Man, Apple keeps getting lower and lower. First Walmart, now this?
What a shame that a company wants to get their products in the hands of the common folk. How dare they try to sell to anyone but the self-appointed elitist crowd?

Yes, flash has issues, but there are several sites that I want to use from the iPhone that require it. It would be good for the iPhone to support it.
Can you name off some of those sites and give their web address. Anyone else have sites they can name? I would like to see how much the lack of Flash on the iPhone cripples a web site. - thanks.

Sorry flashers. Flash is not the web no matter how much you beat the drum that it is. It's an abomination not unlike Microsofts Active X. So drop the flash-pipe, spark up a doob and read some Perl Camel books and once you've got a good head on then get some cookies and move over to some Ruby on Rails books or perhaps PHP. Get to know the 'real web'. :D
you forgot about Actionscript ;)

I always wonder what people do to their Windows 7 installs to make them crash.
On my desktop: I've put my windows 7 install through a lot but had to reinstall it around two months ago when my tweaking of WMP went awry. No biggie, boots up REALLY quickly thanks to 2 SSDs in RAID0. Nothing strange to report... also uses an ASUS motherboard, which has.. been through a lot to say the least. All of it was my own doing (overclocking-related...), but it hangs in there.
My laptop: ASUS U43J, revision X. Best laptop I've ever owned. 10 hour battery life (with wifi on), NVidia 310m, Optimus technology, 4 GB ram, windows 7 64 bit. Absolutely a wonderful experience.
I wonder if Apple would ever consider using ASUS motherboards.

Personally I see this as a big deal for a reason not many others have mentioned: bringing in the holdouts.
The Beatles are the big one of course, but the others (Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin, etc.) are still unsure about the whole digital music thing. If the biggest hold-out finally folds and goes for sale on-line, others will follow.
(and yes, I'm not exactly sure if the Rolling Stones or Led Zepplin are "holdouts", but they're not on iTunes or anywhere else that I can see... surely there are others?)

so what do the experts say to that? Does it mean a step up, down or a side-step on the professional–consumer scale?

So far I have yet to see an official confirmation from a reputable (read "not-rumour") web site.
The "confirmations" flying around all seem to be the rumour sites referencing each other.
Until I see iLounge or MacWorld get an invitation I won't be getting my hopes up for an secret-Apple-ninja-attack event.
Whilst I agree I am more hopeful given the density and consistency of the rumours. But we have been let down before, so tonight and a week from now will have me glued to the Mac in anticipation.

Now that the MBs have been updated and the US Apple Online Store is still down, I hope that the RAM prices have been cut. :rolleyes:
It sucks I gotta return my 4 day old MB for a new one but I would pay $140 more if it means getting a better MB that can last one more year (or more). :D

Yeah, iPods are a fad. Who knows how long this fad will last.
I can tell you one thing, is as long as Apple continues to make them better, and continue to listen to their customers.
It will stop being a fad, and it will be a way of life...

As great as Macs are, the price will still be a determining factor at the end of the day. I don't see it getting as popular as PCs are. Maybe 20%?
I think that is about right. Macs are still a premium and premium priced product. There is a limited market that can afford premium priced products. You can get a mini-tower system from HP/Dell/Acer for $700 and it costs > $2000 to get a similar performing system from Apple (even if the Apple does come with more "features"). Many people can't afford or justify the price difference.

About a year ago, my PowerBook G4 12" had a battery recall. Now I go to the website to check my replacement battery, and it appears to fall into the range of the recall again. However, I tried entering my information in the website and the form rejected the battery serial number even though I double-checked that it was within the range.
Now the website appears to be down (cannot connect, no timeout or anything).

