According to the Financial Times, Universal, 20th Century Fox, Paramount and Warner Bros, who are all reported to be in talks with Apple to bring their movie collections to the iTunes store, are pressuring Apple to reduce the number of devices (http://www.ft.com/cms/s/6c6aa286-7f08-11db-b193-0000779e2340.html) movie content from iTunes would be able to play on (namely, iPods).
The studios want to avoid the experience of the music industry, which has yet to recover from years of illegal digital piracy. Apple must introduce a �new model� for feature film content delivery, said one studio executive involved in the talks. With the average cost of a blockbuster film approaching $100m, movie studios had more to lose than music companies, he added. �We�re very willing to do a deal but we�re keen to get some concessions from Apple that will account for the differences between the value of music and television content and feature film content.�
Currently, Apple's usage rights allow downloadable content to be played on an unlimited number of iPods (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304277) as well as up to 5 computers, although DVD burning is limited to archiving purposes only (DVD-Video burning is not supported).
Disney sold 125,000 movies (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/09/20060919142943.shtml) in its first week of operation on the iTunes store. While still small in comparison to DVD sales, Disney expects digital sales to add $50 million in revenue to its bottom line in the first year on the iTunes Store. The continued success of movie sales may make arguments for restricted usage rights fall on deaf ears to Apple executives, who would view such arguments as nit-picking a successful program.

Gone for real simple uncluttered theme at the moment. No dock, using Alfred App (great app!) for all application opening/switching etc, and finally starting to memorise keyboard shortcuts for everything. I've found navigating my way round the system MUCH quicker once I did this. To avoid clutter I've started to use Command-H on windows that I'm not currently working in, and command-tab to switch, rather than previously minimizing to the dock.
Usually 2560x1440 but I think tinypic reduces it for some reason.

Also, my 11" air.. same deal as my main workstation..

Does AT&T now give A-list with the 700 minute Nation Family Talk plan? The website has a plus next to it indicating it does?
Does anyone know for sure?
I'm curious about this as well. Has anyone with the 700 minute Family Talk successfully gotten the A-List feature? If so, was it online or did you have to call?

It was set to spellcheck all outgoing messages automatically, but lost the location of its dictionary. How do you think Notes would handle that? Just inform the user, "I can't spellcheck, but would you like me send out the message anyway?", right? Wrong! It wouldn't let the user send any mail at all, until I remoted in and disabled the spellcheck entirely. When I was back on site today, I had to reinstall Notes on her machine to fix it.
I've run into this one a few times.. very annoying..

REALLY? You're going to throw a 3 and 4 year old phone into the argument? Fine. How many old Android phones can run all the available apps. Heck, how many Android phones less than a year old run all the apps available?:rolleyes:
I am in no way sticking up for Android. I think its fragmentation is worse than what exists on iOS. I was just pointing out that iOS is also fragmented, in its own way. To be honest, iPads can run every app available in the App Store, but an iPhone/iPod Touch can't (the gotcha that iPad Only apps won't run on the other devices).

What are the chances that they are going to (finally) release the new video iPods on friday, and the release is actually going to be a double release?
And the chance that they have been assembling these new Video iPods, in secret, piggybacked with shipping of the new shuffles?
personally i hope not, as I've spent my apple budget for the year
24" iMac
Elgato EyeTV2 Hybrid
USB 4 Ports
Nike+ trainers
Nike + sensor
I'm not sure I can add the cost for a 120GB ipod video on top of that

Sounds like you got an older revision of the case. Apparently, the newer ones from Speck themselves are a little softer and easier to handle.
Nothing you can do about the one you have to make it softer. You can always try contacting Speck for a replacement. I hear they're pretty generous with replacements.

Android will be on more things by the end of the year. iOS is restricted to apple products. But we are already seeing the creativity that people are using android for. Being that it is open source and easy to modify and write on we have many things. Android now powers eReaders, TVs, Video games, and even a microwave
I would add FORTUNATELY iOS is restricted to Apple products ... :rolleyes:
Android open source ? Yes, yes, you can bet on it :D

Negative votes on this? Seriously? So what if they're breaking the jailbreak, they're allowed to do so.

I may be in the minority, but the rule around here is that you obey whoever pays the bills. That means that if you're still living under your parents' roof (or you're depending on them to pay the tuition, room, and board), then you live by their rules.
.
Same rule here, under a different saying - my way or the highway.

It would be help if you can give us more information on your phone.
Firmware version?
Baseband?
who is your currently carrier or sim you are using in the phone.
Without these info, I don't think anyone can help you.

I am using an eMac G4, running 10.3.9, and I can't seem to download a single torrent.
Everytime a torrent starts, well.... it don't start, it says failed and stays on 0.00 and doesn't load or even start at all. Any way to fix this, how can I be able to download a torrent? I am trying to upgrade my 10.3.9 to 10.4 with a torrent file since i can't seem to find a disc for a cheap price. How can I download them?
