Well, actual road map data and satellite data is all provided by the governments.
You should tell that to Tele Atlas and Navteq :)
Satellite data may come from government satellites but most companies do not have the resources to deal with the governments directly for this data. And road data comes from lots of sources but these two major companies have spent years curating it. You can't just buy road data from the government unless you want people driving off cliffs.

Lets say his girlfriends parents say it's ok for them to sleep in the same room. Also, lets say that you also know that your son is having sex. Lets also say that your son has been going out with this girl for 3 months. So would you let him or not?
I only read the first post, but since your asking opinions I would say it depends on a couple of things?
Do you feel your son is responsible enough to use protection, after all you may want grandchildren, but not this early.
Finally depending on if your son is going away to college or not your gonna have to face the music that sleep overs are gonna happen there regardless

I'm thinking about going back to 4.0.1 and just staying there. The double vibration for texts is dumb, battery life now sucks (although this only happened with 4.3+), my 3GS is quite a bit slower than what it had been, and I am also getting "call failed" each time i try to dial out for the first time.
I don't expect my 3GS to work like an iPhone 4. But I don't see anything new that I've actually found myself using to warrant putting up with any of the above issues.

Since those of us who are currently Iphoneless AT&T customers we have to go to AT&T stores and was wondering if anyone is interested in camping out at the colesville road store next to trader joes? I just talked to the store and they said they have no idea how many they will get in and they expect big lines.:apple:

Shake was pretty much the standard compositing tool for big budget movies when Apple discontinued it. So, a lot of people were using it, funnily, a lot of people still using it, despite being discontinued, it's still a solid product.
I still use Shake and have had no issues.... :D

It's amazing what you can find with a search (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=37092&highlight=user+titles) of the forums.
And equaling amazing is when some of us do a search and find the same thing you pointed out, but things don't add up.
If you noticed the counts seemed to be based on the 5's and 500's. So by the thread you so conveniently linked too, you and I are behind the numbers mentioned.
This will be come mute when we can contribute to be "demi-god" or what ever.
Hopefully it won't matter for both of us when we can but our money where our typing is. :D

While this is a cool feature, I kind of already have a boatload of rollover minutes.
That and I don't have the unlimited messaging plan.
So essentially this doesn't help me in anyway.
If you have a boatload of rollover, that means you are probably in a higher than necessary rate plan. You can drop down to a lower rate plan, and with the savings, then add unlimited texting. Now you'll be eligible for unlimited m2am which will even give you more rollover.
Now you'll probably be paying the same, with the exception of now having unlimited texting and unlimited m2am. (I'm hypothesizing since I don't know how many minutes you really use, and what rate plan you are on now)

Apple is going to (probably already has) develop its own map data. Map data is a strategic resource and is increasingly used for competitive advantage.
At the moment, there are two leaders in high quality map data, Navteq and TeleAtlas. There are some smaller players with much lower quality and/or much more limited coverage but these two have mostly locked up the market for the last 10 years or more.
Navteq is owned by Nokia. Before they were bought by Nokia, Navteq pretty freely licensed their map data (for a huge price) and owned the navigation device market. In the last few years, they have been cutting off access to any company that they see as competing with either Navteq or its parent company Nokia in areas they want to own.
TeleAtlas is owned by TomTom. They are much more open to licensing their data but with the major restriction that their data can't be used for turn by turn navigation.
Google was licensing TeleAtlas data until fall 2009. At that point, they had developed their own data set (by driving the roads) enough that they could use it in Android. A month later, Maps 2 came out with turn by turn directions because Google was no longer restricted in their map use. The quality of the maps was and still is lower than the TeleAtlas data but Google owns it.
Google, too, is using its map data for its own competitive purposes. They won't license it for general use, only for use within Google products or add-ons.
Apple needs map data and is either going to have to buy it or create it themselves. It's possible that Apple could buy TomTom. They're only a $2Billion market cap so it's quite doable. Other than that, there is no map data set that Apple can rely on having access to.
Mapping and related applications is an area that has not really progressed much. Maps on a handheld are pretty similar to the printed maps of the last 500 years. Apple could do a lot with maps and it's encouraging to see signs that they are pursuing it.

I'm feeling a little unloved at the moment.
Apple Computers are now Apple Inc.??
Phones? TV?
Where is the core support for the loyal computer spuds.
I know Leopard is on its way, but the keynote sounded a bit like Jobs has got himself some new Phoney and TVey friends now and doesn't really think we need some nice shiny new trinkets.
Totally understand the iPhone impact and the fact that its a new benchmark, but I really hope they don't lose sight of the core business, ie ME and and my 'puter

this is raw storage
by the time you account for RAID, business continuity volumes and DR site storage the ratio is something like 5 times raw to usable storage
Well we don't know what they got, do we? It could be that their 12TB is already allocatable space. They could also already have near-online and offline storage in an existing SAN.
For larger storage arrays you don't use regular raid-5 or raid-10 either. Raid tech is a bit more complicated if you have 20.000 disks or whatever they have..

JFred,
seems like you have an older calling plan and presumably no smart phone?? If this is the case, you may qualify. Not so sure it is that low cost with people with smart phones.
Wow ... yeah, lack of sleep. I've had an iPhone for the last few years. Make that:
450 minute plan: $40
Unlimited Text: $20
Total: $60 ;)
I was leaving out the data plan on purpose, but wasn't clear. So, hey ... I'll end up saving more money than I thought.
Now, the caveat with this: my FAN discount works on the voice & data plan, but NOT on the messaging ... which means I'll likely lose that part of it, BUT I still end up saving money overall, so I think I'm okay with that.

I bought the whole suite. It's very polished on an iPad. Lovin' it so far. I've played most of the more popular ones as a kid on the Atari. I remember some of them from the coin op arcade in the grocery store where my mom worked. Burned through too many quarters for just a little play time, unless you were good at the game.

Okay, I need to know if you guys think this makes sense, or if I'm over-reaching here. Also, if you'd think this would even make sense as a setup. I trust (most) of your opinions, so ya know... lemme know!
I have a Cube which I use at home as my desktop, and my Powerbook which I lug around to class to take notes and do work and check email on the fly. I'm thinking about setting up a little Powerbook station next to my Cube, so that when I get home I can plug it in and sync up files with the Cube as well as do work on either computer. I'm thinking of setting up a KVM switch between the Cube and Powerbook, so when I come home I can use the same monitor (planning on a 20" Dell WS so I can have two docs open simultaneously) and keyboard on either computer. I'd probably run the Powerbook with the lid down (I'm pretty sure there's a hack for this) and just use the main monitor. I'm gonna set up a router to hook up both computers, with a network drive that both would sync files up on. That way any work done on either machine would be synced up on the other one, and backed up on the network drive.
Now, that's my plan. I think it'd really help me manage my time better, especially considering iCal on both computers seems to have completely different info, so I'm sure figuring out how to sync that up would be of great help. Being able to back up and sync up files on the move like that would be great, too.
So. What do you guys think? Does that make sense? Is it too ambitious? Am I making things a lot more complex than they need to be? Tips, suggestions, general verbal abuse? Your input's important to me, thanks!
Oh, and if this was posted in the wrong forum, feel free to move it, Buying tips and such just made the most sense for me.
