The phone looks good but I don't like the seeing the sensor like that all the time. This whole is that a parking lot or is he driving debate, I can't really tell but I do see his RPM meter not at zero looks like it's close to 10 so he could be idle somewhere?
It's a parking lot and the shot was obviously taken when the sun is still far above the horizon.

you can compare files/directories with filemerge, built into 10.6
It comes with the developer tools and it doesn't help when copying files. I would like a baked in Finder solution.

Hi all,
So far, the average temperature reported by smcFanControl and Fan Control Pref panel is between 47-49 degrees C. Close to what i was getting before EXCEPT.... the Fan Seems to be going off consistantly at 1595-1600rpm. I wonder if one of the changes is the thresholds?
For me, prior to the EFI update, when the Temp hit 50-51, the RPMs would slowly climb from 1500 and would drop back down relatively quickly... once the machine dropped below 50.
i've noted for the last two-three hours, that the above pattern (staying at 1600RPM) has been the case. And no I have not changed my minimum speed to 1600...
:confused:

My company has ~80% of its' workforce in the field. For the most part (~75%), they have not had direct contact with their main office. If I were to hazard a guess, 1/3 of these employees would benefit (or the company would) from being connected. One of my current projects is to automate our field operations.
Email would be the first obvious application, but near real-time data collection would be of even more benefit to the Company. So, I have scaled down some applications, which run decently in a Citrix shell, and at the current Cingular bandwidth. Recently, I have been looking at various tablet PC's and small footprint laptops. I am surprised by how few attractive products there are and/or how much they cost. The price/performance ratio is absolutely dreadful.
I have been asking myself why no one seems to be really jumping out to capture this market. Granted, there are some players out there, but nothing to really wow you. Then I started remembering some of the rumors I have read here, some of the patent applications and job descriptions for engineers specializing in the various technologies associated with this type of product.
I wonder if Apple is getting ready to pounce on this? It is right up their alley. Any opinions?

With the way that screeshots end up in the public eye from these Dev releases, does anyone think that this is all that 10.5 will have to show us? Apple knows leaks like this are going to happen, so we're not really seeing the "good stuff" yet. AKA: Top Secret features. ;)
I agree. I think there's going to be some significant changes to the Finder, and they haven't included any of those with the developer releases. I'm definitely looking forward to the "good stuff"! :D

3D audio cues? How would you get anything above 1D audio cues?
Stereo speakers. Most of use can tell if a sound is in front of us or behind or above or below and we only have two ears. You can make 3D recording with ony two channles but the playback geometry has to be near perfect. Synthetic sound cues are not recordings and it need not be perfect to work. All it would have to convey is any one of six basic directions and the users will all be trained to listen for it carfully and wiling to set up the speakers in exact locations. It might be helpfull to someone who is blind. I know some one who is and he can sometimes tell who enters a room and from where before the person speaks. If this is the target user then it need not be perfect or even natural sounding

I would just like to report that I received iPad #4 last night - no problems, looks beautiful and zero light leakage, also passed the dead or stuck pixel test so I'm very happy. Genius bar and the people at local Apple store were extremely helpful even adding "if you still have any problems in a couple months just bring it back and we'll exchange at that time"
I didn't wait in any lines whatsoever, iPad was ordered online right when they went on sale so I received shipment fairly quickly with iPad #1. It was just good customer service by the "Genius" working for me.
That's good to hear -- sorry for my assumptions. I think I was just a bit too worn from everybody swearing up and down that their iPhone 4 was dropping calls more than their other smart phones that I couldn't help but think "here we go again" when this light leakage thing started coming out. Honestly, some of those light leakage photos in the thread are no worse (and often better) than many LCD monitors I have owned. Some of them are pretty darn bad though. I'm glad to hear that Apple took care of it. Again, my apologies.
On the bright side... just think you have owned 4 iPad 2's in a time period that most folks have yet to get one. :)

Thats because many, many people purchase Apple computers for the same reason they buy designer jeans or luxury cars- they want to be SEEN with it. ... And you can find most of them in public attempting to "strut their stuff".
LOL.
That probably explains the white ear buds as well.

Perhaps iLife 07 will see some major enhancements and as a result, be released in tandem with Leopard to capitallize on certain functionality/integration. :cool:
i hope so, os x should include ilife 07 on the os x install dvd. Not just with new computers.

Exactly. Its called being a kid. Luckily, you'll age out of it. Until then, suck it up and get used to it.
Exactly, you're a child, a minor, a non-voter, you have no adult rights and the reason you're still at school is to learn...
If your IT admin who understand the network, administer the network and have to fix all the problems caused by students that don't know much at all, then they are well within their right (as adults, teachers, professionals) to do what they ned to to protect the investment in their infrastructure.
Consider it a learning experience, these people know more than you.
I'm sure if you ask nicely they'll give it back.

