Smaller more manageable groups will form to go off for lunch, dinner or drinks. This really does work better than trying to get everyone into one restaurant.
I like this idea better, its far more likely that more people would be down for that instead of trying to organise into a large restaurant given they probably have other plans rather than to meet other MR members.
I'm down to having little badges or something so we can all recognise each other.
This is one time where a booth would be useful...

...Oddly enough a station in San Fransico was asking for mainly iMovie users with Final Cut knowledge too, though they really were looking for iMovie, which I think is odd, this is CBS too, not some tiny station...maybe all they want is someone to do basic A/B edits. Ive worked at local tv station here and they were the same. Sinple ENG edits no more than two tracks but that was over 12 years ago when Avid had only two tracks.

People with PCs must not leave their houses much...I've been to coffee shops and airports all over, and it seems about half of the laptops I see are Apple.
There's something strange about coffee shops and Mac laptops. They seem to attract the same crowd. Hanging out in coffee bars toying on a Macbook - it does have a certain, almost clicheed, image, doesn't it?

Wait... you were joking? This is NOT a time to joke. I just spent the last half hour squeezing into my red ensign outfit, and as soon as my shift here at Movie Galaxy is over I'm picketing Best Buy.
Everyone, let's meet there. Once we're fully assembled we'll discuss strategies.

The market cap of Netflix is 12 billion, add another 3 to 5 billion for a buyers premium, and it would take a pretty large chunk of the Apple cash reserves.
I think you are right. Buying Netflix would be like paying $1200 per subscriber (isn't this astonishing? Imagine Apple would paying you $10 a month for ten years for watching movies). Better to invest less than 15 billion dollars and try to build something own. Also Apple is extremely conservative and cautious in buying other companies. They only buy relatively small firms every few years.

Have a look at Brew Dog (http://www.brewdog.com). One of their beers, Tactical Nuclear Penguin comes in at 32% ABV. Very expensive to buy. Nothing more than a publicity stunt, really. They release a beer, put something controversial on the label, questions get asked in Parliament and bingo!, loads of free publicity and street cred.
Rather have a nice bottle of single malt meself.:p
Oh, just had a look at their site and they've had to release a 41% ABV entitled "Sink The Bismark" in order to combat a 40 percenter from Germany.
They have a 55% beer out now. "The End of History" is covered in a dead animal, and costs about $750. From what I hear, most ice-distilled beers taste like ass anyway, and that's all they've done to get it this high. To me, it doesn't mean much unless it's fermented to that strength. That means my record-holder is still Utopias.

If Apple always intended to release the new 6G/widescreen iPod at the same time as the Zune, why did they bring out the 5.5G so recently? It seems quite possible that the widescreen iPod is STILL not ready and Apple made a couple of enhancements to the 5G to try to maintain some momentum over Christmas.
Also, with the PS3 and Wii certainly attracting many Christmas shoppers' money, I would think that an expensive top of the range iPod wouldn't be as popular for presents as the 5.5G anyway...

I can see carbon fiber being used on iOS devices. Not sure about Macs, as it would require so much more material. Apple would have to make sure their process is as efficient as their current unibody design. But it would definitely be a welcome change. Especially on iPhone, where you can't drop the thing more than three feet without the glass shattering. Apple could use iPhone and/or iPad as a test bed for bringing this technology to their other products. Perhaps even the Macbook Air to follow. Starting on the devices where the weight matters a lot more, as well as strength.
I believe this is an area where Apple could separate themselves even more from the rest of the industry. Where are the super strong smartphones? The waterproof ones? The phones of the future with month-long batteries? I feel like this will be a primary focus over the next decade after the speed increases become negligent. Phones that are environmentally friendly, practically indestructible, that hardly ever have to be recharged. Brilliant.

This tracking stuff is all the Apple haters fault. All the non-iPhone owners are the one's making a big deal about it. Can't wait to buy a white iPhone tomorrow so Apple can track 2 phones I own.

Exactly. It's really funny to me when self-professed Greenies buy these electric cars in the name of saving the earth. Where do you think that electricity to charge up your car comes from? Well, if you live in the US, it's most likely coal. So your electric car is actually a coal powered car. lol.
That is true. However, the potential efficiency is higher with electrics or plug-in hybrids. Thus, they have the potential to pollute less even when the electricity comes from a coal-fired power station.
There's no carbon-neutral solution out there, unless Toyota starts planting a million trees for every Prius they sell. But electrics and hybrids are generally cleaner.
No, you don't. Renewable bio-fuels like biodiesel are the way forward. Not clumsy inefficient electric cars that only go 80 miles at a time.
Increased biofuel production causes food prices to skyrocket. That pretty much guarantees that biofuels will be a niche market for the forseeable future. They are great if you are the only person in town filling up his or her Merc diesel from restaurant oil - but when everyone wants to do it there just isn't anywhere near enough fuel.
Do you want to know what the "way forward" really is? Drive less. There isn't enough energy in the world for everyone to tool around in their cars as much as they do now. But nobody wants to believe it.
i have no idea though ... it is even more funny because i actually know the person who registered that new Chrysler Voyager (he is using for his business).
if you are interested i can easily post the rest of the numbers
Now I'm curious; what's the best selling brand? Funnily enough, my family used to have a Voyager years ago. It was actually a very solid van, if a bit crude. We don't get the diesel option in the US though, so we had to make do with a gasoline 2.4L with 20mpg. :(

I really like AE, but it would be nice to see what others have to offer in motion graphics.

Anyone know if it'll run well enough to play on a 2007 MBP with 128 nVidia 8600m, c2d, 4gb ram?
I desperately want to buy this game but I'm very hesitant because I don't know if it'll run well enough on my system.

1- Since ZFS won't be arriving, a filesystem which isn't comprised of duct-tape and superglue. This won't happen of course.
2- Resolution independence. Has been Coming Real Soon, it's ALMOST READY, for like 150 years now. This won't happen either, maybe by 10.9 or so.
3- Mail should swallow a reasonable subset of the InDev MailTags and Mail ActOn features, and provide a reasonable plug-in API, so that all the things it can't do, could be made possible by 3rd parties without crawling through the minefield (GPGMail, and, oh yeah, the InDev stuff, which lately seems to have stood still in this neverending attempt to just bring back some stability. Meh).
4- GCD and OpenCL? They should actually, ya know, get utilized once in a while. It'd be awesome to use a 12-core Mac Pro for something other than Maya, compiling, and video games, and have it feel like a 12-core instead of an iMac.
5- iTunes? Please scrape it out of the tarpit, and port it to Cocoa, instead of being this weird C++ app, which uses almost no native frameworks, crawls in slow-motion, never sees more than 1 core (that I'm aware of, perhaps it does something magical when ripping those old-school CD's I've heard legends about), and in general.. sucks hard, and is totally wedged into the middle of all the iCrap which makes it very difficult to just ignore and kick to the curb.
5.5- iTunes? It's really not.. is it. How about breaking apart all those features and either integrating 'em into the OS, or into a collection of programs which aren't this giant, slow, bloated mess, using a codebase from 900 years ago.
6- When I smack the side of my Mac Pro, I'd like for it to get up and dance and spin the screen around in a pretty swirl of colors and patterns. I should be able to touch, pinch, swipe, feel up, and lick, the interface. Also, if at all possible, in addition to speech, there should be a universal option for the computer to sing all text output and input to me.
Out of the above features, only #6 has a reasonable chance of materializing in my humble opinion.
