The national spirit of the past, which forged the industrial revolution and led to the largest empire ever seen, has long dissipated.
Funny how it comes and goes, right?

The next hardware upgrades as far as processing power are obvious. Economies of scale dictate they are going to use their latest processors across as many product lines as possible (the next iPhone and iPod Touch are as good as guaranteed to have an A5). I think a delay would more likely be attributed to iOS 5, particularly since it doesn't look like there will be a big iOS 5 unveiling at WWDC. I actually hope this is the case. It would indicate significant changes to iOS, and it needs it!
EDIT: As a side note, fingers crossed they bring Core Image support in this version. Graphics hardware is up to the task now.
I'm pretty sure we'll have a preview of iOS 5 at WWDC which would indicate a September release (in time with the iPhone 5).
After all, the tagline for the event is "Join us for a preview of the future of iOS and Mac OS X."

I'm under the spell of this little 11" siren as well.
She's just so cute, I want to cry.
Then I want to burn things.
At 16:9, she's a bit short, but her hyper-waif body seems to redeem almost anything.
All she needs is a brain transplant, and I believe Igor has dug one up that will do nicely; He's just taking forever!
After that, if she can pass my quiz, I'm taking her back to my dungeon to do terrible, terrible, wonderful things to her.

I'm sure they're real, who would take the time to make screenshots of such mundane features? These are all great additions mind you, but nothing there that is really going to sell the OS (of course I'm already sold on it, so who knows?)

Jobs doesn't deny the problem. He just said the facts are different than being reported and earlier acknowledged that how you hold it affects the signal. Learn to read, people.

If they do something like that, power to them- as long as they don't charge a ridiculous fee I'll probably subscribe if it offers something netflix doesn't....but I don't see me dropping netflix anytime soon. If they decide to try and shut-out netflix on their (apple's) platforms in order to promote their own product, I will definitely side with netflix. Netflix has been good to me and I'm pretty loyal.
*Edit*
Although, it might be really nice (at the beginning at least) as far as buffers and video quality go: My ISP is ****ing horrible about throttling Netflix, Youtube, Hulu, etc. I have an 8 down/2 up connection, and yet it takes me 10 minutes of buffering to watch a 5 minute 320p youtube clip? **** that. If they weren't the ONLY ISP available here in podunk, I would drop their ass.

Sounds ok, but I'm getting more/more turned off by any MS products. I'll upgrade to SP1 for Word/Excel. I'll continue to use Mail and iCal for Exchange access. Entourage and Outlook 2011 are bloated, and buggy [IMO], and not worth the problems.

And Steve Jobs is not a liar or crazy. He's a marketeer and a showman and will defend his Apple at all cost and will portrait his company as perfect and untouchable.
There is a fine fine FINE line.
Steve wrote to me (yes - I'm the one of the people he wrote to at the beginning) and told me it was a non issue. If it's a non issue - why the open letter? Why the press conference? Why the bad press?
During this whole scenario - Steve, while I don't disagree is a great marketeer, has been Apple's WORST enemy. He might be a genius. He might think he knows what customers want or need.
But - in regards to this ISSUE - he doesn't know how to communicate effectively or appropriately to his customers.

That's never going to come. Microsoft has moved away from WebDAV. It's not included in Exchange 2007/2010 if I'm correct. And the only reason Windows versions of Outlook still work is that they are using MAPI currently, which I believe Microsoft is also doing away with.
Awesome. I'm stuck with 2003. My work doesn't even have it under consideration for the next two years. I really don't like using Entourage, but it's the only program I can get to work correctly. I was actually going to get Office because Word and Excel need some new life, but I guess I'll be doing without Outlook.

Actually you do....otherwise you are just watching maps
Perhaps I worded that wrong.
You can turn the tracking service off and location based apps will still function. The data is just not logged.
It's used on demand and then dumped, not stored.
Any app that needs to know your location to provide you with location based data can do so without storing the data.
It's only when you have tracking services enabled that it stores the data.
And none of that data is sent to Google or the app developer unless you authorize it.

thats awesome news, thanks for that! i'll continue to take it to school, and if he tries to take it off me again, i'll be sure to explain the above points to him. its crazy how little trust the school IT guys have in their students, especially when we're clearly doing work on our computers.
I think pretty much all high school administrators are pretty much like that - though, if you look at it from their point of view, they'd want to avoid all possible trouble

They solved the case fast. Probably lots of informers working at Foxcon. Or, they have no clue and merely arrested three hapless expendable workers in order to scare the rest.
Any Foxcon story is a good story.

Let's call things what they are....
Sure, lots of people out there realized they could magically "become a student" at some area school in order to receive an Apple discount on some hardware. It's deceitful - but if the practice was actually costing Apple money, you'd have seen them auditing all edu. purchases long ago.
The fact is, the edu. discount has generated quite a few new Apple customers who probably wouldn't have purchased one otherwise. And even at the discounted prices, they're high enough that Apple's still making a profit on those sales. Just not as large of one as they think they can usually get from the general public for the products otherwise.
I personally know a guy, for example, who bought a quad G5 tower using an educational discount, even though he's been done with school for quite some time. He had to scrape and beg to get the cash together for that system, even at the edu. price - and it involved selling his other Windows PCs too. He was convinced by the "Mac faithful" that it was a "better way" to do things, and at the edu. price, it was just *barely* possible for him to get it.
What good would it do Apple to punish him and lose a new customer forever, vs. give him a couple hundred bucks discount on a $3000+ machine?
Oh come on .. Well know why this was done. Just go read the post about when it was released. I could see this coming a mile away. Either a they would do this or b they would start doing the audits they talk about with educational purchases. There must have been atleast 50 people who blatantly posted about abusing the discount on a "public forum" and hundreds maybe thousands more who thougt of it. Lets say I owned a store and I saw a forum online where 50 plus people said they knew a way to rip off my store, do you think I would leave it vulnerable? I dont know ... maybe this is the reason or maybe it isnt but I think ts great they did it. Because now all the people who thought they could do this and thought its no different from walking in a store and walking out with out paying for an item, will have to mow a few more lawns or bag a few more grocerys and pay what the rest of the honest people out there will. I know I know I am sounding uber negative here but not nearly as negative as someone trying to justify stealing on a "public forum".
