With the 5th anniversary of the iPod, Newsweek spoke with Steve Jobs (http://msnbc.msn.com/id/15262121/site/newsweek/) about the iPod, iTunes Store and Zune as a potential threat.
According to Jobs, one major reason for the iPod's success was its relative simplicity:

But backups and updates are critical for such a device. That is my whole point... Are you arguing that it does not need ota syncing or just arguing? Obviously its serviceable without tethering, but you do need to sync it to a computer for it to work. Thats like if I had to plug my scooter into my car just to get it going. It makes it a luxury and not a necessity.
OMG, stop with car analogies. Cars are not analogous to computers.
Your computer can't backup by itself, either. You need backup software and hardware to do so. Backing up to the same drive is possible, but stupid. And before you say that SL and Win7 include backup software, the last few years is the first time any PC ever did. I guess all those PCs from 1975 until Time Machine came out weren't actually computers, either.
My kids' graphing calculator is a computer. Get over your semantics.

If your going to criticize the grammar your comments should be directed at Apple. Have seen the front page of apple.com?
It's perfectly acceptable form for a short, succinct advert. It isn't a large block of text. I'm not sure what you're going on about.

Just my luck I was gona take my macbook in for RSD tomorrow to get the heatsink replaced and now they come out with this fix. There is defiantly something wrong with the hardware though(i believe the heatsink has burned through some of the wires) besides the random shutdown when my system is at idle my fans will kick in suddenly at full speed then run for about a minute that fast or sometimes cut out completely then start up again. Something that it never did before rsd developed.
I bet if i take it in tomorrow they will just tell me to apply this update which does nothing to solve the damage that has already been done to my macbook. My guess this is a fix apple has done to get them out of the 1 year warranty period were the macbook will then develop further hardware problems. Then you will have to pay out of pocket to get it fixed unless you buy apple care. Also this temporary patch helps them sell more apple care subscriptions.
All i can say is i better not have hardware issues after my year is up or I'm done with apple :(

This might be silly, but there is nothing particularly 'Apple' about that sign. Other than the beautiful white typeface against black canvas, of course. As people have pointed out, it isn't Myriad set. Why would Apple change their font for one banner? Do they do this regularly?
Isn't it possible that this sign belongs to another company showcasing software etc at Macworld? Doesn't Apple normally have some sort of branding on their banners?
Excuse the ignorance if I have no idea.

LMAO, what did you think this was going to be? Drop a few bombs and disappear? The talk now is that these Rebels fighting Gaddafi have plenty of Al Qaeda in their ranks. This is not going to be a quick in-n-out. Obama's illegal war will be his legacy (well, that and his failed socialized medicine scheme).
Well, I'm certainly glad you're not letting blind partisanship guide your thinking...:rolleyes: Oy.

I actually like the idea of wireless communication on iPods. They could do it exactly like "sharing"in iTunes. Imagine you sitting somewhere in the underground or bus, taking out your iPod, checking "other iPods" on the main menu, browsing through the playlist and thinking: "hey, this guy/girl has a good music taste". You could see what she/he's listening to ("now playing") and listen to it. And if you see the other person rocking his head to the same song you're hearing, you know it's the right one. And if this person happens to share it's profile (contact information), you can get the phone number etc...
Kinda like meeting people on the internet by their profile, but here you can just walk up to the person and go on from there.
Compatible car radios could receive the digital signal streamed from your iPod. No wires, no crappy fm-transmitted sound quality. :)
PS: "Can I put my earbud into your ear?" is kinda close to "can I put my p*nis into your v*gina?". So I guess girls could be offended.

I hope they hold true to the June date. If apple does not announce on their website is this an indication the date might slip?
So will this also be available at the apple store also?

I know this is a fake (now) but I'm really hoping they release by the first week in April. I finally got my company to approve me a MacBook Pro 17" (was pretty easy actually, but nevertheless...) to go in tandem with my 24" iMac (2.8GHz C2D) and we have our national conference in Las Vegas this April that I'll be attending, and we'll need to do on-site video and photo editing (graphic designer here).
It was hard for IT to come in and say "ok, what do you want" (pretty much a blank check) and tell them to wait until early April. They don't blame me though, I have a Quad Core i5 750 in my Windows machine and it screams, I'll wait for the performance boost.

An image I took earlier in the year.
I've been desperate to get out and shoot again, but with all the nasty weather in QLD lately & being busy with work I haven't.
Looking forward to some time off in April to get out & stretch the finger.

i hope the eventually come out with the macpod concept featured in icreate and also on one of these pages. this would be great and i think that is is a better solution to the screen realestate issue because i know that the finger prints on my psp are anoying and if you are to be constantly scrolling in a circle on this new ipod it would only take a little dirt on the screen to create a permanent "scratch" wheel on your screen and thats about a anoying as watching drawn together through a scratched agent 18 case on a ipod with video.

