I can't agree with Jobs on this one.
In this era of WTDs (wax-tramsitted diseases), there will be no sharing of my earbuds!
But if the person has a player, Zune or anything, then they also have their OWN earphones :)
Okay, if you're hitting on girls who you believe might possibly be carrying exotic diseases in their ear wax ...
On the other hand, maybe someone should start selling "earbud condoms". Yeah, the sound is muffled and less than satisfying, but at least you won't get a WTD!

Who cares about Flash? Most of the time it's used, it's because the web designers are too dumb or lazy to get the page right without it, because they haven't kept out with what a modern browser is capable of.
Hey I hate Flash more than most but in this case Adobe has a clear case of doing the right thing...
Imagine just for a moment you were in charge of Flash at Adobe.... Okay, STOP! before you erase its entire existance off the Adobe corp. servers (and back ups) lol -- take a second and check your email and what's that you find? X hundred? x thousand?? people all crying to you why Flash doesn't work on the iPhone... If I were the man in charge I'd say enough of this crap ... we have an iPhone ready (aka SUPER CRAPTASTC!) version of Flash all packed up and ready to explode err... ready to go and Apple cuts us off?!?!? well &*#&$*( them! I'm not fielding any more nasty grams from people ask ME why its not on their stupid little crappy iPhone ... Lets tell em exactly WHY it's not and be done with the entire mess.
Now that was me being an Adobe guy... I actually have a great fondness for my iPhone and a mild hate over the controls Apple has imposed over App store approvals. I'm also a "hey what is this FLASH?! that you speak of?!?!" and why would I ever care to have it on my machine... I've got this flash blocker and cept for certian video sites I get by just fine without seeing crappy flash presentations that are pretending to be Web pages...
Sorry flashers. Flash is not the web no matter how much you beat the drum that it is. It's an abomination not unlike Microsofts Active X. So drop the flash-pipe, spark up a doob and read some Perl Camel books and once you've got a good head on then get some cookies and move over to some Ruby on Rails books or perhaps PHP. Get to know the 'real web'. :D

off switch or not, you have to realize that the more companies will be manufacturing 3D devices, the more companies will create 3D content for these devices
it's a crappy circle...
Who cares if someone creates 3D content for a device? Again, explain the negative here? How does this hurt you as a 2D viewer. Unless they start making 3D only content, your experience should not change.
As much as I don't like 3D stuff being shoved down my face, I also like the choice of being able to view something in 3D, rather than not having the choice at all.
I find it strange how there's so much angst against something that is completely optional to the user. That's like me being annoyed someone else is able to turn on Bluetooth.

As I eagerly await delivery of my first iPad, I know that I want an iPod that will only play music. When I am exercising, I don't want to receive phone calls or emails, I just want music, and I want a device that will hold all of my 12,145 songs, with room to grow.
I don't needs apps, I don't want communication...I just want music.
Airplane mode?

The iPhone 4.. A POS :D that's what it is. And that's not a wild hyperbole. A wild hyperbole would be "it's the worst phone ever, in the universe" Compared to the other iphones, it is. Actually, it sounds as if your exaggerating what I'm saying for the sake of envoking feelings... Which is a hyperbole. :-)
What makes it a piece of ****, exactly? The issues it had early on that were fixed with the software update? It's much more superior in every way to the 3GS than the 3GS was to the 3.
Personally, I've sold my past iphones on craigslist, and bought the new model each year since the 3G, and actually made money from one to the next each time (sold the 3GS for $315, and bought the 4 for $230...or whatever it was to do an early upgrade)...never got why more people didn't do that.
Oh, back on topic...I'll sell my iphone 4 for more than it's gonna cost me for the 5 no matter when they put it out and what they have on it and I reckon I'll be happy. ;)

