That would be awesome, but if muslims are the majority, i have a bad feeling about what they will turn the country into. It would likely become a muslim state, and israel would not be able to remain secular.Why could it not have a secular constitution?
If the palestinians were mostly christian, this situation wouldn't be going on right now. The whole problem is the fact that they are muslim.Significant numbers are Christian, actually. 4% now, 8% until 1946, and of course Maronites make up 22% of the population of Lebanon.

It's because it uses server CPUs, all of which, except for the bone-stock model will outperform the iMac i7. They are considerably more expensive, and are required for dual CPU systems. They also use far better GPUs, have expandability, etc.
I understand the i7 vs Xeon argument for the single CPU systems, however, a pro buying a workstation will be expecting a workstation-grade CPU, not a consumer model.
Go check out workstations from Dell or HP. They are more expensive than the Mac Pro, believe it or not.

I like him, contrary to everybody else bashing him in the other post.
Nice to see his lack of grammar, but it's just a blog post.
Also, I'm wondering how much they pay him, considering his statements of being paid well... ..i guess it is Apple...
The reason they pay him well is that they want to keep him happy doing it as Apple plans on using this ad theme for quite a while. They *don't* want to be forced to switch faces any sooner than they choose to. Also, everyone's saying that they prefer the PC guy. It's absolutely normal as he is the comic element in the ads. The PC guy is given all the funny lines. But those same lines make him look... well... less than god-like. You're not supposed to *like* the Mac guy. He's the captain of your highschool's football team. He's the class president and the prom king. He's all that and more, so you hate him, wish you were him and... buy a Mac. The efficiency of the ads is not measured by how much you like the Mac guy or whether you prefer him to the PC guy but by how many Macs the ads sell. And I think the ads are pretty good at selling Macs. So more power to the Face of the Mac!!! (He's good for my stock...)

true but TCO for any subscription iOS device is likely to be many hundreds of $$$ more than an android that gives a similar experience.
TCO is where the smart people look, I'm not surprised you missed it..;):cool:
Really? Last time I checked, iPhone data and voice plans were priced the same as their Android bretheren on the same network. If you want to compare TCO, you wind up comparing carriers to each other, not phones. Do you have any specific numbers to back your claim up, or are you just throwing out an argument and and an insult?

People who agree to work with biographers do so because they want to have control or a strong degree of input of an authoritative biography. They want to make sure their motives and their side of the story (or revisionistic history to cover up mistakes and misdeeds) are read to the public.
Certainly, that would be an attractive idea to an important person who is seriously ill. Though nothing is of use to use when we're dead, the thought of a well-regarded legacy does provide comfort and purpose to those who are given advance warning of their death.
I'm not saying that's the case here with Jobs. But if it were, I wouldn't be surprised.
Bernie Ecclestone has just bought out an authorised biography that he fully cooperated on and he is in the best of health, works full time and travels to every F1 race so I would not write off Jobs on the basis of a book

I'm really disappointed with these annoucements. Where's the stuff for their computers? Leopard? iLife 07? It just seems like they're pushing into every aspect of the market as quickly as possible. A business is like a tree...ignore the roots, and it'll die. Not that I'm saying Apple's going anywhere, but there a lot of disappointed people.
Yes, things like Apple's move to Intel procs, the purchasing of Silicon Color, and the discounting of Shake (amid rumors of a brand new replacement app) are also recent signs of how Apple is ignoring it's roots.:rolleyes:
It just seems ridiculous that they would only announce Apple TV and the iPhone, and nothing else! There's really nothing for anyone - every single person in that room, watching Jobs give his Keynote, without a doubt, has their own phone in their pocket.
Besides phones I'm sure every single person in that room owned a laptop or desktop computer too.

thats awesome news, thanks for that! i'll continue to take it to school, and if he tries to take it off me again, i'll be sure to explain the above points to him. its crazy how little trust the school IT guys have in their students, especially when we're clearly doing work on our computers.
I think pretty much all high school administrators are pretty much like that - though, if you look at it from their point of view, they'd want to avoid all possible trouble

France is the _second_ country in Europe to ban such garments. First out was Turkey in 1997.
not true: belgium AFAIk already has such a law since last year and also the spanish senat approved such legislation to banning burkha
and there is also the so called "Vermummungsverbot" in Germany, Austria, Italy ans parts of Switzerland which bans the use of ski mask, faceveils, helmets etc. during demonstrations/protests to prevent police persecution if criminal acts are performed
those bans would for example include wearing a burkha during demonstration
and it needs to be noted that this is hardly the first law regarding "what to wear": to see how free you are in your country just go on the streets not wearing anything ;)

Looks nice. It would look dead sexy sitting next to a white Macbook or an older white iMac.
However, I don't think it is cool enough to try to replace my two month old (black) ViPhone 4.
I might still buy a white iPad, but my phone has a two-tone blue Incipio "sil" cover on it. In other words, you wouldn't really be able to tell if it was white very easily anyway.

