and that price... apple is willing to incur opportunity cost (As professional video editors are willing to pay a LOT more for this, perhaps near 1K) for the hope of picking up tons of more consumer users... which they will. smart move.

You know, I wonder if they'll eventually implement something like DVD Studio Pro had where you could have a beginner / moderate / expert workspace preference?

The last thing I want is the need to constantly connect to the internet and download the maps every time when I want to get some navigation. The Google maps solution is not ideal if they still don't allow caching maps or local navigation database.
The latest Google maps (and Google navigation) that is used on Android both have caches. Maps has a setting for it.
Google Navigation caches the route and continues even in airplane mode, including at least some rerouting if you miss a turn. Someone made an example video here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzQo7-DH2CU&feature=player_embedded#at=247).

10.6 is very decent but there are a couple of minor things that would make me very happy;
being able to password protect individual folders
and
greater freedom in being able to display/group your files and apps as you like (for example being able to group apps by type/frequency of use or being able to list a track under several genres/artists in itunes; which should be possible as the program doesn't have to edit the ID3 tags).
And MacPaint!

#1 - Culture
#2 - Relative wealth of country and self-reliance of citizens as a whole (however, they are WAY in debt, worse even than the U.S.)
#3 - They just experienced a catastrophe so horrific, it's brining the people together, not apart. Similar to how 9/11 did in America.
#4 - Disaster zone is in very specific areas, and everything in those areas is essentially completely destroyed. Several blocks away, things are relatively untouched.

i would RATHER row for Dartmouth than be caught dead any where near the rusted gates of Princeton, myes... As a resident student at the fine university of San Francisco State, I must say that the idea of Princeton getting good publicity is highly dubious... indubitably...
seriously people, does it matter where we go to school? does it say anything about us? well, yes, it does i suppose, but anyone so self centered or insecure that they need to project their own self worth off of that where they study is a very unfortunate person...
sorry for the rant, g5 powerbooks and iphones tuesday.

I bought it today and have been playing around for a couple of hours (hence I am sweaty and stinky before I even get to the gym)....
Firstly it's bigger than I expected. It also looks good and far from cheap (playstation move & camera I'm looking at you)...
It works, and when it works - it works very well.
Dance Central is fantastic fun and a great aerobic workout on top.
Kinect Adventure is your usual mini game shenanigan.
I also bought Kinect Sports & Kinect JoyRide but have not played either as yet.
Space is the biggest problem...
Damn this Kinect is one greedy mofo in regards to space. I could not use it in my own room due to lack of space, the same room where Move & Wii both have no issues what so ever. This is going to be its biggest problem by far.
Were talking 10-12 feet for best results. That's quite some distance from your TV and if you have to factor in a room having sofa's & chairs - it soon is evident your going to need a bigger home. Kids can forget this in their bedrooms anyway.
Once I was able to give it the room it demands it worked great, but as I say without that room - forget it.
Menus
Dance Central's menu is great. Works with movement very well and feels sensitive and intuitive. Kinect Adventures menu system by comparison is clunky.
Right off to do some proper work for a change :D

Should be a nice source of simaltaneous amusement and frustration :D
So this is a NEW release of a highly popular game and it's coming to the MAC?
Bravo.
No, you can't play it via Media Access Control.

Look up Binaural sound. Sound these days can be mixed in such a way that, when output through a nice set of headphones, the effect is completely 3-dimensional. The sound technicians do all the fun stuff for you.
It's really impressive, honestly. I've played with it a bit. Almost too real.
i will check it out. but the question is, would we really want it in headphones at all? it would make us a little freaked out if it really sounded real, and it would take away our ability to differentiate between sound coming from the headphones and sound coming from around you, which would be a little scary.

I wasn't aware you were talking so much about the person Justin Long (whom none of us actually know, mind you) but rather the character he played in the ads. I assumed we were talking about the ads. I did not mean to get you so riled up. I'm sorry our misunderstanding caused you to be embarrassed of humanity. I didn't realize it had such far reaching implications! I really hope you can forgive me and move on.

