Perhaps the nation as a whole should put more effort into recycling e-waste and less into the more inefficient plastics and glass, since heavy metals can cause big problems if not taken care of properly. I've also heard that the only thing proven to be efficient to recycle (in terms of energy) would be aluminum (link). Since the other ones probably don't even save us energy, why not put more efforts into something that may save us in the future? All the other recycling is probably done just for politicians to cozy up to environmentalists.
Google also is planning to venture into audio ads (radio) I recently heard that Google has purchased a company of some sorts that makes radio broadcasting hardware, and is planning to integrate their ad bidding model into radio ads. I wonder how they'll moderate video and audio ads for content, to ensure that there won't be inappropriate content.
Apple should implement the autofill feature for the nano also. Many have music collections of more than what a nano can hold, and not everyone knows how to create and use a Smart playlist to do that. I know of many friends in such a situation, and didn't want a Shuffle because there is no screen.
Heh, imagine installing a new security update every two hours and rebooting. Then, half an hour after the booting process finishes, installing another security patch, continuing the cycle.
See, on Windows, if security improves, productivity drops exponentially.
There was also a similar article in SciAm on suspended animation.
The interesting thing in the articles was that when oxygen supply drops, cells would still try to metabolize, up until a certain oxygen concentration, then cells will begin going into a dormant state, and preserve itself.
By draining the blood and replacing it with other substances would instantly cut the oxygen supply to the required level for cell dormancy, and allow the cells to be preserved.
Now that Adobe will be owning flash, maybe they'll make the Flash player on Mac be as fast as what it is on Windows? I'm just getting sick of the slow flash animations on my Macintosh.
I think by limiting who can get access, it can get rid of many issues like hackers using the open network, and allow the state to worry less in terms of liability because of offering internet access.
And, I still can't see why it's unconstitutional. It's like if I don't punch you at your request, I'm limiting your rights as a US citizen.
They listed OS 10.4 in the system requirements. Hopefully all the apps take advantage of all the CoreImage, CoreVideo, and the rest of the new Core features, since, correct me if I'm wrong, Tiger has gone gold, and Apple internally should've had access to all the best and newest.
I personally would love to see those already implemented when I make my purchase so I wouldn't have to get an update right after I install the new OS and apps.
All of you are LIARS!!!
The internet is perfectly safe. There is no pr0n, there are no hackers, and no pedophiles. AOL is using false advertising saying the internet is dangerous and only they can protect you from nothingness.
The "higher" price makes sense when you add in the cuteness/coolness factor, and especially the bundled software.
How much would it cost to get something comparable to iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, and GarageBand? I'd say it'll cost something maybe upwards to $100. Maybe someone will do the search for it. Another beautiful thing about the whole iLife suite is the integration. You just do something in one app, then finish it up or use it in the other. For example, finish editing a movie in iMovie, then make a DVD with nice looking menus in iDVD, then burn onto DVD and distribute.
And how can you ignore the coolness/cuteness factor!!!??!!
Disclaimer: I use an iBook G4, and am loving it.
Hey, look!!! Give them our credit card numbers and store them in the Soviet Union!!! Hey, why not also your SSN and throw in some extra free iTunes bottle caps on the way!
use paypal *hint* *hint*
Maybe the whole encyclopedia can be installed onto the hard drive, so the user can just choose to update topics as they view them, and also updates when they search for the topic.
And such a system can be used online and offline.
Oh, and they can also throw in local editing and uploading your updates.
I switched 10 months ago, and find most of these points true.
Safari, Firefox, and almost every other browser on the planet is now vulnerable to this pop-under that uses Flash to run a script.
There are many apps written for Mac OS X that are just fabulous, and all the developers not on a Mac platform I know drool over this stuff. For example, SubEthaEdit is something that is perfect for shared projects that are text based (coding/programming). Also, the beautiful interface + the powerful UNIX backbone. Even though I myself have no experience with Obj-C/Cocoa, I heard that it is very pleasant to work with.
Also, the integration of all the bundled iApps is just amazing (iChat/AddressBook/iCal/iPhoto/iEtc). I grab email addresses from the AddBook to Mail. I can view all the phone numbers and addresses through various quick-launch programs without opening Address Book. When making movies in iMovie, I have access to all the media in iPhoto and iTunes.
Above are just two examples why I personally love Mac OS X. IMO, it is the best thing since my discovery of OSS.
P.S. I haven't had a single crash throughout my Mac experience.
I agree, but only partially.
Remember, Jobs was the one with the vision of the computer for the masses. And he revived Apple after he came back. He is also why all us Mac loyalists watch the Stevenotes. I mean, have you ever tried to go through one of those Microsoft presentations? It is just unbearably boring. Steve Jobs is what makes Apple different. To me, he is the soul of Apple Computers.

And look at how that is going these days. Microsoft is still thriving, while people are getting hyped about WinXP SP3.
for the teenagers that "hack" HTML, webpages that take eons to load, and endless IE-viewable pages. What a great innovation, Microsoft.

But then where is the pretty Apple logo? One can't be hip without the Apple logo...
oh, and also bind one where Firefox opens /. to expoentially increase your productivity!
