Make it DVD quality and allow the option of burning it to a DVD and I'm there. :D
Haven't bought any TV shows, but if I could burn it to a DVD, I would probably buy some movies.

The only official word is "late this year to early next year." We'll know more in a few days.
officially? Before Vista. :D
Why is no-one here talking about the WDC banner?
(a) you mean WWDC ;)
(b) there's another thread about it. ;)

Oooohhh.. 8 seems like a big number!! :) Is it mm circumference or just.. numbers someone decided on?
Ah, a labret.. I learned that word freshman year.. then the girl with the labret piercing squirted grape juice at me through the hole.
OMG freaky, but she' first chair at Oberlin now, so I guess she can labret-squirt anyone she wants now, 'cause she's principal bass at OBERLIN her freaking junior year. (just... DAMN! I mean.. DAYMN!)
Dude, those look so cool! I wish I could have one and not look like a stupid goob. :(
guess you haven't seen the pictures i put up in the Macrumors Pics!! Thread LoL.....
the way the gauges work is weird, smallest is 20, but your most common is 18, the lower the number the bigger the size. its weird, i know. i can't squirt anything through my labret, its only a 14.... maybe if it was 12 or bigger. so 2 would be a bit more than double what i have now...

I'm renting a lot of content through the iTunes Store (Apple TV) with an US account and it works like a charm (I'm from southern Germany). HD content can be watched as advertised almost instantly. So either their US servers have enough bandwidth or there really are servers in Europe.
Apple (as any company of any significant size offering things to download) uses CDNs all over the world which act as sort of regional and local caches. These CDNs are likely to be operated by third-parties.

A consistent interface would be nice (and "Apple-like"), but I want increased functionality, efficiency, and for god's sake, some decent networking!! Call me a noob-hater-asshat, but why can't Apple get their networking in order? I know, I know, it's windows' fault, but it's not just pc>mac networking, it's mac>mac as well. Improve that and it's worth the upgrade to me alone.

Right. The Core 2 Duo's have been out how long...a month perhaps, and Apple is falling behind?
Unless they start giving thier software for free then they have no chance people can choose a good Windows on a pc or pay loads for a mac. Or they could just use Linux. Linux will probably beat both of them in the near future when they get more software included. I know personally I will be switching from Apple to linux on my pc in about 2 weeks when I can get everything backed up safely so I will have Linux and windows on 2 hdd's from this point there is no point in going back to mac since you can get everything you want in linux for free

Agreed about facial recognition. It is just good enough to be tempting to use, but, not good enough to really automate the process-- very frustrating. It works OK with certain people, especially people over 40, but, not well at all with children.
YMMV. The first pass I made through iPhoto with facial recognition it picked up most of the current pictures of me (over 40) and matched photos of me from scanned family photos from my childhood. Does a remarkable job distinguishing my 3 kids, who look a lot alike, after a few iterations of "teaching" it.

wow, they sound like huge hits. what takes 5 minutes?

I think what Eidorian meant was that Apple should lower the price of the Mac mini once Intel lowers its prices on processors. Maybe Apple will even be able to increase the speed a bit while lowering the price (we all know how CPU speeds and prices fluctuate).Intel already lowered the prices back in late May. I don't really see a need for the Core Solo Mini anymore. I'd like to see a $599 Mini with Super Drive...

Wait so, how are we supposed to report No Coverage in an area with, well, no coverage?
You are not supposed to report it. Since you can't send the report the company does not have to fix the issue. This is smart, then they can report to the world that they don't have gaps in their coverage. ;)
Take that Verizon. LOL.

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.
I wasn't attempting to connect to the network, no harm was being done

The entire Western civilization has been in the 3rd phase for quite a while, don't you think?
Yes I agree. What do you think the decline has been attributed to?
EDIT: Perhaps the author has already answered my question -
Today, three main threats exist to America’s dominant position in the global economy: loss of economic clout thanks to a shrinking share of world trade, the decline of American technological innovation, and the end of the dollar's privileged status as the global reserve currency.

I've read a little on the subject of Japanese society (The Chrysanthemum and the Sword is good) and visited a few times. I don't have a complete answer, but a couple of points people haven't made yet are:
- Japan is racially and culturally quite pure - with low immigration and a high barrier for immigrants to integrate (the language). Japanese language and culture is not widely spread outside of Japan. This leads to them having a very inward focus, and a high amount of loyalty to their own society. As a Westerner/English speaker, you could disgrace yourself in your own society, yet still find a happy home somewhere culturally similar. For a Japanese person there is no other home - if they disgrace themselves to their fellow Japanese, they risk being ostracised from everything they hold dear. (This is the reasoning given in TCANS for the low surrender rate of Japanese troops in war - a Western army will surrender with 30% dead, for the Japanese 90%+ would have to die, since to surrender would be to disgrace oneself and become ostracised. This is the same reasoning for the Japanese army's poor treatment of prisoners of war in WWII - as the social standing of one who surrenders is very low).
- Having transgressed, Japanese society is happy to throw the book at a suspected criminal - and extends few of the rights arrestees enjoy in the West. Prisoners can be held for 23 days before being charged, the legal system assumes guilt and police have traditionally interrogated in private. When a case reaches trial, there's a >98% conviction rate, and trials have until very recently (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/8181225.stm) all be Judge-only trials (no jury). There's evidence that lenient Judges face career setbacks.
So yes, the Japanese people may be educated, moral, disciplined - but there are also very strong societal pressures to conform, and if a person did loot, they'd expect to be treated extremely severely.
I think you're spot on. I lived in Japan for a while, in a very rural part, and it was like that. For crime, the burden is on the accused to prove innocence, not the other way around like in Western cultures. And there is no search and seizure. If they believe you might have done something, they can search you all they want. If someone was caught with drugs, his phone records would be searched and every single person on that phone list would be searched. In Japan, you really can't get away with a crime. And like you said, your circle of friends and family is all you have in Japan. There's no running away from who you are. If, in a time of crisis, you become a thief, everyone would lose all respect for you. One of my favorite Japanese mma fighters was disowned by his father for failing his high school exit exam. Think about how shameful being a thief would be. And in Japanese culture, fighting on in times of hardship is a very important quality. They sort of see it as a time to show your best. At least that's what I get from watching Japanese mma fighters.
