I love how utterly terrible their new slogan is, the sitcom with Bill and Sinfield was FAR better, I actually thought they were good (see my post up there ^) and was really looking forward to the next one. "Life without walls" Well if you have no walls, WHY DO YOU NEED WINDOWS. So so silly. And mimicking the Apple ads only draws more attention to them, why draw attention to the minority. Idiots.

Genius recommended me this...Oh Apple...

Try that again in English and I'll think about it

Because we rock, the popout personal assistant, message notifier, thing, now works again. Also when you use quick edit now you'll get some feedback on what's happening, like loading etc, so you don't leave the page before it's done!

Not necessarily! Not to long ago we went through and deleted a ton of accounts that hadn't been logged into for a year (we messaged them first, ofcourse!). Don't forget, just because they don't post, doesn't mean they're not an active member. Those 400 members have all been active within the past month, as in, logged in and reading, not bad going! Your member number is your ID in the database, which shows what order people registered in, 1 is Marc, 2 *was* me, etc. We're now up to '3135', so if you crunch the numbers, we've deleted over 2,734 accounts, for one reason or another, since the start on TPM.Also whilst we're on the subject, we used to have user validation, so we could check your usernames, etc. We stopped this to allow new members to get going quicker, but it seems we've fallen into a problem that usernames are...s**t. We would like to have related user names, to your name, overall it makes the community that much more nicer. We're not going to start enforcing that if you're registed now, but if you would like your username changed, message me or anyone from the admin team.

The feature is there, it's just hidden. This is because we have a completely custom forum skin, so we can get this place to look nice, and to achieve this we need to hide bits of the original, and the bit we've hidden contains the pop out message box. We'll look into it.

Can we try use proper English please, or I'm going to shoot myself in the skull. Thanks.

We already have a Tidal Wave topic, please search before hand, like it says in the damn guidelines.

Amen to that Mark.Admin presence hasn't been what it used to be, as say in the summer holiday, as I've returned to Sixth Form and my A Levels have taken priority, Marc has work, Ian has work, Mark has work, just a lot of other work basically.But yeah because of this we're gonna be on a short fuse, no messing around. I've spent ages perfecting the guidelines to make it clear what is an acceptable post and what isn't. If you've read them and follow them, I mean, follow them, you have nothing to worry about.

Yay! Finished my Graphics book cover.

Welcome Jack!..the Sack. Tadah.

I honestly can't tell if he is being sarcastic or sincere. Someone help me out.

The ear buds with mic and play/pause/volume buttons aren't in production yet, and won't be for a month. Once they're out, I believe they'll be included in Nano Chromatic and iPhone 3G

It's nice to have a speaker there if you need it, Steve said himself it's casual listening. Apart from other cute features and slight improvements, what else CAN you do with the iPod? End of the day it's there to play music and video, and now they're branching out into games. There is only so much you can do with it, and the improvments announced yesterday make the experience just that little bit better.As for how Genius is going, it's working great, recommending some really great tracks, and MGMT albums I didn't even know existed. It's like Pandora, love it.

Just as expected, today Apple released updated iPods! New iPod Nano Chromatic. Widescreen, and has a really cute feature "shake to shuffle", you just shake it and it plays a completly random song from your collection.The iPod touch got thinner, bigger space, volume controls and a built in speaker.iTunes got a pretty big update, with something called Genius, it goes through all your music, and then finds songs you may like based on what you already have, so its a recommendation engine. It can also make playlists based off one song, which are similiar. Been trying it out and it's working pretty well.Take a look! http://www.apple.com

In programming, in all languages, the first program you ever make is one called "Hello World", and all it does is display "Hello World" on the screen, then quits. It's tradition!

program helloWorldbegin Write("Hello World"); ReadIn;end.How cute. Phills first Pascal program in computer science.

*Raises hand* I'm poor! Save me Will!

Out of all the posts you could of picked here on TPM, you picked mine for forgetting an 'O'. Wow. And no I passed English ta. English has a capital 'E' by the way
