I really don't get all of those who constantly are saying things like "Don't care for them, they were before my time . . . " or "They're so old, they're not relevant . . .", etc. Really? I just don't get it. Monet, Davinci, Bach, Cole Porter, Sonny Boy Williamson, Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday and Charlie Parker were all before my time, yet I appreciate them. Having an artist being born before your time shouldn't have anything to do with "appreciating" them. That's the whole point - art is timeless. I' guess it has to do with how you grew up and what you were exposed to that makes a difference.
All kinds of music was being played in my house when I grew up. My dad played primarily four kinds of music in our house: classical, tango, opera and jazz and I got exposed to all of them - everyday. But all kinds of music would be played, not just these four kinds. While the Beatles were not one of the groups constantly being played on my dad's Hi-Fi, my parents did appreciate them and would play them on the radio once in a while, just to expose us kids to them. This, I believe, is one reason I listen to ALL kinds of music today. Not only do I listen to the classics, but also to many current and obscure artists of today. And I am doing the same with my son. He is exposed to all facets of music and art and has a great appreciation of all kinds of music. And you know who's his favorite? Louis Prima. My son's 6 years old and he couldn't care one bit when Louis was born. Not one bit. My dad would be proud.

I'd be fine with waiting till fall to upgrade my 3GS if it meant LTE. Yes, I know the tech is nascent but the timing would seriously suck for entering a 2 year contract on a phone without it. That's the main problem. I don't want to have to wait till 2013 or upgrade after just one year (and there's no guarantee either carrier would allow it).

Well Apple certainly got more sensational coverage over their recall. Hence the Apple haters in my life barraging me with BS. :rolleyes:
I have gotten a little bit of this as well today.
I just remind those individuals that Apple does not make batteries. Then I tell them where Apple gets their batteries from (i.e. Sony) then people usually are quiet after that. :)

The New York Post (http://www.nypost.com/business/retail_iation_business_tim_arango.htm) reports that Wal-Mart is warning Hollywood studios against partnering with Apple's iTunes Store for movie distribution.
According to studio executives, "Wal-Mart has overtly threatened to retaliate if [studios] go into business with Apple."
### Just one more reason to add the extremely LONG list of reasons to continue *my* boycott of Walmart. They are evil.

The security-through-obscurity myth of OS X has long been debunked. Do you know what the most used computer OS in the world is? Linux. And there are very, very few viruses for linux.
The rampant virus ecosystem is a flaw in Windows, not an inherent fact of all operating systems.
Macs have a decent market share and a very large mindshare, but yet are still virus free (though there have been a couple trojans that fizzled out).
Thank you. I do get tired of the old lie that Macs are only secure because they've not been targeted yet.
The better analogy is Windows is a house made of flimsy material. They keep putting new locks on the doors, but crooks keep finding ways to push through the flimsy walls. Meanwhile Macs are in a nice neighborhood that's not as populated all right, but they have a great security system. Whenever anyone tries to invade, the owner is immediately notified. Dopey owners occasionally give permission to the invaders who pretend to be their Uncle Bob, but most owners get suspicious of invaders no matter who they claim to be.
No matter how popular Macs will get, they will NEVER have the security issue that Windows has. It's all a matter of the underlying architecture.

That Apple devices, especially iPad will go 3D in the future is inevitable, however, I think expecting it as soon as next year appears unrealistic... But you never know with Apple.

Are you streaming that over your network?.....cool...I'll have to try it out when I get out of class...:) Wait a minute...
What do you mean by streaming over my network...? Are you speaking about shared libraries...? If so then: no, I'm not streaming... :o
I've had my AirPort Express hooked up to my stereo for so long that "streaming", for me means playing over remote speakers using AirTunes...
If I was wrong, and got your hopes up needlessly (I've not tried shared libraries, yet), I'm sincerely sorry... :o :o :o
Edit: I just tried accessing my girlfriend's library over our network, and you're quite right, the cover art browsing view does not work (actually no cover art is showing). Again sorry... :o

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.

Exactly! And not only video video tag support but the whole HTML5. Much faster and cleaner and ready to replace this flash crap. Good thing Apple is so large that they can actually transform whole markets.
I'd argue that it's not "ready." HTML5 is a working draft, and video tag codec support is still one of those items that is not entirely settled. I'm all for getting every browser to implement it and maybe even start using it after a specific browser/codec check, but fallback is still going to be flash for the time being.

