Meh. I doubt it was ever very high on the MS priority list...
Maybe just slightly more important than a new version of Minesweeper.

Does anybody know how far this resolution independence goes? Meaning, if finder and the dock are the only things that are resolution independent, but office, ilife, etc. still turn tiny, no thanks. But does carbon and cocao mean that apps built on those (which/how many apps) will automatically be scalable?
It's system wide. All system interface controls will be resolution independent out of the box.

I downloaded it, so I'm going to give it a shot. My main concern will be the flexability.
In the past we used to call things like these 3rd party tools and they can be life savers! It really depends on what level of control you retain. With a newer os, you'll have API's come out from time to time.
It would be nice to have an Open Source version of one of these, that gives you the best of all worlds.
I'll check it out next week.

What would be the alternative? Put some Dr. Dre head phones in the box and have the iPod cost $80 more? To what end?
Very few people care about the quality of the headphones that come with iPods. For those that do, they can buy nice set of headphones and not worry about the 10 cent ones that Apple puts in the box.
If Apple put in a half decent set of headphones and increased the price by, say $20, the folks that want even better headphones would complain that they have to pay an extra $20 for headphones they'll never use.
This is exactly my point--here we are saying that tons of people would complain about paying an extra $20 for headphones that weren't total garbage, but we are also saying how great it is that Apple sticks 6 billion dollars in the bank for three months' work, free and clear. So which is it? You want to line the pockets of the richest of the rich further, or you don't want to pay the extra $20 for decent headphones?

The advantage it that it's the closes thing to an Apple console out there. It might not have the same games as the X Box and PS3, but it's like an Apple console. How cool is that. It's like the spending the whole day playing an Apple console. The thought should get your bacon sizzling.
Are you being facetious?
Honestly, just the fact that Apple made it does not make it any better of an experience. Yes, I do prefer Macs to PCs. But that's cause how the OS works and even some of the implementation of hardware. It being made by Apple just happens to be made by Apple. And the reason I like a lot of Apple things isn't cause they made it, but because they did a good job making it.
But no, it being an apple product does not let it coast on not being just as good or better as something else. It actually has to be just as good or better.
I keep seeing percentages but never the raw numbers. iOS and Android may be increasing their market share but is the market just increasing as far as the number of users? I would guess that iOS and Android aren't leeching customers from traditional handhelds so much as expanding the user base overall and their market share is increasing because that increased user base is only coming from those devices and not from the traditional handhelds (ie DS, PSP, etc.)
Interesting question. But, I think for your argument to work we'd also have to see if the market for handhelds is increasing. For iOS and android not to be taking some sales from other handhelds and still increase in amount of people playing the market itself would have to get bigger (basically they'd be adding to the market people who weren't in the market before).
Plus I'll add the idea that they are increasing in market*share* means that they are an increasing percentage of the overall market for hand helds. Even if that is because they are bringing in new people to the market, most likely that also means Nintendo and Sony are not and just getting the same customers for iOS and Android to be getting more percentage of the marketshare.

I downloaded the trial of appzapper thinking that I'd actually try to keep my new macbook pro clean and get rid of the "hidden" files associated with other applications.
AppZapper, AppCleaner, CleanApp, TrashMe, and similar apps do not do a thorough job of removing all files/folders related to deleted apps. I tested several of these, using Skype as the app to be removed. Of 17 items to be removed:
AppZapper missed 13 items
AppCleaner missed 11 items
AppDelete missed 8 items
Hazel missed 9 items
I also tested AppTrap, CleanMyMac and a few others, but don't recall how many items they missed. All left files/folders behind. In most cases, they remove .plist files and a few others, but leave behind much larger files and folders. (you will find a discussion of these tests in the thread linked below)
One app that I would not recommend, based on the number of complaints that have been posted in this forum and elsewhere, is CleanMyMac. As an example: CleanMyMac cleaned too much (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=709930)
The only effective method for complete app removal is manual deletion:

Now, when I try to open pdfs in Safari (to just view in the browser, and not download them), a dialog box opens asking me where adobe reader is because safari can't read the pdf. I can only download the pdf.

@Kfred - I am not originally from the US, so my family is not there. Got a bunch of friends, but I'd rather pay than ask for a long term favor. True, iPad is just one device, but I can connect it to the TV. I tried SlingBox (I have both the Slingbox and the slingplayer device) and the quality is quite mediocre. I think the iPad solution may be the best.
Would love to run a test with someone.

YES i do have the same issue! looks exactly like yours
Its on the "5", "Y" and "." key.
I have been using 4 macbooks before this one and never had this kind of problem. I dont bash my keyboard, i type rather lightly actually and no nails.
Even if its caused by pressure it should happen on "ASDF", spacebar, or other vowel key instead rite?
Was quite a shock to found this crack as i babied my air so much :)

You are basically moving the bandwidth requirements to another server. It depends on what the second host allows.
That sounds promising.
My plan is to host the files from my Dropbox, giving me a good 2GB of space from the 40MB I think I have now. I'm not sure how bandwidth works with Dropbox since it's not a web host. I assume it will work fine, otherwise I'll just have to cough up some money :(

And as for your comment about Eminem, what do you mean he is the only artist who writes his lyrics more than he freestyles? Eminem is highly skilled, but is musically garbage. His last album was a joke. He doesnt hold a candle to the likes of Common Sense, Nas, Rakim, Chuck D etc...
I hear you on this one. Especially, early Nas/Rakim. Their later stuff is garbage.

But the fact remains, most new cell phones in the U.S. at least already have GPS built in so the location of the phone can be tracked by emergency responders.
Actually I was told by someone that should know that all the GSM networks don't support the GPS subcarrier and calculate your position by tower triangulation instead. Since GSM is the dominate form in the industry in the us (unless Sprints bigger than I think) most phones probably don't have GPS built in. (just an interesting factoid)
And yes a cellphone/camera/GPS thingee would be cool but they can't forget the essentials and a phone without voice dial is a phone not worth having no matter what other features it might have. I mean don't all states have a 'handsfree only' while driving law by now?
