getting the option to rent movies on itunes will be great. hell even to rent with a burn to disc option would be even better.
I'm happy apple is moving in this direction. however. need them to offer laptops with 160GB hard drives. so we can travel with a whole bunch of movies and tv shows on the hard drive when we are on the go.
yeah i know it's alot of room, but some of us have tons of aac/mp3 files.

I think a lot of people are thinking too much about their high school experiences with burning up strips of Magnesium, if the nano was to be made out of Magnesium, it would be as flame proof as any other metal/plastic and if the weight is decreased, this could be a nice bonus.
Plus, Aluminium is really energy consuming to make, before WW2, it was a luxury metal, one of the rarest and most valuable metals. With the oil price going up, it is hardly surprising that the Al prices go up too, and people start looking for alternatives
If the rumor is correct, and Apple is still Apple, this change will mean:
Lighter iPod Nano/Shufffle
Cheaper (relatively)
Sexier (according too previous posters)
More scratch resistant (this will be the case whatever material is used)
add these to a larger flash drive and a new sexy design, and the Argo will have no chance whatsoever:)

Hast he blinder ever failed? All the Will it Blend videos I have watch is everything blends.
Their office is across the parking lot from ours, and I watched them blend the iPhone 3GS (actually they used my Red Camera #63 to film it) and on the first take, the phone fell to the bottom of the jar, and when they tried to blend it the phone jammed the blade and kept it from getting up to speed. The blender groaned, you could see the pressure from the blade pushing on the back of the phone all the way through to the LCD, then the blender gave up and stopped. iPhone WIN! Wonder if I have the footage of the iPhone beating the blender... they probably wouldn't want that out there anyway.
On the second take they were careful to make sure the phone was sitting on the blade when they started it.

Not in light of the fact the G5 is only one core while the iMacIntel has two. :( Seems to me like it's more impressive one 2GHz G5 core holds it's own up against two C2D cores running faster.
Photoshop CS2 Suite:
Power Mac G5 Quad 2.5 ghz: 0:46 s
Mac Pro Quad Xeon 2.66 ghz: 0:54 s
Same number of cores and similar clock: the Mac Pro more than holds its own. Pretty darn impressive, actually, if you ask me. At those levels, I don't see why you'd hold off getting a Mac Pro (if Photoshop is what pays the bills for you).

If Apple really went green they'd make everything out of recycled plastic.
Correct.
Many would be surprised at the excellence of CFRP. It has ideal properties for use in laptops. Very light, strong, great looking and extremely durable. It can be finished in a natural matte or shiny. Paint is also an option which is every bit as durable due to the way it bonds with CFRP. When it comes right down to it, their are several choices for Apple.

How is $50 for a new video game "kind of steep"? The price of video games has not changed too much in the past several decades. I paid $45 for Quest for Glory 2, which came out in 1990, which is not too far off from $50 (inflation not included, either). With the exception of new A-list games on PS3 and Xbox 360 (generally starting closer to $60), the price of many games has gone down, especially for PCs.
It might be interesting to see if games for phones become a profitable revenue stream for game developers since they can skip several of the middle men via downloading games, instead of through traditional retail.
One thing which has surprised me is how many Portal 2 advertisements I've seen on buses or billboards. I've rarely seen video games advertised to such an extent, so that was certainly different.
There are several factors that go into it. First and foremost, he mentioned the original game was kinda short. Something that could probably be beaten between the 10-15 hour mark by a newbie. If Portal 2 is just as short, it's not worth the full retail price since the average game typically lasts at least three days and usually can go as far up as 72 hours of playtime.
This isn't a major concern for me though. The reason Valve gives in their developers comments for original portal being such a short pack-in was to test the waters for this strange concept. If Portal didn't take off like it did, it'd be no big investment to cry over. Now that they see it's a success, they'll be willing to take more risks to make it a worthy standalone product.
Another factor is that downloadable games don't have printed materials, shipping costs and other middleman costs associated with them. The average price of a downloadable game tends to be $10-20 cheaper than a physical version of the same product. Similarly Aperature costs $200 in brick and morter retail stores but only $80 from Apple's App Store.
In most cases I'd probably rather pay more for the certain rights of ownership physical media entitles me to and this is no exception since I'm getting the PS3 edition, even though I'll probably play more on my computer. However Valve's platform seems much more respectful of the end user than other digital download services, with the relatively low level of restrictiveness (for DRM) with concepts like Steamplay.

