while the volt doesn't look that special or great (the volt based Opel Ampera looks much much better) it isn't a ugly car
have you take a look at the Nissan Juke recently ? i saw one in on the road today and .. it's just as hideous as on pictures
Yep, people buy far uglier vehicles. Honda Accord Crosstour, Nissan Leaf and Juke, any current generation Acura, etc.
And I do find the Volt a good looking vehicle. Although, wasn't a fan of the concept....... Thank goodness it was as aerodynamic as a brick so it couldn't enter production with that front end.

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.
This isn't a GPS issue. It's actually something wrong with the AT&T network. The iPhone locates you with different information sources with GPS being only one of them. The information that the network cell tower provides is how the iPhones seems to begin its search.
Where I live (Essex county New Jersey), the iPhone tells me that I'm in near the Pennsylvania/NJ border - about 40-50 miles away - when I try to get my current location. When I go to Airplane mode and turn on WiFi, I get the correct location. So something is up with either the nearest tower or something is wrong with our SIM cards. You can make the report and see if others in your area have the same issue.
Otherwise, if things aren't resolved, I'd get a new SIM card activated. This was Apple's advice (confirmed by the WiFi/Airplane mode experiment).

This is getting exciting.
The billion dollar question: just content purchased from iTunes or all compatible (audio) files in one's iTunes library?
It wouldn't make sense to only allow purchased content. Why would Apple build that huge data center just to have their customers create copies of content that is already on the iTS servers? If it was only purchased content, it would only be a simple policy change to "Unlimited downloads of purchased iTS content"

I've grown to dislike reading magazines on the iPad for several reasons.
1. PPI of iPad too low
2. Appification of magazines (why have an app for each?)
3. Not passing along the cost savings saved in printing/shipping to us.
All I want is a subscription that cost less than the Amazon.com price, uses a common app (e.g. like Zinio) and a screen whose PPI is near the DPI of magazines.
What they're saving from not printing is being largely consumed by Apple's 30%.

and i thought i was the only one with "11 envy"
i bought the 13" ultimate to finally dump my 2009 15" MB Pro but even now i still wish i had an 11" ultimate. i bought for the best compromise between size and portability, but the 11" exemplifies the ultimate in portability and i wish i had one.
right now im trying to decide whether to buy the 11" MBA to compliment my 13" or to just go with an iPad and i'm currently leaning toward the iPad... but this thread now has me teetering the other direction again.
what i REALLY should do is go with the iPad and use what i'd save on a loaded 11" toward upgrading my desktop.
*sigh*

I understand where you're coming from, but from what some other users are saying, the temperatures are actually the same. Someone mentioned that there was a bug with the CD processors that reported the temperatures incorrectly. So I guess this means your computer is running at the same temperature as before, but the reporting is now more accurate (as 10-20 degrees hotter). Unless, of course, people are noticing an increase in temperature by touch. That's a little different...
hmmm, this could be true. But, personally I've never bothered to look at my temperatures, so a firmware fix to fix this doesn't really affect me. Firmwares can be great, but also be wonky. So right now my machine is running how I want it to so taking that risk doesn't seem worth it for some "more accurate" temperature reporting.

My wife and I adore our two MBA 11" 4Gb Ram 64 SSD refurbs, both are awaiting install of a 360 OWC SSD in each, then they will become our main machines:eek:, Mine will share duty with my 1st gen iPad, and hers will share duties with the iPad 2. We so love the size and weight of our iPads, we chose to downsize to the 11"MBA as well.

A cut will still be a cut; and a fool with a nice tool is still a fool...
The art of cutting/assembling shots to a nice story will not change, the language of film/movies is still the same. A good book is still a good book, wether it is written with a pen, typewriter or top of the line computer with a fancy text processor ;)
We will have to wait to see what FCP X will turn out to be, but Apple said they are fully dedicated to pro's, so I expect FCP X to still be a pro app, with all the pro functionality.
My impressions are that all these new functionality will help editors to quickly edit shorts etc. Wham bang the shots together. But longer movies will still take all the traditional craft. For example: the video and audio packed together, but I expect something like a J or L-cut will still be possible in an easy way. But how? Let's wait...
Grtz, Richard

