Draggable tabs is really good news. I like the way things are being gradually improved too. I think Leopard could be a pretty polished OS when we see it.

Dang, Federighi has large shoes to fill. His Lion demo was so-so. Serlet has been on the Mac OS X team since day one if I remember right, and has always seemed to understand where it needed to go next.
I wonder if the departure has anything to do with Mac OS X transitioning away from a traditional desktop OS towards a more touch-centric, "no-fuss" one. Would be interested in Serlet's opinion on this.
+1
It seems like Serlet is more of an independent worker who *thinks different* where as Craig is a hardworker but would just "follow." Not making a cheap shot, they're both really good at what they do, just an (maybe wrong) assumption of mine.
In any case, sad to see Serlet go.

If Adobe provides comprehensive .psd support, I can see this being useful as a companion to Photoshop. It obviously isn't intended to "be" Photoshop.
Let's say you got a meeting with a client who wants to see your work. Photoshop is pretty heavy handed and can get in the way if you need to demo something. But on an iPad.... a client could say "what would it look like if our logo was down there..." or that "type was a shade darker" or whatever and you can prototype on it. So when you get back to your underground design lair the change already comes across just by opening the original .psd.

Just updated the software on my 3G, but am looking forward to seeing what it is like on the new hardware. Sounds Really Good so far...

Top left corner of GPU looks burnt to me. Maybe it's bad picture quality, but if it's burnt really (what makes it DOA), it may explain why thermal paste is baked on.
yeah it is baked and burnt but seller say its tested as working

That's why we use style tags to set a default font (yes, even in text areas) or fixed margins. If the W3 gives us the tools, then why should the browser render them void? That just makes no sense.
Safari is implementing a CSS3 feature with resizeable text areas. Apart from that, if your site design relies on fixed font sizes and text area sizes, they'll just break when the user Command-+/-'s the page. It will only break your site design if your site design is badly designed in the first place.
If you're worried about text areas overflowing other page elements then you can still use max-width and max-height to restrict growth and/or the overflow attribute so that scroll bars get introduced.
As one person pointed out in this thread, see the two arrows up ad down on the first line of the toolbar in this very textarea you type in to. It's very useful with long posts. That's why expandable text areas are a good idea.
It's actually not hard to do either. Look at http://www.aegisdesign.co.uk/examples/textarea/textexample.html and view the source for a simple example.
I'd disagree that designers should be making text areas 100% wide though. I've a 2560 wide screen. That'd be silly. Letting users on the other hand size it themselves and giving designers the tools to accommodate resizing is the way to go.
That's the most ridiculous statement I've read in this thread so far - and there are quite a few.
It's called the 'semantic web'. You may want to look it up. Decent web designers have been designing this way for some time where they can and the W3 want everyone to go this way.
The problem is of course with any of these new W3 features is that Microsoft have barely reached the basics in the CSS 2.1 standard yet in IE7. The chances of them supporting CSS3 anytime soon are slim. That means we'll still as designers have to support the older standards and only enlightened Firefox/Safari based designers will add on CSS3 based features should they prove compatible with IE7 and even IE6.

Guess the world will just have to look down on us then. The US actually has a pair of balls, and we do what we need to do,
Torturing people isn't big and clever, and it doesn't show balls. It's pathetic and cowardly.
unlike Europe who's militaries are a joke ... but don't forget who's going to be there protecting your asses when you get into a war with an arab country
Really?! The UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain combined (I'm guessing Europe's most capable armed forces) total around the same number of active personnel as the US. Name one arab country capable of invading Europe or the US. Maybe you just like to pretend the US is the guardian of Europe, but there is no country both willing and able to invade.
Shooting bin laden while he was unarmed?? Seriously?? Who gives a crap? That's like being against shooting hitler while he was unarmed.
I'd be against shooting Hitler because he was unarmed.

