And who, exactly, are you talking about?
All I've seen are a few anonymous comments on this message board. Who are those people? Are they pros? I don't know who they are. Do you know?
Funny how you've developed a whole theory about "professionals" and yet you haven't proved in any way that any pros said what you claimed they said. I've read that the crowd at the show seemed to really love it.
Looks like you totally misread his post - he didn't say professionals, he said "professionals". Meaning people who claimed to be pros.
And it's funny, yesterday those "pros" were all ranting that tons of features were removed and the rest of the suite killed, now that that has been debunked they're off in hiding.
Because you made a post that claimed our editing skills have nothing to do with creativiy or experience, but simply that 'knowing the software' is the only advangate we have.
Good try, but no. Because you misread his post and assumed something he didn't actually say. I know, sometimes sarcasm can be tricky, but it seemed pretty obvious to me.
There ARE "pros" who get mad because software gets cheaper and easier to use. If they are truly talented they should have nothing to worry about, but I'm sure there are guys out there who aren't especially great editors who are getting work because they could afford the cost of entry.

iTunes now provides access to an "Album Artist" tag which should help keep those duets and other collaborations in line without having to declare them as compilations.
:eek: Yes! Yes! Oh Yes! Baby! :D That's one of the things I would have killed for! Apple just saved someone else's life. :D

I'm with you on both items. I've been psyched for iPhone 5 to replace my 3GS, but for LTE I might be convinced to wait... (Then again my 4G friend says Boston has spotty coverage at the moment...)
As for the voice thing - I don't think I've ever used it nor really want to. To those that do use it - why? Is this a feature that car drivers use a lot?
they have got to get battery life under control or get LTE available in more places.
have been testing a VzW Tbolt and man its terrible in non-LTE areas on the battery.
i will not, however, give up on my iPhone. LTE or not, upgrading will happen. add me to the line of sheep. :)

Haha, Kesha who?
Comment again when you are 18, if she is still around in 6 years:-)
Maybe the Beatles should have worn meat suits to please today's generation of ignorant , uneducated followers who like celebrities just for being famous.
Just look at the sales numbers every year (not only on itunes) if that is your only measuring stick.

If Apple had done this way back in the day, made their products readily available in stores, maybe they would have won the PC wars. I certainly remember the days when you could only get an Apple product via mail order, and you could never play with them in a store. Anytime you can get max products into max hands, its a good thing.

This is exactly what pisses me off about ordinary Brazilians: they are awfully unable to see the positives - instead, it seems like Brazil is a living hell, and this ever since the country was "discovered" in 1500.
For people like you the country will never be good enough, especially since you're neither patriot nor a believer in turning something for the better.
I think we live in different countries, because what you see here is:
through taxes, we pay the State for education. But if we want good education, we must buy back the private sector. We pay twice for the same service.
Brazil's best Universities are public; as for primary public schools, it's clear that the uniformization of our educational system has brought improvements, even though regional differences exist. But to generalize this is to forget how crappy the same public schools are in some regions of the US and Europe.
through taxes, we pay the state for health. But if we want good health, we need to buy again from private enterprise. We pay twice for the same service.
Again, speak for yourself. My parents haven't had private insurance for ages and the service they get is actually quite good where they live. You may suffer from long waits in bigger towns, but this is not AT ALL the same difficulty found in other places. Besides, the same doctors working in private hospitals may normally be found in public places.
through taxes, we pay the state for safekeeping. But if you want good security, we must buy back the private sector. We pay twice for the same service.
Another example of panic behavior by Brazilians; places like S�o Paulo have battled urban crime with clear results, with a homicide rate that is almost 3x lower than in places like DC, Detroit or New Orleans. If people stopped reading tabloids and watching cop shows, perhaps this myth could be busted more easily.
You DON'T need armored cars, you DON'T need bodyguards and you DON'T need private helicopters. Unless you are one of those scared mama's boys, of course.
through property taxes, we pay the State for good roads. But if you want good road, we need to pay tolls. We pay twice for the same service.
Property taxes are, by definition, NOT bound to road conservation only; besides, I'd rather pay for a great road (as we have now in many places) than expect potholes. Tolls are a fact of life in many countries, although I agree that they could be more reasonable in S�o Paulo and other states - whose fault is it? Perhaps our own for not pushing for collective transportation, instead of prioritizing cars for everything. And as society continues to protest, toll prices will surely go down - just don't expect things to change when you don't even contact your representative about that.
social security is a joke. Even if we pay the maximum amount for retirement, when we receive, we receive less than a third of the amount paid to social security.
Agreed, but this comes much more from public servants unwilling to let go of their privileges than anything else. The lobby is strong, you know...
no tools for punishing politicians who carry out crimes against the public budget. The politicians protect themselves. There is no transparency in public accounts.
Never in the history of Brazil have so many politicians and crooks been punished for their crimes, both in terms of electoral defeats and jail time. Another point that you seem to forget: in the past we didn't see anything and corruption continued unabated; now we see a LOT of stuff going on exactly because the police and judiciary are working more than ever before.
The weight tributary to the Brazilian state suffocates the taxpayers more and more.
Sure; but with the nation increasing its international participation, things will have to come down to more reasonable terms - but don't forget that the State NEVER wants to lower taxes, and this is true for any country out there.
we have the highest interest rates in the world. And there is no control over the banking spread.
There is no project for the country. Whether or not the government is PT or PSDB, little changes.
Again, too much pessimism for nothing; interest rates are high because our government still spends too much and needs to finance inefficiency as well as attract foreign capital. Everyone knows that and pressure is mounting to reduce this charge, which was MUCH higher some 8 years ago...just don't expect this to happen overnight.
As for projects, the growth of the country and its huge infrastructure initiatives speak for themselves. To deny this fact is to perpetuate this sickly negativity that only pushes Brazil down. Start looking at the half-full side of the glass, please.

