This is also the case in the UK. A patently ridiculous stance, given that there is a constant message given on TV and radio that there is a shortage.

I have no problem with homosexuality, but it is a legitimate medical prohibition given the higher risk factors for blood disease. Straight men that sleep with hookers, and intravenous drug users are also banned on the same grounds. I genuinely don't believe it is a deliberately discriminatory policy, just the unfortunate scientific reality.

Don't the movie studios operate as commercial businesses? Don't they make a profit (overall - some movies flop I know)?

They couldn't affort to spend $100M/movie if they didn't get the money back!

Therefore, iPod sales are 'extra' income for them.

I know that there may be some drop-off in theatre ticket sales if the same movie is available via iPod sometime in the future, but don't they face this now with DVD sales?

It may be simplistic, but why not hold back offering the on-line sale of the movie until they have exhausted the 'theatre experience' the way they do with DVD sales, and then get ready for the '2nd wave' of additional income.

I agree that you should pay for what you have, but I also think you should get what you pay for without excessive restrictions. Yes, electronic media differs from physical media and some rules should be different, but the underlying principles stay the same.

Except that iPod/iTMS sales would represent, generally speaking, the loss of a DVD sale. They would love, I am sure, to ONLY sell through iTMS and similar services, assuming:

1) They sold the same number of copies,
2) They had the same or great profit margin, and
3) They had better/stricter copy protection.

On that note, I'm still amazed no one has reverse engineered the iTMS video copy protection scheme. I hear DVDJohn has done it, but is using his powers for "good" (well, his good) and selling it to companies who want to offer DRM'd video for playback on iPods without going through Apple.

Continuing with my Heat theme.

Question...anyone know where i can change the SD card and jumpdrive icons in Candybar?


You don't. You change the icon when the drive is plugged in. It should let you.

For feature films? I call BS! Maybe for independent "features" and even that is debatable.

The 8 major network shows that have post at my workplace 1 FCP, 1 Avid on Windows, 6 Avid on Mac.

I call bs too.

Now if this guy is not leaving to retire. Then RIP Apple. Seriously, if Apple thinks I want my computer to resemble an overgrown iPad then they can loose my money and I'll be buying an Alienware.
Microsoft seem to be the only ones that still get computers? Apple has done brilliantly as well but I really do worry that they have an itch to dumb them down to ridiculous levels!!

Then again...... perhaps the man is leaving because he just is not comfortable with the talk from other employee's about where they want to take Apple after Mr Jobs leaves which is no doubt going to be very soon. I have a feeling they want to go in an entirely new direction..

IMO you don't leave a massively successful company after 22 years without a reason unless your retiring.

The white model looks far worse than the black model. Apple should have used the 3G design anyway, it was way better than the iPhone 4's design...

This.

You can at least carry a 3G/3GS around without worrying that the front and back of the phone will shatter from the slightest drop or bump.

Played around with geektool a bit.
Still need to tidy it up a bit.
Wallpaper is found on DA same with all the icons, etc

Mediocre, at best.

12 Petabytes, is that all (Lame).

In a few years you'll have that much in your wristwatch.

I wonder if any individual track has hit a million downloads yet. :cool:

Wow, that 'packuaging' is nice ;)
(And yes, it's an intentional typo, watch the vid)

i'm going at 8 in hopes of getting one without waiting all night, hopefully it works out :D

I never considered doing this, at least not before now.

Thanks for the link.

Welcome mate :)

Does anyone else think this is a desperate attempt by Adobe to stay in the tablet game? ...

mmmm... no, only you.

Why is it that every Adobe story on MR prompts the inevitable "Look how desperate Adobe is..." comment?

Why would you NOT be happy they're taking the iPad seriously, and building a useful* app for it?

*useful to the casual Photoshop user, rather than the professional, who needs the control only a mouse offers

If I could get Apple's programmers to make one change, the first would be to bring back the handy method of choosing what application to open from a web address in email.

Used to be that if you wanted to change this, you option-clicked on the address, and a list of applications came up.

This is now gone, and I have no idea how to change the browser that is the automatic choice.

Others? What would you change?

Its only BBC iPlayer and TVcatchup.com. Youtube is better but still glitchy

For iPlayer use iPlayer Grabber (http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/29604/iplayer-grabber) which will allow you to directly download the streams that you can later delete. Once you have the file on your drive use the G4 optimized Mplayer I created this (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1129727&highlight=) thread to share. Be sure to set the Mplayer preferences the way I show there for best results.

I will look into a tvcatchup solution. Does it use flash? If so then Firefox with the FlashGot extension should do the trick to download them and then use Mplayer like the iPlayer videos.

As for youtube I am shocked you have not heard of Mactubes (http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/28608/mactubes). Simply set the player setting in preferences to Quicktime and it will play youtube without even breaking a sweat. The fact that there is no need to go to the site or download the videos first makes it practical and also makes a new user experience without the ads and comments. You can see comments in video info though.

Good thing I had it in my iTunes because it was gone from the store when I went to download it.

I bought Tweetie 1 when it first came out and have been relatively happy with it... now that I see Tweetie 2 is out, I was about to buy it ,when I noticed Tweetie 1 is no longer available. Doesn't anyone else see a problem with this? What happens if something happens to the Twitter API, forcing all developers of all platforms to rewrite some code. Wouldn't that mean the thousands of people who bought Tweetie 1 would be SOL?

I'm all for paying developers for coming out with newer versions of their software.. and people here are complaining about how the App Store buyers shouldn't be bitching about having to spend $3 here and there when normal Desktop apps can cost $10, $20, $30 etc.. but there's a difference... If I go to buy a Mac App, there's always the old version that I can download if I so choose.

I paid for Tweetie 1.. this means that if my computer goes, and I lose my downloaded version, i'll never be able to download it again? Or if i'm on the road and my iPhone has a problem and I want to re-download through the App Store, I can't? Sorry, but that's not acceptable to me.

Look at Pangea Software's Enigmo for example. I bought that and had fun with it. Enigmo 2 is out, but it's not replacing Enigmo... Both versions are available...

This is ridiculous. Especially when Loren and all his loyal followers are justifying the price because Tweetie 2 is a new app, not an upgrade. If that's the case then why is the app it's NOT replacing gone from the App Store?

This dude is scheisty. I wish I hadn't paid for either of his apps.

I have text messaging blocked on my account, so this would not be a good deal for me. Why would I want to pay $20/mo for text messaging when I can use Google Voice and pay nothing? The unlimited mobile to mobile would be nice, but not when it requires the text messaging plan. For those who DO have the texting plan already, then this is a very nice addition.

You know the new games would be more interesting if played like that too. These first person shooter games are ridiculous because you keep getting back up after dying. The thing is that it doesn't seem as boring to play like that because the scenery of the game keeps changing. But try having two people play as far as possible with one life or three if that is standard and go as far as possible on that. I bet it is a better game if you play with the rul that you start over when you die in the game.
That's why the most common scenario for Goldeneye tournaments, real or not, was One Shot Kill.
