I got to watch it. However, there were interruptions due to the high amount of web traffic.

True but I still see a use for dedicated devices. I rode across the country and back (6000 miles) on my bike. I don't think the iPhone would hold up too well to the rain, snow and vibration. Not to mention not being able to use the touchscreen with gloves on. ;)
Great points indeed. :)
Though I don't think my Mom's TomTom would hold up much better though! :eek:

I don't see any Mac drivers, so most likely not possible with OS X.
If you want Mac support, check out Promise.
If you want to save some money, build your own ZFS box based on OpenSolaris or FreeBSD.
It says that it supports Mac right here

My question is: will a Mac recognize all 32TB of storage?

I think "Macs are slow" has to do with my belief that Macs last longer and therefore there are lots of old ones sitting around in schools. Think about a Mac that is 5 years old and a PC that is 5 years old. One stays a whole lot more usable than the other!
Also, if people are buying $299-399 budget PCs, yes they will sell more. They will also sell them more often! How long do you think someone will keep a computer that costs $300 versus one that costs $1,000-$1,200?

You are obviously not trying to switch because of OS X. For me, I couldn't stand Windows or Linux (too complicated to be any good) anymore.
Linux has come a long way with regard to ease of installation, and the open source community has extensive documentation on how to do everything from installing a different window/desktop manager to setting up an email server. I'm not so sure Linux can rise to the level of ease of use that OS X has without sacrificing a good deal of power and flexibility.
Still, I (as a Linux user) can see why people prefer OS X over fighting through using a Linux distrib. OS X is engineered to be easier to use overall (and yes it does sacrafice some flexibility to an extent).
Just firing my two cents out there...not trying to turn this into a Linux war or what not. :)

That, in short, is why it's wrong to paint all Ivy Leaguers with the same broad brush.
So it's okay to generalize about Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Brown, and Columbia, but not the whole Ivy League? Please. Have you considered *not* generalizing, period?
And for the record, I switched two years ago. So I guess I'm a switcheur. Sorry if I don't meet your standards of excellence.:rolleyes: I'll just go on using my iMac, not because I enjoy it, but because I wanna hook up with a Princeton sugar mommy. :rolleyes:

WOW, I really feel like MS have screwed me now, moves like this do not make your fanbase feel too good and it does not strike much confidence in people either. Seems to ms that instead of just making a console and going with it, >S are doing a thing like "See we can do that as well Sony", seems a little childish to me.
Never understood that logic, never will. Oh well.
Yeah, except they forgot to include HD-DVD. :p
Microsoft is falling into Sony's little trap: they've got the advantage of making a profit because Sony's got a higher priced console, BUT Sony's also losing money for us consumers. Once everyone realizes that, and adds the prices up for the things the 360 is missing (such as wireless and HD-DVD), man does a PS3 seem like an incredible value. Not only that, the 1.6 update really kicks the PS3 up a notch in functionality. They've also got a greater variety of games coming out...We'll see how this turns out.
And really, I feel really sorry for the people that bought a 360 only a couple months ago...It's a shame that Microsoft has to be childish. :rolleyes:
Ya, they should have bundled the HDDVD drive inside and integrated the WiFi to the main board, but oh well. I'm really only interested in this because it should hopefully push the prices for a 360 Premium down (on the used market at the least) and I'm thinking of getting one to connect to the VGA port of my computer monitor to use for gaming and not fret over getting a Mac with a decent GPU. :P

You do realize that Jobs is not an engineer. Nor has he ever programmed anything.
I have read all the patents where he's the first name listed. There's only about a half dozen, mostly ideas related to iPods and icons. And that gooseneck monitor arm. Oh, and he came up with the slide-to-power-off thingie you see if you hold down the iPhone power button.
My favorite: while the iPhone was being worked on by his employees, he applied for a patent for a telephone dial UI driven by a clickwheel. It was almost as cool as the Onion's "MacBook Wheel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BnLbv6QYcA)" parody:
Jealous much? Of course you do realize that the order of inventors on a patent means absolutely nothing. This is not academia. And since when do all computer inventions have to come from "engineers" and "programmers"?

Uh oh. Looks like I struck a nerve, right where it hurts (the ego), to a luxury car driver.
...Sorry to call you out on why exactly you pulled the trigger on your ill-advised purchase. I'm not coming on here saying I'm perfect. I have my flaws too. It's just that one of them isn't the overpowering desire to impress others with my material goods at all costs.
:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
I don't know about anybody else, but showing off never entered MY mind when I bought my Macs. I just like a computer I don't have to reinstall the OS for twice a year. Of course, you are free to ASSUME whatever you like about my attitude or motives, I don't care. I'm happy with my purchase, and don't feel it's ill-advised at all.
Yeah, there may be Mac owners with the attitude you speak of; in fact, I'll bet anything there are more than just a few. But most of the Mac owners I know just like how they work, and often struggle to make the payments.
The point is that Macs, like many luxury cars, are better engineered than the cheap models are, and therefore, work better, with a smoother experience and better handling characteristics. That isn't a controversial statement in the automotive world - there, it's pretty much known that you get what you pay for.
Then again, even there, you get the dorks that just like to argue...

Anyone else think it's a fake? I don't see how the front facing camera could possibly follow his head _way_ off to the side the way it does... but I could be wrong (don't have an iPad2 to see how wide angle the lens is)

My number one concern. I need a pda with my phone, and if Apple's not doing it, I'm stuck.
Wouldnt it be great if apple iphone had features of a phone, pda, and ipod and if it can be used as a modem for a laptop to access the internet?

Design has nothing to do with it. It is a function of availability of parts. If the parts are not being made yet, the phone can't be manufactured. I am hoping Apple is waiting for the second generation LTE chips.
Well yes,..
If the issue is purely the tech just isn't ready then throwing cash at it won't help.....
but Apple has a big horde of Cash so if the issue with the parts is the economic risk of retooling to build them and ramp up production. Then that is something pre-buying maybe able to solve.

Despite what some are posting here, I feel Apple will wait until the new year to address any new iPod/iPhone/etc.
Why? Because they can.
Apple is one of the few companies than can afford to wait out the holiday season with their current offerings - knowing people who just bought the new iPod video redux will ALSO buy the next gen iPod video once they see how cool it is (it will definitely be more than a brighter screen and some lame additional features).
Honestly, I don't know. It just seems that in the past, Apple waited to hit us in the pocketbooks until AFTER the holiday shopping season. While MWSF seems the place for such an announcement, I'm not sure they would want to feature a new iPod video their iTV, OS 10.5, an iPhone etc. all at MWSF. Seems a lot.

$40k seems on the high side as a car for the masses. And would there be any reason for that price to come down? The trend in cars/trucks has been steadily up for as long as I can remember.

I don't know when the real release date will be for iPhone 5, but I don't think Apple wants people to know the real date. If people think September, more people will buy the iPhone 4 now. Misinformation should be likely for the next few months as they try to get people to buy phones now as they need them. The folks that are already out of contract and willing to wait til Sept will be happy if it comes out in June, but having people stop buying phones from April to June is not what Apple wants.

So apparently Mr. Beeks has a new person on his list to avoid at the Christmas party. It'll be interesting to see Apple's response to this, if there is one.
Hmmm... thats strange I had a body bag erroneously delivered to my house this morning. It had the name 'Beeks' on it! :D
