Apple removed the old 160 GB classic because they didn't want to have a dual platter iPod anymore. It was expensive for them to make two models, especially given the declining popularity of the classic. As hard drive capacity has increased, a 160 GB single platter iPod is now possible.
The new feature is that you will be able to copy the songs within iTunes. The 5 computer limit is probably because Apple don't want to piss off the industry.
It seems fairly obvious that that will happen. I don't think Apple likes keeping an ancient piece of 32 bit only code hanging around any more than the end users do. Especially since they rely heavily on Quicktime in Final Cut.
Don't worry. Apple had to do a complete overhaul of Quicktime at some point, given that it is almost 20 years old. Although it's missing features at this point, they'll return. The biggest user of Quicktime on the Mac is Apple themselves, in Final Cut. That gives them a big incentive to get Quicktime X up to Quicktime 7 standards.
There is no replacement for all of Photoshop's functions, but the majority of the functions normal people use can be found in Pixelmator or Acorn. For added points, Acorn has a Python powered plugin interface.
I think that any UI code would require extensive rewriting to work on the Kindle. Remember, on an EInk screen, the whole display must be cleared and redrawn to change any part of it.
No, the government is the party in parliament with the most seats. And we elect the people in the seats. It's not a perfect system, but to compare it to Iran is dangerous and ignorant.
I'm sure that's a wonderful book, but the fact that 5% of people looking at it on Amazon go on to buy 'Glenn Beck's Common Sense: The Case Against an Out-of-Control Government, Inspired by Thomas Paine' gives me some pause for thought.
Well, the second two are hallmarks of being a good scientist
No, good scientists actually read research rather than basing their opinion of it on a paragraph summary written by an only partially competent Slashdot editor. And they accept that they probably shouldn't comment on research outside their area of expertise.
And rather than screaming 'correlation is not causation' they have an actual understanding of statistics, and appreciate that there is more to it than a one liner. And they realise that the people that did the research are quite clever, so they probably did some tests on their results to check that they are valid.

Except that it's nothing like AudioSurf.
Did you even read my fucking post? If not why are you replying to it?
The announcement tag comes from the category that the story is placed in. It is not a user generated tag. The astroturf tag is user generated.

Supposedly, the new touch should have had a camera in, but it was delayed because of technical issues with the camera module.
I'm curious, what about the iPod touch's hardware do you consider 'lackluster'?

The poster I was replying implied that there had been a case in the UK. I can't see such a case in the results of that search.

The issue of learning the language doesn't seem to have held back iPhone development.
Objective-C is not equivalent to Cocoa. Cocoa is a set of frameworks written in Obj-C and primarily used by Obj-C programs.
OK, here you go.
But refreshing the screen takes over a second on a Kindle. You can't just keep redrawing things without irritating the user.
You mean like this?
There is no replacement for all of Photoshop's functions, but the majority of the functions normal people use can be found in Pixelmator or Acorn. For added points, Acorn has a Python powered plugin interface.
By most monitors and TVs you mean, most monitors and TVs 5 years ago.
Wait, so if I'd got the PC equivalent of my Mac mini, they'd also have given me £100?

He probably doesn't want to draw attention. If the data connection is abused then Amazon may try and block people from installing Linux.

No shit, because we don't elect the Prime Minister. We elect the government.
