That speaks to the point these researchers are making. They used the Nike+iPod Sport Kit as their example, but their message is that all sorts of gadgets with wireless communications capabilities can have these types of problems, especially if thought isn't give to the issue during design.
Doesn't matter, if you are going to go around planting sensors and planting a transmitter in someone's backpack, there are alot easier and possibly even cheaper ways. No one in their right mind would do this other than to prove its possible.
Last i heard someone could track me when I walk down the street too

Anti-Semitism is generally quite swiftly and harshly dealt with in this country (and rightly so). It's a shame such an attitude towards prejudice is not more evenly applied when it comes to other groups.
I think Israel deserves quite a lot of criticism, as does the pro-Israeli lobby. Criticism of these two entities is not tantamount to anti-Semitism. Also, much what Thomas says echoes sentiments being expressed accross the Middle East on a daily basis. She is Lebanese, and Israel's track record with Lebanon is pretty shameful. Right or wrong, this stuff is not necessarily coming out of the blue. With that being said, some of Thomas' statements and language came across as very reckless at best.

$150 is steep. This reveal is also surprising - I thought they weren't gonna disclose their pricing plans until fall? :confused:

No doubt this will be usa only...
... no wonder Apple has such a bad market share around the world, less than 45% of its market is from non usa countries. Thats pretty bad.

This Western male says:
Suit 'n tie? "No thanks."
I believe ties are a carry-over from the 'old school tie' days, that the Brits gave us colonialists. Just a symbol of any given school snubbing their nose at another.
Damn inconvenient though, especially in the Summer.

So that's probably around �120-130.
If it is, ouch. The specs are quite unimpressive too; the camera only runs at 640x480 30fps.

Apple's attitude about this stuf has always been very positive. I'm totally willing to believe that all this stuff was an oversight since believing that matches what they've said in the past.

Angry much? Sending a submission takes all of 10 seconds. If you choose not to, then you are no worse off than you are now.
I see you are on Long Island, where your attitude runs rampant (lived there for years so I can speak to it). I'm sure others will gladly submit on your behalf. By the way, my 3G service on Long Island was excellent, so I'm assuming you are in Nassau county?
Clearly you are missing the point, why should I have to do AT&T's work for them?
Generalization much?

I'm excited Steve is on board for this book. I just hope it isn't because he is dying and wants to approve of his own book before he dies.
I really do hope that this biography by Isaacson doesn't end up being Jobs' epitaph, too. :(
Jobs' amazing vision changed the way computers were designed and pioneered the graphical user interface for home computers, totally changed the music industry, totally changed the cellphone industry and now becomes the first company to make a viable tablet computer (one wonders what would Alan Kay--who created the Dynabook concept--would say about the iPad).

Yes but if you enter an appointment in iCal then the system could cache the required data before you leave wifi range. Most your adhoc travel is going to be your home city right. So it could have a cache of your home city in high detail in a couple of hundred Meg right?
United Kingdom + Ireland on TomTom is 166 MB. Complete USA is 770 MB, complete Europe about 1000 MB. Maps are a lot smaller than you seem to think.

Your argument would be valid for the G4, but doesn't really hold much water considering that G5s were the PowerPC equivalent to a Pentium 4 - they have 16 stage integer pipelines and can go as many as 25 stages depending on the instruction.
OTOH, they could hold twice as many simultaneous instructions as a P4 could.

My wife and I adore our two MBA 11" 4Gb Ram 64 SSD refurbs, both are awaiting install of a 360 OWC SSD in each, then they will become our main machines:eek:, Mine will share duty with my 1st gen iPad, and hers will share duties with the iPad 2. We so love the size and weight of our iPads, we chose to downsize to the 11"MBA as well.

... they are corporate savages who are willing to strike down any human being that gets in their way to make a buck.
The corporate savages also employ 50,000 people and have enabled 100s of app developers use their forum to create new ideas that employ more people. Same goes for Foxconn, who without Apple's contract, would not have the resources to hire the thousands of Chinese people to give them even the meager salaries they do receive.
Shame it's so cost prohibitive to hire people in America to do the job. Could have avoided the whole situation.

I can't see where it says she 'jumps' on the windscreen like you are all saying.
"She kind of goes with the van to try to stop him, gets up on the hood and is hanging on to the wiper blade," said police spokesman Rex Osborn.
'Gets up on the hood' covers a variety of events. It could be that she stood arguing with him in the car park, and then he suddenly drove at her, and she couldn't get out of the way fast enough, and ended up on the hood.
'Hanging onto the wiper blade' implies that getting up on the hood was not an entirely voluntary act. It could be. Might not be. As Skunk says, we don't know.

I swear to God, I hope iDVD isn't gone completely but more integrated into iMovie or something along those lines. iDVD is one of my favorite applications in the iLife suite. :mad:
The 64-bit rewrite thing is pretty awesome though. Hopefully iTunes will be a part of that (doubt it though).
Agreed. The transition to 64-bit is long overdue and iDVD is a great application.

erg not really. you do only have 2 holes in your head as you say, but your hearing is more advanced than that. your brain always factors in all the other elements, like your head position, so your brain notices and calculates the volumes of incoming sounds, so you can distinguish where things are in relation to you. obviously, your brain can't do that with headphones.
No reproduction system is perfect in all environments. When your brain translates a sound, it positions it relative to your head-- a sound in front of you will sound like it's coming from the right if your head is turned left. This is why you tend to look at something before you can react to it. If you have more time to react, your brain will probably work it out correctly.
As you say, headphones alone can't track head movement so the environment will appear to rotate with your head. If you're trying to simulate a fixed environment, or coordinate with an immersive display, then you'll need to deal with this somehow. They have the advantage, however, of being able to collapse the combined impact of a sound field into two point sources directly at the sensors (your ear canals).
Headphones have the additional complication that we position sound vertically by the filter effect of the fleshy parts of our ears-- which are different for every individual. Most systems use a generalized filter to approximate an average ear, whatever that means.
Open air speakers are trying to reproduce a sound field from a small number of point sources and can only produce the desired effect on one location in space, and the listener has to remain there. They also suffer from channel cross talk and reflections from walls and objects in the reproduction sound space that aren't intended to be in the simulated sound space. The Dolby home theater type systems are essentially two dimensional in the plain of the ceiling and floor, which causes problems if you're trying to get 3D sound, or sound indicating the vertical alignment of a computer display.
For positioning screen effects, headphones will probably win since they don't have to compensate for the environment and the user is almost certainly looking at the display fixed in front of them. Since the simulation environment is essentially two dimensional (the display), you might also get away with fixed speakers positioned around the display and ignore the cross talk and reflections. In either case, you'd also have to assume a distance from the display to the user and assume the user is centered.
Nothing simple is going to work in all cases...

Things like this make me think that the current version of the Suite will be support alongside FCP X for a time.
That would certainly be nice...
As long as Color (or at least its functionality) is still around and I can continue to freelance with it, I'll be open to the idea of updating. I'm actually in the early stages of setting up a long-form doc. Hopefully more info will roll out soon, so I can decide on whether to do it in FCPx.

A WEEK iPhone battery life? Even if you cripple the phone by disabling features, there's still no way it would last even close to a week unless it's in sleep mode the entire time
Sure it can, as long as you don't make or receive any calls, play games, stream music, or surf the web.
