New Apple Lust Objects

Ditto. I was excited about hopefully meeting Ned in a few weeks when we tour down that way, but now, now I'm mostly excited about meeting someone who owns a cube!

Dammit I wish I had money. My original-style iMac is still doing me fine after all these years, but it sure would be nice to have a newer model...

And you're touring down here, Mr. Piuma? You are welcome to crash at my apartment, though I can't fit too many people in here unless you all don't mind sprawling on the floor. Drop me a line privately.

I had one for awhile. Picture evidence here

I've already had to use the bug button twice. I'm having to use omniweb for ILE though. That sucks.

The Titanium on Powerbooks (like mine, hem) is heavily enamelled, so it's not suprising you couldn't corode it. I don't like the 17" one at all - why didn't they put a full size keyboard on it? Plus they've changed the keyboard font :(

If apple are going to take on microsoft, as they may well do if they are forced to move to intel chips. Apple seam to have got the open source thing down and so far seam to be working well with the open source community which can only be a good thing.

(nosebleed)

Ech! Is that a real piece of jargon?

That is all.

Oops, wrong thread.

also Apple music download service

- $0.99 per song
- Can use your music for iPhoto etc...
- If you buy a new Mac, you need to deauthorize one and reauthorize another
- Play your music on up to 3 Macs.
- Put your music on an unlimited # of iPods
- Playlist must be modified for every 10 burns.
- 200,000 tracks, unlimited CD burn for personal use.
- Previews
- 128 kpbs AAC quality, every song

Question is would you use it. Its pretty open although you'relimited to burning out an album as the people intended 10 times, which is pretty generous. How many independents are going to sign up though?

First impressions, it isn't great.

I need an iPod and a new Mac PRONTO, I have actually been retuning my methods of music purchases in the past several months in preparation for iTunes and the iPod. Okay i'm done really.

oh nm - gw2=geo wars

Netflix app and ABC player already out.

I noticed on the engadget review that w/tabbed browsing, like the iphone, the ipad doesn't save the status of each of your tabs but instead reloads each each time the tab is selected

I meant to say, that's a bit disappointing but understandable I guess

posted form my revolutionary new apple brand ipad tablet computer device

That Andy Ihnatko 'review' above makes Pogue look like an Apple hater.

Think my favourite part is in that video where he states that the eight hour charge time is a plus.

Won't get our iPad until Monday because I had it shipped to my work instead of home. Didn't realize the launch date was on a Saturday :???///

word on battery time is pretty amazing. Haters are like "no way can you get 10 hrs out of an IPS screen, 3 hours best" and all reviews are like, actually we watched 12 hours of movies straight.

andy ihnatko is a pretty funny guy. I think he must live under steve jobs's bed.

So it's a remote desktop client with an on-screen keyboard, or did they just put it on another tablet?

Played with the one my parents got today. Pretty awesome overall, would be perfect for someone who travels a lot but doesn't need a full laptop.

Not sure how well it would work for reading text for long periods of time or doing much writing/typing.

My mailroom at work called me and said I could pick it up. So we have one now! It's fantastic.

impressions!

i know that was a hoax, but I'd totally buy it. Especially if they could design it in a way that the joystick didn't block the screen.

adorable!

ice cram are you gonna order 25 of em if they start producing them

ipad internet threads are the worst

part of me wonders if these people ever used wifi before, while part of me just laughs at early-adopters

My coworker just brought his iPad over to my desk and I was wowed. It's so... nice.

Even as the iPad breaks all sales records, something deeply disturbing is happening at Foxconn, the China-based company that manufactures the gadget for Apple.

Yesterday, an 18-year-old female worker at Foxconn became the fourth person in as many weeks to attempt suicide by jumping from one of the factory buildings.

The girl, only known by her surname, Rao, had only been working at Foxconn’s Longhua plant for a month. Fortunately a tree broke her fall, but she was severely injured.

The iPad isn't a big iPod touch—an iPod touch is a miniature iPad that restricts the full multitouch experience in exchange for offering greater portability. With the iPad, in contrast, you get multitouch the way it was meant to be done.

no siracusa no cred

4 suicides per 300,000 people - is that higher than normal? same thing's happening at cornell too.

They all start out as iPod touches but a wave of male sex hormones during early development turns about half of them into iPads.

lol
