Nice insight... your sources?
Just my general awesomeness. ;)
I obviously have no sources. But I do think there are a few definitive patterns Apple follows. One of them is this - don't cannibalize sales or media attention by rolling out multiple new/big items at the same time; rather, allow for a couple of months at a minimum between a new iPhone and a new iPod line, or between a new iPad and a big refresh of Macs. Another pattern is that when they roll out a very new product (such as the iPhone 1, or Apple TV, etc.), make it fairly bare bones so that people can get used to it, so that it can begin an easy integration into your life, your home, and so on.
So why do I mention that? Because we all know (at least with 93% certainty) that the North Carolina data center is Apple's entry into some form of cloud computing. We also know that Amazon just threw the gauntlet down by unveiling its cloud. We also know things are moving fast with cable networks, studios, etc. racing to get apps and content onto your mobile device, especially your iPad.
All the while, the iPhone sales appear to be kicking ass, and besides a larger screen, there doesn't seem to be anything that Joe Public is fretting about not having in the iPhone. For the average non-macrumors.com crowd, the iPhone 4 is plenty sufficient and remains in high demand.
So, in my mind, I smush all of that "data" together, and I believe strongly that there is a blackboard in Steve Jobs office that looks at the forest - not the trees - and shows April/May media event to roll out cloud, and shows the summer as an educational time for consumers to begin integrating cloud into their lives, late summer a new line of iPods that make strong use of the cloud, and perhaps (emphasis on perhaps) a new iPad the has strong cloud integration for holiday sales.
Another way I look at the iPhone 4 is this - it's like when Apple plateaued, in a good way, with Leopard. Apple essentially said, this is awesome, let's chill with this. The most we'll do is tighten up the code a bit with Snow Leopard. The iPhone 4 is like Leopard. While us Apple geeks - me included - enjoy pondering how much more we need out of the iPhone 5, the reality is the vast majority of mobile phone customers are more than satisfied by the iPhone 4, and there is little need for Apple to take attention off the pending cloud release and focus on a iPhone 5.
Just
my
thoughts.
I yield the floor. ;)

Hmm.. I think Apple is keeping a tight lip on the iPhone 5. It's probably the most top secret objective atm, due to last year's iPhone 4 leak.
If anything Apple could have released the iPad 2 in September, because they're still on top of the tablet market, but smartphone wise they're lacking big time. Apple instead needs to step up their A game in the smartphone market and not releasing an iPhone 5 this year will be plain stupidity.
I'm not believing any of this until WWDC, i remember seeing enough articles saying that the iPad 2 will be released in Fall as well.
Btw guys, even if they are pushing the release date back to Fall, i highly doubt it's because of the Verizon iPhone, i think Apple knows how few people bought those. I'm sure Apple is more concerned with AT&T, and the whole world, instead of the small iPhone population in Verizon.

They are... but the JB people hate it because it breaks their JB if they upgrade.

But the updates aren't automatically applied, so why should it matter? If the update didn't come out at all that would be a better scenario? :rolleyes:

It goes to show you that they can still make a profit with $100 off. I guess the price gouging by Apple continues.
You're making an assumption, and an unsubstantiated accusation....

nope -- its GIVING users choice. why? remember, w/ iOS subscriptions, YOU get to decide who you opt-in to. you, the CUSTOMER.
And what is the innovation in this? You always had the option to decide (remember those checkboxes). I really don't see how Apple's solution is really different from the current situation.

Alright so I jailbroke my iPod touch 3rd gen with 4.2.1 using Redsn0w, and installed cydia just fine, however while using cydia the iPod shut off unexpectedly, now as I'm trying to "Just boot tethered right now" the jailbreak gets stuck on "exploiting with limera1n". Help please?

As mentioned before, iPhone has continually been compared to Android as platform rather than manufacturer's phone to phone.
The only people who want to compare it that way are apple fans. The rest of the world rightfully compare it according to device. Smartphone OS to smartphone OS.

