I'm not sure how Apple can be disappointed with iPhone's CDMA numbers. First of all, it took far too long for the iPhone to go CDMA. Apple was foolish to sign a 5 year exclusivity agreement with AT&T in a market where technology can be turned upside down in 12 months. Did Apple really think there would be no competition within that 5 year time frame?
Apple handed market share to Android, and continues to do so with its 1+ year product update cycles. Look, Apple, this is what frustrated us when you were using Motorola chips in the Mac - you blamed Motorola for your update cycles because they were not improving the G4/G5 series processors. Then you switched to Intel, which improved the update cycle a bit for iMacs and MacBooks.
Apple's competitors update their products twice a year. The Xoom is going to have a successor in a few months. Look at how quickly Android smartphones are being updated with the latest and greatest technology. Apple just can't sit still while their competition is grinding out one great product after another. Eventually people will see past cosmetic UI differences and go with the phone their friend has, or what their family uses, etc., and that is quickly going to be Android.
Apple stock is down almost 3% today, not sure if it's because of the news or profit taking among shareholders, but it's definitely something to watch. All the analysts are predicting their stock to go to $400-$500, but with Android gaining so much traction I fail to see how this is possible.
I wanted very much to buy an iPad 2. But after seeing the dismal display and camera quality in person, and the fact that it didn't offer anything new or exciting over the iPad 1, I decided to wait for the Android tablets to hit in force and compare them to iPad 3. All I can say to Apple is that the iPhone 5 and iPad 3 better blow us all away, and they better be more than just incremental updates. If all we get this year is an iPhone 4S, Apple is going to lose this battle.
For Apple, the future rests with iOS 5. It better be good.

Nooooooooo! Bertrand was my favorite SVP, no corporate BS spewing from his mouth, just good old honesty and genuine pride about how great things were and how bad everyone else was :) I will forever miss his accent at the keynotes. I'm guessing they asked him to talk in a keynote about the 'magic' of Lion, so he left in pursuit of science!
Yes, I believe he has a glass eye.
A glass eye with a rose color lens... :rolleyes:
Amen to his comical French accent MS Roast's at Apple OS Keynotes... I'll miss too. All the best to your future, Bertrand.

sorry, but i don't know how to do that.
you might want to chjeck sites like versiontracker.com to see if they have something for that. there are things so you can have different iPhoto and iTunes libraries, so i dont see why they cant do something for iCal.

That chill in the air means two things: the holidays are approaching, and the height of sports gambling season is upon us. The upcoming slate of college bowl games, the Super Bowl, and March Madness always warms the heart of even the casual gambler.
But this year, techies can get in on the fun. A sports betting site called Bodog.com is taking bets on the launch date for Apple's long-rumored iPhone. Bodog's using the money line system to gauge whether Apple will introduce the iPhone by the end of April or whether it will introduce the product at January's MacWorld conference.
For example, if you think Apple's going to launch the iPhone by April 30, you need to wager $150 to win $100. That means Bodog considers that likelihood as the favorite, while a launch after that date (or no launch) would win $110 on a $100 bet. Based on the odds quoted by Bodog, it's even more likely that Apple will annouce the "impending release" of the iPhone at January's MacWorld. A wager of $280 on that possibility is required to take home $100.
We think Bodog should consider additional wagers, such as: Will Steve Jobs come out at MacWorld wearing his traditional black mock turtleneck or something different, like the button-down shirt he sported at Apple's Showtime event earlier this year? But, as usual, nobody asked. Since nobody's asking for our sports picks either, Crave likes Ohio State over USC in the Fiesta Bowl, San Diego's high-powered offense exposing Rex Grossman and the Bears in the Super Bowl, and North Carolina to bring the hardware back to Chapel Hill.

When it comes to Samsung, Apples out of its league.
Given the terrific success of the pads & phones, this attack on Samsung by Apple is quite out of place.
Any resemblance between a Galaxy and iPhone is to Apples advantage anyway. Yet that said, Jobs has always been highly paranoid.

Original? :)
I found it today via Google. The original is 1280x1024 though, so if you want it for widescreen, you have to edit it.

I shoot with a canon HV30 which imports as HDV1080i
Will that format be friendly to both editing suites?
Here's the catch tho.
because i shoot in the 24p mode I have to reverse telecine in and because I edit in FCP 99% of the time, I convert it to prores. Does premiere play nice with prores?

I'm hoping mymemory's post is tongue in cheek, as edesignuk has been, to date, exemplary in his duties, without losing that sense of humour we all know and expect.
The mods here have done a great job in making MacRumors the most friendly and useful forum site I know of, and I hope us n00bie mods can carry on that work.
If everyone stayed within the rules, our job would be easy, but we have rules to observe too, and that is going to make us unpopular with some individuals some of the time.
It's OK, it's part of the job as far as I'm concered, I know I'm helping a forum that has been a great place to hang out over the years, and I know the other mods, mini or otherwise, feel the same.
Thanks for all your comments, helpful or otherwise, it shows what this place means to us.

How many people here want to choose to get tons of junk mail delivered to their house?
Raise your hand if you'd take that option.
Serious quesion. If most posters here raise their hands then I'll shut up and say you were right.
Not me I don't want to share my info with anyone unless I Opt IN.

Google has become aware of the interest in the word "petabyte." Made me think that Google truly has its finger on the pulse of the world because what is the first thing people do when they hear about something and want more information? They Google it. Seems like, in the way meteorologist predict the weather, based largely on past experiences from which they derive predictions, that Google will soon be able to predict what you are going to enter as your query and instead will simply offer you the answer when you load the Google page instead. And, I'm not even kidding when I think about this to myself.

Here. I always like the home cloud concept, where you get your own personal server and can transfer data/sync through the cloud. So you own your data instead of trusting it to someone else.
I'm moving in the opposite direction. I ran my own server for years. Now my web site resides on App Engine and my data will be backed up off site. Much less hastle than before.

My last exposure to Notes was 12 yrs ago. We hated it. After 5 yrs, my then company decided to move to Exchange to much hype that it would be a lot better.
It wasn't. I still miss the days of Notes. I've since moved on to two different companies, each of whom have used Exchange. Not once has the Exchange implementation been any better than I remember Notes being more than 7 years previous.
But I will face facts. Notes lost the battle - it is a dead platform for all intents and purposes. As went 1-2-3, so went Notes. It's a shame really because Exchange/Outlook is so terrible, that you'd think anyone with a modicrum of experience could trump it without even trying really hard.
I mean, really, do you need 80% of one of my CPU cores to look up a name in an address book? And how large does the memory footprint of an e-mail app need to be? I often have to shut down Outlook just so compiles will complete in less time. But that will never get better now, because there is no one to push them.
