It's a shame the scenario played out this way. Joe's Facebook app is brilliantly crafted, easily the best (imperfections and all).
But I'm disappointed that he's thrown his arms up and decided to give up. To me, this is akin to the weak willed who threaten to leave the US when a regime philosophically detestable to them come into power. So you'd rather run away with your tail between your legs than stick around and strong arm your commanders into a compromise?
Hewitt, if Facebook had the cojones to support him, could have been the spark in the room of dynamite Cocoa Touch developers needed to convey to Apple that their review process has got to dematerialize. Or, at the very least, turn the austerity knob down from "11". The Facebook app is high profile and an 800lb gorilla. That's leverage to be used.
But Hewitt has his own agenda, and Zuckerburg's too busy picking his toe cheese to care, apparently.

They make all of Nikons sensors, even the high end D3S and D3X dSLRs ones. They also made (or make?) Canon point and shoot sensors; at least as of a few years ago. Sony was one of the first with backlit CMOS as well.
Oh, and I think Pentax, if you want to consider them a camera compay, uses Sony sensors.
The high-end Nikon sensors are not Sony's.
"While it's widely known that Nikon uses sensors principally designed by Sony in many of its digital SLRs, the D3/D700 sensor is an original Nikon design that is manufactured not by Nikon but by an unspecified sensor fabricator. Prior to the D3, the only other digital SLR models to also feature a sensor created by Nikon were the D2H and D2Hs, and as with those models, Nikon isn't revealing their manufacturing partner for the new sensor. It has a pixel pitch of 8.45�m and utilizes 12-channel readout."

Your points would mean more if it was a big secret that Walmart bullies their suppliers and sells low quality products.
As it stands, *everyone* knows they abuse their suppliers, *everyone* knows they sell the absolute lowest quality merchandise from various Asian sweatshops and *everyone* knows they aren't very good to their employees.
Yet people happily go there and spend money in droves, because as much as they dislike a large company bullying other companies (and in this case, the competition) and as much as they dislike supporting sweatshops or a bad employer, they dislike wasting their meager paycheck on markups even more.
It's the same Starbucks mentality that fills the world with hypocrisy.
Are Apple any different?
All their product is made in Asia, I'm sure they bully their suppliers to get the best prices and there have been question marks over the working conditions in the factories they use.
Everyone wants lower prices and better quality. A lot of people feel guilty due to the effects this has on other people, but not guilty enough to actually stop shopping at the cheapest shops.

As much as I hate my 3G these days (SLOW) i'd rather wait a few extra months for an LTE iPhone to last me another 2 years instead of having LTE in 2012 and feeling the need to upgrade so soon.
Hopefully iPhone 5 will be both 3G/LTE and GSM/CDMA

I cant see this really happening...the 3DS has been selling far below expectations at retail and didn't even make its numbers for shipped units. While there is a segment that seems to like 3d, it seems the far larger majority just doesn't care for it. I know that unless it was able to be turned off with no effect on the viewing angle or image quality I wouldn't buy one.

It works for soundtracks or compilations, It is used to organize the albums better. Its very handy.
For soundtracks and compilations I use "compilation" tag and they show up under "compilation" instead of their artists in the browser. "Album Artist" tag is supposed to be for albums that have songs that are 'performed' by multiple artists, not for albums that have songs from different artists. Compilations and Soundtracks fall into the latter.
I have this album called "Friday Night in San Francisco". It's a live concert by Al DiMeola, John McLaughlin, and Paco DeLucia. I used to have all the names in the artist tag, and it would show up as a separate artist "Al DiMeola, John McLaughlin, Paco DeLucia", which was annoying. Now, having this new tag, I thought it would solve this problem, and the album would show up under all the artists. That's the intuitive way I think. When you browse for an artist you want to see songs from that artist right? And the songs in this album are both form Al DiMeola, John McLaughlin, and Paco DeLucia. So they should appear under them all.
When I put the three names in the "Album Artist" tag, nothing has changed in the way browser works. If this tag is just a static storage for an extra string I call this Lame. I had so much expectations from it I guess.

Is it just me, or a 24" iMac would've been nice to show on stage with whatever that "Showtime" thing might be? That would, at least, have made some sense to at least start by showing that.
Which means the september 12th presentation must be really packed with new stuff if they couldn't even announce the 24" iMac at that event. They've also bumped the CPUs on the Mac mini today, so that makes two updates on the same day too.
It's also weird to see new releases on a wednesday...
If it's an event centered around Apple's multimedia business, it probably wouldn't have made much sense. I suspect the rumoured Airport Express Video will be announced (or rather it's more likely than not), and some tweaks to the iPod line are also in the offing, but I'm not expecting either to appear that exciting at first.
I would caution anyone about being disappointed by next Tuesday's event. There will be minimal hardware announced, and the full consequences of that hardware existing will not be readily apparent to most people. When you see it, think "No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame" - CmdrTaco's comments upon the original iPod launch, the significance of which most people missed too.

Maybe they'll announced that they've finally got AirDisk working with the Airport Extreme n, and will apologise for their complete incompetence and track record with this product so far.
If we're REALLY lucky we might even be able to use AirDisk with Time Machine.
Or maybe it will be the smell of ******** when Steve gives some other product the false hype that the Airport Extreme got...
Or maybe a full sized Wireless Keyboard.

Now the question is when will the line start forming for the keynote this year?
Last year a few people were already standing in line the night before(I think around 9pm). My guess is if Steve is going to be part of the keynote this year people will be there even earlier.

Jobs' brilliance shines through in this interview. Keep the hits coming Steve!
He's so good, he makes their "killer" feature, wireless sharing, sound dork-tastic!
All the while making listenign together sexy as hell.
You go girl!
Yeah, after I read it, I was like "that man is a marketing genius!".

We heard something really similar to that when every other company released video-playing mp3 players before Apple did, and Jobs said he didn't see anybody wanting to have portable video. Well, Apple bit its tongue and released it, calling it "innovation".
I'm a big iPod fan (i've purchased 3) but wireless capabilities is the way of the future. I don't see ourselves in 10 years still being limited by wired headphones and such. Maybe it'll be easier than the Zune (haven't seen the demo) but the idea of beaming a song for somebody else to download/hear is pretty cool to me.
Nah, I think Job's is right that fact that you don't have wireless sharing gives you the "excuse" to get closer, which is always useful ;).

Here's my contribution for the day. It's a chair in my basement. Nothing too exciting. Sorry for the enormous size. I don't know how to make it smaller other than using a thumbnail. I feel like I'm "that guy."

I'd recommend resizing the image you're linking to... to something 1024px wide or smaller. If that's not convenient, then in this case I'd just go with the thumbnail which we can click on to see the bigger version. Otherwise many of us have to scroll sideways to see the entire image.

I just called two of my local Radio Shack's here in NYC and both said that I would be REQUIRED to purchase AppleCare AND a case if I wanted to buy an iPad 2 tomorrow morning. That is ******** and hopefully Apple won't allow it.
