Love the new shuffle design, how much smaller can they make these things?!?! I feel my fat fingers might struggle.
I was thinking exactly the same thing with the convienience of the old style shuffle, was very handy for popping uni work on and what not, simple plug and go effort. shame that has gone in order to make things smaller.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. The old shuffle was an excellent data key. I'd use it for running in the morning and data during the day. I can't keep my eyes off the shiny new little thing though.
If they bring something out to protect it from the elements when I'm bouncing around the roads on those cold wet sinter mornings we have in wales, then I think my old shuffle is going to make its way to my bro, he broke his a couple of weeks ago.

I am convinced that the interface changes we saw in iTunes are a prelude to 10.7.
I would also go with this.

I've read a little on the subject of Japanese society (The Chrysanthemum and the Sword is good) and visited a few times. I don't have a complete answer, but a couple of points people haven't made yet are:
- Japan is racially and culturally quite pure - with low immigration and a high barrier for immigrants to integrate (the language). Japanese language and culture is not widely spread outside of Japan. This leads to them having a very inward focus, and a high amount of loyalty to their own society. As a Westerner/English speaker, you could disgrace yourself in your own society, yet still find a happy home somewhere culturally similar. For a Japanese person there is no other home - if they disgrace themselves to their fellow Japanese, they risk being ostracised from everything they hold dear. (This is the reasoning given in TCANS for the low surrender rate of Japanese troops in war - a Western army will surrender with 30% dead, for the Japanese 90%+ would have to die, since to surrender would be to disgrace oneself and become ostracised. This is the same reasoning for the Japanese army's poor treatment of prisoners of war in WWII - as the social standing of one who surrenders is very low).
- Having transgressed, Japanese society is happy to throw the book at a suspected criminal - and extends few of the rights arrestees enjoy in the West. Prisoners can be held for 23 days before being charged, the legal system assumes guilt and police have traditionally interrogated in private. When a case reaches trial, there's a >98% conviction rate, and trials have until very recently (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/8181225.stm) all be Judge-only trials (no jury). There's evidence that lenient Judges face career setbacks.
So yes, the Japanese people may be educated, moral, disciplined - but there are also very strong societal pressures to conform, and if a person did loot, they'd expect to be treated extremely severely.
I think you're spot on. I lived in Japan for a while, in a very rural part, and it was like that. For crime, the burden is on the accused to prove innocence, not the other way around like in Western cultures. And there is no search and seizure. If they believe you might have done something, they can search you all they want. If someone was caught with drugs, his phone records would be searched and every single person on that phone list would be searched. In Japan, you really can't get away with a crime. And like you said, your circle of friends and family is all you have in Japan. There's no running away from who you are. If, in a time of crisis, you become a thief, everyone would lose all respect for you. One of my favorite Japanese mma fighters was disowned by his father for failing his high school exit exam. Think about how shameful being a thief would be. And in Japanese culture, fighting on in times of hardship is a very important quality. They sort of see it as a time to show your best. At least that's what I get from watching Japanese mma fighters.

Since FCP will be editing everything natively (and I assume that means all sorts of AVCHD files), ironically that means many of us won't need the super high speed Thunderbolt drives.
AVCHD files top out at 24 Mbps (or thereabouts), and since this is around the bitrate of DV, ye olde FW800 drives should be fine for external storage. Internal storage should be fine - 10 hours of footage will only take 130 GB or so.
i don't really see TB as a need (atm) for faster transport speeds, i see it as a "hub" that can take any external devise and send it down the same pipe, eventually eliminating usb 2/3, esata, firewire. of course this magic breakout box i speak of doesn't exist yet :)
my pocket drive has firewire, usb and esata connects. remove all for a TB, cost goes down.
opens the door for uncompressed or "less compressed" video formats, more color space, etc.

I have no idea what you are trying to achieve since no matter how much you try to justify it or post false specs and prices, it won't make the SP Mac Pro any better value. It costs a lot more than Dell's equivalent. Period.
Better value is the sum of Hardware + Operating System + Software = Performance
Paper spec used to interest me at one time too, then I grew up. ;)

End of June makes sense... but it does not make sense that they would not announce (as they have before) at the WDC? But, maybe focus on SW at the WDC makes sense to build value to the new iOS5 and Lion? Might mean that iOS5 is more significant than we expect to deserve such a spotlight?

From what I've seen of it on cars, carbon fiber is quite susceptible to scratching, and scratches can look very prominent. ., but IMO not a replacement for unibody aluminum.
Err aluminum is susceptible to scratching.. have you not notice. I'm sure if Apple decides to use carbon fiber it will be well though out product. I'm looking forward this.

