It's only 6:30 am here on the west coast, so give it a couple of hours and we shall see. If not, then perhaps tomorrow.

I hope this is true!!!
How is Sony's track record with sensors though?
Let's go Fall! (Not even WWDC ;))
They make all of Nikons sensors, even the high end D3S and D3X dSLRs ones. They also made (or make?) Canon point and shoot sensors; at least as of a few years ago. Sony was one of the first with backlit CMOS as well.
Oh, and I think Pentax, if you want to consider them a camera compay, uses Sony sensors.

All this proves is that Beatles fans like to waste their money repurchasing music they already own just because it's available in a new format. I bet that most of the albums and individual songs sold were purchased by people who already own that album/song.
Or perhaps a new generation of fans bought the music.

Here is a copy of an e-mail I sent to the FTC and DOJ yesterday (by way of copy from an e-mail to David Porter, the offending Wal-Mart executive). I urge everyone to do something similar:
Send to dporter@walmart.com, antitrust@ftc.com, and antitrust.complaints@usdoj.gov
Dear Mr. Porter:
By this letter and by copy to the Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice I hereby notify you that your reported behavior constitutes numerous violations of the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Federal Trade Commission Act. As reported in a wide variety of sources, you have been meeting with the heads of large movie studios and threatening to purchase fewer or return product from those studios that agree to distribute movies over Apple iTunes service (see, e.g., http://www.macnn.com/articles/06/09/22/wal.mart.threatens.studios/). This is an egregious restraint of trade that severely effects interstate commerce. News reports indicate that you have already "punished" Disney by returning thousands of DVDs and refusing to sell them. Because Wal-Mart sells 40% of the physical DVDs in the United States, you are in a privileged position and are abusing your market power. You are seeking to obtain concessions to sell content at Apple's prices (which does not include the manufacture, shipment, and sale of a physical item). Apple has innovated - something WalMart is incapable of -- and WalMart now wants to take advantage of Apple's innovation.
I urge the FTC and the DOJ to open criminal investigations into your behavior. In addition, your conduct violates your own "Corporate Code of Ethics," making a mockery of your supposed corporate values.
You should be ashamed of your luddite and monopolistic behavior.
Bravo, sir! I wrote a similar complaint to the Department of Justice. If everyone here wrote one, we might actually see some effect; big corporations and institutions seem to believe that for every single person who sends out a letter there are at least 20 other people with the same opinion. (A good example: the Janet Jackson 'wardrobe malfunction' backlash. Who really cared about that other than the people who wrote the FCC? Practically no one...)

Interesting.... and what is your prediction for International (Int) since we won't get the iPad before the end of April ? I also believed that once, but with different date for the iPad release (US vs Int) and knowing that about 50% of the sales are Int, I'm not sure about that anymore. End of April will be a shame for Apple... Friends around me already have there i7 laptop... but of course, they had to pay the ultimate price... being on Windows :eek:
May, at the earliest; June ?

Nice, but not essential. I usually have the patience to wait until I'm home to install an update. Unless it's an iOS update..
More important to me is over-the-air syncing. That would be a killer!
I just assumed that the two would come hand in hand though I now see why that's not necessarily the case. I agree, OTA syncing is even better but there just isnt any reason to not be able to do both.

Very likely home platinum, possibly professional if they are buying a expensive high end machine.
MS has spread their lineup to thin, $500 for the ultimate every 5-10 years, I would rather got the apple route, $130 for the entire thing every few years and at least I feel continues advances than one big bang.
You mean Home Premium? :confused:

Not to me. I need documents side by side, and browsers open next to documents to take notes from webcasts. My 13" mba did that just fine although it was more cramped than my HR mbp. the 10" netbook fad never caught on with me for this reason.
13" Mba and 11.6" New MBA have very similar resolutions, there would be very little difference on whats on screen.

My two cents:
Glasses-free 3D in its current iteration seems hardly more than a gimmick. Viewing angles are bad, viewing distance is wacky, and it causes headaches after prolonged use. Not to mention the tech required increases the thickness of the panels.
For Apple to implement this type of technology, it would probably need to develop an in-house solution (or at least something after close corroboration with another company). Since few - if any - rumors to that effect have surfaced, it seems reasonable to believe that any such venture is at the very least not particularly close to fruition.
And even assuming they had the propriety tech, I agree with many others on this forum who believe the implementation would increase the price fairly dramatically. My guess is that Apple will strive to maintain their competition-bustingly low prices.

it does not even make sense to put a phone there, since when can phones do RSS? Its just really fishy tt it is placed alongside the ipod and itunes.
Many phones are capable, they can use 3rd party apps etc, but new phones such as the Sony Ericsson K800 has a built in RSS reader!
As for the phone in the picture, it looks like a Sony ERicsosn K608 or someting along those lines....not a very good phone, so lets hope Apple doesnt use that as a bas to model the iPhone on...lol
Cheers

when are people going to learn that a high quality sensor at 5mp is better than an average one at 8mp...
higher numbers are stupid if the sensor isnt up to it..
the iphone doesnt have a massive sensor, so please apple give me a really high quality one instead of just bumping up the numbers to make it look good on a spec sheet.

Wait, Sony? Not known for providing sensors to other companies? Are you guys joking?
Nikon, Pentax, Olympus, Sigma, Casio and a whole lot more uses Sony sensors..
Those are CCD sensors not CMOS image sensors.

Regardless of your musical tastes, why anyone who proclaims to care about Apple's success would begrudge them expanding their catalogue to include one of the most influential bands of the 20th century... well, it's a complete mystery to me.
That's not quite it. People were annoyed at the fact that the event was so hyped, not that it was somehow a "bad" thing.

Has anybody found Xcode 2.4 yet? It's not up on ADC as far as I can see.
I haven't heard anything about Xcode 2.4 anywhere apart from here. are you sure about it? i really don't think it has been released. been checking as much as i can everywhere, and i've seen nothing. might be getting it mixed up with Xcode 3.0 that's going to be in Leopard? maybe?

Cardinals in my backyard are rain soaked.

A little fill flash to get a catchlight in the eye and this would be perfect.

but the compromised code is most likely not Apple's at least.
I concur. They simply chose a Mac to be a cock. How's that for smugness?
So what happens when the owner of the MacBook closes the computer?
Exploit defeated. :)

Thanks Mitthrawnuruodo and Chundles. I know it's not news, but I wanted to know.I'm really sorry if I sounded a bit harsh... I didn't really mean to... :o
It's just that this has been explained over and again so I roll my eyes more as a reflex... ;)
