As an Apple retail employee, I can assure you that MSFT poached waaaay more than a handful of or talent. Apparently, offering people piles of cash to switch teams is still a go in the business world. Who would have thunk it? Maybe that's why I'm headed back to the freelance world this week. :)
I just need to blow off some steam on how much iMovie sucks. Keynote creates a mov file and imovie wont import it all or or even recognize its a movie. Plus it lags. I could do this faster and easier in parallels with windows movie maker.. ugh. #gizmodoremainders
@clR3vv: While I have absolutely no idea why you posted that here, I totally agree with you, so much so that I downloaded SimpleMovieX not an hour ago. (QuickTime Pro users got screwed by QuickTime X, and I ain't touching iMovie for merging clips and stuff.) So yeah, go ahead, vent away. #gizmodoremainders
@Wilson Rothman: Youz guyz sound like you need yourselves some final cut action. That'll do anything you need to damn near any format of video you throw at it, it even works with video sources in different codecs in the same timeline, and you can do SO MUCH with it... I wish it took better advantage of Snow Leopard... and I wish it weren't so damn worth it... but even final cut express will do a lot, and is certainly worth the price if you use it at all. #gizmodoremainders
@Redrum4breakfast: Oh I've got Final Cut Express, but my video editing needs are super simple, basically what QuickTime Pro used to do (merge, trim, occasionally rotate) that QuickTime X now does not. Hence the SimpleMovieX. #gizmodoremainders
@Wilson Rothman: why didn't you keep quicktime 7 pro when you installed 10.6? I did for stuff like converting mkv files to mp4... it still works great! You should try re-installing it... Quicktime X is a joke as far as export options, making it's trimming abilities useless. Although, I do use it to convert downloaded TV shows to iPhone format, which it does super quick! #gizmodoremainders
Agreed. Real men admit their wrong and can actually say "Sorry". Pussies are too afraid of looking like lesser men, and don't apologize. #gizmodoremainders
I don't see how this is an obvious statement. I would think that the two companies' ability to come to agreement on the terms would be deciding factor, not type of radio in the phone. It sounds like he's denying the whole Verizon Turned Down Apple rumor.
Uhm, Apple gave Verizon first dibs on the iPhone at release. Verizon said no. What else is there to say about it other than they shot themselves in the foot.
"We said no. We have nothing bad to say about the Apple iPhone. We just couldn't reach a deal that was mutually beneficial."
What do you mean, "That's not true?"
@jcrockerman: The stick point was never whether or not the phone was GSM or CDMA based, it was over Verizon feeling they wouldn't get enough money out of the deal.
@Six Demon Bag: Lite: Well my post above sums it up, but the more recent quote is Seidenberg saying that a CDMA iPhone was never seriously considered.
Maybe "not true" isn't the best way to put it. The reality is that there are a lot of factors that were never public. There was just the initial report that VZW "passed" on the iPhone. As more came out it looked more like a negotiation that was never meant to go through in the first place.
@tande04: Actually, you don't know if that was the case or not. For all we know that's the CEO's latest excuse for why they didn't pick up the iPhone and cash in on what has become a growth point in the smartphone market.
@Software_Goddess: After 13 years of Verizon's inability to carry a phone that isn't either A) An utter piece of shit or B) So crippled and handicapped by Verizon that it is now a piece of shit, I changed. Their network coverage is great, their customer service has been great, their phones just suck and I grew tired of waiting.
@Six Demon Bag: Lite: Yes VZW is a master at the waiting game. I've often wondered how many leaks they're behind just so that they can keep people around a bit longer.
I'm giving them three more chances (which is what I've been saying forever). The storm2, the whitestone, and of all things the glyde 2.
@tande04: I dumped them. I have an iPhone. My coverage so far is fine, I haven't dropped any calls, my phone bill is actually about the same, and I have a phone that I actually enjoy using that doubles as an iPod, portable PC, and GPS unit (that I don't pay an extra monthly fee for just to see where the hell I am at...)

Verizon and At&T are in business to make a profit. Verizon is doing just that, At&T.....not so much.

It has brought them millions of new subscribers.
