I am glad that my sentiment reflects the majority on here.
If this is really what is about to be revealed, its not really that much of a big deal and most wont use it (except out of curiosity).
I appreciate the whole SJ henry ford quote and all, but his is really an unusable concept for the majority that like to be in control.
My opinion.
I agree - if this new cloud merely gives online storage to iTunes-purchased music, then this is not very exciting.
However...
1. I'm betting that the online storage of iTunes-purchased songs will be a free service, and will be in addition to the copy you download as you always have.
2. I'm betting that - despite the majority of opposing opinions - that you will also be able to upload some of your non-iTunes purchased music, and that a certain amount of space, like a few gigs, will be free.
3. I'm betting that iDisk will be a part of this (although it will likely be re-branded) and, therefore, you will be able to use some of that free space to upload documents.
I guess my point is that I think/hope Apple will be offering at least a little more than you mentioned and, more importantly, the "basic plan" will be free of charge.

I was having issues with my mouse (Logitech MX518) not working after a wake from sleep on a 1.83ghz core duo mac mini I just bought. I had to unplug it and plug it in to get it working again... hopefully this fixes it.

True that they can do it but the original question remains. Why did Nokia wait until now before doing it ?
Who knows.
Why did Apple take two years before they sued HTC? Did it take them that long to figure it out? Did they wait until HTC became a threat? All of the above?
Now my final question would be, is it possible Apple could file suit against BOTH Microsoft and Nokia when the Windows Phone 7 Nokia phones come out? I mean, Steve Jobs said it himself that Apple had patented the iPhone to the hilt and intended to protect all those patents.
Jobs is a showman, not an engineer. Many of his remarks should not be taken at face value.
There's not a lot in the iPhone that's patented by Apple. I can think of about four "major" items offhand: their particular touchscreen position decoder, their slot antenna using the case trim, their way of implementing a scrolling direction lock, and their way of doing a bounce at the end of a page. Oh, and their way of doing a slide-to-unlock.
You can certainly make a nice smartphone without any of the above. I cannot think of a way for Apple to make a GSM phone without using GSM patents.
As I remember when this first came out, Nokia wanted both money and access to Apple's patent portfolio. Apple did not want to give Nokia access to Apple's patent portfolio and wanted to pay Nokia less money (Note - Nokia wanted to get a percentage of each phone sold (lot of money for a smart phone) while Apple wanted to give a lesser fixed amount).
The original royalty for GSM phones was a percentage of the retail price. The GSM inventors came up with that plan as a way of promoting phones that everyone in the world could afford. (Something that Apple isn't at all interested in. They just want to use the technology and infrastructure that other companies spent billions on, to make their own billions in high profits.)
Many companies also shared a patent pool, and those that did got a better royalty deal of course.
Nokia offered royalty plans both with and without patent sharing. However, Apple doesn't like to share patents, and they felt that all the proposed payments were too high.
So Nokia has asked a jury in Delaware to decide the amount. You can't get much more fair than that.

It's funny, but wherever I go, I always see people with iPhones. My train, on plane trips between Chicago and NYC, during meetings, etc. I am amazed the number is only 5% - but I guess it's the circles that I am in.
That's because many of them are using the iPhone for purposes other than calls (emails, games, etc). Basic phones are in the pockets of their users when they're not on the phone.

Well done Langer!
I think a wash-out will be a real disappointment. I can handle a draw in an earlier test but not a decider.

Horrible! I feel for you man. Why such a silly limit?
It's leftover from Prohibition. Heck, the state didn't even officially legalize alcohol again until the 50s.
What good is a state where you cant crack open an Old English for your dead homies? sad very sad
Oddly enough, malt liquor seems to be exempt from that law. All the finer malt liquors, including Olde English, Colt 45, and Mickey's are widely available. I think they have their own category for some reason. I also think they don't enforce the law that closely. I believe Rogue Dead Guy, for example, is around 6%, but it is easily available. Also, I have seen quite a few beers in the 5.something range around, so it doesn't seem to be a hard 5% cap.
Good god man. That's reason enough to move!
I'm working on it. :) I've been ramping up the job hut lately. I have been avoiding it, but I think I may wind up in DFW. At least I have a free place to crash there for a while. At least until the sis-in-law gets sick of me, that is.

I paid $20 for a 2GB USB2 Flash drive last Monday at Fry's.

I'd go get one except that I wouldn't ever use about 1.75GB of those 2GB =\

I think they should add a "buy a new mac" button on the crash dialogue that takes you to the online apple store. Maybe even a splash page that says "Old mac crashing too much? Try one of these new babies!"
I'm glad your not in Apples marketing department. :p

It's kinda hard to do that in band, which is next. I have like 5 more minutes on here.
Too bad. If memory serves the last event was quite late starting, so you may be able to catch up with the exciting stuff (the first 20 minutes will probably be about sales figures and the new iMac anyway). Good luck!

I believe actually that we're about to see not a replacement for the existing iPod but more of an iPod Pro. They won't call it that but it will the newest in the lineup, with the current 5.5G iPod continuing selling.
I see Apple continuing selling the current version for $249 and $349 and then offering this bigger brother for $449 and would come with the screen the full length of the iPod as we have seen countless mockups. Would it have more than an 80GB drive? Possibly. But I think we'll just see one model with the bigger screen and it might have a bigger hard drive.
I would bet, though, that Apple does not get rid of what's been working for them. The 5.5G is safe... for now.

Now, instead of Oct. 31, Amazon states that they will be "In stock soon." And if you click on the "used & new" link, you seemingly get more detail that they won't be released until the end of the year:

Wait so, how are we supposed to report No Coverage in an area with, well, no coverage?
You are not supposed to report it. Since you can't send the report the company does not have to fix the issue. This is smart, then they can report to the world that they don't have gaps in their coverage. ;)
Take that Verizon. LOL.

Who said this was a dumbed down edit suite and no longer for pros?
This looks AMAZING and solves dozens of the gripes that I deal with on a day to day basis.
Thank god that Apple aren't scared of naysayers and traditionalists like user 'Full of Win'!!!Just got back from NAB. I was at the SuperMeet.
Instead of repeating everything that everyone that has seen it...Ill just say that your post is bang on ;)

I suppose I'm being too cynical, but part of me suspects that AT&T has only created this app to reduce the amount of time their reps spend listening to complaints about dropped calls. I know I've spent a lot of time on the phone with them over the last year. While they're always very cordial and say things like they are "sending out crews to look at towers", etc, nothing changes. In fact, where I live (about an hour south of NYC) things have gotten far worse - not better.

Yeah, same here, but I guess you need space to store all those movies from the Movie Store...

Because so much of the cost of a computer is the cost of the CPU? Of course not. Everyone can see there's more to an iMac than just the CPU.
Scrolling through some of your previous posts, I have to wonder why you bother with this site, you're never going to see something you like.
While the Mac is more the sum of its parts, lilo is perfectly right with his assertion. Apple doesn�t want transparency that detracts from whatever they preach. Nevertheless top product though somewhat underspecced for 2k.
180 markup for i7 upgrade? Plzzzz
