Ah. You mean similar as to how Apple purchased NeXT and based OS X on their NeXTSTEP OS?
Give it up. This has been discussed to death already.
See above.
You really think OS X is just a rip off NeXTSTEP?
As you said its based and a lot of things were shared but it isn't like they said; here's OSX, NeXTSTEP build by Apple.
OSX shares a lot from the opensource community; so does windows;, Android, Symbian, etc etc.
What's the big deal?

Relax dude, your safe. You said that you used the mens room. What's wrong, did I actually guess your bra size?
:rolleyes:
And I'm not? Cut the bullying crap, you obviously have some kind of personal issue with any kind of gender-bending.
It's not your bathroom. You don't own it, you don't have any real say in who gets to use it. Just like you don't own your daughter and don't have the right to beat anyone up on her behalf for any perceived slight. If I ever hypothetically made another woman genuinely uncomfortable in a restroom, chances are I'd remove myself from the situation at least until she had left, that's a concession I'd make to *her*, not you. The discussion came up at my university a while back and the most telling thing was that the only people who took issue with trans people using appropriate loos were men, I wonder why that is.
Do you really actually think that's why we do it just to perv on women in the restroom? Do you have any idea what we go through to be who we are?
Why are you scared by us? Why do we make you uneasy in yourself enough that you lash out with lame insults, make threats and refuse to acknowledge this girl's gender? I've got news for you, we walk among you, you don't often see us, but we do and we've been progressively gaining more and more rights. There's no place for attitudes like yours in the world today, as you can see your views are not popular in this thread and it's not because everyone who disagrees with you is trans themselves.

He's referring to inductive charging, not intelligent bezel, if I am correct.
FTA:
While the art we�ve seen shows some form of inductive or touch charging, our sources can�t confirm whether or not Apple�s working on its own version of cable-free juicing. There�s also a �swipe area� shown in the drawing which appears to be on the bottom and / or top of the device � that could very well be an NFC point, but that�s pure speculation on our part.
Wondering why they don't if the hardware is there and the network supports it already.
Because the hardware is in the CDMA phone on Verizon. The AT&T iphone 4 doesn't have the same chip. If the iphone 5 does, it's still up to apple and at&t to enable it.
Do you still think it's ugly?
I think all iphone mockups are ugly. Only the official iphone renders and pictures on apple's website seem to do it justice. I hated the iphone 4 from giz's pictures even.

You think it is bad for iPhone users only....with my company's massive (thousands) number of blackberries with AT&T, not to mention aircards, the iPhone's massive use of bandwidth and cell saturation is hurting more than itself.

I voted negative on this story. As I was hoping that Apple would concentrate on fixing the sticking scrollbars on the current Mighty Mouses, (or make it easier to open them and clean) before they just made it wireless.
Also, I'n not a big fan of using batteries in mice. Why not have a wireless mouse that is re-chargable? Or one that you can use wires with if the battery gets low?
well you could use rechargeable batteries.

There's nothing wrong in celebrating the death of an evil scumbag who was responsible for over 3000 deaths.
Yes, I chanted USA!

It turns out the iPod already has some tough competition in the form of the Toshiba Gigabeat S, the Creative Zen M: and V/V plus and the Samsung YP-Z5 seeing how they have so far beaten the iPod in head to head battle on cnet and that site tends to be a little bias towards the ipod specially editor James Kim.

Mac OS and iOS is different things, it seems Apple is loosing that idea, where's the unification OS? Can you imagine how ugly and mess it's going to work with apps each one with different looks and feels, at least we wll get fullscreen single apps, or maybe not, well, more and more Ubuntu seems a better OS

not everyone wants a dedicated home server that they load everything on and let it run 24 hours a day. We just have a MBA.... i'm not gonna load all my music on there and leave it plugged in 24 hours a day. Just not gonna happen.
Exactly. It's more than just the $5 for the app and the data cap/bandwidth issues. It is wear and tear on a machine that has to be left on 24/7. It is the hydro cost of running that machine 24/7 instead of turning it off when you go out (this alone may well add up to more than $20/year!) If you don't want your main machine on 24/7 then it is the cost of another Mac mini or NAS or other device to act as the server instead.
It is also wear and tear on your 2 TB drive that has to be on 24/7, as opposed to working more like a backup drive that's only activated occasionally to back up your music files. It is the hassle of ensuring AudioGalaxy and your server and your ISP internet connection are all up and running when you need them to be (dealing with power outages, internet outages, maintenance, restarts, software updates, etc.)
$20/year might well be worth it for the uptime and hydro considerations alone.

