(1) Not even close to every machine ships with a productivity suite... in fact, if you look closely at what you're paying for when you buy most PC machines, those products that "ship standard" with your fancy new PC are built into the price. Most customizable online shops (Dell, et al.) allow you to remove that software and lower the price. So obviously, they are not free.
(2) iWork is undoubtably being groomed as a direct competitor to Office. There's no disputing that. It CURRENTLY is a replacement for AppleWorks, because it's still young and undeveloped in places, but it would be insane for Apple not to try and pursue part of the Office marketshare. It's an untapped resource, and frankly the Office programs are not very well constructed (with the exception of Excel). Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint are pretty lousy, and while Access is solid, it's certainly not leaps and bounds better than (PageMaker) <-- EDIT: Sorry, meant FileMaker.
(3) Bundling software, and then looking for profit on the backend with upgrades is a reasonable answer to the question. There's something to be said for that. But in the end, I think you're comparing Apples and Oranges. While at current, iWork is undeveloped, it is (as I said) being groomed to be a full suite of productivity Apps. iLife is a wonderful package of Apps, but they do not replace Pro Apps. iPhoto is garbage compared to Aperture or Photoshop. Pages is certainly not garbage compared to Word, and Keynote is already a much better App than PowerPoint. So I think there's a flaw in the argument here...
The only ones who even remotely have iWork tagged as an office competitor are those hardcore mac users despise anything that doesn't have the Apple logo on it. It is a consumer application. If iWork is not shipped with every Mac, nine times out of ten they're going to buy some version of office because that's the standard that everyone knows. I used Claris then Appleworks until it got too far behind pretty much because it came with my Mac.
I agree that they'd be better off bundling iWork while it only consists of Pages and Keynote, as a taster for the eventual suite-scale upgrade. I have absolutely no use for Keynote anyway, so as far as I'm concerned, the money is just for Pages, which is not much of a sweetener compared with the Educational version of Office.
For those in an Office or College setting, there isn't going to be much defending against Office student and teacher. Most computer tasks are built around office. Add in the option of a more familiar interface option for word processing and light duty spreadsheet and database apps, iWork and the Mac would have a lot going for it over PCs with MS Works.

G'day Guys,
I have been having a look around for a solution to my slow network problem, with no luck. Hopefully somebody here can help me.
I have 2 mac pro systems I use for audio and video work. They are on the company network which seems to be 10/100 and a little slow. When I am transferring large files between the two machines (which are on opposite sides of the room) it takes forever because the speed is limited to 100Base-T and not 1000 that the computers can work at. This is no good. I need speed. Can I run a private network on the Ethernet 2 sockets for transferring data between the 2 computers? How can I set it up so that these computers will always choose this private network for transferring data? Will this work when transferring data for Qmaster jobs?
As no other computers will need to be on the network, I assume it is as simple as plugging the two computers together with an Ethernet cable and making sure they can see each other. The hard part is making sure they always use this network and not the company network.
Ideas anyone?
Cheers,
Chris

Do you remember how much it was sold for?
If I can remember correctly it was expensive, something like $250 which is why I passed on it, Maple Ridge auctions had one also, similar price.
One went here in the UK not so long ago for about �75 but not in as nice a condition as yours.

I was in 8th grade, in Latin Class.
I didn't know what was going on until I got home.
None of the teachers would tell me what was going on.
All I knew is that people kept going home all day. Since I wanted to skip algebra (I hated that class so much!) I wanted to, too, but the teacher would only say "no, you don't want to"
We didn't watch the TV at all, but in english we had a discussion.
Some moron said "let's bomb all those *expletive*-head turban wearing sand *another expletive* KILL THEM ALL!"
I was just confused and shocked at why we would want to bomb whole countries.
I remember getting home, and my mom showed me what was going on. Dan Rather was reporting.
I didn't really know the scope of it freshman or sophomore year.
It was weird.
(but then, this question came up in english my sophomore year, and I got into a big fight with my teacher. whoops!)

Over the course of time, mobiles will displace consoles.
We can already mirror the iPad 2 onto HDTVs. Not the best news for dedicated consoles. It's not perfect, but it's a powerful portent. Dedicated devices (as opposed to convergence) are destined to DIE.
iCal this. Then in 2-3 years revisit this comment and be astounded.
not going to happen
Mass Effect 2 is on 2 DVD's for the x-box and a blu ray for the PS3. the iOS version of ME sucks in comparison. a new generation of consoles will be released starting this year and going into 2012 and expect MS and Sony to have blu ray. that's 50GB per disc and hard drives with almost a TB will probably be available to load your games on the console
there is no way iOS can compete with that unless the devices get huge bump in storage

So I have an iPad2 Wifi and an iPhone 3G. The 3G is jailbroken and I'm running the MyWi application.
Unfortunately I am not seeing the GPS enabling on the iPad2 that others have reported.
Am I supposed to be getting any kind of GPS, or is my phone too old or am I running the wrong software? Whenever I open Maps, I get 'Current Location could not be determined'.
Thanks for your help!

