I hope the Apple factory in Brazil doesn’t become the equivalent of same model guitars being of varying quality depending on country of manufacture.

Anyone used Soundprism Pro over a normal network, not ad-hoc? Almost about to spring for it, but still at the part where I'm wondering how much I'll actually use it. Gonna ask at the forum if he's planning on doing midi file export (and hopefully for the free version, just to make up for charging his customers for updates and who knows what else in the future, though I can understand both views).

Microsoft jettisons Flash with 'plug-in free' Windows 8 Metro IE10
The tablet-optimized Metro version of Internet Explorer 10 in Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8 will be a "plug-in free experience," as the company follows Apple's lead in abandoning Adobe Flash in favor of HTML5 on tablets.
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11 ... _ie10.html
The IE team examined the top 97,000 sites around the world, determining that, of the 62 percent of those sites that use Flash,
many of them already have an HTML5 option as well.

I’m actually looking forward to Microsoft potentially becoming relevant again despite not being all that impressed with Windows 7 on an innovation level. Maybe comparing Windows to Windows it might be but comparing Windows to OSX, no. But the whole rivalry between Apple and Google has become a big yawn.

Tech guru Walter Mossberg approached his first impressions of the iPad evenly without making overly harsh judgments. The keyboard and the tablet's size, in his opinion, may be the iPad's biggest downfall. "Finally, while it's too early for me to say without lots of testing, the size of the iPad's virtual keyboard may be a liability. I found it almost too wide for thumb typing, and a colleague who's a whiz at touch typing and tried it briefly found it awkward to type on. Apple is offering an auxiliary physical keyboard that docks with, and charges, the iPad. But you won't want to lug that around."
You might be wondering where TechCrunch's Michael Arrington fits into this hoopla. As of this writing, Arrington hadn't given his two cents (or two thousand dollars) to the iPad, though he's likely writing his tome now. I'm more interested than usual about Arrington's take given that his own tablet, the CrunchPad, went down in flames.
Michael Hiltzik of the Los Angeles Times ran down the laundry list of oft-repeated iPad shortcomings, but hinted at its hopeful possibilities. "... depending on how it's exploited, eventually it could be much more."
The round-up of other influential tech blogs brought the same lukewarm response I believe we should expect from what looks to be a wishy-washy on-the-fence device. Gizmodo, quite simply, hated it. In a very long, multi-person take, Engadget was kinda "meh." ZDNet, like many, urged caution. And the editors here at PC World teetered toward the negative in multiple editorial takes.
So that's the general take on Apple's latest product. What's even more appealing to me is getting the audience's reaction. So what do you think about the iPad?

I always just hit the share button, copy the link, then paste in the IM app.
The entire YouTube app is infuriating.