Like many, I understand that this act isn't hurting the economy. It probably even helps the economy in a weird and perverted way. I also understand that we humans waste an enormous amount of perfectly good food, drinking water and other non-replaceable natural resources every day. And no, I don't shed any tears when some old and worn television is taken to the local recycling depot.
So why does this stupid 'will it blend' series anger me so much? I think it's to do with the cynicism and the willful destruction of a brand new and perfectly good device that was never used in any meaningful way. And it's to do with the completely meaningless purpose of that destruction: getting attention.
For all the idiots who defend this series purely because it succeeds at getting attention and therefore helps BlendTec make money, let's see where your moral boundaries lie. Because these commercials would attract even greater audiences if they blended puppies. Or kittens. Or donor organs. What's that? No living things? Okay, sissies. Let's blend rare drugs. Expensive replacement heart valves. Like any iPad, they're just objects. Right? Or try the ultimate cynicism: blend a million dollars. (Actually, that's been done.)
By the aloof and detached financial argument, if it makes them any money it's okay right? And it's cool. From reading this thread, laughing about these stupid pranks and muttering rationalizations is what makes you a man.
Personally, I think the world right now would be better off without these MTV Jackass-inspired boys who equate masculinity to stupidity. Being dumb ain't cool. Showing that you care takes far more courage.

Nope, you'll only get a free upgrade to 10.5 if you buy a computer after they announce the release date. Last time it was two weeks I think.
Ah....Damn....But Leopard will include iLife '07 right? I hope they also add iWork '07 as a freebie along with Leopard! I would love to start using iWork, but an imminent update is holding me back from my purchase.

Wait so, how are we supposed to report No Coverage in an area with, well, no coverage?
I'm guessing through the Wi-Fi connection?
I'm getting ready to download it now, so I hope this gets ATT to do some serious looking at their network.

I just back from Best Buy after pre-ordering an iphone 4. There were 4 models to choose from, White or Black, 16gb or 32gb. There was a $50 deposit, for which I received a BB gift card which will be used when I pick up the phone, and I now have an scheduled appointment at BB so I'm guaranteed to get it on the release date - plus, I won't have to wait in any lines when I get there.
Prior to going to BB, I tried to order a phone online through Apple as well as AT&T. The Apple website got stuck at the point where I selected the phone I wanted. The AT&T website did not show the iPhone 4 as an option. Don't bother calling AT&T to try an order the new iphone - they will not take your order and will just refer you somewhere else.
How did you secure an appointment to get set up? Which color did you get? I preordered 2 white iPhones 1st at the local Best Buy, but they weren't able to set an appointment for receiving and setting up the iPhone but said they'll call me "soon" to set one up.

guess you haven't seen the pictures i put up in the Macrumors Pics!! Thread LoL.....
the way the gauges work is weird, smallest is 20, but your most common is 18, the lower the number the bigger the size. its weird, i know. i can't squirt anything through my labret, its only a 14.... maybe if it was 12 or bigger. so 2 would be a bit more than double what i have now...
here is what a quick search turned up Linky (http://www.tribalectic.com/SizingInfo.asp)
I need to pay attention more! :p (school, rehearsal, senior recital, y'all know how it goes)
Dude, I looked at that chart in the link and...
oh.. noes... the pain!
I mean, I've passed kidney stones with NO pain killers, and I'm WINCING at how they describe how to stretch.
ROCK ON, since you can handle it! Wow!
..I'm off to soak my earlobes in ice water... :o

wonder how this effects people(me) with a 4-5 week window that ordered last week ?
You can answer that question best.
Check your order status. If nothing has changed, well, you have your answer.

Wow, sucks if you ordered when it was 4-5 weeks.
People ordering after you getting units faster
Simple solution: order another one and return the one that gets to you last.

Oh Gosh is this guy our version of the Dell Dude.
No. Steve Jobs has consistantly talked about the Mac Culture having class. The Windows culture doesn't. The ad about the Mac home video illustrates this point, with Gisele. That Dell has some random pothead trying to sound hip and the Get a Mac ads have Justin Long, a successful actor and purported teenage-heart-throb, further illustrates this point. This is the same reason Apple spend $4M on the 1984 ad and had Jeff Goldblum and Richard Dryfus narrate their TV ads while PC ads usually have spinning text and always end with the Intel doorbell.
