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???
This surely has been covered by other manufacturers years before Samsung ever started making devices? What about the Newton? Seems a bit of a weak claim and surprising that they would have been granted a patent.

Anyone lining-up at either At&t or Apple at the Gardens Mall. I spoke with At&T today at the Mall and they said they are opening at 8AM on July 11th, even though the Mall doesn't officially open till 10AM.

Here the two I've added to my rotation in August. I have a total of five that rotate every minute; the other three can be found in the July desktop thread.

Just looking for your thoughts and ideas on advertising/promoting/marketing a website. I am looking for the most effective ways to promote at a low price. This can be online or offline? What are your favorite online ways? offline ways?

Thank you for this update. My gf is running the NYC marathon on Sunday and was hoping to get one of these before we left for NY. Looks like we will be able to do that now between the Apple Stores AND the retailers having them.
That is awesome - running the NYC marathon!!! The shuffle will serve her well! And I know that when I run with music, my pace is faster! Wish her a good run from all of us!!! :D

I'm certain TJ MAXX ran this by their legal team...
If they are willing to sell the product at a $100 loss, that's their choice. You may not have a warranty, etc, because they aren't "authorized" by Apple as a price-controlled reseller, but that doesn't mean it's illegal for them to sell it.
I sold my iPad on craigslist at a loss. I'm not authorized to do that and Steve doesn't care.

I recently designed publicity for the play, HARVEY. Many might be aware of the movie of the same name starring Jimmy Stewart. The play is about an eccentric guy who starts seeing this 6-foot White Rabbit that wears human clothing. Is he crazy or does he really have a new best friend?
The actual poster is here (http://www.gowan.us/harvey). It was put together with eight different source photos.

I was goin to buy a powerbook Ti last April, but
I was really disapointed b/c their was an ATI 7500 card which will age fast. If the next edition of powerbooks ever come out will there be a Geforce 4 Mobile?

Sorry if this has already been mentioned somewhere (I couldn't find it), but...
...is there a date for when we can expect this change to .Mac's webmail?
Also, I can understand why Apple previewed iTV -- but why the preview for something like this? Will we be seeing more previews from them? Doesn't seem like their style. Not that I'm complaining... ;)

Woah, you are on fire today. You've churned out two awesome 'tars.
Being a little nit-picky, I reckon this'd be even cooler if you slowed it down a little. :)

Bisexuality was openly accepted. You do realize thatEurope's population is expected to fall catastrophically due to a low birth rate
And that concerns you how??
Have sex with someone of the opposite gender isn't exactly a homosexual thing, in-vitro fertilisation is immoral and the government can opt not to allow homosexuals adoption privilege.
Wow.
ACT UP made some people glad for AIDS, "God's curse on sodomites". Treating people like crap doesn't exactly improve relations
Double wow, without a disclaimer from you.
I do believe your time here would be better spent somewhere else.
Please.

I have a refurbished iPhone 4, 32 GB, I bought from at&t. It is in great shape, and was likely a return with in the 30 day window. I found out that if you buy a refurbished phone from Apple, the warranty resets to when you buy it, but if you buy it from at&t is is based of the original date of sale.
