the gap between office 2011 on mac and office 2011 on windows is very tiny now.

That's enough reason for me not to buy it. The ridiculous illogical placement of buttons on that damned ribbon destroys the user experience to such an extent that I can live with iWorks only.

It's about time Microsoft starts talking to actual users. I work in the typical MS Office business environment and I have NEVER met anyone who is completely happy with the user experience of the office package.

Its actually a quite clever design and means that the iProducts 30pin connector can be relevant for many more years to come.

can you please explain to me (or provide a link where it's explained) the benefits of using a 30 pin connector in comparison to a usb port? is it maybe so that apple can sell more adaptors? (i'm not sarcastic on this one, i'd really like to know)

You all keep saying "they'll never do home button as capacitive because you could accidently rub it and tear you out of your movie/browsing/app/etc".

What if it responded to the accelerometer as well? The latest gem is in Garageband which can register a soft touch to hard tap for instruments through the accelerometer. Honestly I wouldn't mind have a home button that was gesture responsive too. Start with your thumb on the home button, swipe up, right or left for functionality. Or perhaps the home button only responds when you swipe onto it.

Publicity stunt?

Probably.
A hint that people should relax on all the war talk.

Companies doesn't have to be at war just because they have similar products aimed at roughly the same markets. There's a huge difference between competitors and enemies. Between competition and war.

Most companies actually consider competition to be a good thing. Personally I want both Apple and Google to succeed. Both are innovators. I depend on their products on a daily basis. I use Googles stuff on Apples stuff to learn more about both Apples stuff and Googles stuff.

Keep up the chatting Steve and Eric.

I am running the Award Winning folding widget on 10.3.9 using amnesty.

COOL

you can find your user number in the panel to the left of your profile, above user summary. In my case the number is 125107.

That's debatable. Apple's reputation in business/enterprise support has never been stellar. Meanwhile, Google literally Velcro together their server farms, using cheap hardware that is vulnerable to failure at single points but is collectively resilient and efficient.

These are extreme ends of the spectrum that I'm using as examples, though.

Google literally Velcro's their server farms? Dang, I should try that.

Jobs is a robot sent from another planet, all they have there are black turtle necks and jeans.

Stevey is ballin.

Question for folks who have gone (or purchased ticket voucher). From the looks of it, you buy a voucher, which you then redeem online for a ticket, correct? Can you buy the voucher now, but fill in the attendee ticket details at a later time? I'm going to buy, but there's the off chance I won't be able to attend, so I'd like to give the ticket to someone else.

Yes. I got mine this morning, and buying a ticket is separate from activating it. After you buy, you'll get a link to activate it, and you could forward that link to someone else if you can't go. Once one person activates it, however, it becomes non-transferable.

I had to delete the Facebook app and reinstall for the push notification options to come up on my phone. Did try restarting the phone before that but made little difference.

I've done both those things as well but the push still is not working for me.

Just buy T-Mobile. Its cheap and compatible with the current iphone hardware. Looks like its worth around 10 billion. They could just write a check. Its actually right up apple's alley given their hostorical desire to control everything under the umbrella. They would obviously have to make significant investments to to get the network up to par with ATT and Verizon, but the returns are there. The iphone would be untouchable if Apple controlled the networks. They would change the whole industry. Better yet, Deutch Telekom wants to sell.

Right now in NYC you can walk in the Apple store anytime and get the Verizon iPad. ATT models are extremely hard to find.

So how is it that Verizon is preferred???... (I know why but I'll let you guess...:))

This is not surprising. All the Chinese resellers who were buying iPads in NYC are unlikely to buy the Verizon CDMA, because it cannot be used abroad. The GSM version (i.e. the ATT version) is one that can be used in most places abroad, as long as the iPad is unlocked.

The above three posts are my best effort translating. That PC guy talks insanely fast. ;)

So I wasn't the only one that thought that too.... clean Nihongo, but fast Nihongo.

I think they're pretty dang funny, even if it is a direct translation.

Unless you need Office for work...just use Open Office folks, save your money;)

If the Intel chips burn 100W, then 9% conversion efficiency would generate 9W of electricity. In absolute terms, that's not too bad. You can do a lot with 9W. If you have a 5 hour battery life now, and can use these on all the major power sinks, you'd get 5.5 hours of battery life.
Hold up! 9% is and Ideal Carnot Engine efficiency. Real World efficiecny would be about 1/5. So, at most you are going to get 1.8W and thats if the fans dissipate 100W of heat which is ridiculously high number. I would see it around 20W, meaning your recycled energy would be .37W. What can you do with that? Oh right power partially a fan.

Yeah, only a couple 1000 25MB pictures would fit on a Ipad 64GB, not near enough. :rolleyes:

Well lets see by my current usage that is 2 weekends worth of shots since i fill up 4 8GB cards. And who would imagine i would want access to all of my pictures or at least a months worth at a time and other things like apps, music and videos. :rolleyes:

Nearing 30 at University.

No problems here on AT&T iPhone 4 iOS 4.3.

This is a Microsoft level problem, Apple! You aren't noobs. Get it right!

Anything beats the embarrassment that Apple has in the current iOS.

You've gotta get worse to get better ;) I really want iOS 5 to have this... especially on the iPad. But with mission control I wonder if this is really the direction things are going?

While I agree, I just can't come to think of any other way to display the phones OS. And with pushing ios like apps on the Lion, I just do not see a new look happening. Not when it is so popular. Notifications on the other hand....

People seem to be moaning (no offence intended) about iOS notifications a lot recently but I don't remember it happening before a couple of months ago. Why is that? I'm a Mac user but not an iOS user so I wasn't aware they sucked so much.

First off Kodak doesn't even have to use its patents necessarily to sue, but clearly they have over the years since they've been making digital cameras and printers for quite some time. If you want to check each an every Kodak product for patent numbers, knock yourself out! :D


If someone says they use the patents, the burden is on them to prove it, not on me to disprove it.

And if they DO use the patents but they do not mark the patent number on them, they can't sue for past damages. If they do NOT use the patents, it shows the patents are not worth much because they are easy to avoid, and hence reasonable royalty damages will be very low, if not $0.

Read the news much lately ?

The ITC has decided to review that judge's ruling. It's still on.

Yes - all they've decided to do is REVIEW it. They've overturned nothing. And the overturn rates are very low.

I'm sure apple is pissed because he is helping delay the white version by buying all the cases.

STEVE: Do you have any idea how badly I wanna kill you?
ERIC: Yes.

Bravo. You are my hero. :D

Funny thing is... LOST is easier to understand and less secretive at this point!

"Mummy, why is that man watching those naked people doing things to each other." :p


"Because he's a pervert, son. Stop staring at his screen and keep watching how the American hero slaughters evil terrorists with his machine gun on your TV screen."

Technically, people were able to watch porn on their notebooks during a flight, and so far this hasn't been an issue, has it?

I expect that 10.4.8 will be required for Aperture 1.5 (as OS updates are normally required to add RAW support for new cameras). A post on another forum (arstechnicas iirc) by someone who was at Photokina and had talked to someone from Apple said that Aperture 1.5 was scheduled to be available for download at the end of the show (October 1st)...

Aperture 1.5 lists 10.4.7 as the minimum requirement
