Sorry, but whether I have guns in my house with my kids is not anyones business but my own.

Is asking if the gun is locked up and out of the kids reach really crossing the line?

I don't get why people would get so worked up over that. Is it weird for a pediatrician to ask if the gun is locked up? Sure, but I don't think it crosses any boundaries.

Can we please burn them so we can watch films on normal DVD players!


Not gonna happen. Apple will let you watch in the living room, it will just be via wireless streaming.

Eventually it just has to be called "iPhone". No numbers, and certainly no asinine feature indicators. Internally it will be "iPhone (nth generation)", and the previous model on sale for $99 (or $49) will be "iPhone (previous generation)", just like iPods. Same goes for the iPad. Seriously, 10 years from now what are they going to call it... the iPhone 14s? This makes sense how?

Film content from Fox and Dreamworks?!

Look at the german Quicktime page, bottom left, under "iTunes Videos": Transporter 2 from Fox and Red Eye from Dreamworks!!

yeah! Also in the Netherlands FWIW

As long as it is MEANINGFUL to run OS/X on generic PCs, technical solutions (and ever better ones for that matter) will always be found.

The only way for Apple to safeguard OS/X from generic machines is to make such hacking MEANINGLESS. The solution is not in security technologies such as TPM but in MARKETING: Building machines that are evidently cheaper, beautiful, feature-rich and FASTER than the competition.

(Same goes for iPod and DRM, which was also cracked recently).

There aren't exactly good public restroom options for a transgendered person. I think when it comes to restrooms, you probably should pick the door that reflects the body parts as you have them, not how you want them. Wouldn't these same girls be widely considered justified if this was some skeevy guy in a trench coat?

Does anyone know if there is an affirmative duty for non-security employees to intervene in fistacuffs.

(edit) I can't watch the video, but I'll take your word that no one called the police. If so, that may subject the entity to liability for failure to minimally protect customers. The yelling may be despicable, but that won't be enough to subject McDonalds to liability.

I like this feature, however I definitely think there needs to be a counter for both positive and negative votes. If the counter says "0" we have no idea how many votes that post recieved as there could be an equal number of +/- votes- which wouldn't tell us much of anything, would it?

Edit: Or am I not understanding how the counters work?

To stick with Steve's 4 main points:
1) Time Capsule is pretty neat, not a terrible price for what it is, either.
2) iPhone software looks pretty nice. iPod touch update is a travesty against all mankind... I think Apple is seriously underestimating the backlash this will cause.
3) The ATV updates are nice, price drop is decent, but not nearly enough for year old hardware with no upgrades. Software only update means HD content will be 720p24@5mbits which is pretty OK but not what I would have liked to see. 5.1 finally.
4) Macbook Air: stupid, stupid name. Crazy insane pricing, especially when you add the SD, ethernet, remote, and modem (you really should have all those in the box at $1800). Who's going to be buying this thing? It's just so targeted at a very specific market that I can't see it being a huge success.

As for stuff that DIDN'T get talked about:
- No desktop updates at all. I predict Apple getting out of the consumer desktop market in the next 2-3 years. No more iMac or mini.
- No tablet. They could have done a <$1000 multitouch 9" iSlab tablet thingy that would have been as light and thin as the Air and actually revolutionized something, but... shrug.
- iTunes subscription. Now that they have a self destructing DRM scheme in Fairplay I expected a subscription for TV shows, at least.

All in all, unexciting, really.

A lot of people seem to hate on Apple products just because they're made by Apple.

I don't know of instances of Apple fans signing up on competitors forums, yet that seems to happen with some regularity around here. I'm not saying Apple fans don't antagonize competitors, but from my experience it's usually the other way around, as you point out.

movies and gaming video :rolleyes:

Whatta Fu**!????????????????????????? :eek:

Who is the background voice, is it another sibling or the girl saying I don't want to get pat down?

No, the voice is not saying that at all. I'm not even sure you could twist the words around enough to make them sound like "I don't want to get pat down".

It's out of context but still ridiculous.

Don't you mean PS3's?

I just pre-orded mine today for the:D launch date

Oops. I guess it's pretty obvious thet I never made it past the PSone. :o

You won't be able to make phone calls in that house. And then Steve will release youtube videos showing how nobody can make phone calls from their houses, either. ;)

Ohh free junk! I only assume that based upon the free stuff I received when I purchased form them in the past. I have also dealt with that company before, and never again! BTW, their price is not immediate, their discount is in the form of a rebate. :rolleyes:

Tax? Not really an issue for me, I am registered under a non profit org (have been for 3 years now), so because of this I am able to write it off. I just didn't have my paperwork with for me to get the Macbook Tax free today, so I get a $62 rebate from the government in a couple months. ;) .

So in the end, I saved a $1 over the option you brought up, got it today, and I don't have useless junk to deal with on top of it :) .



That is the only thing that interests me from their offer!



Whatever makes you feel better about it. :D

There is one positive to buying from the apple store. If the screen is bad or if you have a problem you can take it back and swap it for a new one.

[Nevermind. Took a bit of searching, but I eventually found it. Curiously, for me, it did not show up when I searched for Apple]

Am I the only one not finding this on the App Store?

Reality check, bought World at War - i didnt play it for more than 1hour
bought Modern Warfare 2 - played for about 1.5 hours

Now i'm tempted to pick this up even though I havent finished any of those others simply because the game supports stereoscopic 3D...

Anyone tried 3D?

Hm maybe they loaded in the prices and everything then they'll 'flick the switch' on the prices once Black Friday officially begins?

In other words, it is now more fair to everyone because you just need to be in the App Store rather than having to submit your app specifically to be considered.

In other words, it's less fair to everyone, because you have to fork over $0.30 of every $1.00 you make to Apple in order to be part of the Mac App store just to be in the running for the design award.

It's going to be interesting to see if open-source products win any awards whatsoever this year. In the past, several have brought home awards.

But I digress, as the new Big Brother on the block, I had almost forgot that "Apple knows best".

I have to say-- I was with Verizon for 4 years before getting the iPhone. I *knew* (meaning I told myself prior to) that getting the iPhone would mean worse service and coverage, but I bit the bullet and went with it anyway.

Having said that, AT&T has not been nearly as bad as I imagined. Hardly any dropped calls, and although coverage was a little better with Verizon, there are actually several places I get AT&T service now that I did not with Verizon. So it's pretty even I'd say.

The only issue I have sometimes is when I'm at like a sporting event or something in Philly I can sometimes not get service because of network overload.

klaus,
so, based on your experience, we can still say the "new" 23s are junk? That really is upsetting.

I gave up on 23s a while ago, although I would really like the increased resolution. I agree with what you said, for the price we pay, we should get quality and consistency, (especially with a company that really pushes dual screen configurations) There is NOTHING more irritating than when the monitors dont "match"

That's no industry setting price point. For that price you can buy the DVD. watch it, load it on your ipod and the sell it on e-bay.

G'Day Tangles, welcome to the boards. You're right though, US$20 is a lot of money compared to DVD prices.

Oh I hope you get the Tangles reference, otherwise I've just made a goose of myself.

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.

I just opened iTunes and it ask me if I wanted to update...

wow the iOS/Apple closed ecosystem must really be the WORSE THANG EVAR if google is trying to trying to do it.

Everyone's just a hypocrite..

Android is "closed"... an open system would be a Linux one where you can chop and change every part of the system right down to the kernel. Not gonna happen with mobile devices without hacking IMO.
