I'm very happy that Apple has finally muzzled their suppliers.
These "sources" should not be revealing parts, and dates, and production info. Given the identical circumstances that occurred prior to the iPad 2 launch, I'd say it's quite obvious that Apple has finally reigned in the leaks.
It was getting very embarrassing that super-secret Apple with their Gestapo tactics, was unabe to keep 95% of the details of new products a secret, because some shmuck in some factory has Internet access.

No surprises here, the majority of people are waiting for the next iPhone.
Or already gave up on waiting and switched to AT&T.

I'm getting more and more curious how iOS 5 will turn out. I dunno if these enhancements will make it in time for summer, but I'm imagining centralized voice control for doing everyday tasks, a la Siri.
"Is it going to rain tonight?"
"How is traffic? Find another route"
"Book me a table for 2 at 7 tonight"
"What movies are showing tonight?"
These sorts of things should be accessible, and actionable, from the Voice Control interface. Apple did just add 20 new spoken languages to OS X :rolleyes: Perhaps it will be accessible as an API to third party developers. This would really change the way I use my phone, especially while on the road.

I can't give blood for a while due to some medication I'm on. Sucks because I used to give all the time. Can't wait to get back out there!!
On a side note, I distinctly remember a PostSecret from a few years back that said "Red Cross - FYI I still donate" and the picture was of 2 men kissing. I don't think it should be a screening question, but if you are gay and know that you're "normal" and safe when it comes to sex, what are the chances you get busted for lying??

I saw this news on TechCrunch yesterday, and it just confirms the obvious.
It is always so ridiculous how people try to manipulate the numbers to always give android a lead, which NEVER makes any sense. As nobody benefits from the combined platform of Android except google and even then it is questionable how much real benefit it is to them.
The individual makers get no benefit from 20 other companies also making android devices, in fact it hurts them.
The extensive installed IOS userbase is important, as is the ability to seemlessly have an IOS that extends multiple devices. Android will never do that in any competitive way due to fragmentation. Apple has a massive advantage there. A single company with multiple products tied into a single ecosystem. Android fails streets behind there.
Apple has the best selling smartphone, the best selling tablet, the best selling mp3 player/game device. They individually dominate in every segment, and combined dominate in OS overall for mobile/portable devices.

I am looking for 2 iPod 4 Docks that will allow me to connect my kids new ipods to their Tv sets really easy. I am not sure something even exists but I would like to load up their iPods with Netflix and video downloads instead of DVD players and such in the bedrooms.
I would prefer something with a remote if possible. Does anyone know of anything like this?
Thanks in advance

There are multiple angles to the situation. He is 18 and even if he wasn't - he's still his own person and does make his own decisions. Still, you do have influence over his life since you pay the bills and provide for him. This doesn't give you the right to harass him but I think it is fair to set rules for what time you want him home and if he can sleep over somewhere else. I wouldn't push the "you can't have sex" thing because he's going to do what he wants, but if you do not approve tell him you don't approve of teenagers having sex for whatever your reasons you may have. Also explain that he can (and will) make his own decisions and that you will be respectful of that. He will have to be responsible for those choices. Encourage him to have safe sex and give the usual advice. I don't think you need to put the condoms in his hands though.
When I was 19, I was in college and my gf lived about four hours away, during the summer we'd visit each other for weekends and such and we had to stay at each other's parents' house out of necessity. Neither of our parents allowed us to sleep in the same room. We weren't having intercourse anyway, but we were intimate during these visits and if we had wanted to we would have had intercourse - where there's a will, there's a way! You can't stop that but I think it is fair to set the "rules of your home" and if he doens't follow them there are consequences: paying rent, pulling his share, etc. Many on this board find this to be unreasonable, but I don't - it's your home. I don't think you need to butt heads on this topic. If you talk about it like reasonable adults I'm sure you can come to a reasonable compromise that you're both comfortable with. Just be open-minded, honest and willing to concede on some points if he makes valid arguments. Talk to him without coming off as judgmental or controlling - it sounds like he is reaching out for your approval/guidance to some extent.
Don't make your love conditional, but your financial support and what you will tolerate in your home is conditional. My step-sister (22-years old) needed a place to stay when starting work after college and so she crashed with me. It was only for about two months. She didn't pay any rent and she was just sleeping on my couch. I told her I didn't want her having sex with guys in my livingroom. It's my home and I didn't want to walk in on that or hear it going on in my small condo - it would have been weird. She had guys over, caught them making out... fine. I didn't care what she did, she stayed over at guy's places which was fine by me. We both we're fine with our arrangement, probably because we talked it over like adults. I didn't want to control her life at all, I just didn't want MY home to feel uncomfortable for me. I guess that's a completely different situation, but it illustrates my point.
Don't try to stop the sex, becuase you can't. Don't be an ass about it becuase you'll only push him away. Tell him it is his choice to have sex but that since you don't approve of it and you provide for him that you're not going to set "house rules" that encourage it or make it easy. Do be open, honest and support him no matter what he chooses to do. This isn't something worth losing a very valuable relationship over.

Apple shouldn't be able to do anything.
Apple cannot do anything directly against TJ Maxx as long as they make no false claims such as being an approved Apple seller, or stating false claims about the product and warranty. At most, put them on a banned list and make not selling to TJ Maxx part of their "Approved Reseller" conditions.
The people who sold to TJ Maxx could be in trouble, however.
Now, if Apple's warranty includes a line about it must be bought from an approved seller, etc, they might be able null the warranty on anyone who's iPad is found to be from TJ Maxx, but that depends in part on the state, and if the warranty has such a line.

All this stuff about "living under mum and dad's roof" is all well and good but it's not gonna work.
The guy is 18 and therefore you have no say in it. If you want to show him you trust him, make sure he is having safe sex (ask him "are you using a condom" - don't beat around the bush, it's sex, it's not anything to be ashamed of) and send him on his merry way.
It's time to let him make his own mistakes and decisions and the best thing you can do is to love and support him through it all. I was a good teenager, same sort of thing as your son - good grades (not that these mean you're a good person), nice friends, stable ideals but I found the sudden leap into adulthood one of the hardest things to do because I was suddenly in charge of my own life. My parents - though they vehemently opposed some of my decisions - supported me through them no matter what and that helped me to realise for myself my own interpretations of right and wrong and allowed me to grow as a person.
So don't treat him any differently, just make sure he knows the facts and is not doing anything unsafe, and let him go. There's no reason you can''t voice your disapproval but make sure he knows that this is his call and that you love him no matter what.

So because you don't like Financial Times it's okay for everyone that they are holding out iPad subscriptions. This is exactly what's wrong with you Apple fanboys.
You should be penalizing Apple for allowing this to happen. but instead you jump for joy.
Why? Because Apple does not support publisher's selling your personal information to third parties. Something FT and many others do not even allow you to opt out of? You are seriously coming out in favor of this very consumer unfriendly practice?
Are you also going to criticize Apple for asking their suppliers not to use child labor?
