Now watch: Apple will introduce the iTunes movie store this year, but Lions Gate films will be missing.

i work for a company with close to 300 employees and we won't upgrade to vista anytime soon. maybe in two years. or later. xp simply is good enough for everything we do.
my guess is that the consumer sector will drive the switch because they buy new comps with vista oem on them and switch that way. businesses will follow much later.

Tunisia. They outlawed burkha/hijab/niqab in 1981 (i.e. 16 years before Turkey did).

Two words: UI responsiveness. The huge boost the A4 provides makes the iPhone 4 worlds better than the iPhone 3/3GS. In relation to Android devices, their UI responsiveness SUCKS, even when they're running a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, which makes using them an exercise in frustration.
My peer has the iPhone 4...and I use it here and there...I really don't think there's anything different in regards to snappiness. Inherently there SHOULD be a bit more speed on the 4 but it's nothing I've noticed.
iOS rocks the socks off Android from a UI responsiveness perspective, and this is a CRUCIAL PIECE in growing and maintaining a user base. Most people don't care about the tech specs. They just want a device that meets their needs and feels "fast," and Apple has been able to provide that far better than any other smartphone maker.
I haven't seen the Android for long periods of time...but the A devices I've seen and used are very snappy. Of course, everything takes a bit of time to learn to use so you can't just say the Android sucks. Android is selling more than iPhone...the facts are in. :) Android doesn't suck. Maybe a particular device running Android but that's like blaming Microsoft because your HP/Dell/Compaq/Toshiba(insert your vendor here) has 1 particular model that ain't so great.
I'd love to get the iPhone 5...but my contract is up in Sep, the iPhone 5 is gonna be here in 2012 according to Apple and other sources. Can I wait? I dunno...and what will the iPhone 5 have that will ENTICE me to keep me as an Apple customer? If it's simply a (like the iPad 2) faster chip and more internal memory and 1 or 2 features(while, say, the Android has all sorts of better/cooler features), then nope...it's Android time.
I don't have a billion apps like some folks. My iPhone is really a video camera/camera, web surfer, and emailer device which I occassionally run an app like ESPN Scorecenter. The iPhone really needs to fix some simple PHONE features/annoyances like the Contact list, a Redial feature, and a few other things. Not to mention the years-old problem(s) of long voice memos and/or video footage that cannot be trimmed or synched with the almighty iTunes. Lame.
Overall I LOVE my 3GS...but sooooo many cool(er) phones and features out there this year that when my contract ends, I will shop wisely.

I would say it's more like:
nike: "air jordans have a new improved, wax coated lace"
customer: "HEY! my laces won't stay tied! I fell on my face! the shoe is defective!"
nike: "the shoe is not defective, but if you are having problems with the laces coming untied, you can replace the laces with the standard laces"
customer: NO! I'd rather fall on my face over and over again untill nike changes the design of the shoe!"
anyway...sorry about the book i wrote earlier. Long night.
So you agree that the antenna/laces need to be changed?

I am glad that at least in Europe this travesty daring to call itself beer will not be allowed to sully the name of Budweis. The true, real Budweiser (Budweiser Budvar Brewery) is actually a very tasty Lager unlike that deer piss Anheuser Busch sells in the US, which under the rules of the bavarian purity manifest isn't even beer at all.
Awesome.
Cheers,
Ahmed

Best Buy sells all of the big name phones for all major carriers, and they have a dedicated section of the store for mobile phone purchases, so they can easily activate your phone or look up your existing contract. I've had several phones activated at Best Buy and not once have I had a problem.
*** Where is the best place to pre-order at? Or is it better just to wait in line at one of the stores and get it that day? If you pre-order, you won't get it on launch day, 24th, will you?

I'd like to see something like this for O2 (in the UK).
I don't have an iPhone, and I don't really have any coverage problems, but there are some semi-rural areas that I think should be covered but aren't.

I've been reading through this thread and noticed how nearly everyone is focused on Apple entering the "cell phone" market. I can't believe how the majority of you actually feel that Apple will make a cell phone? And you're all going to ditch your RAZR when it comes out...
Apple is not going to, and will never, enter the cell phone market. They are designing a WiFi phone to compete with the new VoIP phones that are emerging: http://tools.netgear.com/skype/, http://news.zdnet.co.uk/communications/wireless/0,39020348,39187936,00.htm. Does the name "iChat Mobile" making anymore sense now?
You can quote me on that!

You look for equivalence where we have stated none. We have simply stated that her choices endangered her own life. She is a victim of herself. That is our only point.Speak for yourself. You clearly stated that she should bear sole responsibility.
"She made a bad judgement call and if she was to die because of it, she should be sole responsible." These were your words.
Your tone will not be missed.

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!

Just because a couple of geeks running MacRumours think this is front page worthy doesn't mean it is.
This just in, a game came out for Mac!
It's more embarrassing to the OS then anything.
You are a perfect candidate to start your own news website. And just think, you wouldn't have to do anything today!
PS: Who the ---- rates these threads negative? Ha ha! Id think its either positive or "meh, not interested". But negative?
You know the rating system is just too basic here.
This isn't like iTunes or those other similar services. Once you buy something on Steam, unless you lose your account somehow then you have that game forever. You can download it on as many computers as you like.
That's for audio files, which are controlled by the actual owners, which are NOT Apple or Amazon. Apps you can re-download, since they have different legal standing and contracts.

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.
There is a fine fine FINE line.
Steve wrote to me (yes - I'm the one of the people he wrote to at the beginning) and told me it was a non issue. If it's a non issue - why the open letter? Why the press conference? Why the bad press?
During this whole scenario - Steve, while I don't disagree is a great marketeer, has been Apple's WORST enemy. He might be a genius. He might think he knows what customers want or need.
But - in regards to this ISSUE - he doesn't know how to communicate effectively or appropriately to his customers.

#3 - They just experienced a catastrophe so horrific, it's brining the people together, not apart. Similar to how 9/11 did in America.
#4 - Disaster zone is in very specific areas, and everything in those areas is essentially completely destroyed. Several blocks away, things are relatively untouched.
