having a product capable of influencing millions to abandon their carrier of choice for AT&T is no small thing
It's impressive that the iPhone is doing so well in the face of the continual public bashing that AT&T is always taking. Does the iPhone have such allure that people are willing to switch to an inferior carrier just to own the device? That itself is pretty amazing.
If that mythical Verizon iPhone does appear in Apple will pretty much own the US smartphone market.

(1) In regards to Excel, the program has become the industry standard kind of by default more than anything. If you look back through it's "history", Excel really hasn't changed much since the beginning. Sure, the interface is better, and the introduced more comprehensive Macros and other crap that just makes it confusing for most users, but the structure and base features are exactly the same. Frankly, the only features that are worrysome when sending Excel documents via email are the Macros, and those don't even work properly from computer to computer, let alone across different programs (ie. Excel to "Lasso"). So, long story short, I'm very excited to see what Apple comes up with and really don't think interoperability will be an issue at all.
(2) In regards to Pages, and the complaints I've seen on here about it, let's not forget that in the world of software, iWork is a BABY. MS Office has been around forever, whereas Pages is only a few years old. And frankly, it already works light years better than Word could ever dream to. If you've ever attempting to do anything in Word other than type, you know it is so chock full of bugs and quirks that by the end of your project you'd rather write it out free hand.
So bring on Lasso, and Pages '07. I can not WAIT to delete office from my Mac and be done with everything that has that dirty M-word on it forever.
That is all.

Yep seeing these all over campus now, I'm hoping Apple takes some design cues from the Air and adds them to the MBPs, aka no DVD drive and instead fit a dedicated graphics card in the 13in model and remove the glass screen.

If I were to return it and wait for the 3G to arrive from Apple, would I be able to use GPS on the iPad2 3G/WiFi without using the 3G data service, and just tether data from my iphone 3G?

CD-RW, not CD-RX. I'm sorry:o It says "Burning the disk failed because this type of CD is not supported. Error: 0x80020043. What am I doing?
Oh, okay, no problem. :)
Has it been written to already by another computer, or is this the first time? If so, you may need to use Disk Utility (in the Utilities folder) to erase the disc first.
Otherwise, it could just be a weird difference between your drive and that disc brand...and you might need to try a different brand. That's a strange thing, but I've heard of it happening once in a rare while.... :(
EDIT: There's also the possibility mentioned above by CanadaRAM, but as far as Apple History says, the iMac went straight from CD to CD-RW....

very interesting, now have to figure out how to create one... thanks for sharing...
Tripod is a must.
I take a photo with the desired effect like motion blur.
take a video clip. (i use a nikon d3100 with 1080p video at 24fps)
Use quicktime to select a section of the video for the motion, copy and paste to a new clip and "export as image sequence"
Now, in photoshop, resize the original image to match the size of the video frames.
overlay the individual frames, delete everything within the frames that you don't want to be moving
create individual animation frames and export as a GIF

I'll be posting the pictures later on tonight. I'm currently at work and don't have access to them. As regards the finish I did it myself and it really helps. As you know the chrome scratches extremely easy.

As far as the guarantees go, this is what I see at negrielectronics.com (http://negrielectronics.com/apple-iphone-unlocking-service-permanent-solution.html) right now:
Your iPhone is now unlocked permanently!
Unlocked. Permanent. 100% Guaranteed or your money back*.
Your order may require verification. Please look for an email from us to further verify your order. This is a high fraud item and we take every precaution and approach fraud very seriously.
*(If the unlock is not successful, please email us a video link showing your IMEI and the unlock being unsuccessful).
**To deter possible fraud, we also reserve the right to remotely lock your device by IMEI
That's awfully tempting...they accept major CCs. You could always dispute the charge...
This is what is scary about this new unlocking avenue. Obviously someone has access to Apple's DB and from this statement, it seems like the access they have allows the to lock it. This means they could lock anyone's iPhone at anytime, even factory unlocked units. Even the carriers do not have this level of access. I was told by the Rogers unlocking team, that they could unlock but could not relock any phones...only Apple had that access. These unlockers have greater access to the Apple systems than the carriers do (already obvious, since they can unlock multiple carriers and the carriers can only unlock their own).

Will they still go on with Messenger 6.0? Seeing as how they are crying about WWDC?
I think they will, as AFAI can tell, they announced this at WWDC.

You might still be ok. I've been able to save my SHSH even the next day in the past but best not chance it. Do it asap.

Really Apple? Your marketing department didn't tell you that if you made the Logic 10 app 64 bit compatible, more people would buy it? Someone's head is gonna roll for this amazing lack of profiteering! :D

Huh - I've never wanted a pure color in the background, so I've never tried the "solid colors" option.
My assumption would be that the selections available are Apple's way of:
a) Discouraging people from making their background Windows Green.
b) Discouraging primary colors that might make passersby say "it is just a toy".
My recommendation - Photoshop is overkill. Open AppleWorks, make a square with no border (of any color you choose). SaveAs JPEG, change the color, SaveAs JPEG, change the color, SaveAs JPEG - and dump them all in a folder you create called "colors". Then you'll forever have a folder of swatches that you can view in the Desktop preference pane. A half hour of work, and you'll have exactly the ease of switching colors you were looking for.

I think I am confused about something. I thought I heard that MWSF was on January 7th, which is today. I keep hearing something about the keynote on Tuesday, unless I am misunderstanding something.
Are these two seperate events? Is anything happening today?
What the hell is going on?
My socks don't match.
Thanks to whoever clears this up for me. :)

I'm curious too... I'm down at the best buy in Orem but they haven't even got their shipment yet :-S So if it's not too bad I might head up.
That would be the worst if they don't get there shipment. If your the only one there then maybe stay but if not just come to the Gateway.

I've never understood the argument against the Air because of it's lack of DVD drive. I have no idea when the last time was I used mine, and it takes up a massive amount of space and weight on my MacBook.

My zoogue came in the mail yesterday. Just from holding it, it seems it is about the same weight as the iPad. Good quality all around.
The only complaint I have is that the cover is not held together by magnets. Meaning when I close it, it puts the iPad asleep, but if something bumps it and it moves 15 deg. or so and the iPad wakes up. Little magnets would prevent this.
This complaint is a very small one. Just make sure when you sit it down that it is closed properly.

Nice. I was getting so annoyed at the guys in the tukwila thread talking about how cool they are.
I'll be there. 12:00 AM? I'm a black friday veteran but I think you may be overestimating things a tad. I'll be there at three.
I saw people setting up camp the night before at 9:00 PM. I don't want to be that far towards the end and besides I'm going to be working while camping out so it's win/win :)
