here's hoping they have fixed the light leakage issue plaguing the iPads that have shipped thus far otherwise they may as well push shipping Estimates out 6 months because these things are defective
I love it when Google/Samsung/Sony/Motorola employees create new MacRumors accounts (join date Mar 2011) just to try to propagate garbage like this. Obviously trying to start a new antennagate. If you can't beat them in sales, try to start some bogus stories in the blogs and hope the media picks up on it. :rolleyes:
THIS JUST IN: My iPad 2 is absolutely fine and its in my hands right now. Anybody else who really has one complaining?

I don't really get all the reactions, like it's the end of the world or something. If the iPhone 4 drops calls too much, just get another phone/operator? If it drops bars but doesn't drop your call or connection, then who gives a damn, seriously. You can either buy one and live with it/deal with it/love it or you can just get a refund.
And Steve Jobs is not a liar or crazy. He's a marketeer and a showman and will defend his Apple at all cost and will portrait his company as perfect and untouchable. Don't expect Apple to flat out admit that the iPhone 4 sux, because that would just be silly. That's just not how Apple does things. Either they are going to do a silent revision and fix it or just do nothing. Either way, it's your money, get something else if you don't like it. :rolleyes:

Suit 'n tie? "No thanks."
I believe ties are a carry-over from the 'old school tie' days, that the Brits gave us colonialists. Just a symbol of any given school snubbing their nose at another.
Damn inconvenient though, especially in the Summer.

I'm not sure what part of my post implies that I think this issue is of no concern. I am skeptical, however, that the poster I was replying to will actually find many "fun" ways to exploit it.I'm sorry for my mistaken interpretation.
Perhaps we should help Antares by thinking of new and inventive ways to use this tracking ability. They don't have to be evil purposes.
For example, it would come in handy when planning a surprise party. "The sensor at the gate has been tripped - everybody needs to take their hiding places!"
Or it could be used to track shoes stolen at the gym. When you come running out of the building saying "which way did the thief go?", somebody who routinely tracks everyone near that building would be able to say "they went thataway!"
Or how 'bout a customer recognition system at the shoe store? When a customer walks in wearing transmitting Nikes, the store clerk can check if they are a repeat customer, see a display of their name, and say "Hi, Mr. Smith. Welcome back!" with a big smile. That could help make another sale. If their shoe ID wasn't already in the computer when the customer made a purchase, they would note it for the next time.

Not much to report here. Other than a few cosmetic tweaks, it's the same as Tiger for me.
Hope it gets better than this on release.

I'm hoping the press confrence is to tell us that Steve's been fired!
The guy has screwed up big time....but of course (some of) you guys wont agree because you would happily lick his boots!
The guy needs to be removed - he's done.
Wait wait wait a minute, you want this guy to the thing that puts food on his table for his family just over a product flaw which didn't affect that many people, yet was hyped by the media? (Well, hat's what I've read, I've seen numerous people say their iPhone 4 is perfectly fine minus the usual AT&T crap).
Onto the main thing, I'm just looking forward to the Press Conference in 5 or so hours. It's funny that no-one seems to really know what'll happen.

Only problem is there aren't 10 million units in the consumers hands, more like 6 to 8.
Consider that, and the fact that most people I know that bought a launch 360 have had to replace it at least once(for some it was 3 to 5 times) - and your well beyond 0.1%
Although you could say the same thing for Sony's blunders, like DRE.
(but that would mean you have to say something positive about Sony)
All I hear is how crappy PS2 hardware was, and how 360 issues are blown out of proportion........ :rolleyes:

I've installed the upgrade on my MB, it seemed to be quicker going to sleep (light flashing) after closing the lid but not sure if that's related to how many apps I've got running/swapped out compared to normal ie not as many.
However, I tried it a few more times and it failed to find my preferred wireless network on one occasion. I was hoping I wouldn't see this happen again!
Temperature seems unaffected (monitored with coreduotemp) - I've had the all the previous EFI/SMC firmware upgrades installed. CPU frequency (according to coreduotemp) still seems stay at 2Ghz for the majority of the time though, prior to the last lot of firmware upgrades I'm sure it used to step down a lot more.

