Launchpad is now an app in the Applications folder, and can be removed from the Dock.

Is frontrow back?

No, and they removed the mention of it from the Sound prefpane. ("Play Front Row sound effects")

Jobs receives a call during keynote and reaches into his pocket...

...audience errupts with joyful tears...

...pulls out iTunes compatible motorola phone....

...audience sighs....and cries....

....Steve gets another call 5 mintues later...

...pulls out iPhone

...geeks bumrush the stage and carry Steve off on their shoulders

Nice idea. I have to say IF an [insert apple phone name here] was launched I'm pretty sure I'd buy one as I'm in the market right now. *shrug* Who knows!?

Harley-Davidson doesn't make automatics. I never learned to drive automatic anyhow, I wouldn't have the first clue what to do in one of them. What does P R N D 2 1 even mean ?

I rather just buy a dvd for $10-20. I'm not downloading anything from the apple store for that price.

One of these days the MBP Merom rumor will be correct. :)

Again people saying you couldn't play with a touchscreen device without looking at it have no imagination or understanding. Definately within two years you will be shown to be horribly wrong on this point.

You're sure about that? Considering the next Xbox isn't due for release till about 2015, and the PS4 probably later, and I'm pretty sure those systems will ship with controllers. The Kinect being an optional extra.

And I seriously doubt the iPad will could be seen as a serious competitor to Games Consoles and PC gaming, in the same way my calculator is a competitor to my iPhone because it performs a same function, better than my iPhone does.

All you have to do is drag .app in trash then instead of "empty trash", use secure empty trash so it can find the rest of the files:D

Unless I am very mistaken, that is not how that works.

Welcome to where the above phrase is not considered an oxymoron. :rolleyes:

I can see that dropping the Core Solo happening because for a little extra you can get a Core Duo.

Silver iPod Classic 160 gb to replace the one I left in the bus seat pocket 6mo ago. $228 on Amazon.

Shure SRH440 headphones to replace my broken Grado's but I needed something without leakage... $72 on Amazon.

Both with free 2-day shipping with a "free trial" of Amazon Prime.

So I guess I can't be in the guard or reserve...

Not at all, provided you meet the requirements. I was merely pointing out that a Director of IT posted on a Mac forum asking how to remotely access his network.

Based on your posts, I question if you meet the age requirements of this forum.

Yes, support for more formats and codecs than iTunes currently plays friendly with would be welcome.You know I originally thought that, but I kind of like the way it works now. I would much rather have a few codecs that work very well. Then play everything under the sun just not very well.

On a happier note -- I don't think I've seen this mentioned yet -- DP 2 seems to be taking about 1.5gb less space.

There are more details here - http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060719/sfw089.html?.v=60
Desktop sales are down 14% on last quarter, and 23% on a year ago, but laptop sales are up a whopping 60% on last quarter and 61% on a year ago.
23% drop in desktop sales is surprising to me. Is it just due to people waiting for PowerMacs with Intels? It is not a good sign that higher iMac sales are not making up for it.

Of course, maybe Apple sold so many Mac Minis last year, that a drop was inevitable.

I'm still rocking my eBay Hong Kong cases. Order a couple more earlier in the week to the tune of $1.99 each. Got a gel style smoke colored case, and a clear hard snap on case. Both from seller Ashopone. I like trying out different cases for only a buck or two each.

I tried out the Grip Vue at my local Best Buy. One of the green ones was already torn open, so I figured what the hell and popped in on my iPod. I loved the fit, but I didn't like the feel of the buttons. It's like I wasn't getting any feedback at all. Wasn't sure if I was pressing it or not. Do you people with Grip Vue find the buttons awkward feeling, or are they ok on yours?

The Griffin hardshell will come apart without damage, it is just VERY :cool: snuggly fit together.

I got a fingernail into the seam, then some steady force pulling the lower section straight back did the trick. It's a nice case with a beautiful fit.

I did not opt for a screen protector, no second thoughts. I've found these often get pretty mucked up themselves on other devices, and that by itself would be a shortcoming on this amazing display.

For a lot of traveling, maybe an inexpensive slip case? Best luck.


Thanks, Eolian.

I think I'll just go with the case for a while and see how it goes. If the front starts to take a beating, I can always use the Invisishield then. So far, I'm really liking this case.

I don't understand this. Apple has carried a 20" monitor as their low end for two years. Why offer something even smaller after so long? This seems like a step backwards.

Exactly, as someone here said earlier, "the 20" is the new 17"

if it gets bigger, does it get thinner?

the fact that after the second generation Jetta, VW had to rename the car in germany/europe (Bora, Vento) and still had lousy sales there, should have been a warning sign

the last few generations of the jetta have been absolute rubbish ... i hoping this new generation is actually better

Win :D

I disagree: people already spend time/gas/money DRIVING to a video store to rent something that become worse than useless: you have to drive again to return it :) Or, with Netflix you just have to mail it, but the wait is days--much longer than a download.


If people still drive to the video store to rent movies, then why are Blockbuster et al. going out of business? Everyone I know uses Netflix, not stores, nowadays, unless they don't have a computer, in which case iTunes is not their target market anyway.

I don't see online rental cutting into, like, BitTorrent, personally...if that was the point of the iTunes Store (to provide an alternative to pirating).

Rentals are stupid...what if something comes up and I can't watch my movie within the alotted time? I'm just screwed, then?

That's why the Netflix model is brilliant, though saddled with a delay...you can watch the movie whenever you want.

Gosh, I'll be able to email and type Word docs SO much faster!! :p

yup, and my webpages will load in the blink of an eye... definitely worth whatever apple will charge. ;)

seriously though, how hard is it to get a program to multi-thread? (if thats the right term; being a complete programming novice, i've no idea)
