Mike Tyson Tattoos

Well I just spent over 100 bucks on these specials. Call of Duty 2 special was too good not to pass up and I always upgrade my .mac account on this day.

I am saving the rest of my money for a iPhone or new video iPod.

Seriously, you think Drs and CEOs need pressure sensitive styluses? You are the one being ridiculous.

The thing about all those lines, they are all true. You latch on to a single feature and try to use it to disqualify 1000s of unrelated use cases.

- most people, even professionals do not require any stylus to effectively use an iPad.
- there are dozens of good styluses for the iPad already. Some even do a decent job of approximating pressure sensitive. These syluses cover 95%+ of what the people who want styluses are looking for. The other 5% or trying to replace a specialized drawing device with an iPad.

So 5% of .01% care about pressure sensitive styluses. (I am being very generous here, the number is actually quite a bit smaller then that).

I do use a stylus on my iPad, every single day. I take notes with it and sign contracts....


i'm very surprised that you can defend the ipad's handwriting capabilities.

pressure sensitivity is not the issue.

when writing on ipad with a stylus you can not let any part of your hand rest on the screen, either that, or you can wear a crazy glove; this makes writing incredibly awkward.

but what's worse is the accuracy with which the stylus registers. the ipad was simply not built for this. lines come out jagged and disfigured. you can probably scribble something awful but readable. try drawing the simplest thing.

tell me i'm wrong.


as for your percentages:

what do people want to do with styluses? mostly write. some want to draw, artists, but also people that want to be able to sketch figures and ideas.

can the ipad do this effectively now? can a student take notes in class on an ipad? do you really think a student can take readable notes, fast enough, while writing with a 'hovering' hand?

tell me you do.

even if we said 100% of people simply want to be able to write, as on a regular pad, as i see it, all 100% will find the ipad dreadfully unsuitable.


yes, you can do a lot without a stylus. yes, i was unfair in my statements. yes, the ipad can still be useful.

is it MORE useful than a regular laptop? No. how could it be?

... if it had accurate stylus input.

yes, that would make it more expensive. in fact, what we're essentially talking about here is nothing more than a 'slate' tablet PC, which has been around forever. they're making a comeback thanks to the ipad, and i hope they will become the standard, for the higher end tablets anyways. they are more expensive than ipads, but they're actual computers that run full operating systems. they have touch and they have pen input.

that's a direction Apple should have gone in a long time ago. i hope, hope, hope they will go there in the future.

Anyone who says that is taking the mickey. As a mac user of over a decade I can say I'm quite happy that I can run Windows 7 on my mac.

People on both sides of the OS war (or the console war, or Pepsi/Coke war, or the Marvel/DC war, etc.) are either trolls or severely lacking in the "life" department.

+1 I'd say.

Use winXP everyday; more than my mac.
Use win7 for beta-testing apps in the office.

Great OS's; I just wish MS do something in the usability department. Or may be I'm using it wrong.

About damn time too...

Looking forward to shooting with this new gear...

Nice kit

who are you kidding? what part of iphone is not previously existed in technology? yay it has a nice UI, like all other apple products, but the hardware?


remind me, again, what's revolutionary about iPhone?



that they were able to put all that together and package it in a consumer friendly way

I think you'll find movie distrubution rights outside of USA have the same problems as TV SHOW downloads outside of USA. In other words we wont get any lol, in much the same way as we cant download from the new Amazon movie download servers in the UK. I dont know who actually runs the european side of Apple but they want sacking lol, over a year and no new content outside of USA lol. I'll still follow the feeds though lol cos I'm sad like that :)

Dear macrumors newbie and all the others who simply don't get this,

I can only assume none of you have either a creative or entrepreneurial gene in your bodies. Even if all you hope to be is moderately successful at communicating , an appreciation of the work of ad agencies would be useful.

I designed my first ad when I was 19. It was a poster for a charity disco. We made money. Unconsciously I had distilled all the information I needed from all the ads I'd seen up to that point, and made something that worked. It was never as easy ever again.

If you ever want to be really successful and maybe even wealthy, then this app is vital. All the current iAds in one place - no searching needed. For goodness sake use your imaginations, please.

Yeah, I get it: Apple's iAd venture is doing really badly so they created this app to try to drum up some new business.

This app is vital if I want to be successful or wealthy? Huh?:confused:

You should have used Philip Endecott's code.

