It's amazing just how few (3 so far that I can count) SERIOUS and thoughtful replies to this thread there have been. It almost seems that without personal attacks or social distress we have nothing to talk about... even when faced with the amazingly detrimental economic situation described in the OP. Truly fascinating. Seems more true to me than ever that most on the left either A) fail to recognize the depth and seriousness of the problem at hand, B) don't care or aren't willing to make the necessary cuts to maintain economic sanity, C) are too busy playing petty politics (the blame game) worrying about who caused the problem instead of who's going to fix it. It seems that unless the threads directly pit right vs. left, no one cares enough to engage intellectually and make progress towards a solution. Anyway, thanks to the posters above who actually contributed... I may not agree with your suggestions, but at least your in the arena.
The trouble is in true authoritarian style you present charts from various right wing/big business sources (complete with oversize type and charts,which as you know is the equivalent of shouting,not the best way to start a discussion) and present them as "truth" thereby establishing your own rules,no room for any debate on options.What the U.S. is going through is "end of empire" get used to it and adapt or die.The giant Ponzi scheme that is international capitalism doesn't care about the majority of Americans one way or another.Face it the way America is organised is failing the vast majority's income has been stagnant since Reagan,exploiting others natural resources is getting harder.The U.S. is split,a wealthy few percent control the wealth the rest are awaking to the fact that this is a model for failure and will as time passes become more demanding of change,it may not happen soon but it will happen.Maybe then the U.S. will fulfil the possibilities it has always had.
(in case I'm not being clear,the present model is dead it doesn't work no amount of tinkering will fix it,what is needed is a new model)

Selling refurbished iPads as new _would_ be illegal. And I'd be curious where they would have found refurbished iPads.Exactly right. That would be a no-no.
They did what any of us could do. They bought a bunch at another retail seller and then resold them.

maybe because, often, it's not even an issue ... until the media makes it an issue.
Heh. This non-incident reminds me the good old days of SNL when Gilda Radner played Emily Litella (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Litella) in the Weekend Update segment. Emily couldn't hear very well and would always misunderstand the issue du jour. After Emily's weekly misunderstanding was cleared up, she would end each segment with a meek little, "Never mind."
NBC has a great little sample, violins on television (http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/emilys_editorial_reply/1156891).
It would be stellar if Al Franken would say, "Never mind," in the Senate. That would be funny.

In the U.S. complaint, Samsung accuses Apple of violating patents that "relate to fundamental innovations that increase mobile device reliability, efficiency, and quality, and improve user interface in mobile handsets and other products.
LOL
Can that be any more VAGUE?! They might as well be suing for the fact that samsung made phones before apple.
Anyone who thinks Apple's reason to sue was bad should just look at that!
Do you realize the complaint goes into WAY more detail about how Apple has apparently infringed on their patents?
Do you realize you are quoting a summary in an article?

Most clients are going to want a quote, so that's what you need to give them. However, if a particular client is happy to pay by the hour, you can choose to do it that way too. Whichever way you do it, communication needs to be clear, so the client doesn't get a nasty shock at the end of the job.
When doing a quote, you're really estimating the number of hours it's going to take you anyway. Estimating accurately is hard when you start, but like anything you get better at it the more you do. I actually created a program to help do estimates eventually, because I hated doing it so much, and it saves me a lot of time.
Am I right in saying you've not worked for another design company before? That makes a lot of things hard for you I think, because in working for someone else you get to learn an awful lot that they won't have taught you at the school. Perhaps you're really set on sticking to the plan of going straight into business, but if it were me, I'd want to do at least a year in another design studio before going out on my own. You see how they do things and can adopt the good, and learn from the not-so-good.
Anyway, whichever way you decide to go, I certainly wish you all the best. :)
Hi. Thanks for the advice and kind words. I would actually love to work for a firm or design company. I would prefer the steady check and the opportunity to learn the ropes. I need to network more. I send out a lot of resumes but no real nibbles yet. I think networking and knocking on doors will probably get my farther than the monster.com approach I've been using :)

Thank you, Apple, for weeding out the companies whose business model depends on selling my information to junk-mailers.
This is the kind of 'crazy-Steve-Jobs-control' I can live with.
They are legally not allowed to sell your personal data in Europe without your permission. I realise this doesn't help you if you live in the USA but the whole 'selling my data' issue simply isn't a big deal for subscriptions if you live in the EU.

I got a weird bug. Sometimes my albums in the photos app go right to the top of the screen and show underneath the 'menubar' at the top so I can tap on it and open the first album in the list. If I pull it back down on the rubberband effect it still goes to the top of the screen?! I have to restart my phone for it to reset and its still hit and miss whether it works.
Did you report it (https://bugreport.apple.com/)? :cool:

Actually this has been proved wrong. As long as your careful, keep them in a good tempered area they'll be fine. I still have some of my original CDs and DVDs that I burned that work fine - of course it doesn't hurt to backup those discs though. Scratching them is easy. ;)
Tell me about it! :rolleyes:
Many of the CDs I burned before 2000 are coasters by now. And they were handeled with extreme care... No UV light and room temperature. I was so stupid to believe the industry claims of '100 years longevity' and used them for archiving my projects.
Now a big part of my 90's projects is lost and I will never get them back. Redundant HD-Backups are the way to go. CDs and DVDs I only use anymore for transporting data (blanks are cheap, they then can stay at their destination) or when I have to hand out a copy of a project to a customer. And of course for music and movies in order to be compatible to the rest of the world. But I would never again archive my projects on any DVD or CD. Too risky...
Blue-Ray as well as HD-DVD are not interesting at all for me at the moment, so I couldn't care less if they are incorporated in the upcoming Mac Pros...
Maybe that changes when the prices come down and HDTV finally gets into a stage where it actually really works flawlessly. Since I am not that big of a TV fan anyway, I don't see the need for it... When HDTV equipment costs as much as the 'normal' equipment these days and my current CRT-TV imploded, I might maybe consider it buying that stuff... Until then I have all I need to be happy...