419.9MB for me with 16GB 3Gs.
Different builds depending on device? Someone with multiple devices might be able to confirm that (if they have to download different builds, or possibly, if your iTunes manages multiple devices, that accounts for bigger downloads that accommodate multiple devices instead of just one).
Each device has it's own file. It's independent of memory size, so a 16GB iP4 would have the same file as a 32GB iP4 assuming both are GSM.
iPad 1 is one file and iPad2 has 3 files one for wifi, one for GSM, and one for CDMA.

The name "iPhone 4G" adds a letter, it doesn't remove one. It allows a 4G phone to be marketed as such, just as they did with the 3G.
I don't care what they call it, just build one that can make calls without blaming the carrier for Apples sloppy work.
Funny how not long ago there was a poll and most who responded voted to keep the tiny 3.5" display. Now that the fanboys god has considered a 4.0" suddenly the push-back went away. So hypocritical, fanboys wait for their god to tell them what's good for them.

Well, speak for yourself, because I beg to disagree by a LONG shot. Brazil has one of the cleanest and most modern democracies in this world, with flawless election systems and an absolutely open press and media, even IF people prefer to choose the "wrong" candidates.
Despite all problems that may exist in certain areas, no Brazilian needs to accept this sort of inferiority complex anymore, especially considering the more than visible evolution of the country when compared to the 80s and 90s. We are no longer the "nation of the future"; so it's more than high time that Brazilians should understand that as much as any foreigner does.
I think we live in different countries, because what you see here is:
through taxes, we pay the State for education. But if we want good education, we must buy back the private sector. We pay twice for the same service.
through taxes, we pay the state for health. But if we want good health, we need to buy again from private enterprise. We pay twice for the same service.
through taxes, we pay the state for safekeeping. But if you want good security, we must buy back the private sector. We pay twice for the same service.
through property taxes, we pay the State for good roads. But if you want good road, we need to pay tolls. We pay twice for the same service.
social security is a joke. Even if we pay the maximum amount for retirement, when we receive, we receive less than a third of the amount paid to social security.
no tools for punishing politicians who carry out crimes against the public budget. The politicians protect themselves. There is no transparency in public accounts.
The weight tributary to the Brazilian state suffocates the taxpayers more and more.
we have the highest interest rates in the world. And there is no control over the banking spread.
There is no project for the country. Whether or not the government is PT or PSDB, little changes.

Yes, that is a very nerdy/geeky thing to do. "Zune"-ing music wirelessly is only something geeks can come up with, whereas Steve's suggestion of sharing earbuds is so much cooler and, dare I say it, sexually suggestive! ;)
Yes.. especially when the person you want to share the tune with isn't a girl.. but a fat, sweaty, hairy guy who's just getting over an ear infection.
Yea. I'd let that dude ram one of my earbuds in his head and sit all close in the cafeteria while we listen to music.
Plenty of people i'd let listen to music I had.. not alot of people i'd share my earbuds with, or wanna sit all close with.
Recently, a guy I had just met asked to use my cell phone.. so I let him.
He must have talked on the phone for less than a minute, but when he handed it back, the damn thing was DRIPPING with sweat.
Yuck.
A real nice guy, very friendly, and a pleasure to sit and talk with.. and would probably give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.. but if the way he handed my cell phone back is any indication, you'd have to wring the shirt out first.
Did I mention YUCK?
Yall can cuddle up close to him and share earbuds if you want.

Like Flash or hate Flash, the fact remains that Flash enabled web site have a major prevalence on the web. I hate the fact that I should have the most technologically available device, but don't just because Apple won't allow Flash - which they could easily allow.
Politics and a pissing contest between Apple and Adobe and I have to suffer. Jobs is just trying to push for his own web app. But there is a jailbreak Flash app. Jobs may not put customers' desires at the top of his list, but DevTeam does.

How will the internet start "locking down"?
This was an asinine comment by the OP that you replied to.
Joe Hewitt said that the App Store is setting a precedent that the Store for a particular handheld device needs to have a review process. Other companies are following suit. IF this process becomes more and more common then the platforms suffer due to the lack of innovative fun new pieces of software.
The Internet isn't locked down because anyone can purchase a server or rent one toss it on the internet and run custom software. You can distribute your information, you can sell your products, you can link friends together without another company telling you yes or no (like the App Store). It's open.
That's what Joe Hewitt likes about the internet. The openness. The close mindedness of the App Store is what turned him off to the development process.
And losing him is huge. He's one of the biggest developers for the platform. More people use Facebook I think than just about any third party application.
