http://www.plaxo.com/ lets me sync gmail contacts to my iPhone - via Apple Address Book and iSync. As a bonus, it also syncs my google calandar too. the only drawback is that i have to trust yet another web company with my information.
you may not like the rooting behavior, but i do. it hides extra info that i don't need to consider. then again, i know how to command click on the window title if i want to go further up in the directory hierarchy:)
It's worth pointing that the Windows HCI guidelines, also, require that all functionality be accessible without using a context menu. lazy windows developer: it's windows.. every computer has 2 buttons, why bother putting things in places other than the logical spot? mac developer: well crap, it makes sense to me to put it in a context menu, but i have to put it somewhere else also because macs still come with only 1 mouse button. (mighty mouse is configured oob with other buttons set to 'mouse 1' - and all notebooks also only have 1 button)
Current models allow a configuration (via System Preferences) wherein a click is a right-click when two fingers are on the trackpad. And two fingers are used to scroll, as well. I find this solution very satisfactory. until you put 2 fingers on the track pad and the link you were trying to right click on scrolls out from under the pointer
since i'm not interested in either of those games i can turn around drop them off for $5 each at FunCoGameStopLand. wake me when the system comes with something fun like bioshock, or halo 3, or gears of war, or mass effect, or...
thats funny, cause i have my iBook overloaded and it sleeps just fine whenever i close it. maybe it's because i did the other hack to enable safe sleep (hybernate). oh wait, it has to work even harder right when i close it while it dumps a full 1.125 gigs onto disk before cutting power!
1. They want it freakin' now, no waiting, not even for a few days (+iTunes, BitTorrent DVR) 2. No ads killing the flow/suspense/illusion of the show (+iTunes, BitTorrent, DVD, DVR) 3. Straight to their TV (+TV, DVD, BitTorrent, iTunes, DVR) 4. NO DIGITAL RESTICTIONS MANAGEMENT (+TV...for the time being)
iTunes is 3/4, DVD 2/4, TV 2/4, BitTorrent 4/4, DVR 3/4
It's called "managing expectations". Someone at NASA decided, "Let's tell everyone we're only expecting it to last 90 days. If the thing craps out, no one will have expected it to last longer. If it lasts longer, we'll be praised by all the geeks on/." in other words, NASA is the anti-scotty
One of these days, they may even make a human interface device made to work with human hands instead of impressing human eyes, not that I'm holding my breath. yeah, i'm hot holding my breath eather - they just shipped one a couple of months ago....
don't forget that OS X (iPhone's OS) is derived from Mac OS X, which in itself has a pretty powerful TTS engine, that frankly sounds MUCH more human, though still not natural. i'd be kinda surprised if apple's TTS engine isn't already on the iPhone waiting to be used - especially since they've been putting some resources into it lately. [link - it's a shame they don't have the sample for alex posted anymore... you'll hear it in october!]

And if he did sentence her to jail, there would be such a major public uproar that it would bring the MPAA and Crown to their knees. the mainstream media is so atrified that nobody would notice that she got sentenced to jail. i'm sorry, but we already live in a faciest state.:(
carbon is in the process of being depreciated, and cocoa is quite portable. this makes your statement null.
Your suggestions are not practicle. With portable, we mean we can switch to some different UNIX system to avoid a vendor lock-in. You know? Apple? Vendor lock-in? Okay, now that you have that straight in your head also realize GnuStep will not aid in that at all in evading the vendor lock-in at least not right now. the little bit of reading i've done on GnuStep is that it will absolutly aid in evading vendor lock-in, as long as your mac apps avoid those pesky (and depreciated!) carbon API's - better yet, write to GNUStep and port to cocoa, it's probably faster:P
In theory one could use that and translate some system calls and you're a long way much like FreeBSD does Linux emulation. in practive GnuStep and Cocoa are siblings. they both decend from the OPENstep specification, which initself relies on POSIX system calls.
However almost all those GNOME and KDE apps are a mere recompile away and otherwise they're runnable with Linux libraries. With MacOSX software that is not possible either. i have to compile the same KDE and GNOME apps to make them work on my mac, just like you can compile a pure cocoa app with GNUStep on linux.
Else we would be able to run Photoshop OSX port on Linux. photoshop is carbon, and we've established that carbon is a)not protable, and b)depreciated. what's your point?
Yet carbon and cocoa are not portable at all. carbon is in the process of being depreciated, and cocoa is quite portable. this makes your statement null.
Isn't evolution *also* pretty much just a theory at this point, like Intelligent Design? Isn't astronomy *also* pretty much just a theory at this point, like astrology?
Connectix used to do this (in v3 or so) for the mac. Emulating an x86 CPU on PPC. Basically, they just provided a pass-through OpenGL driver that hit the native driver & hardware.
Close. It wasn't OpenGL, it was GLIDE. and version 2. (click here if you want to flash back to heady days of decent II and Dark Forces II)
my dad just got tripple play from the local cable company ($33/month...per service!) here in sonoma county. the FIRST thing i did once i had wireless running was to test the speed (over wireless) and i got 20mbit. i hate comcast, but 20mbit is about as fast as you can get as a consumer in the us.:\
on that note, i also have 20mbit cable from comcast, and i don't pay a dime for it. my room mate does.:)

i would hardly call AAC obscure. it has more device market penetration than WMA, that real defecation and OGG combined. even the zune plays AACs! ;)

steve jobs has gone on record calling it a "cat and mouse game" if that doesn't dispel reasonable doubt about intent, i don't know what does

Which is why you have to do some hacking in order to let an iBook run with the lid closed
I'd word it like this:
1. They want it freakin' now, no waiting, not even for a few days (+iTunes, BitTorrent DVR)
2. No ads killing the flow/suspense/illusion of the show (+iTunes, BitTorrent, DVD, DVR)
3. Straight to their TV (+TV, DVD, BitTorrent, iTunes, DVR)
4. NO DIGITAL RESTICTIONS MANAGEMENT (+TV...for the time being)
iTunes is 3/4, DVD 2/4, TV 2/4, BitTorrent 4/4, DVR 3/4
um... let me rewrite that for clarity:

... does it run linux?
and since apple has all the rights and source to HFS(+)(Journaled) they can just as easily write a windows driver for it as well.

oh crap! i've patched my patch, thanks.
i fixed your sig... and stole it :P
