"allocative deadweight loss"
What does that mean?
that term somehow makes me feel bad about myself.
:)
anyway, been upgrading every year with the offset of selling the old equipment to pay for part or most of the new.
added a nice crack to my iphone 4 front panel and was considering the $200 replacement through :apple: now, i may just do it, stick with the four until the true end of my two year, and upgrade then, to avoid the extra $50.
unless the latest revision has something in it necessary to the function of the device, is the upgrade tax going to be worth it to most people?

What I've been waiting for is true javascript support for wysiwyg textarea editors. I run a Mac blog site and I have to ask users to use Firefox. It seems a little sucky to do that for a Mac specific blogger site. Since Safari 1.3 Apple said they included the nessesary "hooks" for these editors, but no one has been successful in getting any of them to work in Safari.
I downloaded the latest nightly build of Webkit and it still doen't work :(
Actually, there are a few that do work, mostly commercial like Asbru's editor - http://editor.asbrusoft.com/
The problem is, the support in Safari still isn't brilliant and the other guys like FCK, TinyMCE etc so far aren't willing to work around the bugs knowing that Apple is fixing them in a forthcoming release anyway.

Uh, yeah. I remember back in the Napster days, when that was the only way to get music.
It's a shame there weren't any record stores around back then, able to sell music on a form of portable media - sort of like those discs software comes on. You know, CDs. But for music! What a concept!
Anyone who downloaded from Napster with the excuse that they couldn't find contect elsewhere (like via Tower Records and a CD ripping program) is just plain lame...
"The severe beating of a Pokemon".
I've never seen that song anywhere BUT on napster. Not that I've looked, but I didn't look for it on Napster either. Napster just has it more prominent.

I also work in a large engineering consulting firm that uses only Windows XP. I have been using my mac on my own for work for the last two years or so (Please no comments about using personal machines for work. I am aware). I would love to see some others be allowed to use Macs because I think they make sense for some jobs. It would not make sense for everyone to go to Macs because we have some windows-only software requirements.
I am interested to see what answers come. My major curiosity is how well the Macs integrate into an Active Directory domain. I don't want anyone in the company to be able to log into my personal machine, so I have not tried it yet.

Most american cars are boring. Unlink this one, my dream car:
Most main stream Japanese cars are even more boring. Camry, Corolla, Civic, etc anyone? If they are not boring, then they are ugly. *cough* Juke *cough*.
Don't get me started on what Honda calls a redesign on the 2012 Civic.......
You're not going to get wow styling on some family sedan. You get wow styling on vehicles like Corvette, Camaro, Mustang, luxury cars, etc. Out of the mid-size family sedans, the 2013 Malibu is the best looking, IMHO.

You could go all "over-zealous super-parent" on him and really weird him out. Start giving him advice on technique, how to stay focussed to make it last longer, positions etc. Ask him for anything cool he might know to spice up YOUR sex life.
That'll really mess with his head and eventually, everytime he and the girlfriend are haviing sex he'll get an image of you asking him questions and he'll get so freaked out he'll stop immediately and come home wanting a hug and to never leave the house or look at girls ever again. Let alone have "the sex."
Then he can just stay at home under your ever-watchful eye and play mindless violent computer games - a much better pastime in the progression to a good, grounded adult than having sex with his girlfriend.

Why would you use any @isp for a professional email address??
For $10/year you should have name@domain.com
Apple and MobileMe are not ISPs. ISP stands for Internet Service Provider.

Red is screwed, yellow is sucky, green is above replacement... You don't want birth rate to drop below 2.1, Turkey the only country above replacement is 2.14...

The only meaningful way to save the red countries from depopulation is to eliminate access to birth control and abortions. Places have tried to boost birth rates, it hasn't succeeded.
We don't have enough resources, especially in developed countries that consume most of the world's resources for what you're advocating. If anything we need significantly lower populations in Europe and North America.

It might be interesting if Lotus Notes messenging client could be used along with
iSight for professional video conferencing rather than just IM's
Even more so if those IM's could be encrypted to PGP standards.

There honestly is no need to update the iPhone line EVERY year at this point. iPhone 4 was the biggest jump and I don't see a reason to jump again so soon, especially after Verizon customers JUST recived access to the phone. I can understand updating the models to include 4G, but at this point 4G IMHO is not needed. It's not a mature enough standard to expect iPhone owners to have smooth service with Verizon and AT&Ts 4G networks. I see them both being great next year, but it'd be a forced move on Apples part to update so soon.
I disagree, whether you call it a refresh or all new phone, several things must be addressed by Apple in the current model:
1. replace back glass with metal or carbon fiber enclosure;
2. replace antenna design;
3. use 4" screen, even at same resolution;
4. offer 64gb model.
One even more important change, which I KNOW they won't do, is use a universal radio chip that can support GOS and CDMA networks - no more having to buy a new phone every time you switch carriers - oops, that cuts agains Apple's AND the carriers interest - not much traction there.

You don't pay for updates, Tweetie 1 had 7 free updates. Updates within the 2.0 version number will also be free. Same as EVERY piece of software for the desktop.
exactly - people don't realize this yet with iphone apps because it's still relatively new and most apps get minor updates for free - very few have done a complete version revision of their software. probably over the next year, this will become more common and people will figure this out and quite whining.
but then again...people love to complain...but over $3 - seriously come on people...

There's been reports of battery issues to. I haven't tested it myself, but it seems like I'm getting less battery life since 4.3.1, which is what many others have been saying. I don't know how widespread this isssue is, though.
I had about 200% battery degradation with 4.3. 4.3.1 seems to have fixed that.

I am assuming this is a cluster? I seriously doubt that would be enough space for every person to access their iTunes content via the cloud. The only conceivable way is if you were limited to the amount of space (like allocated into your 20GB default mobileme account). That would be weak.The original post doesn't say it will be used for customers to store their own files, only for Apple to store all the video content on the iTunes store. Each video file is only stored once so 12PB is probably more than enough for all the videos they currently have (you'd have to be a pretty lazy data architect not to account for growth in the original plan).
I'm sure they already have a large enough storage system for cloud storage/iDisk, or will be planning to expand or replace one soon.

I checked online, and it says you need FamilyTalk 1400 � 2100 plans for A-List. Guess it's not updated yet?
Called again. I did this change in the store. Rep said when you go from 1400 min to 700 min system will automatically disable a list.
