Again, the military is inextricable from the economy. Not only are large sectors heavily dependent on military spending (like the town of 150,000 just west of me, that would utterly collapse if its two bases were closed), but a weaker military would risk tremendous losses in international commerce as foreign nations take back control of their own markets and resources absent the pressure of potential American military action.
So we must continue our imperial ways simply because of economic reasons?

Finally the truth. I know because I've been using 3G phones since the first day AT&T rolled them out. Call quality was immediately improved as was data transfer speeds. The various phones sold in those years all demonstrated the distinct advantage.
Apple and their biased partners in the blogosphere are the masters of spin.
Don't get me wrong I'm a huge Apple enthusiast, but I'm a bigger supporter of the truth.
Hopefully when the day arrives that Jobs moves on, integrity, ethics and truth will be allowed back into the organization.
What is the truth exactly? I understand what you mean that 3G was more along then some think but I get the impression (and I could be wrong) that you are saying that it is Apples fault for AT&Ts network issues?

Movies purchased from the iTunes Store can't be burned to a DVD or VCD that will play in a DVD player or Video CD.
How is apple service different from Amazon?. Other than a pretty interface (last time i checked, pretty interfaces did not save me money or help pay the bills).. what's different?. Is the pricing different?.. are the restrictions different?.. why shouldn't I buy from amazon.. what happened to "when apple comes out with their service, they will kill amazon"??
Lame.

Maybe they'll announced that they've finally got AirDisk working with the Airport Extreme n, and will apologise for their complete incompetence and track record with this product so far.
If we're REALLY lucky we might even be able to use AirDisk with Time Machine.
Or maybe it will be the smell of ******** when Steve gives some other product the false hype that the Airport Extreme got...

lol... Comments are priceless:
No kidding -- kinda reads like the iPad comments from last year, except instead of six pages there are probably hundreds for iPad. Weird looking at those forum posts and not recognizing any of the posters and seeing some labeled as "guest".
Some guy named "Beholder of Truth" really nailed it on why the iPod would be revolutionary. People probably called him an "Apple Fanboy" or whatever the 2001 equivalent of that was (one guy called him a "Tool").
Very amusing reading those comments.

Notice the phone besides the ipod and itunes? This page is about podcasts and what is a phone doing there alongside ipod and itunes? Does this spell something
about what we all wanted from apple: the iphone? Just my 2 cents. Leopard rox!
What kind of phone is that? Just a mockup?

The ClickWheel "interface" of the classic is a royal pain in the back when you have to navigate through thousands of titles.
It's easy to navigate with the click wheel if your songs are properly tagged. I'd rather use it than the iOS iPod app. :)

I am pleased to see these colour iPods back. I have a 6GB Mini and i would have liked Apple to have made maybe a 6GB or 8GB Nano in different colours. If i get one of these new Nanos it would feel like a bit of a downgrade to me in terms of space. I guess that i would be gaining in other areas though. I do suspect though that Apple will up the hard drive capacity on these colour Nanos in the future.
It is a bit strange they way that they have done this though making all the colour ones 4GB and the 8GB the black one only.
I noticed also that they only support 10.3.9 and up all those who are using older Mac Software are going to face a bit of a problem if they want to buy one of these new Nanos.

Yeah, the point just flew right above your head. Just like 99% of the posters on this thread. This is not about others "reviewing" our apps. It is about the process itself. Do you know that Trillian (yep, the messenger) has been in review for 2 months now without a word from Apple?
Spending time, money, and effort working on an App, submitting it then sitting not knowing what is going to happen or when you are going to hear back from them is ridiculous. Assuming after waiting 3 weeks, they found a bug in your app. You know what happens? Even if you can fix the bug in 1 min? You are sent to the back of the queue for another 3 weeks. That is almost 2 months to get your app to the store. I know some dude who had his app approved after 4 months. A complete joke!
This developer that you are joking about worked on Firefox (yeah, that's right!) and firebug (one of the best FF extensions EVER).
You guys are funny.
I get the point. Really.
He might be a great developer - but his app crashes consistently for me.
He is philosophically opposed to the process. Tough. QA takes time.
I don't get to write and deploy code - I watch it go through committees and batteries of tests. Reviews are part of life - even within Firefox I'm sure Mozilla reviews code.
He should test it before sending it in. No loops that way.
To me he is a whiner.

I finally got through on the phone after waiting 45 minutes on hold.
On a side note, is this the same battery they're recalling (and still selling)? :rolleyes:

What does it matter? The more sales the better, right?Exactly. There are only so many Apple Stores around the country. Apple realized it could sell more products to more people if it branched out and sold them in stores everywhere. So what if it's Target or Best Buy or Radio Shack? If it's closer to your house, it'll be easier for you to buy. Of course, that also assumes they can make enough supply for the demand! ;)

Very similar external case, but the insides are totally new and different--so I think we'll see this case design for quite a while to come. That answers that, you can stop waiting for a new design :)
Lots of great attention to detail--like the way the drive-holders are numbered in case you take more than one out and forget where they came from.
I still wonder where the Airport and Bluetooth antennas are.
The new internal layout of the Mac Pro is ultra-wicked...
Couldn't agree with you more. It seems even if they bring new displays to Paris in Sept they will have the same basic design cues. Which also means that any design update to the macbook pro will be pretty subtle as well. Apple's Pro line-up is destined to carry the same design and silvery/slightly champagne-ish anodized look for quite some time in the future. Why fix something that's not broken?

Now edit for speeling.
If you're correcting someone's spelling, it looks better if you spell the word "spelling" correctly. ;)
Back on topic, this would be short-sighted of Wal-Mart. Ten years from now, movies and music on physical media will largely be things of the past, much like cassette tapes are today. The change won't come right away, but it will come. If Wal-Mart wants to beat Apple at this game, it will have to introduce its own movie download service.

Pirates are douchebags.
Don't worry about it. The guys who can't afford to pay for it and pirate it are usually the folks who just want to "hoard" it rather than use it. If they had any talent to begin with, they'd be making enough money with the tool where the cost of it would be meaningless anyway. ;)

I'd confirm it, I've been suffering almost half the battery life since updating. I worried it was the battery but my device is only 6 months old, I hope 4.3.1 does address the issue and that it's not really my battery.

I think Apple will continue to sell it so long as its profitable. They clealry dont have many engineers dedicating lots of time to it, so if it sells theyll continue to sell it.
We might see an update to an iOS-based system similar to the nano. It may get a price drop because its specs can be met at such a lower cost today. A budget introduction to the Apple+iTunes ecosystem, perhaps? Filling the gap between the nano and the touch?
