Damn. Exactly what I was going to say... down to the letter. So I shall repeat with different words to those listening:
Apple makes pennies on the iTMusicS (the story might be different for shows and games). Some people want to own an iPod, but don't want to pay iTS store prices or use their $0.99/song, end of story, model. Solution: buy mp3, d/l mp3 illegally, buy FairPlay elsewhere. With exception of Real Harmony, the last option has not existed.
Where Apple makes the money is iPod sales. HUGE money. However, Apple can't promote the three aforementioned options outright, not when it has the largest FairPlay (and altogether) legal music d/l store on the 'net. So the only thing they can do is not dissuade people from using the other options... forcefully, at least. All I remember Apple saying about Real Harmony was "they're hackers with questionable methods," or something like that.
As Mr. Green said, the only risk I would see is if others tried to make a FairPlay compatible "mp3" player. I wouldn't see it going places unless sync'd with iTunes or a different phenominal jukebox. Thus, Apple likely writes that possibility off as someone else "pulling a Zune."
hehe. We don't even know how the zune will do in reality but we love to pick on it here. I must be on a Mac Forum. :p

Wow! "Does not make more than a few pennies." I do not think either of you appreciate the power of small numbers, when multiplied by millions of transactions and time. Soap companies have understood this for several hundred years, clearly Apple understands it as well. The individual unit profit on iPods is clearly higher, but each iPod sold acts as a multiplier of where the real money is made. What a dream to earn just one half of one cent of every iTunes purchase. If globally they sell a million songs a day, I'd receive $5k a day or $1,825,000 a year.

Crap. I'm screwed. I upgraded mine and it was never on my Mac since I downloaded it right to my iPad :(. Does anyone have the v 1.0 they could send my so I can install it after I remove the other?

Microphone and cellular radio... sounds like a cell phone to me...
Add a camera, it's hard to find a cell phone without one these days...
GPS? Yep, most of them have that too, can't find a Sprint one without it.
Hmmm, sounds like a pretty standard cell phone complement, why not add the geo-coordinates to the EXIF data when taking a picture. I think this takes about 3 lines of code and makes sense... most cell phone makers could add this in a firmware update.

Microsoft has announced that it has halted development on a universal version of VirtualPC.
In a statement on Monday, Microsoft said it "has made the decision not to move forward with a Universal version of Virtual PC at this time." -- via News.com (http://news.com.com/2100-1012_3-6102930.html?part=rss&tag=6102930&subj=news)
VirtualPC has long-been the king of the hill for Virtualization on Macintosh. With the Intel transition, however, came competitive pressure from Parallels (http://www.parallels.com/en/products/desktop/), which has since released the final version of its product, and VMWare which is showcasing a beta (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/08/20060805151513.shtml) of its solution at WWDC.
Microsoft has claimed that to port VirtualPC to Intel would be much like making VirtualPC 1.0 all over again.
Because of how closely virtualization software is tied to an operating system, Microsoft said that moving Virtual PC to the Intel-based Mac would be "similar to creating a version 1.0 release."

With what Apple seem to be focused on these days any Analyst could use this template.
"Apple will release a lighter, thinner **Insert any Apple product**"
And have about a 90% chance of getting it right.

dynamicvworking out the key from the lock and pass onto another locksmith to make an exact copy to open a house or allow others to tour your house for free is not wrong? gee, what's the point of the lock on you door? what's the point of any password on your keychain (access)?
Stop trying to fight DRM, ignore it or don't buy the crap in the first place
Whether you agree with me or not, that's the way the legal world sees it. Reverse engineering is quite common.

This move was not unexpected, although certainly it was in Microsoft's power to continue it as long as they wanted. Frankly MS has too many platforms to compete against in different markets with different strategies. They are large enough to do it, but anywhere they can focus will be beneficial to them. This is a smart move.
Regardless... Zune software was a completely different and BETTER (remember it) experience than iTunes.
Zune software requires a Zune, a WM7 phone, or a Kin, which means that not very many people can argue this point; I have no idea if what you are saying is true or not.
Here's hoping Apple gets off their money-grubbing a$$es
The irony is that MS grubs more of your money than Apple: 30% annual net profit margin versus 21%.

Hi, I run Snow Leopard natively on my MBP, and have installed Windows 7 on bootcamp.
So, i boot into Win7 and i can read files on my Mac partition but i cant edit/ write to them.
I was wondering if there was any way to edit/write files on Mac partition while being in Win7 partition.
I've done my search and found MacDrive to be an option, but it costs a lot where i'm from. Are there any free alternatives?
Thanks :)

I was there at 10 this morning when they opened and they said they didn't have any in stock, so I drove to Best Buy in Murray and they had just received a shipment so I was able to get one! I know the SimplyMac store in Ft. Union was expecting a shipment in today too.
How many did they have?

The dump command runs as root. Do you actually run the database as root with all file owned by root? Most people would make a special user just for the databse. If you are setup like that then perhaps you should run the dump as that user.
I don't use mysql but other DBMSes will refuse to run under root as that is to dangerous
I don't intend to run the dump command as a root, but was kinda using the root account while I was testing all the backup commands to make sure things don't get the permission issue.
The weird thing is that the script worked just find from command line, but did nothing from the cronjob.

I think I'm missing something re: getting the new iPod software for my 5G iPod. I installed iTunes, and it tells me that mine is up to date with version 1.1.2. Is there a separate download that I'm missing?

Hello, I'm looking for a high-quality large format printer. Any suggestions?
Thanks :cool:
not sure about the paper size you are looking for, but if budget is allowed, you should get an epson 3800 or 3880 printer and also a decent refillable system for it, here has some working flow and printing sample

Could make sense - and source of the rumour might have some credibility now that CityTV is owned by Rogers...
I'm still waiting for the CDMA version though!

Think you may be waiting a while for CDMA version.
Over the weekend I was reading an article ( Globe and mail IRC ) that Telus are seriously considering starting a GSM network.

Who's the prick downrating your posts...?!
A friend of mine runs a small animation business. He does lots of rendering, which is apparently extremely CPU-intensive. If that's what you'll be doing, as DG has said, the i7 might give you something extra. But if you're working on stills, I think the i5 is fine.

Did anyone else buy a new song? It seemed to me that when I picked up the new Bare Naked Ladies album it downloaded a lot faster and multiple songs at a time now.
Yeah, I downloaded a Murder City Devils song and I too, noticed that it downloaded the song rapidly (I accidently bought the song twice...don't know how:mad: ).
I also noticed song previews run much faster then before.

I don't remember the paper, but my friend gets it delivered in Draper.
It said you guys were up playing games on a projector and smoking meat or something. Sounded like a pretty good time lol.
I showed up at 4:15PM and was behind about 900+ people!
