It is a retailer warranty. It only applies as Apple sells something directly to consumers. In other cases, other retailers have to get Apple to fix the stuff, but Apple isn't directly liable.
"Tacky that his first point is that Flash is proprietary, when Apple restricts the apps that can be installed on the phone. Pot, meet kettle." A bit unfair in the resume as Steve Jobs does address this point in the letter: "we strongly believe that all standards pertaining to the web should be open. Rather than use Flash, Apple has adopted HTML5, CSS and JavaScript – all open standards. " I, for one, do see the point of that and it has been mentioned here before that from the start iPhone, iPod touch en iPad web browser are not restricted. This follows the same logic I see with Google. Keep the internet as unrestricted as possible and that open pltform will bring the best things for the most users.
In this case I would like to say: put up or shut up. There is no way that there are any "Windows NLE's that rival FCP in features and undercut it in price". None, nada, nothing. If you sincerely believe this to be the case I would advise you to check the features of Final Cut Studio: http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/finalcutpro/ I think that a Windows package with features at par with Color alone would be a thousand dollar.
When 14 or so people were to be moved to adjacent building, it was my job (ITmanager) to make sure they had all there network services.
So I asked for wires to every room and one wireless spot in the middle, the DECT repeater in the hallway not far off was enough to get good reception in every room.
A week before they change places I checkt the new cables, new fiber to the spot, the wireless, it all works.
The day they move, I get scrambled calls about the wireless not working properly and the phones even worse.
What happened? The last day the creative head decided everybody needed one or more magneticly painted walls so they can hang work/memos/etc without having leaving little holes in the wall everytime.
So I needed a new DECTrepeater (and new cables from the PABX, which would have cost a little extra when the fiber was laid in place; but now costs as much for the work) and even now 3 rooms down the phone service isn't great, wireless in those rooms sucks.
Some have adopted the same strategy with respect to cyclists sharing the roads of inner cities with cars so cars would slow down instead of speeding when they've the whole road for themself. Cyclists as myself aklthough often feel -and I believe are- much safer on seperate bike lanes.
Afghanistan is no longer run by Islamic fascists, and it is no longer hiding/accomodating/sponsering terrorists. No, it's just producing more drugs then ever; isn't there a war on drugs in the USA? The US led the relief effort after the tsunami. No, they didn't; and the USA gave a lot less by capita or percent of GNP than many other countries.
I know it isn't ask slashdot; but does anybody here know how to put 1 Mythbox in one loaction and have it record,
sync/copy/backup the HD and put in an another Mythbox for viewing (the two are not connected in any way) ?
I tried several FAQs and forums and I reaaly don't seem to find an answer.

No, but if you have ever been to the Apple Expo in Paris, you'd find 1/2 of all the booths are for intended for the frenchspeaking general public of Paris
(and France).
Workshops most of the time are in English, but some are in French.
Oh and the organistion is also a la francaise (not that good;-))
It's still sad that the European headquarters moved from Brussels to Paris.
Now the (european) Apple expo is held in Paris and is therefor deeply french, which leads to the UK and the Netherlands (and maybe others, I don't know) having their own unofficial apple expo's. Having stayed in Brussels, maybe the expo could have been held there and be truly European.
No, I don't. I think several of his points in his original text are wrong.
I don't think it's wrong no to open things in the trash (otherwise some users will misuse the trash even more).
Also I don't mind waiting for the trash to empty or for stuff to move to the trash
(but that's probably because it's been like that all along and it's a stage where you can still get an error (file in use, no permission))
Exposing the package items when copying I think reveals to the user that an application is made of several items,
I doesn't hurt the user to know that.
poll in association with Microsoft.
Imagine some bobo from MS handing over the prize to the guy from NoSoftwarePatents.
(I know the organisation would let it come to that, but Microsoft would still be on all the promo material, press releases,...)
"Being a busy guy, he also had the habit of parking in the nearest empty parking spot to the entrance, which almost inevitably was one of a places reserved for handicapped drivers."
I heard/read that story too but with a bit more information on why he did. As he had "pirated" the mac group, previously not believing in it, there was a lot of resentment from outside (because he now favored mac project) and inside (some didn't want him as their boss), even so that some scratched his car.
So he parked in full view in front.
No, Charlie McCreevy declared that the Scandinavian social model's collective bargaining offends EU rules on free movement of workers.
I'm happy that EU commissioners that try to undermine the solidarity between workers get called out.
No, if you RTFA he called the other guy a loose cannon because
"Charlie McCreevy enraged the European Parliament's 219-strong Socialist Group by declaring that the Scandinavian social model's collective bargaining offends EU rules on free movement of workers."
" For your mp3 player, there are several options, with Yahoo the best of all. If you're an iPod owner....then you're stuck with iTunes" Because we all know that the iPod isn't a mp3player, don't we? The iTunes (program) - iTunes Music Store (the store) confusion should be a clue to the cluelessness the review has.
Won't someone please think of the children!
Anyway it's a gruelling sight if you can't afford one, but an interesting experiment if you think about getting one (or get one for free).
One of the reasons eBay has is that they can use Skype to let buyers and sellers talk to each other; but my eBay name and Skype name aren't the same. If some contacts buyer/seller through Skype with eBay screenname as Skype name, they're is going to be some
potential for social engineering.
OT, but still;
" It's a bit like the CIA funding the mujahadeen to fight the soviets, it probably cost them $1 to inflict $10,000 worth of damage onto the soviet economy." That strategy did backfire upon the USA and did much more harm in the end.

Yes, but not without our 2 lovely Flemish girls: Anne-Marie and Veronique.
Although Laura isn't half bad either.