Has anyone considered that apple might not be realeasing the wide screen super secret video ipod because it dosn't exist?
lets all think for a second...
1) touch screens are weak, soft, and matte, not iPod at all
2) they get printy and scratched very easily
3) they would go through oodles of batter power
4) Apple would not make the thing bigger just to hold the extra battery
5) battery life would STINK
6) touch screen starts to complicate the interface, goes against apple's easy as pie rule
7) the thing would have to cost a fortune
please dont kill me, but does anyone have proof, or is it just a dream of perfection?
p.s. does anyone know if they will webcast the event?
hmmm
1) No
2) No
3) No, see pda phones, which go for 2-3 days. iPod, with a harddisk, could go for 5+ hours.
4)Yep, right.
5) No, it would not.
6) No, touch screen has nothing to do with the UI
7) No again, touch screens are not too expensive. Just see the current touch screen devices on the market today
It is more than possible that Apple would release a touch screen device. Hmm, Apple once even had one =), called Newton.

While for me, $500 is a "pretty big wad of cash to throw down", there's more to it than strictly looking at the dollar figure. EG. Do you have a kid or kids that might benefit from being able to use the new iPad you're about to purchase? Do you have legitimate uses for it that go along with EARNING more money, or maybe even the ability to write the whole purchase off as a tax deduction the next year? When you spend $20 on some beer or a few bucks on some food, it's a consumable you use once and throw some trash away, and then you have nothing to show for it.
One thing I know about myself is, I'm very hesitant to spend much on "instant gratification" type of entertainment. I practically never spend money on tickets for sporting events or concerts, and maybe buy a movie ticket once a year. I've often skipped summer vacations completely because my employer didn't want me to take time off when they had important projects going on, and I just opted to get paid for the days instead. I don't even have cable or satellite TV at home, because I hated watching $60 or more per month just vanish into thin air, with nothing concrete to show for it later. So when I do spend my money? It tends to be on bigger-ticket items I know I'll get a lot of use out of for years down the road.
So frankly, in my relationships, "respect" is just as much about my partner respecting my ability to make sensible purchasing decisions and NOT demand I consult with her first, simply because it's something a lot more expensive than a fast food order.
The basis for any good relationship is communication. And I am not sure what kind of money you make, but $500 is a pretty big wad of cash to throw down and it should merit a conversation with your spouse. Its not like you threw down a $1 on a cheeseburger, or $2 on a scratch off, or heck $20 of beer. You spent $500, thats like a whole months utilities. Thats a car payment. Thats a few hours of tuition for your kid's college one day. Its no chump change.
And household income should be considered just that, household. It does not matter who makes more money, it should be community, and if you're spending $500 on an iPad, then you're lady should be able to spend $500 on a coach purse. How would you feel about that?
Non-necessities, expensive purchases should always be discussed. There is a need for open, honest communication in a marriage. If you don't have that, and you are running around buying ipads without consulting them, well unless you got a fad wad of cash, you likely wont stay married long.
Its about respect. If you don't respect your wife enough to discuss a $500 purchase with her, then you don't deserve to have the companionship of a female.

I stopped in one during the summer for a car power plug for the iphone as i was traveling. they had only 1 generic one for almost $40! I walked to kmart next door and chose out of 3 kinds and bought a car and home plug charger for $20.
I do. Bought a sd card two weeks ago and headphones this past Sunday. Only one in the store both times so...

If you think about it, it's not all too surprising that some of these "professionals" are getting so worked up and sulky over this release. The notion that "pro editing" can belong to just about anyone, rather than an exclusive circle of elites, poses an existential crisis. Apple's re-thinking of editing is also a re-thinking of what it means to be "professional". The announcement sheds light on a future in which their "advanced", learned techniques are no longer advantageous. The "industry pros" are facing the plight of impending impotence. It's not something anyone would really openly admit, but I think they're feeling a bit naked, stripped of their status.
Who can blame them for being pissy?

Again, WHY do they lack positive male figures? I'm trying to get down to the bottom of this. I know they have poverty in their communities, i know there is a lack of black men who take responsibility for children and knock women up one after another. It's not only poor black men that knock women up, filthy rich rappers do the same thing, so poverty has nothing to do with it. Only difference is rappers can afford to pay child support, even though they usually "sing" about not paying it. But i'm asking why it is like this. Is it a genetic thing or is it a cultural thing?
My mind boggles up as well.
I believe its because most black kids never got to be raised along their fathers because they either left them because they didn't want the kid or they were in jail, therefore leaving them without a fatherly figure.
That leaves the mom with the extra job, or in other cases, the grandmother which I find to be very common to be the authoritarian figure in the house.
But they can't do it alone, they, in most cases, have to work long hours to have money for food and a home to live in.

I see them thinking that the iPod line should definitely move to a 100% touch-screen interface. However, like many people have already said, sometimes you just want a music player. I love having my entire music collection in my bag at any time with the Classic. They should keep it until they can truly beef up the capacity for the the Touch.
