If it came with the iPod and you tell them the real date of purchase they won't replace it. Yes it is unethical to lie about things like this, but saying it "came with my sister's iPod around the 22nd" usually works.

Well nothing since I don't get an upgrade this year but next year. And whatever feature the 5 has, it was worth getting the 4 a year ago to have the 4 for a year even if it means I have to wait one more year to get whatever killer feature the 5 has (and then I'll also get the killer features of the 6 ;) ).
But, I guess for me the features that would make me jealous of the 5:
1) Much faster processor, especially one that would be rated better for gaming.
2) Same thing for graphics card/chip
3) Totally dreaming but optical zoom without increasing the size of the phone (which is why I say totally dreaming, if it is possible at all far as I know we don't even have close to the tech for it to be possible right now). I'd never care for a "real" camera if my phone had actual optical zoom. And so many times I find myself wishing for it (digital zoom is useless).
4) More storage space. Ok, I wouldn't be jealous of this at this point cause I expect it (in fact I'd be rather pissed even though I'm not planning on getting one if Apple skips doing this *again*). But, if I were getting a 4 now I'd be kicking myself if the 5 came out with more space (though I think that in itself would have me waiting for the 5 anyways especially since I expect the 5 to have that and I was disappointed last year the 4 didn't increase the storage).
5) Sure, I'd really like an SD card slot to increase size but I'd prefer more internal storage as that way I don't have to carry around SD cards. Besides, this is probably almost as unrealistic as my optical zoom (mainly cause it's Apple we are talking about and having an SD slot seems something they're philosophically against). It's almost like asking Apple to give us a removable battery.
But what about things I'd be happy I got the four instead (like if they ruined something)?
1) 4.3" screen. Hell no, I like my small phone thankyouverymuch. Totally not worth the increase in size.
2). Possibly the 4.0" screen (I'd have to see how it affected phone size but honestly imho it's not worth increasing the size of the phone for a bigger screen. I like how the phone is compact and to me that in itself is worth the smaller screen which is still imho a usable size)

The only way the keynote is going to be "worth it" ($300) is if I own Apple stock. :D Unfortunately I don't :(
Don't get me wrong, I am very happy to be here, but I am a little frustrated with the people working the conference. I attend and work at many conferences, and it just seems like everybody passes the buck at MacWorld. I also feel they need to be more clear on their online registration about what needs to be done if you want to see the different sessions.
The keynote is the main reason I wanted to go, but I figured I would be able go and sit in on a few things.
Just venting I suppose.
how much money did you save with that pass?
I really didn't save anything... it was a 2 day pass (which was all I would be able to stay for) and it cost $300.
My brother's pass is the one on the right and it cost $340. He can essentially get into anything except for the educator sessions all week long. I just assumed it was an educator discount, not an educator session.
I missed the first session because they were having computer issues this morning and the line wasn't moving. I went to go up to another session and they said I couldn't get in because I had to register for the session. I had no idea - didn't say it anywhere on my registration receipt anywhere. As a matter of fact they didn't send me the names of the sessions until last Friday.
As a high school band director, I don't know how much it would have helped to attend that particular session, but it beats sitting in the lounge all day browsing the internet.
I think I'm going to file a formal complaint with them.

The Belkin Grip VUE (http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=500013) is really awesome. Not bulky, but the material is sturdy while flexible (NOT silicone :D). The only problem is that the clear case yellows (at least mine has) so i suggest getting the darker colored one.

Am I the only one who didn't like gears of war? I just thought it was incredibly boring. I couldn't stand more than 1/2 an hour playing it.
A movie based on it? The only good game => movie crossover I can think of was the tomb raider movies, and they we're only slightly above average. The mario movie was fun in the stuipest sense, but not good in the least.

And the bad quality ever since they started packing iPod's with the "slim" version. I like my Sister's cable better, her's has the buttons on the side with the better quality... :(
...I have that cable with my 60Gb iPod photo and it won't work on my iPod Touch...made the mistake of brining it with me on a trip and got stuck with out my iPT...

Line is growing a lot. Now is about to time to come if you want your first pick at colors/choices.
Whats your guess on the amount of people?
I'm really bad at guessing. 75-100 people? Maybe a little less.

Wolfram Alpha, the online computational knowledge engine that launched in May, now has an app available in the App Store. According to its App Store description, the app "plugs directly into Wolfram|Alpha's supercomputing cloud to deliver the unrivaled power of the Wolfram|Alpha knowledge engine to the mobile environment."
While the app still requires an internet connection to work, it includes a special keyboard to make the entry of special characters for mathematical and other functions easy. An early review (http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19512_7-10377493-233.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=iPhoneAtlas) by CNET describes that the app makes all output, which are provided as GIF images even when the service is accessed through Safari, show well on the iPhone's screen and that queries can be bookmarked and published via Twitter.

The app's price is what garners quite a bit of attention - it costs $49.99 [App Store (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=334989259&mt=8)] while the Wolfram Alpha site is free to use when accessed through a web browser, including Safari on the iPhone, and is most likely targeted at power users who need frequent access to the service for complex computations.

Thanks for the reply!
I've looked at the specs and all, but I think for the same price, a desktop and a macbook air is what's currently holding my interest... The boosts in performance in gaming and handbrake encodes outweighs lack of gaming portability. Plus, I won't have to deal with buying windows separately and the whole dual-boot shenanigans.
Now, what to get... I do want a quad core, though. I'll be converting my movie library to 1080p files. (all james bond movies and the entire monty python's flying circus!) And having it run quiet would be a bonus. hmm...

Hi everyone,
Just in case anyone happens to have the same problem I'm having, I want to update this thread with my solution.
I've decided to just get a hardware in-line volume control such as this one (http://www.dealextreme.com/p/53960?r.88888888) from DealExtreme.
It's quick, inexpensive, and I don't have to mess with the meta-data in all of my files.

Man, I love to support new music, but there's only two ways that I'm open to exploring stuff from my friends (and Youtube isn't one of them).
1. One or more MP3 download samples
2. Being on Emusic (www.emusic.com)
I'll try to check you out on Youtube anyway, but if you really want to get big, those suggestions (especially the first) are the way to go.
EDIT: I personally liked "Insomnia in Song", but I don't know if it's even gonna be on Itunes.

The research arm of mobile advertising and analytics firm Chitika yesterday announced (http://chitika.com/research/2010/ios-4-now-powering-50-of-iphone-traffic/) that according to data pulled from the broad range of iPhone devices accessing its network
Yeah because Chitika is know to produce reliable information. Eg, their Ipad tracking that indicated like double the real shipments several times and they just refused to believe that their method was dead wrong :D

I know it is possible to hook two monitors up to the current gen Mac mini by connecting one to the Mini DisplayPort and the other to the HDMI port. What I am curious about is how well this configuration works. Does anybody have two 2560 x 1920 monitors hooked up to a Mac mini? How well does it work? Any performance issues?

I've wanted to try wordpress, but it seems like all the blogs on there tend to end up looking the same.
WordPress has a huge diversity in themes so similarity is basically down to user choice of theme I would say.
The best themes to look for in WordPress or any other CMS for that matter are the ones that allow control other than the basic options.
i.e. pagelines platform on Wordpress allows you to custom select columns even in the free template. Many other templates allow you to hide post date, title, category etc. Therefore you can tailor it to look as you wish, just takes more effort, hence the number of similar looking blogs.
@djsound - Have a look at Joomla and see if it fits your business need. It's very different, yet very the same as wordpress. By that I mean the stock setup is more website oriented, rather than blog. Yet it still has many plugins available and an admin area that any Wordpress user would feel comfortable in.
