FYI, for those that say "who cares about Walmart" there is this little fact (of which I'm not going to sight a source because I'm busy at work).
Walmart sells 40% of all DVDs sold in the US.
Think about that. Of all the places that sell DVDs, of all the places people go, 4 of every 10 is bought at walmart. That is ridicules power, and not something the studios will just gloss over. They will make sure they know what they are doing before making steps forward. Maybe it won't matter at all, but it isn't a number to just ignore.

So...are you on VZW? Do you actually have a care in this matter, or is it just another way to rant on others?
AT&T still has people on $30 unlimited because they are grandfathered in. So will VZW, if they actually change the plans.
I read my Verizon TOS. Then I called since I am considering adding a line. Unfortunately they don't grandfather their plans. However after I spoke with a supervisor, I understand how they have their data only, structured. It's very smart of them, designed to make money for Verizon, without adding complications for the customer.
In the ten years I've been with them about the only drawback is they do tend to be the most expensive. But you get what you pay for. So now I'm clear that unlimited is month to month and can be eliminated at any time. I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

I am professional editor. I get paid to edit. I just dont edit giant films. I think there is a little discrediting going on for what makes a professional editor.
I was in a discussion a year ago about all the new features that just got released. In the days of yesteryear, editor (film wise) would cut the film, then once they had a locked picture, they would add audio, color the film, sound effects and score.
However, a year ago during a project I found myself very angry at the way FCP was functioning given the way editors have to edit today. I have been a big FCP user for years and consider myself very experience on the software. I refer to the editing style of today, which is also being done in feature film editorial, that you are no longer just the film/video editor. YOU ARE the sound designer, the colorist, the composer, and the technician, at least at a basic level.
I feel that 10 years ago you would show a "rough" cut that was 50% done, no audio effects, color, or score, just the cuts and clients were possible able to get it. However today I feel that a rough cut needs to look more like 95% done. Many times when I show a client a piece of footage that doesnt look like an almost finished product, they get concerned on the final piece, even when you explain that is a rough cut.
So now that a lot of editor are having to show cuts that are almost done to get notes, the actual act of editing has become a nightmare to me. I have to move sounds, scores, titles, overlays, graphics all out of the way to make the simplest edit. Half the time, something gets moved that isnt supposed to. causing extra work. And I will be honest, sometimes, (which I know we all do....) I say good enough, because the actual act of moving a giant timeline around is just too painful.
well not anymore (hopefully)
I want the freedom that this FCPX with hopefully provide. It seems to be changing with how many of us are going to have to start editing.
And of course one final thought. A good editor is a good editor, it is an art. Just because someone is an "expert" on AVID, PP, FCP doesnt mean they are an good editor. Same as someone who knows how to put paint on canvas isnt necessarily Van Gogh.
I think this version will help us tell stories easier and more efficient. It is still up to the editor what he/she will do with the tool.
Nicely put.

There's been a debate for years over the differences in users between Mac & PC. One postulation is that Mac people are more savvy and personable, and will do something like walk over to a girl and offer up an ear bud, while the PC person would be too socially awkward to do that. Hence the difference in Jobs' idea of "sharing" vs. Bill Gates' version. One is social, the other mechanical.
Whether it's a true stereotype is up for grabs, but I can't help thinking that Billy hates Steve for being the "cool kid" even after becoming the richest person in the world.
Haha, that's the best part. And it's so true! Walk your ass over to that girl and sit next to her and share your music with her. Screw this "beaming it over" nonsense.

There are still more than 500 Radio Shack's left? Can't believe they're not out of business yet lol!
I've been asking that question for years. I have NO idea how they're pulling it off. They're not growing, in fact they're shrinking. I remember when they actually sold TVs and receivers and all sorts of stuff. Now, yeah, I go there for the odd connector or cable or electrical tools...or on occasion, specialty batteries like CMOS batteries. That's it and only then because Frys is too far away for such a small purchase.
Them selling iPad 2 makes me wonder who approached whom. Was Radio Shack desperate to carry it or is Apple trying to offload the management from its own stores?
So Walmart is full of obese hillbillies?

