One great thing I realized the other day is that the drop shield power up or whatever its called also restores your health which is awsome.
Yea, they wanted to combine some of the old Equipment items from Halo 3 to make them more useful. Drop Shield is a mix of the old Bubble Shield and the Regen. Active Camo mixes the old Camo and the Radar Jammer. But while it does make you invisible and jam your enemies radar, it also muffles your audio and jams your radar as well. Also, the Armor Lock puts off an EMP like effect, much like the old Power Drain, though you are obviously stuck in one place when using it. Lots of risk-reward involved in them.
I wasn't really sure how I would like the Armor Abilities, and the limited time I got with the Beta back in May didn't really help, since they were all a little broken then. But now, after playing quite a lot of Reach, I'm really enjoying them. It is really nice to always have them to use. The one-time use of the old equipment really did hinder their usage, so I can see why Bungie wanted to change. Sprint is my go-to piece, but I use Drop Shield a lot when playing Firefight.

Now I don't know what to do. I need an iPod that can hold all of my media (just my music alone is over 100 GB) so I can bring it with me wherever I go. (I hate having to choose a portion of my music instead of just grabbing it all.) But the MacRumors Buyer's Guide says not to buy - update soon. So is Apple going to kill it or release a new version? If I wait, I might miss out on getting one. But if I get one now, I might miss out on a better model. Ugh.
Wait.
If they release a new model, get it. If they don't release a new model, buy the current one at a small discount.
Win Win situation.

It would have been good to see Master Chief...
Master Chief is in the game. You just have to know where to look ;)

The money they are talking about doesn't really go to the Beatles, since the Beatles were bad financial managers when they were together, they get very little of this money. They all made their fortunes after the brake up...;)
Not true at all.
There are several sources of income:
1. Writers royalties - goes to the original songwriter (50/50 between Macca and Yoko, or else Harrison or Starr)
2. Publishing royalties - goes to Sony and Michael Jackson (owners of the Northern Songs catalog)
3. Likeness royalties (e.g. The Beatles logo and images of the band) - goes to Apple Corps (owned 25% each by Macca/Yoko/Olivia Harrison/Ringo)
There also might be money going to EMI, who own the original recordings.
The Beatles stand to make HUGE money from this.

Apple phone support seems to have entirely melted down. Hitting the battery recall options only tells you they've discontinued phone support and that you should use the "chat" option on the apple support webpage (which seems to be invisible). Trying to go through iBook support just manages to get me disconnected after a variety of error messages from the phone system

Why? Samsung has manufactured their products in Korea. Their employees get more pay and benefits than average Americans. iPhone could be $615 vs $599 but I can pay a little more for iPhone assembled In USA.
Samsung may manufacture their products in Korea, but that doesn't mean every component for a phone, for example, is built in Korea. Korea may be the place for the phone to be put together, but its LCD, battery, etc might be built elsewhere and imported into Korea. For Korea (and I'm not entirely sure), the
country might have laxed policies on imports and whatnot making final production cheaper than it needs to be, making the product cheaper to sell, and higher margins of profit --> pay better wages, etc.
For America, that may not be the case. Too many laws and regulations for everything made by our self-interested Congress members.
Oh, I hope everything you buy is not made abroad. Please, only buy the more expensive product to ensure you aren't buying a non-made U.S product (including its components) =).

Classic ain't going anywhere until they have product that could replace it. Right now there is nothing in the lineup that is close.
Where have I heard that one before? (http://www.macrumors.com/2010/11/05/apple-discontinues-xserve-only-available-until-january-31st/)

Apple needs to pull its head out on this one.
Flash eats battery! Ok, and? So does fieldrunners. Guess what? I can decide if I want to spend the power playing it!
Flash is full of archaic crap. Well dang. The web is full of archaic crap. Including a lot of flash. But it's still the web, and I still need to access it.
Flash isn't necessary, you can use Java, Wookie, etc... whatever. Ok, sure, I'll just write every website I need to visit to find my travel reservations and itinerary, and have them rewrite their page in a new format.
This stupid tug of war leaves the end users in the lurch. Adobe, clean up flash, Apple, encourage them and accept that it ain't gonna be perfect.
I couldn't agree more!:)

I bet those four people who bought a Zune are going to be pissed! :eek:
Yes, like *this* will push them over the edge. They were doing fine with their clunky rubber-buggy brown players with four-way jog wheels, no PFS support, and installation failures, but when the Beatles aren't available, god will they suffer! :D
I could care less about the Beatles, but if this means the whole "Apple" issue is amicably and finally resolved, then I think it's outstanding. :)

Haha, so can we now bill our client the monthly price if they need work done in Illustrator, just like we would bill them for the fonts or anything else?
I started using Photoshop at version 5.5 when I was about 12. So I was kind of confused when I just saw this pop up in my Twitter feed. I had a flashback! Crazy how we have come this far. This new model sounds interesting, but will it beat the people who pirate software? Unlikely.
Now time to dive-in and see what these changes are...
Did anyone see this coming?? Feels almost like a late April Fool's joke.
They've had a subscription version in their EDU lineup for a while now - that's not the surprise.

iPad 3 - iPad 3D
I could really see that, with the iPhone 3G (it was actually the 3rd phone) and had 3G.
Nah, the iPhone 3G was the second iPhone. The iPhone 3GS was the third.

Well said. I have to agree with you.
Most friends and relatives bring up the clock speed and price. But when they see how the machine looks on my desk, when they step up to OS X and take it for a spin, they see why I could take a speed "loss" for all the luxury that Apple brings to the user experience.
Now, a lot of us rumor-heads are focused on bleeding-edge. And it kinda burns us that Intel/Athlon chips are closing in on 3GHz and we've just broken 1 gig. But we (rumor-heads) are the few, and PC marketing no longer seems to focus on speed. And I believe that Apple is slowly turing more heads out there.
