When I first saw Core Animation and Spaces and how they worked and what they were capable of I immediately thought of what many people here have said before when Boot Camp first came out.
These two technologies, when combined, could make possible the idea of "Fast OS Switching". Could one of the "Top Secret" features be that Boot Camp was just there as a primer. It will still be there and operate in the same way but without the re-booting hassle. With Core Animation and Spaces, you could possibly have it running just as another user and "Fast Switch" between them. Being a part of Leopard now-(Boot Camp) it would stand to reason that these new technologies will be more easily accessable and used by Boot Camp.
Just a thought, let me know what you think.:D

Good luck to you guys. As far as stocks for the general population, what a completely botched release by Apple.
In Australia I've checking Apple.com.au regularly. Initially after the first handful were released, their web site has shown 3-4 weeks, that was up for 2 weeks, then dropped to 2-3 weeks, which has now been up for 2 weeks+
Be nice to have some sort of very rough idea!!
How is selling every device you make instantly a botched release?

Uh, isn't the world in 3D? I mean, we do see in three dimensions, correct? Is this a clever way of saying you are blind?

I completely agree. It would be a big surprise to me that any method of connecting to an OS X Mac would allow it to be controlled without specific permissions granted by the administrator account, suggesting these guys left the account open on purpose .
No, the way this works is to effectly by-pas all that. All buffer overflow "hacks" do this.
What you do is send a poorly formatted, out of spec network packet. The driver reads the packet which is oversized and places it in memory. The packet being over sized over writes some of the driver code. Some of this over written code is an entry point to the driver. So the next time that entry point is called the hackers code is executed. One you are able to incert your own code into the Kernel all that "permissions stuff" is moot because you have effectiviely loaded your own operating system code over top of Mac OS. In a real-world exploit the little bit of code in the first oversized packet would contain a loader that would read following packets.
This kind os hack is very, very hard to do. and very easy to patch the driver so it can't happen. In fact any code review should have caught it. Kind of proves that whoever wrote the wireles driver didn't bother with a peer review code walkthrough.

As long as Apple are being above board on this design flaw and offering a repair for those affected at no cost then alls well and good I say.
Must be a pain to have to wait for the repair though.

I think it was worth mentioning, especially in the context of a discussion on cameras and the quality of the images they produce. It's good to remember that these things are tools and not be obsessed to the point of ignoring the creativity that is required to make these tools useful.
If common sense was more common, the megapixel myth wouldn't exist :)
Yah... well... ok... :D

wont miss him I think the Facebook app could be much better
That may be true about the bugs but it's considered to be the best Facebook app on any mobile platform and he alone worked on it. He does say in his Twitter posts (@joehewitt) that bug fixes were already submitted and I believe push notifications as well.
When you hear stories, like this week and the political bobble head fiasco, you really wonder what is going on at Apple.

Last I checked this kind of anti-competitive action was illegal under monopoly laws...
you might be right...wasn't MS hit with something similar? It's not fair for a distributor to threaten the product producer (OMG..that is bad english, but you know what i mean).
i actually think it's funny b/c the studios don't like to be told what to do by anyone. if using Apple helps distribute their products, i highly doubt they'll listen to wal-mart or anyone for that matter.
it would be interesting to know whether or not WM has specific distribution deals with studios which has language indicating the studios can't distribute.
in the end, it just looks pathetically whiny by WM to cry about this. "OH..we can't sell online so nobody else is allowed...that's not fair." blah blah boo hoo.
losers.
cheers,

...and they showed one of the 'good' retailers, Costco, the door.
Which Apple Store did you try, there is more than one in ATL.
Lenox Mall one in Buckhead. Here without a car, so it has to be something I can Marta to. I got there early this morning and the sign was already up that they were out of stock for the day.
If you have an idea where I could look let me know. I'd love a 64 gig black ATT ready Ipad2. Many coworkers have either the original or the newer iPad and I'm ready to hop on that train.

I've changed my mind on this one. I used to be in the "kill Flash, please" group but there have been plenty of times now when I've been on travel with just my iPhone and have been unable to use a site which incorporates Flash (rightly or wrongly) as part of its critical user interface. Being able to turn on Flash support, suffering briefly through a period of high battery drain and slow response, and then turning it off again is a much smaller inconvenience than either carrying around a separate and otherwise un-needed device or simply being dead in the water.

My 27" iMac has arrived! It replaces a 15" MacBook Pro. I am loving it so far. It's only been about 2.5 hours so far still getting everything moved back over and setting things up to my liking (hence the external hd in the back left).
I am thinking about just giving this wireless keyboard over to the iPad, since I have the wired version with numeric keypad sitting outside of the shot. I also want to get a Magic Trackpad, as this Magic Mouse is the devil.
Oh yes, and I am using a small cutting board as a mousepad! It works well. The 17" SyncMaster to the right is a holdover from my old Power Mac G4 I had for years (still works but has been put to rest). It's fine for what I need it for, mainly extra auxiliary space for iTunes, Bridge, etc. Creature Speakers still going strong after all these years too.
Desk is a bit devoid of personality at the moment because I wanted a clean slate for when this beast arrived. Will add things back in the next week or so.

You make some great points and I think the key to a successful reduction in military spending is to reduce it over time. A sudden 30-50% cut in the budget would be horrific and not just for a military program but in any program. But why not aim to reduce it from 600 billion today, to 400 billion fifteen years from now? The key is discipline but such a trait is not something I have seen Washington demonstrate. :(
Even I would support something along these lines ... can't argue with this sort of rational reductions :cool:

Not sure if anyone noticed yet, but there are a ton of new visualizer effects i've never seen before, and the visualizer runs at native res when in fullscreen.
i didn't see anyone else mention the new backwards syncing!

whether or not they did this. although with how hard the pressure all of their suppliers, i would NOT believe that they didnt exert some form of pressure on the movie studios
