One of the things that irritates me about iTMS is the fact that I can't play my purchased tracks on anything other than an iPod.
This doesn't currently affect me as I own an iPod but I would like to be able to use them on other devices as well (such as AAC compatible phones etc.) . This restriction means that I do not purchase as much from iTMS as I might otherwise.
I am wondering how much extra money Apple gets from locking users of iTMS into the iPod system.
Would 'de-regulating' FairPlay in this way encourage owners of other players to buy from iTMS and would this extra revenue offset that losses from lower (potentially) from iPod sales?

I bought iWork '05 instead of Office X, and it can't compare. Word is just an easier, more powerful word processor to use. I prefer keynote to powerpoint, but not by much. I would definetely rate word higher than pages, and office higher than iwork. Powerpoint is definetely usable, but use mail+address book+iCal instead of entourage (way better).

Hey guys,
I recently moved to the UK from NYC, so no more US TV for me :(
Maybe one of you can let me access their VPN from my iPad? Will pay you $50/mo. to help offset your cable bill. Thanks!

Coleman - don't go crazy on 1.0 apk. CV can easily force you to upgrade by disabling access to their service via older software. I'm sure its easy for them to do it.
Even if you remove DRM I don't think u will be able to install it on Ipad2. In order to install it you need appsync running

Well, sleeping it should be better than keeping it running because only the RAM will be powered when sleeping. When the parts are not powered, the risk of failure is smaller. In the end, all electronics have a limited lifespan. Of course, if you have a reason to leave it running then it is different (e.g. downloading something).
Personally, my iMac is always on when I am at home and awake. When I leave home or go to sleep, I sleep my iMac. Same goes for my MBA but it is sleeping unless I'm using it.

What would be the alternative? Put some Dr. Dre head phones in the box and have the iPod cost $80 more? To what end?
Very few people care about the quality of the headphones that come with iPods. For those that do, they can buy nice set of headphones and not worry about the 10 cent ones that Apple puts in the box.
If Apple put in a half decent set of headphones and increased the price by, say $20, the folks that want even better headphones would complain that they have to pay an extra $20 for headphones they'll never use.
This is exactly my point--here we are saying that tons of people would complain about paying an extra $20 for headphones that weren't total garbage, but we are also saying how great it is that Apple sticks 6 billion dollars in the bank for three months' work, free and clear. So which is it? You want to line the pockets of the richest of the rich further, or you don't want to pay the extra $20 for decent headphones?

resolution independence is going to be a god send to web developers, no more crappy and inaccurate pixel/em sizes. now we'll be able to specify inches and picas hoorah!
and vista will be supporting resolution independence through its WPF foundation layer. it won't be overnight � hell like CSS 2.1 it'll take years before it goes mainstream, but the web is going to be a much better place.
as for JPEGs at 72 dpi vs resolution independence � beyond the scaling algorithms it's important to look at the increase in resolutions of monitors before going to crazy, 1920x1200 is about the maximum and average consumer is going to have, it's taken a few years from 1024x768 to get there though, three or four at least. i suspect we'll be at a max ratio of 2:1 or maybe 3:1 for quite some time. i don't think we're going to see a drastic need for hi-res images on the web or a plethora of "blurry" images for quite some time.

Weird. All three of my W7 boxes (DIY PC desktop, 2009 MBP and 2008 uMB) installed W7SP1 perfectly via Windows Update.
Have you tried downloading the update as an ISO?

Infinidock. Nuff said. I find Infinidock and Infinifolders to be two of the more valuable tweaks for jailbroken devices.

But I have another account with credit, I just use this account to download free apps because it is MY account and i've been downloading apps since a long time ago, I don't want to have money on it or a credit card.
I've sent an email to iTunes support, lets hope somebody does something about it, although I doubt it.
Recently they changed ToS, I think you have to have a card linked to your account to download, a valid one. I had the same issue, I recently had a new card sent to me by my bank, and I couldn't download anything from iTunes, free or paid, nor could I update the ones I already paid for on my iPhone! :mad:

It's really optimized for HD video. It has low resolution which will really stand out when used for other than video. TN rather than IPS panel which has a reduced viewing angle. The large cited contrast range is done by dimming the screen backlight with dark content, which is a reasonable trick for video but would be totally annoying for computer use.

Tired of Apple's locked ecosystem
Switching to Android.
I travel to China half of the year, I NEED and unlocked phone so that i can pop in my Chinese SIM card when i'm there.
iPhone is just not for me.
FU Apple.... so much for Freedom in the US.
Good... bye!
The thing here is CHOICE!
YOU CHOOSE to own an iPhone or NOT!
There are a bazillion choices now!
Just JB the darn thing... takes 3 minutes!
Get over it!

So here was my experience today. Short version: not too shabby!
I arrived at Arrowhead Mall around 11:15 am, found my way to the back of the reservation line.
The line was roughly 3 mall storefronts long, went from the Apple Store, past Sephora and 2 other ladies clothing stores.
The walk-in line was barely moving, but the reservation line moved at a decent clip. I got to the front of the line by around 12:30. Being lunch time, the Apple employees were handing out chocolate chip cookies from Paradise Bakery along with some water. They were also profusely thanking folks in line for toughing it out.
Got in the store at 12:35 pm, left about 10 minutes later at 12:45pm.
All told I was there 1h 30m, which wasn't too bad at all. And I got to sleep in and got a cookie. Sounds like this store was having a better time of it than most, and I feel fortunate it didn't take me too long.
One thing: they were completely out of bumpers. I was going to pick one up because of the reported "cupping" issues as I'm a lefty-phone-holder, but I'll have to wait on that.

Talked to security yesterday. They said we aren't allowed to form a line until 10pm. Though they said 4:00 for the iPhone launch and they started walking us in at 1:00.

I still can't believe you lot in the USA have gone for yet another incompatible-with-the-rest-of-the-world frequency for your 3G network meaning that anyone coming to the USA won't be able to use your 3G network and your 3G iPhones will be about as useful as a one legged dog outside the USA.
It's interesting that the T-Mobile guy thinks that the prime use for 3G in the USA will be email and other user generated content and not music though. Personally the last thing I want is content rich email on my mobile phone.
I can't believe 3G is new for the Americans.
Land of the free indeed....:p

That should work fine. All you're doing is copying the music files onto the USB and then on to the other computer, right?

It trickle charges after it fully charges. You could leave it plugged in 24/7 and it would be fine.
Exactly! You cannot overcharge it.
