Expect software announcements at an Apple special event on 30 January (the consumer release date for Vista, as if you didn't know already). There Steve will talk about Leopard's Top Secret features and the new iLife suite, just so that once MS have stopped kicking themselves after the release of the iPhone and the bruises are starting to heal, they can do it all over again. See Zunes and Vista in bargain bins all over the world (I know that Zunes are only on sale in the US at present, but in order to get rid of stock they will be put on sale everywhere without any software support whatsoever).
As if M$ even wanted to make a phone, why on earth would they be kicking themselves? They've had a phone OS since before this iPhone dud was even conceived.
From a marketing standpoint your scheme there is a disaster, as Leopard will be drowned in Vista coverage. The only, *only* reason for synching the unveiling of OSX Leper with the consumer release of Vista, would be if they're going to announce that Leper will run on PCs. As if.

it's a pretty big assumption to assume that a student is 'hacking the network' because he's on a laptop.
So hack it from a terminal, show him up... XP
Ok DONT, but his logic is probably that if you hack from a terminal i'm guessing that they can track it a lot easier, hack from a laptop and it could be anyone right? I don't know, i may have watched too many NCIS and spy shows...
But basically if you bring in "hacking software" software on a laptop it'd be just as easy to bring it on a memory stick :rolleyes: and i don't know about your school, but i know mine didn't really have a great rep for being secure :p
I did bring in my laptop once and a while, but being almost the only one in the school bringing a laptop, and having it be a shinny white mac kind of puts a target on your back for anyone that wants to ******* with you.
BOTTOM LINE: Imo just don't bring your laptop unless you can actually see the policy, it might not be a school policy, he might just be an ass hole, but don't screw with him.

well glad you got it figured out.
as for the folding apps, let me know what you tried, so i can help you get it working!
All is well now, I have a bigadv unit started on it as well as gpu folding. I took some fiddling around trying figure it out but it's cranking now, should see results soon. It did run one normal a3 unit in very quick time and the gpu is hitting about 14k ppd which is slow :p but I think the cpu is hogging all it's cycles.
I'll need to figure out how to adjust things to get them both running at best speed. And when the weather gets cooler I can try oc'ing this rig as well as the other 2 rigs.

I understand where you're coming from, but from what some other users are saying, the temperatures are actually the same. Someone mentioned that there was a bug with the CD processors that reported the temperatures incorrectly. So I guess this means your computer is running at the same temperature as before, but the reporting is now more accurate (as 10-20 degrees hotter). Unless, of course, people are noticing an increase in temperature by touch. That's a little different...
hmmm, this could be true. But, personally I've never bothered to look at my temperatures, so a firmware fix to fix this doesn't really affect me. Firmwares can be great, but also be wonky. So right now my machine is running how I want it to so taking that risk doesn't seem worth it for some "more accurate" temperature reporting.

Same here w/BestBuy...I was called on the 22nd and told the store would only have 5 phones then my girlfriend goes in today and they have 20 phones....so even though I cancelled my preorder and returned the $50 gift card I still had the pre-order form and they asked no questions so I gave no answer. Walked out swiftly w/my new iPhone!

I got a nice fast MBP 13 a little over a year ago. Then I got an MBA 11 for its portability. Worried whether it was different enough to be worth it. But now I use the MBP 13 far less often, it's become my desktop computer.
The MBP used to go places in a backpack or briefcase. The MBA 11 gets carried around like a magazine.
The MBA 11 is more portable than an iPad plus a small Bluetooth keyboard.

If you see a person who purchased a mobile phone in the last year, the chances are it is an iPhone.
I am pretty sure this report is saying that if someone bought a mobile phone in the last year there is a 19 in 20 chance it is NOT an iPhone.

If a teacher somewhere here in Europe would allow himself to seize private property, it would be a scandal and the teacher will most likely loose his job - rightly so. If it isn't like that in USA - then I am, frankly, shocked that a country which is supposed to be build on democracy is permitting such crude violation agains the basic constitutional order.
There are things like laws and basic rights (one of which is private property ownership). The school should not and can not "enforce school rules" by committing crime such as illegal property seizure. If using a laptop is agains the rules: you put the child out of the class and call his/her parents. If the child is playing with his phone during his exam, you fail him and call his/her parents. This is how the things should be done in a democratic, law-governed order.
To make things clear: the only cases when the property can be seized are: a) the property caries a clear and immediate danger (weapon, etc.), b) the property is not legal (drugs, alkohol in hands of a minor etc.), c) there is a court order permitting the seizure. Confiscation of a laptop is illegal and a criminal act under ANY law known to me. Sadly, people still insist on that "teachers can take stuff" thing, which is nothing more then a relic from old european teaching system. Interestingly enough, Europe has long moved ahead, yet judging from responses in this thread the USA still seem to miss the times of parental despotism.
I'm sorry to have to re-iterate my previous comment, but you're wrong and don't understand what you are talking about. I live in Europe (UK) and the law is very clear in that teachers have the power to confiscate items irrespective of its legal status, they also (believe it or not) have the power to search a students bag if they suspect inappropriate or illegal items are being taken on to school premises.
You may or may not like it, but i'm afraid what I state above is fact, it's law, in fact it was even re-itterated recently by the schools minister during the height of the mephedrone fad (prior to it being banned), in that teachers could confiscate pretty much anything if they possessed good reason. It has also been contested many many times by angry parents demanding their child's phone is not to be confiscated by the teacher, in the end the parents have no leg to stand on, the law is not on their side.

It seems like the guy who made it is trying to make a name for himself. No truth to the film... I think?

I assume the info is stored then uploaded to AT&T when the phone is back in service. I think this is a great idea but lets hope they act on the problem areas.

Okay, I just purchased the EyeTV app and it does allow you to stream pre-recorded video over the 3G connection. However, if you attempt to view live TV it says that requires a WiFi connection.
However, you can now record your own TV shows (or whatever) with the EyeTV hardware and view those same recordings with your iPhone over the 3G cellular network. On my first trial the image quality over 3G looks pretty bad, but it does play.
The quality over my local WiFi looks very good most of the time, but I did see some pauses and some random artifacts now and then. Also, the audio quality over WiFi seems a bit lacking, voices are okay but music sounds like you're under water (with significant and quite bad vibrato).

I agree, 100% i know didn't have the problem.

Oh, BTW, if products are announced as "ships today" then only flagship stores will have the products available immediately in-store right?

Runs smoothly at low settings on my iMac that barely meets the minimum specs, so I am very happy about that.
Played some Co Op with a PC-owning friend and had a real blast - such a fun and funny game.
And it is so exciting to see a same day release of a major game for both PC and Mac. Nice one Valve!
P.S. Comparing Portal 1 and 2 isn't really fair. Portal 2 is so much bigger and better than it's predecessor that comparing the two is like a trailer to a full movie.

Apple advantages:
- could be launched in a lot of countries (probably everywhere there currently is an iTunes Store)
Even though the iTunes Store exists in a lot of countries, far from all countries that have the store also have movies on offer. In Switzerland for example, movies only started to being offered last year. In Germany that happened in 2009.
Checking the first six letters of the alphabet (ie, countries starting with a,b,c,d,e,f), only six out of 23 offer movies.

Ok, what no one has brought up here is the fact that many university researchers live and die by funding. Somebody paid for this study. Most of this stuff doesn't get done for free. What these wackos count on is that someone will pay even more for the follow-up study on God knows what. Some of the money for this may even be coming out of *gasp* your tax dollars. Go ponder that while you go out for your run.
