The product is undoubtedly real, but announcing it in December, or even at MWSF in January, would be the height of stupidity. They'd miss the Christmas buying season and piss off both the buyers and recipients of new iPods. That's probably 20 million people in the US alone who would be angry with Apple.I think most people buying ipods would be those GIVING gifts. At that point, the person getting the gift is happy and the one giving is likely a grandma or parent who's not going to be really following when the next generation of ipod is coming out.
We few, we band of brother macrumor types, would be pissed, but I don't think the average person.

not running connect360, but just got it to work.
Did a full shutdown and restart and now seems to be working. I feel quite foolish for not having tried that before posting.

What makes you think something will happen on the 30th?
Hasn't there been talk of an Apple Event on the 30th? (Or have I been mis-reading?)

I saw a follow-up report on this (on CNN I believe). What the original report doesn't tell you is that the person doing the tracking requires some sort of device ID or code from the iPod before implementing the tracking process. The author of the report mentioned that you can only get this by opening up the iPod. If this is correct, it doesn't seem that people can track you without having physical access to your iPod first.
On a positive note, this might be a good way to track your kids on family outings.

They did this with the Nintendo DSi back in 2009.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5QSclrIdlE&feature=player_embedded
The game is available in the DSi Ware Store (called Looksley's Line Up). It�s quite funny because the changing of the perspective will reveal the solutions to each diorama and the effect is done quite well.
Back then when Nintendo announced that their next iteration would feature 3d I just thought that they would implement this form of "pseudo" 3d in every game. The problem in real life: You only get the 3d effect when you move your head or your device - So it�s the totally opposite concept of the stereoscopic screens like in the 3ds or some new android phones where you can only see the effect when you look straight on the device! You have to experience both - Funny thing: You can download the DSi game on the 3DS and play it there and afterwards some 3DS 3d game to really get the idea how the two techniques behave in real life. Obviously both have their advantages!
What would be impressive is some combination of the two: "Real" 3D imaging like on the 3ds combined with headtracking..
EDIT: Some of the problems with Jonny Lees awesome concepts: You can only do it alone, the effect doesn�t work if more people are staring at the tv, and it isn�t possible with movies it�s only possible with real time rendered objects! As you can see the stadium at the end is totally flat, as opposed to how the stadium would look like with glasses and shot with a 3d camera.
But after getting my 3ds last week (together with PES 2011) I have to conclude that the 3d of the 3ds is better and more impressive even though my eyes start to hurt after playing for an hour or so..
Because they achieved this game with the DSi (133 Mhz ARM) I don�t think that it taxes the cpu very much..
Because of on-screen motion during gameplay, is that why Nintendo when with the Lenticular Lenses?

I'm wondering how this head-tracking technology would work in-game...

What bothers me about this is that we now seem to have a huge number of professors and other self promoting (people) running around scaring people for what appears to be a number of odd reasons. This is about as real of a concern as the people making all the noise about global warming. Sure there are issues here, but it really looks like the efforts of people associated with theses scares are more about self promotion and self enrichment than anything else.
Not a nice thing to say, but when you understand that some of the people involved in the global warming debate where a few years ago involved in the coming ice age debate you have to wonder about sincerity. I mean really what is the big deal here that a public announcement was need. Was it an issue of radio frequencies being trackable, something we have all known about for years, or the fact that the transmission was coded for identification?
The point is if you have anything on you body that transmits radio energy you can be tracked. No surprise there. I'm also suspicious about their software, the unwillingness to publish said software may indicate that this is a elaborate dog and pony show.
In the end I just think it is sad that people in the higher education systems of this country have nothing better to do than to scare people. You would think with all the long term economic issues we have they could find a little time to develop technologies that will push the economy forward. Instead energy is focused on items that go down the drain in a few months time.

Agreed.... but I think to most (at the time) the Mac OS wasn't even considered. Macs were "toys" only used by "artsy" folk :rolleyes:
The general view of the Mac has changed alot in ten years.
I don't know about that! The comment about people perceiving the mac as a "toy" or used by "artsy folk" isn't too far from today's perception of the mac.
Even Apple markets the mac primarily based on the strength of "Home Entertainment", "Fun movies", "music", "photo albums", and "graphic arts".
Business today is still miopicaly tied to Windows for applications and Linux for servers.
Macs are much more prominent with artists, graphics designers, video professionals, and hollywood than they are in the general business population.

Perhaps, but they seemingly let it fly under the radar for a reason, and now it�s been exposed, what will the repercussions be?
Why can't we just have a secret update to iChat that unlocks Facetime or something?

I must say I was a bit disgruntled when I saw that international orders would ship in 2 to 3 weeks, especially since I got a 4 to 5 week estimate.
Anyway, I just checked my status and it hasn�t budged from April 25th.

actually I would claim their research is probably spot on. There is not very many people who will buy a $400 system which should have wi-fi built in and since it doesn't will go spend another $100 for the MS antenna. That is outrageous. I for one will continue to use a cable when every thing else I have is wireless because I will not be forced into their marketing scheme.
Well the comedy in it is that the consumer desn't use Wi-Fi because it's expensive. But now, if it were built in, don't you think more people would use the built in wi fi instead of ethernet :D <-note teh smiley.

But in fear of being labelled a racist, I shall no longer speak my views. It's a sad day when you're a racist for disliking people who break the law, and enter countries illegally, it's even worse when your own government house them.

Supposed to later but it looks and feels like another clear one to me. Here's hoping though.
45 minutes till play resumes. I bet Giles and Jones had trouble sleeping last night. I got the train this morning at Putney and it was even more packed than yesterday with people on their way to Vauxhall for the day. Gits.
To all the US members lost here, this is the game where you can play five matches at five days a piece and still draw!! Brilliant.

Some parts of Microsoft's products are proprietary so cannot be used by anyone else. Also people working for companies that have a majority of Microsoft based systems in use (i.e. nearly all of them) find it easier to interact with everyone else if they are using the same software. I for one am happy with Office 2011 - it enables me to work for most of my clients without having to use my Windows 7 bootcamp.
noted, but not happy!

The only thing that needs to be solved though are the dirty practices in both coal and nickel/lithium mining. Yeah, power plants are more efficient at burning coal then an ICE burning gasoline and drilling for oil is no green walk in the park either, but these things need to be solved as well.
Ya i see what you're saying too. I just think far too often the choices made by the buying public are used to fault the automakers. For example, the fact that Ford now sells an excellent, fuel efficient hatchback in the Ford Fiesta doesn't change the fact that, in November for example, 3473 people in the US bought a Fiesta, while 38,541 people decided they needed an F-Series. In this regard, I think it's ridiculous for the government to mandate that a company build a certain number of xx mpg cars, regardless of whether people actually want to buy those cars or not. Instead, the government should create incentives to encourage people to buy more efficient vehicles. You can't blame car companies for building vehicles that satisfy a profitable segment of the market. Unfortunately, GAS TAX is way too scary a concept for any sane politician to touch with a 10-foot pole.
CAFE is set in place for the reason you mentioned, no politician will touch the gas tax issue. Since politicians don't want to tax gas to get Americans to buy more fuel efficient vehicles, they are forced to make the cars themselves more efficient.