Humourus Rap stars?
The Fresh Prince & DJ Jazzy Jeff , "Parents Just Dont Understand", "Girls of the World Aint Nuthin But Trouble", then "A Nightmare On My Street" came out and they bombed. however the only time Prince came back (with Jeff) was with "Ring My Bell" (a remix), and my favorite "Summertime". After that he just went broke and Quincy Jones saved his ass mentoring him into acting (yeah he played a fag but no casting would take him until after Fresh Prince of Bel Air - producer Quincy Jones). Is an actor now, he doesnt rate, skills are lost, just a trash talker.
Snoop, incredibly respected since his first album; but historically he didnt come from the ghetto, not even South Central. He was an uptown boy, BUT his originality and style got him were he is now, and he deserves his clout. Eminem is the ONLY artist that writes his lyrics, more so than he freestyles (since his original contract with Dre; remember Dre was the puppy of NWA not the star, but he was more intelligent in the studio!), why? because of his complex style of rhyming. Its more difficult that a Limerick; so difficult its never been done before and no artist can touch him.
Damn Need I go on to school you?!!! :D ;) :cool:
Erm, Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince's �Hes The DJ, Im The Rapper went 3 times platinum in the US alone. And it is widely regarded as a near classic. I have incredible respect for Jeff, and to a certain extent Will Smith. HipHop needs the fun side of it, as well as the conscious and political aspects. De La Soul, Biz Markie etc were all fun and humerous rappers, with MANY classics between them.
And as for your comment about Eminem, what do you mean he is the only artist who writes his lyrics more than he freestyles? Eminem is highly skilled, but is musically garbage. His last album was a joke. He doesnt hold a candle to the likes of Common Sense, Nas, Rakim, Chuck D etc...

I think that within a year or two even consumers will be demanding more picture quality. Even cheaper displays are beginning to have more contrast and wider gamut than crt's used to have. With new displays consumers start to see PQ problems with older content. This leads to demand for higher PQ content. Here in Finland, sd-dtv was generally considered high quality with older crt's, but when hd-lcd's got more common, people started complaining about artifacts.
And maybe even smaller movie companies start realizing that they need color management...:rolleyes:
Well Said!! Agree totally --- thanks for the thoughts.

That is quite weird. Normally, simulated surround sound headsets use optical cable to get their surround sound. I also only ever heard of optical, hdmi or a series of analogue cables being able to produce it. The only way I know of macs without dedicated audio cards being able to output surround sound is by optical or firewire using the multiple series of analogue cables as I mentioned.
There might be a driver issue that doesn't let osx recognize the processor of the megaloadon. Have you tried hooking it up to any other windows computer of your friends or family?

Yep. That is why the viphone did not sell through... Verizon customers have lots of excellent choices when it comes to smart phones. No question if you are using a late model top tier android device like the dx it is Painful going back to a viphone. Add to that real 12Mbit plus downloads only on Verizon and only on android phones and apples offerings are not even in the game.
The viphone kills in video conferencing though....
I agree.
Tho I really wonder who is using Facetime? I know everyone talks about it like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, but it's like the webcam on my mac, yeah it's nice to have when I call my mom across the country, but it's something I'd use about 0.01% of the time, and if I were going to use it, it's more likely I'd tell my mom to get on the computer and skype me on my computer to have full screen HD video chat...

Just an update......... it worked for me in my hotel room !
Unfortunately two issues
It takes anywhere from 1 to 10 tries to make it connect
And
My hotel wireless is too slow to keep a channel without skipping (but that is not the iPads fault)
So thanks for the help by the way !
If the hotel wifi is slow that's probably why it took a few trys to connect. I tried it at a Starbucks and McDonalds WiFi and it worked very well. The channels were clear and didn't skip/freeze.

If Apple allowed mods like themes, widgets, keyboard changes, etc, I'd agree. We're in this thread for a reason tho.
I hate to burst your bubble. But most androil phones do not have the latest and greatest OS. How do I know this? I own a Samsung Epic 4g. I just got Froyo. I will probably never see Gingerbread. Until they find a way to update the phones to the latest OS. Android sucks!! I love my iPad and miss the iPhone.

This is a great start, Apple!
What would be really cool is if the iTV could do iChat video chats, so I can sit on my couch while I'm chatting with family far away.
Also, I tend to rent movies, not to buy them. What about a rental option?
Finally, what about my existing (tiny) DVD collection -- mostly my kid's movies? I realize you can't give people a way to slurp in DVDs they rent from NetFlix -- maybe a DVD drive on iTV?

Hello,
I have been using my Mac mini PowerPC G4 (1.5) with satisfaction, but recently its superdrive (Matshita DVD-R UJ-845C, firmware rev. DPP9) stopped to pull inside any disc (despite I made use of it very seldom) and now I am in doubt if it is better for me to change it with a new one or leaving it unworking and make use of an external firewire optical drive (e.g. LaCie d2 DVD RW 22x ...). Any piece of advice is very wellcome.
Best Regards