I could cause the antenna to lose all its bars by placing my one finger on the antenna... Thats ridiculous. And anyone who has one, on the At&T network and says "I've never dropped a call" is a fanboi in the worst way and flat out lying. All my iPhones, - and even non-iPhones - on AT&T's network drop calls period, all the time. Even if the antenna design was perfect on the iPhone 4, it would drop calls because of At&T's network, so yea... I don't believe that in a second.
Not to mention all the problems people were having with the screen, and the proximity sensors... and thats all I can think of off the top of my head. I'm sure there is/was more. Also, I refused to buy another iPhone that didn't have more than 32 GB of space, since I'm currently maxing out the capacity on my current 32 GB iPhone. Thus, I decided not to upgrade to avoid dealing with all that. Really, the 4 was just problems and a few spec increases. The increased resolution of the display means nothing to me without a larger screen, and the 3GS was fast enough at the time. The one and only thing that I would have enjoyed is the bump in RAM.
Also, design-wise, I'd take the original iPhone over any of the others. It's too bad the AL causes havoc with radio signals. I would think someone who supposedly had all the iPhones would agree. And at least not think it looked like a "toy".
Good thing your not a designer, since when you designed crap and people called you out on it you'd be offended. :rolleyes: You'd probably not be able to emotionally handle it.
And I 100% know what I'm talking about. Because I have an Anti-Apple opinion doesn't mean I'm ill-informed and I don't know what I'm talking about. I've worked on and dealt with enough electronics to have an informed opinion.
Well I've owned a few iphones and I've dropped less calls with the iP4 than the others.
No issues with the screen, which is by far and away the #1 reason its better than any before it. There is no question in my mind that its the best phone I've used extensively, and without question (IMO, that is) better than any iPhone before it.
Original iPhone was the best form factor though, the feel of it was so much better than the iPhone 4.
Even given that its just your opinion, to say its a POS, is simple hyperbole, and discredits any argument you may have that it is not as good as its predecessors.

Yes almost every release in the Beatles era was intended for mono. Stereo releases were made years later and the wide effect was partly due to the fact that these songs were mastered from 2 tracks and because the music was recorded to one track and the vocals to the other, well there was no really other way to get stereo...
Not true.
The stereo mixes were contemporaneous with the mono releases...it's just that no one cared enough to put any thought into them.
Music is mastered from 2 track mixes (unless you're making surround masters, in which case you'd mix from 6 tracks or more). This hasnt changed to this day. Stereo was commerically available starting from the late 1950s, but almost no one had players that could handle it. So the mixes were done in mono, with stereo as an afterthought. For this reason, many of the mono mixes are superior to the stereo, although people now assume that the CD releases are the de facto standard, when in fact it was a conscious decision to release the stereo versions of every album from Help! onward.

Alright we have quite a few postings that are merely mindless rage being evoked out of 2 word sentences. Here are my thoughts about this whole situation without starting a sentence with "F" and ending it with "!!!!!".....
-I think people will still want to have that physical DVD before abandoning it for digital files for some time. I now that it took me about a year and a half before I stopped buying CD's since the launch of the Music Store. Granted that was fueled mostly by the albums not being on iTunes, but now that is hardly the case.
-Are or are not the quality of the iTunes movies subpar compared to the actual DVD's? This I have not heard an actual fact based answer about yet.
-Ready to crucify me? You will after this statement. Wal-Mart is a major reason that this country has not seen a full blown inflation over the course of the last 10 years. Yes, the cost of some things has risen, but when you look across the board the actual rise has not been as bad as in the past. Wal-Mart's aggressive style of pricing, while hurting manufacturers in some cases, has helped keep prices in check with other stores. Think about it, why would you go over to the chain grocery store to buy a 2 liter of Pepsi for $1.50 when you can get it for $1.00 at Wal-Mart? I have seen more and more sales at grocery stores that are matching Wal-Mart's everyday prices. That is good for my household.
Yes I know that Wal-Mart's use of labor is not the model of wholesome remotely, but the people that work at Wal-Mart are not necessarily the ones that would be lawyers, doctors or managers anyways. Society needs people to do jobs that everyone doesn't want to do. Does someone grow up saying that they WANT to be a janitor at McDonalds? Using that philosophy, does anyone grow up wanting to be that cashier at Wal-Mart? Probably not, but someone has to do it. And unfortunately, there are a lot of bad or not so nice things that come with those jobs. I personally would love to be a Wal-Mart greeter in Florida when I retire.
-I don't buy Music or Movies at Wal-Mart because of their censorship program that they have had in place for many years. I don't know if they still have it, but I remember that Wal-Mart actually made of the CD vendors make a "clean" version of the latest album because they did not want to sell it with explicit lyrics on it a few years back. No no no no.... I have enough people out there from senators to mothers groups making it harder for me to get the unedited music, movies and video games in life that I want. I don't need the store making that choice for me also.
I don't think Wal-Mart would actually pull a stunt like this with Hollywood and Apple, but if they did start throwing punches I would be very happy to go over to the competition over at Super Target. But that would then start another argument about Target's employee practices.... ;)

yes all that I wanted in my imac. VRAM memory bumped to 256 would have been great but I appreciate more the price drop. I was going to buy a 20" (glad I haven�t yet) but know who knows.
Here in Honduras, the only authorized mac reseller in my city had the last 20" for US$2052 (in Honduras, computers are sales tax free), I wonder if they will apply the full $300 rebate. If they use the same margins the 24" should be around US$2250. Still not bad since I was going to pay US$2000 for it. The only problem with them is that they dont give you the option to customize your mac.
So if I go with either the 20" or the 24" I win both ways! Thanks Apple.
Now how long will I have to wait to they have them here? BTW They sold all of their 17 and 20 imacs nationwide and they said that they were waiting for a shipment of new models.:)
I will be a happy camper this christmas!

