I appreciate arn's hard work, and think standard-compliance is great news.
I have to admit, though, that in terms of look-and-feel, I prefered the old design, due to its less-is-more approach and clean, minimalist design. Like others have stated, I, too, feel the new design is too dense and information-laden. I would prefer it if the new left column weren't there, for a cleaner, less cluttered look.
I also don't care too much about the dark brown color (this was there before, I know) and think grey might fit nicer with the blue hues on the site, but that's a personal preference.
I also don't see why the new tabs have to be pseudo 3-d. Sure, Apple is using their trademark aqua look for tabs on their website, but aside from them, many are going back from the 90s 3-d look to cleaner, contemporary 2-d, such as in the iPod campaign (I also don't get too excited about the tan tab color, but again, that's just me).
I hope I'm not sounding too negative here, as I overall very much appreciate the re-design efforts and important changes and think on balance it's a great job.

I might line up at Laval.
Anyone have info on if we can buy just the phone, without a plan, and then jailbreak it so it can use my current rogers plan?
This launch is going to be so lame, I doubt you'll need to line up anywhere.
You can use your existing Rogers plan and carry it through. Data will be 5� KB ($5/MB, or approximately $7 to view www.macrumors.com. ~$12 to view a Facebook page with a lot of apps on it.)
I recommend not buying it. Go with the Samsung Instinct. $10 unlimited data.

You'll be lucky to get the case on over the invisableshield on the back. I know I couldn't with my Incase Slider on my 3G.. Had to peel it off. Save your money and just put one on the front.
Not sure how much, if at all, the back is scuffed up, nor do I much care since it will always be in a case.

i may be interested in the TV adapter, has anyone tried it at all, like if you hooked up sound to go into your tv as well would it be delayed? or to play games?
please post your experiences as this is a good deal for me
Neither video or sound is delayed. I use my adapter all the time and it works great. I have better luck using composite than S-Video though, but you may have a different experience.

If I remember correctly, I've seen this kind of thing happen in other devices. Basically a little switch in the headphone jack that tells the computer that headphones are plugged in is stuck. Try wiggling something in the headphone jack, or inserting in and out a headphone plug.

That could be quite a challenging philosophical statement.
Ah! True! In this case, I will put it down as poor translation from my native tongue.

Hi,
Please can someone clarify or help me to understand my situation :
On the 30 March, I placed a online order with Apple UK for Apple Care Plan and iMac (both to be shipped within 24h). Today, 31 March, I received a package from TNT UK, and that is only the Apple Care Plan.
Where is the iMac ?
I phoned TNT UK and they told me that they never picked up a iMac. I phoned Apple, and when explaining my situation, the guy suddenly said "And you did not receive your iMac ?" (sounded not surprised).
Apple is contacting TNT and TNT is contacting Apple, since, no answer from both sides.
Could it be that the iMac (stock model) is not shipping from UK so TNT UK cannot trace it ?

I'm not using Corona SDK, but wondering about how it works. I saw the youtube vid on it and the code doesn't look like Obj-C, it looks like something more like c++ without ";" at the end.
Is this an engine that runs off a script? What control do you have over performance tuning? How does it intergate with regular iPhone app code, if you wanted to put code in your game that stopped and displayed an ad for your web site, could you do that?
Just based on the demo video, it looks like it would do great for simple games, but I would be concerned over level of control. If a game starts to do well, you might decide that you need to tweak it a certain way, I wonder if this allows low-level coding.

The problem is that Microsoft doesn't know how to play from behind the competition, especially with a device that only serves one purpose and can't really be improved enough to catch people's attention. It was a silly decision to jump in the market so late in the game.
Bingo. Microsoft saw another industry that was making money so they decided to jump in to try and cash in the new cow.
Considering that both Sony and Microsoft have a diverse range of products (game consoles, phones, computers, software), it's surprising that neither of them have been able to make larger strides with their respective offerings.
I've only known two people who owned a Zune. One was a Windows sysadmin (now interested in iOS development), and the other was a person who likely was trying to avoid the mainstream by NOT getting an iPod.

Someone was kind enough to provide a V 1.0 but when I tried to put it on the iPad with such software it didn't work. It actually provided a DRM type error. Unfortunately it appears it does have DRM even though it is free. It looks like the only way is for someone to run some software on a working copy on their iPad to be able to clean it up for someone else to use ;(

Is there any way to mute the iPad completely, for real? I'm tired of never being able to open a new program when I need it muted because any given app's settings might require me to turn off the sound separately, even if the iPad is on mute. This is the silliest problem I've ever encountered - there must be a way to mute it system-wide, right?

A bunch of Microsoft's Zune "engineers" (which train do you drive?) live in my building. They're complete jerks, and aggressively vulgar toward anyone they see with an iPod.
I hope they enjoy listening to their precious Zunes while standing in line at the unemployment office.
DIAF, boys and girls.

Try deleting the backup you have now. You can do so by opening up the Preferences pane in iTunes, and going to the "Devices" tab. Then let iTunes try to make a fresh backup from scratch.

Oh really? Care to enlighten me then grand wizard. You show me sources that broadcast in the deep color realm (30,36,48-bit color depths), and THEN you show me the displays that support that color depth. Why do you think there is such a big argument amongst displays/component manufacturers on the merits of HDMI 1.3. If Anthem, the maker of my $6500 Statement D2 video processor, didn't feel it was necessary to add 1.3 support, then I think that's a pretty good indication of the progress of deep color support. HDMI is the same exact thing in terms of video transport as DVI - smaller connector, with a different pin mapping.

8-bit(24bit) is plenty, for a long time.
...and besides, this discussion was about DisplayPort and it's usefulness, when we already have HDMI. Maybe you don't know so much about topic discussion.
I thought that this thread is about ACDs and I believe that they are primarily used other than watching broadcast tv.
There are already displays with xvYCC and it's gamut is so big that 8-bit colors will show banding. 8-bits are enough for ntsc gamut, but not bigger.
Next versions of bd / hd-dvd specs will include xvYCC and h.264 broadcasts will probably use xvYCC also in the future.
ACDs are also used a lot in professional video post production and there is need for more than 8-bit colors. Also high quality photography needs more than 8-bits. All DSLRs have had deeper color depth than 8-bits from day one.
8-bits is enough when display's real contrast ratio is about 300:1, but when we already have displays that have contrast ratio way beyond that, there is banding on a carefully profiled display. 256 brightness levels just isn't enough. That's why sdi has had 10-bits for a decade.
So there really is need for more than 8-bits with displayport or any other way. Even average consumers will notice that within a lifetime of a new ACD.
When I buy expensive high quality devices like displays, I want them to be high quality at least half of their life, not just now.

Good god, are you seriously suggesting that if you don't need a 2560 x 1600 resolution you don't need a computer? Hahaha... just quit while you're behind, man.

The only thing I can think of is that your iPod (or, not likely, iCal) is stuck on a wrong timezone (there are some half timezones), but it seems like a long shot...
...of cource the clock is correct on both, right...? ;)
