I do think that Apple has ditched the iPhone 3G a bit prematurely.

I could also buy a dog and track down a person by sniffing their scent. Don't see the media making a big deal about that one
Yes, someone should contact the manufacturers and lobby them to use cryptographic techniques to stop this... :rolleyes:

I'm not sure where this school is, or what level it is, but it's a damn shame that we have educational institutions out there that don't allow and even encourage students to bring computers to school. The education system needs to catch up with technology and learn how to teach using it. I'm not saying this is happening in all schools, but to ban the use of computers in school is seriously backwards. It's time the education system moves forward into the 21st century.
And no, OP should not have given up his computer. He should have demanded to be taken to the administrator so that he could call his parents to pick up the computer. This is a privacy issue, and not set of rules should be able to challenge these basic civic rights. If the IT had proof that OP was doing something illegal, then take it to the cops; otherwise, he should have politely asked OP to turn off his computer and not bring it to school anymore�because you see, the school is too retarded to allow students to bring laptops to school for educational purposes.

And as much as I love Apple, this is the thing that annoys me. Is it a good business model? I suppose. But some of the other companies announce their product offerings months in advance (albeit without release dates or prices), just so their customers (and developers) know what's coming. Apple plays everything so close to the vest that customers (like us) are left to speculate on when (or if) a new iPhone will be released, with no official information--no hints, tips, etc.--to point us in the right direction.
Oh, well.
If Apple were to telegraph every move, this site would no longer exist. What would be the fun in that?

I am hoping for a late launch. The later the launch, the higher the odds of the iP5 running LTE. I can sit on my hands a bit longer to get a much faster data connection. Data is what modern phones are about.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
Seriously, folks... There are far worse privacy problems, such as RFID tags in passports. Researchers in the UK have already "cracked" that security. RFID tags on credit cards have also been "cloned".
Who cares if someone gets your unique ID of your Nike shoe transmitter? It's a useless number. If someone gets your passport or credit card information, that's far worse.

Definitely Will Happen:
•Mail and iCal updated to resemble Mobile Me
•Interface updated to resemble Mobile Me (more helvetica, less gloss)
Would Be Nice:
•Major focus on graphics performance. Perhaps of a way for an 3D App (i.e a game) to monopolize the CPU and GPU, like in Windows.
•Dropstack and tabs in Finder, to obviate the need for Path Finder (for me)
• New File System, whatever they started to work on after the ZFS licensing fell through.
• Bring back the normal audio/video controls in the Finder
• Tags
• iChat removed from the OS. New Mac and Windows versions with FaceTime, available immediately.
• Faster way to switch to Bootcamp in the Apple Menu (this was a feature in a beta, and they took it out.)
• Better-looking folder icons with COLOR that stand out.
• Resolution independence
• Quicktime X with 7's features; Quicktime 7 gone
Not Counting On It:
• Editable Apple Menu, like in days of old
• Copy and Paste in Finder
• A better looking, flatter bottom dock without the stupid reflections (I have mine set to the 2D version now)
• Blu-ray support

Well I'm a pro user and i welcome the new FCP and it's price.
I have a decent budget since I work for a corporation.
If I lost my job or decided to go on my own, $299 would make it easier to deal with than a seat with Avid.
Got it in one. I just watched an Indy Mogul episode and in the credits it was produced, presented and edited by the same person. She also interviewed people for a vox pop. End result looked good too. (http://www.indymogul.com/beyondtrailer/episode/BTT_20110415_1/scream-4-movie-review)
At the Supermeet presentation, the guy said "And it's only $299, which means you don't have to decide who gets a copy" (or words to that effect). THe last bit was drowned out by the crowd, but he meant that you no longer have to give everyone FCP/Motion/Color/STP/Cinema Tools if all they need is FCP.

A more fluid UI. Things should move the way they do when you are in expose and hit the space bar and then toggle between windows--that looks and feels fluid. You should be able to work with one window at a time with only it highlighted the way a window is highlighted in expose (so basically the expose interface, but let you edit the active window). To be clear, I do also mean that the rest of the screen would still be dimmed. When you hover over the menu bar it would light up, and the dock would etc, as well. But I think an environment where only the front window is lit could be marvelous in certain scenarios. As it is now, when you click on a window you've found through expose and you return to the jumble of windows, it's just sort of overwhelming. Also, expose will help you find a window you've dragged to the bottom of the screen, but once you find it with expose and click on it, it'll still be hidden at the bottom of the screen instead of moving to middle of the screen.
The dock at the bottom of the with naked icons that lap over other windows is too overwhelming looking too. Make all icons a square-ish shape like iOS icons and make the dock something much simpler than the shimmery tray it is now.
The menu bar will eventually need to go away. I'm not sure it can yet. I imagine the functions of the menu bar will go into the dock eventually as right click options or that Apple may move toward applications having all functions available maybe not as menus in windows, but in some way incorporated into the windows. I'm not sure what will happen exactly, but I know Apple likes the iOS concept of the app becoming the device. When you open Maps on an iPhone, it's a Maps machine, etc. So I think we will see a move toward even more simplicity. The Mac will become more like a very simple appliance that retains its power. I think Apple is considering that with the removal of title bars from Quicktime X and the album viewer in iTunes 10.
So to sum all of that up, everything looks junky with lots of windows scattered all over and the dock looks messy. Clean that up. Apple could do a lot of fundamental changes in the UI's look and behaviors. It's in no way at an end point of reaching a pinnacle of perfection. I haven't used Windows 7, but it looks like it may be continuing to make progress in appearance and behaviors, and there's no reason for Apple to not continue changing, which they haven't dramatically done since the very first version of OS X, in terms of UI. In fact the proposed single window mode of OS X that was dropped before its release may be due for a comeback in some new incarnation!
On to Spotlight. Is it just me or did Spotlight used to be a lot better? There are so few sorting options and by default it displays so much junk (web pages you've viewed, etc). Also, if you are constantly recording to the disk, Spotlight will not index and doesn't tell you this. Spotlight should have an indicator of whether it is up to date or not and a progress bar of when it is updating. The only way to tell right now is to go into activity monitor after stopping recording and let MDS start running and wait for it to return to 0% processor to know you can continue with disk recording activities (video recording in my case).
Safari seems to be the best browser on the Mac, but it takes up a whole lotta RAM.
I am sure there are more things I will think of in time . . .
I got a lot of what I asked for today! Pretty happy with the direction the OS is taking.

