Exotic Car Wallpaper

I'm more interested in the potential for iPhoto for iPad - i use Aperture on my Mac, but frankly anything has got to be more useful than the built-in Photos app that the iPad is stuck with at the minute.

Maybe, when you rank the individual product models. But when you rank the underlying platforms, iOS is no longer leading the pack. Android has taken over the lead and that was to be expected, because Google did the smart thing: Divide and rule. Everybody can build Android gadgets, but only Apple builds iOS devices. And the systems that everybody can use have ALWAYS dominated the market. Just remember Windows vs Mac OS or VHS vs Betamax and Video 2000.

Winni... you're right, it is a totally different business model between Apple and Google when it comes to cell phones. And given that LG, HTC, Moto and others were failing miserably at doing their own OS it made sense for them to migrate to Android. Just the pure numbers say that Android is going to be a major player in the smart phone market.

However, that does not mean that iOS will not continue to thrive and grow either. As you can see by the numbers... it's a HUGE and growing market. Given that Apple's model makes them very profitable, I'm sure they are very happy with where they are at and the growth they are seeing.

I really hate this stupid iOS vs Android comparison. Android or iOS will never own the total market and one will not destroy the other. I just don't see that happening unless one of them takes their eye off the ball. Right now, that does not appear to be Apple. They seem to know what they're doing based on the numbers.

The Volt's just the tip of the iceberg. IF, and a big if, they perfect the manufacturing and design and port it to other vehicles, GM will start raking in the cash. The more they sell, the cheaper it gets. Not many are going to be willing to spend $41,000 for it, but nobody would buy it for $50k. If they want to get the electric car era jump started, they gotta give it away in the beginning.

Very cool! One question though- how do you make the dock transparent? I don't see that as an option in system preferences...is there an app that is needed :confused:

I personally don't like the dock so I use a handy little application called 'Mirage'. It gets the job done. Cheers!

Whilst you're right that many of us would struggle picking out our favourite beer brands from a line up it would be easy to spot the one that doesn't actually taste of beer at all, namely Budweiser.

Again, he should have called the police. What should she be charged with? Is she or is she not the victim of attempted murder?

Let me bold the part of my post that answers your question :


Both should be thrown in jail and left to rot. Unfortunately there's no law against stupid so only the guy will get his day in court.

Why ask me something I've already answered ? Want to argue around in circles ? I find she's a victim of her own stupidity mostly, if anything.

And please use multi-quote Skunk. Forum rules and all...

I'm married. I don't agree with what he did, but I understand...

Sam Kinison once said something along this line, too:

"I don't support violence against women, but I understand what turns Mr. Hand into Mr. Fist."

it may be a nice feature to download movies if the format was a good enough quality to watch on my high res display.

Should be a nice source of simaltaneous amusement and frustration :D



No, you can't play it via Media Access Control.

:rolleyes:

It kind erks me that I still have to have a gaming PC to max out current titles. Gosh I wish I Apple would up their GPU game so I could use the Mac for everything. :(

True, but Portal 2 is released for both MacOSX and Windows. :|

What is iLife 07 gonna do that you can't get in 06.

If you think like this, then there'd be no point to releasing iLife '07, no would there? :p

There is a club? Cool.

When can I expect my decoder ring in the mail?

Ha!:D

Here's another part of the demo that was missing in the beginning of part 2:

I couldn't disagree more. Apple is a master of marketing, its what makes them so successful. They could sell a computer made out of glass if they wanted to and I'm sure the consumers would just gobble it up.

And besides, apples target market is, lets be honest, the richer more educated portion of the world. Point being, if you can afford to lay down $1,000+ for a computer, I'll gamble that you've at least heard of Carbon Fiber.
:apple:

Sure I've heard of it, but if I saw it I'd have no idea if it was plastic or something else lol

Yeah, I wasn't even thinking about robotics... this could be very big indeed.

I guess that's how it goes sometimes. Technology becomes "practical" when there's a consumer application and you can apply economies of scale.

That's what has me excited about it, much the same as I was with the Wiimote (XGA multipoint IR sensor) and the iPhone (multitouch, accelerometer, etc.). I just wish I had the engineering chops to mess with it myself :o.

This is an interesting ban. I don't personally like those veils, as they represent a cultural institutionalized form of discrimination and control over women (granted, it seems that some women wear them voluntarily for reasons unknown to me). However, nothing ever gets better if you start alienating these cultures this way.

I do see their point. If a man walked around with something that covered everything but their eyes, people would be suspicious.

EDIT: CalBoy said it better than me.

I signed up a while ago...I'm STOKED!

Good to receive confirmation on this. I was curious when I read that Justin may not be doing the Mac commercials anymore and thought that it was quite odd. Glad to hear he'll be around (along with the ad campaign itself) for a while yet. :cool:

my desktop I posted above ended up giving me a headache, to much HDR on a glossy HR screen for my likes. So I found this and will rock this for the next month =)

iDVD is a great program. I hope they integrate it's features and cool themes with a new app rather than toss it all away!

I watched it yesterday, but it was off can on.

Phil is a really nice guy and I like him, but I don't like him as a presenter. I was SJ did the whole thing. However I don't think he was ready, and that have the other 3 help were a last minute thing which is why they were all kind of off.

Haveing that french guy talking about vista was a really bad choise. I could not understand what he was saying.

I also did not like it when Jobs was reading what to do.

Hopefully Paris will make up for these things.

The White iPad 2 is pure butter. Id love to see the iP5 have a similar design (back to the Aluminum backing)

I hate butter. Probably the white iPad, too. A coworker has one, it looks....weird. White and silver/aluminum/metal color combinations never thrilled me, like my 2 older Mac Minis.

The difference compared to the old one is to small. I assume that many iMac users with an iMac 2007/2008/2009/2010 don't buy a new one.

I assume you're reading the chart wrong. The new i5 is faster than the old i7, even though the i7 has hyperthreading but the i5 doesn't. That's pretty huge. It doesn't look like the new i7 has been benchmarked yet.

The processor upgrade in the new 27 inch line is just a marginal upgrade from the 27 inch core i7 2.93ghz 11,3 generation.

Based on what? Are there benchmarks out for the new i7 yet?

I do agree with you that it doesn't make sense for most people to upgrade from the previous generation, but I tend to feel that way about sequential updates in general. But this does look like it has the potential to be a nice improvement, and I think the TB ports allow the new machines to compete with the MPs in some ways they never have before.
