The additional gestures are pretty nice.
My favourites are swiping to go back in Safari and the swipe to switch Spaces. It feels iOS like in that it's really smooth. A bit buggy too, but that's to be expected at this stage.

There used to be a chain of stores that let you listen to any CD in the store so you could see if you liked it. Not sure if there are any that still do that.
Are you talking about FYE? I haven't seen one of those stores in years.
Try Youtube. a lot of people post whole cds (track by track) on there.

So the previous "beta" releases on the Mac were just alphas? Interesting. How long has Opera 8 been in the making? I am surprised that they're already releasing it, but maybe it just feels short.
*downloads Opera 8.00b1*
-Chase
The first alpha was posted on Jan. 7, so I'm not sure that this is a "short" job or anything. Opera for Mac snapshots (http://snapshot.opera.com/mac/)
First significant bug - can't install skins anymore. However, I can log into VersionTracker now.

Hello there, do these shsh need to saved to the PC?? Or the ipad itself?? But if the ipad jailbreak is not out yet how can it be saved using tinyumbrella which is availabe thru cydia
Tinyumbrella saves them to your PC and puts a request to have them saved on Saurik's (Cydia) servers as well. Saving them does not rely upon a jailbreak.
The SHSHs allow you to downgrade firmware since firmware updates send a request to Apple's servers. "Can I install this firmware?" Tinyumbrella and/or Saurik's servers mock the Apple server allowing you to install older firmware as long as you have SHSHs saved for said firmware.

Hey guys,
I�m in a shared living environment at the moment where we are sharing a business class internet connection. All of the rooms are wired for internet and there are usually about 60 connections to the internet.
Hardware:
Modem
AirPort Extreme
2 Switches
7 Air Port Expresses
With this information, what would be the ideal set-up? If I want to preserve mostly internet speed and local transfers. Also, would I see any benefit from installing a gateway server?
I know that this is a lot of ask of you guys but I do really appreciate it.
Thanks

Yeah you can pay the way you want at the Apple Store, but I'm not sure you are allowed to buy it without signing up for a plan, because they're just $199 WITH the contract. Maybe they'll have a $599 version w/o contract ?
Have you looked at Fido's offer ? I'm seriously planning to switch from Rogers to Fido. They have invoicing by the second vs by the minute at Rogers, and Nights and week-ends start earlier too.

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.

The question was could I buy a Mac Mini and Apple display at different times and still use AppleCare for the both of them and the answer was no, I could not. So I'm just going to wait or just get a cheaper LCD.
Well, if you don't want an Apple Display, but still want a pretty nice looking LCD, some people seem to be a bit ga-ga over the Dells. :)

I have 4 SSD's.
A 256 GB OWC, in a 2007 BMB.A 64GB OWC in a 2008 BMB, both are mission critical, and I run my business with them.
I also have 2- 1.6 GHZ 4/64 11" refurb MBA's, that I am in the process of installing 360GB OWC Aura's in each.(one more to buy)
All OWC SSD's have performed as advertised, and have been problem free.
I have spoken with Hellhammer, and he has advised against the hack to enable TRIM on each, I
believe Apple supports garbage collection, on their own drives,but not others, but Lion will
support Trim, so I am waiting for Lion before I activate the MBA's
I have been very happy with all RAM, and SSD's purchased from OWC.:cool:
I was under the impression that garbage collection functions within the SSD itself, independently from the OS... whereas TRIM relies on OS support. Am I wrong about that?
Also really interested to hear how speed/performance of the current stock MBP SSD's compare to the 3rd-party alternatives out there.

Sony needs to make use of the already established and once popular "Walkman" name and make a real iPod competitor.
It's not about a MP3 player or media player anymore. That is last centuries revolution. Now it's about multi-function devices.... smart phones, tablets, integrated entertainment devices like the iPod Touch.
It will be interesting to see how the next 10 years shake out.

Justification for DRM
I understand the need for DRM. Apple would never be able to sell us all that great music without the DRM. I have no problem with the DRM. I think it's fair. If I were an artist, I wouldn't want to make it so easy for people to freely distribute my music royalty-free. If a million people like my song enough to own a copy, then I should see a million payments on it. That's fair.
Not as good for Apple as it would seem
A long time ago, Jobs stated that the goal of the iTunes Music Store wasn't to turn a profit, but to market iPods. By providing a easy-to-use, cheap, legal way to sell iPod-compatible music, Apple is able to sell more iPods. It has clearly worked like a charm.
So you're asking "well, if other websites can sell iTunes-compatible DRM protected music, it will sell more iPods too, right?" Well technically yes; You're right. But let me ask you this; what separated the Apple User Experience from most? What sets Mac OS X apart from other OS's, or the iPod apart from other MP3 Players? What makes the iTunes Store so much more popular than any other online music service?
The answer: Approachability. A quick learning curve, ease of use, simplicity, elegance, suave, charm, style. Apple's core marketing gimmick, the reason Apple is still around today, the reason the Apple experience is unique is because Apple maintains strict control over their user's experience, and they make the experience as pleasant as possible. Forr example, it's one of the specific reasons Jobs cited for killing off the Apple-licensed clone machines (back in the day).
Now, we all know Real. I don't know many people who can honestly tell me that they've had an overall easy or pleasant experience with Real. Their software media player is nearly a trojan horse, their tech support is abysmal, their website is obnoxiously hideous, etc. And they're one of the better alternatives. If vendors other than Apple have the ability to peddle DRM-protected music for the iPod, then Apple loses a bit of control over the iPod User Experience.
It might get ugly
Suddenly vendors start changing the rules, right under Apple's nose. Instead of the simple .99 pricing, maybe it's tiered pricing, arbitrarily set up by the folks in charge to make an extra buck, but it confuses/aggrivates the end-user. (and maybe record labels like the better bottom-line & start selling exclusively with Vendor B rather than Apple, thus the Music Store loses marketability). There's no quality-control. Vendors can start ripping less-than perfect copies of the music (or worse, music laced with ads!), market it as "ipod compatible" unsuspecting users buy it & the iPod experience diminishes. In short, Apple loses control.
I've been an Apple user since childhood. I've followed the company closely. I can tell you one thing with certainty. They do not like to lose control of their end-user experience.
DVD Jon may think he's doing us all a favor, and maybe in a shortsighted way he is, but ultimately he's spoiling Apple's marketing strategy & thus risking the iPod's position as the top MP3 Player in market share. The DRM isn't his to license. Hopefully his scheme will be fruitless.

Anyone have info on if we can buy just the phone, without a plan, and then jailbreak it so it can use my current rogers plan? iPhone plans are gonna be nuts. I want to be able to just go in and buy it, without signing up for rogers.
Also, is there a limit on how many we can buy? My dad wants one, so I would be buying two...
and can they be payed for with a bank card?

Actually I have 3 T-Mobile phones, each has GPS for use in E-911. Its a new federally mandated requirement.
No, it isn't, and they may have GPS but that's a coincidence and I can tell you flat out that T-Mobile does not use GPS to locate your phone.
The Federally Mandated Requirement is that the mobile operator is able to locate your position. The technology they use is up to them. GSM operators do it via triangulation. E911 is supposed to work regardless of how old the phone is that you're using. Do you think your 1980s Motorola brick AMPS phone has a GPS receiver in it?
