What an incredibly misguided law. I can't believe a western country in the 21st century could not only have such a law, but instantiate and enforce!

And that is the biggest question of them all. If I can't put the music I bought and ripped up in the cloud, what is the point? I am curious to see if this is going to be a paid service, part of Mobile Me or? Can't wait to see how this plays out.
It will probably work the way Amazon's new service does. Only the music you purchase moving forward can be synced in the cloud.

Not gonna happen. For starters, how do you type in names for your audio tracks when you've got your keyboard swapped for a mixer? :)
Still, neat idea.
Look at the diagram again. The mixer could be placed below the keyboard, where that trackpad and wrist rests would normally be....
oh, HELL no. Please don't tell me you're serious. Can you actually imagine someone carrying around a portfolio of these plates to lay on their computer? That's worse than an 8" floppy!!!
Unbelievable.
I pray this never sees the light of day.

I doubt people would carry them around. I think this is more about offering customized MB/MBP input interfaces for specific educational or professional purposes.

Just received my 8GB upgrade from Crucial this morning and have had it installed all day. Seems to work fine and everything v. quick!
I have a Late-2008 MBP 2.8GHz.
Mikey, I also have a late 2.8 Ghz machine, can you tell me the web url or part number of the 8 GB memory you ordered from Crucial.
Thanks

14k it is finishing a wu every hour so 24 x about 611 points per wu = 14,664 I think it would do better if I didn't have a -bigadv unit running all 12 cores of the cpu but dropping a core to give to the gpu would slow down the bigadv unit which by the way is keeping up with my mac pro at about 34 min per frame.
well you might still get the same 34 min per frame with -smp 11. it might be worth a shot to see.
one of my systems actually does better at bigadv units with -smp 7 instead of -smp 8.

But yeah, the empire we built upon slavery and bullying is long dead...
And good riddance to it. However you can't argue that our desire to achieve and excel seems to have taken a severe knock back over the past few decades.

Wow, I've never heard of this issue - and I haven't noticed it on my setup.
I have a NAS that, upon booting my iMac, gives me a "can't connect" error, because it's trying to mount that volume before network connectivity is established. I have to click the share's icon to get it to mount - but then it stays mounted. *shrug*
It mostly only effects larger networks moving big files on a mish mash of hubs or routers with recycled lengths of blue cable in a building with not very clean power.
So in other words your average office full of graphic and other design professionals. Or Apples strong hold business market.

With the internet, I think magazines aren't doing that well anyway. Plus most of them are 50% ads, and the same ones in each magazine, which is quite boring.

My thougth is that the Apple intro will take the wind out of the Zune's press releases. So, how about 6G iPod introduction date = Zune Intro date + 7 days.
Anyone?:p
7 days would be a strange amount of time to wait. Zune is released on the 14th of November. 7 days later, it will have already gotten all the press it's going to get. Releasing the day before, the same day, or even a day after would make a lot more sense. 14th is a Tuesday, so I say the same day, if at all (I think it's more likely we'll see it next year).

That would be illegal with the new law as well. AFAIK, it's now illegal in France to wear garments that conceal one's face in public - not only for women but for men too. Since it applies to women and men equally, it's not discriminatory.
He could have argued it was for health reasons (one of the exceptions). Ski masks are allowed (sporting activities are exceptions also).

Apple isn't necessarily thinking how do we facilitate the creation of dvds so people can make home videos and share them with friends - they're going to the root - what's the best way of distributing videos - right now, upload to the internet is much faster and much more widely used then DVD burning.
ah, yeah, the best way for me to share a 50 minute movie of my newborn baby is to upload to the net? No. Not even close.
I have nothing against iDVD but like i said earlier it wont disappear, support will still be available for 3 years or so and iDVD will not disappear from your apps.
Yeah, iDVD is still there. But there are enhancements yet to be made to this software. Is iDVD multi-core aware? Does the iMovie to iDVD round trip not include a transcode to MPEG4 H.264 and then another transcode to MPEG2? These items should be corrected.
In other words, they might be replacing the software with something that does that job better, and the job is not creating DVDs, the job is distributing media in a beautiful way - maybe we will see the an app in iLife that was rumored before about making something like the Movie extras, with menus and other content - similar to iDVD but then its to upload or stick somewhere else or on your apple tv or on your iphone or ipad
I'm with you here. I need something to create final finished product. an iTunes LP style thing would be cool. I also need it to be "press button" dead simple. Not every consumer I send media to (think grandma) is tech savvy.

I agree that culture plays a part as well.
But seeing as your from Norway, who is also on the good end of that chart, what are your thoughts on the possibility of mass looting there I wonder?
Most people wouldn't steal food here, but if violent hoarding can be considered 'looting', then I would say the possibility is high under similar circumstances. By 'violent hoarding' I mean disrespecting one-per-customer policies and cutting in lines whilst armed with a shotgun. People here are easily freaked out by the crisis-loving media (don't get me started about the swine flu in 2009), and we have very liberal laws on firearms compared to the rest of Europe.

There's a very small part of me that kind of has to hand it to France for having the nerve to place this ban. It is a terribly misogynistic and divisive garment and I disagree with it completely. I think France merely outlawed it with the wrong reasons in mind... at least on paper. It should be to do with banning the hiding of identity rather than it being specifically a burka and niqab.
I live in a very diverse neighbourhood and I frequently see women in various head scarves. The burka and niqab seem quite antisocial and I find it hypocritical that totally covering one's face like that is accepted but if I walked into these same places with a motorcycle helmet, a balaclava, a mask, etc. I'd be asked to take it off, leave or some other such demonstration of being unwelcome/distrusted. If I said it was part of my religion, would it be accepted?
I find many Islamic beliefs particularly frustrating because many of the beliefs and or believers are SO inflexible but often expect total flexibility for themselves. I'm fed up with religious beliefs being unchallenged and so quickly accepted simply for being religious. Now in general letting people believe what they want is great policy but I think it can go too far. E.g., cases of women wanting to wear burkas and niqabs in identification photos. Come on! :-/ If I go to Dubai on holiday and bring a codeine painkiller that you can buy over the counter here, I could go to jail (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7234786.stm). Or if my husband gives me a little kiss in public, jail (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8602449.stm). Yet, hey, come to the UK and do whatever the hell you please and even try to change our laws or litigate (http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23420128-hairdresser-sued-for-refusing-to-hire-muslim-woman-in-a-headscarf.do) if you don't get your way. On one hand the UK's openness is wonderful but the other hand is being walked all over.
Someone somewhere has to draw a line, but carefully. I don't want to see beliefs outlawed but I am not so against certain practices being outlawed. There are a lot of really horrible religious practices taking place right under our noses and I'm not accepting it simply because it's someone's cherished religious belief.
Read up on "African witch children" for some really disturbing material, just so I'm not accused of picking solely on Muslims. I'll pretty much pick on any religion you put in front of me.
I don't know how or when it will happen but I long for a day when people themselves outgrow religion. Not governments banning it, but people learning their way past it. I know this idea may be upsetting to some but it will happen eventually and the stubborn clingers on will only look crazy. Sorry to say that many already do.
