Very cool! :D Maybe add something to the intel chip...it looks somewhat "naked"...:p
Thanks :) I cloned out "Xeon processor" from the intel chip because I wanted it to be generic.

Exactly, Apple wouldn't care if you did. What you sold would be 2nd hand and have no warranty etc.. The same I assume would be true of T.J.s. As non authorized dealers they have bought some iPads and would be selling them as second hand items. Buyer beware.
Why is everyone under the impression that Apple is Sony, Dell, etc?
Apple Warranty is valid for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc buyer of the same product because Apple doesn't do that ridiculous crap of killing off a warranty based on resale. It is based on the dated receipt. If you have a receipt, and it is within the 1 year warranty, it's covered.
I have bought and resold my main computers over and over again. I sell when I reach that last month mark. The buyers are always covered for that last month, and if they so choose, they can buy the 2 year extended before that final month is over.

Note that this is most likely from where the representative from Florida got her information and was paraphrasing, albeit with poor word choice....
I guess the Times was stuck between blaming the victim and having another Jena 6 story on their hands.
A poor word choice is not to go from this: They said she dressed older than her age, wearing makeup and fashions more appropriate to a woman in her 20s. She would hang out with teenage boys at a playground, some said...
to this:
...There was an article about an 11 year old girl who was gangraped in Texas by 18 young men because she was dressed like a 21-year-old prostitute....And her parents let her attend school like that. And I think it�s incumbent upon us to create some areas where students can be safe in school and show up in proper attire so what happened in Texas doesn�t happen to our students.
The Times described a situation; Rep. Passidomo used that horrible situation to justify her stance on school uniforms by making the pernicious inference that wardrobe choices could lead to rape.
Similar thinking in Afghanistan and Iran leads women to wear burkhas, lest men become so incensed at the shape of an ankle or nape that they cannot help themselves. These cultures hold women, and not the rat bastards who commit the act, responsible. And Passidomo is using the exact same logic.

Dang, Federighi has large shoes to fill. His Lion demo was so-so. Serlet has been on the Mac OS X team since day one if I remember right, and has always seemed to understand where it needed to go next.
I wonder if the departure has anything to do with Mac OS X transitioning away from a traditional desktop OS towards a more touch-centric, "no-fuss" one. Would be interested in Serlet's opinion on this.
+1
It seems like Serlet is more of an independent worker who *thinks different* where as Craig is a hardworker but would just "follow." Not making a cheap shot, they're both really good at what they do, just an (maybe wrong) assumption of mine.
In any case, sad to see Serlet go.

Yes it can be done. When you start the poll, check the checkbox that says
Allow multiple choice: Give users the ability to select more than one answer
Users will be able to vote for any number of your poll choices so make sure that your poll explains how many to vote for.

Serlet, is a pure (if you will) technical computer engineer... He get enjoyment about scientific computation, advanced algorithms, multi-threaded efficiency. The guy was nicknamed the "mad scientist" by Jobs himself, not because of his appearance, but because of he advanced studies in engineering and scientific computation.
He's like the man in the tech French community.
I can understand why he may want to leave, he's been gradually selling off his stock of Apple in recent years as well, so this makes sense.
Apple is more iOS then OS X and since Forstall heads the iOS development, there was no viable way Bertrand could have stayed on when Apple decided to merge the OS's.
I say it's a big loss for Apple. Though Craig should be a pleasant transition, and maybe a more frequent keynote speaker, since he's more understandable to the public.
Serlet will be missed. He's pretty much one of the Core brains behind OS X
I completed agree - except the part about being understandable. The ENTIRE audience got many of his jokes with Vista at the Leopard announcement and even with Snow Leopard. Just cause your ears cannot focus out the intricacies of a slight french accent doesn't mean the generic public cannot.

News is geektool, weather and calendar are from Amnesty and the wallpaper . . .honestly I cannot remember where the hell I got it!
Question. How did you get your weather widget background to be transparent, but not the text (the symbols and temps)? When I adjust the transparency in Amnesty, the whole widget (not just the blue background) goes more transparent....

thanks for continuing to screw us 3gS owners over Apple...
My phone is on its last leg, dropping calls all of the time, have to charge it 3 times a day. If I had known this, I would have already bought a 4...
Blaming Apple is pointless. If your phone isn't working to your satisfaction, get it repaired or purchase a new phone. 3gS is still working very well as a product, my roommate has one and has no complaints about its functionality, nor do a lot of 3gs users. Anticipating on technology companies to be consistent is a wasted guessing game.
I hardly think that Apple is specifically targeting 3gS users to bend over and get screwed. There is more going on globally this year which tends to affect how companies anticipate product releases.

In my opinion, it all comes down to this: we need to drastically overhaul taxation on the national and state level to make it very easy to comply with and also have minimum burden on residents and businesses.
This is why I am a fan of the Steve Forbes flat income tax plan, which works this way:
1) A generous income exemption per household for the personal income tax, up to US$42,000 for a family of four.
2) 17% flat-rate income tax with NO other deductions for income above that exemption I described.
3) Corporate income tax rate is now fixed at 17% also with very few other deductions available, perhaps only a simple depreciation schedule for plant and equipment.
4) No more taxation on bank account interest, capital gains and stock dividend payments.
By eliminating most of those undecipherable mountain of exemptions, credits and deductions, income tax compliance costs drop drastically. Indeed, for the personal income tax the tax form will be simpler than the 1040-EZ form, possibly reduced to not much more than a postcard! :D Even corporate income tax filings will require far less paperwork because corporations no longer need to deal with that mountain of rules from now on.
#4 I mentioned above is very important, since it will allow Americans to keep their savings and investments in the USA essentially tax-free. This has another advantage: American residents can now create their own retirement "nest eggs" and/or put money away to pay for future medical bills with no income tax implications, which would end up reducing the need for Social Security and Medicare.
In short, it is WAY past due for a massive overhaul of our income tax system. Put the Forbes tax plan into place as early as the 2011 tax year and all those TRILLIONS in American-owned liquid assets either participating in the cash-only underground economy or sitting in various financial institutions beyond US borders (care to explain all those "banks" in various Caribbean island nations?) as a means of income tax avoidance return to the USA to make full banks, businesses and even government again and also gives all the financial incentive for American businesses to keep as many jobs, factories and even corporate headquarters in the USA, which would go a long way in lowering the unemployment rate.
