Nokia has floundered in the smart phone market for 14 years and couldn't get it right. The last four years of those 14 Nokia was up against Apple and couldn't get it right. Now since the smart phone market is where the growth is at, Nokia needs to get it right or become irrelevant except in the bottom end of the phone market where the profit per unit is really tiny.
You might want to check your dates, Nokia released the first smartphone in nine years ago. Where did you get 14 years from?
The 7650 was released in it supported multitasking, it had a camera, it took video, it supported 3rd party apps, it supported MMS, and custom ring tones, bluetooth file transfer. Apple stuggle to support any of those when they released a phone.

Are you just making this up as you go along? The lid on the 13" MBA is no thicker than the 11" AND it has thinner bezels. I also fail to see how thinner bezels would have any effect on the keyboard size or the number of USB ports.
From a mechanical strength standpoint, the wider bezel may be necessary. It would be a nightmare for Apple to release such a thin laptop screen if users had to worry about it cracking under normal use. With time, new thin screens may be developed that need less support.
I can't imagine Apple would have made the bezel any bigger than necessary. Maybe with the SB or IB release they will expand the screen sizes (with smaller bezels). That is my hope! That would call for an immediate upgrade from my standpoint. :)

I really like the ads, and in all honesty, Apple has a tendency to use a theme for a long time..

Phil Schiller is a terrible presenter, perhaps he's a nice bloke.
Watching it in the UK at around 11.30pm last night, it quit out after about half an hour, and the quality was a little choppy before then.
Why did they decide to present the MacPro before the OSX leopard stuff? Maybe cos they didn't want to wheel Phil Schiller on at the end?
With regards to Jobs looking ill, lets face it, he works hard, and he's knocking on a bit now. Must have been a pretty hectic period shifting over to a different chip.

Well I'm a pro user and i welcome the new FCP and it's price.
I have a decent budget since I work for a corporation.
If I lost my job or decided to go on my own, $299 would make it easier to deal with than a seat with Avid.
Ive had the luxury of having full support with Avid since 2001 plus Digidesign and Autodesk/Alias Maya totaling at roughly 6k per year.
If anyone thinks that Apple is dropping the price to get out of the pro biz then maybe it's time to try something else.

I'm pretty sure you don't live here... every illegal immigrant that enters England pretty much gets to stay 90% of the time. My tax money goes to housing them, giving them a car, and whatever else they desire.
It's misguided Daily Mail-esque rubbish like this that will eventually lead to a bunch of extreme right wings (BNP) assuming power. That's when this country is screwed.
Although fair's fair, you're not racist, just wrong.

It doesn't matter if this really isn't a security threat. Once it hits the 24 hour cable news networks and is recycled every 10 minutes as a story, Apple's reputation has been tarnished. To stop that Apple should come out with a FREE patch as soon as possible so that Apple's reaction will be added to the news story. It's not about security; it's about publicity.
Well, it hit CNN yesterday and will probably ripple across the other cable networks this weekend. The question is whether anyone except rabid Apple fans or haters will remember this story past Monday. I'm guessing that's what Apple's PR people are trying to figure out this afternoon.
Do they admit that they made a mistake and release a patch?
Do they rebut the story by pointing out the absurdity of trying to track someone every 60 feet?
Do they just ignore the story and hope that people (and the media) forget about it by Monday?
It'll be interesting to see how they decide to react.

Agree! I love the New Yorker but the digital edition on the iPad should be free with my subscription.
For what it is worth, it's my understanding you can technically get a digital version of the New Yorker, it is just the extra features of the iPad app that cost extra. I just looked into this myself with the New Yorker. While I haven't started it yet, the digital version looks like a digital copy of the print version while the iPad app brings interactive videos, expansion on stories, etc.

