I already knew there was going to be no iPad 3 this year. Steve Jobs even said there was going to be no iPad 3 through this statement... "2011 is the Year of the iPad 2."

agreed. lot's of "i'm going to be mad if they do this" and "how could they change the thing i don't know if they changed or not" followed by some "it's imovie+ because the interface looks similar".
Easier =/ worse or "non pro". Most editors want to get to the job of editing. They have no concern about being displaced by "skater dudes" and couldn't care less who has access to the software. Buying software doesn't make you a good editor or anything for that matter.

I am just curious as to how the roadmap for future iteration of iPhone will go.
If iPhone 5 is late-September early-October, does it mean iPhone 6 will be the same time in 2012, or skip to Summer 2013?

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.

it's a pretty big assumption to assume that a student is 'hacking the network' because he's on a laptop.
So hack it from a terminal, show him up... XP
Ok DONT, but his logic is probably that if you hack from a terminal i'm guessing that they can track it a lot easier, hack from a laptop and it could be anyone right? I don't know, i may have watched too many NCIS and spy shows...
But basically if you bring in "hacking software" software on a laptop it'd be just as easy to bring it on a memory stick :rolleyes: and i don't know about your school, but i know mine didn't really have a great rep for being secure :p
I did bring in my laptop once and a while, but being almost the only one in the school bringing a laptop, and having it be a shinny white mac kind of puts a target on your back for anyone that wants to ******* with you.
BOTTOM LINE: Imo just don't bring your laptop unless you can actually see the policy, it might not be a school policy, he might just be an ass hole, but don't screw with him.

This isn't going to be a 'live stream'. Even the text says 'live-on-demand stream'. on-demand means you can watch it whenever you want. This is a stub for them to put the finished stream on once it's over.
Who found this link? It's not anywhere on the http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/appleevents/ page. So most likely someone ran into this link by mistake or was fed it by an insider, but it's not going to go live probably for at least an hour after the event is over.
That's my guess anyway, I could be wrong, but it doesn't feel like this link is going to work for a while.

Macs are now essentially well-thought-out PCs so hardware interaction will become less and less of an issue in the future. As long as Apple maintains sufficient market share to entice mainstream product manufacturers to write drivers, I see nothing wrong in being the top 5%. :D

Great post. Just one thing (or maybe 2?)
I never said I didn't like what Apple has done or that the technology isn't great.
What I was stating is that Apple, along with other companies contribute to the dumbing down of society. And then put themselves in a position to speak down to you (ie today's quote by Steve Jobs) about educating the customer.
I don't pretend to have all the answers. One of my majors was in Speech Communications. There's a lot of validity to professionals using language to subjugate and/or exclude other members of society in conversation. The language doctors, lawyers, auto mechanics, you name it all have their own vocabulary which excludes the average person. This also adds "mystique" and credence to the information they state.
So when I say that Apple and other companies are contributing to the dumbing down of society - I say that without prejudice or judgment - but merely a statement of fact. And pretty incontrovertible at that.
Okay, so how would you tell the average person to check their carburetor without "excluding the average person?"
Yes, there's plenty of examples of language usage designed to add mystique. Heck, one popularly misunderstood one in tech circles is the word "free" since "free" to the average person is different than "free" to the FSF/GNU crowd.
Heck, your opinion that Apple "contributes to the dumbing down of society" is an example of talking down against what people do. I personally don't see them as "dumbing down society", since I see that society was dumb to begin with. Apple doesn't make us any dumber, because if Apple didn't make the devices easy to use, people probably wouldn't use the devices anyways. They wern't going to be "smarter" without it.
Likewise, all are welcome to see both our wordings as language manipulation.
Sometimes the language gap is unavoidable because for some given unique thing, there's just no reasonable alternative. The average person simply does not need to know what a carburetor is, does not want to know what a carburetor is, nor would even care to remember what a carburetor is if you took the time to explain it to them in clear words.
Likewise, I'm fairly sure many of you here would care all that much if I or somebody else busted out a lecture on the Tomasulo algorithm despite all of us using it every day.
I'm all for education, but I understand that sometimes people just want to use the device, not know about how it works. Giving people the tools to do what they want lets them choose what they do next, hopefully that is to learn about something they do actually care about.

That guy was so stupid. He blended like 3 iPhones, iPad, some iPods. He wasted a grand already. Better use the money to improve his business or something IMO.
Yeah his business is really struggling since many big chains like Starbucks use Blendtec blenders.

