I had just dropped my wife off for work and was going to meet a photographer at a coffee shop to discuss an upcoming shoot. I had just heard about the plane hitting the first tower before I met with the photographer. He had just heard the same thing. We both thought it was a small aircraft like a Cessna and joked about it a bit - thinking it was a dumb pilot. We then saw the events unfold on the TV in the coffee shop. I immediately called my wife and told her I was coming to pick her up - she said they were closing the office anyway. We went home and called our family and friends in NYC to make sure they were OK. We were glued to the TV all day watching the tragic events.

Apple will release newly designed ACD's along with the newly designed Mac Pro, and since they just released a Mac Pro, I wouldn't think it would be released for maybe another 7 months to a year.
Don't hold your breath. The current ACD's are amazing.

(1) Not even close to every machine ships with a productivity suite... in fact, if you look closely at what you're paying for when you buy most PC machines, those products that "ship standard" with your fancy new PC are built into the price. Most customizable online shops (Dell, et al.) allow you to remove that software and lower the price. So obviously, they are not free.
(2) iWork is undoubtably being groomed as a direct competitor to Office. There's no disputing that. It CURRENTLY is a replacement for AppleWorks, because it's still young and undeveloped in places, but it would be insane for Apple not to try and pursue part of the Office marketshare. It's an untapped resource, and frankly the Office programs are not very well constructed (with the exception of Excel). Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint are pretty lousy, and while Access is solid, it's certainly not leaps and bounds better than (PageMaker) <-- EDIT: Sorry, meant FileMaker.
(3) Bundling software, and then looking for profit on the backend with upgrades is a reasonable answer to the question. There's something to be said for that. But in the end, I think you're comparing Apples and Oranges. While at current, iWork is undeveloped, it is (as I said) being groomed to be a full suite of productivity Apps. iLife is a wonderful package of Apps, but they do not replace Pro Apps. iPhoto is garbage compared to Aperture or Photoshop. Pages is certainly not garbage compared to Word, and Keynote is already a much better App than PowerPoint. So I think there's a flaw in the argument here...
This impresses me as distinctions without much a difference. The iLife suite now consists of several well-developed applications all of which are bundled. They didn't necessarily start out mature but they grew into maturity. (iPhoto was never conceived as a replacement for Photoshop btw.) Apple got Mac users accustomed to using them and can now successfully charge for upgrades. They could do the same with iWork.

if apple won't fix my semi broken iphone, I'll be putting it up for like $300. Everything on the phone works fine, except I dropped it, and the volume button is somewhat stuck(you can unstick it, but it goes back...it doesn't have its "click" so it stays down) and the volume is almost always constantly being turned up, and the silence switch is really hard to push back and fourth.

It has a hardware scaler, they released it to developers in January as a new SDK. They said DVD upscaling in a firmware update, but guessing when thats going to be has proved to be about as elusive as predicting the new powerbook G5 ;) Next Thursday im sure :p
Thursday - surely you mean Tuesday ;) :D

Just an update......... it worked for me in my hotel room !
Unfortunately two issues
It takes anywhere from 1 to 10 tries to make it connect
And
My hotel wireless is too slow to keep a channel without skipping (but that is not the iPads fault)
So thanks for the help by the way !
If the hotel wifi is slow that's probably why it took a few trys to connect. I tried it at a Starbucks and McDonalds WiFi and it worked very well. The channels were clear and didn't skip/freeze.

I figured out a few things:
The older APC 1500 is using a stepped sine wave approximation, basically a square wave. Some say despite this frying sound coming from the PSU, the stepped "sine wave" is actually more efficient when transforming AC to the different DC voltages.:rolleyes: It's still not a sound I like coming from any device, especially my file and backup server. Since I have CCTV connected to the server, I want it to be on as long as possible, not just so I can have the time to shut it down properly...
Apparently, NEVER connect a modern plasma or lcd TV or any solid state power supply to a square wave approx. output.
No one has had this issue?

I was there printing a paper this summer and they had this new stupid payment system for laser prints, it takes money out of a debit-style account (not bank related) everyone has. The Macs (15 iMacs in a room of 50 Dells) were not set up with the system, but I was told they would in the fall. I had to go run and get some paper to use with the printers the Macs were networked to.
Well, it's now fall. I came to the lab and found all the iMacs replaced with new Dells. :eek: There were a couple iMacs still there, but they were unhooked and turned with their screens facing the wall, crowded behind the Dells sitting in their places.
I bet the univeristy found they couldn't integrate the iMacs into their printing scheme easily and since bringing your own paper is much cheaper per sheet than paying 8 cents a page felt they had to remove the Macs.
So now I'm pissed. I used to work on papers at home and save them on my iDisk and access them for further editing and printing at school. But I can't access my iDisk from the PC's (they have network drive mapping locked up). Plus I'm just angry in general about them getting rid of all the Macs.
I was going to get a Powerbook when Tiger was released, but now I'm thinking of getting an old G3 iBook until then so I can still use a Mac on campus (Wi Fi all over the Union and libraries).

Yeah, definetely... it started to really suck for a while, not connecting to more than 2 to 5 servers... but since version 0.7 it's really started to kick off again.. too bad it's shareware now...
Acquisition is available here (http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=15375&db=mac).
Oh, welcome to the Mac world! :D

Yeah I don't think so. Unless you scale it to an exact multiple, it's going to look like crap.
Do me a favor. If you don't already have it turned on, turn on Dock magnification and move your mouse pointer slowly across the icons. See how they scale smoothly, and yet don't look like crap? Those icons are 256x256 bitmaps. Its all about doing things properly.

Sounds like the iPhone might actually be real! :eek: :D
...But the motive behind those kind words is still uncertain. Does Robert Dotson know about the iPhone, trying to convince Apple to make it a T-mobile exclusive, or have they already signed the contract, and these kind words towards Apple were more of a "thanks?"

You are aware that Androids are also sold locked, right (except nexus)? Yes, some are available unlocked and there are locks of unlocks available....wait, that just like iPhones.
carry on...
No matter how you see it, its easier to live on the Android environment that the iOS environment for unlocking.
Apple just made it nearly impossible.

Hope this fixes the authentication issues I'm having with my work server....only a few of us actually using iPhones or iPads and most mornings it asks for the password but hitting cancel normally just gets rid of the box...annoying.

I do! I need entourage, xcel and Word, PERIOD. It's not so much a matter of choice as fitting in with the rest of my company. Mac users used to exist in a bubble, but no for many years now. They must also fit in with corporate.

After so many attempts of trying to restore it the ipad actually wouldnt turn on. Ended up taking it in and they were able to update it there. No idea what they did differently (all they did was connect it and for some reason it worked). Any idea why it would work on one computer and not another? Any idea on the actual cause of this problem?
Thanks for the replies by the way. Once the warranty expires if this happens again and I don't have an extra computer around I'll give tiny umbrella a try. So far owning an iPad has had some VERY frustrating moments.

Same thing here on the iPad, but the iPhone 4 works just fine, both have where updated yesterday. Even tried deleting the app on the iPad and re downloading it but the same results.
