One can always hope. But when has this ever NOT been true for a Microsoft operating system? Windows 95 ran poorly on computers released when 3.1 was out. Windows XP had compatibility issues with many Win 98 boxes. Etc, etc. This has always been true for them. The only difference now is how long XP has been out without being significantly updated.
Agreed.... but I think to most (at the time) the Mac OS wasn't even considered. Macs were "toys" only used by "artsy" folk :rolleyes:
The general view of the Mac has changed alot in ten years.

That's a bit disingenuous. Yes there are editors who use FCP. And yes many Avid editors also have an FCP license on their laptop or home computer as well. Why not, it's cheap and can use third party hardware.
When you compare actual employed editors who work in Film and Television, Avid is still king. Apple skews the numbers by comparing the amount of software sold, but it's better to look at the projects completed and see what tools were used.
The question is whether this new release and their strategy is going to continue to draw working editors away from Avid or just continue to be a great prosumer video editing tool that has gotten easier to use.
You can't evaluate the product based on an Apple pitch if you rely on your editing software for a living. How do you know it kicks out and accurate EDL? How do you know if it still kicks out solid OMF files to your sound designer?
Avid, Final Cut, Premiere, they are all just tools and you have to use the right tool for the job.
Avid is for mac as well, in fact it used to be mac only. CS5 is also for mac, the only major editing programs that aren't for mac are Sony Vegas and Grass Valley Edius, which don't have a major market share. So a 49% figure is probobaly accurate if you include the people running Avid and Adobe on Macs.

That's the reason Apple chose google maps in the first place. When they first introduced the iPhone, there would be no plausible way to store maps on a phone with only 4/8GB of storage.
True, perhaps not the entire world. But before the iPhone came along, back when we all mostly had "only" 512MB for data and apps, many of us had installed a subset of the TomTom database on our smartphones.
Outside the USA, some phones even came with TomTom installed by the carrier for the country where it was sold. Especially HTC Windows Mobile phones.

You know its very sad that these people who work for literally peanuts, and in miserable working conditions, probably have families with mouths to feed, have a completely different life than anyone reading this forum could ever imagine, they don't have iphones and ipads, access to the internet, or even live in democratic society where they might receive a fair trial for this clear transgression.
A couple of creepy case manufactures waved some amount of money in their faces and it more than likely was not a lot, but it must have seemed like a fortune to them, for turning over the schematics of a product they probably had little idea of how ravenous a market was waiting for any and all details and demanded accessories immediately at the time of the launch of this super secret Apple product they would never be able to afford.
What they did was not right and I do not condone it, but everyone of you that bought one of these cases, probably on Ebay, that were available on the day of the launch plays a role in the scenario.
As most of us know these cases are cheaply made and have no quality control, basically cheap crap.
In my opinion want to know why the manufactures were not arrested and thrown in jail for bribing these employes. I think they probably were rich enough off the profits of their crappy cheap cases to bribe the local police.
Sometimes we have to look behind the initial headlines and think about the human elements and what led people to make the decisions they made.
I really hate reading posts from people who literally no concept of what it might be to be in another persons shoes especially in another culture and country. Your experience is nothing like their experience and making self righteous statements about what's right and wrong and what your job is like and how you keep secrets, do your job, blah blah, is just plain ignorant.

While many will disagree with my point of view, I think this is just more evidence that Apple and Google with be the 2 major players duking it out. The one that should really worry here is not Apple but RIM. On the bright side, this will just force both iOS and Android to get better and better as they compete with each other. Both platforms have come a long way I can't way for the next smackdown!
1)I think with Apple reportedly not releasing the iPhone 5 till 2012, that is a huge open door for Android and RIM to come in and grab more share/customers.
2)I don't think the iOS has come a long way...I have the 3GS model which is 3+ years old...the only difference between the 3GS and the 4 is better camera/video and Facetime. iOS has barely changed. I have NUMEROUS iOS enhancements that Apple could put into the iPhone yet they still do not exist. iPhone 3/4 is very nice, but I have to tell you that as I see more and more Androids out there, the Androids look extremely competitive if not better than iPhone.
3)Don't underestimate RIM/Blackberry. They OWN the business space. Too bad Apple has never figured out how to play/sell well to businesses otherwise iPhone would likely have killed Blackberry by now. My wife got the new Torch...although it's no iPhone, it's quite a nice device and is PAID FOR by her company like 99% of "company" phones so whatever shortcomings about Blackberry, she's not paying for it like a general consumer. My bet is that RIM will try extremely hard to make their Blackberries better with touchscreen and web surfing. But the primary reason for a BB in business is not web surfing or playing angry bird games or watching Youtube...it's email/calendar, notifications, and some business apps.