One of the patents:
Mobile telephone capable of displaying world time and method for controlling the same
An apparatus and method for calculating and displaying local time for a plurality of cities in the world. The apparatus includes a memory for storing Greenwich mean time (GMT) information for each of the plurality of cities. The apparatus sets a reference time and counts the time that elapses from when the reference time is set. The apparatus calculates a local time of a city selected by a user, which is based on a difference between the GMT of the selected city and the GMT of a present location of the apparatus, the reference time and the counted elapsed time. The reference time may be either a time set by the user or a system time acquired from a signal generated from a remote system.
How can companies get patents for such trivial algorithms???
Just FYI I bolded out the most specific part. You do realize that there are still phones not capable of setting the time remotely? I still use an old Nokia phone that has no automatic time syncing.
Either you really think it's a trivial implementation to acquire a time-signal over the cell network or you just haven't grasped the concept of the patent.
And btw: How can a company hold a patent for a swipe gesture to unlock the screen? How is that more sophisticated.

So what we have here is a little wishlist:
-Option for map storage on local machine, all or just a user-specified area even temporarily
-Live Turn By Turn directions w/ optional audio interactivity
-High contrast color option
-Eliminate highways & toll roads options
-Bike & foot paths
-Bus routes
-Weather overlay
-Street View Fly thru previews
-View options, with intelligent default zoom levels & levels of detail:
---Zoom to fit where you are and your destination with total trip info, and zoom in live as the two points get closer together
---Zoom to fit where you are and where your next turn or two is going to be, and zoom in live as the two points get closer together
---Flexible Scaling option, w roads using either a dynamic graphical scale or breaklines to condense your map into a smaller, clearer image for easy reference...
-An advancable picture-in-picture of your next few turns that doesn't get in the way of your present view showing your current position & next turn...
...
But they'll probably just add restaurant & hotel data overlays or something.

i buy the fact that professional photographers who do sports, news, fashion photography have limited use for the ipad for anything beyond photo previews. as a comic book artist who has been playing with the ipad for a while now i do use it a lot for sketches. it's not quite there as a "do final inkings and color but it is very useful.
if it goes to doubled screen resolution, which all the rumors says it will, that would be huge help.
if it would use pressure sensitivity another big jump. i saw that a small company has developed a way to do this on a current ipad so it only works with a stylus and not skin. apple, with all it's cash on hand, should buy this company and put this in it's next iOS.
more storage and an sd card slot! jump to 128gb onboard and a card slot.
a better onboard camera. not for pros, but for artist who see something or someone they want to use in a drawing van get a good quick shot of it.
i do believe the "pros" are missing the point here though. photoshop can be very useful to a lot of people right now. band flyers, lost and found, invitations, other things like that. you don't always have access or want to carry the 15 pound camera bag, the 5 pound laptop and the wacom tablet.
i see the ipad as an ideas device. it's super convenient to carry, has a camera so you can take preview photos, like the space where an event will take place, you can write professionally on it, final draft is on the way!! you can sketch, do storyboards, send and receive emails, play games.
bottom line, for everything it does there is another device or group of devices that will always do it better. but there is no one device that does everything it does. and it does a lot of things pretty darn good!!

Same as before:
• For large images use [tIMG] rather than [IMG]
• Use attachments when necessary so images don't disappear when they are removed from their source
• When possible, include links to the full-sized original so others can download them. If you don't want to share, state that in your posts so others don't continue to ask for links.
• When quoting a post with images, leave the image out, or make sure you [tIMG] to reduce clutter.

How hard is it to uncheck these two boxes?
http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/6509/onek.png
And other publications, like The Economist, already come with the equivalent boxes unchecked by default.
In general: you sometimes don't get that option in a very straight forward way - and they still might sell your address (maybe not FT, but others)
So if you opt out: WHY do they still need your full name, address, email, .... etc information. If I tell them I don't want any of their advertisement or from their partners than I don't. I can see that they ask for the zip code or similar information to see in which areas they do good or not - but they should not get my full address, email or phone number.