Personally, I would be surprised if they didn't eventually use AMD CPU's.

1. Digg had an article on AMD's line of upcoming CPU's which are CPU's and GPU's on one die. Given Apple's history of pushing more and more onto the video cards, this new line seems perfect for Apple.

P.S. Just went to digg to get the link, and AMD is moving to 65nm in 2007. faster, less heat.

Thank you for providing those interesting links and slides of AMDs future roadmap, this should go well with Anandtech article (http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2379&p=12) and the fact that AMD just released a stream processor board (http://www.tgdaily.com/2006/11/14/amd_stream_processor/) to show all the people that CELL processor is the blueprint for future processor development and well ahead of it's time. It will require new programming techniques and algorithms but we will also see new levels of performance. And yes, I am a CELL processor fan boy, 5 years from now everyone will be without even realizing it. :p

EDIT: Ah I almost forgot, AMD and IBM have a close relationship, they have worked and are working on many projects so I guess there might be some connection in it afterall.

Is it just me, or is the writing on the 3rd photo a bit skewed, or rotated in an odd way?

You're entirely right, it does. It makes sense that the awkward image is the oldest too, since that was the earliest image. The other ones are a bit better because they obviously took time. The angles however on the back of the device, going from the middle out to the corners, are just awkward though.

I don't see how they would go back to angles after touting the more curved and comfortable 3G / 3GS back. There was a big focus on how much more comfortable the new iPhone was to hold compared to the first.

Regardless of the validity, I personally think the chances are very high for a unibody type iPhone, it only makes sense. Apple did a unibody macbook (plastic). Its Apple, everything standardizes and is consistent, otherwise Steve's head will explode.

You could be right too, especially that last line. Things are almost always uniform. However, when the iPod Classic went to metal, and the iPhone went to plastic, that was an unexpected switch. The iPhone has never really been "in line".

is there any way we can view our own tracked info. it would be cool to see where i have been.

Do people just read the titles on these thing and forgets there is an actual article under it IT'S NOT U LOCATION!!!!!! ITS CROWD SOURCED!!!!!

This is good the slider metaphor was very annoying and slow to use.

I can't imagine why Apple would have an event like this if there was going to be only Disney content available.

You need a new imagination. Or at least remember back to when they had an event to release TV videos, and only ABC content was available.

Not to mention that there will be iPod and streaming hardware announced as well.

So who is going to watch Snow White?
No... Bambi?
Or what about Lady and the Tramp?

FYI, "Disney" also includes Miramax, Hollywood Pictures, and Touchstone. That's hundreds of movies for adults.

Oh my god...

did Apple seriously just make pointing fingers apart of their campaign?

I thought they were above that!

I understand that it's unfair that the other companies do that and all, but Apple really doesn't need to stoop to their level, do they?

They're not stooping. They are defending their product by demonstrating that the issue is not unique to their phone. I think most people instinctively knew this before the iPhone - telling someone that holding a phone a certain way might reduce the signal would have resulted in a shoulder shrug. Of course it will, it's a radio.

The N1 can't maintain a 3G signal when touched, period. Yet it didn't cause this kind of outcry because it wasn't from Apple.

Even though I own two iPhone 4's, I still think that it is definitely the most overrated phone ever.

Honestly if it weren't for those art and photography apps, I would have more Android/webOS phones. I really like the iPhone 4 but it isn't the end all and be all.

True.. But studies have shown that iPhone owners have more intercourse (decided to use the proper term) than Android phone owners. So I could see it resembling a status symbol.

Even though I own two iPhone 4's I never experienced being a meat sandwich so that survey is mostly bullshiznit.

Honestly, I don't buy the iPhone to show off but because it is a photography tool for my art studio.

Whenever an Adroid user gives me any crap, I just say one thing to them and it always shuts them up.

"battery life"

Works all the time. :D

Wrong my Motorola Defy gets just as good battery life as my iPhone 4. (I own one too) and plus I can do swimming with it.

Something that the iPhone 4 I own can't do!!!!!! :p

Peoplle hated Paris Hilton too and look how hot she was...

Paris Hilton is overrated and she isn't hot either. So there.

GF and I just switched. Ive had Tmobile for 11 years and the Iphone but I am sick of edge. Just got done JB and using mywi as we speak, alot faster!

Watch out, everyone here will bitch at you for using over 1gb of "unlimited" data...
