This has to be the worst MacWorld in my recollection. I was super excited to see a Leopard demo, and to order iLife '07 and iWork '07. Especially iWork, which I use all the time.
The name change scares me. The iPhone is useless to me since it is super expensive, and Cingular won't touch South Dakota with a 200 mile pole.
And the Apple tv? Please. If it had DVR capability, I'd be on board. But, everything has to go through iTunes.
My only highlight of the day wasn't even in the keynote, and that's the new AirPort Extreme Base Station. I'll probably get one of those sometime this Spring when I get married. Oh well.
This was a sad day that I got way too excited for. I fear the Mac is getting replaced by Steve's stupid little toy called iPhone.
I agree with you. As a person that lives just a few miles north of you (20 or so) the fact that the iPhone is Cingular makes it worthless for me as well. In fact, anything but Verizon or Alltel is worthless in most midwestern and western rural areas. I guess however you have to cater to where the most customers are so I can't fault Apple for that. I am just glad that companies like Verizon and Alltel haven't forgotten about us in the rural areas like other companies have.
For me the Keynote was pretty boring. The Apple TV is cool enough, but hardly a "must have" item. I would have loved to see some iPod updates (without the phone) or some software updates. Oh well, maybe later this spring we will see something along these lines.

You know what they need? "Snow 4.3" - lighter and faster. The more point releases they make, the slower my phone seems to get.

Just because someone hasn't left iPhone 5 in a bar this year doesn't mean we are not going to see iPhone 5 in June like we have seen every single iPhone before it (ok iPhone 3G slipped into July, but big deal). Apple is predictable people. I guarantee that we will see an iPhone 5 in June. And ofcourse Apple hasn't given a roadmap out, because they are keeping it hush hush this year.

Also, what is so bad about the iOS notification system? I just hit "Close" if I don't care about a notification at that time.
My biggest problem is, ok I don't want to look at it right then. BUT I would like to be able to look at it as some point.
I've also run into where I will be typing in a field or playing a game and a notification will pop up and I'll hit close before I realize it. Then it's just GONE, that's what annoys me the most.

I think Apple's policy allows for users to opt-in to sharing their personal data.
That ability is there. But rather than give its customers a choice of opting in, FT would rather sell your information without your approval.

Anyone going to the at&t store here in Brick NJ? I will probably be there around 10min to 8. Leave a comment if you plan on going, it should be empty because no one goes to this place. I don't blame them.

Apple probably knows how many people buy iPhones so late in the release cycle, and they obviously still decided that it was worth releasing the white version at this time. I think that this might actually make quite a lot of people buy a white one now rather than wait for the iPhone 5, which isn't even guaranteed to appear in June.

If it works and is $100 cheaper and has the warranty. Then I can care less on the consumer end.

I think google has a lock on the map thing. I can't see apple employees driving around remapping the world to get their own data base
Google don't map the world either - they do the street map images, but if you look at Google Maps you'll see that the actual roads data comes from either Tele Atlas or Navteq. Those two companies sell their map sets to all the sat-nav companies too.

I have been very rude about phones on previous posts, but I also said (check those posts!) that if it integrated a touch-screen vPod and Blackberry style capability, it would be cool. Which it is! And yes its expensive, but so were top range iPods. Leopard will come. More importantly, personal electronics have jsut changed.

Apple does allow opt-in, just not opt-out. So the problem lies with the FT.
Not really.
The terms with FT are that if you want to use their service you must provide them with the information. Then you can choose what you allow them to do with this information.
If Apple does not want to allow FT to work that way they are effectively saying they don't want to do business with FT. And this is why FT is "holding out."
Apple doesn't like the T&C's of FT.
FT does not like the T&C's of Apple.
So they are choosing not to do business with each other. Happens all the time.
Apple users are the only ones that lose here.

Today I was using disk inventory x to see how my new SSD is looking, and I noticed a large 4GB document file called sleepimage.
I googled it, found out what it was, safely deleted it through terminal, and read up about what it is and what it does. Turns out it is supposed to be deleted after the computer wakes up, but obviously its not doing that anymore. I repaired disk permissions and its still not deleting it like it should. If anyone could shed any light onto this i would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

I agree that "Castle" is a red herring. The iCloud website just announced their new name, "CloudMe." It seems unlikely that a site name change is created unless directed by new management. Also, the url "icloud.com" redirects to "cloudme.com." I'm guessing this is a juxtaposition of 'iCloud' and 'MobileMe'. Such juxtapositions would make sense if a company wanted to retain brand loyalties.
Also, if the updated website is any indication, I'd bet the Apple schema will be 3-tiered:
1. All users-free 3Gb cloud storage with 150MB/file and adverts.
2. $50/yr-25GB, 150MB/file, NO advertisements.
3. $100/yr-100GB, no limits on filesize, no ads.
This way, they avoid the "email for life" fiasco of the earlier .mac, yet retain financial incentive to continue serving cloud services.

Reminds me, must get my old Passat looked at. Needs a service anyway - they can look at the brake failure message i'm getting (probably a sensor as it only happens when cold and turning left!)
Anyway as for the new US model, looks like a bit of the current Polo/Golf styling (EU models anyway - not sure about US versions of them) is going on. Not too sure if I like it, however as I've not got the money and I live on another continent it's not an issue at the moment.

Maybe most of the parts for the iPhone 5 are identical as the iPhone 4? I predict that 5 will just have an upgraded processor and more memory.

Still one of the most beautiful supercars I have ever seen. Considering it shares so much in common with the gt 40 styling (it is a homage to it after all) the look will always be classic. I can't really think of many cars I would rather have if I had my choice.
I believe those are custom rims. I would change those but it's not like I'm complaining.

It's called the 'semantic web'. You may want to look it up. Decent web designers have been designing this way for some time where they can and the W3 want everyone to go this way.
I think this makes us web programmers rather than designers.
It will only break your site design if your site design is badly designed in the first place.
Then please go visit www.csszengarden.com and see how user-applied changes break their designs to the point where elements are covered by others. Those designs usually apply to the W3 standards, and I bet they are far better at this things than either you or me.

Hi, right now I'm working on a project in logic and in is there is a piano part that I recorded via midi with various chord progressions. I will be working with this live and I want to print the piano part as a score to refer to the chords, so to identify them quickly I want to have the simple popular chord name (Ab m) above the chords on the sheet music. I can enter the chords manually using the text editor in the part box, but that would be long and tedious...since logic already identifies chords with incoming midi, is there any way for it to automatically name them?
