225 in the lead, it's almost 5 an over required by OZ even if we're all out now!

Appointee...??? What are you talking about, it's not a position of office!!
Fact is in most places they probably get paid more than the teachers!
What school districts are you dealing with? I have yet to see a IT position that hasn't been filled by some teacher union's or school board member's relative.
You are right though, they make far too much money for the level of idiocy they exhibit.

I agree Bwhaler,
Moreover, I have had a brush with serious illness and knowing that Steve would be doing as much as he can to ensure his health, I hope he is just being pedantic about his diet. Grazing diets as you might call them usually restrict calories in some form or another and this is part of a long term plan to give the body time to recover without being stressed. Even though he is vegetarian, it doesnt mean he should be eating Tacos and icecream...bad move.
Heres to hoping.
:cool:

Okay, so when do people want to meet up? Do we want to do a drinks and dinner outing, or just drinks, or something even less formal?
I'm up for something any evening except possibly Wednesday. I can probably make it then in a pinch, but I'd have to cancel another commitment.
Location? Meet up at Moscone and move on from there? Meet at a restaurant? There are a number of restaurants within just a block or two...there's the Metreon's upscale food court, Thirsty Bear (tapas and good microbrews), Buca di Beppo (family-style Italian), Chevy's (Mexican, er, American chain restaurant Mexican, but I like it just fine)...I'm sure there are some other options that I'm missing off the top of my head, so feel free to suggest others. Things will obviously be busy in the area due to MW, so we may to have to plan ahead with reservations of some sort if we're going to dinner...ballpark numbers probably okay, but we'll need something.
What's good for you folks?

I'm in much the same situation ... totally happy with my base 13" MBA, but lusting after the 11" as well. In fact, I bought - and just returned - the 11" "ultimate," thinking that I would be so happy with it that I could give my 13" to my wife.
Well, I wasn't. I'd probably have just opted to exchange for the base 11" and put some cash back in my pocket were it not for the strong June refresh rumors.
I think we've hit the nail on the head in this thread: The 11" has that "get and go" feel that is still lacking in the 13". Now if it just had a faster processor and a bit better screen, I'd be happy making the switch.

The phone looks good but I don't like the seeing the sensor like that all the time. This whole is that a parking lot or is he driving debate, I can't really tell but I do see his RPM meter not at zero looks like it's close to 10 so he could be idle somewhere?
It's a parking lot and the shot was obviously taken when the sun is still far above the horizon.

this whole patent thing is really annoying. there should be NO patents.
Completely agree, who gives people the right to patent a name, like in "App store":)
Well, not completely agree,but the way it is in the states just suks,patents should be used for inventions and start using them within the year (or 2) otherwise they lose the that very patent.

OH, I see what you're saying now. Yeah, the frame is always whiter than the glass, at least after a while, since they change colors after a while. My frame, front panel, home button, and back panel are all different shades of white. Were all the same when I first got them. I'm assuming that the real white i4 will be the same way.
I think he's saying the white point of the screen itself is not as white as the surrounding bezel. Which I"m sure is true. However, the same could be said about the black point compared to a black bezel.

Has anyone tested the game on a Macbook Pro 13' Mid 2010?
I want to buy the game, but I don't know if it will work fine.
Works fine. 13" Macbook Pro April 2010 with 4 GB Ram here. Highest rendering settings except for filtering. Resolution is 1280x800. I tried it, it would work (a little chopppy) with 1900x1200 too but I had to turn on mirroring. It's for a casual gamer like me but not for the hard core gamer. I don't need 60 FPS, I just want to look it good. And the 13" delivers it. And the game too.
EDIT: I pushed all settings up to the max. Works fine. But the resolution is the limiting factor.

Increased biofuel production causes food prices to skyrocket.
Not true. Soybean based biodiesel is made by pressing the beans to retrieve the oil. The soy bean pulp is a "byproduct" of soy biodiesel production. Conversely, the bean oil is a "byproduct" of soybean based foods. Hence, the two are quite complementary, and not at all exclusive.
If you're thinking of Corn Ethanol on the other hand, that entire thing is a disaster. Yes, corn ethanol takes away from the food supply. It also takes a lot more energy to create than what it contains. Corn is also one of the most demanding crops, in terms of water, fertilizer, and pesticides. Bad stuff all around. Ethanol fuel is a scam forced upon us by the powerful Corn lobby.
Do you want to know what the "way forward" really is? Drive less. There isn't enough energy in the world for everyone to tool around in their cars as much as they do now. But nobody wants to believe it.
Now this I agree with you on! Both my wife and I walk to work. We live in an urban area and both our offices are less than 1 mile from our home. Sadly though, many US cities are full of urban sprawl, and people who willingly live long distances from work and sit in long traffic lines twice each day.