I really dislike this view. If you move to a country you should conform to their laws but not necessarily to the culture. Tourists should experience our culture (that's half the reason I love going on holiday) but it shouldn't be forced!
I don't like the idea of Islamic women wearing a veil, but it shouldn't be banned totally. Maybe restricted for security reasons (eg in airports) and maybe in schools so children can interact with their teacher better but not banned in public full stop. I do like the French law that says anyone who forces someone else to cover themselves should be prosecuted.
I don't mind if people move to the UK and don't learn English or live in a different way to me. It can be great to have other cultures around- just look at what it has done to English food (no longer meat + 2 veg like 50 years ago).
All I ask is that people contribute to UK society, they don't have to contribute to my specific culture.
hm i dislike that view so you think its alright too if a women from the UK is visiting Iran and walks around wearing a mini skirt :confused:
and as i am a "immigrant" as i am German ,but i speak english as i live in the UK , not because i would be forced to , but it makes communicating with the English Scots and Welch easier and for me thats common sense , ok i speak a little french , spanish , italien too , just because i sometimes go in these countries for holiday , and as i have traveled when i was younger around the whole Mediterranean sea i speak some arab too ,as its widely understood in islamic countries , ok none of those to a high degree , but still enough to communicate and i did not learn to speak those languages because i would have been forced to , but it makes life easier if i speak the language of the country i am visiting ,i get easier in contact with the people and their culture too , and for me that's the prime reason to visit another country , and i respect their culture and would not wear shorts and t-shirt in counties where its not custom to do so , even i come from a country where its normal to wear shorts and t-shirt
for example of customs or cultures in europe , we have a lot of nudist beaches in Germany , but i would not walk on Dover beach naked and argue i am allowed to because i am German and its part of my culture , but i could for example go shopping wearing absolutely no cloth at all in the city of Le Cap d'Agde in France as there the whole town is is an entirely clothing-optional city (population 40,000)
and if people dont use common sense then you need laws to enforce things that are not acceptable in certain countries , just because they are acceptable in others does not make it right

I am loving the added competition in the video streaming space.
Makes people like Comcast and TimeWarner squirm. The Post-TV days are here, just like the Post-CD, Post-Newspaper and Post-Magazine before. All we needed was mature encoding, and enough bandwidth.
Apple needs to do this to continue growing as a media distribution king; they're tiny in all areas except music right now.
The consumer will win, not from Apple's "rock bottom" pro-sumer pricing ;), but because the competition will drive costs down and bring more content into the mix.

Has anyone else noticed that Test Match Special on Radio 4 can occasionally be the most innuedo-laden, smuttily, smirk-worthy show on UK daytime radio?
Or is that just me?
Given that it features faceless radio presenters, old farts and ex-sportsmen, I'd say you're probably right :)

I believe, for a server, it offers much more. I think it has redundant power supplies, lights-out operation and includes Mac OS X server. Since you obviously don't need those things (since you see no value in them) I don't know why you would want one.
Keep in mind, other than OS X server, things like that redundant power supply are cost extra options.
For someone like me, I was thinking of purchasing 2 of these things, however, cost really is a factor for me here. My primary application is a render node for computer graphics. Problem is, for the price the XServe costs with 2GB memory and a 2.66GHz dual processor system, I can get a Boxx render node system with the a 3.0GHz configuration and OpenSUSE 10.1 for for less. As much as I would like this system, I'll have to pass for now until I am ready to put together a SAN.
EDIT: Heck, for the configuration I really want, it is over $1000 more for the XServe as opposed to the Boxx rendernode.

Okay, so when do people want to meet up? Do we want to do a drinks and dinner outing, or just drinks, or something even less formal?
I'm up for something any evening except possibly Wednesday. I can probably make it then in a pinch, but I'd have to cancel another commitment.
Location? Meet up at Moscone and move on from there? Meet at a restaurant? There are a number of restaurants within just a block or two...there's the Metreon's upscale food court, Thirsty Bear (tapas and good microbrews), Buca di Beppo (family-style Italian), Chevy's (Mexican, er, American chain restaurant Mexican, but I like it just fine)...I'm sure there are some other options that I'm missing off the top of my head, so feel free to suggest others. Things will obviously be busy in the area due to MW, so we may to have to plan ahead with reservations of some sort if we're going to dinner...ballpark numbers probably okay, but we'll need something.
What's good for you folks?

Guess this is just more evidence that vindicates her 'retirement'.
Are you as old as Helen? Have you seen that she has seen?
Just because she speaks of Jewish influence in Washington, does not automatically make her anti-Semitic. Sorry to burst your self-created bubble.
There can be no question that undue influence (given the weight of Jewish voters) has been going on for years.

Moreover, while the rudimentary mechanical controls typically provide tactile cues (clicks), the more advanced touch sensing devices do not. As such, the user does not know when the device has produced a touch input. In some cases, a simple decal is provided over the touch pad to indicate the location of dedicated touch controls.
http://hrmpf.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/picture-5.png
Look at 610A. It's a mouse pad with two buttons. I'd say, one physical button, but touch sensitive so it knows which side was pressed.
So it's cool, I'm guessing it's really a lot of mumbo-jumbo to hide their new laptop mouse button.
Remember, if they can run XP now, they need two mouse buttons. plus, for people who only like one button, it's still just one button.
