I genuinely think that if Apple are introducing a movie store today they're going to have something rather special up their sleeve - I think pricing should be extremely competitive compared to DVDs otherwise what's the point?

Digital downloads of films (sorry, movies) needs to be made appealing to the masses in the same way music was, with cheap individual prices that compared favourably to CDs - people have gotten used to owning only digital copies of their music, however movies are still in that tangible area of hard media, and I feel Apple are going to have to really be priced competitively to alter public perception of digital distribution of movie content.

Not that they *won't* of course, but I don't think it's going to be necessarily easy.

If they introduce HD content I'll be a very happy bunny.

I threw up in my mouth a little bit� for a month with the Intel switch.

I may have to hospitalized if this actually happens.

You can't TM that... I remember Jack saying that on Will&Grace like 3 seasons ago. :D

also used in Dodgeball

By the way I hope this rumor isn't true.

Yeah.... 2 bars on 3.5G..... And the iP4 goes to edge or even dropped calls cause of no signal. The nokia may have dropped to 2 bars but is still fine since it's still on the 3G network. It will take a lot more than that to drop it to edge...

I hope they go back to the rounded buttons. The new square ones are too windows-like. Also that new iCal interface looks like crap.

making the acds a higher resolution definitely means that there will be new ones soon just like the powerbooks screen before the macbook pro

I now agree with skunk's assertion there is no room for apathy. After you vote you cannot retract it to a neutral or apathetic stance, you can only choose to move to the other side of the fence.

I'm ready to order a second iMac 17" 2.0 from the Apple on-line store after midnight.

Besides the estimated US$100 discount on Black Friday the retail stores and the on-line store should provide a coupon giving one access to Apple's low profile recycling program. One can recycle up to 140 pounds (less shipping boxes) of old computer junk by obtaining from Apple two Fed-Ex shipping labels. Drop two boxes off at Fed-Ex and Apple will pay for the shipping to their recycling center. Supposedly good equipment gets directed to worthy organizations and the toxic stuff gets recycled properly. If you buy a Mac elsewhere you can't participate in Apple's recycling program.

My 1989 LaserWriter II still prints fine but will not work with any of my current Macs. A 1994 Sony 17" CRT monitor and a Power Mac 6100 are likewise ready to recycle. Where I live it would cost me $75 at the dump and over $100 to ship them to a responsible computer recycler.

Bad news. I would love Google to make a nice music player, personally. I couldn't care less about buying music from their store as I prefer physical discs. Something with the speediness of foobar and a similar GUI to itunes without all the crap like Ping would be great. Itunes runs perfectly fine on my MBP but often crashes and takes 10 seconds to load up on my ThinkPad even with a SSD.

I would normally not consider purchasing a GM vehicle, but the Volt looks really good.

The U.S. can build cars just as good as the best of the rest of the world, but only when we want to - which is a shame, because we historically haven't wanted to.

Google is finding out just how difficult it is to negotiate with record labels. :p

Sorry, but whether I have guns in my house with my kids is not anyones business but my own.

Is asking if the gun is locked up and out of the kids reach really crossing the line?

I don't get why people would get so worked up over that. Is it weird for a pediatrician to ask if the gun is locked up? Sure, but I don't think it crosses any boundaries.

The voting on the front page has nothing to do with what's good for Apple. Sorry you've been deceived into thinking as much for so long, though.

oh so Apple being sued isn't bad for Apple? and Apple sueing somebody isn't good for Apple because they are defending their patents? :rolleyes:

And people kept telling me that OSX and iOS weren't going to merge in any meaningful manner for years ahead, if ever. Yeah right. I'd bet the one after this has them nearly fully merged and I mean towards iOS for the most part. OSX will be dumbed down to the lowest common brain cell and you won't be able to get free/open software anymore. It'll have to come through the App Store or not at all. Wait and see. That is the point I'll be moving on.

Thumbs up to you, man. I'll be passing the Lion for some flavour of Linux as well.

Where is it...:o

C'mon Apple...put it up on your servers :cool:

He is a male, just like me, I can't believe you don't understand that...

He thinks he is female which is a whole other thing





Wow.

Your ignorance related to trans issues is really showing here. I suggest you do a little research on this topic next time around.

She is a woman plain and simple, what is or isn't between her legs does not matter one bit IMO.

Using aluminum would hinder the cellular reception wouldn't it ?

Yep. Just like the iPad.

UK prices have not changed still �529 for the 20" and �779 for 23", i'm ready to buy a new Mac Pro 2.66 & a Cinema Display but not if the UK prices dont drop.

Watch out, everyone here will bitch at you for using over 1gb of "unlimited" data...

Im going to milk this unlimited data plan for all it is worth!

Does anyone else think selling/running video in iTUNES is a little counter-intuitive?

Maybe with Disney coming on board it will be called iTOONS! ;)

Why did Apple do away with live feeds of the event? That seems like a good idea. What are they trying to avoid?

It would be sad if they'd decide to close them. :(

Yes, I do.

Mord, wow. :eek: That's all. :)

apple always gives us surprise(?), so we might have

iphone 4 = the one that we have now
iphone 4S = a new one with A5 chip
iphone 4L = a new one with bigger screen but old chip
iphone 4SL = a new one with A5 chip and bigger screen
