If you get apps from the app store how would this get installed? If Im about n about this would just pop up on my screen? I guess Im lost as to how it would get on my phone in the first place?
Did anyone RTFA? Per the author, "...but as with the previous generation of this Apple laptop, display quality is absolutely acceptable and usable for image assessment and simple Photoshop edits in the field, as long as you're aware of the display's particular blend of strengths and weaknesses." So clearly, the OP made the egregious decision to create this post just for the sake of flame bait.
Ok, so don't own it, but others feel, hence the purpose of this article/thread, if its protected, it must be compromised. I work in the "industry" and I still don't understand the sense of entitlement. Back when music was made on vinyl discs, there was one way to play it, on a record player. You could only watch film on a film projector. But since its digital, people feel like, screw it, Im not gonna buy it, movies and music suck anyway, it deserves to be downloaded on bit-torrent. Can the same thing be said for the work product so many concerned slashdotters create? Can it be arbitrarily dismissed and given away with no remuneration to you, just because some person believes the company should not charge for your work and protect your interest, and as a result you end up not being paid? Is it still okay then? Would you "work" for free?
So your economic circumstances are what has driven you to breaking the law? Sounds like a defense a rapper would use in court. The studios have made concessions like digital copy, but again, its a copy, the problem comes in when folks ask, well how many copies do you need? So you buy a book for Kindle on amazon, its electronic, you save it to CF, how many copies do you need? Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
So ok, no movie industry then, just buy books, oh, thats right, you dont buuy anything because all content should be free and all consumers should be able to get as much as they want and share as much as they want with no regard for the original content creator, yeah thats it, DMCA be damned!!!
Hmm, guess the dailykos, wonkette, huffington, oreilly, hannity, limbaugh, drudge, tmz, cnet, et al are bringing people the truth and honesty the traditional media is lacking. Blogging sites are built for one purpose and one purpose only, pushing for page traffic. You think the press wants Britney news? No but the dumb asses in the country fiend for it, so they have someone else to laugh at other than themselves, be careful what you wish for, we may be in a state of partial misinformation, but i'd prefer that to lies generated just for the basis of page hits.
If you bought something, activate it, and boom! (steve jobs anyone?!?) you're done. No annoyance! All this screaming about DRM could be easily read as, "I want access to tools and products that you made for free so that i can enjoy myself or make a living using your work because i have a high-speed internet connection and you charge for your products."
If most of us were content creators that did this for a living we'd probably look at the issue a lot differently. Full-time developers are not gonna dev for free, and the common tools in the industry arent available for free, neither are the laptops, workstations, and space in which we work. Red bull, caffeine, twinkies, venti latte's all cost money, and if the product isn't protected well where o where does this magical product come from?
When I use a system, I expect the source code to be fully accessible to me. I want to be able to inspect the quality of that system for myself, and fix it myself if the need arises. A system like FreeBSD is excellent in this regard, as are most Linux distributions...
Well thats a really arrogant stance isnt it? Do you demand to know the technical specifications of your televsion, radio, mp3 player, telephone, so you can inspect the quality for yourself (since you know what quality is) and have the abiity to modify them and fix it yourself? Unmount yourself from the sticking post, or how should i say this...get off your own dick. I know Linux fanboys like linux because it makes them feel smart, kinda like, those guys that swear of a gui because the command line is so much "easier since i know what im doing", or those guys that say, "reading the instructions is for losers, even though they could have resovled an issue in 30 seconds, rather than the 2 days it took to resolve the issue.
But the basic assumption that you are smarter or know whats best for a given OS and the app stack that it supports more than the team within the company that created the damn thing? yeah dude, log out of warcraft for a few hours and breath some fresh air.
this whole blogosphere hype is exactly that, hype, for the fact that these hollywood types think that internet bloggers get there crusty cheap bums off the chair for a minute to go see a movie shows they have it all twisted, the avg geek knows they wiull wait to dl the movie via torrent or usenet cuz paying for entertainment is so 20th century.
if you are a player in the markets you will know that several analysts wanted advanced produst from apple and as always they refused to discuss such things and they began sending earnings warnings out for Q3, saying ipods were late, and this and that, the stock took a hit based on analyst rumours, and people that fell for that sold which affected the price, it seems you have to make the major analysts happy by giving them what they want when they want it, or they hit you back. Now it seems that analysts are reporting that apple is going to release a movie component to itunes and an itunes based phone, funny, the same headlines appear on appleinsider and other rumour sites. so read the stock price of any company with a grain of salt, you want the real picture look at the quarterly reports and things like pe ratio, ebit, etc.
