In this regard, I think it's ridiculous for the government to mandate that a company build a certain number of xx mpg cars, regardless of whether people actually want to buy those cars or not.
Carrot and stick. I think a combination of incentives, taxes and penalties should be implemented to encourage people to buy more efficient cars.
I don't think we should force people to buy efficient cars, but when too many people are commuting in trucks and SUVs it becomes a problem. Also, if all our domestic manufacturers are good for is making full size trucks that only Americans will buy, then we are making ourselves less globally competitive.

It could last up till 7pm!? That's 4am AEST! ARGH!! If there's one thing this Ashes series has done, it's exposed cricket lovers at work. They are the red-eyed, bumbling fools. :)
I only wish I'd watched the first couple of tests!

Wow! Talk about amazing innovation. I think the ability to have 38 characters engraved on the back of every iPod Shuffle ordered from the Apple Online Store FOR FREE is amazing. Imagine being able to engrave your name and phone number for example:
Return Reward Tom Jones 555.555.4093
36 characters
Lot of incentive to buy online to get that free engraving to personalize every one of them. I love it. :)
Also find it amazing and innovative that the audio out headphone jack triples as a recharge and data port as well. Never seen a headphone jack do so much all in one before now.
I've always though engraving was kind of intriguing, but I generally don't keep my iPods (of various makes/models) for very long. I end up selling them and then getting a newer version eventually (usually skipping a generation before considering the next.) It seems like engraving would be profit prohibitive when trying to resell an iPod--at least the resale value might decrease as a result of a personalized engraving.
Of course, you could always simply hold that little bit of information to yourself, but hopefully the conservative Christian won't mind too much when he purchases a used iPod with the engraving "Hail Satan" stenciled on the back. :D

What about the mid 2009 white MacBooks?
That was the last non-LED white MacBook. Is there a firmware update for that to unlock support for 8 GB RAM?
I think none the white (plastic) macbook ever supports 8GB of RAM... Sorry for you, but I think 4GB is more than enough for everyday use... Unless you're a professional photographer or videographer that uses big big softwares :D

I want a new enclosure AND merom. Somehow fit a DL superdrive in there.
i'd like to see some new enclosures, too. a DL superdrive might be pushing it...
i'm sure there's more to it than a revised spotlight, improved file sync'ing and virtual desktops. this is apple we're talking about. let's get realistic about our expectations while remembering this is a developer's conference and not a consumer product showcase.

I am considering which version to buy. Is it better to run under Mac OS or Windows 7 via Bootcamp? My computer is MBP 2010 17".

... I also hope they include built in anti-virus and anti-spyware. I know there isn't much of either for the Mac but it would be great for marketing and the day when something bad does appear.
Actually, I think the fact that they don't even have a need for those things yet is much more of a selling point than if they were built in. The selling point is that OS X is secure right out of the box with the built in firewall and what not.

I'll be all set with my '06 MacBooK with Intel 950 integrated, right? ;-)
btw, what does this mean for "Valve Time"?

I unplugged everything, closed any applications, and repaired permissions before running the update on my MacBook CD 2.0Ghz.
It updated successfully, no problems at all... It runs at the same temperature as before...

So ridiculous dude. Just embarassing. Do you really think anyone has the time or desire?
Sure. Lots of newbies do. A jobs a job. Beats having to say "[d]o you want fries with that?"

Has anyone else noticed that Test Match Special on Radio 4 can occasionally be the most innuedo-laden, smuttily, smirk-worthy show on UK daytime radio?
Or is that just me?
Given that it features faceless radio presenters, old farts and ex-sportsmen, I'd say you're probably right :)

If those are fake, I sure hope Apple implements something along the lines of what those screen shots offer. Even if small. The anti-phishing stuff would've been awesome like 3 months ago for me... BUT HEY YOU LEARN!

Storing my files so that apple can dictate what I can or can't have on their servers? Companies essentially owning my content?
Yeah I think I'll pass.
Cloud based services are anti-technology, with garbage like this companies have no incentive to increase capacities on storage devices and all content would be under a corporation's server who's sole basis is to make money while holding your data hostage.
Apple specifically is one of the most unethical companies out there.

OK Affirmed now you make a more sensible argument. So you are upset that Apple changed the paradigm and f---ed your work flow and pocketbook?
Apple is not microsoft or avid and not so much into supporting the status quo - I imagine you know that. So perhaps you should just lick your wounds and file this under "to be expected." Or perhaps Final Cut X will surprise you by fitting better than you thought into your existing pipeline and return to you, in a short time, the amount of money you have to invest to implement it.
a. Never once complained nor mentioned being upset. Simply reiterated that the demo was interesting, but provided little specifics. "Improved media management" - In what way? etc.
b. Yes, I am tasked with purchasing the systems and software for my shows so I do consider cost and work flow when migrating to new software or hardware solutions.
c. hahaha "changed the paradigm"

One thing you have to know is that IT people that work in schools are most likely political appointees, they know nothing and are worth nothing.
Make sure you get your laptop back.
Appointee...??? What are you talking about, it's not a position of office!!
Fact is in most places they probably get paid more than the teachers!

Nice! I saw a Slightly Stoopid concert when they were up at one of the casinos here in Shreveport, Louisiana.
They are hitting up a few places in Texas soon. Might want to check it out.
