>> This brings me to a question about Bookends. Does it have support for multiple referencing/citation formats? Is Harvard one of them?
Bookends has about 250 pre-defined formats, and Harvard is listed as one of them. The good thing is that they can all be adapted as required, and this is not very hard to do.
There is a test version of Bookends that you can download and use for free (with a 50 reference limit) at www.sonnysoftware.com. Try it! And do not forget try to drag PDF documents into the main window and have Bookends look for all the citation data automatically (uses the DOI code, which is present in most publications published in the last decade or so).
PS I am not associated with Bookend in any way, just a satisfied user.

Whilst you're right that many of us would struggle picking out our favourite beer brands from a line up it would be easy to spot the one that doesn't actually taste of beer at all, namely Budweiser.

Fake?
Anyone else think it's a fake? I don't see how the front facing camera could possibly follow his head _way_ off to the side the way it does... but I could be wrong (don't have an iPad2 to see how wide angle the lens is)
Not fake. This has been demonstrated on the Wii and the DS. Very simple to do actually.

Then let me revise my statement and say this is why other media should attempt to independently verify their sources and then add a dash of common sense.
Gruber specifically explains that any confirmed info is in his actual posts.
Any guesses or unconfirmed news is in his footnotes.
People make a lot of guesses and this was a good guess I believe.

No, they want you to purchase Logic instead.
I've never understood why the iLife apps don't carry the same names and code base as the pro apps, just with an introduction level of features. So once someone gets hooked on one of the iLife Apps they can just move up the the chain.
I don't mean dumbing any of the them down, just that the iLife versions would start with the most understandable and commonly useful bit of the workflow of each app family. After all if they are rebuilding the core of each family for 64bit and other snow leopard and iOS goodness why not make it all build on itself to shorten the next part of the task.

Yep, and the funny thing is, even if you want to pretend 30% is an issue, fine! Charge 100% more for the iPad subscription. That should make up for it, no? I'd gladly pay it.
The 500% increase they're asking now is outrageous. (Wired is $10 for 12 issues through Amazon.)
And amazon is taking at least 30%, I would be shocked if the cut was that small.
It costs right around $1 per magazine to print, design and mail for very large circulations. Magazine not newspaper. Take out the printing and mailing and you're probably looking at about $.75 costs. Sell it for $.99 on the ITMS and Apple takes $.33 and they lose money. Magazines have very little wiggle room price wise.
BS, see above or join any large affiliate program that has accounts with major magazine publishers. Apple is about their cheapest avenue because they even process the payment for them.
WSJ pays 30% for each new subscriber you bring if you are on the CJ program. They pay MORE to higher volume affiliates. Almost all of the publishers are in the 25% to 35% range.
If they can't get all of their ads into the online version, that is a personal problem they should work out. The iPad readers are automatically the top of their Demo too, no reason any of their advertisers would purposefully shun them.

Apple support on a Motorolla device, not the other way around. At least to my knowledge, they didn't take that support away. I can't see Apple allowing users to continue to stream Netflix on ATV2 if they introduce a service that directly competes.
Maybe you're right, though. I won't be a happy camper though... Take away Netflix and my ATV2 is an overpriced movie trailer player.
if Apple were to build ther own TV, They wouldnt build an ungodly amount at first, would they. wouldnt they test the waters a bit. With the better content and a subscription not too much higher than NETFLIX, I think they would have a monster.

No teacher has ever had a problem, and the same person who confiscated the MBA has seen me using it multiple times without issue.
no problem with the teacher, then WHY??? :mad:
There is no policy that restricts the use of personal laptops, although phones are banned. In fact, most of my teachers reccomend and encourage to use of our laptops because they are much better and have better software.
Call your lawyer lol.. :p
It seems to me that he was just very jealous about the fact he is too low paid to afford a mac and felt the need to try and confiscate it.
you're right :o, some people are jealous with people who can afford that they can't afford..

This is a very decent idea and says AT&T is getting ready to address patchy coverage.
Lets hope they take a transparent approach, share what they learn, and most importantly implement fixes quickly. Boosting coverage or other similar cell fixes these days can be almost plug and play so a fast response to logged faults would signal that they're worthy of our business.

Is this a typical url for apple.

Yes, that's totally normal for Apple. They had a decent-sized investment in that company (Akamai) at one time.

