3:00 at the marked horseshoe lounge sounds great to me. I think I can make that any day next week. Like vniow, it would help if people knew what day(s) they'll likely participate in this.
I like the idea of keeping a standing 3:00 meeting every day of the expo, since we'll all have different schedules. Some of us may show up on several days, just to see who else is there.
But if we want to set one BIG meeting that everybody should plan to attend, I suggest Wednesday, Jan. 10th, 3:00 at the horseshoe. By then, some of the craziness of the first day will have died down, and we'll all have had a chance to see the new stuff on display in the Apple booth, and around the exhibition halls.
Sound like a plan?

I don't want to read too much into this, but it's still upsetting that Steve Jobs' health is in bad shape. That being said, I can't wait to read this.

Am I alone in thinking this would be the coolest and most useful application of wireless?
I mentioned this exact same thing a few days ago. Bandwith should not be an issue for streaming one audio track at a time. Imagine the iPod HIFI with that: carry your iPod in your pocket and it streams to the nearest iPod HIFI. If you have more HIFIs, you can walk around in the house and your music follows you eveywhere you have an iPod HIFI. You could as well use headphones, but streaming music and having sterile-making emitters in your pockets is so much cooler, isn't it? ;)

Whats the point?
Shouldn't we be seeing the 5 by now?
That's the point. Apple is using this to postpone their introduction of the iPhone 5. I will admit, it has taken them a considerably long time to introduce it in the iPhone 4:mad:. I was hoping they would just focus on getting a black and white 5.:confused:

Pretty awesome, I'd definitely get one if I didn't have a shuffle already.
Nice leak-proofing on this one, I didn't see a single shuffle rumor at any of the mac sites. Glad to see that they not only didn't dump it, but gave it a MAJOR facelift. I've always liked the shuffle, now it has a whole new life.
Now will I get gapless playback on my old shuffle?

All beer sucks. That beer has been dressing itself up like wine for the last few decades or so is hysterical. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig. IMO, there's no difference between Budweiser and Chimay, except that Chimay manages to be even more disgusting. Don't even get me started on crap like Guinness. And before anyone says anything, I used to work in good restaurants for 20 years, I've had just about every beer you can think of- all of them are nasty. Beer is the only beverage that tastes even worse the more you pay. Hey- I tried it. :p:p:p:p
Beer is easily the worst alcoholic beverage on the face of the planet, right next to grappa.
Babycham for Kohler!!

Hmm,
maybe this is because a lot of the 'foreign' beers we get are usually brewed here too.
Although, by sheer numbers, our supermarkets seem to carry the likes of Carling, Carlsberg, Stella and Bud in really high quantities.
Another thing is Budweiser's advertising is still up from the World Cup and I think they are trying to get more presence in sports advertising here.
But yeah, the empire we built upon slavery and bullying is long dead...

I ordered my iPad 2 at 10:00 p.m. on 3/11 and was originally given a ship date of 4/1.
I just received notification (late last night) that it's shipped and will be arriving on 3/30.
Looks like Apple is getting caught up on orders to me...

I'm looking forward to the final release of the iPhone (or whatever it will be called), but not the reaction on the internet. People have been wanting this for so long, that unless it comes out with as good (better?) of video as the iPod, half a year on a single charge battery life, 7 MP camera, unrestricted song playing (hahahaha), GPS, web browsing to match computers, and, I dunno, let's say a it can build you a small, live puppy out of grass, people are going to be disappointed.
Edit: congrats prady16

Let's back up for a moment. Why are screens in landscape mode to begin with? Because the CRTs, which were meant for video were. [see: RF modulator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_modulator)] Mainstream computer screens should have mimicked books, newspapers, and documents rather than televisions, but that's not how it played out. So, unconsciously we adjusted to text in landscape. Kind of stupid, really.
Then came the laptop. Well, a landscape display continued to seem logical 'cause the keyboard was wide. Awesome!
And now we have tablets. Finally, a device in the proper book/newspaper/document orientation. But look! You can rotate it to view multi-media! Perfect! My twenty year wait is over! Wait, what? It's gonna run iOS instead of Mac OS X? Genius!
Laptops have always been a compromise, and thus the choice has always come down to personal preference. Please stop arguing that one is better than the other, because as some of us have been trying to tell you, you'd be wrong.
Wow, I think this is really interesting but i don't agree with you. I think the wider screen is the best option, I don't know why... You say you read from your iPad while it's in the same orientation of a page... I NEVER do that, I much prefer the wide orientation... So I guess it's comes down to some kind of unconscious preference... And maybe it's the same thing that make me comfortable on a 11" macbook air...

AARRRGGHHHH!!!! I STILL can't get an answer if the iPads2's that I ordered at 7:30 AM on 3/11 will ship before April 1-6.... It's like trying to pull teeth out of an angry, virile cat.
Does anyone know what "Prepared for Shipment" means in Apple-Speak??
Dude - this is good. Today, mine went from "Not Yet Shipped" to "Prepared for Shipment." I'm in the same timeframe as you.

List:
-Better optimization for graphics and multi-core processors/threading
-Mail Client upgrade
-more minimalistic designs
-Better Dashboard (more useful/better optimization)
-Memory management can be optimized a bit too
(Basically I care little about aesthetics and more about optimization of the OS and better use of hardware to make things more speedy and run quicker, smoother and using the hardware advantages that are available.
I think you are describing Mac OS X 10.8 (Snow Lion)
not a real cat species (at least that I know of) but has some cool meaning to it in some eastern cultures.

I never thought of myself as an iMac type of guy. More of a MBP for work, Mac Pro for home.
But the 24" iMac is shaping up to be a great computer. 750 gig drive is sweet, 3 gigs of memory, huge display, and fast.
I always hated the wires and general visual mess of the normal desktop. Even in the age of bluetooth, there are too many wires.
I think the 24" iMac is shaping up to be a great prosumer computer. I'm seriously considering purchasing one now.

I have Zinio and subscribe to multiple magazines on it. It works fine. I don't want a separate app for every magazine that I read. I don't want different controls, different features, different layout, etc. I don't want every magazine "enhanced" with video features in some brave new experiment that I'm funding. I want a PDF of the magazine delivered to me to read. That's what Zinio does (it's an encrypted equivalent to PDF). I want to go to one "virtual" bookshelf and pick the magazine I want to read. That's it.
Conde Nast is having to "slow down" because they've created a damned expensive delivery system instead of using a preexisting thing like Zinio, iBooks, B&N Reader, Kindle, etc. Imagine if every ebook series had its own app!

You keep your widgets and "free" Google maps on Android. I'll take a robust catalog of quality apps on iOS.
At least I can buy a good nav app for iOS. You can't buy (at any price) a vast number of the highly-polished and functional applications and games I can get on my iOS devices.
Enjoy the compromise.
Cant buy it on android because there is really NO NEED. The free maps app is GREAT. You would know this had you used it :rolleyes:
Navigon, Tom Tom and the bunch on iOS are needed because there is NO OTHER solution. Thats when apps are good, when they fill a specific need.;)

Atleast there is something good about DELAY rumors... they push for real release date rumors and more info on the new product.
Same thing happened with the iPad 2 Delay rumors.
Stocks go down and people start looking towards other products when delay rumors surface. So the pressure to bring other realistic release date comes out
