I know for a fact that Madonna's tickets are usually sold out before they go on sale.
Speaking on behalf of a bunch of iPhone developers, we love the walled garden.
people dont understand most developers love the app store setup. they dont have to worry about getting their app out there as the app store does a great job. Piracy is minimum as its not easy for just anyone to pirate an app unless your already into that scene. all they gotta do is sit back and collect the checks from apple. sounds like a good setup to me. it sucks that some ideas are not allowed by apple but all it takes is one successful app to make you realize its all worth it. hell im considering getting into development.
Damn, I was hoping to go this year.
I had $2k saved up for accommodation and everything.
Oh-well I'll just buy a New iMac sooner.

haha, for some, for me they are just been a company, good for them, be a company, not a cult. I am all for that.
Now for some fun about the missed iphone, or they come out and its not the final version, "One More Thing", like he did with the G5.
I'm with you guys. Maybe because I like Apple's platforms so much. If I weren't doing iPhone I would start making Mac Apps. But maybe all those devs complaining are more kind of mercenaries who want to make their buck with whichever platform is available at the time. I am committed; if it happens to fail, I don't want to develop for any other platform. Maybe it's because I can do other stuff besides programming, or maybe because I need to do other stuff besides programming. I think I have more in common with a regular Mac user than with a (say) .NET programmer.
Yes, but the mental process for those people are not in par with the ones going here. Does anyone really care about madanna any more, get a GF people she is really old.
I rather have a nice dinner then go to one of those concerts. But to each his own entertainment. I will stick to my plasma and blu-ray weekend.

Having extra features announces or even a different and better design would be more awesome than just joking about the leak, if not as much fun.
Yeah, I grew up coding C on windows machines (to run on the same machine) and when I got my first job as a game dev I was surprised by the "remote debugging thing" (i.e., compile in a PC and load into the game console). But if you think for a second these limited devices won't perform the same as when the app ships if you are running a full-featured OS AND the IDE, as well as the app being debugged, on the same machine. Makes perfect sense.
Yeah, but there's many more people with a bad taste in music than there are developer's.
Not easy to pirate? Unfortunately, it is. Granted, it s not as easy as simply downloading a torrent of your favourite film, but once you jailbreak the phone, its easy, sadly.
And at the moment, considering how much garbage is in the app store its a kick in the teeth to the developers of reasonable apps that were rejected.
Proud to be spice for life
There is a famous saying! LESS IS MORE! (I think you should apply it with your coments) 
I'm not particularly geeked up about it, but don't Japan and Korea run CDMA networks? hence CDMA iPhones?
That would be hilarious, not to mention, a great way for Apple to laugh this whole incident off.
Not for the majority of the market, because they just don't jailbreak. The vast majority (over 80%?) of iPhone users either don't care, don't know how, or aren't interested. Not having to worry about any significant piracy from the vast majority of market customers is great for developers. Of the approx. 20% of "lost" customers, it appears (from analytics) that only a tiny percentage would have been paying customers representing actual lost revenue anyway. Leaving too trivial an amount of lost sales to worry about (unless one has an app with per-use back-end server costs, etc.)
The point being that most developers (those without back-end server costs) can essentially ignore piracy as if it didn't exist, and let Apple do most of the work distributing their app.
Marketing apps is still a big problem though...
I wonder if Gizmodo will be there?
They will be if they paid. And we all know, they should have no problem paying.
I can't wait for the keynote, I usually don't get excited about keynotes but I can't wait to see how they handle the presentation of the iPhone. Do they mention the incident, do they make a joke about it, do they just introduce a completely different phone, do they just ignore it and proceed to introduce the phone we are already familiar with..... can't wait
