I'm pretty sure you don't live here... every illegal immigrant that enters England pretty much gets to stay 90% of the time. My tax money goes to housing them, giving them a car, and whatever else they desire. I'm being treated as a second class citizen to illegal immigrants. Please NEVER EVER accuse someone of being racist, when I haven't once mentioned anything that is racist, I take great offence to someone calling me a racist. I am not a racist. I just do not like illegal immigrants entering my country, be it if they are white, brown, black, or green.
Then you have a problem with your nation's social and immigration policies, not with the immigrants.
When you write out posts placing the blame on specific types of people, you are being prejudiced and discriminatory.
Since I can see that you didn't mean that (or at least not anymore), my advice to you is to write more clearly.
I think "I'm a second class citizen in my own country" says it all.
I rather think so too. It lays out the paradigm quite clearly.

Yeah about that. While I reserve the right to change my mind, I just dont see myself getting one when they come out. But then again, stranger things have been known to happen, and the thing could just be oozing sex... Lets just say its gonna take a lot to make me fork out an extra $179 (in addition to the $300 the phone might cost) to terminate my current contract :(
Unless the iPhone allows for multiple service providers, which would be very cool. Then I would just sell my phone, get the iPhone and transfer my account.
This is all assuming such a device will actually exist, and whether it's any good of course.

Have you heard of a computer called the MacBook Air? :rolleyes:!
Yes. Are you also aware that it isn't going to run the kind of software that I was pointing out in my post. Also they do offer an external superdrive for that.
You are not going to be running pro apps on an Air.

If executed right (and Apple usually does that), they may have gotten the holy grail in computer/portable device here. While I can see shortcomings like mentioned here (how to type in tracknames when the keyboard is replaced by a mixer), I think it would be great for musicians on the road. Mix together your projects with the mixer, swap the mixer interface with your ordinary keyboard, and edit tracknames. swap it again with the music keyboard to add a few additional tracks etc etc. While in no way better than dedicated hardware, it may just get the job done on the road.
I'd like to see these ideas worked out, and possibly some of them executed.
How about a re-release of the Newton, handwriting recognition of the next level on a widescreen or next gen video iPod?

From my understanding FCP will still transcode your footy from AVCHD to ProRes (because by miles thats still the best codec to edit + add effects to) but it does it in the background along with all the faces/shot/stabilisation analysis. While a clip is being imported your allowed to work on the AVCHD file but it is automatically seamlessly swapped with the ProRes file when its ready. Which, if im right, is absolutely epic :)
Adds questions about where files are stored tho...
I think it'd be more epic to do an offline in avchd, making an IMG backup of the disk which stored the content. You can make an avchd edit and then when you have a picture lock, go back to the original, transcode automatically the footage you need, do your color correction and effects with the better files and export a pro res file or whatever you need. Though disk space is cheap, that would be a workflow I'd love to have since I'm handed hundreds of gigs of footage for a short video, easily filling up a multi-terabyte computer and externals quite quickly.

LCD: What a terrible looking display - back light bleeding not so much as terrible diffusion / light scatter - you can clearly see the LEDs themselves - bleeding I usually associate with a spot or two from poor extinction ratios - but that thing is... ack. As for the white balance bit with a white surround, I've yet to notice this effect while using any of my white iMacs, and have not seen it on the white Macbooks...
So, you're comparing a screen [white iPhone 4] that you've never seen before compared to various Mac computers that you own? Bad comparison if you ask me. Wait until you've gotten your hands on it for a while before giving your verdict.

Yep, and the funny thing is, even if you want to pretend 30% is an issue, fine! Charge 100% more for the iPad subscription. That should make up for it, no? I'd gladly pay it.
The 500% increase they're asking now is outrageous. (Wired is $10 for 12 issues through Amazon.)
And amazon is taking at least 30%, I would be shocked if the cut was that small.
It costs right around $1 per magazine to print, design and mail for very large circulations. Magazine not newspaper. Take out the printing and mailing and you're probably looking at about $.75 costs. Sell it for $.99 on the ITMS and Apple takes $.33 and they lose money. Magazines have very little wiggle room price wise.
BS, see above or join any large affiliate program that has accounts with major magazine publishers. Apple is about their cheapest avenue because they even process the payment for them.
WSJ pays 30% for each new subscriber you bring if you are on the CJ program. They pay MORE to higher volume affiliates. Almost all of the publishers are in the 25% to 35% range.
If they can't get all of their ads into the online version, that is a personal problem they should work out. The iPad readers are automatically the top of their Demo too, no reason any of their advertisers would purposefully shun them.

