"You guys are hysterical..."
our guess, guys (and a very smart sexy lady) who have a weekly "read the post and guess the poster's bent" voted unanimously that some people really have little or nothing to do in their lives, way too much time on their hands, and possible use posts as their only way to interact with other beings, even if it's online.
not so far off if you read past posts, and try to figure out why somebody takes time, daily, to go to a site that has nothing to do with their personal interests but just to try to throw a stink bomb in somebody else's chats. how much of a life can that person really have?
our female voter said that's not a kind thing to say, as this MAY be their only way to be recognized in life....................:(

This is my first post. It takes a lot for me to stop being a lurker, but the idea that any user can resize a textarea on a site I design, dynamically redrawing the page, is among the dumbest ideas I've ever heard. This will break valid page layouts in new and unheard of ways. Designers make form elements a size and shape for a reason.
I look forward to finding a way using JavaScript to disable that feature the day that browser is released.
Wow, you must really freak out about cascading style sheets too. Bit of a control freak?
Look: the page design is for the benefit of the USER, not the designer. If the page looks like crap if a text area is resized larger than you expected, what's going to happen when a new browser comes out that uses a larger default font in the text area, or adds additional margin padding, etc? If that will make it look like crap, then that's your problem, not the user's!
The problem with text entry boxes in (so far as I can tell) every single browser out today, is that they are fixed width. I can have a nice big 30" monitor and want to be able to type a paragraph about this size in a single friggin' line of text across the whole monitor (more common is trying to convey source code in a text window; wrapping really sucks for source code). But, I can't, because the text box is default sized so that it fits without scrolling on my mother in law's 10-year-old 15" CRT set at 640x480. So, it's a little postage-stamp square on my 30" cinema.
The solution to date is that the user, if they're smart enough, opens up TextEdit (or Notepad), edits their text however they want, then cut/paste into the anemically-sized text box on the browser. The ability to skip the middle-app simplifies things tremendously.
One design suggestion (if Apple's listening): also provide some kind of a widget to "snap" the text box back to it's original size.

Or they did a lot of stuff with it already, just not showing it yet. Since the current release of FCP does not use QTX, they don't need to release the updated API before the next gen FCP. I really doubt Apple just shelved the whole QTX after doing a rewrite for SL, they must have been iterating it since then.
It's a bit long, but this is a good read about the state of FCP by Philip Hodgetts (http://www.philiphodgetts.com/2010/09/what-should-apple-do-with-final-cut-pro/):
There has been no apparent development of the QTKit framework for at least two years. What has been happening, as I posted in Introducing AV Foundation and the future of QuickTime, is a lot of work has been completed for media frameworks for iOS. AV Foundation in four years has 56 Classes and 460 methods.
That AV Foundation is to replace QTKit and the C APIs is a good thing because my reading of the Framework, Classes and Methods is that an AV Foundation based QuickTime would be able to support native media, something the current version cannot do. (Everything pretty much needs to be wrapped in a .MOV container.)
And about Premiere being better than FCP, I'm not an expert on this but aren't the Apple ProRes codecs the main reason people go with FCP? And Premiere does not offer anything close in terms of codecs.
A very big reason people go w/FCP is because it can do a lot for very little money. If it was priced more in line with Avid Media Composer or Avid Adrenaline I'll bet dollars to doughnuts it wouldn't have become as popular. Apple's typical method of operation when it comes to the ProApps is buy existing software, rebrand it and drop the price dramatically. The most recent, and most radical example, is Apple Color. Apple took what was previously a $25,000 color grading application and tossed it into the Final Cut Suite at no extra charge.
ProRes has only be around since FCP 6 and is one of the few additional features that Apple can really hang its hat on. While Premiere doesn't have any first part codecs along the same lines as ProRes it is more flexible and open to third party codecs than FCP is. A very good, and very popular, 3rd party codec is CineForm.

MX-2 Thermal Compound done!
Just watching the temps on iStat. How sad am I?
Most paste can take up to a week or two to take it's full effect.

3-5 years in the future, before either side's claims get to trial, FT, IBJ, and WSJ will be reporting on an out-of-court settlement with undisclosed terms.
This is exactly what will probably happen. Other than that, it's just a big dick-waving contest.

I saw that article about the M5 concept this morning. The new 5er looks much better than the one just replaced, but I'm still very partial to the E39 5 series. I had a 2003 530i and to this day regret getting rid of it.
BMWs are sort of like Mustangs with me. I'm always sort of indifferent to them when new ones are released, but as years go by and they get older, I start to really like them. The E39 M5 is no different. It is in my Top 10 favorite cars of all time, easily. It rides that fine line between sport and luxury so well....

Why don't they just admit it. It's a security patch. Every small patch released in between full digit numbers tend to be security patches. The next real update will be 5.0.

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've got an image which contains multiple layers. The user can set a picture as a layer. However when there isn't a picture available I'd like to have a replacement picture.
I think I got two options:

Cod Black ops for xbox
cod black ops wallpaper 1080p.

I don't read FT. so your point is invalid.
So you enjoy watching them abuse other people, but since it's not you then it's ok?
What kind of a sick attitude is that? You think it's a good thing that they mistreat their readers? Why? Is it just funny to you or something?

Hi,
In iTunes sidebar, there is a folder named Playlists. If I delete one playlist, will it also delete its content in my music library?

I know, or knew, a few people holding off on the white iPhone 4. But people may hold off until the iPhone 5
the white iPhone 4 has to at least be faster or have a better camera or something. It cant just be the same phone from a year ago

Stop with the FUD already. Businesses operating in the EU cannot do this. Just because corporations in the USA can, doesn't mean the rest of the world is the same... :rolleyes:

I tried to search for topics about Apple's commercial banners with no results. Same with Google.
Anyway, I need to write an analysis of an ad. I thought an Apple ad would be inspiring in this case. So, what I need is any apple ad that's been printed or published online. A rather big picture would be cool.
Any help here would be appreciated.

weren't there other rumors regarding an "os x lite" edition earlier in the year?
I think the consensus is that Apple abandoned the idea of building a phone completely from the ground up, which was their original idea. The question is *what* exactly they abandoned. At some level it makes sense for them to use Symbian or some other existing OS in order to get the benefit of 3rd party app availability.
Then again, that rather un-Apple like, since I would think Apple would want to have total control over the interface. Maybe Apple *will* come up with a real-time "OS X Lite" operating system, and the 3rd party apps will have to be Java apps, basically. If Apple makes sure that Java performs well on the iPhone then that would be their best strategy...