I read his one entry. I plan to never read it again. As it was traumatizing, it hasn't moved me to suicide, so I'll be here tomorrow to post more riveting celeb. bashing.

so if you computer crashes you left with nothing.. again why they should discount this.
That's not how steam works. When you purchase something through steam, you can download and install it as many times as you want. If your computer crashes, all you have to do is reinstall steam log into your account and redownload it. This is one of the reasons why steam is so popular.
as far as the price. $50 for games is standard, especially for pc ( and I guess now mac ). It costs millions of dollars to make and promote a game. Most games for consoles are $60 and there PC counterpart are $50 because both microsoft and sony take $10 off each sale. If you are concerned with the length of the game, go read a few reviews and they will all tell you the game is much much longer then the original, plus it includes a co-op mode with different levels. $50 seems pretty good to me.
Also, it's supply/demand. Millions of people are going to go out and spend $50 on the game, so why not sell it at $50? The nice thing about steam is, if you can find it cheaper elsewhere, you can still install it on your PC/Mac and play it through steam. But a lot of people are willing to pay the $5 extra to get the convenience of not needing to ship or wait in a line to buy the game.

$480 elite + $100 wireless + $200 HD-DVD drive = $780 for the full 360 experience.
$180 more than a PS3. Wow! I can so get a 120 GB OEM drive for LESS THAN $100! :rolleyes:
So if I got a PS3 "elite", and got a 120 GB OEM drive, IT'D STILL BE CHEAPER THAN AN ELITE 360! WTF WTF WTF WTF!?!?!?! :eek:

Netflix advantages:
- available on a lot of platforms (Xbox360, PS3, Wii, :apple:TV, iPhone/iPod touch/iPad, some set-top boxes, Silverlight)
- low cost (around 10$ per month, unlimited streaming)
Netflix disadvantages:
- only available in USA and Canada (extremely limited selection in Canada)
Apple advantages:
- could be launched in a lot of countries (probably everywhere there currently is an iTunes Store)
- already have a lot of iTunes Store user accounts worldwide
Apple disadvantages:
- would probably require an Apple-made device to access the content (bonus: no Silverlight installation required on Mac), as I don't see Apple making an app for the Xbox360, PS3, Wii and other set-top boxes (they'd rather sell you an :apple:TV)
- their servers are located in the USA, so I don't know if it's enough to serve streaming media worldwide. Do they currently have servers in other countries for the international iTunes Stores?
Technical issues aside, however, it all boils down to selection and price.

Sorry, mate, but I think you're missing the point.
For a company like Apple losing a prototype and it ending up in the hands of a tech blogger months before its release was probably a big blow. But that damage is now done, nothing more they can do about that. The only thing they get to decide is how to handle the matter now with respect to the felony (probably) committed by the finder and Gizmodo. Are their interests best served by getting the police to bash down this guy's door and confiscate the tools of his trade? Apple is a corporation owned by its shareholders and upheld by passionate customers who buy things at a premium because they feel good about them and the company that makes them. It doesn't get to throw a tantrum. It has an image to consider. What's to be gained by tearing up this blogger? A deterrent for similar cases in the future? Give me a break. The next guy who gets his hands on a prototype will just be a bit more careful not to show his face in the video and claim it was sent to him by an anonymous source. That's all.
So, yes, it was a felony. But it still lacked style and class to go after the felon like that. And style and class is what Apple is all about.
Apples hand was forced once the device was sold to Gizmodo. I don't think I missed the point at all. If you don't address the selling of a prototype device that your company has spent millions of dollars developing, then that would be irresponsible to your share holders. The method to go after someone who has stolen, or paid for stolen property is to contact the police. I as a share holder of Apples would expect nothing less then them using law enforcement to go after these criminals.