I seriously doubt this is a major concern ATM for home users with secured wifi access points (and by that, I mean wifi APs that filter MAC addresses). In order for someone to use this exploit, they would undoubtedly have to be on your network..
I thought the point of their claim was that you don't have to be connected to ANY network. As long as the wireless is on (and not necessarily connected to anything), they can connect to the computer.
Whether or not it's true is a separate matter, but it's what they're claiming.

Surely Apple can't combine everything into something like (this) Or can they?
...Everything from 100% full screen to virtual keys, to selecting different modalities depending on orientation(!), to sensitivity to force of touch, to squeezing, to miniDVD drive, to ....
the exciting part is how do-able this seems to be. My Treo has a touch sensitive screen. The whole screen can view photos. Or, depending on which other mode you're in--phone dialing? contact search?--a touch on a part of the screen might dial a "2" or select a single contact and display its data; squeezing's already incorporated into the mighty mouse; some of the other features, like different responses depending upon how many fingers touch the screen, already operate on the MBP and MB touchpads, and the linking of different modes (a la phone and contact/pda are already linked on my Treo. Etc., etc.
In fact, maybe the question might be how different the apple patent is from what the Treo does: The treo screen displays icons that can be selected by touch to select a contact manager, or a phone mode, or picture viewer, or web browser, etc., and in each of those modes the various sections of the screen display touch-sensitive choices unique to that mode.
At any rate, I don't know if this multi-featured device is the subject of apple's sept 12 announcement. But i think apple has the potential to incorporate the features of this patent into hugely significant new device(s). The applications are all too obvious. I hope they do. Steve Jobs has always seemed disinclined to offer any product that's just a lot like existing hardware, thus the lack of an iPhone. The ability to incorporate phone and music player and video viewer and....(?) create the opportunity for apple to again be a pioneer--to introduce to us products we didn't realize we wanted, or that do things others had done but in dramatically better ways--as he did with the iPod.

Reception to the original iPod launch was mixed. Our own forum responses (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=500) are interesting to look back on, 10 years later.
Interesting indeed! Several forum members where asking for further development of Newton instead... a device that could possibly do everything digital... optical out... and so on. And here we go, only then year after we have these portable iDevices, so no need the iPod anymore. But I can operate the iPod without the need of looking at it, thanks to the scroll-weel, a truly revolutionary and easy to operate interface, yet to be really replaced (more like irreplaceable) by the touch one.

As for those people with Verizon iPhone:
I'm pretty sure Verizon got a copy of 4.3.1 and decided not to release it for their customers. It's usually up to the carrier to test and okay any OS on their network. Verizon has always been the slowest in doing so; it's probably a good thing because the OS on their phones are for the most part very solid.
Unlikely. (http://daringfireball.net/linked/2011/03/09/ios-43) Apple doesn't let the carriers have that kind of control.

Unlikely. (http://daringfireball.net/linked/2011/03/09/ios-43) Apple doesn't let the carriers have that kind of control.

Now that the MBs have been updated and the US Apple Online Store is still down, I hope that the RAM prices have been cut. :rolleyes:
It sucks I gotta return my 4 day old MB for a new one but I would pay $140 more if it means getting a better MB that can last one more year (or more). :D

And Firefight is my number one seed, I just wish death had a bigger penalty.
Firefight is great fun, especially Score Attack. I play the crap out of that. There was another playlist update today, tweaking Firefight, along with some other things. They have bumped regular Firefight up from 1 round to a full set, so that is nice. Also, Bungie mentioned in an update recently that they were going to probably down the road add in a "Firefight Classic" mode to Matchmaking. That would be like it was in ODST, where your team has a limited number of lives for the team. They also said they will probably be adding a Legendary difficulty option as well, so that will bump up the challenge quite a lot.
I really hoping Microsoft re-releases Halo 1 and 2, using the reach engine.
Halo Anthology, with all 5 games, all updated using the Reach engine. Believe! ;)

Android Phone Specs are out pacing the Iphone. An 8 Megapixel camera, bigger screen and more memory will keep me buying. IOS 5 with the rumored adobe flash would be great too.
Except the 8mp on every single Andriod phone I've seen produces significantly worse images than the iPhone. ESPECIALLY in low light.

I seriously doubt this is a major concern ATM for home users with secured wifi access points (and by that, I mean wifi APs that filter MAC addresses). In order for someone to use this exploit, they would undoubtedly have to be on your network..