Heh, my roommate tells me he's got a family friend where the husband and wife have figured out a good compromise (only works if both sides are actually decent with money ;) ).
If either buys an expensive purchase, the other side gets to also buy something of equivalent value. Apparently it keeps them in check about overspending cause they realize it will cost their household twice the amount of money and it stays fair cause both sides get to enjoy a purchase of their own.
Anyways, to the people making jokes about the wife being over controlling, projecting much? Other than the wife saying no, we have no idea why she said no. It could be they are on a tight budget (and the husband tends to be a little too impulsive with his spending). Or that they discussed it and realized they could use the money better elsewhere.
And just cause she said no doesn't mean he hasn't told her no on some of her purchases either... One of her arguements could be, "I wasn't able to get this cause we're trying to save for this and yet you got that?".
You don't know the whole story and it amazes me how people immediately assume the wife is just some controlling witch and that the guy is just some poor schmuck at the whim of his wife. Maybe his wife is having to put up with having a tight budget and a husband who doesn't know how to conserve money when needed. Maybe they even both discussed it and both came to the conclusion that he didn't need it and just for humor value he joked to the clerk when returning it, "Wife said no." (Maybe he was just embarrassed to be returning it so joked that to not look so bad himself, it was her fault obviously. Maybe she was there and didn't even mind him blaming her jokingly).

What's with the focus on 'sold out'? Simply limit your passes well below the projected numbers of participants, and there you go, sold out. It's just a math game and a marketing ploy.
There is no "focus" on sold out.
It is just mentioned to show the interest in Apple by developers.
If you never organized an event, here is (in a simplified way) how it goes:
You find a place an a location/facility based on what you estimate the attendance will be.
(Sometimes you can't even get a facility big enough and have to take what you can get)
That facility will hold a certain amount of people
You promote the event and sell tickets.
Eventually you will sell out or have tickets left over.
No magic in holding back tickets or use smaller facilities to make it look sold out.
There is also a point where too many people would not be able to learn efficiently what is coming.
Why not pack 80,000 developers into New York's Giants Stadium?

The security-through-obscurity myth of OS X has long been debunked. Do you know what the most used computer OS in the world is? Linux. And there are very, very few viruses for linux.
The rampant virus ecosystem is a flaw in Windows, not an inherent fact of all operating systems.
Macs have a decent market share and a very large mindshare, but yet are still virus free (though there have been a couple trojans that fizzled out).

From reading these and other forums for years we know how many Mac/Apple haters there are out there. Don't you think if they could create viruses etc. for Macs to make them look bad they would!!!???

But, my giant WTF goes to the bolded. You really think the Revolutionary War was unnecessary? How else would you have proposed separating from Britain?
It would've saved me a lengthy and costly Visa application process!
But seriously. Gaddafi and his regime has been hated for years, he just managed to stay under the radar with the crazier mofos in the Middle East taking focus.
Sending US or British troops in would be a bad idea, because nobody wants another occupation, but enforcing a no fly zone means a couple of things. We help make the revolution there a slightly leveller playing field. We are responding to all of the reports of distress from human beings.
Obama isn't sending you to war but to assist in a humanitarian effort against a sociopath. I fear that the Islamic nations backing action had sectarian reasons behind their support though.

It's not like it takes that long to press an icon, although it might help some in the cold winter when I have gloves on.
I'm in MN and gloves are a necessity for about half of the year. I made my own iGloves...bought some knit gloves opened up just the tips of the thumbs. Of course on very cold days knit gloves won't do, but I have have the heart to cut leather gloves.

One thing I really hate about this Zune thing is the amount of free publicity Microsoft has gotten.
For months on end we've been bombarded with Zune-friendly "news" articles calling it an "iPod killer". Even before Microsoft had a name for it, before they had any sort of design for it, while it was still vaporware, the media kept hammering home, "iPod killer" while seeming to drool over the prospect.
There's STILL no actual product on the store shelves.
It's disgusting, really.

Second.
Although... it could have just been fans who already owned pirated copies deciding that they liked the Beatles so much that they should legally download it.
I do that sometimes if I like something a lot and regret having pirated it.
So, if you steal something from the store, and feel guilty about it later, do you sneak in and try to put it back on the shelf? Just curious.
