Why would they do that, they will just stick to their plans as always. Maybe with a month early for the ipod touch, like the ipad 2.

Maybe word will stop crashing on documents with to many tables, and PowerPoint will stop crashing on large presentations editing animations.
Maybe.
... and crashing when refreshing or editing a graph in Excel when a cell in the PivotTable from which graph was drawn is selected. I am working with a 114 MB Excel document and I am not amused when this happens....
Still, Office is great. I just wish they'd spend more time getting rid of obvious bugs in the Mac version.

too bad 3 people will have to die in a chinese jail to protect apple's trade secrets (or rather, secrets that were intended to be revealed a few months later)
Yeah, fancy that, a nation that still believes in crime and punishment.

i was waiting for a os x gpu client before i did it. seems much more efficient than cpu folding
A good folding farm running a bunch if bigadv units and with their bonuses could bring in more than GPU clients. My 950 @ 4ghz brings in 27k+ PPD with the bonus.

Oh Gosh is this guy our version of the Dell Dude.
No. Steve Jobs has consistantly talked about the Mac Culture having class. The Windows culture doesn't. The ad about the Mac home video illustrates this point, with Gisele. That Dell has some random pothead trying to sound hip and the Get a Mac ads have Justin Long, a successful actor and purported teenage-heart-throb, further illustrates this point. This is the same reason Apple spend $4M on the 1984 ad and had Jeff Goldblum and Richard Dryfus narrate their TV ads while PC ads usually have spinning text and always end with the Intel doorbell.

I bought it today and have been playing around for a couple of hours (hence I am sweaty and stinky before I even get to the gym)....
Firstly it's bigger than I expected. It also looks good and far from cheap (playstation move & camera I'm looking at you)...
It works, and when it works - it works very well.
Dance Central is fantastic fun and a great aerobic workout on top.
Kinect Adventure is your usual mini game shenanigan.
I also bought Kinect Sports & Kinect JoyRide but have not played either as yet.
Space is the biggest problem...
Damn this Kinect is one greedy mofo in regards to space. I could not use it in my own room due to lack of space, the same room where Move & Wii both have no issues what so ever. This is going to be its biggest problem by far.
Were talking 10-12 feet for best results. That's quite some distance from your TV and if you have to factor in a room having sofa's & chairs - it soon is evident your going to need a bigger home. Kids can forget this in their bedrooms anyway.
Once I was able to give it the room it demands it worked great, but as I say without that room - forget it.
Menus
Dance Central's menu is great. Works with movement very well and feels sensitive and intuitive. Kinect Adventures menu system by comparison is clunky.
Right off to do some proper work for a change :D
I'm reading that mounting it above the TV gives you an extra 1-2 feet of space, if you are short of it by having the sensor below the TV.

Watch Apple CEO Steve Jobs deliver a special announcement from the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco. See the video-on-demand event right here exclusively in QuickTime and MPEG-4.
This is not going to be a live stream, folks.

Apple can release "cool" things but the real money is in business. Unless they get their heads in the business world, they'll remain a sub-10% market share company. The 18-34 home computer market can only provide Apple with a limited amount of profit:

I think Apple's commitment to quality product design is a great thing, and they should be commended for making that a priority, rather than chasing market share at whatever cost.

This does not excite me. I feel it is yet another way Apple is trying to plug the gaping hole between iMac and Mac Pro. Those wishing for a mid-range tower... keep dreaming.
And is it just me or has Apple been focusing a lot on gadgetry lately? iPods, PhonePods (iPhones), TelePorts (iTV), Google/GPS iPhoto syncing camera, etc... We want a computer company, not trinket provider. Leave that to Sony.

Don't include me in your "we". I want my iTV and iPhone.

This data is stored in a log file on the device.
The data is not information about the user or the device but rather temporal and location data about cell phone towers and wifi hotspots used to assist in locating your location in google maps app faster.
A bug exists where this file is not purge/rotated periodically like other log files and this file is backed up to iTunes.
I keep on hearing about "privacy" issues but these are facts about what hotspots/towers are online at a specific point in time and their locations relative to each other. None of this is personal and can be obtained by anyone with the proper equipment driving around in a trunk.
In a nutshell, it describes what network resources are available around you and not where you are. This data is not super accurate either but is only used in speeding up triangulation of GPS coordinates using cell towers and wifi hotspots.

No, nobody refers to network traffic in that way as it comes to development, projects and jobs.
They are talking about actually road traffic with cars and buses.
Exactly, especially considering this wording:
"...the goal of providing iPhone users an improved traffic service..."
As you say this is not how one would go about referring to network traffic, but rather real world road traffic, but don't point this out to those who think everybody (including MR) are idiots, because we see the story as having to do with turn-by-turn gps directions.

Do people really want a white iPhone that badly? Honestly I think the original black one is more attractive.
Thank god we all don't have to like the same thing, or think the same thing is "attractive". I find black hideous, quite honestly. Unfortunately, my fanboy-ism drove me to purchasing the iPhone 4, even though I absolutely hated the color. I can rearrange two words in your post, "Do people really want a black iPhone that badly? Honestly I think the original white is more attractive". Do you agree with my statement? No, well good, you don't have to.

Xserve lags so far behind the Mac Pro in release, costs much more, has little to make it better and just as much to make it worse. I would love to have an Xserve, but I don't understand why anyone would buy one.
It's for buisnesses. It whouldn't be very practical for an individual. It whould be cool, but damn expensive to maintain for just one person.

In recent history, say the last five years, has Apple ever released new products in the Holiday belt (between Thanksgiving(US of course) and Christmas)? Nothing for me comes to mind.
But I do recall that Apple has head the release of new products for MacWorld when you'd think that they just missed the boat of the holiday shopping season.
I don't remember any new hardware in November, let alone December. (Please speak up and correct me, what was the most recent Apple hardware both announced and released Nov.1 - Dec. 31)
If Apple's going to break this tradition for a video iPod, do it before Thanksgiving!

You realize he is talking about illegal immigrants...not immigrants don't you?
I didn't see any mention of race either.I think "I'm a second class citizen in my own country" says it all.

Are people as outraged by this leak as I am? I can't believe it. He just stole Steve's thunder at a later secret event. This will end up costing Apple the element of surprise and the impact of a special Steve announcement. We've got to punish Lion's Gate somehow. We need to boycott all of their films and show that they cannot mess with Apple. The mothership is under attack! Who's with me? :mad:
