I love Office 2011 for Mac (Word especially). The only problem with it for me (so far) is on Outlook I can't open New Email Messages. I use Chrome for my Gmail, so I don't care. If this update fixes this issue, I'll give Outlook a shot. It's okay on my work PC.

For the past week, the education-only iMac had been available to both qualified education individuals and institutions. There has been no official explanation from Apple on the quick change.
Obviously because allowing students and teachers to purchase the machine would just anger regular consumers and increase the calls for the machine to be available as a regular item to everyone. :rolleyes:
And that would lower sales of other, higher cost, iMacs. Duh.

I agree that culture plays a part as well.
But seeing as your from Norway, who is also on the good end of that chart, what are your thoughts on the possibility of mass looting there I wonder?
Most people wouldn't steal food here, but if violent hoarding can be considered 'looting', then I would say the possibility is high under similar circumstances. By 'violent hoarding' I mean disrespecting one-per-customer policies and cutting in lines whilst armed with a shotgun. People here are easily freaked out by the crisis-loving media (don't get me started about the swine flu in 2009), and we have very liberal laws on firearms compared to the rest of Europe.

Wow, I need to sell mine for other reasons and just sold it before the announcement. Probably would have driven the price of mine used down a bit...glad I got it off. Nothing on this really interests me that much still...kind of underwhelming to me actually...if they packaged some other stuff like free live for a year and other things maybe...but as is no...

No rain today I think - we will have to play our sox off. Here we go....!
And Jones is out already! 350 is looking more and more like a target to aim for. As for the food/drinks I think that they still get stuck into whatever they want. I seem to remember Flintoff saying he was eating loads of crisps to calm his nerves at the end of one of the tests!
Edit to add: also Warne said this (I'm sure with some sarcasm) about his performance yesterday "It shows what a fit athlete can do". I'm sure some of you remember him storming out of a press conference when he was called fat :D

What's that bootcamp icon you have there? Can you just run Windows right there on your Mac without rebooting?
No, I have it installed via bootcamp. I have reboot to use Windows. I am not a fan of virtualization.
And that icon is just something i found doing a google search.

Well, considering Core Solo is bound to be much cheaper than Core 2 Duo, I'd say that's a good COST reason to keep it.I doubt there will be much difference. If fact I doubt Core Solo will continue to be made beyond this Winter.

What are the odds of these being included with FCPX? Or are they more likely add-ons through the store? Maybe $150 and 50 respectively.....
PS - I'm happy it's going to the app store because I'm assuming this means no 50GB of data to fill up my SSD.
You do realize the excessive amount in data in Motion, Soundtrack, & Others are from templates (aka, extra files you don't have to install). You could probably install the entire Final Cut Studio Suite in probably 3GBs without all the extra template.
Back to the matter at hand, after watching the videos, I think this is going to be great for prosumers & hobbyists. It really seems they simplified complicated editing. This will definitely appeal to college students & small-time editors who have simple workflows - import to FC, edit, export to DVD/Web.
However, I can see this being a problem for professional editors. The lack of tracks poses problems, just off the top of my head.
Clearly, no one is forcing current editors to switch from FCS3 to FCPX. I'm sure Apple will sell both concurrently for a couple years.

Simply brilliant.
The funny thing is I've made all these jokes about Apple to the horror of the fanboys in other various threads and been attacked viciously! LOL
But none of them seem to be in this thread.
I guess you have to climb out of Steve Jobs' pants leg to join reality. LOL
I predicted from the moment the illegal home invasion happened at the request of Apple that this would come back to bite them in the ass PR wise.
You can debate the illegality of the found iPhone until the cows come home, but this action by Apple is worthy of complete and utter ridicule and derision and makes Steve Jobs look like some cheap ass 3rd world dictator having a self-centered temper tantrum because his keynote got leaked!
POLICE POLICE, MY KEYNOTE GOT LEAKED! BREAK DOWN THE DOOR! LOL
And sure enough, Apple is the laughingstock of the world and on Leno, Letterman, and now John Stewart's Daily Show.
Thanks John, brilliant, couldn't have said it better or certainly funnier myself. :)

Wow, the Chinese must be cranking these out. I�m reminded of the Family Guy episode where Stewie is sewing in an Asian sweatshop, and the work director is yelling, �Faster. Faster. Replace him.� They wheel in a pregnant woman who gives birth in about a second, and in the next second, the kid is operating the sewing machine.

