I did what you said and there were no relevant results found for either jogging [apple.com] or jugging [apple.com].
Funny. My search of the discussions in the Apple iPod support area yielded 85 results for "Jogging," mostly from people complaining about skipping, resetting, or freezing. One was complaining that it skipped even when they were running on a treadmill.
What sort of "proof" do you think somebody needs to suggest that if you need longer batter life than the iPod offers, you might want to consider a device with longer battery life?
Well, I routinely get 5 to 6 hours on my iPod and that is plenty for me. I have never had to have more battery life even on cross country plane flights or drives.....What is his point?
His point, as quite clearly stated, is that if you do routinely go on trips longer than 5 or 6 hours, you might want to consider a player with longer battery life than that. What is so hard to understand about that?
Yet, that's the only way to get huge capacities at a somewhat affordable price. If they had gigs of flash media, they'd be too expensive for most people. It's a trade-off, not a defect.
Which is essentially what the article says--far from being about iPod "defects," it merely points out there are certain people and uses for which these trade-offs favor another type of player, despite the acknowledged virtues of the iPod.
Both Pepsi and McDonald's are paying Apple's retail price of 99 cents per song, sources say.... But because not all customers will take advantage of the offer
They could save even more money by being selective about which albums they offer to whom. If you are under 20, you can choose between Frank Sinatra and Lawrence Welk. Over 50, and your choices are Sex Pistols and Fifty Cent.
there are still plenty of examples of bad statistical graphics to be found in the mainstream media. Here's just one example from the Seattle Times this year
Actually, when talking about distribution of the tax burden among income classes, it is perfectly reasonable to compare the "top 5%" to the "top 1%" as in the Seattle Times graph, even though the latter is a subset of the former. The complainant seems to be confusing the bar graph with a pie chart, where the slices have to be exclusive and the percentages have to add up to 100%.
I am not sure what speed of G5 the XBox 2 will contain but it wouldn't be fast enough to provide a 733 Mhz x86 in emulation. IBM is already talking about stripping down the CPU, removing some of the cache, etc.
Probably not. Of course, if Microsoft is serious about backwards compatibility, they'll go for hardware emulation, and include a 733 Mhz x86 in the box along with the G5.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but just because they buy the CD and encode it, doesn't mean they have the license rights to "broadcast" it over their network. Maybe I'm missing something here.
MIT already has broadcast rights, bought and paid for. They've been broadcasting music from their campus radio station for years. The problem seems to be that the company that sold them the digital versions did not have the right to do so. But it sounds like MIT could simply buy the physical CDs and rip them.
I bought 10.2 server to run on a new G5 only to find that it can't run the software. I was forced to use on a beige G3. Then, an update kill that computer.
I've got a beige G3 running 10.2.8 just fine. Of course, it is stock, without any third party upgrades. But if 10.2.8 doesn't work for you, you can always go back to 10.2.7. I think the only serious concern is the SSH fix, which is available from open source.
The interesting thing is that so many people are so desperate to hear something negative about Apple that they eagerly accepted an unsubstantiated report that was ridiculous on its face. After all, Apple has continued to support earlier versions of OSX long after they were supplanted by new versions. And they were clearly working on a 10.2.8 upgrade almost up to the day of release for Panther.
I was dissapointed when two thirds of the way through the book ended (it was a small paer back to start with) the last third was notes etc
I had the opposite reaction--the real meat of the book was in the notes. Personally, I could have done without the "advice to the lovelorn" hook, which seemed awkward and contrived. But perhaps that is justified if it helps the book find a wider audience. One thing good about that is that the book dispells a lot of commonly held false notions about what is "natural" when it comes to sexual behavior. The ultimate message of the book is that virtually everything we humans do is pretty vanilla when compared to the wide range of sexual behavior one sees in nature.
My business faces ruin. CD sales have dropped through the floor. People aren't buying half as many CDs as they did just a year ago.
I'm buying more CDs than I was a year ago. But I'm not buying them from stores, I'm buying them through Amazon.com or half.com, mostly used. CDs I'd never consider at new prices, I'll readily buy used. Most stores focus on selling expensive new CDs, and the used titles are stuffed halfhazard into a bin in a corner.
The fix is as follows:
1) Go to "Sharing Preferences"
2) Verify that the box labeled "Allow Remote Login" is unchecked (which is the default).
3) Close "Sharing Preferences."
That should be adequate for virtually all users of 10.1. The rare 10.1 users who actually need SSH enabled are probably sophisticated enough to apply the open source patch.
actually, apple has been releasing 10.1 security patches all through the 10.2 lifespan. In addition they have been patching Mac OS 9 as well. This would truly be a change of attitude if it is true, but I imagine there will be enough hue and cry to fix it.
It's illustrative of how anxious people are to find something negative about Apple (Mac envy?) that they seize upon this unofficial report as some kind of evidence that Apple is abandoning 10.2. Let's use a bit of common sense. If Apple was really planning to abandon updating of 10.2 to encourage people to move to 10.3, would they really have been wasting time working on a 10.2.8 update scheduled to come out just before Panther? Right at the moment, none of these issues seems like a particularly grave threat, so Apple may just roll the fixes into 10.2.9 instead of issuing a security patch.
The Beige G3 is a 6 year old computer. Think about that for a minute...
Yeah, but it's a 6 year old Mac. In the past, Mac's have frequently remained in service for a decade or so. The Beige G3's still work quite well for light duty under Jaguar.
Since Core files are disabled by default, it seems like all Apple is really obliged to do is to tell users, "for a secure system, you should not enable Core Files."
I do think the DMG/applications problem needs to be fixed, but it seems like it shouldn't be that hard. Might even just be extending the "Repair Permissions" functionality to cover 3rd party applications.
The buffer overflow is potentially the most serious, and needs to be fixed, but at this point it is just theoretical. Somebody would need to work out an exploit for it to be a real hazard.
I'd be surprised if these don't get patched eventually, but I'm not surprised if the just-released Panther is currently Apple's first priority.
Yes, I can see how the disclosure of this confidential information will cause the destruction of the company.
The guys who make decisions on matters like this probably aren't qualified or authorized to make judgements as to whether or not what he showed or wrote poses an actual danger to the company. Chances are that there was an agreement that he signed, and it boiled down to a simple question: "Was he in violation of the letter of that agreement?"
You might find it interesting to do a PubMed search with the key words "MDMA" and "liver failure". One report found Ecstacy to be the most common cause of liver failure in people under 25.
cohol is the only drug you can be addicted to that can kill you when you try to quit.
Well, barbiturates. And while heroin withdrawal is more unpleasant than dangerous in a healthy adult, it can be risky in a newborn or in somebody with other health problems.
Heroin abuse is associated with serious health conditions, including fatal overdose, spontaneous abortion, collapsed veins, and infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis.
However, most of these are more properly regarded as dangers of heroin prohibition. Spontaneous abortion is mainly associated with withdrawal. Fatal overdose is mainly a consequence of street drugs of unknown purity. Collapsed veins and infectious diseases are consequences of unavailability of pure sterile drugs and legal needles.
I can't remember the last time I heard of anyone dying from a fatal overdose of nicotine
It happens, although it's mainly the children of smokers. Nicotine is a highly toxic drug, and fully as lethal as heroin in overdose; its probable role in the plant is as an insecticide. It's hard to overdose by smoking, because dosage is consistent and much of the nicotine is burned up. However, there is enough nicotine in many tobacco products to kill a child if eaten.
To make things a bit clearer, no features were "dropped" when Mac OS X. They simply didn't exist because it's an entirely different OS than Mac OS 9.
This is hair-splitting. To the end user, the "Mac OS" is the operating system that ships with a Macintosh, and the details of its internal architecture are (and ought to be) irrelevant.
It's all nice and well till the technology takes off and soon they'll find the nice hole in the licensing that allows them to do it gets shut off
However, this may pose a political problem. RIAA's argument is that they are not trying to retract existing privileges, such as recording music off the radio. Rather, they argue, the ability of digital technology to make "perfect" copies is a unique threat that must be combatted with restrictions specifically directed to the digital format. So to go after MIT, they basically have to admit that this argument is basically a load of crap, and that they are trying to impose new restrictions on what people can do with broadcast music. Of course, the reality is that nobody but a minority of audiophiles cares about "perfect" copies, and they aren't interested in trading compressed formats like mp3, anyway. The MIT initiative offers what the average student really wants--the ability to select the music they want.

If six hours isn't enough, take an airline power adapter with you and plug it in.
I have yet to be on a flight with seat power adapter hook-ups. The airlines seem to be adding this uprgrade rather slowly.

Rip all my CDs and then burn them back onto CDRs...
Which is discussed more completly in the article that you obviously didn't read.

I am not aware of any Apple supported upgrades for the beige G3. An Apple part does not necessarily make it a supported upgrade.