Well, C2Ds have been shipping for that long, and Apple is the only notebook manufacturer who has not even announced! (Lenovo's announcement Monday left Apple as the sole hold-out.)
So, yes, they are "falling behind." (And that's if they announce within the next couple of weeks - if they wait until MWSF, it's just embarassing!)
:(

I agree and I think this is a big deal because this sets the tone for how Apple plans to update systems in the future.
Will they update to keep pace with the PC manufacturors? Or will they stick to the same old product update cycle that they established with the PPC.(ie updates around MWSF, WWDC, Paris Expo, etc.)
The jury is still out but if the MacBook Pro core 2 duo isn't released prior to Thanksgiving then they might as well wait until MWSF and announce a major re-design with santa rosa chipset and new GPUs. After all it will be too late for the holiday buying season anyway.

How is magnesium going to prevent the screen from being scratched? I could care less what the ipod is made out of. The only thing I care about is how is Apple going to prevent the screen from being scratched. Apple should do what Nokia has done for the Nokia 8801 cell phone, and use a saphire crystal (Or hell if Apple wants to go cheaper then use a mineral cyrstal) for the iPod screen. This will prevent scratches completly. The only draw back with saphire is that it will chip, but keep in mind watch makers uses saphire and mineral crystal all the time on GOOD watches. These watches are used daily like an iPod and people hardly drop them hard enough or bang them hard enough to chip them. Hell I bang my watch really hard sometimes (on accident) and just expect to see a chip, when I look down my watch is perfectly fine, no scratches or chips, and I have had it for over two years.
just my thoughts
late
Well, it might be a problem of cost since the Nokia 8801 is around $500+. There might be a problem of manufacture, cost, and readability of LCDs through crystal. Or Apple may not think is necessary.

Despite all the marketing hype about Microsoft having an entire "Mac team" that's dedicated to the platform writing all this software? It feels more like they're pressured by the rest of the company to "not make Office for Mac TOO good or functional", lest it hurt sales of Windows. (More profitable for Microsoft if they can get Mac users to buy Office for Mac first, decide it doesn't do everything they need, and proceed to buy a Windows license AND an Office for Windows license to run it virtualized, or even to buy a separate Windows PC for the purpose.)
Back in the PowerPC days, I remember the excuse for poor spreadsheet performance was constantly "a limitation of the CPU itself, because of the way it handles math functions internally". But now we've been on Intel for a while, and we're still not seeing good performance in Excel for OS X.
Whilst the overall suite is much better than the 2008 version I have to say the performance of Excel on the Mac is just extremely poor when copying chunks of rows to another sheet it's just painful.
Only talking maybe 10,000 rows and it borks - having used Excel on Windows for many years, including the latest versions capable of handling million row spreadsheets, the performance overall of the Mac version is crap.
Very near to being a great suite but I wonder if they have the inclination to resolve and improve.....

I have many reasons why I don't like them and their religion. First and foremost is because of the fact that Israel and its "nazi-like zionist army" have committed crimes against humanity.. Killing innocent Palestinian men, women, and children just for being Palestinian. Israel is doing exactly what the nations of Eastern Europe did to the Jewish populations there in WWII.
2ndly, there is a strong parallel between Zionism and Nazism and also racism. If anything Zionism is the root cause for why this race is hated in the world. Their religion also teaches to not associate with Gentiles and others.. In case you don't believe me, look up the BABYLONIAN TALMUD and how racist and perverted it is.
Israel cares about no one, and the foolish idiots here in this "dying" country called America(dying b/c of economy and debt) are still supporting them.. I say, if you support the killing, apartheid machine then you are supporting the destruction of a race of people, namely the Palestinians.
For those ignorant of or not really learning about the true nature of the government of Israel let me refresh your mind a bit.. If those monsters had their way without Obama, they would finish the job.. Obama and the world had urged and forced Israel to stop building settlements, but yet they still do.
Remember, its simple mathematics. The Jews number today 13 million and this number is drastically reducing because of the large intermarriage rate and Jews who try to assimilate to be like everyone else. Judaism as a religion is dying as we can see.. I am happy there are Jews out there who are seeing the light that Judaism and Zionism are failures and that Israel has FAILED to help anyone or anything..
I could go on and on, but I think I will stop here.. but I leave this on one note: So long as Israel exists, there will be future problems in the future for the US and the world.. I pray one day that Palestine becomes a reality and finally the freedom of the Palestinians is realized.
Agreed.
But why is your name Joshua if you hate the Jews?

This is a misnomer. It is not glasses-free 3D. No image is protruding from the screen. Also, the Wii has done this already. It looks a lot better in that it tracks not only your head but your depth of field.

Well, yes...
The Nintendo 3DS is based on stereoscopic so it is 3D within a certain viewing distance (adjustable, but fine with a small gaming portable with not as much processing power).
I would imagine this sort of thing requires a dual-core A5 processor/graphics?
