resolution independence is going to be a god send to web developers, no more crappy and inaccurate pixel/em sizes. now we'll be able to specify inches and picas hoorah!
and vista will be supporting resolution independence through its WPF foundation layer. it won't be overnight � hell like CSS 2.1 it'll take years before it goes mainstream, but the web is going to be a much better place.
as for JPEGs at 72 dpi vs resolution independence � beyond the scaling algorithms it's important to look at the increase in resolutions of monitors before going to crazy, 1920x1200 is about the maximum and average consumer is going to have, it's taken a few years from 1024x768 to get there though, three or four at least. i suspect we'll be at a max ratio of 2:1 or maybe 3:1 for quite some time. i don't think we're going to see a drastic need for hi-res images on the web or a plethora of "blurry" images for quite some time.

Keep in mind that Apple probably realizes that the current 'music' iPod can't evolve into a 'video' iPod without giving up so much that we love with it now. They realize that if they are going to make a true video iPod the ergonomics will have to change. The screen will have to be bigger. The device will have to be bigger. It will have to be heavier (mostly for strong battery).
When they realized that this new video device can't replac the current iPod because of the compromises that it required, they began to rethink the whole device. But when they did this, they also began to think "What else can this little bugger do?".
There have been so many rumors about the added functionality of this device and I believe that Apple has played around with them all, getting rid of many and keeping only a few. They are finally locked down on its new features and are working (or hopefully already done) on the new way to interact with this device. I have little doubt that the interface, once we see it, will be that same old "Why didn't we think of this before" kind of thing. The question I keep asking myself is what the NEW features will be. I don't think it will be just video.
Some new features I would like are: Wireless for Internet access (either WiFi for cellular), clean way for inputting text (for Calendar, e-mail, web surfing, etc.), eBook reading (possible new category for the iTunes Store with both purchase and subscription), and if they can get the device small enough a phone.
I think that Steve gave us hints with this when he said recently that he was as proud of the products that they didn't release as the ones that they have. I think that they had tried to make an upgraded Video iPod to replace the current line but ultimately came to the conclusion that the changes they were trying to make spoiled what we like about it in the first place. It was then decided that this Video iPod was going to be a new category.
So don't worry about loosing the wheel, or the compactness of your iPod. It's not going away. This isn't the device we are talking about.

Totally
Can't even browse the web with it. Or listen to music. Or use 1000's of apps. Or look at videos / pictures/ books.
But you can play dodgy emulated games that crash within two minutes, run more than one process at a time causing out of memory error messages. Play divx movies that work at less than 10fps. Overheat your battery by making a wifi hotspot.
:eek:
Ahem!
I've run several programs on my iPad at the same time without any hiccups.
AND those emulators you speak of work fine.
Oh and I have no battery issues.
Enjoy your walled garden! :cool:

I am looking for one so i can listen to music before i buy the albums
riiiight.... :rolleyes: (no offense)
Anyway, in all seriousness:
Have you thought about simply using a music subscription service in this day and age? I don't know whether Spotify (http://www.spotify.com) is available in the US yet. If so, that would be my first choice. It is excellent. :)

Isn't that why the West manufactures in the 3rd world? If 'they' weren't being poisoned, the iPhone might cost twice as much. The price of doing business. And I'm sure some of our politicians feel workplace standards are one of those expensive government bureaucracies we can't afford. :p

Just a tip. If the RAM goes bad it will likely be only one of the two sticks. The MB/MBP can run on only one stick - which is actually one way to figure out which one went bad. I know because I got some bad RAM from OWC and they had me run my MBP with one, then the other, to help troubleshoot the problem.

I never really understood resolution independence. Can someone explain it in layman's terms?
Say you have 2 laptops with the same size screen, but different resolution screens, e.g. 17" LCD, one with 1920x1024 and another with 1440x768.
Right now the Apple menu and the text on it will appear smaller on the higher resolution screen, because the pixels are smaller and the size of the menu bar is defined in pixels.
On the resolution independant system the size of the menu bar (and everything else) will be the same, regardless of the size of pixels. So the menu bar will be 1/4 inch high instead of 25 pixels.

That is very sad.
I would not be surprised if that show was the most syndicated around the world.I also have to wonder if it did help shape American culture at the time, even if it was just a little bit.
I also wonder how many black leather jackets it helped sell :D

Wow, and nobody could have seen this one coming. Proof that the demand is low: I've never even seen one!
Well just another failed product by microsoft.
No, I'm pretty sure Apple canceled the Zune.
This is all so funny. Almost as funny as Apple's total failure in the server market. Remember? They recently cancelled the Xserve product line and they even quietly retreated from developing a standalone server version of OS X. Did you guys laugh so much about that, too?
So, now Zune software is gonna compete with Windows Phone 7?
No. The Zune software is for Windows Phone 7 what iTunes is for iOS.

I got a Samsung BX2431 24" with a max of 1080, which I've found really nice. I spent all day in the library using a 24" iMac, so I was able to get a sense for the differences when I got home. The big thing is to calibrate the Samsung properly. Other than that, the Samsung monitor seems to have less color gamut, but is still very bright and almost as sharp.

Hi, i've tried everything i can think of. i'm trying to make a separate subnet for my local network. it's only 2 computers, a desktop and a laptop. i have it assigned to the ethernet ports as 192.168.2.1 & 192.168.2.2 (desktop/laptop). my desktop has a wifi connection as 192.168.1.100. i want to be able to connect them with ethernet for transferring lots of files and have os x automatically use that connection instead of the wireless as it's slow. i've tried setting the network priorities in network preferences, and adding a route in the routing table but it keeps trying to use the wireless between the 2 computers. how can i do this? thanks for any help (ps i want the internet to stay active when i connect the ethernet)
edit- i can kind of make it work by disabling the wireless on the laptop.

Wish they'd take the plunge already and make it the iPad Air. Yeah, heavier, no keyboard, but would be what a lot of people want.
Isn't the graph misleading? Is it 400 thousand units or 400 million units?
Yeah, I expect Apple makes more than a buck thirty on each Air sold.

Nice twist Valdek! It's a shame there isn't a good short-hand for "million" (like "k" for 1,000) because all those zeroes, in yours and others' efforts, are a little distracting from a design POV.Yeah, I thought about using an m first, but decided to use the 0's nevertheless.
