soon would scream revenge of the Tiger launch. Honestly a january lauch of eather Vista or Leopard doesn't serve anyone. For windows they missed the lucrative holiday sales rush and only the after x-mas bargan shoppers are looking to buy in ist quarter. For Apple school sales won't begin for months.
All that a January Leopard launch would prove would be the immaturity of the people running Apple. e.g. Its better to ship an OS that probably has a ton of bugs in it to be able to thumb our collective noses at MS then ship a solid product. IMHO I'm REALLY hoping for a WWDC launch of Leopard.
If Apple releases Leopard before March, it will likely be a mistake. How about version 10.5.-3?

This will be a good way to boost sales until the iPhone 5 comes out. Clever, Apple, clever.

It better get released in Europe with little gap between the US.
I'd like a new phone, and one made by Apple is a definite yes.
Though with all this great stuff coming, I'll be broke :P

Are there any rumours about new features for iLife 07?
Yes. there will be a new app. iWhine. Apple have taken an idea from MyDreamApp (the one which reads forums on your desktop) and made an app that POSTS to forums in Cocoalicious beauty. And, being apple, you KNOW it will be ultra classy whining, not this "i hate xyz product, why dont they have abc product, i know like a gazillion people who would buy one" *****e.

I mean, how much slower is the dual core 2.3 versus the Quad?
Less than 50% the performance, not that hard to figure out. :p :D
Single threaded performance is almost the same (2.3 vs. 2.5), the Quad shows its performance in multithreaded apps, though.
However, even though you might not necessarily run applications that can fully utilise all 4 available cores, I believe that the Quad will do better even in everyday tasks.
The jump from 2 to 4 cores is definitely noticeable as most people run a lot of apps simultaneously and the 2 additional cores distribute the load.
A single G5 core gets loaded pretty quick (web browses can easily max out a core, which doesn't leave much room for additional tasks).
I see your point, though. The LCS is kind of a deal breaker if you're not too tech savvy and can't replace the pumps/hoses.

I really want iDVD to stick around (just like I'd like DVD studio Pro to get some more lovin') but I wonder if Apple may be making a general interactive export app.
Basically, an application that can not only export to DVD, but also an intractive Quicktime file, or a small self contained mac/iOS app, or (to iWeb (HTML5/CSS3/Javascript)
I don't know, I doubt that would happen but it would still be pretty awesome.
+1 QT 7 Pro (hopefully Quicktime X will get there someday)
That app already exists, it's called Encore and it's from Adobe. Export as flash or DVD or Blu-Ray, etc. And yes, Apple should make a uniform multimedia app that destroys it. It's my only guess as to why they've let all their multimedia languish like DVDSP. Why bother when you're working on a DVDSP killer, right?

Love the new design. My only complaint is that it is not really convenient as a flash drive any more since you have to carry around the dock with you.
Agreed, and I know most people don't, but I would have liked a FM tuner built in.

I like the part of the law that gives fines, and I think jail time to anyone forcing a woman to wear one, but if someone actually wants to wear a veil they should be allowed to do it.

This was exactly what I was thinking! But I did it anyway. 93 deg. F to 114 deg. F.
With all due respect, isn't that a firmware DOWNGRADE?

How about polycarbonate? Slick and hellishly durable.
I hope that is sarcasm.
My black macbook was less durable than my pre-unibody MBP. Not only did it crack at the palm rest as per the design flaw it had cracked a few places. Nothing bad enough to make it call apart but it looked nasty.
That reminds me, I need to change my sig.

Awww I'm getting a MacBook on the 21st of January, what if iLife 07 is announced on the 22nd ? :(
They'll likely slip an extra disc in the package and you'll install iLife '07 separately.

You don't need a "game room" or even a "large living room". That's just the commercial. Sometimes ppl can set this up in the basement, or empty garage, or even backyard at night...not sure about overcast. Granted many ppl clutter their available spaces with "coffee tables" and such, but unless you are like really shortsighted and have an immense lack of imagination, or just live in a cramped apartment, you should be able to move things arround to make room, if even temporary. Nothing wrong with being "poor" or simply liking small residences. But as with anything, it suits certain ppl's environment, and not so much others. No need to knock a product that other's are able to get enjoyment out of it (along with the global organization that created it) just because it doesn't work for your environment.
I'm assuming you're American.
Large parts of the world don't have huge houses, simply due to the fact there is much less land available. Houses are far more expensive, and smaller, in Europe and parts of Aisa (such as Japan), and as such in these environments Kinect simply struggles. People don't live in small houses because they're poor, thank you very much.
It's not a matter of "moving a coffee table" - even when one isn't there, you probably have to move a sofa to try and get the minimum playing space. In the UK, Victorian-era terrace houses are long and narrow which simply doesn't allow for Kinect to fit, ditto for city apartments. Houses here don't have basements, and funnily enough, garages are for cars if you're lucky enough to have one.
I know six people who have bought Kinect. Five of them have had to return the units as they simply cannot find the space, no matter the tricks they try. The sixth is lucky to have a larger than normal living room, and never bought a coffee table. When a product is hitting that level of returns due to what is inherently a design flaw, it's not a good thing. Microsoft should have realised that not everybody is living in a huge house, and that outside of the US smaller houses are the norm, and that Kinect would struggle in these territories.

Most people who buy Macs are somewhat creative. With a Celeron processor, you can't be very creative...
I don't know why the Celeron keeps coming up. I and others think it's quite likely Apple could drop the price on the current Core Solo $599 unit to $499 based on the reduction of costs of the CPU, chipset and other components, now that they are 6 months old... In fact they might even be able to use a faster Core Solo processor at the same time. If the prices haven't dropped yet they will soon, real soon. Merom is just around the corner...
Was the eMac ever available for everyone?
Yes, it was even available retail at places like CompUSA.