That would be illegal with the new law as well. AFAIK, it's now illegal in France to wear garments that conceal one's face in public - not only for women but for men too. Since it applies to women and men equally, it's not discriminatory.
He could have argued it was for health reasons (one of the exceptions). Ski masks are allowed (sporting activities are exceptions also).

I hope it works out for you, I just think you may be affected by a bit of a reality distortion field and your actual user experience may differ from your imaginary scenario.
And you must be totally void of imagination and creative intelligence. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why you hate apple.
Let me guess your an engineer type - who loves specs and rarely has a unique thought of your own.

yup, it would make sense to send out an invitation to a Apple/Steve Jobs Event, on the day the Zune is released. The event is for one week later, 11-21-06, one week before Thanksgiving.
As of today, the Zune might be too big, too slow, be a turd etc. but it will sell no less. More importantly it will steal market-share from the iPod. Not good. At least until it turns out to be not such a great product. That takes a few weeks. People will try it because it is cheap, promises wireless, is by MS. Likely shoppers would pickup a Zune over TG without anything new out by Apple.
It is for MS to fail over the next few weeks. Most likely they will just because of the obvious reason often discussed here: they steal + add design by committee + include crappy software + sell at loss and so on. None of those are good business decisions for the long-term health of your company. Anyways, I think there is a good chance Apple will introduce a new product within the next few weeks but what that product is going to be is the real question.:)

I find it odd that they show two different ways of warning for phishing: the red bar and the sheet.
I agree with that, maybe they haven't decided which one to use.
They are probably real though, nothing spectacular as most fakes usually are.

For example: After some opt-in, your phone records its GPS locations, finds out what looks like driving based on speed etc., sends the data to Apple, where they use it to find streets that are not in their mapping software, and the most useful thing would be average speed data depending on the time of day. If you are in a traffic jam and want to be helpful, you press a button to send the information right now, not when you are near to some WiFi. So people can be directed on the best routes based on actual average speeds, and they can be sent around traffic jams in real time.
It's not a trivial problem, but not really _that_ difficult. If it ever goes over 30mph then it's a car, and if it doesn't stop at a stop sign then it's a bicycle :-) Seriously, it's quite possible to sort this out. And there are many iPhones around, so if you have some iPhones at 30 mph and some at 4 mph on the same road, then you know who are drivers and who are pedestrians. If iPhones move at an average of 3 mph through your favourite park, then turn-by-turn software won't direct car traffic there, whether it is pedestrians or enormous traffic jam.
Like Waze (http://www.waze.com/homepage/)... seriously Waze is the quintessential crowd sourced mapping application. Everyone should check it out. The one thing I think Apple could improve on is the map creation portion itself.

Those posts are misguided. Liquid metal is no darker than aluminum in its default state. The SIM ejection tool is quite a light shade of grey, I have one for my 3GS.
I figured that when I went onto the original company's website saw the raw metal on their homepage. :)

COmposite materials? Maybe, but carbon fibre? I really doubt it. To go from touting the recyclability of the materials used to create their current products to switching to a material that is notoriously difficult to recycle doesn't make any sense. Some research is going into natural fibre composites, but I really don't see what's wrong with aluminium and how composites would really give many significant benefits. Saving 15% off the weight of a car gives the car better performance and better fuel efficiency, both major selling points for a vehicle. Saving 15% off the weight of a computer would give you a 15% lighter computer, making it slightly easier to lug around, but nothing else. I'd say that while people buying a laptop do look at the weight, they'll pay much more attention to performance and features.

Oh, there's no doubt we've lost The Ashes. So well done to England. They were certainly the better team. However, I think England should play to win this one. They're playing it a little safe now.
Get Australia in and destroy them. Big hitting and lots of wickets in a few hours. That would be cricket!
Yeah come-on Vaughan you can declare now and we can have some 20:20 style action....... It's 8 an over required now!
