On the issue of installing software and copying music/movies without a disk drive. Am I the only one that avoids disks as much as possible already? If I can't immediately download an application I'm considerably less interested in purchasing it. I can think of only two pieces of software I bought this year that came on physical media and one of them was Logic. I've downloaded about 18GB of software just since yesterday (some Adobe demos and Steam games) and I hardly have the best connection in the world. I'm ready for physical media to die.

...Everyone has a TV. Everyone NEEDS a TV. Everyone LOVES their TV. Not everyone needs a cellphone. Not everyone LOVES a cellphone.
Cellphones have become a burden on society. Why do we need to be intouch every second of the day? We don't. Cellphones are the only form of technology out there that actually causes grief for other individuals. Think about it, how many times has the movie you are watching, the dinner you are trying to enjoy or the church mass you are trying to worship at been interrupted by the "lovely" little blaring chime of a cellphone? Or even better yet, that person picking up the call and talking on it as if the person on the other end of the line is more deaf than Helen Keller. How many times has someone cut you off in traffic or almost hit you, only to get a look at them to see that they are gabbing away on their phone, oblivious of the fact they almost killed you?
Gee, maybe I'm weird, because I actually DON'T own a TV, but I DO own a cell phone. I think the cell phone serves a much greater purpose to any society than a television. Let's see..call people I love and care about, or waste my brain watching the garbage on cable. Hmm.
Just my 2 cents.

Still, would it not be easy to see if the boxes were, uh, iMac sized, iPod sized, or Nano sized???
I am just amazed things stay secret so well....
I'm pretty sure the box size is bigger than a Mini and smaller than at Mac Pro. And the price tag is $1499. (and it's not an iMac).

Funny how Apple chooses to drop support for the only other app than iMovie that I even care about.
Where has Apple announced anything? This is nothing more than an Amazon placeholder for a book - such things have been shown to be very unreliable.

Why is no one bringing up the upcoming 5 year anniversary of the iPod as a release date for the "True Video"/6g/Whatever-you-wanna-call-it? It would trump the Zune release, it would be in time for the holiday season and it would be the perfect way for Apple to show what they can do in 5 years of development. Kind of the "Re-birth" of the iPod, 5 years later.
Is there some grand reason the anniversary is out of the question?

I... don't understand.
I don't get it either. Like I said, all those lovely beers just across the Channel they can import, yet BUDWEISER is the number one selling import? Maybe it's the U.K. version of hipsters being ironic by drinking crappy American beer?
I could only find this article (http://www.thepublican.com/story.asp?storycode=66969) discussing their growth in the UK.

Independent studies have found Wikipedia to be about as accurate as Encyclopedia Britannica, with Wikipedia having longer articles that Britannica.
But the damn site is all voluntary, no real authority. People could change something on less looked at articles and nobody'd no the difference! My sister's professors do not allow their students to you Wikipedia! Just because something's longer doesn't mean it's bettter! If you've ever used Encyclopaedia Brittanica or the World Book, the authors are pros on the subject, not just some bum that's obcessed with Google!

Yeh i am kind of annoyed that Leopard nore iLife and iWork were not even mentioned at the keynote.
I have been waiting for iLife 07 to come out, so finally i can buy a macbook without having to purchase it seperately.
Hopefully i can hold off for a few months or whatever and then finally purchase it with Leopard and iLife 07.

I think that for the first 24 hours that a new event video is up it should be for Mac users only. Maybe even require QuickTime Pro.
Either that or just get better servers and/or use bittorrent.

Welcome to Macrumors, it is like this all the time. Some weeks are worse then others. You just get used to it!
Seems like you�ll only have something to get used if you expect MR to be something that it is not.
As we all know, some are better than others in terms of getting the release date correct. In some cases, there will be years of discussion about the same device and again and again false positives will come up, telling everyone it�s on the way even though it isn�t
But insight on when something�s going to happen isn�t the singular, or even the primary, purpose of these discussions. They�re an opportunity to talk about what MAY BE released and what sort of functionality/design it will have, how it will work, what the target market (beside us) will be, etc.

the Apple online store is also closed...
At least this means we're almost DEFINATELY seeing new hardware... though that's not new. Are all the international stores down? (Might be a hint of whether Apple's got this deal worked out for many countries?)

I like the part of the law that gives fines, and I think jail time to anyone forcing a woman to wear one, but if someone actually wants to wear a veil they should be allowed to do it.

Just to clear up a few things, the schools network was fully protected, so I was working without any Internet. Despite this, I was still a threat? I'm pretty sure the IT guy was just an idiot. I'm tempted to take the air again... But that's probably a bad idea right? :(
And so you know, i'm 16 and in my last year of high school, studying music. Logics pretty great to have around, and the schools music software is just awful; so I'd really miss not having it with me...
Thanks for everyones interest in the subject, it's really appreciated.
Take it back, and continue to use it. If is asks for it tell him to get bent, not literally. But dont give it to him. Theres nothing he can do if the teachers dont mind you using it.

I only know 2 people with an iphone all the rest have either the HTC Desire or Desire HD. Once I showed my friends my Desire they all switched. Same as my work too. Nearly everyone had an iphone then I brought my HTC into the office and within a few weeks everyone had a Desire :D

I'd get the New Yorker in a minute if it was even remotely priced the way it would be for a print subscription. I'd pay even more--due to the convenience factor, but not $5 an issue.
The demand is not there because their prices are unrealistic.
Especially having to pay twice if you are already a print subscriber. Why? :confused:
