I don't get why everyone is complaining about the icon in the dock, all they changed was the color of the eighth note.:rolleyes: It wasn't that big a deal.
That's not true. Unlike the last couple revisions to the icon, the look as a whole also changed. The CD/DVD is different, the lighting is different, etc. I do prefer the old icon.
That said, I think this new version of iTunes is amazing! Who really cares if the icon is not my favorite? The features are fantastic! And I like the look of the actual interface a lot.
I get excited about updates like this because they are free! Computer updates are great, but I can only afford one every few years. iTunes I use everyday, and it's free.:D

The moral of the story is that to hack OS X you have to focus your effort on the closed-source software that's in there.
Everybody thinks Macs are safe because Darwin is open source, tried and tested. But we forget about all the closed-source software that is running with elevated privileges.
Or the hardware exploits... Been down hill since Intel... X86 hardware exploits likely on the way

Does anyone else find it strange/ridiculous that AirPort Express and Bluetooth come standard on every system except the high end Mac Pro?No I find that personally reasonable. How often are you going to be moving around your desktop? Many companies would not allow them in the building with those features. The upgrade price is reasonable.

When did we stop doing sane things in this country?
Wait a second, I was able to easily invest heavily in the future and still fix the budget problems, all while only cutting the military spending by around 25%. I had enough of a surplus, that I could have gone back and cut even less if needed, but would prefer to invest in US infrastructure and manufacturing capacity. Which, coincidentally, would be more important should the military need to rapidly grow than a few fancy trinkets (F22s, helicopters, etc...)

I have 3 USB 1 ports and 2 FireWire ports. Does that mean if I buy a new 8Gb Nano, it won't work with my system? :(
All iMac G5s have USB 2.0 - you're either mistaken or quoting your machine incorrectly.

Apple won't sell a suite (there are no suites in the App Store). Look at iWork - just individual apps for purchase. They'll probably charge $299 for FCP and $99/each for the other apps, or have it all rolled up into Final Cut Pro.
I just wonder if there is any upgrade pricing strategy. No matter what - $299 is A STEAL!

Except to get in on the September iPod refresh timeframe. Read this. (http://daringfireball.net/2011/02/the_next_six_months)
I have read that. But sorry, they aren't losing iPad holiday sales due to the iPad x+1 coming the next spring. Most people aren't that in tune, and when they get xmas gifts, they're happy to have a $500-700 gift, they're not worried that it will upgraded in a few months. The display doubling is not realistic nor is it necessary for 2011. Apple has already jumped ahead of the Android market with the iPad 2 and will keep a comfy lead this year. Look at how hard it is to get one. They haven't even been able to ship internationally yet. And they are still weeks out on US orders. They won't be coming out with a Pro, HD 2.5 or 3.0 iPad this year.
Having an April release cycle make fine sense for them.

Beatles are not my generation so I don't know a lot about them..but weren't they into free spirits and happiness and what not? Why are they all about suing and being greedy now?
Edit: which of them are even alive anymore to profit? Or is this the doing of their heirs?
"Paul and Bingo are still alive. John and Keith are dead." :)
They're "suing and being greedy" because they earned it. Their songs and likenesses are valuable, and they are entitled to revenues gained from them.

Please forgive me - but I'm confused. I have the verizon iPhone. I love it (I tell people - "What's not to love!".)
I think I'm disappointed that 4.3 (and 4.3.1) are not available for my iPhone - but does 4.2.6 contain the enhancements (quicker safari, etc.) that are in 4.3, or when they get around to releasing it for Verizon, I will get better performance.
Thanks!

Why such a great camera on the iphone and such loser ones on the ipad?
Here we go again with the pixel complaints.
The ipad or for that matter iphone is NOT a camera.
If you want to take pictures of professional quality, buy a stand alone camera that does that.
Higher quality of anything initially costs more, until what was once high becomes the standard due to mass production.
It initially costs more, because production output is less, flaws needs to be ironed out, the production process refined etc.
How difficult is that to understand?.

I'm really tempted to get this and go play it on my friends Xbox 360. I keep hearing a bunch of good things about. Some say it is even better than Halo 1. I wont know this till I try it as Halo 1 is my favorite out of the three but who knows, I might be very surprised!
It is kind of hard to compare the two. Halo 1 was amazing for what it brought to the console gaming world. It was a fun world to explore and experience, along with being a very competent shooter. Reach is an amazing game, for other reasons. The new motion-capture for characters and cutscenes really works well, and makes them feel much more human than before. The facial animation, specifically, is excellent, and you get so much emotion and nuance in the cutscenes that Halo games could never do. But beyond all that, it is a very well paced game, with a great story, fun and varied gameplay, and tons of action. It 10+ years of "Halo" refined and condensed into one single experience, and is a very exciting ride.
After all is said and done, I would rank them like this....
1 - ODST
2 - Halo: CE
3 - Reach
4 - Halo 3
5 - Halo 2
....but there is a large gap between 3 and 4. I like Halo 2 and 3, but in my opinion, those other 3 games are miles better, not only from a story standpoint, but the gameplay as well. But on a whole, I've been very happy with the Halo series. Lots of ups and downs in the series and the stories within, but it has been blast playing through them.

This is kinda creepy. It's good they're trying to fix the problem, but it sucks that there is a problem. I work in an elementary school as its computer tech and the district is going to give me & the techs @ the other schools in the district a MacBook to administer tests and stuff. If someone hacked into my MacBook, they can get a lot of info on both all the kids as well as the faculty. :eek:

Of course the banner has no new images on it. Why would it? That would spoil the keynote! And of course it has the Leopard DVD, everyone knows there will be a preview.
And as for all those people saying that there won't be any new consumer products at the keynote... wasn't the iSight announced at a WWDC?
I'm a DEVELOPER and I want a speed bumped iMac, dammit! Not all devs are rich.

Yeah I know people who hacked Tiger and hacked Vista too, but most people will buy the OS. You don't make billions if no one is buying your product.
People wont bundle Vista with their products if MS will price the resellers with the same price points. Then, who'll buy Vista if not bundle buyers?

Or only has one eye ;)
Thanks for getting it. :) No, I have 2 eyes but I have an eye condition known as Duane's syndrome. My eyes aren't perfectly aligned with each other so my brain doesn't process both images together as a 3D image. Basically my brain only processes the image out of one eye at a time (usually my right eye unless I tell it otherwise)

Just because some are successful does not mean all can be. There is plenty of racism still around in most countries, and yes it does effect the less off more than those that are well off.
This is a bogus excuse. Racism goes both ways.
Because Blacks are not all the same. You cant lump people of one race all in one group and expect them to all to have the same results. There is a history in the US of racism that still effects many black Americans. Many black Americans can't afford to go to college for example. Poverty is a vicious cycle that preys on its self.
I know for a fact, if someone tries hard and gets decent grades, they can go to college in the US. I also know a person can pull them self out of poverty, with out college.
Poverty - look up computer ownership by race. Look up access to books, education, nutritional information etc by race.
Schools, churches, and libraries all have computers and books. There are several nutritional programs for the poor. most of the time they are abused, and it is spent on garbage, or sold for $.50 on the dollar.
