And that is the biggest question of them all. If I can't put the music I bought and ripped up in the cloud, what is the point? I am curious to see if this is going to be a paid service, part of Mobile Me or? Can't wait to see how this plays out.
It will probably work the way Amazon's new service does. Only the music you purchase moving forward can be synced in the cloud.

IIRC, unopened video clips can loop a small segment of the clip as the icon.
Ugh... I hope that could be turned off. Scrolling through a folder full of moving icons would be like scrolling through some of those obnoxious web pages full of animated GIFs.

I would just like to report that I received iPad #4 last night - no problems, looks beautiful and zero light leakage, also passed the dead or stuck pixel test so I'm very happy. Genius bar and the people at local Apple store were extremely helpful even adding "if you still have any problems in a couple months just bring it back and we'll exchange at that time"
I didn't wait in any lines whatsoever, iPad was ordered online right when they went on sale so I received shipment fairly quickly with iPad #1. It was just good customer service by the "Genius" working for me.
That's good to hear -- sorry for my assumptions. I think I was just a bit too worn from everybody swearing up and down that their iPhone 4 was dropping calls more than their other smart phones that I couldn't help but think "here we go again" when this light leakage thing started coming out. Honestly, some of those light leakage photos in the thread are no worse (and often better) than many LCD monitors I have owned. Some of them are pretty darn bad though. I'm glad to hear that Apple took care of it. Again, my apologies.
On the bright side... just think you have owned 4 iPad 2's in a time period that most folks have yet to get one. :)

Also note that most owners of the company - i.e. most owners of apple stock - are institutions - and they use PCs! The owners of the company use mostly pc's not macs. Sure the management uses macs, but not the OWNERS of the company.
The owners are more concerned with the profits.
Ok I will relax now. thanks guys.

What would that have to do with the group of people who buy Mac Pros? They're not business people. They're primarily photographers and video people.
"What the shareholders use" is possibly the most irrelevant point raised in this thread.
Also, as has been pointed out, the iMacs are not that overpriced; especially given the cost of 27" IPS displays.
That said, people have always assumed cinema displays to be more overpriced than they actually were, if only because they weren't making like-for-like comparisons. It's less true now that LCD prices have been adjusted downwards after the price-fixing scandal, but a Dell 27" IPS display is still pretty expensive.
I'm not saying that doesn't have high prices - they do - but very frequently, people are not making a like-for-like comparison. Most notably in screens. I don't know of any iPad competitors that use IPS displays, and make no mistake: IPS displays are more expensive than the competition. Most people also don't care about display technology, but it matters to people in the photo/video field.

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..

You have no idea what happened.Sure, it's all speculation, apart from the fact that he drove off with her clinging to the hood, and continued for 35 miles, reaching very high speeds. This is more than enough by itself to qualify as attempted murder.

musicians who travel a lot (like me) would not be happy with this at all. the process of miniaturization has allowed us to fill up the free space with more junk. i love that my powerbook is small and (mostly) all it needs is built inside. i got enough to worry about with my ipod and external drive. and yeah, something feels very 80s about this. keep thinking apple.

Most people have dynamic IP addresses so how does EyeTV handle it when your IP address changes when you are watching it over the internet (not a local network).
EyeTV has a free service called My EyeTV which resolves the IP. You just need to register with your email address and a password, then within the EyeTV app on the iPhone you enter same and you can connect from anywhere. However, for all this to work you need the EyeTV application running on your Mac.
Similarly, there was a question about accessing your video from a network outside of your home (or whatever), yes, that works as long as you have registered via the My EyeTV service.

Love my Android... Sorry Apple, but I can't afford the iPhone.
Don't know why not; you can go down to Walmart* and get one for as little as $49.99. Probably still be better than your current Android phone--unless you paid more than $200 for your Android.

