Too bad they know nothing of the Android open wasteland, where few people would pay for apps.

youtube just search best, top themes! there are a ton! there are also several threads showing themes apps etc.. if you want to convince them let them play with yours. I love mine but I also feel it's not for everybody. Also if you take jailbreaking away I'm out!

I agree that "Castle" is a red herring. The iCloud website just announced their new name, "CloudMe." It seems unlikely that a site name change is created unless directed by new management. Also, the url "icloud.com" redirects to "cloudme.com." I'm guessing this is a juxtaposition of 'iCloud' and 'MobileMe'. Such juxtapositions would make sense if a company wanted to retain brand loyalties.
Also, if the updated website is any indication, I'd bet the Apple schema will be 3-tiered:
1. All users-free 3Gb cloud storage with 150MB/file and adverts.
2. $50/yr-25GB, 150MB/file, NO advertisements.
3. $100/yr-100GB, no limits on filesize, no ads.
This way, they avoid the "email for life" fiasco of the earlier .mac, yet retain financial incentive to continue serving cloud services.
But aren't the former owners of the icloud.com domain now running their business using the cloudme.com website?

Sorry for the rant, but I felt like I needed to vent to fellow designers. Anyone else have any horror stories?:)
Some people will walk all over you if you let them. Send an email "on the previous job I was paid for 3 hours but my total time spent was actually xxx hours. I can't afford jobs like that, so if you want another job done, you'll have to agree that time spent on phone calls will be billed as well. " And buy a stopwatch.
Your job is not to produce graphics designs. Your job is to produce billable hours.
Hi. Thanks for the reply. I do have a pretty good archiving system. I have a folder untitled "freelance" and therein is a folder named after each client and then each project. The guy kind of threw me with the sudden weekend call. You're right about the phone time too. No more mister nice guy; there's no reason to cheat myself for billable meeting time when I'm already lowballing myself.:)
Add: "Weekend work, including phone calls is charged at double rate. Sunday work at triple rate. ".

The whole reason Apple is suing Samsung is because how much of a success the Galaxy S was in Europe. Now I don't blame Apple, but let's be honest here, they filed this lawsuit waayy too late. I don't know if any of you have read the Galaxy S 2 review on Engadget, but their reviewer, one notoriously known for hating on Android, gave it a 9/10, and said it was the best smartphone on the market.
...Did you hear me? iEngadget says this is a better phone...what world am I living in? I know the iPhone 4 is a ten month old phone, but considering its going to be in the market without a successor for another 4 months, and Europe is adopting Android like wildfire, Apple has to do something about it, fast.
Their lawsuit isn't stopping the release of the GS2, and their attempt to milk iPhone 4 sales by releasing a Verizon model (numbers are going down) and a white version (why would someone buy this over the black version?) probably won't work for long. If it hadn't been for the iPad 2, I don't even know where Apple would be right now.

