I don't know where you people live, but I hear all the time from people on here acting like At&t is SO HORRIBLE. I live in the midwest and I never have any problems with At&t...full service everywhere I go and rarely any dropped calls. I've had them all, Verizon (which completely blows), sprint, nextel etc.... At&t has the best service...
i live near the '4 dropped calls in one mile' zone that stewart is talking about..
i used to use sprint and never had dropped calls.. with att, it's a daily occurrence..
once i get out of the city, things improve.

I tried some of the Boddingtons Pub Ale when I was in Canada a few years ago, rather different from the version we have over here.
I wonder if that is the same version we get in the states? I also really like Old Speckled Hen Ale also. I don't know if they are the same from across the pond thou even thou it says it is brewed there.

If you realy want an xserve and can't afford one. I'd suggest buying a 1U rack mount PC case putting an ASUS mainboard inside of it and installing BSD UNIX. A Mac without a graphic card and with no mouse or keyboard is just a UNIX box.Quoted for truth! :D

I'm pretty excited about a new finder. With vista having such a cool (okay, it's lots of eyecandy and that sells right?) interface it is making aqua kind of dull.
I'm positive Apple can come up with something that works but looks good and not just vista's eye candy.

Why is their no looting in Japan?
the answer is very simple ... The population of Japan is made up of mostly Japanese culture.
The guy on CNN last night summed it up best ... there is a bit of looting ... and it is being committed by foreigners.

Here is my guess... I recently setup mac os x mobile sync for my laptop/desktop combination and it is sheer genius.
It basically gives you the same desktop on all your machines and synchronizes your laptop home directory w/ a set up scripts that run on login/logout and background
The problem w/ the setup is it is really meant for corporate farms as you need to set a slew of things up working properly (ldap, kerberos) to do properly. My guess is they are going to revamp the scripts and have an easy setup so people can "synchronize" on the fly btwn different machines so all accounts look exactly the same (but not using afs). This will be a mobile user for desktop and laptop configurations.. it'll waste some space but hard drives are cheap and everyone is "synced"
this will be the new and improved "sync" ... btw if this isn't what they are going to do i still recommend taking a look at mac os x's mobile user configurations as it really is brilliant (as it also has the side effect of auto-backing up your laptop to a different machine))

Its not.. It is Yasha Mykhaylovych - Yasha is the Ukrainian/slavic name for Joshua.. Mykhaylovych is my patronomic or middle name. Plus, I have a son named Yasha also.
Omg you have offspring, poor kid. Being a russian/ukrainian myself, i've never dealt with your type of attitudes in my community.

Forgot about my calling my Cingular sales rep and begging for first dibs ... $10-billion in Apple stock traded today ... Valuation was up many billions of dollars. Forget Jenna Jamison -- Steve Jobs performance are truly pay-per-view of the finest kind!
Can you imagine what would have happened if some of this stuff was actually in-stock at the Apple retail stores!

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.

Because the press can latch onto anything that makes someone look bad and hammer on despite facts. The press do not have the same goals as Apple does - they want to sell a story. Apple is trying to sell a phone. If the press can sell a story that reveals a failure out of a successful company and get viewers in the process they will do it. The fact is, the media is not always limited by the facts. They sell controversy.
And that "fact" may not be an actual fact. The world is much larger than your own personal perception of it. This is the world that companies play in.
He can very well say that if people are making false assumptions about things.
But it is not a "false assumption" for people to say, "when my hand, my finger, my face, etc. come into contact with this antenna, the signal drops." That is neither false, nor an assumption. It happens, I can replicate it. So can many other people.
Do I know the reason for it? No. I have no idea the reason for it. I don't need to know the reason for it. I just know that it happens.

From the interview I got the feeling that the inside of the machine will be just the same as the current models.
Kinda like the black macbook is the same as the white macbook, but with a bigger hard drive.
You know what? It's just Microsoft just trying to turn a profit...I think this may have really been a bad move on Microsoft's part...Having multiple SKUs isn't a great idea either...I think Sony's got some brownie points for moving towards just one SKU, the "elite" 60 GB PS3.

heya,
Man, you Mac fanbois are funny...lol.
I just bought my first Mac two weeks ago, and I'm liking the hardware. But the one thing that does turn me off is the rabid fanboism of the Apple community *sigh*. There are many lovely Apple afficandos out there, but it's the overly vocal minority that turns me off.
It's like the less they know, the louder they shout. I think this thread shows the level of immaturity and ignorance quite well.
Please people, instead of crawling out of your mother's basement to yell "Apple rules! Nokia Sucks!", can you please do some research.
Groklaw has a fairly nice issue on the writeup:
http://www.groklaw.net/articlebasic.php?story=20100828132209651
with an analysis by people probably far more qualified than you.
Nokia's patent complains are largely based on hardware - things like GSM, wireless radio transmission etc. Things that take billions of dollars of R&D, and that you can't really work around if you want to make say...gee...a cellular telephone?
Apple's patents are largely on nice, shiny things, and how certain user elements are arranged on the screen. Yes, they are a master of polish, and they're anally retentive and perfectionist in their products - but don't kid yourselves, it's much easier to work around these "patents" on the look and feel, than it is to make a phone that doesn't infringe on 20 years worth of RF and wireless technology.
And look - a smartphone is a mobile phone, kiddies. It's not some magicaly new device all on its own. At the end of the day, it has a radio transmitter, it connects to the GSM network. It's a cellphone, with PDA functionality built in, ok.
And Apple isn't litigious? What a joke? Apple is one of the more litigious tech companies out there. You compare them to Google, or IBM, or heck, even Microsoft recently, and they make them look like the Mother Teresa of patent generosity. Apple are as bad as Oracle, in my books.
Apple will sue anything left right and centre. Remember their patents on things like "multi-touch", or "touchscreen phones". What a joke. As I said above, I admire Apple (and I'm admiring my new Mac) for it's polish, and a good user experience.
But I'm an engineer by profession, and I don't underestimate how much more hard work it actually takes to create a robust, well-engineered phone that works...as a phone. The whole iPhone 4G antenna fiasco is a classic example - this was something that companies like Nokia, Motorola and RIM have figured out the hard way, with years and years of research and engineering - and it's something that Apple will hopefully catchup to.
Cheers,

I'm not a fanboi. In fact, I've been called a Apple bashing troll here before.
But I have to say... Keep your day job. You're probably a better engineer than you are an analyst. As far as cell phones go...
Apple is suing HTC.
Nokia is suing SEVEN CELL PHONE MANUFACTURERS!
And Apple is counter-suing as a defense mechanism no doubt.
Apple is being sued by at least 4 companies related to cell phones.

guys, I think people are so obsessive about the iPhone because the (US) phone market is kind of pathetic. Most of the really good phones you have to purchase unlocked. Has anybody actually played with the half-assed "chocolate" phone? It's horrible and it's still selling.
Apple has the potential to completely tear up the market. None of the carriers are very mac friendly. Using your phone as a modem usually involves some sort of crack, and it's also hard to update firmware since everything is for PC. If apple can do anywhere near what it did with the iPod but with the phone industry......it's over.
In Belgium, it's forbidden to sell the phone hooked to one provider, and prohibiting others, it's actually quite relaxing not having to worry about hidden fees or restrictions when buying a phone>
But on topic, I think there is definitly a market for a phone with a lot of capabilities, and an Apple designed user interface, because there is not one single phone that has a good quality, and is easy to use. People thought the MP3 player market was crowded and saturated before the iPod came out.
I just hope they stop making product that just have an i in front of what it is. I think a lot of people are getting enough of all this iStuff
