Second in line here at the moment, the queues building slowly. Feeling just a *tad* geeky!

you'll feel even more geeky when i turn up and address you as spanky deluxe in a loud voice!

Like my Nuvi for the Garmin interface and have been waiting for an iPhone app to take its place. Have used Google maps and like others stared at the blue dot in a field of grey where no map has loaded due to slow or no cell coverage. Garmin dropped the ball on the decision to not load the map data as a package. All of North America is around 1GB on my Nuvi and I'd gladly devote that space on my iPhone. Whats more our iPod 4G could have been a nice GPS in my wife's car with the maps loaded. No cell connection for the iPod means no maps and no way to use it for a second Garmin purchase. Lost revenue from our two devices Garmin but if you guys in Kansas fix that problem and have all of the map data included you've got two more sold!

So i got the Beta Copy of Star Craft but I don't seem to have any playable maps... :S What gives?

The 3G graph just shows how ignorant people are when choosing between ATT and Verizon.

ATT has the fastest 3G network
ATT has GSM, the standard chipset around the globe

Dropped calls and data plan are not the same thing

All this equals that people are ignorant


I bought a Verizon iPad because I have an AT&T iPhone. I figured that if one doesn't work, the other will. I saw no need to get two devices on the same network.

But go ahead, explain to me why that's stupid, since I clearly don't get it and I'm ignorant. :rolleyes:

They did fix the RFC errors using Outlook/IMAP. I'm thankful for that. Still not great, but it's okay. We're upgrading to Exchange 2010 soon, so it's short term.

Still not blown away though. Given the choice, with Exchange 2010 in place, I'd prefer Mail/iCal/Address Book. Just seems less bulky, and more integrated. Oxymoron I know, since they're all separate. But from an OSX perspective, I think they're a better fit. Outlook 2011 looks forced. Too many colors, buttons, and crap. Less is sometimes more....

Looks nice. Doesn't do anything for me since I would want it wired for online gaming. My real question is this, did they solve the RRoD. If they did, i might have to pick one of these baby's up when my 360 dies the next time (I'm on #4 or 5. I lost count!)

Must be nice to be able to spend all day standing in line. I have to earn my iPad 2 today by going to work. I plan on getting there at 4:00pm sharp, save me a white 32gb with an orange cover please :-)

My job is standing in line

Mall security is getting anal about sitting in front of stores. They came by and measured out from the store opening and if you are in the way they make you move.

On a good note the Nestle toll house cookie store is starting to open.

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.

New bumper sticker: "It's Not A Choice, It's A Consequence"

Why such a negative response? The software out there sucks... more competition means more quality. Sound design needs some major upgrades. It needs to more innovate.
I had a quick play with SoundBooth and this appeared to suck too. I can't see it being a decent replacement just yet.

The fact that congress cannot construct a budget is simply a failure of them to perform their duties. Part of the reason is that the motivation to avoid a shutdown isn't great enough, thus I propose a two-fold solution to motivate them a little

1) Congress persons do not get paid during the shutdown. Perhaps if they were to not get paid they would be more motivated.

2) In the event of a shutdown all members of congress immediately become ineligible to run for re-election for their current position and ineligible to run in any other federal election. Since a shutdown means they've failed, they shouldn't be allowed to continue.

I would need to find a cite, but this was actually brought up and was put to vote in one of the houses. Of course it was struck down. I want to say this happened around the last time the government shut down under Clinton.

This has also happened at the state level (here in California anyway) and of course they were still getting paid while they, the Government, continued to work on something they should have done. Amazing, if you or I don't get the job done, we are out of a job.

I agree with another poster. Vote of no confidence on all and have a special election to get them all out of office. Ughhh. Very frustrated right now.

Is the animation smooth or jerky like all Garmins (unlike TomTom's smooth animation).

I can't wait till iPad2 is released in Canada.:D I'm already noticing ipad1 dropping like a rock.:cool: What is weird with the iPad is that it is dramatically loosing its value. A fan boy told me once that apple products hold their value.:rolleyes:

While I wish the AppleTV supported DLNA, that's not really directly comparable to AirPlay, is it? DLNA seems to be a "pull" protocol and it seems to be more closely comparable to iTunes Home Sharing.

AirPlay is more of a "push" protocol.

Then that means merging articles wherever possible, and as I suggested before, using the subcategories as filters rather than points of separation.

How does what I said mean we should merge articles whenever possible? :confused:

I don't think MediaWiki supports using categories as filters.

That way we can reduce article clutter while simultaneously avoiding arbitrary separation between different types of software simply because they don't fit the idea of being "Mac" like.
As for the CLI thing, it's all just software, we don't need to keep them separated by walls of steel from the "Mac" apps since they run native on a Mac.

If there's a "Terminal Commands" subcategory of a "Software" category, the CLI applications are still classed as software. By putting them in a subcategory, we are not hiding them, shunning them or separating them by "walls of steel". We are merely putting articles in logical groupings to make them easier to find. They are not split off because they're not "Mac-like".

A simpler category structure does not necessarily make the guides any simpler to use.

I suspect you could be taking this just a little too seriously, David.

Just like everyone behind the 'rebellion'.

Samsung and LG already settled with Kodak.

Kodak's (NYSE:EK) market cap is < $1B.

Why doesn't Apple just buy them and continue the suit against RIM?

Everyone is dressed up but Steve....awesome.

Not really. It's his trademark - after all, Steve Jobs is another product from Apple's marketing department.

I'm rather disappointed that Mark Zuckerberg did not appear in casual clothes as well. I would have expected more from him.

After reading that, I think I'm supposed to be using Windows...

My first post after a long time of lurking so go easy.......


Are people overestimating Apple's motives? Could it perhaps not be a masterplan but just that the new motherboard, etc they are using just happens to have this component so it's been included?

That could explain why it's hidden around the back. If being placed on the back is deliberate it could just be for aesthetics sake as ports on the front will look messy.

I've posted this before on the pic of the day thread but it is one of my favorite "contrast" shots to date.

This is a very interesting photograph. For as spooky as the dwelling looks, it has a certain inviting quality to it. It contrasts not only in color but in mood. I like it. Thanks for the explanation of the coloring; I'm surprised this was light painted!

Very nice capture. This reminds me of the lighting style used in Tron and Tron: Legacy. What might be fun is to drastically reduce your aperture / increase your f-number and do a long exposure shot of it so that it is entirely in focus. I would also center it in the frame but that could just be me.

Oh my, what a conundrum for the fan boys. On one hand, CR loves the iPad and Apple's customer service but on the other hand, we have the iPhone 4. :D

Ummm...no.

Consumer Reports was clearly pageview trolling with the iPhone 4.

They rated it as their BEST smartphone, but said they wouldn't recommend it.
How does that make any sense?

I don't think apple would go 128gb now.. There launching cloud soon, which is the future.

How is "cloud" the future if bandwidth is still limited and not available everywhere? Cloud = server, This rebranding needs to stop.

There will be plenty of stock for everyone. Its just a matter of how long you will wait to get one.
