I think it's a computer that will fit inside your home and possibly carry around with you (There's something in the Air), that can use your modem's telephone line to connect to the WWW and display text and graphics.

Waited at Best Buy an hour before they opened to get one, even after reading a few messages in this thread about it only being reservations (call it dumb optimism). Unfortunately, same situation with reservations. Went to the Apple Store and they had ~16 iPads in the configuration I wanted (16GB WiFi, 6 black and 10 white). Should have just tried the Apple Store first. :rolleyes:

One of the Mac screen savers will do mosaics of photos from a folder... it's kind of cool to watch them zoom out into a mosaic, but can get hypnotic... ;)
Mine for today... from last summer's archives, since I've been somewhat dormant the last couple of weeks or so...

Nice dog shot. I really like the bokeh and the dog's expression.
Was able to score a virtually unused M8 a few weeks ago . Tried it out in Midtown and Central Park . Gotta get used to using a rangefinder again .

If people shelled out $1000+ for tickets to WWDC, you can bet that unless they are obscenely rich, they're there for the actual conference.
:rolleyes:
Definitely. These people are here for the conference and workshops, not some 30 minute media event. :)

man i wish 3D would just disappear...
soon it will disappear... there was the 3D spike back then than it disappeared and came back like what 2 years ago?
and this is the worst rumor ever! Apple will never do this gimmick!

Any chance of full change log? Haha guess that's too much to ask......
I wouldn't expect a 'full changelog' from Apple given it isn't something that they really do - to the disappointment of many unfortunately.
Still no Verizon version?
Seems like Verizon isn't getting the love as AT&T is getting. :cool:
I'd say that Verizon maybe blocking the update because they want to make sure that all hell doesn't break loose once it is released. It would be interesting to see what the justification is, maybe 5.0 will be the 'big change' for iOS on AT&T and Verizon phones?
I hate how you have to download the entire OS every time there's a small update like this. 666MB for a few bug fixes... Also, what's up with the 666MB? Maybe we should stay away from this update guys lol.
This has been a problem ever since the App Store appeared to; on the Mac one is told to re-download a 4GB application for a few piddly updates in much the same way one is forced to re-download the whole operating system. I do wonder what their rational actually is - when they recompile the whole operating system they're unable to create a piecemeal patch (difference between the new version and old version)? That when they update one thing there is an ABI change that requires the whole thing to be re-installed?

It's how they get round the fingermarks on touchscreen issue. From Tuesday we'll all be using MultiBreath™
I'm just hoping it's nothing along the lines of "Welcome to the Social". That would be seriously rubbish.

After many beautiful years together, the time has finally come to part ways with my PowerBook. I've put her through some tough times, especially during university and now the power lead is cracked, the screen latch it broken so she doesn't go to sleep, the graphics card is fried so there are weird lines and artifacts on the screen, the palm rest looks like I took an angle grinder to it and its not attached to the case properly, the 3rd party battery is rubbish the button doesn't click properly.
I've been saving up like crazy for a new MBP with planned after sales upgrades etc, and I'm going crazy here!
Just UPDATE PUUURRRRRLLEEEEAAAASSSSEEE!:(

Haha, yes... When I typed my reply above, I didn't even consider 3G. Come on guys... LOL
This will obviously be intended for WLAN's. Apple doesn't even do *FaceTime* over 3G.Seriously lol at all the people who think it'll be over 3G and such.
They won't even let you download any app over 10MB over 3G, you think theyll let you do a 600MB+ update?
This is a welcome feature, frees up a USB port on my laptop and is very convenient :D
umm did you guys even read the article? if apple was going to do it over wi-fi only why in the world would they ever need to negotiate with verizon? They wouldn't... :rolleyes:
:DSeems a quite big deal~
Hope it won't be slower than now!
well downloading an OTA update certainly isn't going to be faster than downloading it on your home network...
Hey Apple, way to leave your initial customers with AT&T in the dark. Great thinking! Why would they implement this with Verizon before AT&T? How about just do it at the same time!
Dumb!
how do you know att customers won't get the same feature... article makes no mention of it?

