I'm fairly sure you're not the only one who has the same concern, especially when iPad threads get derailed.
A few years ago, when the iPhone came out and the iPhone forums were set up, there were also a lot of threads in there about other phones and manufacturers, which seemed to annoy a lot of people and draw a lot of hostile discussion, so much so that I created a poll and placed it as a sticky in there to gauge how people felt about using the iPhone forums in this way.
From memory, after 3-4 months of leaving the poll open, I think it split fairly evenly, with about half of the iPhone regulars wanting to keep it purely iPhone-related, the other half wanting to talk about rival smartphones in the iPhone forum.
There was some discussion about having a policy where we would move Nokia-related threads (for instance) into Community Discussion, a practice that didn't really work out and doesn't seem to have been continued, perhaps because the problem has subdued a little or that it didn't represent an ideal solution either.
So, it's a similar situation and has affected more than just the iPad forums over the years. Perhaps there's scope for setting up a new, broad but carefully limited umbrella or sub-forum for non-Apple tech with a little shuffling around.
Or perhaps it might be best to just ride it out for a while, sit tight, keep an eye on whether this is a temporary thing and see where things stand in a few months. The tablet tide is high right now; what will it be like when the water recedes a little?

I know someone who has an original iPhone 2G 8GB still sealed and may be willing to sell it. How do I tell if it's a refurb? Or if it's an early or late production model? The box shows all the old original icons and does not show the App Store or iTunes Store on it as an app.
I am thinking about buying it to collect (and leave it sealed) but I want to make sure it's something worth having.
By looking at the serial number on the back of the box, how do I tell if it's a refurb? What country was it sold in? When was it made? What information can I get from it?
No, I do not have the serial number at this time.

Thanks. Is there a particular reason it did it though?
Who knows? I wouldn't worry about it, unless it happens frequently.

OpenGL Improvements
Leopard also provides a dramatic increase in OpenGL performance by offloading CPU-based processing onto another thread which can then run on a separate CPU core feeding the GPU. This can increase, or in some cases, even double the performance of OpenGL-based applications.
Does anyone know if this is only for Core 2 Duo or does it include Core Duo as well?

I was working the early shift at Sydney International Airport that day. On the shuttle bus to the airport the radio announcer said a plane had flown into a building in New York, we all laughed because we thought he must have gotten his information wrong.
When we arrived at the airport there on the screens was the event unfolding, much to our horror. I recall as the morning progressed the news was being broadcast on all the TV's around the terminal. Everyone was sitting around looking pasty faced and flights were systematically being cancelled. No-one (workers or passengers) were speaking, it was surreal. However all the oriental passengers were buzzing around, shopping, eating and joking. For them it was an opportunity to shop unimpeded. It was like they didn't see the screens around them. Occasionally they'd look up and then would go on with what they were doing.

There is no jailbreak yet.
Of course it didn't work.
What the hell made you think it might?
Lol Yeah I know I just had to try.....just a little impatient but I'm cool. That's what ya get when ya rush out and get the latest thing. Unlike me usually I'd wait months before JB anything. I was fortunate enough to JB the first iPad for a friend who let me hold it for a week. The JB is soo sweet on a iPad ("

Heres the thing the new wireless spectrum actually is WiMax, to those who don't know what WiMax is, pretty much some people say its WIFI on steroids. Also the fact that if Tmobile is talking to apple it may have to do not only with Iphones but laptops. Wimax works in a way that you can have broadband connections up to 75mbps. So if Tmobile is talking to Apple they are probably going to design a chip or something so that people who buy apple then sign on to Tmobile and will have access to the internet with extremely high speeds anywhere in the US. :) What Tmobile is doing has more to do with Laptops than it would with Phones. Think of it on WiMax you can have IPTV and VOIP running and still surf the net. Not only that Intel and Motorola invested over 1 billion into Clearwire, INTEL IS designing new chips for WIMAX. I dont think this has to do with the Iphones.

Steal: To take (the property of another) without right or permission.
When you copy something, you're not taking it. The original is still there.
Steal: to take or appropriate without right or leave and with intent to keep or make use of wrongfully
This would include property, services, etc. By copying songs (software, bandwidth, comic material, etc.), you are essentially taking money that rightfully belongs to the owner of that material, who should have received some sort of royalty payment for the transaction.

it's great for 'sketching'. a lot of pro musicians admit to using it as a recording studio on the go. but for serious production, its limitations become evident once you start mixing down your work. i'm not sure about GB 9, but I think GB tops out at (a mixdown aiff file) 24 bit /44khz audio.

Yeah, Office will stay. They said they are committed for at least 5 more years. Office is probably the only Mac software they develop and actually make a decent profit on.
The MBU is one of the more profitable parts of Microsoft, and they want to keep it for the money, for the leverage on Apple, and to avoid the immediate anti-trust lawsuit they'd face if they refused to support OSX.
There's lots of benefits to keeping the MBU alive and lots of downsides to killing it out of spite.
VPC was never really part of the MBU.

check if they require verification for you to change your email address. If not, it's probably fake.
It doesn't verify....interesting. Oh well, it was an interesting thought for a little while.

Will iTunes advise me when a CD is being duplicated so I can save the time it takes ripping that one and allow me to move on to the next?
If not, once I've re-ripped my 2 or 300 CDs, is there a simple way to delete the dupicates out of iTunes? What if they are different versions of the same song - exactly but from different sources (different CDs, like Artist X, then Artist X Greatest Hits, or Artist X as part of a soundtrack compilation).
If you did not change the music file description, iTunes will not make duplicates.
If you deleted files properly (using iTunes), you should not have duplicate files.
Live music of course would have different metadata than regular version, and thus will be added if you have the regular version already.
Search your iTunes library (iTunes spotlight). It's faster than putting a disk in, waiting for the the cd description to be downloaded, etc. But why wouldn't you know what music isn't in your library? I have thousands of CDs and I can tell what cds I don't have in the library.
What space limitations? I started ripping loseless into iTunes over 5 years ago and I never had to delete any of it.

The US mobile market appears to be totally different to the UK and other countries, in the UK; a phone will work on any network (though some have to be unlocked first), full coverage across the country (except for some remote areas) and most other countries via roaming, short contacts (12 months, with cheaper 18 month contracts recently launched), a wide choice of free phones, texting is massively popular.
You never pay for incoming calls, unless you are abroad and even then it is under 20p a minute in most countries - making outgoing calls in other countries is pretty cheap as well. Competition is growing with prices dropping, plus the EU is forcing price reductions for certain calls.
Single provider bundles of mobile phone, landline phone, cable / satellite tv and broadband is the big thing at the moment and is only going to get more popular.
Whilst the US is their home market it might be easier to launch a phone in another country. They could launch their own mobile service in the UK pretty easily, as there is already a number of mobile providers which don't own their own network and just rent off others. There wouldn't be any need for them to go with a single network either, you don't get much in the way of exclusives in the UK other than colour variations.
Some people seem to think that we don't use mobiles just as mobiles in the UK. Other than texting (which is popular) other services have never taken off - the percentage of people browsing the internet via their mobile is pretty low for example.
