My favorite part:
Microsoft has announced its new iPod competitor, Zune. It says that this device is all about building communities. Are you worried?
In a word, no. I've seen the demonstrations on the Internet about how you can find another person using a Zune and give them a song they can play three times. It takes forever. By the time you've gone through all that, the girl's got up and left! You're much better off to take one of your earbuds out and put it in her ear. Then you're connected with about two feet of headphone cable.

Heh, yeah. I especially love all the posts about how it was a huge mistake for Apple to get into the mp3 player market (that the iPod would die a quick death and be a colossal failure).
I think that is the problem when we buy so much into the speculation and hype - Apple releases something that, on the surface, is boring (i.e. "WTF?!?!?!? It's just an MP3 player and not some revolutionary new device?!!?!?!?"), but which has a much greater chance of success than some of the more out there stuff we want them to do. As a former Newton user, for example, I would be ecstatic if Apple did release a Newton 3000 or something, but I also realize that there is a good reason they aren't doing that - there still just doesn't seem to be a widespread market for PDA's at this point. So an MP3 player might be boring, but it turned out to be a very smart move for Apple.
That just say to you how important an amazing Steve Jobs is. The man has the talent to foresees what will be a hit and what won't be.
We are luck to have him and Apple together. I remember when he was not behind Apple and how things were bad. I am glad he is there now.
The truth is what seems to be the logical thing for us might not be for him, so, I rather have him tell me that.
I hope he will stay at Apple for long, long time.

I might be inclined to read the books, if they are really good. I think it has potential to be an outstanding sci-fi epic. :)
Well, it depends on who you listen to...
I actually found myself on the Halo Wiki the other day reading about the Halo universe. Then about 10 minuets in I realized how lame it was and I stopped. Dont get me wrong I love me some Halo but if its outside the game, eh...
...because I find just about everything Halo-related to be pretty interesting. But hey, that is just my opinion. ;)

I don't really think it's a big deal to have to connect your iDevice to your computer to update firmware every so often. You're going to have to connect it to sync anyways. However, I'll probably use this feature. That is, if it'll be available for AT&T customers?

Nice one Jobs. The zune's sharing looks rubbish and he told them that it is. It is also nice to see that the 5th anniversary has come and the ipod is stronger than ever.

Ironic that FACEBOOK is one of websites that most OFTEN CRASHED Safari 4.0.3!
I'm not sure who's to blame for that, Apple or Facebook, but since many other websites don't crash Safari 4.0.3, doesn't this seem like the little stubborn child refusing to do his homework properly?
Btw, I've yet to extensively test Safari 4.0.4 on Facebook, but my past experience was that Facebook has always been buggy on Macs, and every new update to the site always seems to cause a Mac-specific problem.
And recently with Safari 4.0.3, it was crashing Safari 3 times a week.
Other websites were crashing Safari 4.0.3 too, mostly those that were Javascript or FLASH intensive, but Facebook was one of the worst offenders.
I'm anxious to see how Safari 4.0.4 does, so far so good as far as crashes on any website (knocks on wood). :)

Lets hope they remaster them - the stereo effects on the original versions can be really painful on a pair of headphones.
+1
The quality of The Beatles CD releases are, for the most part, poor. Of course, they date from 1987, and digital tech has improved greatly since then.
The music itself could also do with a remix. Mixing drums entirely in one stereo channel is difficult to take in headphones!

Instead of the headline reading macbook hacked in 60 seconds it should of read x vendor welcome to your lawsuit we promise it wont last 60 seconds!
The macbook was hacked in 60 seconds. Why it was hacked or whoose software was responsible is irrelevant. The macbook was HACKED, PERIOD!.
End of story.

Yeah they will. iTunes works on any Windows or Mac system. They can listen to it on their computer, burn a CD, or even rip that CD back into a format that any player can play, with a minimal quality loss. Besides, anything that discourages consumers from buying a Zune is probably good for consumers :) .
I think the main thing that discourages people from buying a ZUNE is the Zune...
anyway if this Beatles thing works with Apple, it will most likely be a limited time excklusivity 6 months to one year tops and then open to other online sellers.

