I read some mac forums because I have an iPhone and apple crap is just as buggy. The latest problem on the new iMacs is screen flickering and extreme chopiness when playing flash content. People who boot into windows via boot camp say the problem never comes up in windows
the iphone GPS apps are 1.2GB of data that gets installed to your iphone. they install all the maps and other data in case you lose your signal while driving
are you naive? Do you really think the Catholic Church went to Michaelangelo and said here is a bunch of money, take all the time you need and just send a message when you're done? and if you never finish it then just keep the money?
No, they said we need a sculpture for so and so church to be done by this deadline for some event where it will be prensented.
I work in a part of NYC with a bunch of art galleries. there are bills to pay to keep the business going and that means you always have to have a supply of art to sell. Just like in the old days when Michaelangelo or Da Vinci had to pay their students who worked for them, buy the materials, pay the mortgage, pay the living expenses, etc.
i'll buy the paper books or download them on my iphone via the kindle or B&N reader apps. loaning books sounds like a good option and i hope they bring it to the B&N iphone app. with websites like Goodreads that link to facebook, it can be a viral marketing strategy
Except when you compare the iphone to other cell phones it's priced in the middle of the pack, not more expensive than everyone else. Most of the price of a cell phone is in the monthly bill. iphone prices range from $50 for a 3G refurb to $299 for a 32GB 3GS which is in line with other cell phones. An iphone will run you $70 a month for the basic plan. Sprint's cheapest plan is $60 and I priced VZW at $85 a month for a cheap plan.
and unlike the Mac of the 1980's the iphone has the most developer support and recent studies have shown that iphone apps make more money than the same Android app. It's too early for the Pre, but so far it makes more financial sense for a developer to write apps for the iphone rather than for Android. And Apple's recent rule changes will mean less piracy and more money for developers
last 20 or so years the only thing that improved in consoles was graphics. the controllers have stayed the same and a few gimmicks like the power glove never caught on. now the graphics are good enough even if they get better that people want a different game play experience and not just better graphics
they want you to buy a whole album and not a few songs so they sell you an LP which is all the songs, a few videos, and DVD type making of crap that you can only view on a computer
every iphone and ipod touch runs the latest OS. only difference is touch users have to pay for a major release.
my wife's iphone 3G came with 2.1 and i'm going to upgrade it to 3.1.2 soon because some apps are requiring 3.1 at the minimum due to new functionality introduced.
the hype about "cloud computing" is that there are never any failures and all your data is always going to be safe. at least that's the way the tech rags hype it.
iphone has the same hardware as most of the other cell phones, including the Pre. latest ARM core CPU, infeneon 3G radio, broadcom wifi chip.
iphone only became a hit with the 3G when it got Exchange support and the app store. before that it was another pretty thing apple made up with no features that the cult of steve loved
don't work for anything fashion related, but in the same area in NYC. i see some of the models going in and out of the building and i swear in real life it's like they are auditioning for Schindler's List 2
i looked it up and they applied for it in 1994, and they had a prototype web browser they wrote that they displayed publicly at a trade show in 1993. more like someone was smart and thought of the next evolution of NCSA Mosaic.
Microsoft's ActiveSync is already on 50 million and growing Apple devices, the Palm Pre and Google has licensed it for it's online sync service. IE is old news and MS doesn't seem to care about it anymore. Now MS owns the technology that transfers documents and email over the internet between devices.

it's US law that you can't go after the stockholders
and back in those days most people didn't care about pollution

last I read it was in 10.6.1 or in the 10.6.2 developer preview

buy a netbook and install linux
this is an ebook reader, what is the point of installing another version of linux and other apps when netbooks have more features for the same price

i can only imagine
mod this up

it's always annoying to try to click a link for the story and it selects the entire thing and just takes you back to the top of the page
except for the flash based ones, slashdot is the most annoying to navigate on my iphone
i can understand leaving it in your bag if you're coming from work, but why would you take it out?
the format was created back in the 1990's when PMPs with 32MB storage were high end
nope

didn't the little ice age end last century? that means the world is supposed to be warming unless the ice age temperatures are considered normal?
Dell offers a tiny desktop that if you configure with the same options as Apple's Mac's it will cost more. Same with HP all in ones.
Reason Mac's cost more is that even the imac's and minis all use the same laptop components as the macbook's
with PC's you can buy desktop parts which will give you more performance at a lot less cost
