I don't think this stuff would go over well for a keynote address. People want to see new products and software with new features at a conference, they don't want to see that you're repairing your old software.
Thank God. GrapeNuts and Coffee usually get me going in the morning. But now that I can have coffee cereal with coffee, I'll be sure to blowup the office bathroom at least an hour earlier.
Hopefully they'll make a version of coffee cereal with chocolate or marshmallow laxatives. The prize inside of the box could be some sort of promotional Texas neck-tie with hobbits on it...or something like that.
God, why do the Japanese have to turn everything into a robot:/ First pets, then car salesmen, now this. If Battlestar Galactica or the Matrix ever comes true... you know who to blame.
Visit the Apple store online, scroll down, and look for "special deals" to your left.
Apple sells refurbished, returned, and clearance items there. Everything has been looked over, repaired (if necessary), repackaged, and sold with the same warrantee and warrantee options are non refurbished goods.
I usually buy most of my Apple hardware this way. I've been quite pleased. Everything has worked great.

Small Dog has an iPod trade up program (cool!) http://www.smalldog.com/wag13041/
Keep these guys in mind should you happen to actually buy an iPod;)
When I was a kid I used to love to build giant Lego forts and smash them with lego vehicles. They were one of the few toys you could break and put back together. My Lego men always lived in a state of destruction and war, or reconstruction.
If I had a giant lego WTC that would seriously mess with me. On one shoulder, a little Lego devil would say "toss a Lego plane into that, you can easily put it back together." And on my other shoulder a little Lego angel would say "Are you f**king kidding me?!"
To the user Safari doesn't appear to be integrated into the OS (like MSIE); however, its does access a lot global system resources that other applications frequently use.
Webkit is a fairly major one. Mail, Help, OmniWeb, etc all access this.

True. And if AOL did the same thing, then they might have something good on their hands.
Perhaps if AOL would by me an iMac or an eMac, then I'd pay for AOL for a couple years.
People should not be allowed to patent vague information information and product design/architecture concepts that anyone riding the short bus could come up with.
I swear, people patent BS and think they are f'n Thomas Edison.
I agree. I think this is wasteful. We can't have people tossing nice 20in LCDs every 3-4 years.
Yet, then again, People do toss laptops every few years. And, Macs usually stay "in action" for a long time if their owners don't try and put unreasonable software on them. Ya can't run Photoshop CS on a 604e machine... but 5 will still run fine and do the job.
Most disney games are shcokwave/flash now. However, if you a mac user with kids you really need to check out Pangea Software:
http://www.pangeasoft.net/index2.html
They make some great kid-friendly games. However, advise getting a new GameCube for $80-$100 bucks. Free up your computer with a game console and you won't have fight over who gets to use the pretty Mac.
"OS X kicks ass but i'd like a Mac version of Tweak UI (a windows util) 'cause i don't need a lot of the graphic options and i can't ever seem to turn them off. maybe i'm just too new of a mac newb."
There are a lot of good/free UI tweaking tools for OS X. TinkerTool is a must, for sure. But check out versiontracker.com They list the most mac freeware / shareware / commercial software on the web.
This guy does not understand that displaying tasks and process is not the same as the "desktop metaphor." Longhorn STILL uses a desktop metaphor (trust me, I'm an interface designer). It had files, it has folders, and it has a desktop. However, Microsoft has seemingly chosen to rearrange the ways people access frequently used tasks within the desktop metaphor GUI.
Apple has done similar things within OS X. Apple has also looked for new ways to present tasks and processes to users. However, Apple's approaches are usually significantly different then Microsofts.
Actually, they carry censored CDs, don't tell their customers, and refuse to take back opened CDs. A lot of people, including me, consider that censorship.
If you buy an album, and it turns out of have weird blank spaces in it, you're usually stuck with it... Unless you chose to make a -big- stink.
Slashdot Mirror
It's not an Apple battery.
It's a battery from a third party manufacturer.
Apple doesn't make batteries.
(PS. Apple has switched to a new battery manufacturer)
(PPS. My old first edition iPod still works perfectly. Most of them do.)

Cool :) :)
Now, if only we can get tabbed browsing for the ITMS
Every OS has flaws, but at least just about all of MacOS's security holes are plugged -before- they are exploited.
Nooooo!
:(
They'll still let us use WinME?? Right??
Please Microsoft, don't take that precious jewel away too
God knows, Win9x is the BEST OS ever made. It's better then sex, robots, and ninjas.

Well, obviously, it wasn't called "inkwell" on the Newton. :/
But anyway, I still have the same "it pie warm" problems with inkwell that I used to have with my Newton. I hate it, and think it sucks. Nuff said.
Insurance companies should do this!
You could sign up for a 2 year policy with Geico, and get a '89 Mercury station wagon, with external wood paneling, for only $300 bucks!
Damn, this thing is funny. :)
It should be called the "iCum" or something like that
Now, here's the important question.... Can it be controlled remotely over the internet?
Moore's Law was never intended to focus on Silicon semiconductors.
I've really really tried to use Ink. And I'm sorry, but it sucks. It's caused me the same problems it caused me when it was on the Newton.
Even if I write like an angel, it screws up my words and sentence spacing.
Moreover, I can honestly type a hell of a lot faster (50+ wpm) then I can handwrite or shorthand.

Unfortunatly, with a 20in LCD and a 1.25ghz G4 creative pros (ie. designers and artists) will buy these.
:(.
I still think we're going to see a lot of nice monitors in lad fills
Could this be the graviton string theorists are looking for?

Apple is typically fairly good about fixing problems users -hate-. I wouldn't be shocked to see updated firmware in a week or so.
