Can someone explain (idiot's guide) the app subscription mechanism Apple has employed that is causing such consternation. I've never really understood what this is.
The issue isn't so much subscriptions. It is that Apple made a rule about anything that is sold inside an app that if you wanted to sell it on your own site you have to also have a way for folks to buy it from inside the app through the itunes store and that for those sales Apple gets their 30% (they get nothing if it is paid for via your site or another service). But you also can't put a link or any mention that users can go somewhere else to pay inside the app.
That is what has folks up in arms

I have a black apple pro mouse. Works fine. Just don't use it. Other than some dust, it looks and performs like new. Price is $10 shipped. I'll even dust it off for you.

I added a Workout category
right now there isn't functionality for you to automatically nominate existing songs to the categories.
Just use the "Report Link" feature and ask it to be placed in whatever category u would like, and we'll add it in manually for now.
I'll add that functionality in before long
Any other category suggestions?

It would be great if Final Cut Pro got updated. At the moment, Adobe Premiere Pro is quite a lot better and has a more modern interface, which is kind of strange, as FCP is the industry standard.
WRONG! FCP is definitely not the industry standard. It gained a lot of traction in market share from Avid but has since regressed its gains over the last several years.

Its never a good thing when the guy behind the reason we buy Mac's leaves. :(
For the user who mentioned that he was behind OS X flaws (you mentioned iTunes bloat) - you are wrong. iTunes isn't run directly by the Mac OS development team, it has its own department. There's probably a little crossover however generally he wouldn't have much input on iTunes.
since almost no one buys a Mac and almost everyone buys an idevice, no one cares about him leaving.

The FAQ page is updated.
http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-center/main.jsp?t=solutionTab&ft=&ps=solutionPanels&locale=en_US&_dyncharset=UTF-8&solutionId=KB116688
It's only available for Family Talk plans of $69.99+, which appears to be the 1400 mins plan.
It's available for Individual plans of $39.99 and up.
For the Family plans, $69.99 is the 700 minute plan.
Does this extend our contract?
Plan changes don't usually affect your contract. Only subsidized phone changes.

With all rumor-eyes looking toward the next generation iPhone 5, it's not clear how much demand there is for the white iPhone 4 which is now 10 months late from the original launch. So, here's a poll to see who is planning on buying a white iPhone 4.
Unless anyone is willing to pay crazy early termination fees to replace the same model phone they already have (just in a different color), knowing on top of that that it's about to be outdated, who in their right mind would even consider it? Dumb poll.

in Applications find 'Terminal' and once it is open put this command in there
$ defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES; killall Dock
swap the 'YES' for 'NO' to undo it.
AWESOME!, Thank you so much.

I was dissapointed, very dissapointed that there was no word on a new version of iWork, iLife and Leopard.
While the iPhone looks really nice, I could really care-less about one of them. The iTV...err, Apple TV doesn't catch my attention much either.
Overall 4/10 for the products released (I was expecting more), 8/10 for innovation.

Hello, here is my story.
I've been on IBM systems long long time, since the dos, and don't even think about other system. I heard about Mac (and never had anything against it!), it just happened to be on IBM, like million others. But one day it was over, it is biggest frustration to use wintel pc's, even a simlpe job very often can drive you nuts. I've been so tired to all troubleshoots, crashes, multiple reboots, and loosing everything, reformating and reinstalling freaking windows, all of them, from 3x to xp. So one day when I lost few ours of work and than this @#$% ing piece of junk crashed it was over and I start to looking for another platform. Linux for preety good, but it still running on wintel boxes (I did not know that time it can be run on a Mac :) and i wanted to get rid of this boxes complitely. So one day I met the Mac guy and he showed me his beautiful machine (it was a Power Mac G4, OSX 10.1) and once I put my fingers on keyboard my joy and fun and pleasure begun. I was amazed! I was able to do so many things in the same time with less time (does anybody had even try in windows, for example, very simple task like burning cd and run something else in the same time?, it is impossible in almost all cases, etc).
So I bought the machine on the next day, it was almost year ago and it is 17" iMac 1 Gz with super drive (now have the Panter and THIS IS AMAZING OS!!!)
I figureout that what can be done on Mac, wintel users can only dream about. So it was almost one year from now, but my machine is working perfectly with NO PROBLEM and NO CRASHES AT ALL!
I'm so happy that i did switch, and I tought, why I did not switch many years ago, why I've been going through all this pain and frustrations all this years? I guess I've been so blind and deaf.
But only one thing make me mad than all those wintel weenies open they mouth against Macs, if they don't even try to use it and have no idea what they are talking about, it's so stoopid.
Well, let the wintelies complain, let them troubleshoot and reinstall and reformat and fight viruses etc etc etc...
For all Mac People and for good wintel people (I'm sure they exist :) ) I wish the very Happy Hollidays!!!

The Golf is going to remain the European version as far as I've heard. The Jetta is no longer the 'Golf with a trunk', but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's getting it's own identity, even if it's a little dull for the time being. The new Passat basically looks like a larger Jetta.
I've had my Golf TDI for 10 years (bought new in 2/2001), and it's been a wonderful car for 215K miles. This last tank I got 47mpg. I would definitely buy another one.

Google don't map the world either - they do the street map images, but if you look at Google Maps you'll see that the actual roads data comes from either Tele Atlas or Navteq. Those two companies sell their map sets to all the sat-nav companies too.
No need. Apple would just license the map data from either Navteq or Tele Atlas. The map data that Google uses at present is TeleAtlas (Especially for Europe).
Is this well-veiled sarcasm? If not, you guys are ridiculous.
1) Google does not own the mapping database they use
2) Even if they did, there are multiple geographic/mapping data providers
3) None of them obtained their data by having employees drive around in vehicles... That's an absurd suggestion
In the U.S., Google does own the map data (http://www.gpsreview.net/google-drops-tele-atlas/). For further confirmation, note that it says "Map data �2011 Google" in the footer when viewing U.S. maps, and says nothing whatsoever about TeleAtlas or Navteq (this is not the case for some other countries). They made this change back around October around the same time that the very first Google Maps Navigation app for Android was released.
Also, driving around (http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-9809094-1.html?tag=mncol;title) to collect map data is absurd?
Let's say I'm driving in my car through a city. Every 20 yards a huge window pops up blocking the view onto whatever I do (mostly Google Maps because I try to find my way) just to tell me there are 5 new Wifi Hotspots in my vivcinity and I have to close it while I'm driving. This is the reason why I have to constantly go to Settings/Wifi/Off and then switch Wifi on again later.
I agree with you that the current iOS notifications system is terrible. But you do know you can keep Wi-Fi on and just turn off "Ask to Join Networks", right?

LOL. Marginalized. Maybe you forgot the smiley?
Let's see, largest mobile software store. Most profitable mobile software store (for developers). Most profitable mobile device.
Surely it's marginalized when the other companies are giving away their products for market share (and losing money in the same time).
Of course Apple is having great success today with its iOS ecosystem. However, I think we are near their zenith of market dominance and it will soon be downhill - eventually leading to stagnation and marginalization. We can see this happening with the iPhone; its market share is going down, not up. I think we will see the same trend come to the tablet market in the next year or two.
