A significant amount of the news on this site (arguably, the most interesting news) is a result of the leaking of trade secrets.
So what's our view? "Give us all the interesting info, then arrest the people who leaked it to us!" ? Doesn't that seem a tiny bit... hypocritical?

If Apple is actually planning to roll out a cloudified iTunes and/or MobileMe, then maybe the late-May "no vacation" policy at the Apple Stores is for training their sales staff on the new features. Or maybe not. Who knows?
That makes sense.

Because you're buying a game. Not a box for one. The argument could be made, "why is the boxed version more expensive than the download version? That's one expensive useless box!"
Unless Valve is in the business of selling boxes it makes perfect sense.
Not really as the boxed version can be sold on (PS3/360) whereas the Steam version is restricted to the account it was bought on.

I would ask the same question. However, that's not how patent law works in the USA. Nokia doesn't have to spend their time/money watching other people's products, tearing them apart, and looking for patent infringement. All Nokia needs to do is SOME DAY realize their patent was infringed and then file a lawsuit. That's it.
True that they can do it but the original question remains. Why did Nokia wait until now before doing it ?

Just curious on what everyones process at BB was. I walked in and signed a sheet of paper with barcodes and a picture of the iPhone 4. I paid 50 for a GC and they put my name down on a list for a 9am appointment on launch day. I just want to see if BB has the same procedures everywhere else.
yes, except they told me they'd give me a call sometime before the 24th as to when i can pick up my phone. it could be on the 24th, but it could also be a later date.

I have to say I find it incredible these days what people think should and shouldn't be allowed to do. A school is run with a set of rules governing how children should and shouldn't behave. If the school sets the rules then it's up to them what they allow and don't. A child choosing to attend that school does so under the acceptance that they abide by that schools rules. It's as simple as that.
Its not about human rights or what you think is right and wrong. Children these days believe they know everything and won't accept being told what is wrong or right by adults with far more experience.
I agree they can't permanently confiscate (or steal) your laptop, but they CAN confiscate it and return it to you until the end of the school day or when you vacate the premises, and they CAN stop you using your own laptops/mobile phones on THEIR premises.
So when you were young, you just blindly followed what older people said to you, even if they were completely wrong? Kids don't think they know everything, they just don't like being accused (and treated) wrongly.

The only benefit to transcoding prior to effects/grading would be to aid system performance. It will not result in better image quality.
Yes and no, as I understand it. A smart guy said "sure when you transcode an 8bit 4:2:0 file to ProRes you won't be getting any more bits in the bucket, but you get a bigger bucket to swirl them all around in." (I paraphrase)
Every time you hit "render", your file gets rendered in whatever you have asked FCP to use. If it's an 8-bit 4:2:0 format (even DV) then the calculations applied to those colours may shift them away from the rest of the footage (or to use that metaphor, swirling the bits in that small bucket will result in losing some). Render a clip over and over again (say, text overlays) and the shifts may become noticeable. You may also get compression artefacts sneaking in.
ProRes is high bitrate, 4:2:2 10bit colour so more subtle variations of colour can be rendered in, rather than the crude 8bit steppings you sometimes see in things like DV.
Flipside, I reckon editing AVCHD directly is fine if you are usually a "cut this, butt that, overlay this, trim that" kind of guy. And I am.

Well, for as little as has changed from 10.4 to 10.5, I'd put my bets on vista having more bugs.
Actually, 10.5 changes a lot (so did 10.4). People underestimate the fundamental updates in an OS X release because Apple doesn't advertise those except to developers. It will certainly be worth the $120, especially compared to the whopping $400 for Vista Ultimate Edition (now with more branding!).
There's no doubt that Vista will be first - on track for November release....
But it's not available to the public. This is a ploy so that they can continue bugfixing it through the holidays while claiming it's out already. "See? We shipped on time! We were 'on track' after all!" ("on track" being a favorite phrase of Vista press releases, I've noticed).
Unfortunately, the consumer release has to wait until after the Saturnalia purchasing orgy - so some will ignore the millions of copies running at businesses and claim that Vista ships sometime in January.
No way will millions of copies be running at businesses. They'll be the last to upgrade from 2000/XP.
Remember, Vista ain't done 'til SP1! :)

This isn't going to be a 'live stream'. Even the text says 'live-on-demand stream'. on-demand means you can watch it whenever you want. This is a stub for them to put the finished stream on once it's over.
Who found this link? It's not anywhere on the http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/appleevents/ page. So most likely someone ran into this link by mistake or was fed it by an insider, but it's not going to go live probably for at least an hour after the event is over.
That's my guess anyway, I could be wrong, but it doesn't feel like this link is going to work for a while.In Past Apple Streamed These Events Live Every Time So It's Not Inconceiveable this will be streamed live - especially since there is a new Paris Apple Expo just opened live today.

Upgraded to 6.34. Working on a P6900 and will update with TPF/PPD once I complete a few steps.
Update:
ETA: 1d 12h 54min, TPF: 22:22, PPD: 58165, Credit: 90324
I look like this now ~~~> :D
I'm now at 81k PPD with my 2 GPU and 1 SMP clients. The 970 was an awesome upgrade.
nice! what is the overclock right now?

sorry if it's already been posted but did you all see what the text preview says
"This is a live preview. Yay leopard! It's the best thing ever. It's better that you! Thats the apple way!"
"It's better that you!" ?? What is that supposed to mean? Who's trying to fool whom here?

No, i would refer the matter to another adult like I advised you to do in another of my posts, so they can then make a judgement call.
