I think the Apple adverts are ingenious! (did i spell that right?) i have to admit it made me turn to apple.

There's a Housewives of Nebraska??? Sounds interesting, do they keep their trailers clean? :D

No they don't. They're too busy goin' to tractor pulls and Tea Parties.

DVD's are cheap, people have DVD drives makes sense to have it available as ONE of the formats. Why do users other than MBA owners need to have it come on a thumb drive?

I think you probably should have gotten a machine with a graphics card if you wanted to play 3d games.
bdj21ya, meet sarcasm. Sarcasm, bdj21ya.

And this is just the front�

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Before all you Apple fannies disagree with this; just remember Apple is trying to sue everyone else too.

It's all ridiculous.

OK, now that we'll have iPod integration on flights from major airlines... And there's talk of broadband access in-flight at some point in the near future. Hmmm... I can see it now. Steve's plan is to have the iPod integration in place so that the next time I'm on a 14 hour flight, I have nothing to do but play with my iPod and shop the iTunes store. ...World domination, one small step at a time.

Buying a movie or music while in-flight would be very cool!

Yep, this is an awesome app. You have to manually download the BETA version of Air Video Server for it to do Video Airplay though. The regular release does not support it.

The speed increase in the recent Server betas is fantastic. Seeking while watching live transcoded videos went from unusably slow to almost instantaneous.

You have a RFID tag in some item you wear. Like your belt.

You set the phone to automatically disable if it can't see your tag. If you lose it or it is stolen, it will automatically lock up. And unlock when you come back. Seamlessly.

lets see, DB2 is just as expensive if not more. mysql and postgres suck compared to SQL server. we do use them a little. mysql is good for websites but not for internal databases. it's missing a lot of features that SQL and Oracle have because the former CEO is a moron and only put in features to make it standards compliant. i don't think it even had a x64 version back in 2006.

AD is a killer solution for internal IT. it sucks for customer facing ldap, but for your employee database it's great. integrates with MS exchange and upgrades over the years are easy.

This lot on these boards are amazing. Incredible what this place has devolved into.

If you people were all here 14 years ago, I guess you would have TORN INTO Apple for hiring Tim Cook from the "beige" PC maker?


or the other execs who came from macromedia and IBM

Actually there is an option to turn the indicator light on, in System Prefs. I think quitting, closing and opening apps is perfect the way it is.

... to apease old school folks like yourself. It's off by default. OSX has always been about not having to think about managing the OS and focusing on being productive, creative and enjoying the purpose of the computer. Letting the OS manage system resources is the next logical step.

Apps don't need to be running if they're not being used. If the OS saves all work and opening an app is nearly instantaneous, then there is no difference between a running app or a closed app running some services in the background.

Nonetheless, the ability to turn the lights back on is a temporary transitional ability. It will no doubt be gone in the OS after Lion and only few people clinging to the past will look to turn them on.

I can't upgrade my phone untill sept so if they can hold off the release of the iPhone 5 i'd be super greatful :D

You could always hold off till the iPhone 6 comes out...... :p

The bottom line is that the Christmas number one is a popularity contest. It is meant to be what record is the most popular at that time of year.

Until last Monday no one had even heard the X factor song, so given that Killing in the Name has been around for 17 years means it was already more popular, how can an unknown song be most popular? People are just buying Joe McEldery because it's the X Factor song, not because of how good it is. Most of them probably only buy one single a year! Fair enough, a lot of them will end up unwanted presents!

The whole thing was for most people just a bit of fun, most of the participants are fully aware of the irony of being asked (told) to buy that song given its lyrics. I think to suggest otherwise is mis-judging people.

Having looked at a couple of chart websites already, it makes me smile to see that for once X Factor isn't going down in history with another Christmas number one.
:cool:

It will be released this week to tie in with the Aperture 1.5 update, which I believe requires 10.4.8 (if only for updated RAW support).

#1 there is no front page news here... Sesiously people? It's two guys having coffee and one overheard line someone claims of heard without any real substance or context.

...but to add to the humor aspect going on here... I think Jobs wears the same thing every day to express solidarity with all the Apple users that have to settle for fewer choices and options than PC users.

You want blu-ray? Look I want a shirt I don't pull over my head every morning, but I get by..
You want a replaceable battery in your iPhone? Look I want a different pair of shoes but I get by...
You want USB ports on the iPad? Look I want to wear shorts some time, but I get by...

You do realize one of these "guys" is being indirectly sued by the other don't you ?

Never strive to be normal.

Still, although I enjoy using my PowerBook and iPodTouch I would love to have an iPad. Nice bit of engineering.

Here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=1480891#post1480891), now don't go around saying I never do anything for you :D.

I was actually going to post that before I even read your request, but I figured for sure someone would beat me to it.
Darned, shouldn't have asked.
But thx, You rock dude! :D

According to US law, a trademark holder MUST defend their trademarks, or they risk losing them. Google is struggling with this, as they're trying to encourage people not to use it as a generic verb.

Wikipedia Linky (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain#Trademark)

The question is, what trademark is Apple defending? Going after a podcasting company when all you have trademarked is the iPod may be trying to stretch your trademark a bit far.

Do not take it wrong, the English was not correct, he wanted a translation, but he asked what did the woman say.

Well, then, let me make you happy. You're going to be the last person of the day, so why not... :)

With regards to aforementioned website containing a video clip of a Japanese woman demonstrating a stunningly simple technique wherein in three rapid moves she folds a t-shirt to a certain predefined size and shape;

AND WHEREAS she gives a narration of the process in the Japanese language;

AND WHEREAS MikeTheC is not literate in Japanese and therefore cannot make any direct use or sense of the spoken Japanese instructions;

AND WHEREAS this thread, having nothing really to do with the ancient Japanese art of folding t-shirts, but yet heavily discussing Japanese commercials and Apple's renewed presence in them;

I would humbly request that, should someone here have an over-abundance of time on their hands, time which is of such sufficient abundance that they cannot otherwise fill it, and is suitably and/or sufficiently bored, AND who happens to be fluent in Japanese, if it would please or in some small way entertain you, please enter by way of the standard electronic form, written in English, the substance of what the afore-referenced Japanese instructor said as she gave the afore-mentioned and afore-referenced instructions in Japanese.

Thank you.

Sadly I'm bored with 3dS titles. Now back to playing DSI titles on it.

Who honestly cares? Lame. I saw a black guy and a mexican guy chatting outside a bookstore yesterday. Let's focus on that.

Were they with a priest??

Wow.

Here in the UK the amount of tax is based upon the CO2 emissions from a car, so larger engines generally incur a higher penalty. However, if you are insistent on buying a large expensive 4x4 for example, I don't think the amount of tax is really going to put you off.

I pay �125 per year for a 2.0 litre TDI

Vehicle Excise Duty should be put on fuel, not based on the car; it's not the car you drive, it's the amount of fuel used - a driver using 2 gallons in a small car versus another using 1 gallon in a large car.

As mentioned, if they can tax it then they will - electricity, hydrogen ...

Cheers,
OW

this is awesome!!! you know sharing of information can and usually does go both ways:apple::cool:
