I wonder how these companies got access to Apple's database. Why doesn't Apple keep better watch on it? And couldn't Apple just find out who's been accessing the database, and not allow connections from that source anymore? This all seems shady to me.
I imagine the process goes through a carrier outside of the US because many countries and carriers offer unlocks for their iPhone customers.

I wanted the change so that I could load it onto my iPad.... which obviously won't boot I.E.

We will see something similar to what happened last Fall? - Apple holding an event in september, then a couple weeks later another invite goes out saying "One More Thing..." like last year. and that event will be mid october or something?
Or are we done for the year?
I sure hope they hold another event. This one (well, the announcements-- I haven't watched the keynote yet) was kind of disappointing. I like the new version of iTunes, which is free, so that's good. The rest of the iPod announcements don't really interest me that much. I have a 40 gig iPod and no access to iTunes TV shows or movies.
Now this iTV thing sounds interesting but I'm not going to get too excited over a product prototype.
Call me crazy, but I would like Apple Computer, Inc. to release a new computer line.

This would be stealing, as my contract obliges me to continue paying for the cost of the hardware, which really isn't paid for, when I first get the phone. I agree with the others however, that AT&T should unlock the phone, once the contract is up, or that Apple should offer an unlocked phone, albeit at a higher price. I am thinking of expat pilots who live in the UAE flying for an international carrier for 20 days and then get to come back stateside for 10. They really need a solution like that. The next thing that AT&T should do, then, is have a different pricing structure for those with legitimately unlocked phones. After all, that phone didn't cost AT&T a dime.
In what way could you possibly define this as stealing? As you say, your contract is what obligates you to continue paying. Having an unlocked iPhone doesn't magically make your contract disappear. You still have to keep paying AT&T. It does allow you to use your personal property to do business with another carrier, if you choose, but you will still be paying AT&T. The fact that the lock is only in place to keep you from doing business, using your personal property, with another carrier, would be called restraint of trade in any other industry and would itself be illegal. Why is it legal in the wireless industry?

you don't need to have cablevision subscription to use this? i.e. being a customer
You do have to have an account, therefor a customer is required. OR if you have friends/family and you could use their account.

Maybe when a post is copied from the forums, we should PM the original poster to let them know...
Yes, we should do that.

I was doing some restoration work on an 18thC mansion in Mayfair at the time. Heard it on the radio. Went back to work after an expletive-filled 20 minutes. Caught up with it later on TV. I'm afraid my first thought on seeing it was: "Wow! That's a hell of a piece of flying!".

So am I wrong in thinking that resolution independence basically enables me to run the Finder at 1440x900 or whatever it is...Photoshop at 1680x1040 or whatever...and Safari at 1024x768?
No, that's not what it means. It means the UI is resolution independent of its display device, not that each application runs at a screen resolution different than others. This is designed so that screen resolution can increase without making the UI teeny tiny and unreadable.

A bunch of Microsoft's Zune "engineers" (which train do you drive?) live in my building. They're complete jerks, and aggressively vulgar toward anyone they see with an iPod.
I hope they enjoy listening to their precious Zunes while standing in line at the unemployment office.
DIAF, boys and girls.

Mods, please lock this thread. I received correspondence from Apple and have resolved the issue, but as it is under NDA I can not share that information. Thanks for your understanding.
I'll leave it open in case others wish to discuss this or similar issues.

I've never owned a mac, but I'm planning on buying a macbook as soon as they release leopard.....so apple please help .... I'm just sitting waiting before I can use some mac goodness :o
Same boat here. I'm absolutely gagging for a Mac, but with Leopard being so close I can't justify buying one until it's out. I have everything crossed for Macworld...

I can see how it might be useful, but at the same time, it clutters everything up (especially mission control) and makes it difficult to find the document I'm working on.
Wait, recently closed windows are actually in Mission Control as well? Eek! My Expos� is cluttered up enough as it is...

Should be? As in Apple is going to put it on there, or said they were going to, but haven't yet. OR Should be, as in YOU think that is what Apple should do?

i think it should be. they're always touting podcasting. why not post their keynote as a podcast? it would be much better than having to sit through a streaming quicktime video.

And in Perl, you can run this directly from Mac OS X Terminal:
perl -e '$j = 0.2; $k = 6; for ($i = 0; $i < 30; $i++) { $j = $k * $j - 1; print $j . " "; }'
It is just one of a handful of ways that show that if you don't think when you program a function then you can end up with something that doesn't work simply because of limitations within floating point units within computers today. One solution is to use decimal mathematics for decimal numbers (the other being to think about your algorithm to increase numerical accuracy). This is quite slow (relatively) on processors without decimal hardware, however the forthcoming Power6 does incorporate a decimal mathematics unit, that can handle 36 digit numbers according to the new IEEE 754R standard:

Java includes a decimal mathematics class:
import java.math.BigDecimal;
public class Decimal
{

Ah! Ram Doubler and Speed Doubler - those were great - worked too!
I remember those days.
Therewas also a piece of software to emulate a floating point processor for those machines that didn't have one.
Remember shoe-horning into my SE a video card so I could attach a 21" monitor - yay RasterOps!
And don't forget about my favorite program from them.....The Playstation Emulator that worked almost 100% perfectly...but does not run on OSX or Classic, had to run in OS9 proper. I loved that program......sigh....

Isn't this illegal? I mean they probably need to hack into Apple's database to add the IMEIs in question, which is pretty illegal.
yeah, just what I was thinking. The whole 'accessing Apple's database' seems pretty illegal to me. I don't see how they can get away with that no matter how you look at it.