^^^ You should install those updates ;)
Ha ha ha, I was actually installing them as I took the screenshot. No updates to do now ;)
Actually I reckon this product name is a code name for a virtual iOS machine for Mac devices enabling iOS apps on Macs.
Saying that, its also likely a 'split off for iPad 2', the reason I think that? Well, iBooks also has that product name. AppleTV would be lousy for book reading IMO. Perhaps some apps will only work on iPad2 and not on iPad(1), due to processor requirements or camera, for example, hence split the compatible apps into two categories. If so, why are games like Angry Birds HD not showing up, which are compatible for both?
Thats why I thought the Virtual iOS software for Mac is more likely, book publishers might want to see how their book looks like in iBooks

I don't believe this. Why would Apple waste money on a carrier that has just been bought?
Its unsure if the deal will go through and what type of stipulations will happen. As a proud T-mo customer. I do not want this deal from hell. I love my low prices I don't need an iPhone I am happy with my current phone.
There are many things that stand in the way of this deal. It may make the market a lot less competitive. It would also almost remove sprint and make it a two horse race with AT&T and Verizon having over 60% of the American Market.
It is also quite possible that if AT&T does purchase T-Mobile, T-mobile will exist solely as a subsidiary of AT&T similar to Sprint and Virgin Mobile. Its clear that AT&T is purchasing towers not customer base.
Many of the Android users are going to migrate over to Sprint and Verizon due to the of the inability to side load on AT&Ts network and the restriction of upload download speeds.

After my Panasonic 32" HDTV bit the dust after only 13 months (1 year warranty, of course!), I got this 42" Vizio 1080P 120 MHZ to replace it. Panasonic, I hate you!
Also got a PS3 Slim recently when my old fatty died. It's in the upper left adjacent to the 360, but you can't really see in photo because I am no photographer. :o
Due to my bad luck with electronics of late, I went against my previous convictions, and got extended warranties this time. :rolleyes:
For those considering this TV model, I'm extremely satisfied with the picture quality.

Unless someone has the right mind to at least use a vernier caliper to prove the difference in thickness, this "rumour" is an absolute fail.

The "view" buttons in finder changed back to the old style.
I always found the 'slider' buttons really out of place and difficult to get my head around - they always seemed to be out of place when it came to how one navigated the UI. The kind of 'slider' approach seemed to be more appropriate for a touch screen approach than if you were using a mouse or touchpad considering that you'll need 'click and movement' occurring at the same time which is difficult using the existing hardware (holding down the pad button then moving ones finger at the same time).
OK, here is a historic example:
"Apple missed Leopard's release time frame as originally announced by Apple�s CEO Steve Jobs. When first discussed in June Jobs had stated that Apple intended to release Leopard at the end of 2006 or early 2007. A year later, this was amended to Spring 2007; however on 12 April Apple issued a statement that its release would be delayed until October 2007 because of the development of the iPhone."
(from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Leopard)
I do not believe that Adobe, Microsoft and other big companies need just a few months to make their apps Lion-compatible. Will Apple release Lion, if major companies do not support it? Unlikely. Q1 2012 is more likely.
I highly doubt it given that the changes made in Leopard were a lot more substantial when compared to Snow Leopard and Lion. If you look through the WWDC sessions for that year there were many lower level parts that were completely removed and replaced, file notification API's (of which there were many) being replaced with a �ber one to rule them all, changes in the kernel for UNIX compatibility etc. Even if Apple didn't re-allocate some developers to iOS it is doubtful they could have pulled off an early Leopard release given what they had decided to change in the underlying operating system.
Regarding the re-allocation of resources to iOS, to be fair iOS needed a heck of a lot of TLC given how far behind other smart phone operating systems it was at the time. Fast forward to today and you'll see that there isn't the same level of urgency given that both iOS and Mac OS X are pretty mature. Where as 2-3 years ago there was a massive laundry list of features that were missing from iOS it has pretty much developed into a list of 'it would be nice to have' rather than 'really need this or the platform will fail'. For Mac OS X it is the final stretch of Cocoa-ilsation which is the completing of the last remaining frameworks developers have been waiting for (AV Foundation pretty much replaces QuickTime Framework) with Apple upgrading their own applications so their middleware is end to end Cocoa based.