@SVD thanks. I wasnt too keen on some of my earlier stuff either. I knew how I wanted to express myself but didn't know my camera well enough to. It's good to know my stuff is appreciated, thanks for the compliment. I only have the xs, 24-70L, and the speedlight. I do have studio strobes and backdrops and stuff but thats it.

I believe that they have been working on remastering the entire collection for a while now. That would produce a really nice iTunes addition.

I've been reading about every other post in this thread and as a long time Beatles fan, wanted to weigh in. I already own the entire Beatles catalog on CD and carry all their releases (minus "Live at the BBC" and a good number of tracks on the Anthologies) around with me on MP3 CD. I used to have it on iPod, but I got a shuffle and gave my 15GB to my wife. So, I have no need to purchase the music. Even if they remastered it, it would still be in 128kb AAC, and that would be a waste.
I would, however, buy a Beatles iPod in a second. Hell, I might even camp out at an Apple store for that. Some people here have said the band is old, and their time is over. I couldn't disagree more. Their music is as fresh as it was in the 60s. They completely changed the face of rock and roll and more importantly, the face of recording. Some of the things the band and George Martin did in the studio are groundbreaking. My list of favorite bands changes on a near daily basis, but the Beatles are always locked in at number 1 on that list. Their influence on modern artists is undeniable. I hear the influences in so many types of music, although that is disappearing with the garbage pawned off on the public as music these days.
I hope these rumors are true because I do think:
1) Apple Computer innovated computing and the music industry with the iPod and iTunes, just as the Beatles did.
2) The ads would be classic
3) The thought of McCartney and Ringo with Steve Jobs on the MacWorld stage makes me tingle with anticipation.
4) Apple Corps was created to breed and inspire creativity, and I think Apple computer does the same thing. It's a match made in heaven.
Paul McCartney is quite a jerk. I wouldn't want to see Steve Jobs insult himself by appearing with him.
Apple Corps breed, inspire creativity? Geewhiz, I don't know whether that's the case... enough LSD and that helps :mad:
Honestly I like some Beatles songs but this is the most overrated band in the history of mankind. Even Cat Stevens and Steely Dan turned out much better.

Im glad to see that they finally upgraded their consumer line of notebooks. Now for the RAM, 2 gig's costs about 250 dollars, so if its anywhere near that price to upgrade on the apple store, its a good deal. Ive noticed lately apple has been a little more moderate on their RAM prices, atleast on some machines.

Hackers rank up there with drug dealers as the scum of the earth. Pathetic, cocky wastes of human life. And no - there's no way you can convince me otherwise and I know I'm not in the minority on this one.
Side Note: Of course I'm talking about the ones who release their stuff into the wild and don't just notify the software company about the problem and keep it to themselves (those are good people and should be commended - it's the other ones that are a waste of flesh)

What level of military interventions should the US take in the Republic of Congo?
What has been asked for and what we are providing is a no fly zone, which seems like the appropriate amount of military intervention.
If the people of Libya want Gaddafi out than it seems like air support keeping any heavy weapons he can buy subdued should probably be enough.

Here's one of the better shots of a cup I was experimenting with last night.

We had a set of those same cups when I was a kid. Your photo just took me back in time.
Photographed today at lake Leamy in Gatineau, near Ottawa. Very difficult to shoot them without a gazillion branchs around them, but then again, that is their environnement ;)
http://www.robertgravel.ca/Animals/Oiseaux/MG7056-upload/1207750652_2ZMuC-XL.jpg
Outstanding capture! Excellent composition, color, and sharpness. Great catch light in the eye and just the right turn of the head to show off the crown and beak. I also like how the right part of the frame communicates the tangled nature of his habitat but is enough out of focus to be a subtle background element. I'd probably dodge that big white spot to his right a bit, but other than that, it's a terrific photo.
