I agree there need to be big cuts, but it seems like the only thing we cut nowadays are smaller programs that have actual long-term benefits. Not things that actually contribute to our huge debt. Like it's been said multiple times in this thread, the military budget NEEDS to be DRAMATICALLY cut and if you disagree, then you're either completely ignorant of how much we exactly spend on our military, or you are absolutely paranoid of the rest of the world.
Taking away bargaining rights from teachers that are already underpaid? What's that going to do? Lowering the salary of congressmen? Congratulations, Congressman Boehner, Congress now saved an extremely tiny bit of money (which you then blow by increasing spending on the military by $24,000,000,000 that it doesn't need).
We need to cut spending on things with no return, and increase spending on things that will truly benefit America in the future: Education, science, innovation, etc. If that means higher taxes, then so be it. That's what got America to be the biggest and best economy in the world to begin with.

I've got a bad feeling about this.
Anyone else think that this may be a reference to the rumored ulta-portable design that is essentially a thin clinet, wiht all of the apps/storage handleed over the internet with dotmac/google apps.
It would boil the new machine down to a large iphone with a keyboard. While such an approach is OK for the BB or iPhone, I would hate to have it on a laptop.
The other expanations are for more pallatable.

You maybe didn't read my post properly. I said I spotted that 6.0.5 could do this but I still don't know how. Whenever I select a different set of speakers it swaps to the new set. Do you need to press a modifier key or something? (Can't test just now because one of my AEs is elsewhere).
The v7 interface chugs a bit on my 1.25 GHz PBG4. I think the interface has too many dark shades. What's with the black highlight in the sidebar?
Oh, sorry, I must have read it wrong. I'm not at home right now either but I know I can do it on my setup at home. It's just always worked but I can't recall exaclty what the menu looks like right now. I think there is a "multiple speakers" option in the drop down box for selecting where to stream. If you select that it will bring up a box with check boxes next to each set of spearks available and if you select them all it plays to them all. I'll double check when I get home.

When you study harmony, who are you going to study the most? Bach
When you study Music History of the Baroque era, who is going to take the biggest part of the semester? Bach.
When you study Harpsichord or organ, who is the biggest composer you are going to study? Bach. Even when you do piano, you are going to study Bach at leas at the beginning before your Liszt and Rachmaninoff.
I know they teach popular music at universities. The course on popular is music is optional. My wife took a course on popular music at Montreal university. They studied the Beatles for about 20 minutes of the whole semester. I did my bachelor's in the USA, my master's in Paris, DEM in Paris and my doctorate at Montreal. I know 20 is minutes is the most the Beatles are going to get. That's how important they are to music history. Perhaps, they are important in popular music.
You think you know about music, but your knowledge is very limited. It is just plain ridiculous to compare them to Bach.
How about if you don't study these things, but just enjoy them for what they are.

I certainly hope that the resolution on the Apple Movie Store will be AT LEAST 480x720 (aka 480P). Otherwise, between Netflix and super cheap DVDs these days, I don't see how Apple can compete with lower than DVD resolution.
If they are really smart (and the studios play ball, which is doubtful) they would go straight to 1080P.
I agree with you on the DVD quality. But could imagine how long it would take to downlaod a 1080p film? Days! The hard drive space would be another thing, it would be about 10 or 11 gigs for one film! At least. This is not going to be possible for at least 3 or 4 years I would say.

Geez, this is a MONEY LOSER if there ever was one.
I loved the beatles when I was 6.
But, these days who's going to be buying these tracks!!!
Steve must love the Beatles, because this is a gift.
And will hardly be a profitable venture.
What planet do you live on? OK i'm from Liverpool so maybe slightly biased but you need to see how many people visit the city for just one reason, The Beatles. Easy money if they appear on iTunes.

All I care about right now is if this will run on a Mac pro 1,1. And if so, and it is using all cores finally, will there be a big performance increase on my system over my current FCP6.
If the answer is yes to both I'm in. I won't be impressed however if they artificially lock out older Macs.

