If they are increasing distribution points, it means that Apple is producing more volume and is able to better stock each distribution point. If Apple for exMpke was shipping ten iPads per day to each best but, front think that because they are adding toys r us, that best buy is losing any of their shipments. It just means that apple is producing more product and is able to ship that product to more retailers.

Actually it was announced at last years WWDC. And I'm pretty sure that is final since they changed it from what they showed perviously. ;)

Doesn't most of the internet use flash?
Not on mobile devices...
I would not feel so strongly about this if Adobe could write a stable, fast, less vulnerable version of flash for the Mac.
However as of today Adobe has shown they could give a rats ass about Apple and Flash is proof. It is buggy, it crashes a lot, even with hardware acceleration it is still a cpu hog and it seems every time I turn around another security exploit has been found.
Apple please keep Flash off of your iOS products and keep moving forward with html5.

I'd also have to disagree with the notion that people are inherently good, but we can save that discussion for another time.
No, I think this is an ideal time and place to deal with this issue. If we are discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the christian bible, this is one of the biggest.
Genesis is pretty clear on the subject. Even if you live your whole life within the bounds of the Forty-Seven Commandments and never violate god's law, you are still bad because you and all of humanity are stained by original sin. Only through faith and prayer can you be redeemed in the eyes of god.
In other words, it is perfectly natural for a believer to think that people are inherently bad. Quite a fine starting point, that. Life itself is continual penitence for something you had no part in. Only by praying, tithing and doing "god's work" can you overcome the hideous burden of your ancestry.
But what are "good" and "bad"? Can you always make that determination? Is this why we have clerics, to help us understand the subtleties of morality in terms of "god's law"? To manipulate the interpretation of scripture to make it applicable?
To an unbeliever, a person is born morally neutral. Their actions can only be graded on the basis of how others are impacted, because "good" and "bad" often change drastically based on one's perspective. As far as I can tell, the most reliable moral measure, beyond direct harm, is whether an action involves arbitrary exercise of power over others, for there can be no "evil" without power.
This principle flies in the face of religious teaching: one can think evil thoughts and hatch evil plots, but if one lacks the power (or inclination) to carry them out, there is no evil. Scripture clearly shows that "god's law" can be violated in your head as much as by your hand, and one small mental lapse without proper repentance can doom your soul.
So believers take comfort in the fact that they are doing "god's work". Whatever that means. I say that because "the lord works in mysterious ways", so to know that your course is divinely inspired, most of you have to rely on biblical scholars to figure out how to proceed with "god's plan for your life." Whatever that means.
Take away the inspiration of divine guidance and what is left? How can life be tolerable without knowing that one is acting on god's behalf, without the promise of eternal joy on the other side, without the warmth of god's love filling your heart? Is it not a bleak existence?
No. This life is what we get. It is fascinating and terrifying and frustrating and uplifting. Lacking the delusion of god, we replace it with a broad appreciation for everything just as it is. When we help others, we do it because it makes sense and it makes everyone feel good, without the need for the feeling that some supernatural being is giving us a gold star for it. And we resolve difficult moral dilemmas with the compromises that leave everyone disgruntled, because pat answers are not appropriate for complicated situations, and bending the rules to make them fit the situation makes less sense than just trying to work it out.
So keep your inherently-not-good people to yourselves, they are messing things up for the rest of us.

If the movie store is announced on the 12th, I'm guessing the Aussie store will arrive some time in 2009 :) though maybe movies don't have as messed up distribution rights as music, but don't hold your breath.
I am not holding my breath, (i only have a ~3 breath anyway), if they have to talk to all of our movie corps, I don't like there chances...
But if there's anyone that can do it, Its Apple.

