Princetonians, in my experience, are fratboys, prudes, and associated squares--by far the worst of the Ivies. Not a creative bone in the entire student body. They wouldn't know Macintosh if it bit them in their collective beige butt.
So tell me, how on earth is this good news? Unimaginative folk like these don't belong on our platform. Much better to celebrate the longstanding prevalence of Macs on progressive, independent-minded, and artistic campuses such as Brown and Columbia. But Princeton? Give me a break.
Give me a break. I'm sure your "experience" is vast, and you know every person at Princeton. You are the kind of person who should not be on the Mac platform.

Based on murmurings and mooings on the pro sites, I reckon Apple will lose some customers to Avid, if they had originally come from Avid some time in the last 10 years. They're talking about going back to Avid, not to Avid.
I also reckon every kid who has used iMovie in the last few years will start using FCP X in about July. This is the next generation of video editors, and they will far outnumber Avid users. They will be making movies for web distribution. They will be flooding the film schools. They will also have the mad skillz (look at me, sounding like a teenager :D) to turn things over really quickly, something which is appreciated in today's editing environment.
Apple has built FCP X for people who have never used film and probably never will so the metaphor needed to go. Bye-bye bins, hello "smart folders". And a big hello to the do-deca-core, 8TB, 32GB Mac Pro everyone can now justify purchasing.
I agree on all points. Apple is walking a fine line between making the current pros happy and creating a project that will differentiate itself in way to inspire the post-film generation filmmakers (heck post video tape) generation filmmakers and thereby inspire sales.
I also think Apple has the advantage of the App store. While not free from hacking/pirating so far it looks more resistant that means it flexibility in pricing. For every copy of the software Adobe is selling how many dozens of copies are pirated? Currently the same thing could be said for FCP but I imagine that ration will turn in Apple's favor now. Avid is more immune but then Avid appeals to a different (perhaps dying) demographic.

What? Its by far one of the biggest games of the year in the games industry regardless of platform. PC news sites are covering it too, as would any platform specific news site when the most important games are being released.
Crazy.
1. He doesn't know that Portal 2 is a new game released for all the OS's/Xbox360/PS3.
2. Look at his post history; he is a foul mouth.
Ignore.

So what happens when the might of Apple comes crashing down on you - public execution at dawn?!
They "accidently (http://www.chinahush.com/2010/05/12/why-do-foxconn-employees-keep-jumping-off-buildings/)" fall from the window of a tall building.

Are people as outraged by this leak as I am? I can't believe it. He just stole Steve's thunder at a later secret event. This will end up costing Apple the element of surprise and the impact of a special Steve announcement. We've got to punish Lion's Gate somehow. We need to boycott all of their films and show that they cannot mess with Apple. The mothership is under attack! Who's with me? :mad:
If this is tongue-in-cheek, which I can only assume it is, then it's one of the funniest comments I've read on MacRumors :D Brilliant :D
If it's serious, then you have some serious issues :P

Sorry for the newbie question, but... what the heck is X11, anyway? I think I have it for Gimp (which I rarely use), but it always seemed like an odd program.

You think his fat ass would blend?
Can't believe MacRumors wrote a story on this. Werenn't the 2 or 3 threads on it enough? :rolleyes:
It's funny. Come on!
Besides, from the dude with the baseball bat to the "Will It Blend," the iPad seems to hold up for quite a while. I'm pretty impressed.

Apple Store in Stoneridge Mall (Pleasanton, CA) got a good shipment in yesterday (3-30-11) and didn't sell out until around 11:00 (according to the Zagg kiosk right outside). I got there at 05:30am and was #19 in line; they easily had a hundred units of varying models. First to go were of course AT&T, but I got one (32GB) and so did the lady behind me.
Canceled my online order, so hopefully someone waiting online will get theirs earlier!

The Decline and Fall of the American Empire (http://www.thenation.com/article/156851/decline-and-fall-american-empire) - by Alfred W. McCoy
I've read the entire article twice and found the various scenarios put forth by the author disturbing.
I'd be interested in hearing everyone's comments on the matter. ;)

When ethnic minority street prostitutes in Chinese border towns can turn down �100 (�10) for 30 minutes work I think they are doing pretty well - that's more than I earn for 30 minutes work.How long have you been in the business?

For Tom Tom, the map data for the USA is divided into five sets of about 250-300 MB each. No problem at all. UK is about the same size.
The problem with off-line map data is that it does not get updated automatically and one has to pay for updates (about $70 for US maps for Garmin)

I more mean that you can pick and chose with Move. For example, I already have a PlayStation Eye from years ago (and so do a fair few people), so if I were to invest in Move I'd simply need a controller to do the basics, and a navigator if I want to pimp it.
The system scales, based on what you already have, and what you want to have. Whereas Kinect is �129, no matter what you own (Move for me would cost less than �70). I do agree however that Move is damn expensive if you need all the components and want 2 players...but then is there really any game worth that outlay right now? I do see Move as having the advantage of buttons though.
I've had a go on Move, and although the controllers were obviously plastic, they felt no more so than every other game controller (DualShock, Wii Remote, 360 controller) under the sun. Kinect's technology is pretty impressive, I will totally admit.
As we both agree, it does simply come down to the games. Killzone 3 may be the make or break of Move, as from what I've seen it'll be the first AAA title from Sony with Move support. Not sure what Microsoft's answer to that will be?
[EDIT: http://kotaku.com/5688040/report-kinect-only-cost-56-to-make
Seriously, $56 to make, selling at $149? Microsoft should have cut it to $99, still made a huge profit, and actually avoided the massive criticism of price. Totally insane]
I agree I mean look at the Move you can get everything you need for $99 and the same price and extra controller. Its just MS typical Nickle and dime scheme.

Apple is greedy, what's new.
They rather make $0 than to make less, because you know why? The person who end up not getting still has that desire to satisfy, the person who bought cheap? There goes the near future sale.
Your assertion doesn't make any sense.
Apple has to make a profit otherwise it would go under. Apple saw that the edu-iMac was taking sales from the normal iMac. Presumably Apple was making a smaller margin on the Edu-iMac. It made a commercial decision on whether stopping non-institutions buying the Edu-iMac would have a negative impact on total sales and obviously decided it wouldn't. That's standard business practice.
As things stood, the edu-iMac was "too" good value, when compared to the regular iMac. However I expect Apple to re-release the iMac with a Core 2 Duo (Merom) processor at the WWDC, but leave the Edu-iMac with the Core Duo (Yonah) cpu. When that happens (!!), I should think Apple will go back to the previous policy for educational sales on the edu-iMac.

Exactly how are people going to install Apple software like Aperture or Final Cut? Or re-install the OS?
They could start shipping software and OS images for new machines on USB keys.
I don't know if it will be that soon, but the optical drive is definitely starting to look a bit outdated now