This entire scenario is playing out like Windows / MacOS part 2 -- the vertically integrated MacOS (hardware + OS coming from same source) is beaten into obscurity by the OS that is available on a multitude of devices from many different manufacturers.
Every percentage point that Android ticks higher -- every million more Android customers that sign on due to BOGOs and heavily subsidized phones -- makes their customer base the more enticing one to develop for.
This type of competition won't keep Apple "honest and innovative" -- it'll just lead to what we saw before in the 80s and 90s: top software going to the competing platform with Apple grabbing at scraps.
I agree 100% save for the "honest" Apple part. I know what you meant though.
You are absolutely right IMHO. it will take some time to topple over the behemoth that Apple's App Store is but I doubt it will remain the best for years to come. Any developer wanting to make money will need to code for both platforms and $$$$ doesn't lie or fall into hype or hysteria.
If an app is good . . . and available on both platforms the devo will make BREAD on the Android side. . . . fragmentation or not.

Biggest problem with Veloster: it needs a more powerful engine. Maybe Hyundai will see it fit to install the 173 bhp 2.4-liter I-4 found on the current Kia Forte, which would give the Veloster a needed performance boost. :)

It's the same here at the University of Illinois @ Urbana-Champaign, particularly in the computer science department. Powerbooks, MacBooks and MBP's everywhere :) - and while I heard a lot of Mac hate, even from myself, a few years ago - that's almost completely evaporated.
We also just got a second (well a real) Apple Store/resaler - and for only being a 10x10' store, I rarley see less than 4-5 people in there browsing.

It's for a great cause. Putting CPU/GPU cycles to good use. The whole points thing makes it kinda competitive and lures people in. lol.
Watch out for that motherboard. My 950 ran fine OC'd but committed suicide with the beastie 970.
i agree.
thanks, i will. i just have a 930 in it. and right now it's not OC'd that much

She is on the hood, and you are prevented from moving.
What the Hell do you call that??A problem. He should have called the police if there was no other way to extricate himself. Driving at 100mph with someone clinging to the front of the car is simply not an acceptable option.
Both should be thrown in jail and left to rot.Again, he should have called the police. What should she be charged with? Is she or is she not the victim of attempted murder?

What were your cuttings?
Oh awesome - thanks for the information.
Both of my cuttings are on my inner biceps (sp?) - on the left is a "Chi" (18th letter of Hebrew alphabet - symbolizes life) which I got when I was having some problems with, well, living. On the right is a triple moon goddess symbol, which seemed appropriate given my witchcraft. Actually, this one is a bit more aesthetic to me as well - I got it because I like it and like it because it is what it is.

Good on France. We need to do something similar. I find it is daft that I cannot wear a hoodie in a shop and yet muslim women ware allowed veils.
hmm a hoodie is part of you culture so you should be allowed to wear one , thats why its called "hoodie culture" or
but there is a small line between doing how you please and anarchy

If those screenshots are real, the iCal update looks very disappointing. Though you can't tell much from a single screenshot, it looks like the iCal update is more a cosmetic update rather than a feature update. The only new feature I can see in that screenshot is something about new event notifications, but that's hardly what people have been clamoring for.

They solved the case fast. Probably lots of informers working at Foxcon. Or, they have no clue and merely arrested three hapless expendable workers in order to scare the rest.
Any Foxcon story is a good story.

I ordered my iPad 2 at 10:00 p.m. on 3/11 and was originally given a ship date of 4/1.
I just received notification (late last night) that it's shipped and will be arriving on 3/30.
Looks like Apple is getting caught up on orders to me...

Why don't you atheists and non-Christian followers grow a pair already? You want us to respect the fact that you walk the Earth, too, and don't share our religious beliefs, so how about you do the same, ok?
Isn't it funny how Christians consistently seem to think respecting 'the fact that you walk the Earth, too' means forcing retailers to celebrate their holiday? Meanwhile, Kwanzaa is respectfully declared to be 'made-up' while the birth and resurrection of Jesus are declared indisputable historical facts.
Quite a few of the founding fathers were not Christian, by the way. Notably Thomas Jefferson.
Sorry to divert the thread, but the little baby's Christian rant caught my eye.