Basically, what we are talking about is an individual's worldview and how that worldview impacts their motivations in life.I don't think so. He seems unequivocally to be asserting that without one's unquestioning acceptance of and devotion to a mythologised usurper whose polytheistic antecedents are documented within the written record, all one's actions are essentially worthless, at least according to his criteria. That anyone can place such emphasis on the acceptance of such a patently fraudulent cosmology as a precondition to salvation is extraordinary.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer says his company will not lose money on the sale of its Zune digital media players this holiday shopping season, but admits it won't make much money either.
Ballmer said his company's upcoming Zune player fits into the hardware model because the value, if its successful, is all in the software. "It's in community [the ability to share music and pictures with other Zune users]," he said. "I want to squirt you a picture of my kids. You want to squirt me back a video of your vacation. That's a software experience."
...now think of this when you share your zune with the girl sitting next to you...:p

Spent about an hour on the phone getting through to Apple. I too was having a problem with getting the web site to accept my batteries serial number. I was told that they were aware of the problem and to try later. I waited about two hours and tried again. This time the serial number went through fine. I suspect that matter is simply one of server overload.
There is no need to submit a bogus SN to get a replacement of a battery that is clearly within range. The only reason (if indeed it is a reason) to submit a bogus SN is one of greed.

I feel bad for all the designers/photographers/filmmakers (part of companys and esp. freelance/new graduates). How the hell will folks be able to afford upgrading every year and/or two years.
Nobody is forcing you to upgrade your OS or your computer every other year. Just because Apple introduces a new upgrade doesn't mean you need to upgrade right away, either. In fact if you're right in the middle of a client job, you'd be a fool to try it.
Even if you lease Photoshop every month—which everybody before me in this thread pointed out it's a crappy deal— if you can't make $35/month in jobs with it, maybe you should a) rethink your business plan/up your prices or b) go into a different line of work. Every trade needs its tools. Photoshop is just another tool.

Exactly. Our economy did not go down the crapper because of lack of manufacturing...but it certainly doesn't help.
How is it that in THIS ECONOMY the US Gov't can't entice Apple/Foxconn/whoever to build here in the US?! Come on...you're telling me that the US Gov't either said a)nope...not gonna budge...our policies/rules are the same or b)here's our best offer (yet it was still much worse than opening in Brazil?!)
$12 Billion is a lot of money for a company opening a manufacturing plant.
As for your tax comment...I've always wondered and firmly believe that 100% of all US citizens should pay the exact same tax rate. Whites don't pay differently than blacks right? Catholics don't pay more than Muslims right? Aren't we all supposed to be "equal" in this nation? Make the darn tax rate something universal like 20% and every SINGLE YEAR we all know exactly what we're paying and the gov't knows exactly how much they're getting. Budget problems and crying will be basically wiped out.
Thank you. Don't forget to add the corporations to that flat tax in addition to eliminating all tax loopholes/breaks. Cutting NPR and Union collective bargaining rights are not going to solve our fiscal mess. If we can't openly discuss the stupid wars then move the spotlight to the Corporatocracy this country has become.

Have you ever used a Palm ? Palm ebooks have been around for years, and could not save the Palm platform...
I have bought several of these, stored them on a SD card, and: never got around to read them. It is simply not good to read on such a small screen ! When the first Voyager Hypercard ebooks came out, I used my Powerbook 100 to read "Jurassic Park" during a beach vacation (of course not on the beach, but in the evenings). I kept several of these Hypercard books in my Mac, and used to read them in my office when I had some spare time. I am also using my iPods for audible audiobooks. But even on my PAlm TX I never read more than necessary. It is annoying to have these short lines and to scroll all the time. This is definitely NOT a reading experience !!
And: Steve Jobs never will NEVER implement anything in an iPod which has such a long and miserable history as ebooks...

Did you notice how he put it? "On the media"?
Skunk you can be a good liberal and recognize the disparities in how our society treats/views different races, while also recognizing the very real presence of disparities in group behavior(s).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States
The graph at the bottom of this page shows that black persons are on average 5 times more likely to commit violent crimes than white persons.
This problem is REAL the media may dis-proportionately report on crimes done by black men. That doesn't mean the disparity doesn't exist. There is something wrong here and refusing to acknowledge the problem will not make it go away.

To all those cutting military by huge percentages, what are your plans to deal with the millions of unemployed that would produce?
I'd move a lot of the defense spending to NASA, renewable energy, infrastructure projects, and job training. The first three can employ a lot of the engineers that are put out of work, and the job training helps the rest be prepared for new more useful jobs.
