This is an interesting ban. I don't personally like those veils, as they represent a cultural institutionalized form of discrimination and control over women (granted, it seems that some women wear them voluntarily for reasons unknown to me). However, nothing ever gets better if you start alienating these cultures this way.
I do see their point. If a man walked around with something that covered everything but their eyes, people would be suspicious.

As of right now, you cannot buy one for $159 each. Read the page: it says "currently unavailable."
I read the page smart@$$ and then ordered two. At that price they sold out. Clearly NOT one of the ones with half an ounce of common sense and CLEARLY one of the ignorant ones with a superiority complex. This is why us switchers don't like "Apple' people like you. :rolleyes:

I have used EyeTV for over two years. I am very happy with its performance, especially after the last couple of upgrades and updates. Just two days ago, I drove off to work and remembered that I had forgotten to schedule a recording. Since I had never initiated the built-in online scheduler, I just went without that show. I figured that I would just suffer through the chunky, undependable web streamed episode when it becomes available in a day or two. Now, I can schedule programs from anywhere with what I consider absolute ease. Today, while at my girlfriends house, I tried the live streaming over her wifi. It was only about a 15-20 second delay from the live version on her Cable TV. Very nice picture and sound. Way to go EyeTV and Apple. All they need to do now is add a fully functional remote control for the desktop version.
Note: for all of the haters out there. I am amazed at how angry and nasty you get when something doesn't work on your system. First, restart your mac and iPhone after major installs and upgrades. We have all become so spoiled with OS X and its ability to do installs and upgrades every time you make a change without restarting, however, that doesn't mean it's not necessary for optimizing performance and features. Also, if some other product works for you, just use it. I think EyeTV rocks. I haven't used Sling or Orb, so I won't say anything neg about them. BTW, not being able to get hardware or software to work for you does not qualify you to condemn it. If you can't get it to work due to a technical problem or some incompatibility you still have not used the hardware/software. Since it is working just fine for others(not bad for vers. 1.0.0), then the problem might just be you.

Anyway, what would be nice (but a long way off) is a thin touch-sensitive OLED membrane of a keyboard. It accepts input and provides visual feedback, but can also provide tactile feedback by way of a series of pins underneath the membrane. The system could cause the pins to raise slightly, forming the outline of keys or perhaps bars for mixer controls or whatever. Like I said, a long way off, but that's the earliest that I can see this sort of idea actually being marketable.
What prevents the entire "base" of the laptop from being able to detect touch input like an iPod scroll wheel - but instead of up, down, left, right and "around," it's a keyboard, and gaming pad, a PDA, a DJ pad, video editing, medical field, education, whatever? Each different input configuration controlled by whatever application you're using.
Dunno, just rambli'...
One nice result would be no marred screens form raised keys (tho that may have been remedied by these latest sunken MacBook keyboards).
Then there is the tactile factor... which is still important (I think). I use a Treo 650 and while I have the option to dial numbers via touch screen, I almost always (like 99% of the time) opt for the teeny tiny little numbers in the QWERTY keypad. Not 100% sure why, but I think it does have a lot to do with the tactile quality of the QWERTY vs. the absolute zero tactile aspect of the touch screen.

You have obviously never had a Newcastle that has gone skunky. I love Newcastle, but I hate those clear bottles.
I've never really been a fan of Newcastle, so I've definitely never had a skunked one.
US-made Budwesier is foul. Though, America does not have a monopoly on horrible beer, as anyone who has had a Foster's, Carlsberg, Heineken, Tecate or Molson will attest.
You forgot Corona! They flat out tell you their beer will probably be skunked before you drink it, so put a lime in it!

No, that's bourbon.
Budweiser, Miller, PBR, Old Style, Lone Star, etc. are all very similar. They are great to drink after any strenuous exercise, running, biking, etc. In fact, I defy you name any type of beer that is better to drink, afterward.
I generally stick to water after exercising, but I like wheat beers on hot days. Still light, and no rice.

...but will the blender blend another blender?
It probably could, but to do so would cause a rift in the space-time continuum and create a black hole. They are wise not to try this.
You act like the iPad they destroyed for the purpose of promotion was impossible to replace... like there will always be one person who wanted an iPad in the world who can never have one now, because he blended THAT one. Ridiculous!
If you go to the site, they are giving away an iPad in a contest to make up for that poor soul who will never be able to get the one he blended. Maybe that will make some people happy. :)
I love Blendtec.

I'd rather Leopard was released later with fewer bugs and more stability, than sooner to compete with Vista (that isn't going to be adopted at the same speed anyway).
In relation to the basic editing features in preview - does that mean PDF docs opened can be re-written etc.. or am I on completely the wrong track ?
I can't wait for a unified look, it's a mess right now.

How is the Mac mini not expandable? The current mini, can handle up to 8GB of RAM, and can be configured up to 1 TB of HDD space. Then, you can add many, many peripherals. The dual core processor alone is worth the extra $. What can you expand on a G4 or G5 that you can't expand on a mini?
If I had to choose $250 for a G5, or $700 for a mini, $600 or less referbed, I'd choose the mini.
To each their own.. most of my everyday work, about 70-80 percent is done on the PB G4 - basics.. only handbrake and dvd encoding is done on my 6-core mac pro.. I have no use for video editing, and personally will never touch it because I don't have the time nor desire to learn about it.
Well, I just replaced the 5400 120GB PATA in my PB G4 and replaced it with a OWC Legacy SSD drive and it has brought new life to my power book G4.
I say: Why not? My 2010 Mac Pro seems to love the company of its older brothers, the PPC macs.. and even my Gateway p-6860fx chimes along as well. All of them get along.. none of them hate each other.. why hate ppc? Why hate Intel?? So long as the computer can do what you ask of it, it is NEVER obsolete.

How many iPods in the US are actually sold in Apple Stores?
We in Holland have "Apple Centres" (look similar to Apple Stores, but are not owned by Apple), and they ofcourse sell iPods. In theory there is no difference in the iPod's halo-effect IF they are bought in a US-Apple Store, or a Dutch Apple Retailer's Stores. Consumers buy iPods while surrounded by great Apple computers.
Trouble is, that most iPods sold are bought in places like Dixons, or other large consumer-electronics store. No halo-effect, 'cause there are no Macs, and if there were any, hardly any salesperson knows enough about them to actually try to push the sales of Macs.
Is that any different in the US? Do the iPod-buyers actually go to an Apple Store to get one? I'm sure the closest consumer-elcetronics store would be much more convenient.
IMHO, it still is a marketing issue. Mac-ads on Dutch TV?? Most people don't even know Apple make the iPods! (:eek: ) If they see an iMac, some even call it the "iPod-computer", but have no idea it can do stuff their PC can do too.
One of the best quotes I have heard: "Wow.... you can get iTunes on your... eh... Apple-computer?"

I'm not arguing that this isn't 3D. I'm arguing that this video is deemed as glasses-free.
Did you actually think about what you wrote, before you wrote it?
Clearly, in the video there were no glasses of any kind involved (in the video you posted the gentlemen only used glasses because they were a convenient way to attach the IR sensors to his head). So, if you aren't arguing that this isn't 3D, and it clearly uses no glasses, what exactly is your argument?
I don't know about anyone else, but at the 1 min mark where the "targets" are being shown, they definitely look like they are protruding/jumping off the screen. I certainly don't have any experience or knowledge of this technology, but as far as I am concerned that is 3D.
You are not alone. Even in the video that Mooey posted the guy clearly states how the targets appear as if the are out in front of the screen.

I would ask the same question. However, that's not how patent law works in the USA. Nokia doesn't have to spend their time/money watching other people's products, tearing them apart, and looking for patent infringement. All Nokia needs to do is SOME DAY realize their patent was infringed and then file a lawsuit. That's it.
True that they can do it but the original question remains. Why did Nokia wait until now before doing it ?

But the damn site is all voluntary, no real authority.
So? Fact remains, that according to independent studies, Wikipedia is very accurate. Do you think that you can only do a good job when you are paid to do so?
People could change something on less looked at articles and nobody'd no the difference!
nobody would know the difference? Hardly
My sister's professors do not allow their students to you Wikipedia!
That's their choice. It still does not change he fact that according to independent studies, Wikipedia is very accurate. At this point I gues that you will just close your eyes, cover your ears and shout "LALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!". But that does not change the FACTS.
Just because something's longer doesn't mean it's bettter!
Am I speaking latin here or something? Let me repeat what I have said: According to independent studies, Wikipedia is very accurate. Meaning: There are very few errors in the entries in Wikipedia. IN ADDITION TO THAT, Wikipedia has longer articles (on average) than Britannica (for example) does. I have NOT said "Wikipedia is better because the articles are longer". I have said that "Articles in Wikipedia are very accurate AND the are on average longer than ones in Britannica". Longer articles means that they have more information than shorter articles do.
Suppose that you were looking for information about string theory (for example). Would you prefer an article on the subject that consist of one paragraph, or one that consists of twelwe paragraphs?
If you've ever used Encyclopaedia Brittanica or the World Book, the authors are pros on the subject, not just some bum that's obcessed with Google!
What makes you think that authors in Wikipedia are "bums"? What makes you think that they are not experts in their field?
You obviously have an axe to grind when it comes to Wikipedia. I haven't seen any reason why you should call the wikipediaistas "bums". So what is your problem here?

Android US market share grows by 7% but the top Android OEM's marketshare didn't change much. So does that mean it's the "smaller" OEMs (HTC, rebranded phones) sales that are accounting for the Android growth?

I have a SanDisk player about the size of a shuffle, but with a screen, radio and voice recorder. It runs on one AAA battery. It cannot do playlists, it is only folders of mp3 and wma files. Radio almost never work indoors. It comes with in-ear headphones that are too big for my ears. The new version with 1GB capacity is selling for only $55 at Amazon. The new one even seems to have a color screen. Unless iTunes compatibility is important for you, it is not a bad deal just due to the screen. I guess Apple could add a screen and still sell shuffle for $79 or have a 1GB nano for $99.
Bet your Sandisk player isn't as small as the new shuffle...
