Apple makes nice money off every iOS devices they sell. With App store, iTunes store and iBook store, their Software and hardware sales will grow.
Their MBA sales are growing and those devices aren't cheap.
Apple is going to soon have more than 100 billion dollars in their backyard.
Btw, Apple is going to blow away on next Quarter as long as they can launch iPhone 5 on both AT&T and Verizon. Doubt that they will put LTE chip inside, but it will be available on two of the biggest networks in the US. This will not stop.

This is so weird. I mean I have an iPod touch 4th gen, DS, PSP and I've got all my handheld consoles stored away. But I just can't get into iPod gaming. Your fingers get in the way most of the time and it just doesn't feel like a fully polished experience for 99% of games on the App store.
That's because touchscreen interfaces are still a new thing and it's going to take time and trial-and-error to figure out how to best use it for gaming. We're already seeing little moments of brilliance here and there. Have you tried Super MonkeyBall or Myst on iPad? They're right at home--better than in their original platforms.
But most game companies aren't looking at that yet. Right now, we're dealing with a lot of game companies wanting to impose virtual buttons or joysticks on the screen, which IMO, is a kludge. But then a game like Angry Birds comes along and it's a huge hit because they work with the hardware instead of trying to tie it down to the old way of doing things. Imagine playing Angry Birds on a console. What a painful experience that would be. And yet on a touchscreen, it's a pure joy.
Give it time. This touchscreen gaming thing has just started, and it will continue getting better as game companies figure out how to work with the hardware instead of fighting it.

Hello,
An issue I have wasted way too much time on and hoping for some insight here. I have a bunch of PDF's I am trying to open in illustrator. The vector images come through alright, but all the text is converted to . If I save the PDF again in Preview as a PDF-X the text now appears as random numbers and symbols like: +4)%$*0!$)%#5!!673!%$'()*#!+,$-!
I am now saying "+4)%$*0!$)%#5!!673!%$'()*#!+,$-!:mad:" and any insight would be appreciated.
PS the text will copy and paste with no errors from preview into word or illustrator. It is only when I open the file in illustrator the text is gone.

I'd probably try a simple update instead of a clean install.
And considering that you've got a decent backup of your system (right? :D), it shouldn't be a problem if that goes wrong. You can still do a clean install in that case and migrate your data from your backup.

The Boot Camp drivers provided by Apple aren't that great, especially for the trackpad and the brightness controls. When I'm dragging and dropping files in Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro, I tend to press down with one finger and drag with another finger.
I have my trackpad set up on Windows 7 and OS X to have it so that the bottom left corner is left click and the bottom right is right click. Tap to click is disabled.
So, basically, I cannot have "tap-to-click" and have "press down with one finger and drag with another finger" at the same time.
That sucks.

Do you remember USB 1.1? The USB 1.1 port and plug look like a USB 2.0 port and plug, but a USB 1.1 port/plug will not deliver USB 2.0 speeds when one connects a USB 2.0 device to a USB 1.1 interface.
The same goes for the MDP and TB interface.
While TB might look like MDP, they are not the same.

Hi everyone
I have recently tried to install windows XP on my mac. What i think happened, was that i THOUGHT i was using bootcamp, but in fact it tried to install XP as the main operation system. In any case, i was stuck in the XP setup blue screen, without being able to complete the installation, get back to OS or even get the XP installer disc out. After spamming the Disc removal key, i finally got the disc out, but when i restarted the mac, a flashing folder showed up. I found out this was because the computer could not find a operating system to boot by. I plugged in the installation disc and tried to repair the disc but it could not. I finally gave up and tried to reinstall the whole thing, but it could not find the harddisc.
What i am asuming happened is: I must have said yes, when the XP setup asked me if i wanted to format the disc. This (ofcause) ment i could no longer run OS on the disc. I realise all my school work, notes and files are gone, what i want now is just my computer back with OS. How do i format the disc back so that i can reinstall OS on it? Please help, and yes i know it was very stupid to format the disc in the first place.

Ah, sorry it turned out that way. And yeah, that's indicative of hardware sector failures. Good thing is though that the hard drive is one of the cheapest components to replace that goes bad.
Edit: Good for you keeping a Time Machine Backup :)
The funny thing about that is that I just finally got around to buying an external hard drive for Time Machine backups and the drive arrived this past Thursday. If my iMac started melting down on Thursday the 28th instead of Friday the 29th, this could have been a different situation. :)

Here, in France, there are many people who complain of problem to read video on youtube and it seems that this is due to wifi instability on the IPAD. Is this the case with you ?

How carriers can get away with what amounts to restraint of trade is beyond me.
I totally agree! I had to jumped through hoops to have my out of contract 3GS unlocked in order to use it when I was oversea. So I can use the local SIM and more importantly my OWN phone with all my stuff on it!
And because of that I am now no longer able to upgrade my phone's software anymore from Apple (I had to use iPad baseband...). I tried to upgrade and it bricked my phone. Went to Apple and they want $200 for a 3GS replacement. And he even added "Well, I don't want to get you banned from having an iPhone ever again!" It is all BS!!! I refused and spent 24 hours online and finally unbricked it myself.
All I want is to use my OWN phone and I am sick of feeling like I am a thief or something.

This is awesome, however Apple will catch this little trick.

The i7 won't be better at running that game. As a result, either get a 15" MBP if you want to do serious gaming or just go with the i5.

Giving my '08 Mac Pro a new lease of life with a SSD. 3'5 (so I won't have to worry about sleds etc.) I'm going for a clean install, but is there any special considerations regarding formatting I should be aware of?
This is the drive;
OCZ Vertex 2E Bigfoot 120GB 3.5" SATA-II
Should I install in windows first to update firmware?
EDII read this post which has got me thinking it going to be difficult
http://joshuablount.com/posts/2011/clean-installing-snow-leopard-on-your-ssd-considered-harmful/
I installed directly from the disc onto an OCZ Vertex 2 3.5" 120GB. However, I did not use the retail Snow Leopard disc, I used the 2010 Mac Pro disc that came with the computer. It might have newer drivers than the retail disc. Heck, newer retail discs might have newer drivers than older retail discs.
I don't update the firmware. I don't like to mess with things that work to my satisfaction.
However, as I recall to update OCZ firmware, you need to have Windows to do firmware updates and you cannot update an SSD that you booted from, so there are certainly some challenges to overcome.

I run a business. I send Excel files to customers. I **need** the files to be perfect, no voodoo at all, no weirdness with fonts or file conversion or print area....
Yep - if it works for everyone, it will be a success. iWork is shaping up to be a real challenge to the general publics idea of interoperability.

Anyone there today?
It is snowing heavily in downtown SLC now :(
lol those commenters were not happy with you.
According to Notorious BIG,
"Number four: know you heard this before
Never get high, on your own supply
Number five: never sell no crack (substitute iPad here) where you rest at
I don't care if they want a ounce, tell em bounce"
Glad that the ultracapitalists in Utah are getting punished! woot.

I'm down with the Analyst prefix, and we could have an Analyst directory page
EDIT: on second thought, the "Firstname Lastname (Analyst)" might work better for linking from the front page... flows better.

Ha, that's sweet! It would be cool if you could have the Snow Leopard background layered on top of it, but have it be opaque so you could still see the "guts".
That might be worth trying. We'll see what a little photoshop can do and if it turns out good I'll post later.
