I'll second that, no intel 3000 will be entering my house
And I doubt that there will be a backlit keyboard again. As I said in the last thread apple took it out for a reason not for fun
And that reason was? Thinness? Cost? Do you have any evidence to back this up?
I think it was simple economics - take out the BL keyboard to get the cost under $999 and keep the margins at 30%.
However, as tech gets more mature, and the R&D Cost is recouped for the new design, I think they can re-add the BL Keyboard w/o sacrificing the $999 Price-point or the 30% margins.
As you said, it wasn't just "for fun", but "for profit" and if they can maintain that profit, and return a marquee feature like the BL Keyboard, why not?

Not really sure of the point of push as emails come through about facebook activity anyway.....
Contacts sync is an awesome idea though! Just did it and it downloads the photos and puts a link to the facebook page in each contact....
It doesn't mess up your contacts at all!

sweet :D welcome to the team in that case,
sidenote, hmmm mines been fetching a new WU for the last half hour, my iStat is showing no net usage or downloads :S any ideas whats going on?
hmm the log is showing no more work left :S i've just restarted F@H and selected the ' larger then 5Mb option ' but still nothing :S anyone else getting this?
Restarting should fix it but it may cough a few times or you can get rid of the queue.dat file to get it going again. if you are using the terminal start it with "./fah6 -config" and when you get to the part where it asks if you want to change advanced setting say yes and use defaults for everything, except say yes to scientific wu's, and it should give you something to work on. Scientific wu's are alpha and beta stage wu's which could have problems but usually finish ok for me.

I thought everything that was stamped "Made in USA" or "Made in America" was fully so until I had to set out for my master's thesis on a famous American made product that I adore (Fender Musical Instrument Corporation).
As far as fully made in America, I can understand my expensive pro skateboarder Daewon Song Signature jeans from Matix Clothing Company being American made and the price tag certainly shows that. They are great but regular Matix jeans made overseas are just as good. Outside of my prized jeans, and some cool Sears Craftsman tools from the old days, everything I have is completely or partially made in another country.
When I was researching my guitar collection and my favorite brand, Fender, I went to Fender Musical Instruments as my first possible topic. I love my American Standard Stratocaster and Fender Standard Stratocaster with optional Floyd Rose tremolo. Made in USA is in small print on the guitar so I felt like they were like my vintage Fenders and Gibson guitars which I grew up with which were made in the USA.
It turns out many of the bodies of the guitar body blanks (before finishing), regardless of price point are made at a state of the art factory in Mexico. And on the Fender Standard series (at that time), both body and neck and most electronics are made in Mexico. Oddly, some of the Mexican made electrics from Fender have American made electronics. And while Floyd Rose is an American guitar parts inventor of the highest reputation (then bought by Fender at the time), it turns out the Original Floyd Rose tremolo was made in Germany, or at least the ones I played and some subcontracted by Schaller in Germany among others in the long history of Floyd Rose tremolos.
Later electric guitar models, regardless of maker or sticker or stamp, which are active electronics and may incorporate a small motherboard/daughterboard, have some of the electronic parts made in Taiwan. And that's just guitars and guitar components.
Now imagine how much more complex an "American" car is. Is is assembled here? Probably in most cases and not surprisingly some "foreign" cars are assembled here. But then where are the electronics of said American car from? Where was the paint made? Where were the plastics acquired from? Where is the glass from? Who made the tires, and if so, is it standard on all the car lines? Heck, are all the workers US citizens and/or legally allowed to work in the USA who are at the Ford plant? etc..
So when it comes to "Made in America", unless it's fairly straightforward like my more expensive Matix jeans or my buddy's American made, more expensive New Balance shoes, both which have a limited amount of parts/suppliers, there is no Made in America/USA products that are 100% percent so. It really pains me when somebody around me, in Silicon Valley, still thinks everything Apple is "Made in Cupertino".
That being said, I love any Fender guitar I have come across whether owning it, testing it out, or borrowing it for a gig, every Apple product I have ever owned, and the Matix jeans, my sole American product are not bad either.
I don't really care where a product is made if it is good. I just do my part for my region and buy locally, even if it costs even 10%-20% percent more.

Yes, there is.
You got a problem wit' that? :rolleyes:
Why does everyone get so sensitive whenever someone points out a difference in race, culture, etc? It's not like someone said "That <insert racial slur here> can't even say iLife right! What a retard!" Everyone wants to be different and unique, but no one can handle their differences pointed out in a humorous way.
Yes, it is funny when a Japanese person tries to make the "L" sound and it comes out sounding like an "R", just as it would be equally funny for me to completely bork the Japanese language while attempting to speak it.
Like freeny said, lighten up. We're laughing with you, unless you can't laugh at yourself, then you're just getting laughed at.
Gee, you weren't laughing while you wrote this, were you? So pushy and heavy-handed while preaching us to "Lighten up," it is so... American :p

Just get it over with and allow variable screen sizes.
Apple's had resolution independence implemented in one form or another since Tiger, but it was only available for developers. I wouldn't hold my breath that they suddenly decide, 4 years later, that it should be released.

"Mummy, why is that man watching those naked people doing things to each other." :p
It will happen.
That's true, it will, and so I wonder what will be done about it when it does happen. Can airline staff confiscate your iPod till the end of the flight, will an air marshall urge you to choose something more appropriate ?
Well, the only airline I remember which had seat-back displays for all passengers was WestJet.
Sweet, I just booked a flight with them for an upcoming trip to Canada, it's good to know they were a good choice.
Most airlines that fly trans-atlantic and pacific have individual displays for everybody. In coach, most of them play the same movies and series over and over, but in business/first, most of the time you can choose what to watch, and even pause/stop the movies.
AVOD (Audio Video On Demand) is becoming increasingly popular on international airlines, however normally only in first and business as you point out.
Hopefully iPod integration will be incorporated throughout all the classes in the airlines which employ it, that way everyone will have their own AVOD for stuff they own. I see no reason to lock out more than half the passengers, when it could drive sales, touting it as a feature on that airline as oppose to another airline - without paying a premium for a higher class.
I wonder if British Airways and Qantas wil offer this. After all it's one up on Zune.
And most importantly for me, Cathay Pacific, who are partners with both of them... and I much prefer Cathay to Qantas.
Anyway, I fly a mixture of KLM / Northwest Airlines, Continental or British Airways, it would be pretty cool, though most of the time I use my ipod whilst sat in the lounge then when on board I watch their movies, they offer like 6 of them and some good comedy channels.
Generally airlines offer movies showing in the cinema at the time, your getting a movie ticket, or a few, included as a bonus with your travel, sometimes that will beat out movies stored on your Ipod that you can see at any time.
I know it would for me.

They don't and it doesn't. It says you apply the 1.6 crop to EF-s lenses, just like with EF.
from your same source, the VERY NEXT paragraph:
The EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM is a great example of a well designed EF-S series lens. It provides a field of view similar to what Canon�s popular EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L II USM and EF 17-40mm f/4.0 L USM do on a full frame camera like the 5D Mark II.

We can feast our eyes on the Sony NGP whilst Apple have nothing new to show in terms of hardware! :D
What would you like to see?
The iTracy watch that does everything and MR posters will complain that it's not 10 inches big, doesn't come in white, with matte screen option, for FREE etc.etc..
Mini
ipods and
MacPro
are ready to be updated.
The rest was just done.
iphone 5 will get a significant overhaul in ios, not product shape or form I think. Maybe replace the back glass panel and their everlasting quest for weight loss.
Some other areas are not of interest to Apple.
Developmental cycles many times have gaps.
One company is launching something in April, the other in October.
When October stuff comes out it will fall behind in development once April from another manufacturer launches, then they take turns trying to outdo each other.
As long as they all work on their stuff , it's all good for the consumers.

Come to think of it, I read that one of the major irks the Japanese have with the iPhone is the fact that they can't make payments with it. Apparently they all use their cellphones over there to conduct payments, though I don't really know how the technology works.
Maybe Apple is looking to enhance the desirability of the iPhone in more gadget-advanced countries like Japan and South-Korea.
Just a thought *-)

I loved every minute of it. I've been under it twice for various surgeries. I always treated it like a game, seeing how long I can stay awake. Before you know it, someone is shaking you and telling you their all done. It's pretty incredible if you ask me, your out just like that. If only I could go to sleep that well every night.

Does anybody know if the push is applied to chat messages when the messages toggle is on? Does it only apply to the messages that arrive in your inbox? Also, could someone explain what Facebook gathers from your phone during sync? I would rather not give any information that compromises anything my friends would like to keep out of the hands of Facebook.

As a long term Garmin user I cringed when they tried doing the phone thing with Asus, this doesnt fill me with any confidence either.
As mentioned above, signal where I am in the UK is just too patchy to rely on, or indeed fast enough (even when signal is good).
When iPhones only had 4/8gb storage then it kind of makes sense but as later models are all 16gb+ whats the big deal?
I like to holiday in the US, often driving long distances. OTA maps would cost me a fortune in roaming fees, if indeed I got signal out in the sticks.
For me buying copilot outright (�25/$40) for the UK and (�10/$15) USA (Thanks Black friday sales!) made a lot more sense and a fixed budget. I get quarterly updates too so I'm never that out of date!
Before NDrive were given the boot I recall I got their USA/Canada maps for about $5 all in. Unless you really need all the available space for music/games/etc why would you want to risk it all on the chance of a good signal?
