maybe those with private baths for each bedroom care more about their guests/kids than you?

Maybe that's not an axiom for "degree of caring" for some people. To the contrary, and considering that Jobs seems to have an affinity to some Japanese aesthetic sensibilities, the "eating, sleeping, loving, and relaxing" imperative for family space presumes some degree of sharing of such spaces with no negative notion of "lesser". To make all such facilities that private makes them isolated, stifling the family-oriented intimacy of the desired imperative. Perhaps more so, the extra bedrooms get only part-time use, so there is no need to commit extensive resources full-time to serving each of them individually (see prior comments on why no library/gym/sauna/screening-room/etc.).

they don't think they deserve better than others.

"Deserve" is a loaded term here.
It's his home. You're a guest therein. Yes, the homeowner gets the best facilities therein, and only the snooty see that as a snub. If nothing else, he's there and using some areas full-time/daily, while guests are occasional.

Of late I'm more struck by how many people presume everyone else must think like them, and impute malice where others don't. Whither celebrating diversity?

I agree you guys blow. what the hell?

do you think apple is doing this because apple will release a limited edition product like only 200 of something

I believe the scope of a wireless iPod, or any other mass distributed wireless product, will go further than music and playlists. It�s already implemented in museums, etc. as downloadable tour guides; when you enter a town you can get your hands on local maps, local news, history; we might soon see ad boards that will allow you to download more info on products and services � there are endless possibilities.


Your idea sounds a lot like Bill Gate's smart fridge telling the us that our milk is going bad and that we should buy a new carton the next time we are at the supermarket.:D :D

Why would they go with AMD when there is the Core2Duo? AMD needs something big to compete. AMD? I can't see it.

I was there at the beginning - in & out 3 times.

OS X you've been the Apple of my eye since the beginning!
:apple:

I have to say, this is the dumbest idea I've ever seen come out of Cupertino. Even worse than the Newton.

I feel sorry for the tools who download this.

I'm one if the "tools" that downloaded it. I appreciate you feeling sorry for me but I don't need it if I'm downloading apps from an iOS device. I need it if I'm in Japan or anyone of the people affected by tragedy ruining there life. Please feel sorry for them and maybe donate $5 to the relief efforts.

One of my favorite old Zepplin tunes :) I think I've kept all my install CDs from 10.1 on; wow, time has been marchin' along :D

Good on ya Apple :apple:

and FAIL.

iphone needed nor had any competition to debut as a smash hit.

ipad needed nor had any competition to debut as a smash hit.

apple do stuff well and make good products because that's what the heck they frickin do!

they dont need anything to prod them on but their own imagination. companies that innovate by imitation because they got caught with their pants down arent about better products for end users. that's why their stuff sucked in the first place.

Yes and Palm smartphones and Blackberries never existed before the iPhone.

Of course Apple are free to do what they want, and limit the scope of the awards in whatever way they see fit, but by doing so it lessens the value of winning the award, because it's from a smaller group of apps and is more blatantly self-serving rather than creating the impression that it is more of a recognition of genuinely well-designed software.

I would liken it to the Oscars, where films that are heavy on acting performances gain an instant advantage because most of the voters are actors. That's fine, but it doesn't mean the awards mean as much as if they were voted for by a more independent, disinterested (as opposed to uninterested) group that didn't have a built-in bias to promote the stature of their own section of the industry.

I can't see how people can vote this negative...

The App Stores are Apple's thing. Why can't they award the best apps on those stores?

Seems like a good idea to me. :)

Time really flies.

I remember walking into the local CompUSA and picking up my copy. They had them stuffed in the back corner along with one G4 that wasn't even working along with it's broken CD drive cover.

Amazing how the times have changed since then.

Looking forward to the next 10 years of the Mac OS.

:apple:

I've pre-ordered the Prestige Edition pack on the PS3. It's already been shipped and I will get it on Monday or Tuesday, shame really, cause I cannot open it until Christmas Day!!!!! hahahaha, oh I shall have to be strong..... but I thinks it's a cool pressy. I may play with the toy car more first though :D:D

And you are why this system won't work.;)My point exactly, this is the reason we never wanted this system.

If Jon is able to get this working, selling Fairplay DRM files from other sites, it will be bad for buyers. Right now Apple forces the record companies into a set price format (ie $.99 per song etc.). The record companies have already fought with Apple over this during the last contract renegotiations, wanting to charge more for some material. Apple won because they have a near monopoly on the market, but if other stores can sell iPod compatible music Apple's bargaining power is gone and prices will rise. Ug, I can't believe I just defended a monopoly.

When one considers Dell's quality of their computers, why are they still #1?

corporate sales. When you have large IT staffs and reserves of machines, reliability is less of an issue.

Welcome to 1984.

This has nothing to do with 1984.

oh, and if the internet provider is giving you the run-around.
http://www.ip-adress.com/

go here, type in the IP address and it'll tell you exactly where the server is that they are connected to. It gives you the IP latitude and IP longitutde.

tell them that it is being connected at this server location and they'll be able to location exactly which hub it's being connected at and .. yea. trace the burgulars home down..

its says I'm from Phoenix but I"m not from there.....or is that where my ISP is from?

It's a little cheeky, sure, but the Design Award isn't really anything but marketing opportunity for the devs.

What should I be willing to learn? That some people feel with every inch of their being that they were put in the wrong body?

I fully understand that and I am not about to argue it. I believe they deserve every right any other person is entitled to. I believe they are born this way and it is not a choice.

So what am I hesitant to "learn"?

Great album from Devin Townsend :)

Capacitator? That must be some fancy new kind of capacitor... sweet!

It's the Brit pronunciation - like that extra syllable that they throw into aluminum...

Feel it people. A million geeks, all achieving orgasm at the same time. It's such a thing of beauty. :)

Personally I was a little bummed. Yes, the iPhone stuff was neat, but nothing earth-shattering. Apple TV still doesn't blow my skirt up.

Movie rentals... Hmmm, okay.

Time Capsule is useless (or pointless) unless it is RAID (save money buy a Buffalo TeraStation Pro)...

Nothing on the cinema displays? Does anyone else think the displays are rapidly loosing market share due to a lack of updates over the last 18+ months?
