What's more reliable about the AIM protocol than the one Apple created for Bonjour/Jabber?

The level of feature implementation is considerably higher for the iChat / AIM protocol due to the fact that it has been in iChat since the start, refined, updated, and enhanced where the Jabber and Bonjour parts are fairly recent additions.

Bonjour (Rendezvous) was there from the beginning. Jabber was added 4 years ago.

And iChat uses the same AV protocol for AIM, Bonjour and Jabber (I had to look it up, I was wrong before, It's quite interesting actually, uses SIP to start the connection and RTP to send and receive, and also uses uPNP (and NAT-PMP I assume) to open the ports and an Apple server to find the external IP)

Wow, I remember back in the day when it wasn't...I guess you learn something new every day.

I can't wait for the 3G iPhone either so I'm getting a little nervous. However, my main concern is the launch price in Belgium. It's the first time they're going to have one here so everyone, without a "hacked" one, is waiting to storm that shop.

We'll see but I, for one, have my money ready for a 3G version.

Two things I'm surprised Apple hasn't said anything about are video recording and Bluetooth file transfer. Video recording is huge, I love being able to take videos and share them with people over Bluetooth, so I'm surprised Apple hasn't said anything about this yet :/

Imj not sure if Im going to upgrade to the new iPhone, depends on the features. One question, if anyone knows the answer. If I buy a new iPhone, can I take the SIM from my current iPhone and use it on the new one or I have to activate it again??

I reckon you'll have to activate again but in a simple way. iPhones will still be locked.

I know this question will not tell us anything about the iPhone, but I doubt she can even answer this one. :|

Even after WWDC, I bet she can't say if she saw it or not.

What I'm wondering though, Cara, is : what exactly is your job at Apple? Are you designing their website? Their applications? Their icons? Or maybe their hardware? *cough iPhone* :p

She could of been designing 'Snow Leopard' for PC.. oh the irony :laugh: :woot:

If they do add multi touch in mac osx i wonder what the reaction would be. I bet they would show some intresting demos, compared to microsofts lame one

I can see apple getting this first and it actully sucucding

Of course Microsoft showed a "lame" demo. Why do people still think they were suddenly going to show off the entirety of Windows 7?

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
