You know, on second thought....there never will be an iPad "killer".

Show me a single tablet, from any manufacturer...that will out-sell the iPad.

You can't.



When Steve Jobs is no longer around to rule the roost and Jonathan Ive is no longer with Apple, who knows how the company will change?

Nothing lasts forever. Apple's biggest problem is Apple themselves. You can get too cocky and too arrogant.
Just look at the way Apple are trying to manipulate sales and the queue's of public outside stores. Who knows where this will lead to in the future?

Those idiots never learn...

They will bring their industry to its knees until one day noone will use them...

I don't think Stevo we'll even or should discuss the subject...

Assuming August 7 as an announcement date of new systems, the waiting is killer.

yes i hate waiting. but remember, "good things come to those who wait"

What is it with all the complaining? Lion is a fresh direction for OS X, of course it will be paid. It will probably cost $129, so go ahead and get yourself all cried out now about it. If you think it’s just a minor revision that should be given away for free or $29:

1) Don’t buy it
2) You’re wrong

Full-screen apps along is just…why haven’t we been doing this all along?

Well what happened is the following. They received ipads earlier this week. Didn't sell them because the Sunday ad has that Best Buy will have them in stock. Due to bait and switch laws if the ad has it they have to have a certain amount of stock. Apple didn't like it that we didn't sell through them any way and pull the add.

We don�t even have to go to HDCAM SR for delivery anymore. On our latest project we just brought a hard drive with the masters (in ProRes) and did a transfer right at the broadcast facility. That was nice.

I do see your point on the blu-ray file size though.
But when the promo department at the same broadcaster wanted to look at the programs to plan the promotion of the series it would be nice to drop them a blu-ray, knowing they would be able to watch it on any player.

EDIT: I do have to say it�s not often I miss the need for blu-ray, but it certainly do happen

Ah delivery on a drive that would be nice although as we archive to SR I suspect we won't do it for a while.

Promo departments will only every get a DVD with time code across it from me as all to often I have seen them do something we have said they can't with the footage, I like to control exactly what they get to do with it.

You should thouroughly read a post before you quote and attempt to disprove it, or in this case, call the poster a name like fanboy...

The poster before you mentioned how these "sub-$1000" laptops are JUST starting to ship THIS WEEK, not a month ago as you claim. If Apple were to release new MBP on Monday and announce them as "shipping today," then Apple would only mere days behind, not a month.

P.S. If you skipped to the end of this post again and are about to reply angrily, please go back and read the post as you will better understand what I am trying to say...

I found information on another forum and read it a bit incorrectly.

Nonetheless, even after re-reading sources (which a quick google of "shipping merom laptop" will bring up), Apple is at minimum a week and a half behind, assuming that shipping in blindingly fast. And seeing as they didn't update MBPs today - and (assuming rumors are correct) they might update next week, this puts Apple a solid two and a half weeks behind.

And that's on sub-$1000 notebooks.

To me the answer to the whole IR/Mac Pro/Front Row thing is obvious - put an integrated IR receiver into the keyboard. The keyboard would come with the Mac Pro (unlike the display) and is rarely under the desk. :)

Plus they could sell the keyboard for any Mac (including ones that don't have Front Row - they could include the app with it).

Don't like it. I don't want a new keyboard - I just want FR. Besides, anyone with an older laptop would not be served by that. Just put a USB dongle in the case and sell it with the software!

the apple store is still going very healthy now
does that mean no update today?

I refuse to protect others from negative consequences when they need to learn from them.

Negative consequences? :rolleyes:

I believe that people with same-sex attractions are endangering themselves at least physically when they have sex with each other. So I'll post a link to some evidence for my opinion (http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/homosexuality/ho0075.html). Notice, the document's author is a medical doctor.

Endangering themselves? And a Catholic website as backup? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Wow. Just wow.

At least we're back to the childhood anecdotes again - so in between reading all the ignorant, antiquated, religion-clouded bollocks you are spewing, we can find a little entertainment value.

It's always a little alarming when a post starts "sorry if I missed it but..."



The 2.7 G5 will be the highest clocked chip in a mac for a while, but probably not the fastest. In a number of benchmarks, Yonah has already beaten dual G5's, the conroes and woodrests will likely widen the gap even more.


I'm sorry. I thought that it was adequately implied that I meant the fastest chip, to date. Anyway, that's what I meant if I've been misunderstood.

Good. I hope they take one of the last strengths of the iPad ecosystem away from it.

Hey, are you sure you want to state that Apple has anything that is good?

You are admitting they have "strengths" even if this is the last one.

And, let's even assume that happens and Apple goes under, all their products tank and and and.

What benefit would you have from that?

Any positive thoughts in your head? You know all the negative stress Apple seems to give you will eventually cause health issues.

Not again..

NAB is for broadcast professionals - its doubtful there will be computer releases here.

They don't have to announce the new hardware there. It's very unlikely they would have an event to announce the hardware upgrade. But there's no reason a refresh can't take place that day.

There are many reports of supplies of imacs and minis drying up as of a week ago so a refresh is certainly imminent.

If you read my original post, you'll notice that I was referring to the fact that many programmers are careless about optimizing their code all because they can count on a large amount of resources, and because they get lazy.

I think anyone programming above assembly language and/or on a device with more than about 16K of memory, gets lazy :)

Most Mac programmers are good at optimizing, while many Windows programmers are not.

Where does Apple's horrible iTunes for Windows fit into this myth?

I am excited about the rally, I haven't started that yet. I always loved the dirt and snow races in previous GT games.

Windows 7 is available in six editions, and three of those (bolded) are available through normal retail channels.

- Windows 7 Starter
- Windows 7 Home Basic
- Windows 7 Home Premium
- Windows 7 Professional
- Windows 7 Enterprise
- Windows 7 Ultimate

You also need to decide on the architecture before purchase, unlike OS X.

If you count those (they are packaged in different boxes after all), this brings the number up to 11. Starter doesn't come in a 64-bit edition.

Finally, this of course doesn't include the server editions of the Windows 7 kernel.

The only versions of Windows 7 Ive seen available at retail are Home Premium, Proffessional and Ultimate.

Starter and Home basic only come bundled with Netbooks.

And if you're choosing which version of Windows you want for home use, why would Enterprise and Server versions even come into it?

So if you're looking to pick up Windows 7 for your PC, the only serious choices are Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate, and is it really that confusing to compare a feature list of 3 versions and decide which features you need?

If anyone can answer me this question, it would be most appreciated :D

Does anyone know how many iPhone 4s Radioshack will be getting apart from those that they "reserved"?

Do you think that the developers who get a copy of leopard will have access to the top secret features? If so then I wouldn't doubt if some of the features got leaked faster than apple intended. Heck, last time within a week tiger as an os was lead. Yes I know the guy was sued but it would have been very hard to track who did it if he hadn't put everything he was doing in a blog.

Those of you still looking to order from the Shack...

The latest I am hearing this morning from at least
one store is that preorders start at 1pm.

...however they are not calling it preorders. They
take down your name, phone and email and check
the system. No deposit.

I am being told that you ARE guaranteed a phone
with this reservation.
