Well...I would say "stupid" is a very strong word. If the light is red, there's a crosswalk, and a "walk" sign that says "walk"...then the pedestrian has the right of way. If these pedestrians are crossing the street in an unsafe manner...such as when the light is green on the street they are crossing...then they are probably not being very "smart"!

You should come to Cleveland. You have people crossing the street with cars speeding by, and don't even care. I wouldn't be surprised if I saw someone crossing a freeway instead of using the bridge!
ahh...what was this thread about again??

I've seen a few of these. The problem is, they're proprietary and so devs need to jump on a particular platform. I think Apple actually needs to release one.
They should also make the design more like a "clamp" so that it's not specific to any one model (iPhone/iPod Touch 2G/3G/4G, etc).

- Back to my old 2.2GHz C2D MB after selling my MBP and wondering what my next Mac will be :)
I'd like to see Apple wireless modem/routers added to the airport express and extreme range, Apple TVs with airport (LCDs, LEDs, etc ..... not talking about Apple TV box) and stereo systems (mainly amplifiers) with airport.
This would make for a very simple wireless computer and home entertainment setup.

I'd like to see Apple release a wireless box and modem in one. If they did I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Having to have Wall->modem/router->Airport express->to my mac (wirelessly) is just annoying.

A couple of things come to mind for me though I don't really think Apple will build either of them.
1. The TiVo killer. If the Apple TV had recording abilities similar to a Tivo I would have jumped at it from day one. That won't happen though because it does not fit with their current content delivery models.
2. I wonder how many more iPads they would sell if you did not also have to have a computer for the backup/syncing process. That wouldn't work for me, since I use computers daily and will have one around but others might like the idea.
3. Revamp the font options in Finder and iTunes. If you are running a larger monitor at higher resolutions the current setup can be a bit hard to read.

Hmm... A remake of the iMac G3 With an LCD screen, Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0 GHz (Or something like that) Basically, only the outer shell would be the same, the innards are completely up to date, and ready to rock for the next 10 years. Although if apple doesn't do it... I'm pretty sure I'd be able to jam a Mac Mini in there somehow!

I'll explain a little bit further (off topic).
I'm a marathon runner (as well as a Mac fanatic). I run lots & lots of miles every week. The safest place for a runner to run on the roads is on the left side (against traffic)...so you can see what a driver is doing...and if they are not paying attention...you can JUMP out of the way.
Since I (and other runners) run against traffic...you practically look EVERY driver right in the eyes...just to see what they are doing & are looking at...just in case. Obviously when doing this you see EXACTLY what the driver is doing...and this includes being on a phone or iPhone...and not paying full attention to driving!
Coincidentally...I've been running for 33 years. Last Monday (8 days ago) for the first time...I was hit by a car!!!

OMG. Are you okay? Did they graze you or send you flying into a ditch at 50 MPH? (Okay I may be exaggerating) But still, It's a good thing you don't live up here, we have the road and the ditch, NO SIDEWALK. Period. Plus the drivers up here are maniacs when it comes to driving. I've lived in my house for 8 years. And we live at the bottom of a hill. Almost every year we have a major accident. (Last one came crashing through our fence and landed in our front yard.) O_O

Forgot to mention I would like some way to pair a BT gizmo with more than one device without having to repeat the pairing process. I don't mean multiple simultaneous pairings just an easier way to switch things. For example use the Apple BT keyboard with my MacBook Pro then flip a switch and use it with another Mac it was previously paired with.
Might be nice for BT headsets as well.

Idea maybe already available
I would like to be able to after reading an email with an important date, click hold or push something that would bring me to that date on my calendar so I could not only add the I formaion about the date but would also be hyperlinked or connected to the orig email so all I have to do is press something and it takes me to the orig email or email thread. For someone like myself that uses email and my calendar religiously that would really help me a lot to help arrange dare needed for future.
