Apple's website was thick with Flash and frames when the iPhone was first announced. It was the "real internet".
Steve Jobs deliberately stayed away from displaying the Apple website on an iPhone for months... because Safari couldn't display it correctly, if at all.
At the time, I noted online what he was doing, and commented that Apple was going to have to totally redesign their website before the iPhone went on sale.
And so they did.
Apple never used flash for anything more than simple animated ads on their site! And moved away from that to Quicktime based video. If you were seeing Flash it was because you were on a PC with out quicktime and the Apple site was falling back to flash!
Flash is evil it is not searchable, it is a black stain on the open web!

Thanks for the info! I went to ikea today and picked one up in black/brown. I'll post some pics of my setup tomorrow. This desk is awesome, its changed my workspace/mac setup forever! :D
You're very welcome. :) I've one (a "Corner desk-left") in beech veneer (with 6 silver A-legs) & I personally feel that these Galant desks are just fabulous. :)

Apple is a self absorbed organization that loves to publically bash other companies like Microsoft for not being responsive, open, hip, etc., then when it comes to incorporating a technology that people want/need, they drag the butts, remain non responsive and basically do nothing. I applaud Adobe for throwing this right back in Apple's face.

The salesman probably won't let you get out of the store without Applecare, a case, and a screen protector for fear of being fired. And while you are there, how is your cellphone treating you? They also have generic batteries 4 packs/$10.
Sorry, its a terrible place to shop and knowing how constrained their inventory with the "hot" phones, they probably won't have any in stock.

I hope Facebook will get someone else (or several people) to replace him.
I appreciate his work, and would like to see it continued despite a frustrating process.

In other words, what we saw tonight was nowhere near the final form of the application.
This statement has me a bit puzzled. FCP is supposed to be out in around 2 months. Are they going to rush the rest into FCP in this amount of time, or get the basics in there, then drag onto multiple updates?
I think it's simpler than that - Apple wasn't ready to tip their full hand, just whet everyone's appetite.
Hence us seeing an older, less complete build while the final version is still being polished.
And I have no doubt their will be some quick post-release updates - that's the way of life for complicated applications and it has been for quite a while now. The applications are complex, the underlying operating systems are complex, and how they interact with other applications and utilities installed on the system are also incredibly complex. If you have a low tolerance for stability, wait a least a year before switching to it for production work. That's not a symptom of Apple being sloppy, it's a matter of pragmatic risk management.
For those who are expressing outrage that perfect and bug-free applications aren't being delivered - you couldn't afford them. While it can be done, it can't be done for consumer (or even "Pro") level pricing.

With all the accusations of Apple not being eco-friendly enough, maybe they have developed a wireless power source that runs on depleted Greenpeace members :D

That's funny.
I would've returned the wife before the iPad. Those are easier to find.
no kidding, I didn't have to wait in a line for 13 hours to get the chance to buy a wife, just for her dad to tell me sorry she's sold out and to try again tomorrow.

Stevie has a valid point. I might have to try that :D

The usual answer would be: start with a new source, and compress that to 640x480. If you start with a video that's already 320x240, you can't expect it to look better if you later try to re-encode it to a larger screen size. Can't get data from nowhere... can't get blood from a stone.
I think the person was referring to content they already pruchased from iTunes store. In which case, as I posted before, I too am wondering this same question. Looks like I will have to send Apple an email.

Anyone else notice that the low end iMac (1.83 Ghz) now has the 950 chipset for a graphics card?
This should have been clear from the EDU iMac which also sported the 950.

SIRI rocks! The BEST, by far, voice recognition right out of the gate I have EVER tried-it is quite amazing and I wish Apple all the best integrating it-great choice! Put it into a remote control to provide functions- "turn to sports channel" " record this movie" "next, previous" etc.............

[QUOTE=But seriously... $9.99 to $12.99 movie downloads when I can go over to any store (like, oh, say, Wal-Mart) and buy the real deal for a buck or two more? Just how in God's name is this a threat to them?! Wal-Mart's smartest move would be to drop their DVD prices by that buck or two, until they cost the SAME or LESS than online downloads.[/QUOTE]
And that is the point right now.
There is room for both models until downloads become fast enough and cheap enough to kill physical disc forever.
But we all know this is a long way off....in retail terms.
Plus with the new HD formats around the corner physical discs still have plenty of life left in them. No?
Wal-Mart is a bully corporation, like so many in the world. And they have a history of profiting on peoples misery. Whether they be suppliers, employees or competitors. I hope this move takes them down a peg or two.
They deserve all the ****** that gets thrown at them.

There are plenty of people who study The Beatles work. Their work was even studied as it was written. So much so Lennon wrote songs to confuse them. I mean, there are even college courses on Radiohead's music. I feel there are a lot a music snobs in this thread.
When you study harmony, who are you going to study the most? Bach
When you study Music History of the Baroque era, who is going to take the biggest part of the semester? Bach.
When you study Harpsichord or organ, who is the biggest composer you are going to study? Bach. Even when you do piano, you are going to study Bach at leas at the beginning before your Liszt and Rachmaninoff.
I know they teach popular music at universities. The course on popular is music is optional. My wife took a course on popular music at Montreal university. They studied the Beatles for about 20 minutes of the whole semester. I did my bachelor's in the USA, my master's in Paris, DEM in Paris and my doctorate at Montreal. I know 20 is minutes is the most the Beatles are going to get. That's how important they are to music history. Perhaps, they are important in popular music.
You think you know about music, but your knowledge is very limited. It is just plain ridiculous to compare them to Bach.

Yes but I'm interested to know why you think the numbers are disproportionate. If you don't think it's race, finances, or lack of access to social services then what is it?
Who knows? Maybe there is a genetic component involved.

I walked into an AT&T store last summer to look at the iPhone4. Huge lines all over, had to sign in...didn�t feel like it.
We went to the mall across the street, walked by Radio Shack, saw the iPhones (3GS and 4) and stepped in...we were greeted and talked about the iPhones and the other phones.
We walked out in a little bit with two new iPhones.
They were helpful and no lines. Great experience compared to Apple stores and ATT stores we�ve been in.
(Apple is mainly busy not rude but that crowded atmosphere means hard to talk to an employee.)
RADIO SHACK is another option to buy. it is a good thing....keeps the "lower-class" out of your Elitist Apple Stores. haha :rolleyes:
