From my original post:
Funny thing out of all of this: I had a set of Monster Cables for the 360 which force the system to run in HD. Whoever took it will have a nice surprise when they get it home and find out they can't run it on their SD set. (Kinda assuming they won't have an HD TV if they are stealing a 360...)
I'm pretty sure this is why they haven't been able to play any games on the system. They keep logging into Xbox Live but since they get no video output from the console, they cant even see that there are friend requests, voice chat requests, messages, etc.

It's a great convenience until the RIAA gets pissed and either changes their mind about downloadable music or tells Apple to hike their prices.
We shouldn't worry though, Apple will defeat this in no time.
Maybe some big company should tell the greedy money grubbing RIAA to "go jump in the Lake" and just leave things how they are instead of trying to change Apples DRM and create even more restrictions to what you can do with legally purchased music. Maybe if the greedy money grubbing RIAA looked at changeing its business model to bring it inline with the newer digital age it might find some better way of doing things. After all there is NO evidence that file sharing kills music and CD sales.
What the evidence actually tells us is file sharers are downloading singles which the music industry doesnt cater for so they get the impression that they are losing sales.
Hmmmm methinks that maybe the RIAA needs to adjust its buiness model to meet the changing music environment rather than change the business environment to keep with its outdated business model.
Cheers Winmacguy
PS I was aware as mentioned in the article that in Apple's case you still have to purchase the music before you can strip the DRM from it unlike Napsters music which you onliy have to pay $15 for as much as you can eat!

While Dell DVD player does indeed suck, there are some good windows DVD players out there. Judging M$ by the bundled DVD player that Dell ships on their PeeCees does not seem very fair. :o
Ok ok I might be a bit rough but the last time I played DVD player on Windows... whenever I inserted the DVD movie, there's a popup that say do you want to install this new DVD player app? This sucks too. :cool: Can you name me one of their good dvd player and I can check it out? Thanks! :p

Dude, zarathustra, that photo of the Pismo in the Microsloth promo is so damn funny. And that is totally a Pismo, look at the light bouncing off the back of the lid. Anyone who's owned a Pismo knows those curves and their rubbery touch.
I like the Pismo, but I like the new tibook better......

i say after january 2003
maybe the imac will get 1 ghz single processor before the end of this year
but the 1.25 ghz is likely AFTER macworld san francisco in january 2003...but if it happened then, that would be very nice
i would like to see something like this at mwsf
1 ghz imac - low end
1.25 ghz imac - middle
1.25 ghz imac with 17" screen - top of the line
this would be nice if it correspnded with a 1 and 1.25 ghz emac, an ibook at 1 ghz, tibook at 1.25 ghz, and powermacs to 1.5 or 1.6 ghz...essentially nothing under 1 ghz
...but that scenario is more likely for mid-2003 instead of january, 2003...the only item i could see still stuck under 1 ghz in mid-2003 would be low end ibook and the crt imacs which would both probably be stuck at 900 mhz
the age of mhz is soon leaving us and all personal computers on mac side will be 1 ghz+
i have not seen any pcs under a gigahertz for months now

remember 3/4 of businesses fail, what makes yours more likely to get more work than those 3/4.
oh and dont give people pirate software without telling them, some friends who think they are hardcore did and now they have allot of angry customers.

So the latest news that we are hearing is the the powerbooks will top out at 1 Ghz.
and that the ibook update (if there is one) will be a 13" 800 mhz powerpc G3.
does anyone else find this disappointing.
i mean im all for new powerbooks and upgrades of older systems,
but a measly 200 Mhz speed bump in a laptop that is more than a year old.
i just find this disappointing.
I mean apple has now come out with a pretty revolutionary software system that takes advantage of powerful processors to help run your power intensive applications, but without the power behind it what good is it?
all this in a laptop that will still probably top out at what $3500?
i mean i just feel that with the lagging speeds of the G4 it will be harder and harder to compete with X86 units when they at least double in the same amount of time.
add in the fact that we probably won't even see the "G5" until what 9 months at the very very earliest?
okay im just ranting now, but thoughts?

lies. i play games like that all the time, and if anything, my visions getting worse.
I can see the reflexes being sharpen but eyesight....I'm still wearing glasses for goodness sake and I've been playing games since the days of stickman.

its not saying that your actual vision will improve. its saying that your ability to discern objects in a mess/fast moving environment is improved.

There are a number of us who are having trouble accessing .mac mail since last night (18+ hours). I can access ALL .mac services, except for mail (webmail seems to be unavailble as well).
.Mac system status shows the following: ".Mac email is currently unavailable for a small number of .Mac customers. iDisk and web-based services (like HomePage, Backup and iCards) are unaffected."

I really hope that Apple makes all of their displays widescreen but my biggest hope is that if a new powerbook isn't released before Christmas that it's released at Macworld SF. The HD in my iBook SE just crashed and I replaced it with a 40gb Fujitsu, which makes the machine a little better, but I still need a laptop that can run OS X.2.
Hopefully the new displays will have a redesign on the exterior as well as the interior, not that anything is wrong with the current ones, just hoping for something new because these displays have looked the same for a while.
Maybe this will be where Apple does something huge to get ready for the IBM chips that are available late next year. Also, I hope it won't be a disappointment that produces no new hardware, but we'll see.

Man I remember playing that game in elementry school on a Mac! It had a green display, not sure which one though. Be nice to play it again.
[EDIT]
I remember playing that shizzy in 6th grade on ][e's! Fun stuff. When you find it, be sure to post.
Must of have been that computer. What year were you in 6th grade?

travelling in the school elevator the other day, i was wondering about the reliability of having such an odd cylindrical elevator. good to know my intuitions were right that it wouldn't work reliably.
Sounds more like Tupperware, right? A place for storing humans or something.

IEEE 802.116 is probably a mistake by the HR person who wrote up the job description. They probably saw either 802.11b or 802.11G and thought the b or
G was a 6. HR people don't always have much of an idea of what the company they work for actually does. I once knew one who worked for a computer company that thought a monitor was the computer itself and no the computer wasn't an iMac it was a PC.
An iPod with wireless networking with rendevous is a facinating idea. Especially when you consider using it with a Phillips or other brand stereo or car stereo.
Bluetooth may be there to dial numbers on you cell phone from your iPod. It could be a short range version of the wireless connection above or even used for bluetooth headphones. I'm personally not big on the idea of bluetooth headphones.
USB would make sense since Apple is chasing the PC market with the iPod now. Very few PCs have firewire cards but most made in the last 3 years have USB.
GSM is interesting..... Most likely for sending text messages via a cell phone. It also may indicate that a USB bus and/or bluetooth may be for input too. However if the iPod could send text messages without a cell phone...
Very nice find MacCoaster

Even thou it states that "Toshiba doesn't have currently plans to sell the drive outside Japan" doesn't mean that we can't have hope!!;)
this would be the most useless device ever. Think abuot it. bluetooth has a range that would require the iPod to be in the room with your computer. So you don't relaly gain any convienence. And you'll ahve to be there for hours to transfer the songs. bluetooth runs at 1 mbps. usb runs at 11 mbps. so bluetooth is 11 times slower than usb, whcih already takes hours to transfer all the songs, and 400 times sloer then firewire. Meanwhile, you could simply plug it in since you're next to the computer anyway, andhave it all done in minutes.
Bluetooth offers no convienence, is way too slow. Whats the point, there isn't one. Its not like their going to get it streaming music to other devices through bluetooth either. They'd be better off putting in a small radio transmitter of some sort so it can be played through a stereo that way wirelessly. Bluetooth is a technology that has limited applications.
