wishlist:

iOS 5.0: totally new look, no more icon based.



!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:apple:
While I agree, I just can't come to think of any other way to display the phones OS. And with pushing ios like apps on the Lion, I just do not see a new look happening. Not when it is so popular. Notifications on the other hand....

I hope it uses it's own battery!:D

Jobs: I have to go to the bathroom. Is that alright?
Schmidt: (Frisks Jobs Crotch)
Barista: I frisked him. He's Clean.
Jobs casually walks to the restroom.

Job walks back to table and casually sits down.
(In Italian)
Schmidt: Do you feel better?
Jobs: Yes.
Schmidt: Stevey, you understand me don't you? You're italian, just like your father. You're Sick. When you feel better, we'll arrange a meeting and everything will be alright. This meanness must come to an end.
Jobs shifts his eyes around the room. Jumps up and shoots Schmidt three times.

I wouldn't pay 270 dollars for a white iPhone whose home button color dont match....

LOL

And the xoom? Not so much.

Kimberly Clark fought, and lost, the same battle over 'kleenex' becoming a generic noun for facial tissue. Bayer lost it over 'asprin' as the name for sodium acetosalcylate. And there are numerous other examples. All were lost because the owners of the trade name did not vigorously defend their trade name. Apple is doing what it must. Will they suceed? If history is any clue probably not

The white iphone 4 plastic edge seems very slightly thicker though.

Hope this is a fake, as I absolutely loathe capacitive buttons on phones.

I agree! My Samsung Galaxy S had capacitive buttons and you could never know if the phone had registered or not.

I live a minute away from Stonebriar but I seriously dislike that mall. I'll be at Willow Bend around 4:30!

I really dislike ALL malls, but Friday I will have to suck it up. It will be a game time decision between WB and SB.

This is absolutely pointless and I'm sick of hearing about it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Sony who started the campaign. Think about it. If you didn't like the X Factor song, you wouldn't buy it. But now there is this silly campaign to buy the RATM song for all the people who hate the X Factor song. Sony wins in either case.

And the reason the X Factor song is usually number one is because, well, the X Factor is popular.

These campaigns are stupid and pointless.


[/thread]

It's not about making Sony lose out. Most of the people buying the single realise that either way, Sony benefits. Yes, Cowell will benefit slightly as he has shares in Sony, but he won't benefit nearly as much as he would if X Factor was number 1. I think it's just that people are fed up of X Factor dominating the charts year after year, and they want to see something new. Myself, I don't mind the RATM song, yes if it was my choice I'd have picked another, but anything is better than the cheesy manufactured pop that comes from Reality TV singing competitions.

Why such a negative response? The software out there sucks... more competition means more quality. Sound design needs some major upgrades. It needs to more innovate.

PCs are great. Macs, IMO, are better, but that is just opinion.
I am definitely not a mac bigot. I am a person who has used
both platforms extensively, have weighed their pro's and con's,
and like a mac more. I am currently running on a PC because
I couldn't afford a mac, which btw is the biggest downside to
macs - affordability. Does SJ really think that a 16 year old who
has to pay for his own computer will be able to afford a mac?
Yes, PCs are cheap (my computer is a testament to that), but
they are anything but perfect. The same goes for mac (well,
the anything but perfect part ;)).

Arguing which is better is stupid, pointless, and impossible. For
reasons like:
* There is no right or wrong opinion
* It depends what you grew up using
* Both have advantages to different people with different occupations
* Both have pro's and con's.

And mac users who say ignorant things because of their zealotry
annoy me just as much, if not more, than they do you, and vice
versa. As long as you acknowledge that both options have their
advantages, and both are better for different people, then I have
no problem. :)

Do these devices need to access anything on your LAN, or do they just need Internet access ?

If they need LAN access, then if you're thinking about just using mac address filtering for them, then why bother with WPA2e for the rest ?

If they just need Internet access, then use a different SSID connected to a VLAN that only has Internet access, obviously with suitable firewall rules in place.

I tend to suggest using a wired connection for anything that doesn't support wireless at the required security level, and if it only supports wireless at a level that doesn't meet the required security level, then I wouldn't purchase it.

I don't understand all the bad push back for this new feature.

I'm walking down inner city and notice Jane is at the local coffee shop, I'll say hi. I'm at the concert with a buddy, and notice Brad is there too. I just entered this really neat cupcake place, I want to let my FRIENDS know.

If you're freaked out a creeper may know your location, why are you friends with them?

All the positive to this new, cool feature - and everyone says is - this will track your every move and people will kidnap you and break into your house, blah blah blah.

I think the white iPhone looks a little ugly. The white looks somehow cheap...

3GB download. It's times like this I wish I lived in Hong Kong.

That's not too big. Just set it to download while you sleep. :)

Who wants to take bets on when the update will be released on torrent sites and FTP servers just like the dev beta? :D

It says 'through Software Update', so if you have Leopard installed, you should be able to download it just like normal updates. No need to go BACK to torrents ;) .

.. stuff ..

I under stand what you are driving at, but the U.S. auto industry seems determined to "persuade" the American consumer to follow the guide-lines that THEY prescribe.

If this continues, your only recourse is to pass on buying Big Three offerings, and trust your future to off-shore manufacturers.

brasso works fine. been using it for 2 years now on the mbp.

This was one of the most handy little apps that I lost when OS X hit the scene. Super intuitive, super effective.

I have Peak and Pro Tools and neither handle those simple, everyday audio needs like a SoundEdit 16 could.

I very much think there is an audience for Soundbooth and that it will be well received. Based on my experienced with SoundEdit 16, if Soundbooth were Universal, I'd more than likely purchase... immediately.

"AT&T may 'periodically modify [their] promotions and distribution channels.'"

Not so much doubt cast, unless one believes that such periodic modifications are random and mercurial.

AT&T sucks, plain & simple. They've been allowed to score big w/ their exclusive iPhone contract, and think that marketing will remedy the problem.

Wake up Apple.

$4.10 so I pay around 40-50

I am expecting in Los Angeles to hit $5, need to research bus route information to work.

I find it funny how investors continue to trust these "analyst" even though none of them have any insider information and are wrong 90% of the time, the other 10% of the time they have been correct was from publishing rumors as facts from stories they more likely read here on MacRumors regarding future products.

http://www.macrumors.com/2010/10/06/early-apple-tv-sales-estimated-at-1-million-per-quarter/

like this guy "Alex Gauna" who called 20 Apple Stores around the country and already determined that the new Apple TV is selling at a rate of 1 millions units a quarter, even thought Apple Stores never give out any information of how many units have been received or sold.

how do these people still have jobs?

Read the chat. They say online cannot be done. You can still purchase one in store.

So in other words: It isn't banned.

No it's not banned. They are intentionally trying to make it more difficult for you to buy it. You have to do the footwork yourself to get it. It is unprecendented for a company to want to make their product more difficult to buy.

Seems fraud is the reason from what that rep said in the chat. Maybe we have started to solve the mystery to this thread (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=613734). ;)


This has already hit Gizmodo. At the time of The Consumerist post, they were already trying to reach AT&T Public Relations. The fraudulent claim is to divert attention away from the original reason.

As for eBay iPhones, you can find any of these for any cell phone under contract on eBay. This, or fraudulent claims, wouldn't be a NYC specific problem.
