interesting. hopefully apple will release such a device for more than one carrier off the bat rather than go with an exclusive deal.

Yes Jobs... it's a database of nearby wifi and cell towers.
Sure such data would be handy to connect quickly.... but you don't need to maintain a DATABASE with data from MONTHS, WEEKS or even DAYS ago.
Such data is not useful for quick connections to nearby cell towers or wifi APs.
Anything over a day old is not useful for the excuse Jobs has given.
That said, I'm not worried from a privacy standpoint as the data is on my phone and I'm not planning on giving anyone access to my phone.
Don't get me wrong,... I'm not being apologetic for this.
It's just that as a shareholder, Job's constant down-playing of THEIR engineering mistakes pisses me off.
Stop making excuses, stop trying to fix the issue with kludges, and just do it right to begin with.

Steve Jobs looks ill.. I am worried about him.
Yeah, he looks really thin.
My stream went kaputt after 22 minutes of perfection...wish I'd skipped ahead to the OS X part...

I wonder what hurdles they would have to jump over, to bless the iP6 with legitimate GPS capabilities?
anyhoo...Ive never had a use for traffic monitoring capabilities in GPS. Most of the time its either, "wait in highway traffic 30min or re-route through DC and add 60min to your drive".

Could you be more specific. Are you talking just in the desktop units?
Actually, at the moment I think Apple is so focussed on the high end, and that'll always be expensive. The sweet spot is speed/cost is usually around 6 months behind the cutting edge, and it'd be great to see more Apple options in that area.
I know... iMac, Mac Mini etc can handle that reasonably well... and I do like the look of the new iMac. I'm probably just being picky.
edit: Yes, I meant desktop units, though it's probably true for laptops too?

But the ability for regular people to come together in a real time of need or crisis is still present.
The real test is how people act when not compelled by crisis.
While it's comforting to know that we can forget about our differences when we fear for our lives, why do we so easily let those differences flare up again and divide us when a crisis subsides?
The weak don't survive.
I don't believe that at all. America is filled with weak people. They seem to be surviving just fine.

Now now, calling Budweiser a beer is a stretch as it is and calling it a lager is an insult to any properly brewed lager out there. Like someone else in this thread stated before it's a cheap diluted ricewine with hops added for something pretending to be taste. As for Chimay, never had it but if it is in the same range of products as that .... stuff.... from Anheusser operates in, it probably isn't a belgium ale either.....
Cheers,
Ahmed
Chimay is made by Belgian monks. I used it as an example precisely because it is not nearly in the same range as Budweiser. ;)

I've been torn between the MBA 11 and MBA 13. I'm replacing a desktop PC with it, though - this will be my main machine.
The price doesn't really enter into it, much - the 11/4/128/1.6 MBA runs 1399, and the 13/4/128/1.86 MBA runs 1399 as well. For the 11, you get the sweet small size and higher portability - for the 13, you get the higher resolution and the SD card slot.
Hopefully there'll be a more clear-cut winner once the refresh hits. ;)

Next, tongue forking.
seen it done, not pleasant
i have seven peircings now, plan on probably two more, considering a tenth.
they are fun, really dont hurt, and they are removable if you end up not liking them in the end.
but they aren't for everyone, and i doubt that this will be 'just a phase' for me, as i can see keeping some of these for quite some time, if not for the rest of my life.

In this regard, I think it's ridiculous for the government to mandate that a company build a certain number of xx mpg cars, regardless of whether people actually want to buy those cars or not.
Carrot and stick. I think a combination of incentives, taxes and penalties should be implemented to encourage people to buy more efficient cars.
I don't think we should force people to buy efficient cars, but when too many people are commuting in trucks and SUVs it becomes a problem. Also, if all our domestic manufacturers are good for is making full size trucks that only Americans will buy, then we are making ourselves less globally competitive.

Not at all. Sales are determined and calculated by part numbers ... by any reliable firm, that is. Perhaps, you're not familiar with such practices? Maybe you spend too much time viewing simplified/dumbed-down blogs instead of actual sales/business forecasts. It's OK, at one juncture, all of us had to spoon-fed.

Sales are determined by model number. Inventory control is calculated by part number.
Keep trying, though. I'm quite amused.

Then it isn't a T1.

3mbit/sec is still pretty slow for this. That's only 375K bytes/sec. A 600MB media file (the size of a CD, and apx. the size of an H.264-compressed full-length SD video) would take about a half-hour to transfer.
Now, with my 30mbit/sec Internet service, I expect to be able to transfer, from the biggest sites anyway, at maybe 20mbit/sec. At certain times of the day, I get the full 30. At 20, though, that 30 minutes shrinks to 4 minutes.
In my post I was referring to megabytes not megabits. I get a solid 50megabits down and 10megabits up. I think this should be sufficient to get the system up and running with a possible upgrade in the future.
Having said that, I am usually working with files less than your 600MB benchmark because they are all webpage elements.
Sorry for the confusion, thank you all for your advice. I've been carefully reading each post and appreciate your continued support.

Grrrrr! Of course Apple updated the Shuffle. I just bought one two weeks ago. I got mine used at least, and I got an external battery pack for my 1GB, $71.50 incl shipping on eBay.
But still, I've been waiting for almost a year now for them to release a new version. I wanted something more like the old design though, w/ the USB plug. Just thinner and in black.

I have 12gb RAM in my iMac and looking at iStat, after 17 days since last reboot I've had 83,053 pageouts!!
It's heartbreaking to know my Mac is having to do all those page outs :( I think I'm going to call OWC and upgrade to 16GB and see if that helps...
Boohoo. ;)
How many page ins? Close to or over a million? If the # of page outs is < half # of page ins, there is absolutely no reason at all to upgrade memory. It won't make your system any faster or better responsive. If it is more than half, your system could use a memory upgrade and the closer the two numbers are together, the higher your need for memory.
Number of page outs are completely irrelevant and don't mean diddle squat, unless viewed in relation to the number of page ins.
