I miss Sound Edit 16.
I used that app so much in the old days... way before Macromedia and Adobe got into the game. :rolleyes:

...actually by far the worst thing about the whole op was having to wear big granny-style paper knickers!!!...
You got to wear knickers?!
I knew the nurses prepping me for my op's fancied me!

Even though I didn't know what they were saying, I still got the basic idea and found it humorous. :D

Funny how history repeats itself (or better the comments on current events) ... those are the same arguments that I heard when computer manufactures started to get rid of the Floppy drive: but CDs are so much more expensive, I can't get everything on CD, people don't know how to handle them, ....

Uh ? CDs were cheaper than floppies to mass produce and had been for quite in the 90s (remember, pressed vs burned) and 2, I was booting OS images and bootloaders from them way before the floppy drive even disappeared from Macs.

What are you even ranting about here ? This isn't history repeating itself at all in my case. If you have a blank Mac because of a problem or HD upgrade, a network install image being sold outside the Mac App Store makes a lot more sense than Mac App Store distribution. OSes shouldn't be distributed in a store that requires an OS installation to even work.

Chicken and egg problem right there. And a pure network install without media should be possible, Linux distributions have had that option forever. Welcome to the 90s or something. Again, all we need is a simple bootable image that we can put on a USB drive. Make an app to automate the creation of the USB thumb drive and it becomes completely user proof.

And seriously, the guy arguing normal people who have problems doing it this way ? News flash, people that aren't computer savvy don't tend to upgrade their OS beyond patches.

The difference is that the DVD drive is a relict from the last century. No need to put this big mechanical noisy space wasting thing in any new machine. The USB stick is for those who can't download for whatever reason. I have not used the DVD drive in years - still all my machines have this thing in it. I dare to say that the majority of users don't need a DVD drive - and for those that need one, they should have the option to get an optional one on new machines, but no need to have it by default in every new machine.

That's the point. You say it yourself, your machines still have DVD drives. What's the point of going to the more expensive USB drive option ? Again : CDs were cheaper than floppies to produce and were much quicker to mass produce. Going from optical to Flash memory is the opposite move, it makes the media both more expensive and much more complicated/long to duplicate in mass.

DVD distribution makes a lot more sense than USB right now in 2011. It will probably be like that for a few years. Admit, all the people clamoring for USB distribution just want a Apple branded USB Thumb drive. As an Air user with such a thumb drive let me tell you this : their design is pure crap and it is not quite as convenient as a real thumb drive. It also tends to get all scratched up when inserting it and removing it because it lacks the proper guides for the USB port.

I allready posted that, but everyone seems to be overlooking this fact (including you :P)

So, this time in bold:
People, one of the airlines mentoined has denied the deal, so it's not sure if it is true!


I think we might just be surpressing this..

..this is veeery un-apple. Last time I remember something like this was Steve announcing the G5 would reach 3GHz within a year, upon which IBM said they would try to get it to 3GHz within a year.

..I'm guessing someone got fired at Apples today..

I guess this event will also see the launch of Lion and an updated iMac?

IRS sensor to use or the Apple Remote.

There has been a lot of misreporting on this issue the last few days. I clear up this issue in my latest podcast. Where I talked to the USPTO, read the actuall letter and talked to the people that actually applied for the term Podcast.

UH and if you have 6 youre dead. I thihnk that the SE' work with early deskwriters, stylewriters, laserwriters and and imagewriters. better compatibility with 7 than in 6

Man I love this forum....I have a facebook account.....but me nuh ediat:D
+1 I too!
If you use this, you're an idiot. Plain and simple. No debate or discussion.
Just because it applies to u it doesnt mean it applies to everybody

Facebook, why not roll out the service first and THEN do the app update? The way you ar� doing it only creates confusion. My 2 cents

By the way...Steve Jobs has a rare form of Pancreatic Cancer, called Islet cell carcinoma. The 10 year survival rate is 32%. That is very good, especially with all the money and drive that Steve has. He looks like he is a man on chemo, not a man who is going to die. I say he lives till his 80's.

I think it's closer to 4-6% for 5 years Pancreatic cancer is the only cancer to have a 5 year survival rate of a single digit.

I downloaded it and tested it out a bit this afternoon.
First thoughts, Voice is real tinny sounding and not the easiest to understand.
Downloading maps was not a problem in the city at city speeds, on the highway that's another story, with in a couple miles the map ran out and never really did catch up till I got off the highway about 10 miles later with a full signal 3G connection.
The interface is nice and is very easy to use. Maps are good turn by turned was flawless. Checked out how current the maps where by going through a new subdivision only about 2 months old and it found all the street names no problem.

I thought there were only two...at least in the tablet market segment.

Neither do I, weird.

i wonder why that is :P

people are overreacting about this.

1. you physically have to go to places and check in for anyone to see where your at.
2. you control who sees it. you can set it up so all your friends see it or only certain ones. if your worried about someone knowing your not at home. you might want to think who you have for friends on your FB account because they are the only ones that will know where you are or you aren't

You'd rather USB 3 than Thunderbolt? Why would you want a slower IO rather than a freaking awesome super duper fast IO? Not sure why everyone wants USB 3 rather than Thunderbolt- hype? And don't give me it's gonna be the next FW BS.

Probably because you can actually buy devices with USB 3.0, and at a reasonable price.

I think Thunderbolt is a great idea, and it would be super on the MacBook Air (personally I'd love to see a Thunderbolt Gigabit Ethernet adapter), which is why I named it in the above list, but USB 3.0 is much more widespread and so the peripherals are cheaper.

Compare it to FireWire 800 devices: It would have been great to have an external drive with that connection but I never bought one because in the end it was too much of a price difference. It's a lot easier to put up with USB 2 speeds if it costs 40% less than FW800.

I hope Apple and intel will push Thunderbolt agressively and won't let it become a niche port like the way FW800 ended up. So yes, I do think there is a high risk of it becoming the next firewire.

Personally I'd prefer both but I don't see it happening in the next MBA, not until intel integrates it in their chipset.

I'm hoping most people drive on past the Knox store when they see they construction thinking its closed and go to another Apple Store. Maybe we get shorter lines.

Either way, ill be there around noonish.

Unless they keep me overnight, I'm having the midshipman I sponsor from the Naval Academy pick me up and get me settled at home. I'm sure I'll be just fine - I'm just a worrier. :rolleyes:

Doesn't appear to be working yet :/

Why do you say 2000 people is not a large enough sample? Do you know statistical sampling methods?

This. You want a simple random sample, a sample size greater than 30, and a population size greater than ten times your sample size.

Let's keep this thread on-topic, please (note: some posts have been deleted, and this post serves as a warning).

I wonder what the IO performance of the reader is and what a 64GB drive might manage.

Be nice if the I/O was good enough to feed DVD/HD video. I'm thinking hard about a new Mini for my HTPC and since my media is on a 2TB FW800 drive - being able to store it on a card, instead, would be sweet. :D :cool:

(And yes, I am sure such a 2TB card, if and when it ships, would be significantly expensive).

LOL

And the xoom? Not so much.