Yep, there was a story in the paper last week about how the National Australia Bank (we're talking billions upon billions of dollars, they've got fingers in pots all over the world, massive corporation and they employ thousands) has only just got around to rolling out XP over the old 2000 Pro systems. They won't be looking to upgrade to Vista for a few years yet.
I dare say it's the same for most big business, they don't want to risk anything by upgrading to the latest and greatest until it's had years of real-world testing and updates.
I work for a multi-billion-dollar, multi-national corporation that employs tens of thousands and has tens of thousands of computers, and the IT department recently sent out a memo that they are beginning the transition from Windows 2000 to Windows XP, to be finished sometime in 2008 (my desktop is scheduled to be upgraded to XP sometime in 2008). They spent 5 years of testing and tweaking their systems for Windows XP; it'll probably be at least 2012 before they upgrade to Vista.
I recently spoke to one of the CIOs, and he said they already have concerns about Vista because it incorporates functions into the OS that the IT group already uses third party software for. That means even more testing and tweaking than normal, and possibly a delay in adopting Vista while they wait for contracts with third-parties to expire.

I downloaded it using HiDownload but it just kept going past the marker. Finally I hit stop, but I'm left with an invalid file.
I've tried many-a-time to download the quicktime streams, with a large variety of mac and pc software. Every time it has left me stumped. I'f you really cant watch it (i.e demand is too high/you have a slow connection etc.) wait at least 3 days until most of the fans have watched it and showed their friends, set your quicktime preferences to a 128k/256k connection so you get a lower quality but faster stream, and watch it. It worked for me last WWDC and again in January.
Luckily this time im on a free uncapped DSL line at a Telecom wireless Hotspot in the Auckland CBD. Worked flawlessly :D

Outside the door to General Motors' Washington office is a photo of the Chevy Volt framed by the U.S. Capitol.
GM loves to market the Volt, the 2011 Motor Trend Car of the Year ("A car of the future you can drive today.") It's an engineering breakthrough, a darling of the "green" media and evidence that stodgy old GM knows how to innovate.
So why, I asked Mike Robinson, GM's vice president of environment, energy and safety policy, is GM selling so few Volts? Just 321 in January, 281 in February, according to GM's monthly sales report. By comparison, Chevy sold nearly 70,000 Silverado pickup trucks during those two months.
"We're on target," he assured me. "We've probably got orders for every one we can build in the next year." Chevy plans to sell 10,000 Volts this year, and another 45,000 next year and, if all goes well, a lot more after that.
link (http://www.greenbiz.com/blog/2011/03/25/why-gms-sustainability-chief-charged-about-volt#ixzz1HdK1btSl)
so, only about 600 volts this year? seems low.

I noticed that Other World Computing has posted their free Macworld Exhibition Hall pass (http://eshop.macsales.com/Macworld/) and was wondering who was planning to go to the show this year. I've used OWC's free pass every year for the past three years and have never had any problems. It's a great way to check out all your favorite developers and vendors.
So who else will be there, and who's traveling the farthest?
EDIT: We've put together a plan so that we can all get a chance to meet each other during MacWorld. Every day of the expo, there'll be an informal meet-up of MacRumors members at 3:00pm in the "Horseshoe Lounge" area of the South Hall's street-level lobby. Photos and diagram here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=3208175&postcount=64). No RSVP is required, and you're welcome to stop by just one day, or every day.
The Big Meet-Up
We're designating the first day of the Expo, Tuesday, Jan. 9th, as the BIG MEET-UP. It seems like most people are planning to be there that day, so it's the best chance to meet other MacRumors members. If you can only make it to one, this should be it. 3:00 at the horseshoe lounge location (http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=3208175&postcount=64).
Here's the list (so far) of MR members who have said they will be at Macworld:
1. Flowbee
2. vniow
3. devilot (maybe)
4. cuestakid
5. CHROMEDOME
6. screensaver400

Why would it be shared? There are 8 empty lanes so couldn't there be two x4 slots for TBs so both get their own?
You can get Thunderbolt SSD once the enclosures start to arrive in a month or two.
How many display port connections can be had (I know technically the Radeon cards can do 6)? I would imagine to do something other than display mirroring would require separate DPs (or usage of DP 1.2).
All we need is someone with a iMac to post up their System Profiler page showing the connection of the GPU/TB.

All i want is a smaller MBP.
15 inches is much too big IMO, at least for my needs.
I will be ready to buy around the end of Feb.
Hopefully by then I'll have a new release to spend $$ on.
