Are the Apple Stores in India the full-fledged versions of their American counterparts with the Genius bar and all or are they just plain ol' stores selling Macs and iPods? Also do they allow you to listen to the iPods and stuff?

 

[aryayush]

Most of them allow you to listen to iPods and use the Macs, but they are nowhere near the actual Apple Stores in terms of anything.

As for MobileMe, for all the hullaballoo, I have to say that it has never been down for me even once since its inception.

I don't know why the Share File feature isn't made a big deal though. I mean, they went on about SSL and all that other irrelevant stuff, but Share File, one of the coolest features, was left untouched. I wonder whether I should cling to hope that this might just make it into the features list…

FUD == ??
Is that Japanese girl of Babel in your avtaar ??

Speaking of Japan, can't help, what this iPhone app [URL="*gizmodo.com/5054447/fingers-on-pervy-japanese-boob-engineers-breast+fondling-app-for-iphone] paiTouch [/url] feels like

 

[goobimama]

FUD = Fear, Uncertainty, and Despair (or so I'm told by the resident genius). But I have always considered FUD as a word by itself.

your linking skills are bad

Japan is a place from where 80% of weird thing come from Thanks to the technology :/

But still its a country worth visiting Some things are just so beautiful.

That girl is not from Babel.

Snow leopard will have exchange technology built into the OS. So it will enable Address Book and iCal to push contacts and calendars across, unlike the current 15 minute sync that we have. Not that I consider myself so important, but it would be a nice feature to have nonethelesss.

Genius Bar is awesome, the guy that works there is friendly and he solved my problem. The line waiting isn't too long if because you have an appointment.
I LA, not all stores have the ipod or studio thing.

^^ I didn't find Genius Bar anywhere near awesome, it works good for most of the english songs but for hindi songs it sucks!! Don't you think you should be the one who should be creating playlists and not some program ??

@Aryayush

Whats with your avtaar, its got smaller.... hinting towards iPhone Nano ??

 

[preshit.net]

He meant the Genius Bar @ the Apple Store, I suppose.

 

[goobimama]

^^ LOL! This ones a good one! I think Jimmy is talking about the Genius Bar, where Apple Geniuses help you out with your Mac problems. He is not referring to the Genius feature in iTunes or anything remotely close to that.

As for the Genius feature, it needs to learn. On launch it uses data based on iTunes store purchases, where there aren't many hindi tracks. Not that it will have a lot to learn from in any case, as there are hardly any iTunes users who listen to hindi music and have a US iTunes Store. So in the end it might not work as well for Hindi music (which it wasn't designed for in any case).

OOPS!! Caught on tape!!

I so wish we had the n00b of the week award. This one would definitely qualify. I wonder why they banned it though