The MacBook Pro looks to be smaller (judging by the size of the speaker grill). Maybe they are releasing it in a smaller size
That would be awesome- a 13 or 14 inch MBP.
The speaker grilles are virtually gone...makes me wonder if they new ones will run even hotter, as on the previous models you can feel thermal currents coming out of the grilles....

So 1 in 20 people who have a cellphone have an iPhone. Not bad at all.
The amazing part is how many models the companies above them (and below them) are selling to get to where they are.

Actually, I think Apple is starting to push into the business market. They seem very serious about their upcoming Xserve launch in the next couple weeks and the iMacs make excellent office computers. Not to mention the current commercial specifically mentioning that their systems run MS Office. I'm willing to bet we'll see a bigger business/corporate market push by Apple once Office goes universal binary.
Anyway, while we're on that subject, does anyone know of a good accounting program for the Mac? And NOT Quickbooks! I despise that software, Intuit has over-simplified it to a point where it actually takes too many redundant steps to do a lot of things. That and its payroll support is a joke since you have to pay them extra to use it and well... I'm not even going to go there.
The GMA iMac is too expensive and doesn't offer enough customization to make a good business desktop. It makes a very good education system though.

I am very unimpressed. No Wifi, no 65nm process, no internal power supply, it will still be loud as heck. And if I want it, I am forced to get black, i don't want black.
Someone said why does it matter if their are 3 SKUS. Try this. Look at the Mac Mini, 2 models. One with a superdrive, one without. But what if you want the cheaper one with a superdrive. Whoops guess you are out of luck.
It forces you to buy the higher model. Only the Elite has the HDMI and the 120GB. Of course you could add the 120GB for the rip me off price of $180.
Let's compare that to the Mac Pro. One SKU customizable. No one is left out, you can choose what you want and you aren't limited to getting only certain things on another SKU. Most, including myself, prefer that model. What if Apple put Santa Rosa in the top end MB and left it out of the bottom? Not much of a choice, huh?
People like to think giving you a new SKU is adding to your choice. That isn't the case as you can see. Because in many cases the choice is made for you because you want something on in that one model.
Up until now, I never thought about a PS3. That has changed. Yeah you don't need HD-DVD but they put it out so you would buy it. And when you look at the pricing, the 360 is cheaper but you are getting a lot less. For $120 more than the 360 Elite, I get Blu-ray, media readers, wifi. I can even upgrade the drive to 160GB for only $110.
The PS3 is clearly the better system. If was going to spend retail price on a console it would be the PS3. Hands down.

Well it's a little (dis)comforting to know that xenophobes and racists can be found anywhere...
I find it fascinating that a lot of Europeans are frequently even more staunchly anti-immigration than Americans, and yet Europe needs it's immigrants a lot more than the US does because, well, your population growth rates are projected to be negative from here on out. If you think that empty schools, shops, and offices are really better than that funny looking brown person, then by all means continue this vitriolic rant.
Well, no, that's not what an empire is. An empire has centralized management and absolute authority over every single jurisdiction within it's borders.
The US has dual sovereignty; there are some powers the Federal government has that the states don't, and there are some powers the states have that the Federal government doesn't. There are also many concurrent powers in both.
Then there's also the name "empire" itself. It implies a single sovereign that IS the government, not a republic that has it's political power diffused.
On point to this thread, I'm always skeptical of anyone who claims that they can so accurately tell the future, especially when their grasp of world economics is so pathetic.
Yes, we all know that China (in fact all the BRIC countries) are growing fast, but so what? All that means is that there will be more markets, more consumers, and more opportunity in the future as barriers to trade keep coming down. Eventually this will mean that wars as we know them will cease because every country will be relilant on every other country for it's economic success. You just don't blow up the guy that sells you your coffee or who buys your widgets; it would be bad for business. At that point the notion of "empire" is meaningless because trade will not be dependent on a large army to guarantee transactions.
Then of course there's population projections to take into account. China is aging, and fast. In 30 years they will have a lot more older people and much fewer younger ones not only because each couple only has 1 child, but also because there are much fewer girls than boys. If anyone thinks that China is going to get out of that problem without any bumps and bruises, then they are sorely mistaken.
In the end, what anyone should care about is quality of life. Unlike in empires of the past, not being #1 doesn't get you raped and decimated these days. A decline of America's share of the world pie will most likely lead to improved economic conditions for all of us, including the US.
Sorry, how does me not liking illegal immigrants make me racist? who says they have to be black? They can be any colour, from any part of the world..

I can't see a $399 Core Duo mini for a while though.... Maybe a 1.6 GHz Core Solo version...
BYeah, Apple needs to make the Mac mini more lucrative. If the $999 iMac ever shows up I expect a price drop on the educational variant. Well Apple should drop the price..