Currently, 45% of the electrical power generated in the U.S. is produced by burning coal.
Perhaps, but do you think it'll stay this way? Electricity can be generated cleanly. I don't see why we need to put a stopper on progress elsewhere just because we have more work to do in how we generate electricity.

when something is wrong the genius bar replace the phone on the spot. does best buy do that?
That's not entirely true. While you will often times find an Apple genius who is willing to do that, (I've seen it many times myself), the Apple warranty agreement reads...
This warranty does not apply: (b) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, flood, fire, earthquake or other external causes.http://images.apple.com/legal/warranty/docs/iphone.pdf
BestBuy's warranty is pretty much a service/replacement plan. Meaning we will first try to "rapid exchange" the phone for you. As soon as GeekSquad checks the phone into the system, a request is generated to send a new or re-manufactured iPhone from our nearest repair center to the BestBuy store you request. This process normally takes about 2-3 days. When that happens if fulfills the service portion of your warranty contract.
If our repair center is out of new or re-manufactured iPhones then the system alerts that GeekSquad agent and then will send you to customer service to exchange your broken phone for a new one.
I normally recommend people purchase BestBuy warranties on Apple products that are capable of having the ADH warranty on them. Which are Laptops, and iPhones. Reason being, if you drop it, it's definitely covered. And you can still take it to any Apple service center to get repairs made as long as you're still within your Apple care warranty.
If you get an iPhone from BestBuy and you're still within your Applecare warranty or you find a polite Apple genius, then nothing is stopping you from trying to get a damaged iPhone exchanged. The only real difference is that BestBuy explicitly guaranties that it will either be repaired or replaced, whereas Apple says they will not repair/replace it, but normally make concessions.

Well, I am 18, so I can't drink, so no bar hopping for me. I am up for anything within 2-3 blocks to meet up for lunch. It would be silly for me to eat all alone with other MR people lurking around. Maybe we should all wear bow ties or something!
In addition, did yall get anything back in the mail yet from them? Are we supposed too?

My feed has been stuck on the QT logo for over 20 mins now. Is it completely dead for other people too?
Yes. But I've been having streaming trouble for a couple months now.

The front of the white iphone looks neat. The back is rather hideous.
Perhaps they should make it white on one side and black on the other.
Then again people wil argue which side should be white and which should be black.

The smaller microbreweries are better than the big ones. I'll take Boulevard or Schlafly (or Spotted Cow when I can get my hands on it, which isn't often enough) over Budweiser or Coors any day, and I'd take toilet water over Natty Light.
I assume you are enjoying a New Glarus Spotted Cow while visiting Wisconsin. It is difficult to find outside their border because they don't distribute out of Wisconsin. I like Spotted Cow but New Glarus also offers some other quite tasty brews as well.
I had my first New Glarus brew when I started doing annual trisp to Road America to see the AMA Superbike races. However, I now live near the Sconi border and it's an easy trip to get it.
I always drink, what I consider good beer IMO, but when micro is not available and I have to drink a macro beer, I usually go for a Grain Belt Primo.

I have a feeling that the bottom line with this stuff is, a "big player" (or two or three) will have to simply start allowing people to place and stream their music content on the servers and duke it out in court with any of the record labels who protest, after the fact. The record labels are as greedy as ever, and surely WANT to try to retain as much control over usage of the music as possible.
If you can imagine a new way to deliver or re-use the content, they want to find some way to get paid for it.
I don't think they'd win in a court of law, personally -- and maybe Amazon simply doesn't think so either? But until a ruling is made, it's probably still one of those "unknowns" where depending on which side you're on, you claim permission is or isn't needed to do it.
To be fair, there are probably some complications here too, because like it or not, it's a symbiotic relationship between the record labels and the digital music sellers out there. (EG. If someone like Apple says, "Screw you! Nothing in our legal agreement for selling your digital music says we can't let paying customers stream it!" -- then the labels can say, "Ok, fine... We'll make sure that's changed when your contract is up for renewal, and since you're making money off doing it without our permission NOW? We'll either pull your rights to sell the content when the current deal expires, or we'll charge so much for the privilege to stream, you're compensating us for all the unpaid streaming your users did before we made the change!")
But doesn't Amazon do this already - without the music labels permission?

Reading that story, and this thread, it's easy to see why police probably want nothing to do with any domestic dispute. I genuinely pity them! :)
The number of cops killed, during one of these "domestic" calls, used to be frightful.
They know better now.
