When there is a big bug that sneaks into the application but isn't caught before the release of the app. You discover it after several people complain (and several in FB terms is probably thousands) but you can fix the problem in an hour. But then you need to wait 2-3 weeks for the application to be approved by apple. In the mean time you can't do jack **** because the app store is completely controlled by Apple.
Somehow this logic only makes me think that 'complete control' by Apple is a good thing. Something with as many users as FB warrants thorough testing prior to springing it on unsuspecting users. Just because of open source and 'free testing services' provided by the general public (ala Vista) doesn't really justify a lack of internal QA.
I guess now that Apple helped break down the practices of the carriers totally controlling and locking down crippled phones they suddenly are the bad guy.
Not saying their process is perfect, and I think some 'drama' around it will help it evolve - but - the fact that many developers don't bother to test their apps is one part of why the approval process exists.

What a clever title for the thread!
I hope it's not tomorrow, whatever day you read my lines on.
I am stuck with a 13" MBP and a 15" 2.53 GHz unibody (first one, with the Express Card slot and faulty graphics card). I really, really want a 13-15" anti-glare screen and some serious battery. My current '7 hours' battery lasts less than three.
And no more fan noise or high-pitched CPU-whine, please!

I really hope they choose to upgrade the default amount of RAM. 512mb is simply not enough. Sure some of you will argue, but I've tried a Macbook with 512 and one with 1gb and the latter is far better. To me it seems like 1gb is OSX's sweet spot, and 512mb is just barely lacking. I was pretty surprised when they decided to go with 512mb stock in the first place.

was anyone able to get the search feature on their 5th gen ipods ? or where able to get the new games playable ? it didn't work for me.. nor was i able to get the search feature .. this is what i get when i connect my ipodNope it's not there. Guess it's off to eBay for us. We'll Have to sell our 60GB models for $299 and pay Apple another $50 for the 80GB model with proper search capability. :(

"However, this does not mean these other applications are dead - simply that Apple is not talking about them... yet."
So maybe this explains the low price point. $299 for Final Cut Pro X and $999 for the full suite? I hope not. All looks amazing though!
Apple won't sell a suite (there are no suites in the App Store). Look at iWork - just individual apps for purchase. They'll probably charge $299 for FCP and $99/each for the other apps, or have it all rolled up into Final Cut Pro.

"Will you still need me,

Most people will probably be in the Heather Mills camp and give an enthusiastic, Hell, no!
My admiration of The Beatles has faded over time, and I suspect that I am not alone. Nevertheless, I hope that Apple can work this deal out so that those who still care can get access to their favorite music on the best device out there.

this may be a dumb question, but what is the difference between all those versions? I mean, between "Upgrade" and "Regular Price"? What's considered an upgrade
Upgrade is an upgrade from XP to Vista. Regural Price is a clean installation of Vista.

What did they ban and why?
They banned songs like Lucy in the Sky and Ticket to Ride... (not to mention Metallica's Seek and Destroy) because the songs reminded people of the event.

Interesting... I was about to edit my last post that Apple's site doesn't claim the Macbook has any slots... I can't see any in the Macbook QTVR images either.
It's a USB wireless card.
Seriously, boys. This thread is an amazing pile. "You hate Apple." "No, I don't, you hate hackers." "It's Apple's fault." "It's Bob's fault." "You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!" Blah, blah blah....
It's just a typical security report. Get your panties out of a bunch and have a glass of water.
I will say, the Page 1 report is rather misleading, considering the video. MacRumors should probably modify that.

Now that would be worth the MWSF entrance fee! I don't know why but this has to be the funniest thing I've heard on the board in months...

As an aside, that little localized color-correcting demo (watch the video of the event) is more sophisticated than Aperture's Brushes approach. It would be nice to see that feature move over to stills. And if FCX can render all that heavy video that quickly and in the background, why does it still take more than, say, instantly to load a RAW file? They need to put that guy Randy Ubillos in charge of the Aperture team for next rewrite.

Another thing that will NEVER happen is an Apple DVR. iTV is for use with iTunes downloadable content. Apple will never release a recording device. It's not their model. They would rather you ditch your satellite and cable and go with getting your shows from iTunes - hence the iTV.
isn't it satellite or cable that provides the DVR capability now? ditch them, and you don't have any ability to record "live" (real-time) broadcasts. Don't you think there are times you'd want to do that, iTV or not?

This tweet (http://twitter.com/counternotions/status/5639310946) might explain it.
Walled garden is what makes it work. I don't want everyone in the world to see me on there. I don't want my information on facebook outside of facebook.
It's better because of the walled garden. Sure it might be better functionality-wise if it was open. But my identity is sort of important to me and if that was compromised that doesn't benefit me at all.
So, sure. Irony. But there's a good reason for the walled garden.

Maybe they're waiting for HSPA+ to become more widespread. As it stands, only a few major cities have the expanded backhaul
That's just the U.S. and specifically AT&T lagging.
The rest of the world has built out their HSPA+ networks and many of them have upgraded speeds a couple of times.

There's still time. But I do like knowing that I was right when people were all 'NO YOU'RE NOT!!" Gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside that I can use some common sense.

FIRST the ipad will have retina display. THEN MAYBE possibly (hopefully not) it can have 3D features.
Though I really dislike the idea, 3D is all the craze these days :/ But I wouldn't want to wear special glasses to mess with an iPad--that's not very portable.