I reaaally don't think Apple will implement this. It goes against everything they stand for.
every year a new igadget comes out, adn the forums are full of "apple will never produce that *insert complaint* monstrocity, it goes against everything that apple stands for
-Apple likes ergonomic, comfortable experiences. 3D gives people headaches
People spend their lives looking at the world in 3d, so perhaps you should be a bit more specific aboiut the implementation of 3d may cause headaches. Now how does that assumption align to glasses free 3d?
-Apple hates styluses and other mandatory accessories. In most implementations of 3D, you have to wear glasses
Most is a magical word, which is why there is another set of words like glasses-free that is important
-Apple is moving toward high-resolution displays. In many implementations, 3D halves the effective resolution
best of both worlds
-Apple is all about content - high quality software, UI, etc. 3D encourages gimmicks
apple thrives of gimmicks, as longas they have tangible value
-Apple's mobiles have standard-setting battery life. 3D will likely drain batteries - by doubling the rendering requirement, increasing the required backlighting, or by keeping a camera active to track your head.Likely?
"3D" screams of unnecessary spec. There are so many drawbacks and so few benefits. If Apple has yet to implement Blu-ray, it will definitely be awhile before we see 3D.
Unnecessary to who? The only person who cares is the apple boss who signs off the spec in the hopes it will make apple more profit. A touch screened ipod nano is a poiinless spec, but somebody signed if off for production.

What a fabulously foolish and ignorant statement.
I've known several people who have died in car accidents therefore most people die in car accidents :rolleyes:.
I personally live in the middle of Richmond VA which is filled plenty of lower class African Americans, who I walk by on my way to school every day. And in the last three years no one has offered to sell me food stamps. Therefore no one EVER abuses the food stamp program :rolleyes:.
If you can't produce some statistical data than your just making **** up.
I can't produce numbers, so I'm just making it up. That is a very stupid statement, you just made. I didn't mention the race of the people that wanted to sell me food stamps. For the record, most of the time, it has white people that I know.
You bringing up race, is just your foolish way to try to discredit me. My opinion that food stamps are abused by most, is by observing what strangers in the check out, are buying with food stamps, and seeing what people I know, bring home.

How cool would it be if apple released a 10th anniversary edition ipod classic that was 320gb (double current) and also came with a cable that could attach to an ipad and the ipod would act as a media drive to play music and movies off of.

are you people making this all this fuss over C2D MB's coming out? or is there more expected from the update....like the true ipod video? i dont see how a C2D MB could bring so much excitement....there's not THAT much difference in performance.
There might be a few more surprises with the MB as well, like there was with the MBP.

I love the idea of a movie section on the iTMS, but without a next gen iPod Video to go with it, I don't think it will do well. I say this because I just have a feeling Apple will offer the movies at current resolutions, which is awful for movies.
If they offer the movies at least at DVD quality with true surround, I'm on board.
But I still want an iPhone. ;)

Apple also doesn't have to sell their products in every store. I am sure Apple could say that they couldn't do that if they want to continue selling the iPad 2. I'd be very surprised if Apple knew about this and allowed it.
My guess is that since managers are pressuring the sales staff to sell the add-ons so hard, that they are just saying its required.
Working in a retail shop (photo goods); I can say that margins on hard goods is so razor thin, requiring ad-ons makes sense. It also keeps scalpers away for the likes of the iPad 2.

I believe that the Nanos can play gapless. I looked on the tech specs page on Apple's site but i don't see it. I could be wrong but i'm pretty sure that the Nanos can play gapless.
As for my opinion on the nanos...
I dislike them. I wasn't fond of the Mini asthetics wise. Durable, for sure. But I just don't find them as nice to look at, and now that the Nanos are the same tacky colors, it's back to the ugliness. I know people were buying up the Minis, I'm just personally not a fan of the styling... If you all want to buy them up go ahead, just count me out :p
the styling is a matter of personal preference...i like the white/black lucite look but for durability the aluminum will work great. no real need for a cover/case.
however, that's certainly not the main reason to spring for the new nanos (or is it?)...8GB flash drive...gapless playback...24hr. battery...ummm, them's some pretty good specs in favor of the new nanos. gapless playback...yummy.
p.s. when will amazon start selling 'em? free shipping and no tax looks really good right now since my edu discount is no more.