WHY? Why the hell do it? To prove you are smart? I got an idea put a lcd on my toaster with a built in jam spreader that runs linux so i can make pop tarts, watch HDnet, all while having my breakfast treats spread with my favorite jams and jellies, oh yeah and run top so i can view how much computing power is being used to complete these tasks.
Leave things alone. There was such a beauty to simplicity that people are missing. You know, a one function device that did one thing and did it really well, rather than a multi function device that does none of the 15 things it claims in a barely satisfactory manner. We have become such a make-do society where we are cool when shit breaks because "oh well we'll fix it in the next release", how about just making shit work right the 1st time, so i dont have to spend money to pay for some idiot company's mistake?
I'm no fan boy but to say that DVD Jon should be applauded is plain idiocy. Let's pretend you folks actually write software for a living. Active term here being for your living, your frigging livelihood. You the know, the way you can afford your internet connection and that cool overpriced silicon filled plastic box processing the bits you're reading this on, and some schmuck "hacks" your software, so that it can serve some purpose other than you intended in your original purpose for writing the software. All your work, your time, and possible profit that would enable you to mod your silicon filled plastic box and pay your isp for your internet connection now gone since some self absorbed dingle berry can feel smart to other hacker's around the world? You're your software is now being used whatever way people feel, not to mention, they are using it for free, since it was probably pushed out via torrent. Seems fair doesn't it?
Let's see, there's no detailed information out about this product as the base of it's operation, iTunes 4.6, has yet to be released, so how in the hell can you properly/fairly/honestly/objectively assess this things capabilities. thats right you cant, you are making assumptions. So how about you STFU until the thing comes out and then beat it to hell?

G4TechTV Announced
·
· Score: -1, Troll
Good damned riddance i say, tech tv was public access with a big budget at best, do you remember when morgan 1st was on xplay how shell shocked she was, the 1st 6 epsiodes or so just sucked donkey knuts, then there TSS and call for help, i cant imagine how many times, i have seen them give out out some long winded drivel filled answer to some simple question, really wild, but hey, i do like the bosoms on laura from unscrewed
im sorry homer, but isnt that why people love the ipod in the 1st place (The only edge Apple has now is design, UI, and integration with iTunes)? I mean take all that cool stuff away and you have a dell dj and all that other knock off crap.
actually yes i do and i still average 8-10 hours on my gen 1 5gb ipod, here's the secret to long battery life - the hold button. Turn on the hold button and let your music play, put in it shuffle mode if you want, but just let the damn thing play by itself uninterrupted and you'll see the battery life.
Thats some of the most inane drivel and corrupted logic i have ever read on this site.
So you're basically saying, ok yeah all the work you did securing the loan to make the movie, write scripts, design sets, etc., regardless of what it costs, be happy that you are getting something back right? That goes against the basis of the free economy. If an artist/inventor/average joe creates something, they have a right to be compensated to their work. Be it oxyclean, dd7, the pocketfisherman, or any other product/good/or server.
Let me bounce this idea off you. You go to college for 4 years, get an IT degree, venture into the marketplace and start a Software Design company. Your build custom software for folks, one day you get a client , lets say a skateboard shop, and the software you write for them helps them better manage parts inventory, made specifically for skateboard shops, this customer that has just paid you for work decides that they are going to give the software to all the other skateboard shops in the region, because ot's so great and hey you'll get your money back, because they'll buy it after they have already been using it. So know you have a software solution that nobody needs becuase they already have it...for free. Are you willing to accept the loss and move on, because hey, you already got your money? you sold one copy of the software to a skateshop you built it for and now the other 30 skateshops in the area have the software so you have no market.
To make matters more interesting, imagine you sold the skateboard software package for $1500 a pop, this piracy just cost you $45k! Sounds like a great idea...i'd want to stay in that business. the long and short of it is - having a pc and fast internet connection does not obligate you free intellectual property of any kind. Stop being leeches and contribute to the world instead of constantly taking, then..maybe then, the world will be a better place. just my $.02.
Wouldnt we be all upset and things? It sounds like, "hey we know what you are listening to and we'll go analyze that and give you more of the same". Please, humans based in western civiliations have become some of the laziest S.o.b's in the past 50 years, lets at least give us something to do for god's sake.
Why is that a Dell a company that makes and sells it's own PC makes buyers mail in a rebate? They are the only one selling their products, if i call or go to the web, i am dealing directly w/them, so why in gods name should i have to mail in a rebate? shouldnt it be instant? If a pc bundle is advertised by the "interns" as being for $899, then i call or visit the webiste and i learn the cost is more like $1099 (have to mail in a rebate yknow), thats damn near a bait and switch scheme. This same theory wouldnt apply for other products because the manufacturer offering the rebate is responsible for payment and that is not often transacted through the reseller. But Dell has no excuse, they are the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd party in this scam.