Hmm, a better camera? Well I never...
Seriously though, I just hope this megapixel bump comes with improvements to the sensor...that's why the iP4 camera looks better than the 8MP Evo

Ok, but they are only utilizing Moscone West. Why not rent West and North, South or all three.
Moscone North and South were already reserved for trade shows much bigger than WWDC more than a year in advance. It's all about the total number of attendees, and these big trade shows bring in an order of magnitude more people spending money in SF than either WWDC or Google IO.
Never mind. Those big trade shows are two weeks before and after WWDC.

From one human rights disaster to another.
I'd pay more for a product Made in America that is contributing to our growing economy and feeding starving, hard working Americans.
No you would not. Don't fool yourself.
Made in USA is becoming something from the past. Americans need to come to the forefront of innovation and technology. Labor is always cheaper in countries like Brazil and China.
Americans want to pay Walmart prices so that to happen these products need to be made elsewhere.
An iPad "made in USA" would probably cost twice.

You guys do understand that such an agreement would be so iTunes could include tracks from the Beatles catalog in their store, NOT give them license to use their pick of songs in advertising, right?
With all due respect to the 'Fab Four', it would be pretty silly for Apple to spend a million bucks for the license to use one of their songs in order to promote the songs availability on iTunes.
Let's face it.. most of the folks who want Beatles tracks already have them.. so unless iTunes will be offering some never before released tracks (doubtful) the overall impact that this will have on Apples profits is marginal, at best.
Even 100 million would be a steal. Remember that way back in 1995 Bill Gates and Microsoft paid the Stones 20 Million to use Start Me Up. The Who (Pete Townsend) has gotten rich all over again just from the CSI Franchise. Hey they wrote the songs so they should make the money IF they want to.

Why is he blaming it on us? Its "ultimate"ly his decision to use and post what information was given to him. He's the one that needs to decipher between good and bad tips. Not to just take anything anyone says as fact and then publish on his website.
I completely agree, but it seems as though he thought it truthful, or wanted to drum up more traffic to his site. Either way, it's not our fault he posted a fake tip, but rather, his and those who sent him the tips. However, to break the TOS here, then begin to discuss it, is a ban-worthy event.
Edit
Interesting. It seems as though the Mac Pro rumors are still considered legitimate, as 9to5 hasn't issued a retraction of those.

Everything there is overpriced. Their cables and connectors are usually 2x what they would cost from a respectable store! Typically when a part costs $12, I'll tell them I'll give them $5. They usually take it bc it's only worth 5
Yeah I got screwed by them, I wanted a long stereo cable so I could listen to my iPhone in my wife's 07 odyssey on a trip. For some stupid reason Honda only put a audio input in the very back for the kiddies but on the 08s it's right below the radio. Anyway I ended up paying around $12 for a 6ft 3.5mm to RCA L/R cable and a 6ft 3.5mm cable. I just saw today a website was selling a 5ft 3.5mm to RCA L/R for only $.69 with a coupon code and free shipping. Oh well that's what you get when you want something without waiting.

The issue that always seems to pop up in these affairs is the OIL. Well, yeah, that is important. Though we have no vested interests in Libya per se (apart from, perhaps, the Lockerbie incident, and possibly the Achille Lauro), it has been mentioned periodically that oil is "fungible". Even if we are not actually consuming Libyan oil, its absence from the global pool would affect us, so really, there is a significant interest there.
More importantly, though, the oil-soaked nations draw a lot of income from their fields, which allows/forces them to acquire the most sophisticated martial paraphernalia available. In this respect, they represent the most serious potential threat to everyone else in the world. Hence, Kuwait and not Sudan, Libya and not C�te d'Ivoire.
Really, though, I have this nagging feeling that the right-wing indignation over this action is partly being fomented by Halliburton and Blackwater, who stand to make no absurd profits in Libya.

It seems to me that the "something in the air" is all the speculation about what will happen on the 15th. The internet is full of predictions and excitement.
I predict some sort of touch screen UMPC device, an updated mactv box allowing 1080p and wireless itunes movie rentals, and blu-ray drives on the new iMacs, Macbook Pros, and Macbooks, along with an even sleeker design. Whatever happens, I'm confident I won't be disappointed.
