Again, I don't feel entitled to something, my frustration isn't with the Dev Team, it's with Apple.
I agree with the frustration with Apple.
In someways, I feel bad that I have had to JB my iOS devices. But it is frustrating that it is what is necessary to try to have a reasonable experience.
For example, from the get go, I don't have to swipe to unlock. Why is something so basic not built in to the control panel? If I want to turn off Swipe To Unlock, I should be able to, period!
I find it very frustrating that I can't connect my USB card reader and read CF memory cards. My choice to upgrade from 3.2, but frustrating nonetheless.
I also should be able to change the default browser, display anything I want to VGA, change my brightness with a couple of clicks, put more on my dock, etc.
On the other hand, it is hard to dispute the number of quality apps. I know I am not married to Apple, so, if and when there is a device and OS equal to the iPad/iOS, I will have NO qualms about switching.

Stopped reading there.
Then you might as well stop reading MacRumors altogether.
Besides, this analyst has a fairly good track record. But as you said, you didn't read that part.

why do u hate the magic mouse so much, i love mine, only thing i dont like about it is the battery life, that sucks
Honestly, mate, I don't know where to start...
1). it's heavy. Feels like I'm dragging a brick.
2). the whole unibody thing, whereby the buttons are 'hidden', and you have 'lean' on the edges of it? Design gone mad.
3). the Apple 'gestures' that it supports? Big f**kin' deal.
4). it runs on batteries - which means that its batteries can run out.
5). start again at 1).
Horrible. I probably could've got �30 for it on eBay... but it just stank, so I gave it to my Dad, who'd just bought a Mini. He thought it stank too, and put it in a drawer.
In my opinion? Rubbish. Emperor's New Clothes: "hey, Apple-brains! Use this new piece of crap! It's rrrrrreally awesome! And only �57...!!!"
I never want to see one again, in my life.
The lack of a physical scroll wheel with detents will always deter gamers, especially those that need precision scrolling (i.e. switching between weapons).
Yeah. What he said, too.

This has probably been asked before but I couldn't find a specific situation that directly related to mine. I have a 32GB USB flash drive. I have a MBP. I want to plug my USB flash drive in, drag the iTunes music to the flash drive, remove the flash drive, plug it into my new mac, open iTunes on the new mac, drag and drop the iTunes album from the flash drive to the into the iTunes library. Is this possible? Will they transfer over properly? I want to make sure I get my album art with the music. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Have not tried this, but it seems straightforward. I would think if the album art does not transfer, you could try and " get album art" as you would normally and it would fetch it all?

Bah, you have to register to view images? Sheesh. The site is never going to take off like that. I'd rather spend that time going to a decent Wallpaper site without the hassles of registration.
Yeah, yeah.. I'm lazy, I know.

I had my previous battery for about 4 years. I replaced it with a Nupower battery when I started getting charges of up to 88% and it would die in about an hour. I went with Nupower (bc I don't like to give Apple my money) and they advertise 5% more battery life. I have been unable to get it to charge to 100%. It stops at 99% and lasts about 2 and a half hours of just regular internet reading (no special programs, videos, etc...). I am wondering if I have a defective battery and if it should last longer?

Good advice so far.
One other thing. Photoshop needs a scratch disk. Dedicate the first partition (I think about 50GB?) of one of your fast internal disks as the scratch disk. The drive should not be the one that has your applications, or OS on it. I use the same drive that has my image library. Basically you want the disk to be available only to PS when it needs it.
Good Luck.
If you go with a current Mac Pro, and if you put images on an external drive, make sure it's FW 800 drive. The speed increase over USB is well worth it. Unless it's your back up drive, 'cause nobody cares how long the backup takes at 3am.
Personally, I wouldn't buy a Mac Pro (unless I absolutely needed to) unto the just released Thunder Bolt technology made it into the Mac Pros. The current best info is that TB will not be an add-in card into current Mac Pros.
If the new Mac Pros with TB are too pricey, the older (now the current versions) Mac Pros will be discounted. I think a lot of professionals are going to hold off buying a new Mac Pro until the TB enabled ones come out. Apple is going to need to clear the old stock.
all of this imho, of course.... and worth every penny you paid for it...
Thanks for explaining how to create a scratch disc and answering my question that one's photo library drive is not dedicated.
I have followed the MBP release and I wondered when rather than if, the Mac Pro will be refreshed. Thanks for reiterating my concern since the MBP release.
Also, your "wait and buy" plan is sound! I waited a few months thus far. I hope the new Mac Pro is annouced this month! Nonetheless, thanks for sharing your thoughts kind Sir! :cool:

Hi guys,
I'm working on a project in Corona SDK (omg if you never used it its amazing! I can't tell you how much faster my projects been going since I switched from hand coding everything to using Corona.)
Anyway I want to make my app universal but I can't seem to find way to load images specific to the iPad without having to scale them.
For the iPhone 3Gs and the iPhone 4G Corona uses Apples model of @2x to load different resolution images, but is there a way to also do this for iPad?
I know its a super long shot and this isn't the best forum to ask in but since I didn't buy Corona yet I don't have access to their forums.

My friends and I have set up a non-for-profit society at university. My role in the society is the website. Where can I find free CGI hosting? We don't accept money from members and so can't afford to pay any money. At the moment we are on geocities (yuk!). I just want to set up some perl scripts. I would also need to ability to add modules (i.e. date/time modules) too probably.
Does anyone offer free CGI hosting?

Convenience is the key. Everyone carries their cell phone with them so it's way more convenient to pull it out and play a casual game than a separate portable game device.
I think it's going to kill devices like the DS as the games get better and the smart phone platforms more powerful. It's not going to happen tomorrow, but portable game systems days are numbered.