Don't forget that AT&T is *massively* pissed at Apple and Steve Jobs right now. They intentionally torpedoed iPhone sales right before the holidays to punish Jobs for doing *something* really wrong.
What could that be? I bet it has to do with another carrier. Apple doesn't (yet) own 700mhz spectrum, and they *do* make a line of delicious mobile products that are crying out for always-on mobile bandwidth. Verizon is still hurting from snubbing the iPhone; who wants to bet that they sold Jobso a bunch of bulk spectrum for Macbooks or iTablets?

I totally agree. Whenever I read news stories about Apple on Yahoo! Finance, I see comments that vilify Apple for being a "greedy corporation" that sent jobs to China. I'm getting sick and tired of those phony patriots who have the gall to call Apple a greedy corporation for manufacturing things in China to save money, even though those same people happily buy cheap goods without caring in the least if they're made in China or not.
Here's food for thought for all of them. Some of the best Android phones on market, like the HTC EVO 4G, is made in Taiwan. HTC is a Taiwanese company. Where's the vitriol for HTC? Where's the outpouring of patriotism, where they refuse to buy a product made in "repressive China?"
The difference being HTC is a Taiwanese company... Apple is an "American" company. You know, Designed in Cupertino...

As for your trip, you don't need to rig anythig up. I have a Belkin SportCommand (http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/belkin-sportcommand-fabric-remote-for-ipod/) that works great on the bike. I just strap it to my left thigh and have full control over the iPod stuffed in a bag. Just drop your hand down to the control and you don't even have to take your eyes off the road.
See, I think that's unnecessarily complicated. I only need one button to handle play, pause, next and previous with a rocker for volume and this doesn't necessarily have to be separated.
I'm not sure how I want to do the GPS and if the iPhone will be a part of my panel or if I'm just going to use BMW's unit. I ended up doing some pretty neat things with my iPhone in Burma, Cambodia and Uganda so I'm leaning towards use the iPhone as the primary. Anyway, how I set up my gear will affect how I set up my control scheme. I don't know yet, but I'm going to experiment with it over the next year.
South American ride? I want to go!
I'm giving myself a year. Want to learn some Spanish. :)
I had this planned out a year or two ago but the guy I was going to ride with changed his mind and decided to do it by bicycle instead and I ended up getting suckered into another series of assignments on the ass end of the planet.
Rain or shine, starting in the summer of 2012. Gotta start before the end of the world. :)

I�ve always wondered about a ROC company with manufacturing in the PRC, especially since the PRC seems to want to muscle the ROC out of existence.
Politically on the surface, that may be the case, but economically, China and Taiwan are closely linked, so inking ROC out of existence will have huge repercussions for China and its businesses.

I'll see if I can find it, but I wouldn't boast about having Asperger's, it's better to boast about being an NT (Myers-Briggs personality type)
I was joking. I don't think we need a society of of Dr. House walking around.
Me = INTJ, if you were curious. :P

There are a lot of haters on this site. And I mean a LOT.
Plus there are a few people who have zero connection with reality. The type of people who ignore COGS, have no understanding of the economics of consumer electronics manufacturing and marketing, and disregard the basic laws of Newtonian physics. Basically, people who live in an effing dreamworld based on an totally domestic American worldview largely based on sci-fi movies and pop culture, with no real world experience as a contributor to a global economy.
It sounds like you are describing a large percentage of Apple users.

Off topic I know, but that iPod release thread is even better than Slashdot's 2001 coverage of the original iPod.
"$400 for an Mp3 Player!
I'd call it the Cube 2.0 as it wont sell, and be killed off in a short time...and it's not really functional."
And the award of prescience goes to:
"We live in the YEAR 2001... not 6000 years from now when ridiculously awsome technology will exist. No other mp3 player has a harddrive like this... 5gigs... **** yeah. A rio of the same size offers 64megs. Jesum Crow, get over your moping.. .this is revolutionary.... plus it's just the beggining. This device litterally bests anything on the market by about 100x"
and to:
"Apple hit a HOME RUN with this thing, and just as always proved that there's no one that can make products like them. Way to go Apple!"
(To which a hilarious response is:)
"Without a future. This Christmas you will see mp3 players be commoditized. Meaning that the players from Korea will be way less expensive tha iPod."
Too funny. That's why I reserve judgement. :)

You guys are missing the point.
Obviously the '64-bit' refers to the fact that the new Apple machines are going to have a slot to plug in Nintendo 64 cartridges...
I thought that was a little obvious at this point but I guess I was wrong.
