I watched it yesterday, but it was off can on.
Phil is a really nice guy and I like him, but I don't like him as a presenter. I was SJ did the whole thing. However I don't think he was ready, and that have the other 3 help were a last minute thing which is why they were all kind of off.
Haveing that french guy talking about vista was a really bad choise. I could not understand what he was saying.
I also did not like it when Jobs was reading what to do.
Hopefully Paris will make up for these things.
I'm totally with you on the french dude, also is eyes looked shifty, could have just been a poor stream, but him and Phil just looked to anxious on stage... Phil was much more suited to the iChat lol
But SJ reading the notes, you gotta bear in mind that was an 1.5hour presentation, and with the busy schedule he has, you gotta cut him some slack.
Finally the other dude, can't remeber his name who helped to present OSX.5, Time Machine etc, I actually thought he was very good, and I got a good vibe from him, he felt so into everything he was doing and showing, now whether thats because he's a good presenter or whtther he is truly into Apples, well lets hope its the latter if SJ steps down, I think he gots the ambition to push Apple along...
But long live the king!
Cheers

Put me up for own at rental prices. Bury Blockbuster, Hollywood Videos and Netflix.
Store bought DVDs are about as low in price as they can get given manufacturing, shipping, warehousing-- which is why a $4 rental can survive. Digital distribution can get the cost to own to that same price point (or below) and the studios get a payment from every viewer. Win-win-win as far as I can tell.
Normally, how much are store bought DVDs in the US & Canada these days? I personally don't have any desire to buy DVDs. Like others here, I typically watch a movie just once. However, I've recently been able to justify purchasing some because (a) they are considerably cheaper than 2 movie tickets, and (b) my local video store's new ownership doesn't seem to like purchasing DVDs.
I recently bought Wedding Crashers, Firewall, and Syriana because they were only about 10 dollars each. Not bad. Children's movies-- one type than I can easily justify buying because of the multiple viewings-- are slightly more.

actually I would claim their research is probably spot on. There is not very many people who will buy a $400 system which should have wi-fi built in and since it doesn't will go spend another $100 for the MS antenna. That is outrageous. I for one will continue to use a cable when every thing else I have is wireless because I will not be forced into their marketing scheme.
Well the comedy in it is that the consumer desn't use Wi-Fi because it's expensive. But now, if it were built in, don't you think more people would use the built in wi fi instead of ethernet :D <-note teh smiley.

While it shows that Princeton is getting more macs is partially good news. It shows that Macs are back in fashion, unlike when I was in college where mac were considered for only people who didn't want to learn how to use a computer, and the person with the Dell or Alienware was considered hip. But this is still a bad side because it still reconfirms the current myth "While Macs are in general better then PCs, only rich people can afford for the luxury." Princeton has a reputation of its students full of rich kids. So they are getting MacBooks with their Fancy Mercedes. So this news shows that Macs are now trendy but it also make them seem out of reach of the common man. (While my non-sciencetific price research has shown that per-feature Macs are better price) Compared to other prebuilt systems.

I really can't see Apple getting more content at the same price as Netflix, or the same content at a lower price.
Granted Netflix can't sustain their pricing model forever, but Apple doesn't have many instances of making "better" and "cheaper" at the same time.
Have you heard of that tablet device Apple makes? The iPad or something like that?

RAIN RAIN RAIN! LET IT RAIN, LET IT RAIN, LET IT RAIN!
Supposed to later but it looks and feels like another clear one to me. Here's hoping though.
45 minutes till play resumes. I bet Giles and Jones had trouble sleeping last night. I got the train this morning at Putney and it was even more packed than yesterday with people on their way to Vauxhall for the day. Gits.
To all the US members lost here, this is the game where you can play five matches at five days a piece and still draw!! Brilliant.

Having been a CIT (prior to OIT) support staffperson at Princeton, I felt that the upper administration seemed to be focused on Windows (could it have been the academic-relationship with W. Gates, by its former VP of IT) and turned a cool shoulder toward the Mac.
Even colleagues there now, in systems, have a Mac Mini to be familiar with (however, they still use Windows and Unix ... but they need to. Adding or returning to the mac makes sense for students. It's just easier to use/configure).
Just remember that this requires the need for broader support. And for this, they (university comptrollers) need to start "allocating" funds to the right places.
Afterall, what good is a campus, that is now winning back mac-using students, but lacks the financial direction toward keeping "up with other campuses" by allocating value to those departments that assist the students, staff and administrators.
I applaud this news. Go Tigers!:)

From the article: "His company�s device only comes onto the market shortly before then and would benefit hugely because the new iPod would sport a screen that filled the full side of the device and consequently offer higher resolution video."
Any guess what that device is?

You can make an avchd edit and then when you have a picture lock, go back to the original, transcode automatically the footage you need, do your color correction and effects with the better files and export a pro res file or whatever you need.
The only benefit to transcoding prior to effects/grading would be to aid system performance. It will not result in better image quality.

When you preordered the iPhone from Best Buy did they check your AT&T account first to see if you qualify?

Um regarding the SATA II thing: from this OWC blog page... (http://blog.macsales.com/10050-firmware-update-enables-6gbs-in-2011-imacs?APC=XLR8YourMac09)
So, relevant or not, happy now?:)
Some people on the Apple QA team are really clueless, don't you think?
How on earth could Apple accidentally not enable SATA 6 Gbps on a system if anyone on watch is paying attention?
Another embarrassing faux pas for the children from Cupertino.

We were pulling into a parking space at Z Tejas on 6th St in Austin and as I was approaching the curb this guy walking on the sidewalk sort moved towards us like he was going to step off the curb. He had just recognized some friends of his and was greeting them and I guess didn't notice our car (it's quiet). I had to stop and wait for him to move out of the way. I turned to my wife and said "If my foot had slipped I would have run over the guy from Ed!" It was Justin Long.
He is very, very skinny BTW. The pant legs of his jeans were the size of shirt sleeves. I was that skinny once - when I was a fetus.:D

I really don't think they will actually market this and if they do the modules will cost a fortune.

How can Apple design a phone that will make it impossible for a 13 year old to scream into while driving her SUV?? I think you might be putting too much pressure on Apple there. Maybe a shock collar that can detect the high pitched squeal of an adolescent teenage girl...hooked into the ignition of the car so when it detects the girls voice and the engine engaged at the same time.....zzzzzzztttttttt!!!!! Ok that went way to far. Apple can make a cool phone...but it is still up to the people not to be idiots while using them.
If a 13 year old girl is driving an SUV we have a larger problem than her phone!

That would be cool. iPod Shuffle (USB stick) -> iPod Shuffle (clip) -> iPod Shuffle (earbuds) -> iPod Shuffle ear implants.
Add a glowing apple logo implant into my neck along with brain to ipod control and I'm so there. :rolleyes:

Nice! I saw a Slightly Stoopid concert when they were up at one of the casinos here in Shreveport, Louisiana.
They are hitting up a few places in Texas soon. Might want to check it out.
