France is the _second_ country in Europe to ban such garments. First out was Turkey in 1997.
Turkey is also the first Asian country to ban such garments. Turkey is a transcontinental Eurasian country:)

And like Muslim women, nuns are often forced to wear their robes because they are forced to by their husband with rape and/or beating as possible punishment for non-compliance.
Are you talking about nuns, like in a convent? :confused: I thought they lived a life of chastity, and considered themselves married to God. I'm pretty sure God doesn't beat them or rape them, or otherwise punish them for non-compliance.
On a side note, can we impose a mandetory bikini rule anytime the temperature permits? Probably not; the list of exceptions would be huge, no pun intended.

So anyone think there's even a remote chance that Leopard could be available at MWSF '07? ;)
I know, probably wishful thinking, but it would be pretty sweet!
Looproumors is saying it's coming for MWSF. I hope, but I'm not betting on it.

So apparently Mr. Beeks has a new person on his list to avoid at the Christmas party. It'll be interesting to see Apple's response to this, if there is one.
Hmmm... thats strange I had a body bag erroneously delivered to my house this morning. It had the name 'Beeks' on it! :D

Everyone I know either has an iPhone or wants an iPhone. I even know a slew of Apple-loathing PC fanboys who have iPhones and HATE that they have iPhones, but love the iPhones so much.
Most people wanting an iPhone, that I know, don't have a problem with the $199 price tag, but with the 2-year plan and cost per month. They are generally cell phone non-dependants who have use-as-you-go plans due to lack of consuming need. $120/mo. for everything unlimited is ridiculous. If it was $40/mo. for everything unlimited, I believe cell providers would see a surge in sales. Then again, would that cheap a price provide them profit?
The cost of ownership with an iPhone is what drove me away. Paying 100+ a month for my phone (I got for free when I worked at Apple so I wouldn't have paid that much anyways for it) is crazy to me. I pay 70 a month with Sprint and get unlimited everything including 4G and my EVO was like 200 bucks after rebates. If the iPhone came to Sprint... maybe I'd switch back... maybe I wouldn't.

I hope they're worrying about getting iPhone5 available to us ASAP. My work just got me the HTC Thunderbolt on Verizon and it's NICE and sooo fast. I like using that more than my personal iPhone.

No iP5 so just to keep the torches and pitchforks at bay Apple "releases" the same thing just with different lipstick. LOL!
Sadly, there's plenty of folks that will lap this up.

i think it's fine not to release it today.
folks, you may be drooling over wanted software, but do you not realize, what steve said, the revolution behind the iphone??? it's not just an 'upgrade' to a mac or a pump in processor speed. it's a brand new 3-in-1 product.
anything else..and i mean anything else, would have been a sad whimper in the bucket after the iphone - ppl would have been 'who cares!' about anything else. We all know leopard isn't coming out yet. in another few months...sure. and they had alot of features to cover within the timeframe of his keynote.
i think you'd rather ilife 07 have its own day.
i know it sucks that you've waited this long, but if your need is for business to make money, then go buy one. if not, hang in there chum. all will be well soon enough.
and i agree with another poster...maybe if they could fix itunes 7 first. speed it up a bit etc...

For the iPod I can see this work. But for a laptop? The main advantage of this to an external solution is that they are probably a bit small and thus easier to carry around. But unless you have a very specific use for your laptop, you would always need to take the standard keyboard layout with you and always insert it when you are not running the one program you special keyboard module was designed for. So I guess for most people it is more convenient to have this module as an external solution which can be used in parallel to the normal keyboard.

my pocket drive has firewire, usb and esata connects. remove all for a TB, cost goes down.
Won't happen. Until every computer (and I'm looking at you, el cheapo PCs) has TB, they'll keep putting in everything. Also, TB is an Intel thing so AMD is out. And making (and marketing) stuff just for the Mac creative market has never driven down prices. IIRC, Western Digital were retailing for about a $20 premium over base for identical hard drives that were formatted as HFS+ and had "Mac" on the box.
Prediction: you know that 30-pin connector Apple recently patented, the one that carries USB and Thunderbolt? That'll be the only port on MacBook Airs next year.

