iTunes has always been a frustration to work with. I have thousands of MP3s in mine, mostly OTR and the concept of one central library isn't too bad, but the inability to create folders within folders, for organization, is exasperating. It's like these designers never thought anyone would like to organize more than 1 folder deep.
Just create separate playlists -- there are playlist folders you can use as well. If you are talking about the file system organization, you can ask iTunes to leave the files alone, giving you full control over how your music files are organized.
"Checked" songs are sheer idiocy with an iPhone, iPad and two iPods all syncing the same music, and there's no other song-level ability include/exclude specific songs from specific devices.
Having worked with iTunes Music Library XML file using Python, I knew of Apple's focus with songs, not albums (BTW, great record "You're the Guy..." -- you wouldn't happen to have the long version of "Sharkey's Night"?). I also think they need to work on their review interface. Not sure how Ping will evolve, but right now it looks very immature for an Apple service, almost like it was filler for the Sept. 1 iPod show.
Hmmm. I don't have the same experience as you. I use iTunes daily without issue. It works fine with my iPhone. It has yet to be "ill-behaved". My only issue with Ping, which I think is a great concept, is that it will probably languish and not catch on. Right now there is not much to it, and without some major initiative on Apple's part to seed it with worthwhile connection opportunities, I don't see it taking off.
While the above is probably rightly marked flamebait, there is a truth hidden in the midst of it. Czech policies on some level have been causing massive migration of Romi to France and Italy, sparking off the recent debate over who's allowed to be in what country (despite fairly broad travel agreements under EU treaty).
I believe the issue with the Romi is not the right to travel to France and Italy, but the right to stay there. Similar to the U.S. and people staying here beyond their visa limits.
A lot of the time with both laptops and PCs the cores are entirely unused.
So? That is more a problem of application programmers than hardware designers.
Since processing is largely a duopoly of AMD and Intel, both have been guilty of marketing their hardware by highlighting the core numbers.
This does not even make sense. Why shouldn't a company tout the fact that they have more cores on a chip than before? And this is Apple's advertising anyway, not AMD/Intel. The price alone would keep most people from buying the high-end, as it always has. However, for my work in radar signal processing using heavily-threaded applications, this machine would be a great addition to my desktop since I would no longer have to run my signal processing streams distributed over several hosts; one host could do the job just fine.
I agree. As an Apple shareholder, I enjoy reading about the pending or settled lawsuits in the proxy materials Apple sends out every year. I don't know if there are any stats freely available, but I bet that most large companies have one or more active lawsuits against them. And I would be that the more popular the company (media attention, stock price), the more likely they are to have the lawsuits.
Apple's own video about the iPhone 4 mentions the power-saving advances of the A4. Not sure what they did though, and the article does not talk about that.
The reason this is trollish is that there are significant differences between these two situations. Google.com is Google's website! The iOS devices on the other hand are devices that people have purchased and now ostensibly own.
Comprehension is really starting to decline here on/. For the purposes of iAds, Apple is the server. Apple hosts the ads. Google or anyone else is free to create their own ad distribution and display system for the iPhone (as others have already done -- ads exist today in some apps, including jailbroken ones).
How is this insightful? Its stupid. Any move by Google to shut out Apple users would affect Google since it effectively removes a segment of the population from their data collection endeavors. I doubt that they would want that. Not to mention how silly it would appear to the rest of the world.
You could write the same applications that would run in the browser and completely defeat the native apps that Apple sells.
You can do that today. There are some very good Javascript libraries that get you very close to or at the experience a user gets from a Cocoa application. Your argument makes no sense.
From day 1, our Congress has used its authority to create agencies to perform work under a charter. You may not like it, but our founding fathers did it.

License the patents?
That article was from 2008 when LSE was running Windows. From Wikipedia:
"After suffering extended downtime and unreliability[25][26] the LSE announced in 2009 that it was planning to switch to Linux in 2010."
YMMV
I assume you have looked at LuciadMap. It does much of this, though in Java, not C++.
Hey, if this book is not up your alley, then perhaps you'd like to attend the prestigious 1st Annual Catholic Conference on Geocentrism
No, the problem is that the story is false. Incredible how much bloviated nonsense has accumulated in this thread for something that never happened.
Then either A) You have a Mac or B) You have an awesome machine!
I have both!

Huh? Just have a playlist per device.

Works for me.

Sky is eponymous
I did not know that the sky outside was named after someone named Sky? Or were you thinking of another word instead of eponymous.

So you don't mind if we listen in on your cell phone conversations?