+1. I still love my Macs and iPod, but Apple has been a huge letdown in the last year. It's just another gigantic corporation.
Apple is able to provide AFFORDABLE cool stuff because it IS a gigantic corporation. It's a success story. Their products keep getting better and cheaper. Ever since they started getting venture capital in the late 1970s, Apple was a big, multi-million dollar company. Now, because it hasn't lost its focus on the customer, it has become a multi-billion dollar corporation.
They are a publicly held company and must answer to their shareholders. People who love Apple products, yet hate large corporations make no sense. It is big corporations that bring us these things.

I want it in late June, early July at the most. This Autumn rumor is really peeing me off. Think I may even queue up for this one. Actually I won't. There'll be local press at the Apple Store and the last thing I need is to be caught on film standing in line like a total douche with a bunch of other douches!:rolleyes:
why does it make you a douche to wait in line for one of the most coveted devices in the world so you dont have to wait weeks to get it??? I for one wont do it, but i dont blame those who do...im just going to order ASAP so i dont have to wait weeks to get it

This just in: orders will ship in the order they were received despite the 4-5 vs. 3-4 week estimates. Meaning, if you ordered an iPad 2 yesterday & received a 4-5 week ship estimate, you will get yours before someone who just now ordered one and received a 3-4 week estimate.
This also just in: estimates are not exact.

Many folks on this forum seem to use and rely on iDVD. I'm in that group.
I know that the world is much larger than this forum, and therefore the percentage of iDVD users to all Mac users is in fact very small. But...
If Apple does drop iDVD it will be another example of blantant disregard for customer's requests.
This may be obvious for many, but for me, it will be the final confirmation that Apple has moved on from the "digital hub" strategy of 1998 - 2007.
Remember when they made all this cool software to help sell Macs? With iPhone and iPad success this is simply not required any more.
I dont think this is right - they're not moving away from the digital hub, they're recreating a different digital hub - Apple isn't necessarily thinking how do we facilitate the creation of dvds so people can make home videos and share them with friends - they're going to the root - what's the best way of distributing videos - right now, upload to the internet is much faster and much more widely used then DVD burning.
Don't forget that in 1998 they dropped the floppy and people had the same attitude you do now. It's great being an Apple customer, they are on the frontline of new technology but they do drop fading technology first too. Pretty soon the usb drive itself will be dropped from the macs as well - what will be the alternative? idk - for flash drives maybe phones will be portable flashdrives connected through wifi or something - by the time they get rid of the superdrive all apple software will be either download or usb stick - no need - people will complain - 7 years later compaq computers wont have them either and we'll be laughing at them for finally catching up although they will then be behind. I have nothing against iDVD but like i said earlier it wont disappear, support will still be available for 3 years or so and iDVD will not disappear from your apps.
Anyway my point is i don't think apple is ignoring their user base - Steve Jobs said at one point "It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them."
In other words, they might be replacing the software with something that does that job better, and the job is not creating DVDs, the job is distributing media in a beautiful way - maybe we will see the an app in iLife that was rumored before about making something like the Movie extras, with menus and other content - similar to iDVD but then its to upload or stick somewhere else or on your apple tv or on your iphone or ipad - i don't know, i don't work for apple - that's why i pay them, to think for me and show me what i want, cause i don't know. I have ideas as to where things might end up but i really don't know for sure.
My 2 cents.

Nice! That is awesome Apple, way to go. Another one of those features that make computing a whole lot easier and way more fun.

I'm a little surprised apple didn't see something like this coming.
Any sort of stored db on the phone with what looks like location data was bound to make some people scared.
Even if the data is just the wifi hot spot/cel tower data, you can't trust your average joe schmo 'wannabee' techie to really understand what he is looking at.
I am glad that apple is acknowledging that educating people is the answer here.

I'd recommend setting a time later in the afternoon, say 3:00 PM each day of the show. I know this is when my dogs are usually getting pretty tired and I'm looking for a sit-down.
There are four semi-circular seating areas on the ground level of South Hall, at the top of the escalators. I say just pick one, and a time, and see who shows up.
A 3:00 meeting every afternoon sounds like a good plan to me.
Here's some more info about the four seating areas that IJ speaks of... They're officially called the Horseshoe Lounge(s) and are in the street-level lobby (officially the upper lobby) of the South Hall.
On the floor plan picture below, you can see the four horseshoe booths. I've marked one with an "X." If there are no objections, let's call that "MacRumors HQ." If you're coming up the escalators from the exhibition, it's the booth left-most booth. If you're coming in from the street, it's the right-most booth.