Yea I had the same problem as well, I really loved the 11 macbook air but than after awhile I switched back to the 13 inch macbook air b/c my neck cant handle it anymore and I feel really clastrophobic. It hurts real bad so I dont think I will be going back to the 11 inch any sooner.

Nokia is only enforcing the legal right to attempt to protect what they consider is misuse of their IP. Let them.
Why does everyone get their knickers in a bunch about this? If they have a case it'll be upheld, if they don't then the court will throw it out. Big deal. Blame litigation happy America if you have to.
EDIT: Oh and to people saying why has it taken so long to bring an action - these corporate matters can take a while to rumble through. Yes, commercial pressures do have an impact on when cases are brought - trust me, it happens an awful lot!

erg not really. you do only have 2 holes in your head as you say, but your hearing is more advanced than that. your brain always factors in all the other elements, like your head position, so your brain notices and calculates the volumes of incoming sounds, so you can distinguish where things are in relation to you. obviously, your brain can't do that with headphones.
No reproduction system is perfect in all environments. When your brain translates a sound, it positions it relative to your head-- a sound in front of you will sound like it's coming from the right if your head is turned left. This is why you tend to look at something before you can react to it. If you have more time to react, your brain will probably work it out correctly.
As you say, headphones alone can't track head movement so the environment will appear to rotate with your head. If you're trying to simulate a fixed environment, or coordinate with an immersive display, then you'll need to deal with this somehow. They have the advantage, however, of being able to collapse the combined impact of a sound field into two point sources directly at the sensors (your ear canals).
Headphones have the additional complication that we position sound vertically by the filter effect of the fleshy parts of our ears-- which are different for every individual. Most systems use a generalized filter to approximate an average ear, whatever that means.
Open air speakers are trying to reproduce a sound field from a small number of point sources and can only produce the desired effect on one location in space, and the listener has to remain there. They also suffer from channel cross talk and reflections from walls and objects in the reproduction sound space that aren't intended to be in the simulated sound space. The Dolby home theater type systems are essentially two dimensional in the plain of the ceiling and floor, which causes problems if you're trying to get 3D sound, or sound indicating the vertical alignment of a computer display.
For positioning screen effects, headphones will probably win since they don't have to compensate for the environment and the user is almost certainly looking at the display fixed in front of them. Since the simulation environment is essentially two dimensional (the display), you might also get away with fixed speakers positioned around the display and ignore the cross talk and reflections. In either case, you'd also have to assume a distance from the display to the user and assume the user is centered.
Nothing simple is going to work in all cases...

Until they come out with an iPod with a widescreen display I don't see the point.
Because it's really easy to connect an iPod to your TV and watch your videos that way. There are also several peripherals (http://podophile.com/2006/07/26/memorex-announces-iflip-video-player-for-ipod/) coming out soon that add a larger wide screen to the iPod. And don't forget watching videos on your MacBook or MacBook pro.

Apple dugg a huge hole for themselves. They played with the marketing and PR department promising a truly revolutionary product like it is the case with each new iteration of the iphone and then the ppl believed and thought they REALLY REALLY need to have it.
Once they got it in their hands, they got offended that it is not working like they were told. It�s understandable on one hand but on the other it�s just pure irony that the ppl really believe they need a new cell phone every year. :rolleyes:
It�s both sad and genius on Apple�s part.

Its not.. It is Yasha Mykhaylovych - Yasha is the Ukrainian/slavic name for Joshua.. Mykhaylovych is my patronomic or middle name. Plus, I have a son named Yasha also.
Omg you have offspring, poor kid. Being a russian/ukrainian myself, i've never dealt with your type of attitudes in my community.
