That would even be a better story if it was true. It ain't (http://history.nasa.gov/spacepen.html).
Had a sneaking suspicion it may be an urban myth. Thanks for the clarification
Any way it does illustrate technology for technologies sake isn't always the best approach

some people just want an ipod for listening to music.
not every apple user in the world needs all that iOS stuff.
i'm really hoping for an ultimate classic model, but i'm being a bit hopeless.
meantime I just bought a used 4g ipod classic 20gb for 30� (40$), it's wonderful :)

Maybe they're waiting for HSPA+ to become more widespread. As it stands, only a few major cities have the expanded backhaul
That's just the U.S. and specifically AT&T lagging.
The rest of the world has built out their HSPA+ networks and many of them have upgraded speeds a couple of times.

I've always felt that WW2 was justified though the way we ended the war was unfortunate and un-necessary.
I'm also generally in support of intervening to stop genocide/ethnic cleansing.
Unnecessary Wars:
Revolutionary
War 1812
Civil War
Spanish American War
WW1
Korean War
Vietnam War
Desert Storm (Iraq 1.0) maybe necessary but easily avoided
Afghanistan
Iraq War
Interesting list.
I'd assume that you are also not a supporter of the USA's forays south of our border during the last century and a half.
I wonder what Rand thinks about the sale of US military goods to foreign countries? Surely the sale of such, especially to militant countries like Iraq, Libya, Israel, etc, violates his sacrosanct policy of non-intervention.

Yeah I'm happy to wait for the new editions to come out...heck if it comes out these next weeks I'll be happier. I do think Apple has held it out a bit too long, but I think we'll all be happy once it comes out.
Heck it'll be a hell of a lot better than the HP laptop I own...god it's so slow.

Taxes had to be raised on income...
Your income tax rate "matrix" looks exactly like mine did. ;)
or how about cutting Government useless spending budgets from 100s of thousands down to reasonable #s
How about we define "useless" and "reasonable?" We can't even get people within one political party to always agree on these subjective terms, and you're throwing them about in defense of a military budget that's already been shown to be out of kilter compared to the other world superpowers?
C'mon. I won't disagree that budgets need to be tweaked, and I love a good show of technological force - but the U.S. military is way beyond adequate for what its mission should really be.

i don't understand why some people would long for 12 inch ones when macbook is 13 inches. don't tell me 1 inch will make that big of a difference.
Ever owned a 12" powerbook? I have two.
There's a reason a lot of 12" powerbook owners rave on about them. The form factor is very neat. It sure isn't about how powerful they are :).

This would be nice as long as my iPhone understands what I am saying. When I first got my iPhone 3GS (with iOS 3) I thought the voice recognition was excellent. However, since the update to iOS 4 the phone and I seem to be able to communicate. If I set it to use English (American) and fake an accent then it seems to work OK but not if it is set to English (British). I don't know what Apple did but having this functionality cease to working after an update, and never be fixed (judging by the Apple Support Discussion site, I'm not the only person to have encountered this), gives me cause for concern for future voice functionality.

That album is completely lame. I was bored to tears listening to it on the Virgie magastore booth...
This is the best Beatles album period: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grey_Album
Enough Jay-Z meets the Beatles is way more creative. Someday Applecorps will need to release this.
Well it sounds pretty wonderful in 5.1 and rememberit is just really a soundtrack for a show. I find that is works wonderfully about 80% of the time and just entered the Billborad Charts at number 4..Not too shabby. There is also a different audience soundwise now who listens to most music from iPods (or the like) or from their computers, and really don't seem to listen to or care about really good high fidelity. I listen via itunes and ipods for fun and convenience but home through a really good stereo I listen mostly to vinyl and CDs. Again the DVD 5.1 of Love is one of the best sounding albums I've ever heard especially from almost 40 year old music.

More great news. I wonder where the limit on this growth will be?
As great as Macs are, the price will still be a determining factor at the end of the day. I don't see it getting as popular as PCs are. Maybe 20%?

(ahem) There IS a difference. Photoshop is far more advanced that Pixelmator for P-R-O-F-E-S-S-I-O-N-A-L work. It has a deeper set of tools and features available. Why do you think it's expensive? For one, it has many plug-ins and filters built in that come from third party developers.
Why do I think it is expensive? Actually I think the cost goes up in direct relation to their douche bag-e-ness.
Citing third party filters and plug-ins as a cost factor is bogus. For one it points to their severe lack of creative growth and foresight (even they choose to swallow someone else's work and bundle it in). Most importantly if the solutions remain third party they are paid for in addition to the cost of the basic app itself by the consumer.
I have been working in this field for over 25 years now, and have taught advanced imaging to other professional designers and photographers. Very little has fundamentally been altered in terms of workflow since the early days. And, that is not a good thing. I am not saying there have not been advancements, but I could probably list the the real significant ones on two hands total. Compare those with the total cost of each upgrade and the number would be substantial. The trend for most things is to push costs down (except maybe for cable, phone, etc.). Maybe Adobe thinks they are a utility now, and deserve a fixed amount each month?
Buy whatever tool works for you period. Just because you are a "pro" (or aspire to be one) doesn't mean you have to use the so-called "professional" tool. I hear that argument all the time trying to pressure folks into a MacPro, over an iMac. For many folks the iMacs are the smart buy and provide more than ample horsepower and speed to suit their needs (at more than half the cost).

How about we cut sweetheart pension deals for politicians that pay them 100s of thousands of dollars every year.
I'm not to familiar with Canada's finances, but that kind of thing is literally a drop in the bucket in ANY country's budgets. That couldn't possibly even add up to billion. Thats not nearly enough to offset the kind of cuts that education faces in this country, again I'm not sure of Canada's situation though.

I am surprised so many PCs are sold as it is. I wonder if people are happy with them or they just sit in a drawer or closet somewhere.
Macs aren't the answer to everyone's needs. Apple only have a touch over 4% of the worldwide market so do you think the other 96% of customers are sitting there head in hand wishing they had a Mac?
Apple have targeted the highly profitable premium home market and now dominate it. They aren't interested in the low end or business market because they don't need a huge market share to do well and are prepared to let their competitors fight amongst themselves for those lower margin sales.

Nope.

Looks like a new battery for me too! Sadly I can't get onto the support page for the recall. Looks like all 1.8 millions users want to make their exchange at the same time!:D
I'm leaving my battery in in the mean time though. I really can't manage to use my powerbook as a desktop for the 4 weeks or more that it'll take to get the new battery. It's worked fine for the past 1.5 years so I don't see why it should suddenly now self destruct!

May I be the first to say: Where's our desktop?
I assume you mean headless tower since all the iMacs and the MAC Mini are desktops......... Oh wait, isn't the MAC Pro a headless tower?
