If the school confiscates your laptop, you go to the police and file charges. FOR WHAT, ENFORCING SCHOOL RULES?
And the school is in big trouble. Technically what they did was stealing. They have absolutely no right confiscating anything. THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO CONFISCATE ON THEIR PREMISES IF THEY BELIVE ITS A RISK TO THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE.
What they can do is prevent your access to the building if your are carrying something which they deem "against the rules". But taking away a $1000+ notebook? That's a serious offense HARDLY
and I wouldn't let it go so easily. File a complain with the school administration, if they don't react, go to the police. I am serious. There are some things which you just can't let slide. THE POLICE WILL TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE, FACT.
You don't have a clue what you're talking about do you...?

Probably a good way to kill someone, probably not the ideal way to deal with an argument, though.

the iPhone has the be the biggest rumor engine of them all.
Come now, the Powerbook G5 is the biggest rumor engine.
what does "(MVNO) on Cingular's network" mean ? In my area, Cingular absolutely STINKS.. even the city council called in Cingular reps to #$@# them out.
What did the city officals think they were going to accomplish? This is cell phone service, there are no gaurantees of service quality enforced by law and a cell phone is by no means a necessity of life. If the service sucks, why doesn't everyone in town change carriers? That's what the free market is about.
i always thought they'd be the guys who released an unlocked, unbranded, un-network affliated phone. I think that would be the smartest way to go. Drop in a SIM and go.
Yup, yup. That's what I'm waiting for. I'm not going to go through the hassle of porting my number just to get an iPhone and I'm not interested in being a second-class citizen on someone else's network. I'm not on contract, I like my current plan, and aren't most MVNO's prepaid?

I would get one in like 2 years after it has gone through revisions and everyone else has had problems with it. Sure I'll want one. But I'm happy for now since I have the kewlest phone out - Nokia 8801!
I agree with that sentiment, if only because I'm on contract with my phone for another year and a half. By that time, we'll know how viable the phone and service is, and whether it's actually worth it (let alone it's a reality or not :) .)

You do realize the excessive amount in data in Motion, Soundtrack, & Others are from templates (aka, extra files you don't have to install). You could probably install the entire Final Cut Studio Suite in probably 3GBs without all the extra template.
I know that.... I'm just hoping/assuming we will have access to the same things without the file sizes. Or..... Buy Motion with core files, DL templates/effects/yadda yadda yadda as needed for free.

Really now, the person using the Nike+iPod has to be within 60 feet from the person who's doing the tracking? At that range, the person doing the tracking is better off following the Nike+iPod user home!

I am still not sure if the picture is just playing tricks on my eyes but when comparing the pictured MacBook pro in that banner to mine and the ones on the Apple website they do appear the be diffenrent.
That would be nice.
I agree, the speaker grills are definitely smaller...good sign for me at least, I'm waiting on a new MacBook Pro!
HOWEVER, that part of the banner is a little crumpled over. You can tell by the ripple that it is folded back a bit and would make the grills appear to be smaller. Not sure if it's that, though. Hard to tell!
I wish whoever took the picture would have just run into the room and snapped a few more!

Yup, Wednesday at 3:00 was suggested as the "big" meeting, though somebody mentioned the the Best of Show announcements are taking place that day from 2:45 - 3:45. Does anyone feel strongly about changing the time to avoid this conflict? (I don't.)
Is Wednesday the consensus? I think it could be 4pm to catch people coming out of the Best of Show.
Alternative, is Tuesday out? One advantage of Tuesday is that people will know what everyone looks like if they see them around at the subsequent events.
Once it's nailed down, I'll make a more public announcement.

I want Apple EMPHASIS on computers. It seems as though their #1 priority right now is on gadgets. I want a mid-range tower. All the Apple news we have right now is anything but computers.
Amen. And I'd love to see a mid-range tower. Something with a graphics card, one available PCI slot, up to two hard drives, and the Core 2 Duo desktop chip(socketed, not soldered please).
Let the iMacs take over in the living room and kitchen for people who are wealthy enough to have more than one or two computers. There are a lot more of us who need more expandability and power and who have our own monitors, but who can't afford the sticker price of a Mac Pro.

