habibbijanFeb 18, 10:29 PMSorry to dig this up, but I just found this thread. Most everything has already been covered, but I just thought that I would humbly submit a link to a piece I wrote on this same topic. Here's *my* list of ten free apps for OS X.

psimacApr 4, 02:43 PMThey have no relationship with me, because their subscription costs for the iPad app are so out of line. Maybe they should get with the program. And if you subscribe to the paper version, there's no incentive to get the iOS version.

These companies should be trying to get their content out to as many people as possible and sell advertising, so that they can survive. What if Netflix just sold thru their own system and charged high fees? They'd be Blockbusted now.

Wall Street Journal seems to be the only one that gets it.

mnkeybsnessJul 8, 05:58 PMfor all i know the icons are put in place by the application that creates them. i think you would need to hack each specific application.

KilamiteNov 11, 10:29 AMGiven the length of the original message and the terseness of Jobs' reply, it suggests that either he doesn't give a crap, or the iPad's virtual keyboard is a bit pants to type on.

Jobs always replies with short and sometimes witty responses.

mattwallace24Apr 28, 09:36 AMI think a lot of the Verizon fans are missing the boat on this topic.

This is about Apple expectations for the CDMA iPhone. I would think that Apple is sophisticated enough to bake all the reasons suggested her on this board (i.e. iPhone 5 release, Android adoption, etc) into their expectations.

I'm sure the CDMA iPhone product manager isn't sitting in his office in Cupertino thinking "damn, how did I miss that the iPhone 5 would impact this launch."

AT&T is still selling the heck out of the iPhone 3GS (at a discounted price of course), so there is obviously a population out there that doesn't delay every purchase waiting for the next great thing.

Leopard has to be announced and released before August, I hope.

SandboxGeneralMar 20, 09:16 AMYes you are certainly charging way too little. My basic sites start at $500 and go up from there depending on what the client wants. Usually I charge it by the job and in some cases, there will be add on's and I usually charge $50-$75 per hour for that work. I have a few NPO's and for them I start my quotes to them at $300 for the job.

From the sounds of this guy you're dealing with, I would just move on and forget him. Finish whatever you've started and end it there.

sfwalterApr 7, 09:55 AMI can send youtube videos to my Apple TV. However with the MLB iPad app I can't even though the MLB videos in the app have the icon for me to select Apple TV as an output device.

Is this something the MLB app is doing to prevent the videos from appearing on the tv. I thought since the video has the output selector control it would work.

EspekayenApr 13, 10:08 AMSome people need to chill out. If your 3GS (or whatever) is getting old and you need a new phone, then go and get one. Why are you waiting if your phone needs to be replaced? Either you can wait for the new iPhone or you can't. It will come out when Apple are good and ready to release it. They owe us nothing and have never made any official annoucements regarding the release date for the new iPhone.

Bottom line is this: you have two choices...

1) If you're not happy with waiting for the iPhone 5, then there are plenty of other phones to choose from. Vote with your feet.

2) If you want to stick with Apple, then stop complaining and just wait.

PlipPlopApr 20, 05:08 PMYou guys are hysterical.



Yup, and even counting all those devices, Apple is absolutely flattening Android.

Once again, for those keeping score at home:
Apple has the most popular OS
Apple has the most popular handset
Apple has the most profit
Apple has the most apps
Apple has the most developer revenue

Yeah, Android is really sticking it to iOS!

350k phones sold a day omg!

Meh, works either way.

TwinkieFeb 9, 02:51 PMHas anyone any experience of running Xara on Virtual PC ? If so, does it install and run ok, or is it like shovelling treacle?It runs. That's about all that can be said for it.

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.

ssspinballApr 4, 12:50 PMThis is another reason why I will likely just transfer my number to Google Voice for $20 + cancellation fees without losing my number. Currently my cost would be about $100 total for the change on top of a contract price of $299 (for 32GB model), so $399 instead of $549.

I'm at a loss for how GV makes any difference in this scenario. If you move to another carrier, you can port your number to that carrier and not lose the number, so how exactly does GV help?

