i guess i am the only one that finds this a bit wierd. and rubs me the wrong way. so somewhere in googles databases my life is recorded on where and when i was there? i bet the government would love to get a handle on that.
:(
Yep, I'm with you on that. It already bugs me that my Prius has a black box for accidents and a GPS built in (for the nav system.) Why do we *trust* this government to not ask companies to turn that information over (just like they asked for our phone records) and for these corporations getting billions in tax incentives to eagerly comply? Now if you carry a GPS, government will be able to know where you are at any moment. I'm not buying it unless Apple includes a pledge with the product that they will fight to protect my legal rights if any government agency asks for these records without probable cause.

People are getting way to desperate and inpatient for the iPad 2 JB. My only regret is I didn't hold on to my first gen, but hey, what are you going to do?
Wait.
Wait.

Wish they'd take the plunge already and make it the iPad Air. Yeah, heavier, no keyboard, but would be what a lot of people want.
Isn't the graph misleading? Is it 400 thousand units or 400 million units?
Yeah, I expect Apple makes more than a buck thirty on each Air sold.

But in all honesty I haven't seen a game yet on iOS that really blew me away, so as far as gaming goes I think getting a console is the better choice..
I don't think anyone thinks a portable game is as good as a console. What this thread is about is the dedicated portable game market getting eaten by the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices.
A console is no good to you on a train or while waiting in an airport.

Agree. Although not horrible, 'Pages' did not do it for me either. How about MACcel. No, that sux too. Maybe Cellmate? That would appeal to those who refused to "Just Say No". Hmm, I am glad I never studied marketing.
Pages is a great app. Text only documents even come out looking better than MS Word. I think people don't like it because it isn't an exact clone of Word. It reminds me of people who won't try a Mac because the OS looks different and scares them haha.
Seriously, if you don't like the inspector then right click on the toolbar at the top and customize it. You would be surprised just how much it can be made to look and function just like Word. If you don't want the templates to come up at start then you can turn that off too.
I think that the two big shortcomings that I find with Pages is the lack of a full mail-merge functionality, which will be fixed with the release of "Lasso" or Numbers or Charts or whatever it is and the lack of a built-in thesaurus as I really don't like to copy and paste from the system wide one. The thesaurus issue is supposed to be fixed with the next version of Pages as well.

That seems like a really cool program, especially if you are looking to create a gif from your favourite TV show, or something.
What are you wanting to do with the program, though? Because you could always pause the movie or video you are trying to cap from and press control+shift+4, this brings up a box which makes a cap of only the parts of the image that are selected, and conveniently saves it to your desktop.
I understand if you are trying something a little more complex, though, that this would be a tedious and inappropriate way of going about it. :)
thank you for your advice.

would audio apps be considered creative apps or is this a visual creation only thread?
if it counts, i love the Generator Synth AU (Audio Unit) plugin, i use it in Ableton Live 4.1
Stiwi @ Alphakanal (http://www.alphakanal.de) made the plug and its free. Though it will be getting a new name and update in a week (because of copyright issues with the name "Generator")
its very cpu effecient and highly stable. its one of the only soft synths i trust in a live performance situation and its only going to get better.

I think its a great comparison! Its a good way to measure performance of the portable and ultra-portable niche. I like the idea of adding the iPad because it it often factored in when you are looking at the $700 - $1200 price range.
I would like to see the speed comparisons between the original MBA with conventional storage vs. MBA Solid State storage vs. MBA with flashed-based storage! That would be an awesome comparison!
I want to see how big of an advantage Flash storage is over SSD. . . If any.

Who's going? Last year I pre ordered, showed up an hours early and was about #30 in the pre order line. It doesn't look like they're offering pre orders this year. I was thinking about getting there around lunch time.
How about you?

That sucks. On the otherhand, when Apple sends my Walmart the new batch I can plop one in layway.
The discount barely covered the cost of tax when buying directly from apple.

The Ipad 2 and very recently IMac have just release.
I'm reading the buyer's guide page here and it said don't buy the Macbook for now because there will be an update soon.
I do understand just like Iphone, Apple always release a new hardware with the same price of old lower spec hardware.
But I'm in need of the Macbook for an Iphone app development and I want to see wheter I just get the Macbook air now or wait for the white Macbook with higher spec at the same price.
What do you guys think?

I'll have to check my old Apple Catalogs.
I think it's their radio/cooler logo bag from the late 70's...
Anyone can buy them.

Essentially, we need to find someone who still has the Optimum 1.0 app on an iPad 1. Then they can jailbreak their iPad, crack the app and upload it to us.
Until then, 99% of us are SOL :apple:
I know I am willing to pony up my appreciation if/when this is done. Others?

Who's the prick downrating your posts...?!
A friend of mine runs a small animation business. He does lots of rendering, which is apparently extremely CPU-intensive. If that's what you'll be doing, as DG has said, the i7 might give you something extra. But if you're working on stills, I think the i5 is fine.