Personally I'm excited for it! My wife has a white conversion kit on hers and it looks sweet
As for those saying it's just a different color, what's the big deal. It's the same to some when you drool over new MacBooks that look the same but updated internals.

I have to assume that since Apple just released the 5.5G iPods, that if a 'true' video iPod is released, it will be as a 'super' iPod of sorts. This will be similar to when the iPod photo came out.
This is the only thing that makes sense to me, otherwise, why would apple put so much time between the two 5g releases, only to make them obsolete a month later???
This also makes sense in light of apple bringing down the prices so much with its last update, so that they can make room at the top.
so... who here feels sorry for the zune boys?

I like this law. We should bring it over here to the US
This would never get beyond the First Amendment, even with justices as conservative as Scalia. And rightly so. Clothing is a very basic way to express speech and exercise a religion.
And that's a predominantly muslim country so go figure. Is it wrong for them to ban it too or is it just wrong for france because they're not predominantly muslim?
Turkey passed it's law with a lot more due process and equal protection relative to France. The people who are most affected by this law have a lot less voting power than those whose racist and xenophobic ideology carried this travesty forward.
There is also a big difference between one nation trying to overcome it's history with misogyny and another trying to harshly impose a set of values on certain citizens.
The only part of the law that has any worth is the provision that overbearing men can be held accountable. Even that wreaks of paternalism, but at least it's a first attempt at addressing the root problem rather than just an opening salvo in a new culture war.

iTunes have never been a part of the iLife suite and it have absolutely nothing to do with iLife except for media browser type of deals.
iTunes has been not part of iLife for some time, but "never say never." It was indeed one of the original iLife apps in the first several iterations and included up through iLife '05.

This app is a good thing IMO.
The majority of the time I really don't want to call customer service.
The app makes reporting a lot easier, let's just hope that they look at the data and try to fix the black spots...

If Apple top Google Maps on Android as it is today then hats off to them as Google Maps is fantastic. Im really looking forward to seeing what Apple can do.
Well, Google Maps app on android originated from the one on the iPhone so I think Apple has got full potential to do it.
The only thing they need is data and I am sure they can do a better job than google.

Just curious on what everyones process at BB was. I walked in and signed a sheet of paper with barcodes and a picture of the iPhone 4. I paid 50 for a GC and they put my name down on a list for a 9am appointment on launch day. I just want to see if BB has the same procedures everywhere else.
yes, except they told me they'd give me a call sometime before the 24th as to when i can pick up my phone. it could be on the 24th, but it could also be a later date.

I have thought about my tounge.
I dont think I could do it though. As a kid I had to have the doctor remove a bit of some sort of connective tissue from under my tounge so I could speak properly, guess I had a lisp or something. My under tounge throbbed for a week. Bitting my tounge hurts enough. Plus the fact the tounge is a muscle.
i started with my belly button in college, and then had my tongue pierced 7 years ago. it hurt, but not as much as you'd think. something about expecting the pain versus being surprised by it. in a psychology class in college, a study showed that injuries on the battlefield actually hurt less than injuries from a kitchen accident (on a subjective rating scale). no one expects to get hurt in the kitchen. unless you're really clumsy, i suppose.
the actual needle going through wasn't too bad. it hit right after though like biting your tongue pretty badly. but then it faded, and i was talking (but not quite intelligibly) within a few minutes. and it really didn't bleed much at all. eating was a challenge for a couple of days, and it was heaven to really be able to eat and talk better after the week they make you wait to get a shorter piece of jewelry. they made me start with 1.5 inch stud because your tongue swells at first. i went down to a 3/4 inch stud after that. still a small gauge though. i really have no interest in making the whole in my tongue any larger.
nice piercing, by the way. i like it.
