Sounds good. I NEED an iPad 3 when it comes out. iPad 2 is old news :D
I'm still scoping for a cracked iPad 1 on craigslist. Maybe I should just get an abacus.

But there are larger venues available, so it is certainly possible to limit the number of attendees by choosing a venue that is too small.
There are far greater costs/concessions in utilizing those larger venues.
Moscone Center is the best and largest facility in the SF Bay Area for Apple's needs. It's not like Apple is going to rent out the Oakland Coliseum and spread out a thousand chairs and tables on the football field.
Going out of town increases the costs enormously: moving equipment and people. Airline flights, per diem meals, hotel rooms, taxis, rental cars, etc. Forgot a couple of boxes of marketing collateral? Moscone Center: have someone drive it up 280. Elsewhere: buy full-fare airline ticket for employee.
What does it cost Apple to send an engineer to Moscone Center? Employee gets to expense lunch, write off transportation (heck, half of these engineers probably live in SF - they can just take BART or Muni to the event). Let's say $30 a day.
What does it cost to send an engineer to the L.A. Convention Center or Vegas? Long-term parking at airport, airline flight, $200 hotel, arbitrary $75 per diem meals, rental car/taxi, etc. Could easily end up at $400 per day per person.

Wireless updates sound delightful, but what sounds even better is wireless syncing. We should be able to do this already without having to jailbreak our devices. Even the damn zune can do it :(

Sadly, Vegas will cost you more for a week than SF (if you want to do it "right").
It all depends what you want to do in Vegas. If you're wanting to go to restaurants, shows, and/or spa then $1500 is plenty for a few nights of that and you'll have some left over for quarter VP/slots. If you're wanting to go to the club and buy 4 bottles every night...then $1500 isn't going to get you very far.

My roommate, sister and a good friend all have 12" powerbooks. I've called my sister and friend to let them know. I was home over lunch when this news broke and so I pulled the battery out of my roommates powerbook and it falls withing the SN range being recalled. This, for him, is actually a GOOD thing. His Powerbook battery is at 52% after only one year of ownership and 177 load cycles. Now it looks like he'll be getting a free battery from Apple. He never had a problem with it but free is free.

Finally beat the game with a buddy online. My opinion: story blows. Oh no, another so very mellow suicide attempt to help the group. There was no emotion to the deaths of the members. It just happened, and we moved on, forgot about it, and press another random button or find ourselves at another random location after the last level. I just fell from the sky into the mountains....now I have walked to the nearest city, where my team happens to be..... Also last level just does not work with the rest of the games damage characteristics.
As far as gameplay, just another Halo, much better for multiplayer. I think all previous Halo multiplayer maps should be added.

Everything there is overpriced. Their cables and connectors are usually 2x what they would cost from a respectable store! Typically when a part costs $12, I'll tell them I'll give them $5. They usually take it bc it's only worth 5
Yeah I got screwed by them, I wanted a long stereo cable so I could listen to my iPhone in my wife's 07 odyssey on a trip. For some stupid reason Honda only put a audio input in the very back for the kiddies but on the 08s it's right below the radio. Anyway I ended up paying around $12 for a 6ft 3.5mm to RCA L/R cable and a 6ft 3.5mm cable. I just saw today a website was selling a 5ft 3.5mm to RCA L/R for only $.69 with a coupon code and free shipping. Oh well that's what you get when you want something without waiting.

BTW, even if I believed that Apple was going to come out with an Apple cellphone (and I don't (http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=2674706&postcount=359), I've never seen so many people absolutely convinced of the existance of an unlikely product.), WWDC would unquestionably be a bad place to announce it. If you believe such a thing exists, wait for an appropriate consumer-oriented show or a special event.
An Apple phone that runs on some sort of mobile OS X should be released at a developer's conference. Presumably, developers will write applications for a new mobile platform.

I was expecting an 8MP Camera in the iPhone 5, Im just glad it could be a top quality company like Sony doing it.
No offense but its obvious you know nothing about photography. Your statement is 100% incorrect.
I guess these are bad pictures then if good pictures can't be taken without top of the line equipment:
Those are good, famous photos, even though the one on the left is staged, the kids are hiding their faces because they couldnt stop giggling at the idea of having their photo taken. Powerful photo though.

Hows the magic trackpad working for ya? you use it more than the Magic Mouse?
The Magic Trackpad rules. Love it. Don't even use the mouse. It seems like you have to move the mouse so far to get it across the screen and with the Magic Trackpad its just gets you around the screen faster.

I just downloaded the update, it told me something failed and I need to restore my iPhone. I am on try 3 and it is still failing every time it tries to restore. It's giving me error code 1013. I would stay away from this update for at least a day or two until others give feedback. It doesn't seem to be that critical of an update anyways.
It's not bricked. You've been using TinyUmbrella, so it didn't allow the baseband to get updated. Fix your hosts file and it will be fine.

So buy the full version outright and get data plans with no caps. That's the beauty of a free market - you get to decide what you want and if the cost is worth it.
Until, amongst other things, your own wage is determined by "market forces". What appears to be gold is really iron pyrite sold on a silver-plated platter.
And if companies start wanting welfare while otherwise saying to us how the free market is "good". Like FedEx: http://www.progress.org/cwfedex.htm

I'm more productive working on a Windows machine, as there are less distractions.
What are you talking about? I work on a PC most of the day at work and it is very distracting. Dialog boxes, pinging noises, etc. Outlook will freeze my computer with a hidden dialog box asking me if I want to archive my files. My mac never does this to me.
You don't use a Mac at all if ever.

First, you need a lesson on how to have a conversation. Second, Apple is a hardware company. If allowing people to install Windows on their computers will allow them to sell more, then so be it. My company has started letting us purchase Mac now, since it can run some of our Windows only programs. I think bootcamp was a great move. You still have to buy a Mac to use it, so what's the problem.
A lot of resellers are already preinstalling XP on Intel Macs.
Resellers who are pre-installing XP on Intel Macs are charging for XP or they're willing to take a loss, because they are paying for it.
Apple does allow people to install Windows on their computer, it's just that people need to buy it, seperately.
I've been running Windows applications on Apple computers for over 15 years. So except for those gamers that need Direct X support, there really aren't any Windows apps that don't work on an Apple computer.
Calling Apple a hardware company is like calling McDonalds a hamburger stand.

Is it just me, or a 24" iMac would've been nice to show on stage with whatever that "Showtime" thing might be? That would, at least, have made some sense to at least start by showing that.
Which means the september 12th presentation must be really packed with new stuff if they couldn't even announce the 24" iMac at that event. They've also bumped the CPUs on the Mac mini today, so that makes two updates on the same day too.
It's also weird to see new releases on a wednesday...
