I was there. I heard them. It will only be available for purchase via the app store. They did not say ***anything*** at all about bootable disks, whether/how you could burn one, whether there would be any kind of recovery disk available, and so on. You, like the OP, are extrapolating based on your own assumptions.
Yes they did. Watch the WWDC keynote again from Apple's keynote podcast. It is at the 35 minute mark and Phil Schiller says, "How are we going to get it? In the past, one thing that every version of Mac X has shared in common that it came on an optical disc. No more. (preso animation of a disc dissolving) Lion will only be available in the Mac App Store."
Um no they just have to be a newer HDD from the same manufacturer. It it was a Seagate, you replace it with another Seagate. If it was a WD, replace it with another WD. The Internet tells you exact what will and won't work.
This is not correct. Manufacturers have been making modified versions of their hard drives that first started appearing in the 2011 model iMacs. They are not the standard drives the manufacturers sell to the rest of the world.
Other World Computing has the full details in their blog posting.
I completely agree, until they can at least save the feature set. I use the facial recognition to help sort hundreds of photos at a time. I don't necessarily want to "share" recognition, but I still want it to organize my own photos.
Then you should just use iPhoto instead of uploading to a web site.
Irrelevant. Once a day the $10 clock I purchased at the drug store wirelessly synchronizes itself to the radio time signal (WWVB)
Funny you mention this as my clock with the same feature has started displaying the wrong time during this past week. Off by 90 minutes or so and resetting it doesn't help.
Since it doesn't support T-Mo's 3G bands, there's not much point to it unless you'll be doing a lot of international travel. If it's only going to be fully functional on AT&T, you may as well go for the contract, since you won't be saving any money on service.
The data plan will cost the same as buying it on a contract. Only TMobile gives a $10 discount. The govt should make this practice illegal like it's done in the EU.
T-Mobile's plans are much cheaper.
My current T-Mobile plan I'm have for my factory unlocked iPhone 3GS is $39.99 voice + $19.99 unlimited text & data.
It suggests to me they need a cheaper version of the iPhone (I think offering 3GS this long was the idea behind that) but also cheaper plans or just offering it unlocked, cheap, so I can have the carrier of my choice.
The Verizon/ATT duopoly doesn't want you to have any choice.
You could import an unlocked iPhone from Europe, but it would still only work on AT&T, because they are the only US phone company that use the same technology as the rest of the world.
It will work on T-Mobile. Granted it will only connect via EDGE, but ATT's 3G is mostly only as fast as EDGE anyway.:-)
I saw you leave a store once with a tub of vaseline and a box of rubber gloves. Now you claim you bought this stuff to dye your hair, but we all know what you really do in your spare time.
DoMy Wife's Macbook is first generation Intel hardware and it runs Snow Leopard just fine. There's been no indication that she won't be able to run Lion too.
If it is a "Core Duo" Mac, it will not run Lion.
Lion requires at minimum at "Core 2 Duo" to install.

An analysis was now underway to try to understand its origin.
A small planet called Krypton.
Why does anyone seem to care?
The enemy of my enemy...
65 Million ought to be enough for ANYBODY!!
I wonder how much that is after legal fees and taxes. 20-40% left afterwards?

When I measured my laptop's power consumption it was taking 25W at the wall; so turning off a light bulb would save more money.
I guess you aren't using fluorescent bulbs.
I'd say she should adopt a child. I think that this world is already overpopulated with humans as it is.
Agreed. I've never understood the need to waste resources on reproduction when there are so many unwanted children in the world looking for a home.
Mod parent up please.
How about choosing adoption?
I own a patent on anti-patent comment postings.
You'll be hearing from my lawyer.
Yes, but at a severe reduction in functionality since the iPhone can only operate as a 2G phone on T-Mobile's network.
There's nothing "severe" about it.
My iPhone 3GS gets 300kbs from T-Mobile's EDGE service which is a step up from my previous phone getting 40kbs GPRS.
Want to know if someone has been sneaking a peak at your iPhone 4?
Or don't leave you phone out lying around where anyone can grab it.
The government does NOT have the right to kill you. The death penalty is illegal within the European Union and considered a human rights violation.
How about when you are classified as a terrorist or enemy combatant?
I believe the AT&T iPhone supports the T-Mobile edge frequencies... just not the 3G frequencies.
So you can get a signal and make calls, but forget about doing anything data-related without WiFi unless you're really patient.
The same thing with the old Nexus One (in reverse) made for T-Mobile. You could put it on AT&T network but data was limited to edge.
My factory unlocked iPhone 3GS gets 300kbs from T-Mobile's EDGE service.
Nothing about that speed to be patient about. Especially compared to my previous phone which was GPRS only at 40kbs.

Go check what that costs you on ATT
It's not electronic-only. It's electronic additionally. They're still making DVDs for it. It's an OS after all...
The WWDC keynote specifically pointed out that there would NOT be a DVD.
It suggests to me they need a cheaper version of the iPhone (I think offering 3GS this long was the idea behind that) but also cheaper plans or just offering it unlocked, cheap, so I can have the carrier of my choice.

Is Tennessee that backwards?
Not only known for being backwards, but inbred as well.