But then I'd have to use Mail.
There are programs out there that can integrate at least three of these on a Mac, using the internal databases. I like the fact that I don't have to use one program for everything; it usually means a program that doesn't do any as well, and it limits what you can to to what that program offers. With them as seperate componets, I can use only iCal, or only Mail, or only AddressBook, depending on what I need. And since the database is open to other apps, I can get a different address book or whatever if I need it.
I don't see Apples apps as supposed to be the best in catagory. They are supposed to be enough for a casual user. If you want more, you can get programs that allow more. Being seperate is better for this, because if you are a casual user of one but a heavy user of another you can just get a better program for the one you are a heavy user of. (For instance, I'm a heavy user of email, so I have Mulberry. It integrates with Address Book, of which I'm a very light user. And I nearly don't use iCal at all, but I use it just enough to appreciate that it is there. Integrating the three would actually make them less useful to me, because I'd be tied to using them togther, and that's not how I use them.)
Use Outlook, if that's the best program for you. That's fine. Some people don't need that much, but appreciate having the ablity to use some of it on occasion.
Very well said.
I have tried many alternatives out there. Some good ideas exist for sure. But I always come back to the Apple stuff. I like the simplicity of iCal, Addressbook and Mail, and the way they work together. I expect I will like them even more with the new features that will surely occur with Leopard.

Phil Schiller is such a bad presenter.
One other thought:
I absolutely agree that Phil was simply terrible. He was the only one on stage who needed to constantly look at the video prompts to get through his slides.
Sure, he had more technical slides to get through, but this is an Apple keynote. Memorize the slides Phil.
I am sure Phil is a great guy with lots of talent. But his attempts at emotion and energy just fell flat. Too many superficial superlatives, IMHO.
Phil needs a lot of coaching by a pro and more practice. Sure, Steve has done these for 20+ years, so it's not fair to compare the two. Nevertheless, Phil really needs to kick it up a notch. He needs to be more charismatic and more himself. Don't try to be Steve.

Price & Size. The base 11" is perfect; in that it fits in my iPad bag along with AC Adapter so I only need to carry 1 small bag when traveling. Any other time I use the iMac in either office. It also plays Starcraft ok so I can play when I'm away. The small disk (SSD) and RAM were concerns but thus far have not been an issue.

The page-curl looks dumb to me. I organise all my photos within the finder, pasting sample pictures onto folder icons, etc, to create a visual representation of the photos/folders/files inside. For me, it's a great way of organising thousands of photos across a few dozen main folders.
Apple killed the beauty of this method with 10.4.4, when JPEG icons started to be rendered as ugly pixellated images with black borders. As far as I can tell this problem has not been addressed. So, I'm still running 10.4.3. If this page-curl materialises, and I have to use it, it will piss me off no end. It is completely pointless.
What they really need to do in Leopard is revolutionise the finder. The current version is slow, disorganised, unpredictable, and confusing.
Or better still, bring back a Aqua-skinned version of the visual Finder of OS 9: The visual navigation through nested folders is what got me hooked on the Mac!

I thought of this as well, the problem I see, it would work great if you wanted to call someone, but what if they wanted to call you. I guess voice mail, but ew.
P6
I assume it would have an addition of a Skype/Gizmo Project style "in" number. So that way they do have the ability to call you when your mobile is on. Otherwise, yeah, it wouldn't be as nice an item...

How do you reconcile you claim of valuing personal freedom while at the same time supporting a law that punishes people simply over what they wear and no other statutory transgression?
But there is a statutory transgression. It is now illegal in France to go about in public dressed like chattel.
France is attempting to preserve their culture against corrupting outside influence. I don't have any problem with that.

... there's certainly great variety of beers out there including one I read about just recently that has a 40% rating, cost more than $200 for 1 stubby and comes in a special package. Apparently it doesn't taste all that nice but after a couple of those I doubt you'd notice the taste or how much lighter your wallet had become! :eek:
Have a look at Brew Dog (http://www.brewdog.com). One of their beers, Tactical Nuclear Penguin comes in at 32% ABV. Very expensive to buy. Nothing more than a publicity stunt, really. They release a beer, put something controversial on the label, questions get asked in Parliament and bingo!, loads of free publicity and street cred.
Rather have a nice bottle of single malt meself.:p
Oh, just had a look at their site and they've had to release a 41% ABV entitled "Sink The Bismark" in order to combat a 40 percenter from Germany.

Ok, see that is where I was going with posting this article. I was wondering if it were even possible to hold on to a windshield wiper blade for that length of time? I mean, wouldn't pressure or force or something cause the blade to snap? They just don't seem that strong.
Climb onto the front of a minivan and get someone to drive it at 30mph: I suspect you will find the aerodynamic pressure quite impressive. The keyword here is "minivan". Those usually have rather more vertical noses than your typical automobile, so the air pressure will tend to pin you onto the front.