How do you define a criminal act?
Criminal: a person who has committed a crime
Crime: an action or omission that constitutes an offense that may be prosecuted by the state and is punishable by law; illegal activities
1. Are the terrorists captured during firefights with US soldiers criminals or soldiers, and why?
2. If North Korea launched a missile against the USA tomorrow, is that a criminal act or an act of war, and why?
3. If Al Qaeda launched a missile against the USA tomorrow, is that a criminal act or an act of war, and why?
4. When the USA dropped nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in WW2, was that a criminal act or an act of war, and why?
5. When the Allied forces raised Dresden to the ground in WW2, was that a criminal act or an act of war, and why?
I don't really see your point here. But...
1. Saying a terrorist is a criminal or a soldiers is quite irrelevant. A terrorist in the USA who is trying to explode a bomb is a criminal. Also, being a soldier doesn't means you can't be a criminal.
2. Again, an act of war can be at the same time a criminal act. Suppose country X and Y are both countries in Europe, and X attacks Y because they felt like doing it, that is an act of war AND a criminal act. If Y attacks back, that is also an act of war, but not a criminal act, because they are defending themselves.
3. Same as #2. The only thing that could change is your perception of an "act of war". Is it only considered act of war when it happens between two countries? Or a group not related to any government attacking a country is also an act of war?
4. It depends. Was the USA defending themselves, or were they just doing it without any reason behind? This is a completely new topic, but if it helps for anything, Japan was the one who attacked first, without any real reason behind.
5. Same as #4.
If you justify torture to prevent death of innocent people, where do you draw the line? 1,000 people, 100 people, 1 person?
If it were up to me, one person would be enough. The line is not in the amount of people being saved, but in the fact that the person (criminal) who is behind this attack plans, has become a treat to the security of your people.
What if the person you are torturing is innocent?
I did said that I wouldn't support torturing innocent people.
What if your torture helps the terrorists recruit more terrorists and the result is more, not less, bloodshed?
What if not doing so (torture) means that the terrorist group achieves their objective, and continue doing the same again and again?
So lets do medical testing on criminals, thats ok right?
No, because what the criminals did has nothing to do with medical diseases. In the other hand, they did made something against the law in formulating or being part of a terrorist plan, of which they have knowledge. And that knowledge might lead you to prevent this terrorist act to be executed.

It was funny to me when this started and people were talking about jailbreaking and making it so this file could not be written.
People were actually willing to make their phones not work properly because of their ignorance and paranoia.
By the way I missing the part were Jobs said this was an oversight on Apple's part. From the part quoted here, it essentially says, working as intended.
The issue is being deliberately overblown. There are a myriad other ways people are and have been "tracked". In this case, there isn't even any tracking going on, and the info that is stored WILL HAVE ZERO EFFECT ON THE AVERAGE USER. That's the kicker. It doesn't really affect anyone materially, tangibly, practically. But it *hints* that somewhere, somehow, there's a log indicating you were in the vicinity of certain cell phone towers. Which is about as worrisome as HR at work logging your hours!
The info is practically useless in terms of actually "tracking" your exact position, but so long as there is a snowball's chance of misconstruing it, a bunch of idiots *will* misconstrue it . . . because they're sick and tired of Apple showing up the rest of the industry as retards, and Apple users announcing the same. We have a group of tech geeks here who think everyone is equal, every device is wonderful and has its place, and every company should play fair with each other. So they come out and try to equalize everything and downplay enthusiasm they deem as inappropriate. It's hilarious.

If you're just doing really basic stuff, it isn't too bad. But once you get in to motion or lighting effects, it bogs down.
I'd imagine it would depend a bit on your system... though, I can't say I've noticed a massive difference in VPC between my Powerbook 1.0 and my PowerMac DP 1.8.

You are welcome to expend the effort to discover the back story. If you choose not to, go ahead keep spouting misinformation and jingoism, but be prepared to be called on it or to simply be ignored as lacking credibility.
No offense, but I'm at least adding something to this thread, granted, it is how I see things, and not the absolute truth. But if you want to come and tell me I'm wrong, at least have the decency to point out why. And if you don't want to write, at least post a link.
And there's no need on using complicated words. And I'm not being patriotic at all in this thread, since I'm not even an American.
