Sorry but that's not the case, created an account just recently to provide my input on this issue on another thread. I am 3 iPads down with problems and still hoping the 4th will arrive with no leakage or dead pixels. I'm glad yours is "absolute fine" but if you do a search or just ask around you will find this is a widespread problem
You're one unlucky person. I really feel bad for you. I'm not an iPad owner, but my brother and a friend got theirs with no issues. I hope your 4th one is nothing short of being perfect.

The U.S. also has what they like to call "strategic oil", so that they will not be caught short of the ability to wage war, anywhere, anytime.
This is not a small amount, I bet. :rolleyes:

Uh, yeah, I'd say they're falling pretty far behind actually.
Practically every student in my media studies class was lined up to by fully-loaded MacBook Pro's - the semester began in September but they were willing to hang on until October for the "imminent" C2D MBP. October arrived but no laptop C2D, so, around 80 potential Apple customers now have shiny new Dell C2Ds. Dell gave them a great discount, too.
Apple needs to realise that potential switchers aren't willing to eat quite as much ***** as long-time Apple fans like us.
So very true. I am one of those waiting for C2D, but the term has started and I'm still waiting. I am a student developer, and if they wait much longer I will get a Dell. I think about getting the Dell everyday but my heart has been set on the MacBook Pro.
Apple are losing many sales by not offering the cutting edge. Wasn't the point of the Intel switch to have Portable 64-bit offerings that IBM could not deliver with the G5?

I'm still rather new to to Macs, but is there precedent for releasing software like iLife later on in the MacWorld show? it's a few days isn't it? is it possible that it might be released later in the week?
Steve generally announces iLife updates during his keynote every year, but it didn't happen this year. :( I'm hoping it will be released (or at least announced) sometime this week, just like what you're hoping for. I love iLife and I would really like to see what features/improvements they add to iPhoto and iMovie. I can't imagine Apple waiting too long to do something...

In terms of the hardware, Macs are using the same commodity components every other computer is built of, so there's no "special sauce" in that regard.
Actually there is. OS X runs on a limited amount of hardware and it's easy to test against that whereas impossible to test against the Frankenstein assortment of parts that make up OEM PCs. In addition Apple gives you a a better case, better keyboard and better display than the OEMs. That counts.
As per software, Apple doesn't develop that much. So most is 3rd party, and subject to the same developmental compromises that are made on any other platform (set goals on function/features and how to utilize development time that's within budget to generate them).
Let's see: Safari, Mail, Bento, Keynote, Pages, Numbers, iTunes, iLife and many more. You might as well claim that Microsoft doesn't make much in the way of software.:rolleyes:
Many of the Mac software houses gave up making Windows versions for the simple reason that it wasn't cost efficient. Windows sales accounted for 15% of business, but Windows accounted for 85% of the costly support calls.
Why? Windows is required to run on a tremendous variety of hardware and the truth is that it often doesn't run very well on them. As above, you cannot test your software on every type of PC hardware.
Depending on your needs, the OS may even be dictated by the software choices
Agreed. I use Scrivener 2 and Keynote for most of my work. Windows would be useless.
You're saying clusters are needed to write books?
I didn't say that at all. You implied that the important part of Reprographics was not the creation of it, but the printing. While the latter is an important part, the former is far more demanding.

#3 they took the printing costs and turned them into costs for web developers to code each issue along with paying apple
Do they have to code every issue? I would think if they were adding zero extra content it would be pretty streamlined at this point

Those people who have tattoos all over their body, like enigma, the cat guy, the leopard guy and the lizard guy are insane. They are fully disfiguring their bodies. They think they are animals, except for enigma who thinks it is "art", which IMO is less crazy but still incredibly weird. His puzzle pieces are all different colors and are all patchy.

Grabbing 5% of the total phone market with an expensive product is amazing in such a short time. :cool:
Not really when you think about it, most carriers offer phone upgrades every couple of years. Turnover in the mobile phone market is pretty high.

Can you share your dock and your wallpaper please ? Thank you ;)
I use this dock (http://www.dockulicious.com/docks/view/sexy-dock), but I replaced the indicators from that dock, with the indicators from this dock (http://www.dockulicious.com/docks/view/matte-black--blue-orbs).

Are people as outraged by this leak as I am? I can't believe it. He just stole Steve's thunder at a later secret event. This will end up costing Apple the element of surprise and the impact of a special Steve announcement. We've got to punish Lion's Gate somehow. We need to boycott all of their films and show that they cannot mess with Apple. The mothership is under attack! Who's with me? :mad:
I'm going to smile and assume this is sarcasm and a joke :)
If it's not...wow.

Every year, new iPhone around June.
Why would it be otherwise?
Verizon Phone, iOS5 not being ready, Tsunami in Japan putting supplies into a shortage, take your pick.

The worst part for myself is the death grip forced Apple to modify the bars displayed.
Turns-out, I've had awful AT&T service for years :(
I saw 5 bars for two minutes today after driving for two hours.

I ordered my iPad 2 at 10:00 p.m. on 3/11 and was originally given a ship date of 4/1.
I just received notification (late last night) that it's shipped and will be arriving on 3/30.
Looks like Apple is getting caught up on orders to me...

Interesting app. Unfortunately the place where my phone drops the most also has a funky gps issue. My iPhone usually says I'm located anywhere from 10 to 20 miles away (and yes, it has the pin point orb thing and not the you're in this general area circle). So I can report the problem but AT&T will get some random spot in the city and not the actual position.
Hey NAG,
I just fired it up to report an issue and you can move the map around and center the RED X exactly where you are located. I got mine set my actual street address. If you put it in the general area of where you live and then zoom in on the map, you can position it to a much great degree of accuracy.
It's actually quite useful, so here's hoping the get the rest of the nation blanketed with 3G like verizon. I don't care if it's the fastest, I just don't want EDGE or ROAMING :)

but live tv on my phone? Amazing. I'm getting it right now.
But that's only over your home wifi network, no?
So does this mean I can be at work and use my iPhone to schedule to record a programme that my sleeping mac will then wake-up and record?

I'm completely baffled. I posted earlier in this thread and got no replies, so I'm even more confused than when I posted the first time. Why is it so out of the realm of possibility that the 5th anniversary of the iPod would be the release date for the "True Video" iPod?
Everyone seems to be ignoring this time as a great release date. Yes it's early, but they could do pre-orders to ship before December.
I'd love to be told I'm wrong in this speculation, but it's the "why" I'm wrong I'm interested in most. No one is mentining this date!

I can't believe how angry I am. I'm almost foaming at the mouth! The mothership is definitely under attack, and maybe even some babyships too!! Ships of all genders, ages and religions are under attack! Prepare for BATTLE!!
I think Apple should release a "Special Steve Announcement" immediately, just to calm me down.
:D :D :D
I finally cracked when I read this. I was wondering if anyone even remembers the bad old days.
At last, somebody who got it.
I was making fun of the days when every post related to Apple was a battle cry of this sort, and a plea to help "the Mothership." All non-believers were heathens. Being a Mac users then was surreal. You cannot say anything that remotely hinted at non-allegiance to Apple. If you think I'm exaggerating, go look for archived threads from 2000.
I was hoping somebody would get the reference. Glad I wasn't disappointed.
Back on topic: I don't really see the movie download business taking off. I want the DVD extras, and I don't think Apple will be giving them out.