You're aware that GV is NOT a carrier service right? All it does it route calls to the carrier(s) you are using...

eric_n_dfwApr 8, 09:11 AMI also would LOVE these games!
Add 'Paper Boy', 'Crystal Castles', and '720' I would be a happy camper.

Crystal Castles is in there (but tough to play with the faux track-ball).
Paper Boy would be cool, especially if they used the iPad gyro's as the controller!

In fact Star Wars arcade (and any of the Atari arcaded games that used that flight-yoke looking controller) using the gyro's would be awesome too. Road Blasters, Star Wars ROTJ both used it I think.

ZebraineZMar 24, 06:35 PMI mean like, I have the new brit Femme Fatale album, ripped it to FLAC.

I used MAX to convert it to ALAC and everything is fine, but when I checked the bit rates of each individual songs in iTunes they were different, is it supposed to be like this or is it some problem with MAX and how it encodes them?

Like one song would have 900 something and another song would have 1100 something, it's weird.

inkswampMar 31, 02:57 PMWow! Impressive work from Adobe. :eek:

You know, I was around in the mid-80s when the mouse and GUI first hit the market, and I recall the bickering amongst my fellow computer geeks about whether one could do real work with these new "toy" computers (which didn't phase me as I was also interested in desktop publishing and could sense where it was going.) Back then, there were merits to both sides of that debate, but over time, it's become clear that the mouse+GUI was far more powerful and flexible than at first perceived by the geek crowd.

I'm starting to see a lot of parallels between the touch interface devices and those days in the 80s. Every time I see/hear some geek declare the iPad a toy and useless for real work, I just think back to those days when my geek friends sneered at the Macs with the silly mouse and pretty GUI and wonder if history is repeating itself.

And then I see things like what Adobe is doing and I know it for a fact. We're seeing another revolution in computing happen, but most people won't acknowledge it for many years, until it's beyond obvious.



Number 41Apr 25, 12:51 AMWhere's the poll option for "only an idiot would buy an iPhone two months before WWDC?"



SPUY767Oct 2, 07:17 AMGod I hate Notes- it's an operating system on top of an operating system. It's databases are just a step up from Access and to be honest - it's a pig.

I've been forced to use the piece a crap for over 5 years (I'm a consultant) and it had brought me great pleasure to help large scale enterprises move away from this overstuffed piece of crap.

Is Exchange any better - yes and no - in general they both are crappy. The biggest advantage of Notes is that their CALs (licenses) are so cheep compared to Exchange/Outlook.

When I start looking for a new job - the first question I'll ask is which Universal Messaging Platform have you deployed in your Enterprise? If they answer "Notes" I'll know the following about their organziation:

1. They care more about the dollar than about usability and employee satisfaction
2. The VP of IT is probably sleeping with the IBM rep
3. The business only uses it because they don't know any better (they've been there too long and have never used anything other than Notes and AOL).
4. They think that Notes databases are cool and hip and truly believe Access is an enterprise level database
5. And finally, they are so damn stupid they probably have Lotus 123 and Word Perfect as their "Office Suite"

"Save me lord from these fools"

Incredibly well thought out comments. You should pat yourself on the back. I especially enjoyed this gem:

3. The business only uses it because they don't know any better (they've been there too long and have never used anything other than Notes and AOL).

That embodies ignorance. It is in fact, just the opposite, more companies use exchange because it's already there and they don't know any better, not to mention that MS practically forces you to use it and they attempt to make it so easy that a baboon could set it up. Notes is good if implemented properly, better than exchange for what it's designed for. I have a feeling you just wanted to flame, so I'm just going to ignore you from now on.

Toodles.



ConsultantFeb 21, 04:26 PMMost radio stations have streams that you can add yourself to iTunes.

Otherwise try apple.com/feedback



maclaptopApr 29, 10:25 PMWhen it comes to Samsung, Apples out of its league.

Given the terrific success of the pads & phones, this attack on Samsung by Apple is quite out of place.

Any resemblance between a Galaxy and iPhone is to Apples advantage anyway. Yet that said, Jobs has always been highly paranoid.

Don't worry somebody's already working on an app to block the tracking. You can bet on that:D

No, that already exists for cydia users...
