Sorry, but Excel running on Windows (and to a lesser extend, Macs) is by far the standard, and for good reason. It runs wonderfully, on fast and horrendously slow computers.
I've been using Google Spreadsheets to some degree, and while it's kinda cool with the whole online thing, it's slow, lags, and not as good as Excel. Nobody's going to go to a class to learn Google Spreadsheets, they're going to learn Excel in school.
Excel sucks, it one of the worst programs for freeing memory back to the OS, it is an incredible resource hog and kills innovation for aspiring to professional applications. Other than that it is OK for a limited work scope.
Pages is a great app. Text only documents even come out looking better than MS Word. I think people don't like it because it isn't an exact clone of Word. It reminds me of people who won't try a Mac because the OS looks different and scares them haha.
Seriously, if you don't like the inspector then right click on the toolbar at the top and customize it. You would be surprised just how much it can be made to look and function just like Word. If you don't want the templates to come up at start then you can turn that off too.
I think that the two big shortcomings that I find with Pages is the lack of a full mail-merge functionality, which will be fixed with the release of "Lasso" or Numbers or Charts or whatever it is and the lack of a built-in thesaurus as I really don't like to copy and paste from the system wide one. The thesaurus issue is supposed to be fixed with the next version of Pages as well.
Sorry for not being clear. I use Pages and I like it very much. It is the NAME that is not ringing my bell.

Growth stocks don't generally pay dividends. Dividend paying stocks are a safety move, trading dividends for share price growth, and are meant to attract investors. Apple doesn't need to do that.
Be happy with the insane growth.It has a 315 billion market cap, it's not "growing" to $1 trillion, sorry. Apple is a mature company.

Anyone else notice that iTunes now has an option to burn CD-TEXT?
It's called "Include CD Text" and is in the burning preferences.

The shopping cart system I used for my wife's and my shop (A Trade For A Trade (http://www.atradeforatrade.com)) is OpenCart (http://www.opencart.com). I think it has the best code structure and admin panel design, so I also use when designing e-commerce shops for clients. In terms of your concerns:
1. OpenCart does have a template system, although it's not Smarty-based. It's pretty easy to learn though, as it's just HTML and PHP. Templates are uploaded via FTP and then you can switch between them via the admin.
2. OpenCart has many self-contained extensions, and some that require code edits. However, the recently-released vQmod (http://www.vqmod.com) system now allows for extensions that modify the code without actually modifying it. Extensions aren't installed through the admin like WordPress, but most well-written extensions are just upload-and-go.
I don't know if you'll find it the best fit, but that's my recommendation.

I don't think apple cut Kanye's performance from the webcast just because of a few F-bombs. They cut it because it sucked. Not only in content, but in quality. I can't say I'm a huge hip-hop fan, but I do know a decent performance when I see it. That was more like bad karaoke. Even though I'm sure I wouldn't have liked his performance if it were his whole posse playing on a studio album, the setup they had didn't do him justice.

[QUOTE=globalhemp]Yeah and Disney is shut down the service after 8 months with little or no interest in the service. And is going to cost them $30 million to shut it down. As a Disney and Apple sharehold I think it is a bad business model to be in.
Shutting down eh?
I would have thought that if Apple was getting into the MVNO business, they'd have been better off doing a joint venture with Disney. Ah well. Which network is Disney using anyway?

I know some folks will say get a Windows machine for gaming, but I only keep one laptop which is my 11" Air because it is awesome for everything I do. Now that I got that out of the way, my question is what are some optimum resolutions for games like Metro 2033 and Crysis 2 that give you the best fps while maintaining the best sharpness and clarity while playing? When I use the default 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 resolutions built into these games, I always get black bars on the sides. I usually get 20-30 fps with these resolutions and games; however I would prefer to play with a full screen.

I have tried all three...it doesn't seem to play with any of them :(
When open in MPEG Streamclip (click "open anyway" when file isnt recognized), click "stream info" - what does it say?
Edit: BTW to be precise - sadly theres no easy free fix I know :-/ Check this out http://imnotbruce.blogspot.com/2009/07/fixing-corrupted-quicktime-files.html

Imagine where the CD would be today if Philips had never licensed it.
Who still uses CDs? hehe
They're large, clumsy, rigid, and prone to scratching. So are DVDs. And HD-DVDs/Blu-Ray. When are content providers going to get some brains and start licensing on read-only solid state? How many MB is an hour of decently endoded music? 256? We're talking a couple bucks on flash chips here.
Hehe... just a long-time vision of mine... which has yet to be realized. And I couldn't help but make fun of poor old CDs. They're going the way of the Cassette Tape. Who ever thought Mr "Scratch me and I'm useless" CD'son was a good idea. ;) :D

Why pay $200 to some skecthy website, when you can go to Walmart and pay $200 for the Nokia E71 Straight Talk.

I totally agree with you. haha... I hope it does discourage some from lining up.
I agree with that. Of course, I do hope that people who weren't able to reserve and/or pre-order due to AT&T issues are able to get their i4 ASAP.

The startup screen used to cause delays for some of my clients. Disable the startup menu. Click "Dont Show Again" on it if it finally loads. Try relaunching it after that.

Maybe someone here can shed some light on this problem. I am using DP2 and for some reason, preview wont forget files after they've been closed. All of the files in the list have been closed, but for some reason, they are still displayed in this list after they've been closed. I can click on them and they open like they were just minimized. Any ideas what could be going on here?
That's kinda like a "Recently Opened/Edited" feature. It's been here since DP1. Once you get used to it it can be quite handy. :)

The ipod is dying. The touch is the only one which will survive the longest. People these days just like touch screens with features packed to the rafters and the classic, nano and shuffle are falling by the wayside.

With Comex no linger working on the ipad2 JB looks like d0fxyn is the only hope at this point. Wow, not sure why but didn't think it would be this sure when I bought my ipad2.
I don't think he is fake. He has a facebook page and twitter. He is saying he is releasing it tomorrow. Guess we will see tomorrow.