It could have a secular constitution at the beginning, but constitutions can be changed and thrown out if the wrong people gain too much power. Islam is a threat to secularism when they gain large numbers and political power.So is Orthodox Judaism, but guarantees can be written into the constitution.

I have to disagree. I doubt she was knowingly placing herself in harm's way. Jumping on the hood of a vehicle is dramatic, but I doubt she expected her husband to start driving, much less at speeds of 100 mph. As he started moving, she probably expected him to stop briefly to let her off; instead he just kept driving faster and faster.
Unless she could reasonably foresee her husband driving on the freeway at 100 mph with her still on the hood, then she did not "knowingly place herself in harm's way." And I don't think his actions were reasonably foreseeable by any means.
Besides, let's say for example that Spouse A is holding a gun, and Spouse B jumps in front of the gun to prevent "A" from shooting his/her favorite Ming Dynasty Vase (it's a priceless original, after all). Spouse A shoots anyway, killing Spouse B. ...Who's to blame? Spouse A for pulling the trigger, or Spouse B for protecting their vase? Even if standing in front of a gun is "stupid," I think it hardly fair to hold Spouse B accountable for Spouse A's actions of pulling the trigger.
It simply isn't acceptable to try to kill your wife, and that's exactly what this man did.
If a husband wanted to leave and his wife blocked the car, then you walk. You call a cab, take a bus, call a friend. You don't drive at speeds of 100 mph with her on the hood, unless stopping endangers your life as well (but nothing in the story indicates this to be the case). It's an inexcusable action, regardless of the circumstances.
The guy has some substance abuse problems, so how could she jump on a car and not think she was putting herself in harms way? A rational person might not drive with his wife on the hood, but this guy some history of drugs; which she obviously knows about. Add anger in the mix, and nothing good will come of it.
If the woman was willing to jump on a car, do you really think she would have let him walk away? She would have jumped on the cab, or flagged the bus down. Who knows? He could have made the situation worse by getting out of the car. The point is...he was trying to leave the situation and she wouldn't let him.
The guy is probably going to plead or be found guilty of attempted murder...but if she just let him leave, and stayed off the hood of the darned car, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

This is nothing new to Apple. They wouldn't have pulled it just cause some bozos posted about it on this board or other boards. It's been known for YEARS that you could do this.

I watched it yesterday, but it was off can on.
Phil is a really nice guy and I like him, but I don't like him as a presenter. I was SJ did the whole thing. However I don't think he was ready, and that have the other 3 help were a last minute thing which is why they were all kind of off.
Haveing that french guy talking about vista was a really bad choise. I could not understand what he was saying.
I also did not like it when Jobs was reading what to do.
Hopefully Paris will make up for these things.
I'm totally with you on the french dude, also is eyes looked shifty, could have just been a poor stream, but him and Phil just looked to anxious on stage... Phil was much more suited to the iChat lol
But SJ reading the notes, you gotta bear in mind that was an 1.5hour presentation, and with the busy schedule he has, you gotta cut him some slack.
Finally the other dude, can't remeber his name who helped to present OSX.5, Time Machine etc, I actually thought he was very good, and I got a good vibe from him, he felt so into everything he was doing and showing, now whether thats because he's a good presenter or whtther he is truly into Apples, well lets hope its the latter if SJ steps down, I think he gots the ambition to push Apple along...
But long live the king!
Cheers

I have no idea what kind of point you think you are making to this thread. Nobody has ever argued that laptops aren't a compromise. You seemed to argue earlier that some will always hate the 11" (for example no matter how much resolution it will be bad). I made the point that depending on what exactly the tradeoff is (storage versus resolution, etc...) that this will change who wants the 11" and doesn't.
If you are going to argue a point, you should actually have a point to make in mind. I have no idea what you think you are trying to say here. You're trying to say it's personal preference? Of course! Nobody here has ever said there is only one "right" answer.
Hate is a strong word and I didn't use it, but I am arguing that the 11" brought the MBA to the forefront of a conversation. Remember when the first Air was released? Wasn't there a big consensus that: "Yeah, so what?" I'm saying that would still be the general consensus if Apple only refreshed the 13". Size, weight, and to the OP's point, "invitingness" matter. For me and many others, the MBA is finally where it always should have been.
Now, go back and read the first post.

Budweiser, Miller, PBR, Old Style, Lone Star, etc. are all very similar. They are great to drink after any strenuous exercise, running, biking, etc. In fact, I defy you name any type of beer that is better to drink, afterward. The "lightness" of those type of beers is what makes them ideal. They are very refreshing.
