I have 3 USB 1 ports and 2 FireWire ports. Does that mean if I buy a new 8Gb Nano, it won't work with my system? :(

If it requires overpriced glasses, it ruins the pictures colors and looks awkward.
If it does not require overpriced glasses, you will get a headache and possibly vomit.

Does anyone know if that 200Gb Hard Drive will fit in the original macbooks? I have Final Cut Studio but there's just not enough room to run in on my Macbook now.

Is it just me, or does the new iTunes logo look horrible in the dock? It doesnt seem to match anything, and it just doesnt look as "clean" as the typical dock logos have been/should be. When i went to click iTunes for the first time and it changed from the nice/clean green logo to this blue cheesy looking 1995 icon, I was pretty surprised!
I think everyone should send massive feedback about how horrid everything in iTunes looks compared to before, even with the new features (which are great). Maybe they'll change it back, at least on OS X.

Wouldn't be a bad idea. Even if they just made "patches" so we aren't downloading half a gb of updates every 2 weeks.
This. Patches are desperately needed for this OS.

I think Mac sales are directly tied to the Halo affect of the iOS devices. The more they sell there, the more people open up to Mac as an alternative. With Lion having more iOS like interfaces, it will make it even more natural for new customers.
I think this is part of their strategy... that is, iTunes/AppStore/iOS ecosystem made them successful ($) and they have millions of loyal customers; they can transition these user, to Mac by making it have the similar features & feel.
I also think that part of their strategy is to much more aggressively roll out Apple stores to non-US markets to do this.

off switch or not, you have to realize that the more companies will be manufacturing 3D devices, the more companies will create 3D content for these devices
it's a crappy circle...
Who cares if someone creates 3D content for a device? Again, explain the negative here? How does this hurt you as a 2D viewer. Unless they start making 3D only content, your experience should not change.
As much as I don't like 3D stuff being shoved down my face, I also like the choice of being able to view something in 3D, rather than not having the choice at all.
I find it strange how there's so much angst against something that is completely optional to the user. That's like me being annoyed someone else is able to turn on Bluetooth.

Several members have voiced their disapproval over the Mac Pro's exclusion of Front Row and Photo Booth. However, Jobs did say that 10.5 would include "the complete package." He then went on to say that Boot Camp, Front Row, and Photo Booth would be included in the OS. So my question is this: How will one use Front Row on the new Mac Pro?

I think Apple will continue to sell it so long as its profitable. They clealry dont have many engineers dedicating lots of time to it, so if it sells theyll continue to sell it.
We might see an update to an iOS-based system similar to the nano. It may get a price drop because its specs can be met at such a lower cost today. A budget introduction to the Apple+iTunes ecosystem, perhaps? Filling the gap between the nano and the touch?

After our vacation to safari in Kenya, we flew our safari driver to America because he seemed very fascinated with america. One of the first things he noticed was "why are all the violent crimes on the media by blacks?"
His words, not mine.
From my two weeks in Kenya and from the testimony of my aunt and uncle who have been there for two years, I understand that Black culture is much more family oriented in Kenya. For the most part the culture is based on the family system and people behave (which is astounding bc all the poverty, packed urban living, and lack of reliable law enforcement would all seem to suggest it would be the other way around)

This is great news unless it's automatic patches which mess up the jailbreak...
Automatic, without user authentication would not make sense. Apple has never issued updates or installed anything without user interaction. That would open the OS up to security risks. So, it wont be automatic.
Over 3G? No thank you. Wireless on WiFi is fine.

Whether or not Britain is the "most tolerant" country among a field containing some much worse, blacks (and Irish) were openly discriminated against, and certainly in the case of blacks, still are. Many in the UK would rather that the natives from their former colonies just remembered their place.
You're the stating the obvious, of course discrimination is happening in the UK, in every country it's happening but, it's undoubtedly less prevalent than in other nations.

all this beaming vs using the ear buds (yours or theirs) reminds me of the great expense NASA went to make a pen that works in space and Zero G. as compared the Russians who used a pencil
Urban legend. The space pen was developed by a third party, and pencils were used in early nasa missions. Pencils aren't good for outer space since they can burn and shavings and lead bits can float around, which is hazardous.

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.

But there are larger venues available, so it is certainly possible to limit the number of attendees by choosing a venue that is too small.
There are far greater costs/concessions in utilizing those larger venues.
Moscone Center is the best and largest facility in the SF Bay Area for Apple's needs. It's not like Apple is going to rent out the Oakland Coliseum and spread out a thousand chairs and tables on the football field.
Going out of town increases the costs enormously: moving equipment and people. Airline flights, per diem meals, hotel rooms, taxis, rental cars, etc. Forgot a couple of boxes of marketing collateral? Moscone Center: have someone drive it up 280. Elsewhere: buy full-fare airline ticket for employee.
What does it cost Apple to send an engineer to Moscone Center? Employee gets to expense lunch, write off transportation (heck, half of these engineers probably live in SF - they can just take BART or Muni to the event). Let's say $30 a day.
What does it cost to send an engineer to the L.A. Convention Center or Vegas? Long-term parking at airport, airline flight, $200 hotel, arbitrary $75 per diem meals, rental car/taxi, etc. Could easily end up at $400 per day per person.

I'm definitely staying away from this update for now. Something about it actually just kind of scares me. It helps that my week 21 MacBook has only had the mooing issue and nothing else (so far). That issue has gone away with SMC Firmware Update 1.0, and I've had a great laptop ever since.
I feel rather lucky. :)

Yep, I'm one of them. Not to de-rail the thread, but I live about two blocks from a tiny tornado that popped down in the Birmingham area. No damage at my house, but three streets over there are no standing trees or power poles.
As for Tuscaloosa, jeez. I've never seen footage like this except for on Discovery Channel, in places like tornado alley. In the lower left hand corner you'll see my old law school, and behind it about a half-mile is the main Tuscaloosa hospital, DCH.
I'm so naive. I didn't think tornados like this were real, at least anywhere outside of known "tornado alley" kinds of places. Just awful.
Glad everything is OK on your end. Pictures and videos are horrific. You're not naive. Most of us can't really fathom these things unless they hit close to home.

I like the dictionary idea. But aren't we getting into the realm of the tablet/PDA now?
The big difference is extreme simplicity and loads of content on a central and popular place, iTunes. Its amazing to see the iPod gradually grow into a multifunctional device and the road it took to get there.
