The same thing we're doing on Mac desktops/laptops...right now. I'm no naysayer, the iDevices are what they are. I think the iPad/iPhone/iToy whatever name everyone attaches to them are innovative consumer devices. I think some of the backlash you are seeing is because the professional "Truck Drivin' " Apple users are wanting a bit more focus and attention on the devices that actually create the vast majority of content the iDevices were created to enjoy.
Let's face it...at the moment you're not going to be using an iThing to create the latest amazing 3D CG animation or mind blowing game and by the time those devices can do that...well, we'll be able to shout about it to each other's holograms at that point.
As someone said earlier, these devices are a great supplement to a more powerful Mac.No fundamental disagreement with what you ARE saying here - these are, yes, marvelous devices for consumers - and, no, I'm by no means ready to give up driving my "truck," but it doesn't state all the facts in play.
Ubiquitous, roaming, fluid computing in both phone-sized and less than 1.5 pound touch tab machines with useful battery lives are capabilities PC's don't even have, and the advantages of these are hardly limited to consumers. Which along with other factors is why something like 80%+ of Fortune 1000 companies are actively evaluating multiple iStuff for innovative business use. The applications and advantages in the medical and retail fields alone already seem limitless.
The storage will grow. The speed will increase. The screens will get better. The touch capacities more refined. The OS more capable. The UI more extensible. The SDK more robust. The peripherals more diverse. The form factors more innovative. The apps more capable. The "ecosystems" more evolved and intertwined. The number of things iDevices uniquely do will increase. The cloud (the big OS in the Sky of which all our devices are becoming clients) will become more, well, I'm running out of adjectives, but you get the idea.
It is also true that PCs and Servers and Mainframes and Routers and printing and wireless networking (and image capture and editing and distribution, etc.) will also continue to improve and evolve apace - Moore's law lives after all - and iDevices will become even better consumer appliances - but that in no way discounts the fact that these new gadgets will become, and in fact are already becoming, increasingly important to more and more "serious people doing serious things."
Some NY-based company back in the early 20th Century adopted the famous motto "Think." Some later upstart CA-based company in the late 20th amended that to "Think Different." Both are still around, doing great, and both still rely on those nostrums which lay at their roots.
The only problem I foresee is that you'll have to be careful to leave your 2020 iWhatever's phaser capabilities set to "stun."
Cheers! ;)

Some of you by now may have noticed I always seem to have Michael Jackson or South Park wallpapers (Okay, I doubt any of you have noticed because I'm not well known) but I can't wait for his new album out in two weeks! (My wallpaper is part of the cover... had to crop it for my desktop size)
Might switch to a Christmasy wallpaper in a week or two...

Wasn't ur previous wallpaper the cover of "Bad"?
Do u mind sharing the wallpaper please. I'm also a huge MJ fan. Thank in advance!

I wonder how many of these posts are trolls? I haven't had any issues whatsoever with 4.3.1. I also didn't have any problems with 4.3; battery life has been absolutely stellar and call performance actually improved in 4.3.1.
Battery life was atrocious for me on 4.3, but 4.3.1 completely fixed it. I get the "Call Failed" message sometimes too, but only about 5% of the time.

Some people will walk all over you if you let them. Send an email "on the previous job I was paid for 3 hours but my total time spent was actually xxx hours. I can't afford jobs like that, so if you want another job done, you'll have to agree that time spent on phone calls will be billed as well. " And buy a stopwatch.
Your job is not to produce graphics designs. Your job is to produce billable hours.
Add: "Weekend work, including phone calls is charged at double rate. Sunday work at triple rate. ".
Hi. Thanks for the advice. I like your attitude. There's no reason for me to continue letting cheap customers have the upper hand.

This is really funny. Hello, I would like to introduce myself. I'm the infamous seller! :) How are you guys. It's funny that most people here are laughing about the stupidity of others like myself.
But anyway, this is in no way illegal. I would know, being a student of law. In addition, eBay AND PayPal have sided with me on this matter MULTIPLE times. The only time PayPal sided with the buyer was when they claimed they never got it and I had no shipping proof. The item is accurately described, end of story. Stop crying about it and be more responsible.
Just an ending note, I've made over $2,000 doing this before and used it to buy two amazing Les Pauls. ;)
Thanks!

People like you cant make the connection between legal and moral. A good person with a good set of morals does not rely on the law to dictate what they can and can not do. Only a lazy and inconsiderate person bases their life on legal vs illegal.
A law makes something illegal only when its needed, when the morals of the people fail in a certain area and order is needed. Stop relying on the state to dictate your life, and choose to live as a good person regardless of law.
Under that standard, your auction is clearly immoral, evil, deceptive, and all other kinds of wrong. Thats a lot of negative energy coming your way.

i'm experiencing glitching when playing video.
mostly .avi on vlc - the video will stop for a second, pixelate for a few seconds then go back to normal.
i was experiencing some glitching in safari as well (shortperiods of beachballs) so i upgraded to a momentus xl hard drive (500gb 7200rpm hybrid) and now i have no issues remaining except the video.
i'm on a c2d white macbook, 2.4 ghz and have just done a clean install of snow leopard.
machine is running great with the new drive but if anyone knows what the hitch with videos might be i'd appreciate the insight - thanks.

I think they will use the new 256-Bit advanced vector extensions (256-Bit AVX) of the Sandy Bridge processors. It makes sense, because GPU-based solutions like Badaboom do not reach the same quality as CPU-based solutions. The AVX are ideal for video codecs, filters an so on.
Yeah, that means we will see new Pro hardware from Apple "early next year". And no, you will not see LP in Macs until 2015.

It looks good. The size increase is really interesting, but the odds of it gaining major popularity across Europe and the US is not very likely as the cars sold in Europe and America have always been amusingly different and almost complete opposites. I bet the Passat will also see the Chinese market as well. VW has had diesels for year (as has MB) and I see a lot of them chugging along.

I think this makes us web programmers rather than designers.
No. It's fairly common sense stuff really to stick code in like class="title" instead of class="blue" to infer structure in a document, not the design.
Then please go visit www.csszengarden.com and see how user-applied changes break their designs to the point where elements are covered by others. Those designs usually apply to the W3 standards, and I bet they are far better at this things than either you or me.
Whilst I think csszengarden has some pretty designs, there's more to design than just how something looks. If their designs break because of users resizing the page, then their design is broken. That doesn't take away from the artwork, which is often excellent.
csszengarden is also just ONE underlying document structure and not a terribly practical one either. It's there to showcase what can be done just with CSS, not how to design a practical semantically led page.

Lets all quit feeding the troll, no one ever said they were going to visit him.
And even if one of his victims wanted to meet him to straighten things out peacefully, and he invited them to his house, and shot them, he would need to prove the person meant to harm or kill him, which given the victim came in peace with no weapon or intent, is impossible, that dumbass will be in jail before he's 25 cause he thinks he can shoot people for fun.

Torture is never justified under any circumstances and that includes sleep deprivation, ritual humiliation, or anything else that is euphemistically known as "Enhanced interrogation"
Fighting terrorists should be done no differently to fighting any other war (i.e. within the Geneva Convention).
How do we do that? They are a shadow organization bound by religious or political ideals with no true ties to any nation.
As a result there is no nation that we could go to war with or otherwise hold accountable for their actions.
