Gestures still function on iPad?
Yes, it does.
For whom doesn't understand what we are talkin' about: There is a way to enable 4~5 fingers gesture function which is allowed only for developers. Purchase Xcode($4.99) from Mac App Store, install it, connect the iPad to the USB port and Xcode will recognize your iPad and there is a button asks you to use this iPad for development purpose. Click it and it will ask your developer ID but you can simply click cancel, it will anyway continue the procedure to enable the function. After that, go to the preference - general on you iPad, you will get to see the option for the 4~5 fingers gesture. I personally think, it is worth more than $5.

I am so freakin excited! Ugh hehehe I just want the Apple Store to be back up so that I place the freakin order!
However, do you think that the black model has become Glossy or is it still made of Matte material? i.e. The black outisde not the screen.

:confused: Here's a possibly dumb question, but per Apple's support site, the following video play back specs are given for iPod (5G) playback:
iPod can play the following video formats:
H.264
File formats: .m4v, .mp4, and .mov
Video: Up to 768 kbits/sec, 320 x 240, 30 frames per second (fps), Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3.
Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 kbits/sec, 48 Khz, and stereo audio.
MPEG-4
File formats: .m4v, .mp4, and .mov
Video: Up to 2.5 Mbits/sec, 480 x 480, 30 fps, Simple Profile.
Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 kbits/sec, 48 Khz, stereo audio.
How will the new, higher resolution video play back on the current iPods? Do they currently have higher resolution capability that Apple was just holding back through software?:confused:
The MPEG4 standard (which includes h.264) is scalable, so lower resolution devices will only decode to the lower resolution and not spend the extra time/power to decode to full resolution. There's a lot of complex details, but that's the quick gist of it.

Fivepoint? Hello? You posted the rhetoric from the gentleman from Kentucky, but haven't actually described how and what you did on the little budget game.
Looks like he pulled a fivepoint again. Start thread, argue a bit, run away, repeat.

Merom in the iMacIntel does leave a space in the lineup for the Conroe Mini-Tower.
Enough already with Mini-Tower crap. It will never happen. Apple does not like to copy the PC world.
Except for swapping out a video card, why would anyone need one! You have two options, an iMac or a Mac Mini.

I just upgraded to CS5 a few months ago for $600. The 5.5 upgrade would cost another $400. Adobe is easily my least favorite company in the world.

That thread Spook posted is hilarious! Man we're so many people 100% wrong with their opinions... the iPod owns the world now! I wasn't a fan of Apple back when the iPod was introduced, so I didn't have any expectations. I didn't even know it was coming. But now I sit here with both my 3G 30GB and 5G 60GB iPods on my desk. :D

The days of $300 Windows PC's are over. People have more expectations for their PC purchases than just email and word documents. People are opting to buy better PCs but less frequently.
Apple now is an option for people who have abandoned the crappy cheap computers and the iOS devices make Apple PCs even more attractive. Especially with Dual Boot options.
I've noticed more Linux users on campus opting for Apple PCs too. The people prefer Linux but like the ability to boot into Mac OS and get the benefits of that.

The roll-out must be staggered because it's not showing up in Software Update for me.

I really don't see any MB or MBP updates. Again, I could be off, but I don't see those until later this year.
I'm sure the C2D chips coming out on all sorts of Windows laptops may be putting some pressure on Apple to update their laptop line, but I think it's still too soon.
It might be too soon for you, but Apple will lose sales if they stick with yonah.

Thunderbolt anyone?
AFAIK, thunderbolt does work on the devices it exists on. The problem of course is that not very many devices make use of it yet. It also goes without saying that Apple would be eager to deploy a technology it had a heavy hand in developing, much like HTML 5.
Conversely, wireless networks that are a mishmash of different standards can be tough for a single phone to deal with effectively. When the iPhone 3g came out for the first time, dropped calls were notorious because many parts of the country didn't have thorough enough 3g to maintain a constant connection, resulting in the phone dropping the call and reverting to 2g. I think Apple will want to avoid such technical problems again, especially since LTE is so sparse still and 3g has finally become a stable standard. Plus, engineering an LTE phone before the market is ready to use it would be unnecessarily expensive and would subtract from the bottom line.

I think it's a computer that will fit inside your home and possibly carry around with you (There's something in the Air), that can use your modem's telephone line to connect to the WWW and display text and graphics.

You're much better off to take one of your earbuds out and put it in her ear
Before getting slapped... I guess if youre a billionaire you can shove earbuds into a strangers ear, but here in Real World USA the results would not be pretty. Do that with your girlfriend, I dont think ANYONE would want a stranger theyve known for 1 minute coming up to them and putting crap into their ear.

So, hypothetically, what if Wal-Mart's CEO doesn't "moderate" their stance, and Apple ink deals with more than Disney including Library titles? Surely Wal-Mart's bean counters and legal eagles have already played the war games scenarios. Who would be the winners if this ratcheted up to another level?

1) I don't use eBay - but how many iPods are sold there?
2) How many iPods are sold - through regular outlets - every hour?
3) iPods are made in China
4) If you don't even know the market share how do you know they are threatening iPod sales?
I can't really. It's just anecedotal evidence at best, but...
1) If a manufacturer that can build 2 million per month goes on backorder plus every body and their brother is
