Kernel Panics...possibly one of the most frustrating Mac problems ever. Mac has gotten one of the errors, let's just hope that he knows how to restart the machine :p

Microsoft is rock solid?
Let's see, as a 15 year IT worker who has supported many MS environments, I have been yanked out of bed at 2am 3 times because "new" viruses that the Anti-Virus software didn't even know about, had brought down hundreds of machines on the network, and had even brought down routers and switches.
I think the $100,000 we might spend on IPS/IDS blades for all the core switches to analyze the traffic coming from Windows machines might be better spent if we just put Macs in the network and maybe stick a free Snort box in there as an after thought.
Companies spend millions just keeping their Windows machines in line -thank about it. MS has never been serious about security.
Very Very interesting point. AntiVirus contracts/solutions (or lack there OF) is VERY costly as a day to day part of operations and productivity. YES Microsoft is part of the problem, but all these rogue developers trying to bring down microsoft & other corporations are also part of the problem.
I'm VERY interested to see just how much storage space virii definitions take up both on workstations & on server just in the drive to security & uptime.
Is it NOT AMAZING that in the last 20yrs we've come so far with regards to computing?!

It has also spurred comcast to change their cable modem speed tiers.
Mine went for 22MB with speed boost to 30 MB to 20MB period. Same price.

Q: Should I want my device to no longer be able to share information with third parties, and I turn off Location Services, does my iPhone continue to do so? A: No.
Q: Is the anonymous, encrypted information sent back to Apple currently used for any other purpose than to speed up finding my location when I am using GPS services so I don't have to wait several minutes each time? A: No.
Q: Is the location data on my iPhone my actual whereabouts? A: No. It's cell towers and Wi-Fi hotspots nearby, some more than 100 miles away.
If this is Big Brother, he gets an EPIC FAIL from me.

I changed my plan just now. I had the 900 min plan with a-list + unlimited text + unlimited data.
I downgraded to 450 mins + unlimited text and m2m + unlimited data.
90% of my calls are to other mobile numbers so this works out perfect for me.
I'll end up losing a ton of rollover minutes that I would never had used anyway. Too bad you can't donate them or something.
How do you know you will lose the rollover mins? Does it state this?

Other indications that this is PR spin/backpeddling:
1. They picked a size of 2mb for the db "turns out it was fairly large."
If they are ENGINEERS as Jobs says - they know how big 2MB is. They also know how much ascii data they can store in 2MB. Which is HUGE. GINORMOUS for straight text.
2. Deflected the very fact that this DB is stored on the computer. A bit of spin to imply that the only way to access it is by "jailbreaking"....
"We had that protected on the system. It had root protection and was sandboxed from any other application. But if someone hacks their phone and jailbreaks it, they can get to this and misunderstand the point of that."
----
"One thing I think we have learned is that the cache we had on the system�the point of that cache, is we do all the location calculations on the phone itself so no location calculations are done separately. You can imagine in an ideal world the entire crowdsourced database is on the phone and it just never has to talk to a server to do these calculations (or) to even get the cache.
What we do is we cache a subset of that. We picked a size, around 2MB, which is less than half a song. It turns out it was fairly large and could hold items for a long time.

So yeah, that's ridiculous. 1 and 2 don't even really have much of importance.
My proposal: keep only http://guides.macrumors.com/QuickTime and merge the content.

This is an illogical comparison and does not give us any real information to go on.
Why?
They are comparing iOS Devices.
I don't think RIM and all the rest should be compared to iPad and iPod touch devices.
This is playing with the numbers.
What?
Then Android numbers should be disallowed from any discussion, because the fact that 200 devices made by 25 different companies containing 10 different versions of Android are not the same thing or related in any relative way. Android phones from the same manufacturers are barely comparable to each other.

Among Samsung's patents that Apple allegedly infringed, there's this one:
U.S. Patent No. 6,292,179 on a "software keyboard system using trace of stylus on a touch screen and method for recognizing key code using the same"
Which Apple product uses a trace of stylus???

I have an Apple 24" LED. It is in warranty through Apple Care. The monitor has large black sections at the bottom of the screen and I want to have it replaced. Since the 24" LED is not made anymore, does Apple replace it with a refurbished 24" or do they repair the monitor?

While I don't feel as strongly as you I have to agree. The original mac.com had a significant feel to it.
Me.com sounds frivolous.

Not to mention any names, but I don't see any of you becoming the most hated (or, perhaps, least liked) members. I think those spots are already pretty secure.
I kept working to be the meanest member but no one ever voted for me for that. :( ;)
I haven't seen any ruffled feathers yet, except maybe on the free merchandise spammers.

I wish I could have just 1/10000 of that right about now!
12pb. That's an awful lot. I hope we start hearing some solid details on this service soon.
Are Apple only going to have 1 data center? Google seem to have 30-40.
Seems a bit silly to have a single point of success in this day and age.
Pity those who live a long way from the server, ouch! I notice a difference when I switch content providers from Manchester to London (I'm based in Manchester) on Steam. I don't think this data centre is for use outside the US...
