I hope this is true. I also hope quad core comes to MBP like it has on the Dell lines. - lilbyrdie

This is pretty neat, but you need some bright, high contrast, and small object to really mess around with it. Or a marker to color your fingers. - lilbyrdie

Hmm, interesting. - lilbyrdie

$29?!?! - lilbyrdie

"Well, that does explain one thing: the ratings were wrong on a number of assets and bonds, misleading investors in to thinking they were safe -- but how can a AAA rated bond really be AAA if it's actually based on what's effectively a junk bond? Is that a problem with the rating companies (Moody's, etc.) or a problem with a lack of regulation? Or something completely different?" - lilbyrdie

"Well, last night MySpace still had the wrong time but, instead, we used Hulu to stream live. More on that later..." - lilbyrdie

"Hmm, good point. I haven't talked much about that recently, have I? Curious." - lilbyrdie

Wow. - lilbyrdie

About time, but too late... - lilbyrdie

Nice table :) - lilbyrdie

I guess that's the end of prepaid iPhone unlimited plans... - lilbyrdie

This is pretty scary, actually. - lilbyrdie

"Back in Santa Cruz, the repeaters were on pretty high points and could generally be used from inside with an HT. I did, however, use both external antennas on the car as well as an amplifier. In the end, it was a big mess of wires to solve a problem that, as you've said, can be solved with a much cheaper mobile rig. You can also resort to using some of the internet linking technologies, but that seems to defeat most of the purpose -- at that point, you might as well just use Skype, or the likes. Not only can it do audio and text, it can do video -- to anywhere in the world. Still, though, even a $400 HT can't do anywhere near what a $400 (without subsidy) mobile phone can do -- and that price difference isn't just in the extra power to bring the transmitter up to 5 or 6 watts." - lilbyrdie

"Oh, I know. I mean, really, shouldn't everyone have to pay for TV? I've once heard urban legends of a thing called "over-the-air" TV and it's supposedly even in HD. That's just silly talk. Everyone knows that full HD it too data intensive to stream wirelessly. And for free? Bahahaha! (OK, sarcasm off... but it really seems like an entire generation or so really thinks you need to pay for TV service.)" - lilbyrdie

Aren't PS3s $299 now? And can't they do Netflix via stuff like playon? Oh, and play games? - lilbyrdie

At first you think it's sarcastic and then you realize it's rhetoric. Still, it's pretty funny that anyone could think "walking" was bad or wacky. - lilbyrdie

Nice, but far too easy. - lilbyrdie

Uh, because they are no where near the same quality content. Not even close. A BD drive in an Apple TV, though, would make sense -- especially if they could do it and keep the price at $200 total. - lilbyrdie

Ignored. :) - lilbyrdie

32 oz? Isn't that an extra tiny short small these days? How much is needed for a standard sized 256 oz drink? Does it scale? Come on... where's the research here. - lilbyrdie

This is a pretty neat game that's be set up. I wonder if there's something to this team (hive mind?) chess play? - lilbyrdie

It's too bad the resulting size is soo limited, though. - lilbyrdie

If only it wasn't 10 bucks. - lilbyrdie

Lots of great colors out now! - lilbyrdie

Great colors. - Lynette Batton

People are making bad decisions. But why is the map data leading people on to the train tracks? - lilbyrdie

Yikes. - lilbyrdie

You can, of course, watch it for free on Hulu. No need to download it to iTunes. - lilbyrdie

And don't forget, you can stick them in the dishwasher to extend their life in each category dramatically. - lilbyrdie

This is actually a pretty good read (the manual). It talks about a couple of things that you won't find in the emulator. - lilbyrdie

DHL always messes up shipments to me (and others I know). I personally can't think of a time when I've had a good experience with them. - lilbyrdie