Each civilization in history usually goes through the following 4 phases:
1. A great war
2. A period of economic growth
3. Decadence
4. Fall
The entire Western civilization has been in the 3rd phase for quite a while, don't you think?
EDIT: Oh, and by the way - there is no reason to be disturbed by this. In the end, we are all going to die anyway, aren't we? Fix the problems you can solve and let the rest go to hell if it wishes to do so! Memento mori - and be happy! :cool:
Well if you use that analogy, I wouldn't say the "American Empire" is in that "3. Decadence" phase.
It's actually still in "2. A period of economic growth".
Just because we were in a deep recession (which happened to be global) doesn't mean that we haven't "expanded". If you think about it, Iraq was the most recent "significant expansion" in the modern sense. It's not the same as British colonialism where we "captured the land to farm on and enslaved the people". But we don't need that stuff anymore and instead we have secured the oil, and prolly Iraqis will become like cheap labor in a couple of years. Maybe Afghans too will play a big role in making toys and stuff, who knows. Iran is next I'm guessing, by the way things are going. SE Asia, etc. still haven't "declared independance and broken away" by historic analogy...as they are still making our clothes, amoung other things. Speaking of which, Mexico is also a cheap manufacturing center for the USA and Mexicans even cross the boarder to be "enslaved" (cheap labor by their own will).
For the "Decadence" phase to be manifested, you have to have the members of the empire disatisfied and even uprise to start splitting up the people. It doesn't look like that's happening. Iraq is also a HUGE annex, because it holds much "black gold". ;)

So strange... so this school has an unprotected wireless network? No password, no encryption? If they setup proper protection only those allowed to use the network would be able to. Then you or anyone else could bring their laptop to school to take notes.
At the high school my daughter went to. They encouraged the students to all buy ibooks (2002). If you couldn't afford one, the school loaned you one. These were used in almost all classes and used to do research and writing assignments.

2-5% market share is "fine" as long as you don't need developers, application programs, component parts for new products (why should Intel, Ati or NVidia sell any of their "hot" new products for very long to such a tiny niche market!), compatibility with other electronic devices (TiVos, printers, cameras, etc.), ... the list goes on and on! (And don't even get into gaming, which still drives alot of computer sales!)
:rolleyes:
iBorg
I don't know, but Intel seems to be selling Apple all the processors they want, and even are working with them to produce special applications for Apple's needs, NVidea seems to be selling cards to them, too...
Apple has been even more compatible with periperals then Windows ever dreamed of, tho TiVo for some reason IS a hold-out. But then there have always been companies that held out, and Apple gets by just fine.
The gaming market is one Apple apparantly isn't concerned about yet, and probably won't be for a while, at least until they are well into gains in the consumer market... which has more potential than the gamers do.
So, yeah, 5% IS fine, which has been Apple's position for quite a while, after all, aren't they making money for their shareholders hand over fist?
What part of "record sales" isn't clear?:rolleyes:

I better take care of my ol' shuffle, since when it dies I have to buy a iPod and a USB memory. Not what I call evolution...
Hardly a problem. You can get a new shuffle and a 1 gig USB jump drive for alot less then the old 1 gig shuffle cost.

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
I could push about 3 days from the phone with wifi turned on, push notifications and location services turned off, low-to-mid brightness, and not playing with it too much throughout the day (e.g. let it sleep most of the time, which is what you'd want a phone to do). Maybe even longer if you turn it off at night when you go to sleep.
I regularly charge my phone somewhere between every night and every two nights.

Cingular is not the only GSM carrier in the USA.
T-Mobile is pretty big too. They have just purchased a ton of bandwidth for new high-speed services.
Remember the T-Mobile CEO saying "we have a similar vision as Apple" ?
That's why Cingular went with Microsoft, they know they didn't win over Apple. So, this is most likely going to be a T-Mobile partnership (whose corporate parent has a HUGE presence in Europe).

I have to assume that since Apple just released the 5.5G iPods, that if a 'true' video iPod is released, it will be as a 'super' iPod of sorts. This will be similar to when the iPod photo came out.
This is the only thing that makes sense to me, otherwise, why would apple put so much time between the two 5g releases, only to make them obsolete a month later???
This also makes sense in light of apple bringing down the prices so much with its last update, so that they can make room at the top.
so... who here feels sorry for the zune boys?

UMTS/HSDPA is NOT CDMA based. It is actually TDMA based, like GSM. While it does have a CDMA over-the-air interface, it is intended to replace GSM and its other sister technologies. EVDO is intended for the CDMA carriers (Sprint, Verizon, Alltel, US Cellular, Cricket, metroPCS) and will be a far cry from defacto as over 80% of the world is still using GSM. And second generation GSM is still amazing technology, and it and CDMA cannot be compared, just like apples and oranges or Macs and PCs.
Not quite true. UMTS uses W-CDMA as it's underlying protocol. W-CDMA is a mixture of CDMA and, to a lesser extent, GSM technologies. UMTS/HSDPA is the route that current GSM/GPRS/EDGE carriers are going since it's an easier upgrade path. (Check out Wikipedia or Google for W-CDMA for more info).

I've been waiting 3 weeks to buy a MBP assuming at least that iLife 07 would be announced today. Yet iLife 06 is still in the apple store..ARGH. Absolutely no computer announcements. This is extremely frustrating.
I'm really disappointed with these annoucements. Where's the stuff for their computers? Leopard? iLife 07? It just seems like they're pushing into every aspect of the market as quickly as possible. A business is like a tree...ignore the roots, and it'll die. Not that I'm saying Apple's going anywhere, but there a lot of disappointed people.
It just seems ridiculous that they would only announce Apple TV and the iPhone, and nothing else! There's really nothing for anyone - every single person in that room, watching Jobs give his Keynote, without a doubt, has their own phone in their pocket.
The iPhone doesn't offer anything new to an already saturated market. If we wanted to look ahead at developing cell phone technologies, one quick glimpse across the ocean and we'd see it all in Japan. In Tokyo, their phones are their train tickets. One swipe of the cell phone over a reader and you're sorted. Internet and music is old news for them, as it is for most of the world. And a touch screen? Now there's a problem waiting to happen.
2 thumbs down for Keynote '07. Bring on Leopard and iLife '07! Satisfy your computer consumers!
