Oh yeah!?!?! Very honor-bound I'm sure! For a country that is number 1 in the world for software piracy and other forms of theft of intellectual property they have a very strange way of showing it.
On the other hand, Apple knew when they decided to manufacture their products in China, what they were bargaining for! These people sometimes live in extreme poverty and need to find any means of supporting their family. For Apple it is just money but for these people it is their lives and their family's life. It just goes to show how companies like Apple make their money. To us North Americans they paint a very pretty picture of themselves but underneath the surface they are corporate savages who are willing to strike down any human being that gets in their way to make a buck.
Let's be honest, its not like they would legally buy the software :)
And they are also allowing poor north Americans to get thier hands on knock off LV bags, Rolex watches etc etc.... :)
I am sure everyone on these forums is much more honour bound, Torrent anyone?
Apple is on a win win here, cheap labour, max profit, and simple corportate crimes end up being criminal offences in china, one way to keep fear in the work force and your secrets safe.

If they don't want you on their network, they should keep it secure. If I don't want burglars, I should lock my house. If I don't lock my house, I only get intruders, but no burglars.
And confiscating stuff is tricky to do here, I know parents have sued schools and teachers for damaging confiscated goods, but also for confiscating them. In multiple cases the school was given a small fine but with that fine also a reprimand.
And I wouldn't give my air away. Or I would ask him for a receipt on which he declared an undamaged laptop with serial number and the value of at least 150k. All the data of my home business is on that thing and if it gets damaged or lost it would really hurt me. Let's then see if he still wants the responsibility.
And it is odd, in afrika and India kids get laptops to get a chance to learn and at your school the confiscate then while you're working in them?! Odd, to say the least.

Cut & Paste for god's sake. At least give us the option to enable/disable cut and paste.
It's my problem if I'm stupid enough to not copy and paste directly. I find it a hassle to go and open up a folder and drag and drop. It's 2011.
How about "clipboard" becomes a folder so that whenever you do forget something that you cut, and you cut over it, you can go back to the folder and retrieve it?

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.

I work for UCSD's Resnet department and I have also noticed a sharp incline of mac users this year. A little under half the support calls/appointments I get now are for macs (which says something about their ability to "just work").
Personally, if I were to buy another computer atm, it would also probably be a mac. The decision is quite simple now that mac's are reasonably priced and can run windows just the same.

This.
It would make more sense (to me).
Oh Gosh no. Unless Apple kept their (Netflix') pricing methodology...sorry but 99 cents for ONE TV show rental is ludicrous in comparison to Netflix'

Let's back up for a moment. Why are screens in landscape mode to begin with? Because the CRTs, which were meant for video were. [see: RF modulator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_modulator)] Mainstream computer screens should have mimicked books, newspapers, and documents rather than televisions, but that's not how it played out. So, unconsciously we adjusted to text in landscape. Kind of stupid, really.
Then came the laptop. Well, a landscape display continued to seem logical 'cause the keyboard was wide. Awesome!
And now we have tablets. Finally, a device in the proper book/newspaper/document orientation. But look! You can rotate it to view multi-media! Perfect! My twenty year wait is over! Wait, what? It's gonna run iOS instead of Mac OS X? Genius!
Laptops have always been a compromise, and thus the choice has always come down to personal preference. Please stop arguing that one is better than the other, because as some of us have been trying to tell you, you'd be wrong.
Wow, I think this is really interesting but i don't agree with you. I think the wider screen is the best option, I don't know why... You say you read from your iPad while it's in the same orientation of a page... I NEVER do that, I much prefer the wide orientation... So I guess it's comes down to some kind of unconscious preference... And maybe it's the same thing that make me comfortable on a 11" macbook air...

I would ask the same question. However, that's not how patent law works in the USA. Nokia doesn't have to spend their time/money watching other people's products, tearing them apart, and looking for patent infringement. All Nokia needs to do is SOME DAY realize their patent was infringed and then file a lawsuit. That's it.
Correct. It is the possible infringer's job to make sure they don't infringe.

The 120 Hard drive, fantastic, about time, and you can buy it separately, Yeah i know its expensive, but if you listen to Major Nelsons podcast you'll find out why, and you get a cable to transfer the contents from your 20gig hd to the new one.
Admittedly, I stopped listening to Major Nelson after he said that EA making you buy extra jerseys was, in fact, giving you a choice. This was in contrast to almost everyone elses opinion that we were now being nickel and dimed for things that used to be free.
So since I have stopped listening, if you could, please explain about the hard drive being worth $179. Because Newegg is listing 120 gig laptop drives for less than $80.

Nobody in their right mind would take a look at the pathetic 5.5th generation "upgrade" and think that was what Apple had planned all along.
yes and with the 5th anniversary of ipod today, tommorrow could be very bright.

Why would they be kidding? I would guess that most NLE users rely heavily on the viewer and setting in/out points.
And like Keith said, I'm sure the viewer will be there in some form.my question was, why would anyone think that Apple would remove In/Out? Seriously thats a common tool in any Linear based application.
I didnt see any options on outputting to iTunes, maybe they got rid of that too...that was sarcasm.

And like Muslim women, nuns are often forced to wear their robes because they are forced to by their husband with rape and/or beating as possible punishment for non-compliance.
Are you talking about nuns, like in a convent? :confused: I thought they lived a life of chastity, and considered themselves married to God. I'm pretty sure God doesn't beat them or rape them, or otherwise punish them for non-compliance.
On a side note, can we impose a mandetory bikini rule anytime the temperature permits? Probably not; the list of exceptions would be huge, no pun intended.

That is what I said. Apple not to going to use pure magnesium. Pure magneisum is way to reactive. I said that it be some alloy. Magnesium alloys are good but people here are acting like apple going to use pure magnesuim and no one is stupid enough to use that. If they are they deserverd to be fired. Pure magnesuim is to reactive. An alloy on the other had is good.
Exactly. Apple already has experience with magnesium alloy, that's what the iBook's framework was made from.
Only jewlers make things out of pure metals, everything else is some kind of alloy.

What was it, before the iPad 2 announcement, that every one was certain of? iPad 2 will be late. No new iPad til September.
Apple laughed at that and said, actually were ready to go next week.
+1 ... The iPad 2 rumors were ridiculous claiming no iPad until summer/fall. Laughable.

I am looking forward to seeing FCPX for real. But premiere IS awesome.
Unless you are concerned about audio. The last project I did in premiere, the audio got jumbled up with drop-outs on export and I had to reedit in FinalCut because I couldn't figure out why is was doing that. But, I do like Premiere interface and edit tools better than FinalCuts ancient ones. Really looking forward to FCX, but still considering switching to AVID full-time for the known reliability factor.

just had my MBA taken off me in school, despite the fact i was doing schoolwork on it. the reason that it was taken off me was because 'i was a threat to the network'. so my school doesn't trust its high achieving pupils to do work in lessons? the IT technician who took it off me said he was 'keeping the network secure' by taking it off me. i had little choice but to give it him.
what are your thoughts on this?

Probably s stupid question, but with all the members here... and, what, 300 apple stores, no one has seen what is in the back rooms or anything of the apple stores?
There's also a piranha tank in each of those back rooms, and the fishies just love to snack on moles.
