Yes, but he was complaining that the *default* view does not tell you this information obviously. List view, column view, and quick look are not default views. I think the default view on Macs has always been icon view.
The iPhone and iPod touch handle pdfs just fine. And they are the only portable video player I've seen that doesn't load up your screen with UI control crap while the video is playing. Those 2" screens on other devices are small enough, do I really need 20% of that to be taken up by a play/pause button that I already have hardware buttons for?
And you still can't download music over the air link, can you? Have you heard of the iTunes wifi music store? It lets you do exactly that. Preview and buy on your phone, and it syncs back to your computer the next time you plug it in.
Note: ZeroConf (AKA Bonjour) rules at the coffee shop. There is nothing like being able to send an IM to all the mac users on the local LAN and see if anyone has a Firewire cable I can borrow. Uh, or you could just look around the coffee shop for those computers with a giant Apple logo on them and, you know, walk over to them to ask.
I heart my PowerMac and two iBooks, but I think it's ridiculous when people IM each other while sitting the same room.
If/when someone figures out how to load the Mail program from the iPhone on the iPod touch, you could email yourself the html pages and read it that way.
You can do fill down and fill right in Numbers. To fill with a single value, highlight that cell and then drag the circle in the lower right corner of the cell. To fill with a pattern (2, 4, 6, etc), highlight at least 2 cells and then drag the circle. But it would be nice if it was in any of the menus or had a keyboard shortcut.
The listed specs show talk time as 5 hours, and audio playblack as 16 hours. There are no estimates of standby time available anywhere. Everyone keeps misreading this as 16 hours of standby time, but that's wrong. 5 hours of talk time is actually pretty standard for a cell phone. Based on the talk time estimate, I'd say standby is probably on the order of a week.
It's called Adobe Lightroom (not LightTable, Lightbox, Light-whatever) and beta 1 is out for Mac already. The beta expires June 2006, and the product will ship for Mac and Windows eventually.
On thing that is not called out in this article (at least not well) is that Apple is saving R&D costs and R&D time by not having to develop its own chipset like is has done in the past. Instead Apple is utilizing Intel developed and manufactured chipsets. Intel has the economy of large volumes for their chipsets, Apple did not.
Uh, actually, they specifically mentioned this in the article:
But during the time it used PowerPC chips, Apple also designed its own custom chip that sat between the PowerPC and other parts of the computer, such as the main memory and graphics chips. That chip has been supplanted by the two less expensive Intel chips, meaning at least some of the development costs associated with that custom chip have been saved. "It's really not an Apples to Apples comparison, if you will," says Instat/MDR chip analyst Kevin Krewell.
I go to school with both Tyson and Leyan, and Leyan tutors me in physics. Tyson's record referred to on the show was already broken by Leyan back in November, however, the show was filmed before then.
And Leyan does have a girlfriend, and they're an adorable couple.
If, like someone else mentioned, people are entering Hummers in the contest, I doubt the weight was much of a deciding factor. They could have just as easily gone with G5 towers, and those things are 44.4 pounds without extra ram/hd/etc. And considering that some people install 500 watt speakers in their cars, I don't think the low power consumption was that much of a factor either. Most likely it was just because the people that designed it worked for NeXT, so they were comfortable with the coding environment.
In finder, hit command-1, command-J. Adjust icon size, put label position on right. Voila, now you can get list view any time by hitting command-1. For thumbnails, check the "show icon preview" option.
That's really interesting, that she downloaded the winning song at 2:44 pm est, or 11:44 am pst. I know that the counter on the front page definitely hadn't hit 500 million yet as of 6 pm pst last night. I think it still hadn't hit at 11 pm, and that the big congrats message showed up around 1 or 2 am.
That means that the cache between the counter and actual songs sold count is greater than than a lot of people thought. I've heard estimates of a 5,000-7,000 song difference, but the actual must be something like 500,000-700,000 songs! Trying to time your buying to the front page counter is just completely hopeless.
The latest stagnation of laptop sells is exactly why Apple is switching to Intel. Starting a year or two ago, laptops began outselling desktops at Apple and the rest of the computer industry as well. Steve Jobs made a big deal in a keynote about how laptops accounted for more than half of Apple sales, and it would be the "year of the laptop." But because Apple has been unable improve their laptop perform significantly in the past couple years, they're moving to Intel to remain competitive.
1) Kid signs up for limited freebee ADC membership, knowing that it does not include access to Tiger beta, in order to have "real" developer (who should certainly know better) place a d/l seed in his area. -- mildly unethical
A better question would be why Apple isn't going after the "real" developer who gave it to him? After all, the ADC agreement for his free account wouldn't have anything to do with the Tiger beta, since he wouldn't have had access to it anyway. The developer who gave him the seed is the one who agreed to a NDA and then broke it.
Under $100? A gig of ram by itself would be $100 at least. Never mind the CPU, case, CD drive, and ports. Plus the market for this would be so small they'd make no money on it.
That program's built into the iPod. You can view "notes" or short text files from the main menu. I tried sticking all my lyrics in the notes folder, but it was a pain to have it load 500+ separate text files each time I accessed the menu. I imagine would have taken quite a while to load a 32 gb text file.
As for the lookup, the dictionary's in alphabetical order. Just zoom down the file using the nifty scroll wheel and look up the definition. Bam.
In my experience, flip phones are annoying to use. I hate the thumb movement to open and close it. They just don't cooperate with my hand, and the motion feels awkward. I personally have the Kyocera SE47 slider phone. All the convenience, none of the pain. Plus I can press a button to silence a call without opening the phone.
But knowing things about computers has very little correlation with your writing style (which is what the article compares) or your intelligence (which is what everyone else is commenting on).
And personally, I don't think OS X users need to know anything about a computer before they start using one. The great majority of OS X users probably know somewhere in the back of their head that it's based on "some Unix BSD thing" but never bother to launch Terminal (command line program).

Apple actually puts up the new episodes the day after they're broadcast on TV, not the week after.

On thefacebook.com, "visualize my friends" creates an svg file that shows all the connections between your friends, and Safari displays it just fine.

Didn't they already try this "subscription" method, with horrid results?
Oh no, now they only get paid $10 million per movie instead of $11 million. What will all those poor starving actors do?