I think this news shouldn't surprise anyone. What I'm more interested in is finding out what the specifics are. How big are the files? How are the encoded? What is Apple's delivery method? What are expected transfer times? What is the resolution? What is the aspect ratio? What will the price per movie be? Is it just the movie, or DVD extras as well? These, to me, are the important questions, not when the service itself will launch.... :cool:
Sadly, I'd bet the answer to most of those (except for price) will be "same as it is already".

However, it's still way overpriced compared to other server manufacturers providing the same thing. Dell's pricing on their website is cheaper and you can probably get about 1/4 off of that by going through a rep. I'd be curious to know if Apple offers the same kind of sales techniques to get a better deal, or if what you see is what you get?
Exactly what processor do you get in a cheaper Dell? There is a huge difference in price between a single 50xx processor (one old P4-style space heater Xeon), a single 51xx processor (a new Core 2 Duo Xeon chip), and two 51xx processors = four cores, which is what the Mac Pros and XServes have.

What and where is RADAR?
Radar is Apple's internal bug tracking system (has been since 1991, iirc).
<edit>
The known issues list there is pretty harsh... sounds like lots of half done changes to me :)

OS X Server unlimited client is quite expensive by itself, add that to a MacPro and see what the price diff for xserve is. How much is server 2003 unlimited these days, still pretty pricy if I understand correctly and that does not come with your backyard barebones.
Also there was something about lights out management (which I know nothing about) added to the cost of the dell in the WWDC comarison.
In other words hardware is one thing but the big picture needs to be looked at more carefully.
Also 1/5 of the cost? I'd like to see some figures. I can't even get 1 xeon for that let alone 2.

My fianc�e is protestant, went to a Catholic High School and now teaches in both a Catholic High School and an Islamic k-12 school. When she works in the Islamic school, she wears a scarf covering her head, not out of pressure but for respect for their culture. She also lets her students know that she is Christian, but wants to show them that you should respect other people's culture. Compared with one of her colleagues who brings in Bacon sandwiches and doesn't really care, I think it's a nice outlook to have.
I don't really like the law being enforced, it should be a choice, but by the same token, it should perhaps be more like the rules in petrol stations and banks with crash helmets, you need to take them off before being served. I don't know what would be right though.
To be honest, I think it's creepier that your fiancee wears a head scarf than her colleague brings bacon sandwiches. How do we teach children respect for other cultures if they are pandered to? They might well grow up thinking that women of ALL cultures should wear head scarves out of respect for Islam.
Does her colleague eat bacon sandwiches in front of the kids? Should teachers at Islamic schools be subjected to body searches for things that are forbidden by Islam?
I really agree that we should show respect to other cultures, but pandering to them does nobody any good.
I live in a very diverse neighbourhood and I frequently see women in various head scarves. The burka and niqab seem quite antisocial and I find it hypocritical that totally covering one's face like that is accepted but if I walked into these same places with a motorcycle helmet, a balaclava, a mask, etc. I'd be asked to take it off, leave or some other such demonstration of being unwelcome/distrusted. If I said it was part of my religion, would it be accepted?
I find many Islamic beliefs particularly frustrating because many of the beliefs and or believers are SO inflexible but often expect total flexibility for themselves. I'm fed up with religious beliefs being unchallenged and so quickly accepted simply for being religious. Now in general letting people believe what they want is great policy but I think it can go too far. E.g., cases of women wanting to wear burkas and niqabs in identification photos. Come on! :-/ If I go to Dubai on holiday and bring a codeine painkiller that you can buy over the counter here, I could go to jail (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7234786.stm). Or if my husband gives me a little kiss in public, jail (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8602449.stm). Yet, hey, come to the UK and do whatever the hell you please and even try to change our laws or litigate (http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23420128-hairdresser-sued-for-refusing-to-hire-muslim-woman-in-a-headscarf.do) if you don't get your way. On one hand the UK's openness is wonderful but the other hand is being walked all over.
.
I'm very hard of hearing and almost always have to see a person's face in order to understand what they're saying. Women who cover their faces are impossible for me to understand.
I can't imagine a niqab wearing teacher or any other job where the woman is in contact with the public. At what point does one's religion take preference over basic human interaction? Niqab wearing women should not be awarded any protections because of their refusal to integrate. Whose rights take precedence?
Here in the US, a lot of immigrants also believe in exceptionalism when it comes to respecting laws and customs. Part of the solution is not allowing tidal waves of immigration, rather small trickles over time. Those tsunamis end up creating ghettoes and that benefits nobody.
