[...] This would just mean us designers would have to spend that much more time envisioning what would happen if a user resized every form element on every page and incorporating it into our layouts. This is why I hope there's a way to disable it outright.
You already have to envision what will happen when a user changes the text size. The web is not print or TV, it's supposed to be flexible and to be controlled by the user, not the designer. Your website should look good wether the user changes the text size, disables plug-ins, disables images or even disables CSS.
Granted, the website won't look exactly the same in each case, but the content and the structure should be visible in all cases if the website is coded properly. That's the power of CSS and structured content.
Using javascript to disable a browser feature (like the useless "disable right-click" one) is working against your viewers. A simple "disable javascript" will also bypass your script.

Looks like I'll have my G2 shuffles tomorrow. Should be better taking that to the gym, the wife is all excited about hers.
Too bad they come with the old-style earbuds, although I don't know if the new ones are really that much better as I've not personally used the newer ones. Oh, well... If I don't like them, I'll swap them out I guess.

Where's the poll option for "only an idiot would buy an iPhone two months before WWDC?"
Ok guys, you took on the "white is for girls only" guy, I get a shot at this one ;)
Here we go:
Two months before WWDC, you say? Are they going to start selling a new iPhone at WWDC? NO. Are they going to at least announce a new iPhone at WWDC? Well, if you read: THIS BLOG - NO.
So, what does WWDC have to do with a new iPhone? Nothing, in our collective knowledge here. You may think something different, but calling me an idiot simply because I don't live inside your brain is... not very smart, to put it mildly. :mad:
:D
Edit: Yep. I'm buying one. My 3G is on it's last legs, I like white better than black, and "5" is 5 or 6 months away at least (and not promising much of an upgrade from 4 either)

My sincere congrats to all of the new Mods
I for one have enjoyed and profited from all of your posts in the past, and look forward to your greater involvement in the Forum. I think each of you will grow in your influence and impact on the site. Each of you has your own strengths in what you offer to the site. My observations are that E is often first on the scene and the quickest to respond, which should help to keep the board clear of unwanted junk. Nermal is always very informative and helpful. I have learned a lot from his posts. bousozoku is very conscientious about the board and its posters. He looks out for all of us and helps to make the site user friendly and a place that we can all feel welcome. WinterMute seems to offer a combination of all of the above, and will compliment the rest of the cast. Others may see things differently, but that has been my personal experience with them. The believe the mods have shown wisdom and foresight in their choices.
For those that are worried about E, I for one feel like the trust placed in him is warranted at this time. While he has a playful side that is sometimes seen as overbearing, his energy and passion for the site is clearly evident. I believe his new position will temper that somewhat, and we will see his zeal and energy directed for the good of the site. If not, I have faith that Arn, Doctor Q and Mr. Anderson will know how to handle anything that arises. But I have every confidence that their trust in E will prove to vindicate their wisdom. For any who would "bait" E now, I think the greater evil is yours.
I'm sure that there are others that were considered, and had much to offer, but for whatever reason (time on the board, "too nice" or whatever) the mods have made their selections. I hope nobody is personally disappointed in not being included. After all, the point of the board is to contribute to the community and enjoy the fellowship. I rarely get to poke my nose in here anymore, and I have to tell you, I miss it greatly.
On a side note, I for one have always enjoyed your 'tars Sun Baked, and don't really understand the criticism of them. Perhaps I've missed some along the way (and yes, I did see the 'milk' tar and thought it was clever). I also enjoy your witty responses. You can usually say in one line what it would have taken me a paragraph... and you say it better.
Anyway, congrats to all, and I hope you take good care of the board. Hopefully one day I'll get to spend more time here again.

There honestly is no need to update the iPhone line EVERY year at this point. iPhone 4 was the biggest jump and I don't see a reason to jump again so soon, especially after Verizon customers JUST recived access to the phone. I can understand updating the models to include 4G, but at this point 4G IMHO is not needed. It's not a mature enough standard to expect iPhone owners to have smooth service with Verizon and AT&Ts 4G networks. I see them both being great next year, but it'd be a forced move on Apples part to update so soon.
I disagree, whether you call it a refresh or all new phone, several things must be addressed by Apple in the current model:
1. replace back glass with metal or carbon fiber enclosure;
2. replace antenna design;
3. use 4" screen, even at same resolution;
4. offer 64gb model.
One even more important change, which I KNOW they won't do, is use a universal radio chip that can support GOS and CDMA networks - no more having to buy a new phone every time you switch carriers - oops, that cuts agains Apple's AND the carriers interest - not much traction there.

1) As people said, it was an "old design" when most people not expect a new iPhone release every summer.
2) They released a 3G iPhone as Verizon is releasing LTE devices. I wouldn't buy any 3G phone today and be locked in for 2 years.
Now add the fact that Verizon customers (myself included) never knew when to expect a verizon iPhone, and sort of gave up waiting. Those points above are not nearly enough reason to do an early upgrade and pay full price for the "older" style iPhone. I'll probably get a Verizon iPhone when I am out of the contract with my Droid X, but that's not till Summer 2012.
I do know a bunch of people that left Verizon for the iPhone that said they will come back, but are not going to pay those astronomical ETFs to do it.... especially to then buy the same phone they already have.
Wait for a next generation LTE iPhone to show up and people to run out their contract, and I bet a lot of people switch to Verizon.

All of this 'what about the Mac' stuff is a little harsh. If Steve's got an Octo-Core Mac Pro coming in a few weeks, then he's not going to say so now.
While I see your point on that, Dell is already offering computer configs that have dual quad core chips. Granted, they say they're not shipping for a while, but people can go there and know they've got an octo core coming, where with Apple we're still having to guess- will it happen, what kind of specs can we expect, and most importantly, how much?

This is not at all strange to anyone who knows the basic business model of TJ Maxx. They buy odd overstock lots of goods, mostly clothes, so they can sell them at a deep discount.
With the rollout of the iPad to numerous new retailers, there were, by extension, numerous opportunities for someone to get overstock. Perhaps Verizon mis-estimated the popularity of the iPad bundled with the My-Fi. Perhaps Target guessed that people would prefer the 16 GB version when in fact the 32 and 64 were more popular. Perhaps someone simply needed to reduce orders to solve a cash flow problem.
In any case, once this happened, TJ Maxx did what they exist to do - stepped in and offered to buy the overstock at a discount so they could sell up. There's no controversy or mystery here - it's just that TJ Maxx managed to land a particularly good lot of stock.
(To clarify, I suspect that whatever retailer sold their stock to TJ Maxx did so at a loss. Did this violate their agreement with Apple? I'd be surprised if it did - there's surely a clause in most of the MAP contracts to deal with clearance/closeout pricing. Indeed, Amazon routinely undersells MAP - the only rule is they can't advertise those prices, so they require you to put the item in the cart to view the price. I assume that whatever retailer sold off their stock did not advertise, and instead contacted TJ Maxx, who I imagine they're used to doing business with, and came to an agreement to liquidate inventory.)

One even more important change, which I KNOW they won't do, is use a universal radio chip that can support GOS and CDMA networks - no more having to buy a new phone every time you switch carriers - oops, that cuts agains Apple's AND the carriers interest - not much traction there.
It could potentially reduce Apple's manufacturing costs, so there may be some traction there.