I've read a little on the subject of Japanese society (The Chrysanthemum and the Sword is good) and visited a few times. I don't have a complete answer, but a couple of points people haven't made yet are:
- Japan is racially and culturally quite pure - with low immigration and a high barrier for immigrants to integrate (the language). Japanese language and culture is not widely spread outside of Japan. This leads to them having a very inward focus, and a high amount of loyalty to their own society. As a Westerner/English speaker, you could disgrace yourself in your own society, yet still find a happy home somewhere culturally similar. For a Japanese person there is no other home - if they disgrace themselves to their fellow Japanese, they risk being ostracised from everything they hold dear. (This is the reasoning given in TCANS for the low surrender rate of Japanese troops in war - a Western army will surrender with 30% dead, for the Japanese 90%+ would have to die, since to surrender would be to disgrace oneself and become ostracised. This is the same reasoning for the Japanese army's poor treatment of prisoners of war in WWII - as the social standing of one who surrenders is very low).
- Having transgressed, Japanese society is happy to throw the book at a suspected criminal - and extends few of the rights arrestees enjoy in the West. Prisoners can be held for 23 days before being charged, the legal system assumes guilt and police have traditionally interrogated in private. When a case reaches trial, there's a >98% conviction rate, and trials have until very recently (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/8181225.stm) all be Judge-only trials (no jury). There's evidence that lenient Judges face career setbacks.
So yes, the Japanese people may be educated, moral, disciplined - but there are also very strong societal pressures to conform, and if a person did loot, they'd expect to be treated extremely severely.
I think you're spot on. I lived in Japan for a while, in a very rural part, and it was like that. For crime, the burden is on the accused to prove innocence, not the other way around like in Western cultures. And there is no search and seizure. If they believe you might have done something, they can search you all they want. If someone was caught with drugs, his phone records would be searched and every single person on that phone list would be searched. In Japan, you really can't get away with a crime. And like you said, your circle of friends and family is all you have in Japan. There's no running away from who you are. If, in a time of crisis, you become a thief, everyone would lose all respect for you. One of my favorite Japanese mma fighters was disowned by his father for failing his high school exit exam. Think about how shameful being a thief would be. And in Japanese culture, fighting on in times of hardship is a very important quality. They sort of see it as a time to show your best. At least that's what I get from watching Japanese mma fighters.

Worked great at home. At work I can connect and schedule and watch live tv, but recorded shows all return a "this video is not compatible" when trying to play, even after they were exported to the "best" and "iphone" format.
For playback over 3G you need to encode using the EyeTV cellular or the 480x360 iPhone preset (you can select between iPhone 480x360, or iPhone + cellular or just cellular under EyeTV's Preferences > iPhone > More Options...). You also need to setup the My EyeTV account if you haven't already done so. Either that, or try what I detailed in my previous post which will produce much better quality and lower bitrates over 3G. In my hands, I can't stream the standard 480x360 iPhone preset over 3G -- it just stops and pauses too often.

nope. you'd need to own/be the IT guy of an educational institution
Can you really still order it with just an edu account?
no, you can not.
How do you get an edu acct?
you go to college or grad school, or become a teacher.

As much as I want to believe, loop insight has a much better record for these things.
I'm pretty sure Loop Insight's sources only said no hardware at WWDC. The fall timeline is speculation and rumors from elsewhere.

It's working great for me locally. Over WAN I cannot say: NO ports seem to be working (even ones I used last week for VNC) which is not EyeTV's fault. I think it's an issue with AT&T DSL. I hope they haven't started blocking something intentionally. I'll try again tomorrow in the hopes that it's fixed. (I can't even traceroute to my home.)
Yep--must have been an AT&T issue of some kind. All my ports are working again today, and I can confirm that EyeTV + no-ip.com works for TV-watching over WAN :) Too cool. One more reason to love my EyeTV. And my rabbit ears!
EDIT: I just HAD to open my yap... It doesn't work anymore (not even on LAN). Unable to connect. Nothing has changed since earlier when it was fine. Will try again tomorrow.
EDIT2: It came back when I downloaded a newer build--link near the end of this page: http://support.elgato.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=3651&nav=0,1,388&languageid=1&group=englishdefault
(Also check your OS X Firewall for EyeTV stuff set to Block. I had it set to Allow and yet it once went to Block on its own somehow.)

Supposed to later but it looks and feels like another clear one to me. Here's hoping though.
I'm about 20 minutes from the Oval - trying to avoid the area at the mo! - and it's glorious. I doubt there's any chance of rain today
To all the US members lost here, this is the game where you can play five matches at five days a piece and still draw!! Brilliant.
And to think the Brits complain that American football takes too long :p
I do love the concept of a game that stops for tea though. In this modern age where the players are 'athletes' are they still allowed cucumber sandwiches and scones or is it all isotonic sports drinks now?

I saw this story this morning, and thought it was one of the stupidest reports I've seen in awhile. You could either track some random person who has the device for a few feet, or blow $20 to 'plant' one in someone's backpack. Never mind the rest of the money you'd be spending just to have devices nearby to pick up the signal. This story ranks up next to 'German police battle giant parrot' in importance. :rolleyes:
