A crap camera will never take a great picture, despite the hands it is in. It might take something vaguely enigmatic on some level, but with bad lens, inability to capture colors, or faulty mechanics/electronic, it will be nothing more than a crippling piece of equipment.
A good photographer can frame, layer, focus the subject, and compose well. Yes, you don't need a "good" camera for those qualities, but you need a well-creafted camera to back up and improve on the photographer's skills.
Sorry to say, but your are mistaken. People have been taking phenomenal photos without the cameras sold today. Cameras of yesterday were not as accurate nor precise as they are today, yet incredible photos have been taken for quite some time. How is that?

The Iphone 4 camera takes amazing shots right now. If this is actually an improvement, then it would rock.
But since these boards screamed at all of us non camera experts last time for thinking that mega pixels mean a better picture, I will wait to hear about the quality.

Come on guys, all of you saying the Vista is for $99, remember... that is the "upgrade" not the full install. where as osx is a complete full install. plus vista is suppose to be coming in 6 different version, i read something about that at here (http://www.theinquirer.net).

We just purchased CS5 last week, at the massively over-inflated UK price.
Now they want us to pay them some more for a service pack.
Thanks a lot Adobe.
Edit:
OK I take it back... well partially... the UK prices are still a disgrace.
From Adobe's site:
"You might be eligible for a complimentary upgrade if you recently bought your software product (full or upgrade)."

After applying the update, it seems like it's running cooler. I'm getting 53-54C now, when normally it's 58-59.
I got my mb the moment the were selling them in cincinnati and i've had one problem. It discolors, but i can almost get over that. I have never had the over heating issue, my computer stays around 35c and 40c. The new update scared the crap out of me when the fans went into full blast. they've never done that ever! now my battery seems to not last long at all. this could be an issue in the future... Wear and tair on the battery from recharging it all the time. I used to be able to use my mb all day, low screen brightness, not blue tooth, no wifi, no problem. Now i cant even go to work without my charger. Really sad. I really want to save up for a mbp and put this energy beast on ebay.

How come it is extremely imporbable and unlikely?
They presented there script against a mac because the mac strives on the claim that they are the safest pc out there.
They said in there interview they targeted the mac because they hate the commercials.
Explain how that makes there presentation poor.
Simply put, by presenting the hack with a MacBook they made it appear as though the MacBook had a fatal flaw that was inherent to the system and they were poor at presenting this flaw as a problem with a particular third-party wireless card.
The addition of their complaining about the commercial made they appear as though they had a vendetta and a bias which security researchers should avoid. The flaw should have been presented with a multitude of systems, including the Mac, to show how the flaw affected Windows and the Mac, and they should have been more clear about the addition of a third-party USB wireless device as well as their tweaking of OSX's settings.
They went for a flashy presentation and got fried by it.

The edu price for 2gb is an additional 112, how far off consumer prices is that (I know a gig for my lappy will set me back 90 but I'm not up on prices for other people's memory).
Don't forget that 120GB HD. It is a moot point though, the HD is easily replaced in the MB.

BS. 3G was fully matured at the time of release of the first Iphone. It had been commercially adopted for over 5 years at that point in time.
And this is one of the big reasons why I'm doubting this rumor about LTE.
The technology on the carrier end of things is still nascent, at best. I don't think Apple would invest lots of time and money to launch technology that would be barely functional upon launch.
I had always assumed that the 2012 iteration of the iPhone would be the very first to have LTE because that would give both the carriers and Apple enough time to work out the kinks.
I think it's vastly more probable that bloggers are becoming antsy about the lack of verifiable iPhone rumors compared to this time last year. Apple has probably tightened up their leaks and speculators are left on the sidelines throwing out inconsistent theories.
I'm still betting that we see a modest bump the iPhone 4's specs, the white version, and increased storage capacity and this will be the iPhone 5.

Very curious as to how you get all these cups. I keep thinking in my head that there is no way you are taking them out of the garbage, so my next thought is do you work at a coffee house?
I think it's a neat idea. Interested to see more.

I just woke up from a nap and have at least a DOZEN e-mails from PC-owning friends and famailies saying stuff like "What's up with your boys?!?!?!"
I kindly link them to the 4.1 million Dell's being recalled. :D
Can someone link whatever is the VALID page for this?
Lots of conflicting information around...

Lol... 8 mp is a bad idea in a lens that size... even more people fall to the marketing ploys. :rolleyes:
As long as its the same quality as the 5mp iphone 4... it will be fine but otherwise i am disappointed in apple.

I think Mac sales are directly tied to the Halo affect of the iOS devices. The more they sell there, the more people open up to Mac as an alternative. With Lion having more iOS like interfaces, it will make it even more natural for new customers.
Anecdotal evidence to support your theory...? Me.
Started with an iPod Touch...which led to an iPhone 3GS (Now an iPhone 4)...which led to an iPad...which led to a base model 13" Macbook Pro.
Oh, rinse and repeat for the Mrs. except replace her laptop with an i7 15" Macbook Pro.
And the kid went from an iPod Touch to an iPhone.
All that to say...the Halo affect is in full force at the Ironworker compound! :D We are pretty much an Apple household now.
The iOS like interfaces coming up in Lion helped push us to the MBP's, though I had decided more than a year ago that my next computer was going to be a Mac. And having almost two years of 'experience' with Apple's touch interfaces has made the MBP's trackpad a breeze to get used to. I don't even use a mouse anymore!

I was going to say that 3D movies seem like a temporary fad to me and this really isn't necessary. But I guess there are more uses for this than simply movies. For instance rotating molecular models in 3D would be nice.

Ever since the iPhone came out Apple has been trying to get Adobe to write a more streamlined mobile flash player. one that:
1) won't crash and possibly make the phone reboot
2) won't drain the battery too much
3) won't tax the processor so much that it creates a heat problem
4) is secure enough to keep malicious code from running on your phone.
For whatever reason Adobe has been unable or unwilling to do this. So, Yes Apple has created restrictions, but very necessary ones. Anything less would be bad for the end user and for Apple's reputation.
I paid for my iPhone, not apple.... How about apple let me make the choice if I want flash to run on my phone or not.

If Boot Camp is supposed to be one of the biggest new features, where is identification of it on the poster?
I see on the Far Left Top corner 'Universal' but not boot camp. I finf this strange.
Does that Universal Logo mean more then just PowerPC+MacIntel? Maybe Mac+PC? 'virtualization'?
The banner is current products (other than the Tiger disc) and is being waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy over analysed.