unlucky. like most people have said you should have really asked for permission. my school and college were fine with me bringing in mine.
Your college has no say in the matter.
As for high school. Its up to the school to secure their network. Not allowing portable computers for high school students is just stupid. I would bring your parents to school and take the matter up with the principal. If your parents are behind your use of the computer at school to do homework, that should extact pressure on the principal to justify the schools position more fully to the parents.
I would have said no to that IT tech forcing the issue to the principal office.
So they should make an exception for you because you weren't doing anything and some teachers didn't care? Also, if it is "every other teacher", it is not just the IT guy that has a problem with it. The rules are in place for a reason and he has every right to enforce it. Ignorance of the rules is no exception. This is the way life is; a good lesson learned here.
Is this college or high school? (My guess is high school)
Also, did you get it back or get instructions as to when/how you would get it back?
That does not sound like a rule. I would force the issue to the principal and bring in your parents and even supporting teachers.

I hope it's not T-Mobile. They are not in North Carolina. Sure they have roaming agreements with Suncom, but you can't get a local NC number, nor a local number for most of SC. That's a couple million people right there that would not have access to an Apple phone.
It's my understanding that there are a few more US states that have a zero presense from T-Mobile other than roaming agreements.
They are not a "real" national carrier that provides local numbers nationally in the US. They are only national in the sense that they have roaming agreements nationally.
edit: Also, if a company does not own numbers locally, you can not port your number from another carrier to them in that area.
T-Mobile is most certainly a real national carrier! They won the 2006 JD Power and Associates Award for Customer care in all six regions in the United States. And if they don't provide local numbers, what are they giving you then, Paleolithic phone numbers???? I know several people with T-Mobile with a local number.
You mentioned that you are in North Carolina, which the reason why they don't have coverage there is because SunCom is sort of their "counterpart" if you will. After all, SunCom gets a lot of phones only T-Mobile gets, such as the Sidekick/hiptop.
edge was att wireless' stop gap effort for 2G GSM. GSM is dead. EDGE was dead a few years ago. CDMA based EVDO or UMTS are minimum requirements for next generation wireless applications. Cingular has chosen UMTS and has said publicly that they have no interest in supporting 4G efforts. Verison and Sprint use EVDO for their 3G network which is faster than UMTS. I would have to hope and guess that since EVDO is becoming the 3G defacto standard apple would chose it.
UMTS/HSDPA is NOT CDMA based. It is actually TDMA based, like GSM. While it does have a CDMA over-the-air interface, it is intended to replace GSM and its other sister technologies. EVDO is intended for the CDMA carriers (Sprint, Verizon, Alltel, US Cellular, Cricket, metroPCS) and will be a far cry from defacto as over 80% of the world is still using GSM. And second generation GSM is still amazing technology, and it and CDMA cannot be compared, just like apples and oranges or Macs and PCs.

In this particular case I was planning on using RAID 5, but the Mac would still need to be able to handle managing 32TB of data.
I am in the process of researching this device and several other mass-storage solutions. This very thread is actually a part of my research because crowd sourcing on a board like this is great for solving a complex IT problem.
Why exactly do you want to use the Quad Pack Rack? It features exchangeable quad drive boxes, which aren't useful unless you need to transfer them from one rack to another across different locations.
Check out the other Dulce (http://www.dulcesystems.com/html/products.html) systems instead.
If you configure a 16 drive unit as a RAID 5 (which I personally wouldn't to as you'd have only a single parity drive) the Mac would have to handle 30TB in case that you use 2TB drives.
Anyhow, practically there is no limitation to volume sizes in OS X. Well, in fact there is, about 8EB, but you most likely won't be able to go over this limit in the next 20 years. ;)
Edit: And now the most important recommendation:
If you want really good recommendations and background information, drop the user nanofrog a message. He's the storage expert in this forum.

I really don't understand these programs where people smash up things for fun.
There's a program on Discovery as well which does these things.
Don't get it,just can not do that in this era anymore because its just wasting resources for nothing.
Here in Europe You won't find such utterly stupid programs.
Makes Me mad that Macrumors put this on their site.
