The problem for the other tablet makers, currently, is the economy. IMO, if you aren't first, then you need to do something to penetrate the market. (There are multiple "firsts", 1st to market, 1st competitor...) By the time M$ and others hit the tablet market, they will have to penetrate. Their hardware will have to be superior and expensive and they will have to sell for a loss.
This is where the economy comes in. No one's going to sell for a loss in a down economy. M$ xbox used this to penetrate the gaming market. If M$ didn't sell the xbox for a loss, the platform would never have been adopted and would have gone the way of so many before it.
The only viable option I see right now for a competitor to Apple, is Amazon. Apple is built and sustained by iTunes. If Amazon can re-create iTunes and make it available on Android/WP7/RIM, Apple will get a run for their money.
Amazon would be smart to become a viable iTunes competitor and then subsidize the cost of the hardware. Imagine buying a phone from Amazon with a carrier subsidization and an Amazon subsidization.

I ordered my 27" HDD+SSD on the phone and asked the apple employe about the long delivery time. He told what we are waiting for so long are not the SSDs themself to arrive but some new controllers for them. The benefit of waiting for those will be that the new generation iMac SSDs will be faster than the previous generation. He went on explaining that apple decided to release the new iMacs ahead of the arrival of the new controllers so only a few customers (those ordering SSDs) have to wait longer. I can't garantee that the explaination he offered me is correct. But this is what he told me.
One thing on the bright side though: I asked him about the "Back to school" promotion and those free iPodtouchs that were given away last year because some people on this forum are expecting this promotion to start again this year in late may. Well, he couldn't comment on when this promo is going to start this year. But he told me if the promo starts before my iMac gets delivered i should give him a call and he'll see what he can do. Of course thats not a promise but he really sounded optimistic about it.
Keep in mind this is just what a low level apple salesmen told me. But i put my confidence in it.

Sounds like a good idea, obviously one would have to pay for the full lyrics, let's say $0.01�.
You could search for a lyric, and the result would be a list of matching songs, when you select a song, it gives you Artist, Album & Song Name, plus a sample of the lyrics (say one verse and the chorus). Also the option to buy the song if it's not in you iTunes library.
I know the recording industry are a resistant and mercenary group of individuals, but how much $$$ would they want for just the lyrics, considering you have bought the song already?
Send feedback to apple, and ask for royalties if they ever implement it, you never know!

Speaking for arn, yes, we absolutely want to be notified if things aren't working for you. The best thing you can do is continue to provide screenshots of the page - a picture is worth a thousand words. ;)
I just checked IE 5.0 in OS 9 and I didn't see what you described, only the tab issue you already alerted us about. IE 5.1.7 has the tabs right and it shows the left and right columns.

That's due to the large image embedded in sonofslim's post.

Anyone else noticed that the iTunes Mini store has departed us in this version?
Or am I missing it somewhere?
EDIT: Nope.... found it. I noticed the EQ went walk abouts too. Found it under the same menu

2) Pages and Keynote (and it seems the "Lasso") are all targeted at the non-experienced computer user. Unfortunately, for the most part, that is the exact opposite audience who use spreadsheets.

I got back to my fraternity house after my morning class just before the plane hit the second tower. There was a lot of confusion - 25 people crowded around the TV, trying to figure out what was going on. All anyone knew was that one of the WTC Towers was smoldering. And as we watched, the second plane hit.
I go to school in upstate NY, so there were a lot of frantic phone calls that went unreturned over the next minutes and hours. Some eventually got through. Some were never returned.

I just got the 13" Air from my new job, and I love this thing. There is no going back for me. I had a two year old MacBook Pro 15" before this and a string of Powerbooks before that. The size/weight is perfect, and the speed bump from the SDD is just awesome. Definitely faster than my last MacBook Pro at almost all tasks, despite it having a slower processor.

There has to be some incentive to work harder. Taxing him at 50% or so would be OK though.
At that level, I am not seeing the need for incentive, please explain why billionaires need incentive to work harder?

ditto - am I the only one who isn't a fan/simply does't care for GPS units?
It's a technology with a LOT of potential once it's on a handheld device, especially when coupled with mobile Google maps. For example, you could do a quick search for the nearest Starbucks, nearest movie theater, etc., and get directions to go there (maybe even with a full navigation system like cars have).
The photo integration is definitely interesting, but by no means a "killer" app. The killer app for GPS is definitely providing local information and directions. I would definitely love to have that on my iPhone. The main thing I use the web browser on my phone for is precisely to look up movie times or try to look up directions when I'm in a pinch. If the iPhone provided a GPS-enabled Google Mobile application that made it much faster to get the information I'm now getting somewhat slowly and clumsily, that would definitely be something I would pay a little extra money for...

I have an Apple BT mouse and it really is great. The response time is very good and I've gotten use to the one button over two. Actually, I've gotten more use to keyboard commands that take place of the right click in many cases.
I looked at the Bluetake 500 that you have McGarry...looks pretty good...how much?

Just please never give me a parallax 3D screen on my iPhone, or it'll induce vomiting. Until I can walk around in a 3D world and my brain doesn't know the difference between that virtual world and the real one, please let me stick with 2D!