Why is this on the front page? It's like saying that WalMart is now selling a junk tablet. Except this article says that Toys R Us and Best Buy is now selling iPads. This isn't front page news.
I have to disagree, but I'm on board with you about the front page news. I have to admit I was upset with that silly "jared guy" (or whatever his name was) standing in line for his ipad 2. How in the world is this news?
[BB Code: soapbox] It seems like so much of 'entertainment' or 'news' these days is giving 15 minutes of fame to those doing the things that most people have no interest in doing or even care about. Like, standing in line for 5 days for an iphone. Really? Who cares? I hope to never see front page "news" about some person standing in line to buy a luxury item while others in the world can't find a job...are buried under an earthquake...tornados...starvation...you pick[/soapbox]
At least this post has merit in that it tells those interested in buying where they can now get the ipad.

Apple never used flash for anything more than simple animated ads on their site! And moved away from that to Quicktime based video. If you were seeing Flash it was because you were on a PC with out quicktime and the Apple site was falling back to flash!
Flash is evil it is not searchable, it is a black stain on the open web!
Learn about it before you bash it. Flash IS searchable (Google something with "filetype:swf" to show only results occurring in SWF files). It's also deep-linkable (see greenplanetsearch.com). It's used for much more than ads (see pandora.com and youtube.com). Anyone who's taken a Flash class knows that its easy to detect the FlashPLayer, so non-flash content can be served up in the absence of the FlashPlayer.
Wake up: it isn't 1998 anymore: Flash is a full-fledged OOP environment now!

Oh come on, people in the USA already get the cheapest stuff. Quit complaining about everything, damn. Honestly, don't see what you don't understand. The world today is about money. Companies don't care where they build it, as long as they make the most money possible. And honestly, most consumers that are reasonable only think about paying the least for the same product.
I don't honestly give a damn where it was made. And I'm in Brazil. Oh, and by the way, things won't get cheaper here. They never do. Foxconn's profit margin is the only thing that will change. And it will rise.

1. Engadget are very reliable IMO.
2. This furthers the estimation that the next iPod will have an OLED display. You really can't read an eBook normally on an LCD display, cause your eyes will hurt and the battery will die afte 2 chapters.

Based on the way flash uses up resources on my MBA, I really don't want it on my iPhone.
If I really need it, I can wait till I get home and open it up on my desktop.

When you study harmony, who are you going to study the most? Bach
When you study Music History of the Baroque era, who is going to take the biggest part of the semester? Bach.
When you study Harpsichord or organ, who is the biggest composer you are going to study? Bach. Even when you do piano, you are going to study Bach at leas at the beginning before your Liszt and Rachmaninoff.
I know they teach popular music at universities. The course on popular is music is optional. My wife took a course on popular music at Montreal university. They studied the Beatles for about 20 minutes of the whole semester. I did my bachelor's in the USA, my master's in Paris, DEM in Paris and my doctorate at Montreal. I know 20 is minutes is the most the Beatles are going to get. That's how important they are to music history. Perhaps, they are important in popular music.
You think you know about music, but your knowledge is very limited. It is just plain ridiculous to compare them to Bach.
How about if you don't study these things, but just enjoy them for what they are.

How is Halo a Quake rip off? The games are nothing alike besides the fact that they are both first person shooters. And as long as we are talking about the Original Quake, it was more like a mid evil DOOM (I love Quake 1 btw)
Halo brought something new to the FPS genre when it came out and there have been plenty of "Halo ripoffs". The only thing Halo is guilty of is being a FPS.
It looks good and it looks like they brought back picking up health packs like Halo 1. I just wish the rest of the Halo games would come to Macintosh like the first one did.
I know I'm dreaming here but the only thing I like about Xbox 360 is the controllers and Halo and Perfect Dark. Only reason I had a Xbox 360. Its broken right now so I probably wont get this game.
By the way, am I the only person here who thinks Halo Combat Evolved was the best? Halo 3 comes in very close for me.

Steve looks unhealthy. He's not as sharp as he used to be. His keynotes were flawless. He stuttered several times, forgot what he was saying in mid sentence, and handed a considerable amount of the keynote to other people. Steve was a control freak in past WWDC keynotes.
I think he may be in not-so-good health. But I've said that before.
