A little out there, but what about:

* A re-released iSight (HD) and/or:

* New Apple Cinema Displays (with built in cameras).

wow yeah talk about out there.. i could see the ACD with isight but new isight external very very unlikely although there are probably people who would buy it

I count 16 different combinations of T/F and 4 occurences of having exactly 1 answer true. I passed probability and inferential statistics.

thanks..but how to figure this out without listing all the possibilities..

should I use AND or OR rule..

an external iSight would give you much better quality than a built in one ever could.
Plus some places aren't allowed to have cameras in the building at all. (they said the same thing for the iPhone too though...) :rolleyes:

true it would be better quality but the question is would it be firewire 800/400 or USB?

loss of money?

Now I am new here and don't know about how Mr. Job's mind works but...if they are only updating mobileme and the iphone wouldn't it make sense to place the new line of notebooks (assuming there is a redesign released on the 14th)? The money that apple is losing due to shut down of the site would make sense to update everything at one time. Apple is already paying all of their employees to integrate the new store sight why pay your employees even more in the next couple of weeks when they would have to shut it down again to put the new macbooks (once again assuming that it happens). I really don't know if this makes any sense, Im tired yet very excited to see what happens.

Hence the and/or ... it's more than a little strange that pro-users who treat themselves with an over priced ACD don't have any Apple branded video capture options.

It's easy...

On a 4-question true or false test, there are 4 ways you can only get 1 correct answer (i.e. get any one of the 4 questions correct and the rest incorrect).

The total number of possible answer combinations is 2^4 = 16 (there are four questions and two possible answers per question- 2*2*2*2 = 2^4 = 16).

So the answer is 4/16.

I doubt Apple lose any more with the store being down... people buying Apple still buy Apple just a little later or via an outlet.

maybe an area for Apps where people can preview, and when they click "buy app" the iTunes store will open and such...

I predict that the store will stay down for another 35 minutes. They are waiting for the US to catch up with the rest of the world and be in today and not yesterday! :p

Alaska doesn't get tomorrow for another 90 minutes. Hawaii is another 2 hours behind that.

thanks..but how to figure this out without listing all the possibilities..

should I use AND or OR rule..

I just did it by saying that I have a 50-50 shot on each one and I have 4 questions, so the denominator is clearly 16. The numerator comes from thinking about that there is precisely one way for you to have a correct solution for each question and incorrect for the rest (like 0001 or 0010 in the list).

You can also consider it as an expansion of (F + T)^4 = F^4 + 4*T*F^3 + 6*T^2*F^2 + 4*F*T^3 + T^4 where T is a correct answer and F is an incorrect answer. Then, having T^1 is having one correct and all the rest false. The coefficient of this is 4 so you will have 4 distinct occurrences of having only one question answered correctly.

My probability is a little rusty, but those are two ways that I was thinking of the solution. Would thinking of each "trial" (answering each question) as independent of the other ones help put it in perspective of AND or OR?
