What bothers me about this is that we now seem to have a huge number of professors and other self promoting (people) running around scaring people for what appears to be a number of odd reasons. This is about as real of a concern as the people making all the noise about global warming. Sure there are issues here, but it really looks like the efforts of people associated with theses scares are more about self promotion and self enrichment than anything else.
Not a nice thing to say, but when you understand that some of the people involved in the global warming debate where a few years ago involved in the coming ice age debate you have to wonder about sincerity. I mean really what is the big deal here that a public announcement was need. Was it an issue of radio frequencies being trackable, something we have all known about for years, or the fact that the transmission was coded for identification?
The point is if you have anything on you body that transmits radio energy you can be tracked. No surprise there. I'm also suspicious about their software, the unwillingness to publish said software may indicate that this is a elaborate dog and pony show.
In the end I just think it is sad that people in the higher education systems of this country have nothing better to do than to scare people. You would think with all the long term economic issues we have they could find a little time to develop technologies that will push the economy forward. Instead energy is focused on items that go down the drain in a few months time.

I used XP earlier today to install IE7* and had completely forgotten how horrid it is to install anything in Windows. My OS X experience has been so much better I was actually surprised that I had to restart Windows after the IE7 install was complete (which took 5 minutes by itself). I still can't believe how much I'd forgotten about why I hate Windows. What a horrid OS.

We all know that at WWDC there will be' no iPhone.
Why?
It's Apple said that! They say "come to see the FUTURE of the iOS".
So it's pretty obvious that they will not present iPhone at WWDC.
Do you really see Apple sell an iPhone 5 with an iOS 4.x ?
I think the only possibility is they announce iOS 5 and say it will be release "this summer" and then some weeks later hold an event specifically for thr iPhone with immediately availability.
Or: september.
One thing for sure: the release iOS 5 date they are going to announce at WWDC is the date in which we'll finally see the iPhone 5.

I'd like to see a lot more weight put into iPhoto.
With the steep price declines in DSLRs, proliferation of smart phones with better cameras, etc. people are taking more photos than ever before. The result is that the photo management and editing tools that only pros used to need are needed and by more and more hobbyists and casual photographers. If they could pull in some tools from Aperture and more robust photoshop-like tools (layers, dodge and burn, spot healing brush, etc.?) it would make a lot of people happy.
As for the current feature set, it would be nice to see more powerful facial recognition (profiles, better job with babies and children).
I'd also like to see some tighter integration with Mail since family email photos all the time. Rather than just be able to right click and add the shot to iPhoto, how about the ability to create an event, label faces all in Mail and then add to iPhoto.
One of my biggest gripes though iPhoto's lack of integration with AppleTV. If I take movies on my camera or even my iPhone, it syncs to iPhoto but only the photos will sync with AppleTV. The only way to watch these movies is to render them in iMovie, Handbrake or another similar program and then add them to iTunes. What a pain!!!
Amen brother! I love iPhoto for organizing imports, but it's sooo far behind Lightroom when it comes to making your pictures really pop. I don't see Aperture as the answer here, it's too heavy to work with compared to Lightroom.
iMovie needs to be to movies what iPhoto is for pictures since more and more devices are capable of recording video. Easy importing, organizing and easy editing.

You can answer that question best.

I've recently confirmed as unconfirmed some unsubstantiated rumors from trusted unreliable resources that the plants -> puppy feature is going to be in rev b 3 months after the first iCelly lands on the moon in 15 seconds!@! :eek:
I, too, am dreading whatever internet fanboy nit-pick reaction on this if and when it happens...

Never pierced my face - ears and tongue - sure. Took the tongue thing out after I chipped a tooth while eating - not worth it.
The guy who pierced my tongue told me he does the prince albert (penis piercing) as well. He said the first one he did was on himself - ouch. He said he lost a ton of blood and later that night he and his wife went to Lounge Ax - a (defunct) local music club. One beer in his head started spinning, he hit the floor and broke his nose - man - what a dumba$$.Did he tell you this before or after he finished? http://forums.macrumors.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=11013&stc=1

I have thought about my tounge.
I dont think I could do it though. As a kid I had to have the doctor remove a bit of some sort of connective tissue from under my tounge so I could speak properly, guess I had a lisp or something. My under tounge throbbed for a week. Bitting my tounge hurts enough. Plus the fact the tounge is a muscle.
i started with my belly button in college, and then had my tongue pierced 7 years ago. it hurt, but not as much as you'd think. something about expecting the pain versus being surprised by it. in a psychology class in college, a study showed that injuries on the battlefield actually hurt less than injuries from a kitchen accident (on a subjective rating scale). no one expects to get hurt in the kitchen. unless you're really clumsy, i suppose.
the actual needle going through wasn't too bad. it hit right after though like biting your tongue pretty badly. but then it faded, and i was talking (but not quite intelligibly) within a few minutes. and it really didn't bleed much at all. eating was a challenge for a couple of days, and it was heaven to really be able to eat and talk better after the week they make you wait to get a shorter piece of jewelry. they made me start with 1.5 inch stud because your tongue swells at first. i went down to a 3/4 inch stud after that. still a small gauge though. i really have no interest in making the whole in my tongue any larger.
nice piercing, by the way. i like it.

I think the anti-phishing stuff is great, but I don't like the way they word it. People who are not very familiar with the internet might get the fishing warning from a "paypal" link and think that it is saying Paypal is a fraudulent site, whereas it is actually saying "this site isn't really paypal."
I agree. It should be made more clear that "eBay" is not fraud, but instead the site being viewed is an imposter. Otherwise people may lose credibility in the warnings/turn them off, thinking that it is warning them about "eBay". Also, I think the integration with Google is great, but I hope Apple opens Safari up to other providers, too. I would love to be able to search Yahoo, Dogpile, Orbitz, or Wikipedia. It seems they are putting all their eggs in the Google basket (I know Google has representation on Apple's board, but still).

better display than the OEMs. That counts.
Last time I checked, the display is not included in the Mac Pro. I would also claim that the ACD isn't that great and Apple only offers one option. For example Dell offers various displays of many sizes, including U2711 which uses the exactly same panel as the 27" ACD.
Let's see: Safari, Mail, Bento, Keynote, Pages, Numbers, iTunes, iLife and many more. You might as well claim that Microsoft doesn't make much in the way of software.:rolleyes:
Internet Explorer, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Windows Media Center/Player...
Pulling up the software card is always moot. If you need a software that is Mac only, then Mac is your only option but that is only you, so claiming that a Mac is better in general isn't fair.
If we get back to the original point, yes, the SP Mac Pro is still overpriced compared to its competitors. However, the extra price can be justified if your needs are driven by OS X. On the other hand, if one uses no OS X only software, then it can be hard to justify the big premium.

When android phones are literally being given away, what is the surprise with the 'surge'? One system is popular because people want it, but the other will eventually surpass it because its an open system on many different phone platforms that are often included for "free".
Yeah... but they are giving away Windows phones and they are still loosing ground.
One thing to keep in mind, this is a very fluid market. People update or swap out phones every two years or so. So market share is always going to change and be fluid.

Hey...
So, sounds good.
Are designating one day as the "big" event. It might be easier to get a good showing one particular day, and leave the other days open as well for people who want to meet.

I have a feeling iLife 07 will be included with Leopard. If they are indeed waiting to ship them together it would really be horrible to wait until say April and then turn around and expect people to buy iLife 08 in 8 months.
My gut feeling is iLife 07 will be a part of Leopard and then back to the normal releases after.

I like the idea of keeping a standing 3:00 meeting every day of the expo, since we'll all have different schedules. Some of us may show up on several days, just to see who else is there.
But if we want to set one BIG meeting that everybody should plan to attend, I suggest Wednesday, Jan. 10th, 3:00 at the horseshoe. By then, some of the craziness of the first day will have died down, and we'll all have had a chance to see the new stuff on display in the Apple booth, and around the exhibition halls.
Sound like a plan?
I like that plan. We've only had four people participate in the Doodle poll linked on the previous page, so I'd like to see some more input about people's availability, but Wednesday sounds like a great option for a major MacRumors meet-up!

The update does NOT install on an iPhone 3G !!
So why is it Apple can say it's OK to leave this tracking "bug" on my iPhone 3G running iOS 4.2.1, and only fix the iPhone 3GS and 4?
People still have the 3G under contract and they are left with a deliberate bug that Apple refuses to fix.
Someone needs to threaten Apple with a class action lawsuit.

The laptop would have wireless in it. Why not make simple wireless connectivity to have a constant connection with the keyboard when detached?
