When AppleTV was announced I felt a sense of excitement - finally Apple's set-top box had arrived and Mac fans wanting to bring the experience into their livingroom could do without feeling too much like what they really need is a Windows Media Centre.
Then when iPhone happened I couldn't quite believe it. I was absolutely stunned, despite all the rumours, and was incredibly worried about what it might look like. Could Apple produce an ugly design? The phone has been designed in so many shapes and sizes that surely they can't come up with something completely unique?
When I actually saw the first pictures I was blown away. Now I'm desperately waiting for the video of the keynote to come out so I can see the handset in action. I can completely understand why Steve dedicated almost the entire keynote to the iPhone because it is definitely Apple's most important product launch to date.
Of course I was disappointed that there was no demonstration of Leopard or announcements about the Mac's, but that's obviously not what this Macworld was meant to be about. Instead I now hope we'll see special events over the coming months to give us all the bits we'd have normally received here. What does worry me, as a new switcher to Mac and somebody who has switched his company over with him, is the name change. Dropping 'computer' from the name suggests that the Macs aren't the core business activity any longer. While the name better reflects the direction Apple is going in anyway, the Mac platform needs all the endorsement it can get and I don't think the old name was causing anybody any bother.
All in all it looks to have been an excellent keynote. The iPhone has obviously taken some incredible engineering and I look forward to all the juicy details becoming public over the next few days, weeks and months.

This is why I switched back in 1998. I still have friends asking me to get the virus out of their PC's because their kids insists on downloading free songs/files from everywhere.

This is the very reason why I think that Apple's policy should be reconsidered. Why would content providers such as the Financial Times be compelled to offer their content on iOS, when Apple requires them to (additionally) use the in-app purchases by which the providers lose the advantage of using their own register and keeping the entire revenue, without having to share it with Apple.
The Financial Times didnt have this new revenue stream before Apple offered it to them. Why wouldnt apple share profits? To me its more about keeping companies away from data collecting on their prey...i mean peons... i mean customers.

As a verizon customer, I didn't run out and get the iPhone for 2 reasons:
1. I figured the iPhone 5 would be out in June
2. Verizon isn't as lenient about moving up your New Every Two date as they used to be.
My contract ends in April 2012, but Verizon told me I can upgrade this December when the iPhone 5 (allegedly) comes out :)

4 years ago I hiked the Camino de Santiago, an old pilgrimage route that goes across Spain (850 km)
I had a diskman at the time and used for about 5 minutes during the walk.
I found that it ruined the whole experience.
sometimes the best music is absolute silence
For hiking, I agree.
As for running, I gotta have my tunes...

Well, I may be the first. I've been devising a plan to counter strike edesigns Keira renegade. The only thing holding me back is a decision of whom I will use to attack. Call it Battle of the Hottest Avatars.
Let the battle commence!
Actually I have seen a kinder and gentler edesign since the mini-mod topic was brought up.
Congrats and best wishes to all!
Well you know, everyones got to do a little bit of kissing up now and then :eek: ;) :D

I've have a weird bug probably from around 4.1 where the repeat 1 button in the iPod on iPhone doesn't work sometimes. It gets quite annoying and every time there is an update I hope it will fix it!

I have a black iPhone 4 but I am gonna list it on ebay and get the white one.
I'm gonna do this partly because I have wanted the white since day 1 and I want a change having had the black since launch... Doesn't sound logical to most I know but hey I don't care!
Secondly, having sold many iPhones on ebay, I know that the white versions sell well and when it comes to the time to sell again shortly before the iPhone 5 comes out (in say September) - the white will do better than the black would.
All in all I expect to pay around �80 for the switch from black to white and, as I say, I expect to get a better price for the white when it comes to sell in the future.
Still, a completely well thought out, illogical decision to most I know I know lol!

You are/were 1 to 2 years late with putting out this Verizon iPhone.
Android has gained adoption...
Exactly. People weren't going to sit around and wait, and not many were willing to switch to AT&T with how great Verizons coverage is, and how poor AT&T's is.

One really talented engineer can't support two elderly people who demand a high quality of life, and do you realize what massive immigration to Europe is going to do? It will break their culture.
If you're talking about the advance of medicine, don't sweat it. It works across all ages. Today's entry level workers will retire when they are 80+ and be able to work like they were 20 years younger. You can count on that from the "legislative" arena as well.
Now ironically, taking your words in a litteral sense....one of the big efforts of Japanese engineers has been to develop robots that will assist the elderly since they have so many and are expecting more. And these robots are also expected to be "freindly" for emotional support and stuff too...as is one of the major focuses on MIT's Artificial Intelligence lab. The guy from iRobot corp heads those efforts and is in the Discovery Channels all the time. At this point they are able to fool kids (and many lay adults) into thinking that the crude machine is "alive".

Red is screwed, yellow is sucky, green is above replacement... You don't want birth rate to drop below 2.1, Turkey the only country above replacement is 2.14...
Yes, that is an issue for concern. However, how is this relevant to gay rights? Despite the birth rate in the UK being around 2 (1.96 if I remember correctly) there are, sadly, plenty of children/babies in need of a good home. Recently, the law was changed to ensure homosexuals would be able to adopted children if they want. Lesbian couples could also ask for a donor, and gay couples for a surrogate.
We need to move beyond the idea that marriage is about a man and a women reproducing. Firstly, it isn't about that. Secondly, there is no reason same-sex couples can't raise just as many children as heterosexual couples.

This doesn't fit in the 75x75 size or under the 39.1K filesize limit so it won't get counted... sorry.

You can fix it to fit a tar and that'd be fine, but all entries not in the correct format will be disqualified.
and it's also in the rules that it should be a new avatar, not one seen on macrumors before.
