Another shameful twisting of the facts by 5p.
By the way, the bulk of billy's money is now the property of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. They do have some control over it but it's no longer his and in a way, is a "National Resource".
All rights are irrevocably connected to responsibilities. Why is that so difficult for libertarians to understand?
He has this extreme right view he sees the world through. Warps reality and all context.

I miss the old Apple... The Apple that had the great, funny commercials. And also the fun to watch commercials. I remember these, they were the BEST. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN3RU8pJR74
So why don't they make these anymore?

i love macs i love the simplicity but theres nothing out there
that will topple microsoft office period.
I actually don't think this is true anymore. It was a year or two ago, but Apple is making such unbelievable headway in market share, I truly believe if they were to release a much-improved Pages/Keynote and bundle it with a true spreadsheet App, they would have a very large majority of Apple users signing up willingly.
Office for Mac is a horrendous, unstable, and ridiculously poor application. Word is awful, Excel can't run half the Macros that are made in the PC version, and Entourage is laughably easily to corrupt. I think with some clever engineering and a little good faith (ie. bundling the software with OS X or at least keeping the price very low) Apple could really put a dent into Office for Mac use very quickly.

I just saw the update available in software update and clicked install. Pity as I wanted to see whether the app store would show it as an update. (I bought Aperture the traditional way rather than through the app store)

Agreed, but the latest nano is pretty poor, was surprised, seems very unapple-like. There is room for a good ultra portable small music player (gyms etc, I see so many ipods) and for them to please, please make a good quality headphone as standard, the ones that come with ipods (of any price) is pathetic. So, let's see what they do.
I bought a new nano specifically for the gym, I have a 160gb Classic that stays in my car, and an iPhone. Still love the dedicated for music iPods.

I looked into getcwd, and I was able to get the directory of the executable. I wrote some code to modify the path to go up a couple of folders, and I verified that it did the correct modifications. Furthemore, I found that the program worked just fine when I opened the package contents of the .app file and ran the executable inside the MacOS folder from Terminal.
However, the .app will not run from Finder.

Hi guys,
There's been an influx of analyst opinions recently... so we decided to try to track analyst predictions using the wiki. I had thought about a more automated system, but I think the wiki might actually be easier.
Basically, the ideal is to create a wiki page for each analyst who comes out with predictions about Apple, list their predictions, dates, and in the end if it comes true or not.
Any strong opinions on the names of the articles? I think it should be individuals rather than company names, since it seems the predictions come from individuals more consistently
Examples:
Analyst_Charles_Wolf
Charles_Wolf
Charles_Wolf_(Analyst)
Predictions_Charles_Wolf
etc...

I might line up at Laval.
Anyone have info on if we can buy just the phone, without a plan, and then jailbreak it so it can use my current rogers plan?
This launch is going to be so lame, I doubt you'll need to line up anywhere.
You can use your existing Rogers plan and carry it through. Data will be 5� KB ($5/MB, or approximately $7 to view www.macrumors.com. ~$12 to view a Facebook page with a lot of apps on it.)
I recommend not buying it. Go with the Samsung Instinct. $10 unlimited data.

I looked at the Bluetake 500 that you have McGarry...looks pretty good...how much?
I got it at a local store for $50. But I have seen it online for as low as $38-40, plus shipping maybe. I found the best prices on CNET's comparison tool.
eCost (www.ecost.com/ecost/shop/detail.asp?dpno=493694) seems to have them on some sort of promotion that appears to bring the price closer to $30. I say "seems" and "appears" because it involves some sort of savings club membership. Apparently free shipping too. I've never bought from them.

Does anyone know how many iPad 2s the Apple Store has in stock? Is it typical to sell out on the first day during this type of product release?

I have 10.5 being shipped to my work and I'll be installing it on my PowerBook there.
I get off work at 4 and may stop by the Apple Store 5th Ave. to see what's going on.

SQL uses the keyword WHERE to limit the selection:
SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE category = 0;
Note the single equals sign. You can join conditions in the usual manner:
SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE category = 0 AND gender = 'm';
SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE category = 0;

I need a firewire DVD R/W as, in case of need, I could do the boot by means of it, as my Mac mini is a PowerPC one (I read that only Intel Mac can boot by means of USB optical drives).
By the way, what do you think about the Hamlet HEXD5UA-D DVD R/W ? It has both firewire and usb.
are you in the uk or ireland? it uses 220 power. I would not be able to comment on it I don't think it sells in usa we have 110/120 power.

yes wait for the powerbook G5
(heheheheheheh i have always wanted to say that)
since there will never be a powerbook G5 enjoy the waitYes, definitely wait for the PowerBook G5.
>fiftyfive
Don't you read any of the recent new from Apple?
Like the switch to Intel in 2006 -- which would make a PowerBook G5 as likely to be introduced as Pauly Shore being elected President.

Although the Flurry article spins this as being positive for ios/android gaming, I'm not really sure that the numbers support that interpretation. Last year, they included only iphones and ipod touches in their data and found that they had 5% of the market. This year, they added iPads, android smartphones, and android tablets (huge market that...), and found that the numbers only went up to 8%. I don't really find that to be very impressive.
Meanwhile, consoles, all of which are ~5 years old, increased their market share from 71% to 76%. In other words, consoles' market share increased almost twice as much smartphone/tablets' did, even though the ios/android data now includes a lot of devices that weren't counted previously.
And - to reiterate what a lot of other posters have said - touchscreen gaming is can be excellent for puzzle-type games, such as angry birds. It does a good job with accelerometer based games, such as doodle jump. But it is kludgy and inferior for most other type of games, including FPS games, and it will remain so until there is some sort of standardized controller with actual buttons and joystick(s).

I wonder if we started pooling some money together as a bounty for the first team to jailbreak it, if it would motivate more people to work on it. I wouldn't mind throwing in $20-30.
Either way I know I'm going to donate some to whatever team puts their release out first, it's really cool that these guys put in all their free time to do things like this. I can't wait to play some snes games with the wii classic controller pro on my iPad :D
I hope superbrothers sword and sorcery is good, I just bought it and I'm hoping it's as good as everyone says it is.
Don't think the people that do this, do it for money. Think they do it for the fact they can do it. That is why I think the jbs are always free.

Another thing Apple should do in a redesigned ACD is to get rid of the external brick power supply.
I don't mind having external brick, it fits nicely under my PowerMac. What I would want to see is longer cable between host and display!! I'd kill for a 5 meter cable.

If you are going for 2TB drives, the WD Caviar Green drives are among the favorites. It's been reported they have some issues regarding the high load cycle counts (http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&xhr=t&q=WD%20caviar%20green%20high%20load%20cycle%20count&cp=10&pq=wd%20green%20high%20load%20cycle%20count&pf=p&sclient=psy&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=WD+caviar+green+high+load+cycle+count&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=6cbe03e6833a46ef) due to the firmware...

It's a bit of work, but the high load cycle counts due to excessive head parking can be prevented.
