This would be stealing, as my contract obliges me to continue paying for the cost of the hardware, which really isn't paid for, when I first get the phone. I agree with the others however, that AT&T should unlock the phone, once the contract is up, or that Apple should offer an unlocked phone, albeit at a higher price. I am thinking of expat pilots who live in the UAE flying for an international carrier for 20 days and then get to come back stateside for 10. They really need a solution like that. The next thing that AT&T should do, then, is have a different pricing structure for those with legitimately unlocked phones. After all, that phone didn't cost AT&T a dime.
In what way could you possibly define this as stealing? As you say, your contract is what obligates you to continue paying. Having an unlocked iPhone doesn't magically make your contract disappear. You still have to keep paying AT&T. It does allow you to use your personal property to do business with another carrier, if you choose, but you will still be paying AT&T. The fact that the lock is only in place to keep you from doing business, using your personal property, with another carrier, would be called restraint of trade in any other industry and would itself be illegal. Why is it legal in the wireless industry?

I only have 229 posts... :(
Also I'm not exactly looking to sell... I just wanted to gauge what it could sell for... it's under consideration right now though amongst a few things I want to sell.
I wasn't intending on offering to sell it on Macrumors in any way though.
I can't even see the Marketplace forum... where the heck is it?

Hey guys,
I recently moved to the UK from NYC, so no more US TV for me :(
Maybe one of you can let me access their VPN from my iPad? Will pay you $50/mo. to help offset your cable bill. Thanks!
aristo - sent you email
Coleman - don't go crazy on 1.0 apk. CV can easily force you to upgrade by disabling access to their service via older software. I'm sure its easy for them to do it.
Even if you remove DRM I don't think u will be able to install it on Ipad2. In order to install it you need appsync running

GoDaddy always seems to do something controversial/ over the top for their Super Bowl spot. Guess whatever it is, it's worth $3 million. :p

My MBA is fine, and that certainly doesn't look right. It's still under warranty, so I'd take it into a store or contact customer services
I bought this BTO MacBook Air online and I'm using it everyday. I think it will take time for time replace the keyboard to me. Another thing is... This baby don't have a removable hard drive, it will give me a hard time for transfering files... :(

I've been following 256gb SSD prices for a while, and I've seen hardly any movement.
Also, I know shortly before the end of there was a lot of chatter about Intel's entry into the market and how prices would soon go down.
From what I've seen, none of that has materialized.
Does anyone have any ideas or insights about this? I'm personally only concerned w/ drives around 220gb and up.
Of course, my motivation to write this is that I'm dying to buy one but have been trying to hold out... :) Can't hold on much longer...
thanks much

2)The nonsense you speak of is why Amazon is killing the iPad as an e-reader. Don't believe me? Go read the tens of thousands of comments about how hard it is to read a book (not a website....not an email...a book) on an iPad.
I know, right? And my telephone makes calls much easier than my iPad.
As for reading on the iPad, I love it. I didn't read a book on my iPad for the first 6 months I owned it. Now I don't ever want to pick up a real book again.

I still can't believe you lot in the USA have gone for yet another incompatible-with-the-rest-of-the-world frequency for your 3G network meaning that anyone coming to the USA won't be able to use your 3G network and your 3G iPhones will be about as useful as a one legged dog outside the USA.
It's interesting that the T-Mobile guy thinks that the prime use for 3G in the USA will be email and other user generated content and not music though. Personally the last thing I want is content rich email on my mobile phone.
Considering that T-Mobile is part of Deutsche Telekomm I'm not sure why they're doing it that way. Sprint, on the other hand, is using CDMA, so it's broadly incompatible anyway.
While I've looked at the mobile video on my phone, without the ear buds, it's unpleasant and even with them, it's rather not so useful unless you're riding in the back seat of a car bored to death.

also curious what cf card readers are you guys using ?? i need to pick one up and i dont really feel like spending 100+ for a firewire one

for me it still loads Apple front web page, but it does stay iphone.org
Not sure if it did it before, but that is a fairly normal thing. There would be no reason to change it before hand if something was in the near future. These things can be changed on the fly. Probably meaningless.

Since you are also advertising video... I hope that isn�t too close to Artisan, the film company :p
Artisan Entertainment (http://www.artisanent.com)
There was that concern in the beginning, but since most of the video work that we so is small budget (mostly wedding videos) we don't worry about that too much. :D But since we have grown a bit, we have modified our name, hence the abbreviation asi (http://www.artisanstudiosinc.com) now. :)

Well, I have to use paired RAM, right? That's my only option...
The next question: Is there a difference performance-wise, between adding, say, 2 x 4GB or 4 x 2 GB? As I understand it, tri-channel only applies to the later Mac Pros...

Check out http://www.iskin.com they have just released new wild iSkins that now come with a cover for the iPod wheel. Thats awesome, cause lots of people I know have an awesome iSkin that protects great, but the wheel is all scratched up. So this is pretty sweet!

This is awesome news, again it's brilliant because it states the iPhone 5 will be the same size as the iPhone 4, when I was at The Gadget Show Live on Friday I looked at all the new phones, the Galaxy S 2, the new Motorola and LG's the Xperia Play and Arc, the Nokia E7 (beautiful industrial design BTW) and I compared them all to my iPhone 4 and they were all MASSIVE and I mean MASSIVE next to the iPhone. And as for Acer's 4.8" beast........ I saw that too and thought it was a PDA or mini computer, not a smart phone!! :eek::eek:
I believe Galaxy S 2 is actually lighter than iPhone 4 (and thinner too). So, unless pocket size is an issue, what's there to worry about?

Tried searching but can't find a solution. I have a XP bootcamp partition and recently installed a trial version of Parallels. Now upon startup if I hold ctrl then I get an option to boot from the XP partition. When I select it then the screen goes black and it will not boot. I have no problem booting to OSX and running apps from the XP partition with Parallels.
Any suggestions?

Yeah, it looks nice but I'm a bit bored of the genre now. I loved Air Combat on the PS1 but I tried to get back into it with the newer games and eh, looks like I'm not missing out on much.
Joint Assault on the PSP looked brilliant and reminded me a lot of Peace Walker (probably my fave game of 2010) but it just wasn't fun to play.

What program should I use to try to get this to work with windows 7?
I'm also wondering what to put instead of optimum.net if I'm on Time Warner.
What router do you have? Some routers have built in VPN server support. If not, you can try EasyVPN for windows. I found a link here:
http://www.comodo.com/home/email-security/vpn-access.php
To find the Time warner search domain name go to your router's setup page. It should have a summary page and tell you your public IP address and also the search domain. If you can't find it, PM me, I'll help you out.

There is no need to use a "Standard" account (what you call "user"), running the Mac as an admin is just fine. Many do this and experience no problems. I have run Mac OS X for seven years via admin accounts and have had not any problems with that.
If something needs access to system critical files or folders, it will ask for your admin password anyway.