Why do Windows machines use Group Policies? To push software out to machines, sure -but the real reason is to lock down machines that are by their very design security risks.
* That right there tells me you're not worth your weight in salt for things regarding AD and Group Policies. Yes GP's are used for locking down the machine but NOT solely for this purpose OR for security risks
Group Polices:
* Forcing PW restrictions & lengths (i.e. No first/last name, 30/60/90days length).
* Deploying a patch or software update on LAN for uniformity - if you rely on just the OS to do this - then you're a moron. Even APPLE has security risks in OS X - recall the most popular about Safari allowing theft of address book content?
* Allowing/restricting access to corporate intranet portals/sites - and sub-sites. Again this is NOT part of the OS to do this: Win98/XP/7/Unix/Linux/OSX.
- that is just a few things GPs are used for.
1. I have had to fix the registry twice after installing Opera -if you install that into Windows 7 the system starts generating security errors and warnings, and you can no longer open hyperlinks in Outlook. This is Microsoft preventing you from installing 3rd party browsers into Windows 7 -I don't have these issues on my Mac (I run 3 browsers there)
* Issues with Outlook hyperlinks can be related to HTML/Text.
- that is a setting & very easy to fix.
If one simple application causes issues with the system or others then you NEED to troubleshoot it. This is why error logs (Event Viewer/Console) exists. Stop making excuses because you're unwilling to find the error or ask for help. Microsoft, by European law (whatever the body that created it is) can NO LONGER force their IE browser to ship with Windows (since Windows Vista/shortly after launch). In the USA their allowed to ship it but again NOT FORCE users to have this set as default and easily changeable even during installation of 3rd party's offerings. I don't deny your having issues, you're just looking for an easy excuse. BTW; are you SURE there is not a GPO that restricts users from having 3rd party browsers? Many financial institutions have this restricted in North America because of leaking out information.
2. Many 3rd party and legacy applications do not work correctly, even when run in compatibility mode. I had to rig the system to run some of these apps (more wasted time).
- Dude, you're running LEGACY applications here. Most likely there were not intended to work with the new OS nor supported to, and quote possibly WILL cause issues. Heck I can track down my favourite OS X theme and find out it has issues with Snow Leopard - getting rid of the minimize, close, and maximize buttons for EACH window. Yes it was created for Leopard and ONLY supports Leopard. Oh yeah OS X does NOT natively support themes - so you get the similarities.
3. The antivirus slows down the system
- Can't argue that. Its an applications that also has a process that runs while the OS is running. One of the beauties for NOT using Windows at ALL!! :apple:
I could go on and on, but this is a productivity issue: I am not as productive on Windows as I am on a Mac. Microsoft has been in disarray for years and it shows. Why on Server 2008 does the utility "Server Management" and "Manage Server" point to 2 totally different applications? Sounds like someone is shipping off projects to India and not paying attention.
This right there - highlighted in BOLD - shows something of your nature completely unrelated to the technical issue; regardless of Microsoft does have a large corporate office in India. I'd love to see how you handle work if your boss is of Indian descent. Actually lets BOTH stop right there and not relate technical OS issues/preferences on nationalities of human beings being at fault.
Now before I get accused of MS bashing, I will point out that MS makes excellent front-end applications such as Office. This is where the company shines (Access is really great product). They just make crappy operating systems and servers.
So � Exchange 2007/2010, SQL Server and many others that have GROWN in popularity and licensing contracts across the world - at the expense of loosing contracts like Domino/etc/GroupWise - not proof of just how good their OS and servers are (servers ARE OS' from Microsoft btw).

According to data on your first chart I'd say that corporate income tax revenues need to increase dramatically. Corporate income taxes only represent 9%(191 billion) of revenue yet individual income tax represents 41% (899 billion).
All businesses, corporations included, are taxed more or less at the same rates as individuals.
The reason that businesses don't pay as much in taxes (in terms of absolute dollars, not in terms of tax rate) is because it is advantageous to businesses to pay out most, if not all, of their income to employees (in the form of bonuses) or shareholders (in the form of dividends) in order to pass that tax burden along to the individuals. The government gets their cut either way.
It's not as easy for publicly traded corporations to do this, since it affects stock prices, but they can make it easy by paying out dividends to shareholders or preferred stock to employees. It still doesn't affect the government's revenue stream, since the individuals are taxed for that income just the same.

I wonder if the Shuffle will ever have more than 2 gigabytes. It's form factor seems to limit it, not because there'll never 2 gigabyte storage that small (there will), but because you can't select songs. I wonder how useful a 10 gig Shuffle would be. (Maybe it would be useful... since I don't listen to music on "shuffle" very often, it doesn't appeal to me, so maybe I'm missing something.)
But on the other hand, what can Apple do? They won't be able to make it much smaller (still needs controls and headphone jack).
That leaves them with the only option being to make it cheaper.
Feature-wise, I guess wireless syncing, as it gets smaller the dock is going to be smaller and smaller (the current version looks flimsy, like it wouldn't stand up or something.) But there's not much you can do with something with no screen.

I'm an Apple fan, but the truth has to be told: a) 3.5" is TOO small to be practical. I have a Motorola DEFY with a 3.7" display, and even then, the on screen keyboard is not large enough in portrait mode, at least 4 to 4.3" is vital.
Why not 5"? Or 6"? 4.3" is "vital?" I doubt most people desire a phone that's the size of an old-school PDA. I know I don't.
