I can see it now. For god only knows how long, Prof. Morris will be getting all the different smiley variations. Well at least if his phone is set to vibrate and he has it in his pants he will KNOW that he is loved and FEEL that love.
find a guy that lost both his hands and ask him what would be the first thing he would do with it would be... and guess what?
he'd lie to you and tell you that he would like to do blah, blah, blah... and then hug the kids and hold his wifes hands or a load of other BS...
he'd be going to some porn sites and trying out robotic maria palm and her 5 sisters (yeah, yeah there are hundreds of iterations of that, n/k)...
just nasty to think that A LOT of people would say "Hey let me be one of the first people to shake your new hand." - knowing better, I would stay the hell away from that hand for a while...
I was a bit retarded this morning. They could be using it for the capture and yes you are very right, they would never get my signature either since I only right 2 letters and some squiggles.
All over the mac rumor sites there had been (well the conversations pop up ever now and again) conversation about a new PDA. People figured, hey if its in Jaguar then they have to be working on a new PDA, even though Apple has stated they do not want to get back into that world (could be disinformation though).
Personally I think its pretty cool to be able to hand write something (typing can be faster but not for everyone) into any application or draw a quick middle finger to your boss in an email (quicker then ascii art - unless of course you have a repository of that sort of thing).
But hey the first uses of the handwriting recognition on OSX have been at the apple stores. I may be incorrect but the pad that you sign your name into for your credit card receipt may be using it. Heard someone at the NY store talking about the fact that the little signature devices were also using the handwriting recognition software to match up against what your credit card's stripe has on it. If it's true, its a nice real world experiment to tweak out the software.
Damn, that is exactly the same sh!t I was going to post (worked for a few of those "nasty" companies for a while).
Better yet, someone at AT&T should do this, god knows they could use some revenue right now. And have you tried getting 900 calls off your bill? It will work once or twice, but try telling them that it wasnt you on the 15th time it was billed to your number. You'll be lucky if they dont put the old charges back on your bill.
On a side note, you wouldnt believe the amount of hell you have to go through with the phone company to allow you to keep making these calls. Say you rack up $1000 a month on testing the numbers and such, they will keep turning it off even if you TELL them not to and you are paying them. They then tell you to call a special number that will allow you to keep making these calls, only to find out that next month you have to do the same thing.
This is your ASS, and this over here is your ELBOW and NO they ARE NOT the same thing.
You have to be kidding me? You havent had the beach ball spin for a while? I have 1152 MB of RAM and I see the beachball all day long. If you dont see it a few times a day then you are either using only a few programs at a time or the apps that you are running are not taxing your machine (which is a good thing). But like I said with a gig of RAM i see the ball plenty of times a day.
I used this program for a while, it has been some time though; but it was pretty good at exactly what you are looking for. You can import various 3d files and it will export the timeline to many 3d apps.
You can check it out here. Found an article off of google about them now giving you a free 30 day full trial version - so at least you can check it out and see.
As I recall there were a bunch of pre built dance moves in there for choreographers - much easier to start with something then to make everything from scratch. I could keep going on about this but it's just much better to go to there site and see all the features.
Hope this will be helpful. Unless of course this was the program that she was already using.
Maybe the aliens from "The Abyss" are coming up cuz there pissed off. Hell in the last 12 years they've added to there video archive of fucked up things going on on this planet.
Just because they "have been" working, does not mean they "will keep" working. I don't know about any of you, but ill keep away from this mod. I enjoy my wireless network and RF gadgets way to much to mess with this - oh yeah and I like my drives working for longer then a a couple weeks.
Maybe Apple will see this and make see through drives in there next iMacs. Or at the very least some external drive manufacturer will make some.
The phone is pretty cool. Good features, nice screen (shoulda been color, but the resolution kick ass anyway). Havent tried the bluetooth card since there is nothing software wise that would work for me, although you can get sync software for some major portals - yahoo and excite.
They do have the bluetooth headset that is pretty sweet. And the radio option (with the regular headset, im not sure about the bluetooth headset), is pretty cool.
Also, they are working on a possible mp3 player for there phones that use the same connector as the the 270c and some of the newer phones.
Kinda foolish that the organic led timeport doesnt have the same accessory port as the newer phones.

Sorry just a pet peeve of mine - I hate it when people call it a sony "VEGA" when it is a "WEGA". They did a little double colored, double "V" logo, which (while trumpets are sounding) - is a "W".
This was also in some stupid DVD production newsletter I received a few years ago). Wish I had the stuff to back it up though.
But hey things change, and early DVDs did suck. Artifacts abound. That also changed when someone who actually cared about the movie (sometimes the actual producers), made sure that it was looking good.
apple has been doing this with mp3 players since iTunes came out. Which is pretty nice since you dont have to worry about installing drivers from a cd then loosing the cd and having the original company charge you for the drivers. (this never made sense to me)
The problem, in my opinion is that microsoft is charging a tax on the photo.
wasteland was my favorite game of all time, i was completely addicted and played it so many times over...
neuromancer was a really good game too, funniest thing was thta the box said the movie was coming soon...
surprised noone has done a new version of wasteland over
I got the Sony commander. The pronto is cool but they dont have software that i can use and I just felt that I'd wait until they supported me better.
But without the cooler screen, they do somewhat the same thing. I love the macros, turn all components on and off, set center surrnound modes for certain inputs, definitely helps when switching video modes where you also have to change inputs (svideo to composite or component).
personally this was one of teh best purchases i made, i got rid of 8 remote controls... so i actually got some coffee table real-estate back... quite nice...

I've been using Onkyo systems for over 10 years and they have never screwed me in performance. They have many models that will fit your needs for your budget.
.Many now offer 3-6 video inputs with s-video and rca
.on screen menus (which knocks amazing amounts of time off of your initial setup and all the tweaks - don't believe me, you wont miss it if you dont have it, but it is great)
.some convert rca to svideo and better
.surround modes arent that important, mostly just gimmicky on all receivers, but onkyo has some good ones that you will use.
.multi room feeds
tons more stuff as well.
.also they are doingt 6.1 & 7.1 for both dolby digital and dts (on some units)
The speaker thing is weird though. Since you will be going with a multi speaker setup because of movies, you can afford to spend less then 50% of your budget on speakers. Dont get me wrong, there will be a difference, but you would be surprised with it. I currently use Acoustic Research satellite system. Looking to upgrade soon but they have an impressive range and they sound very tight.
If you plan to listen to a lot of 2 channel music on your system make sure you listen to the speakers in a showroom in both multi channel movie watching mode and 2 channel music mode... you might want to kill the salesman at the end of this deal unless you do this.
about siz months ago i was tracking down info on the star wars trilogy on dvd for a couple big ecommerce sites. the biggest reason in lucas's mind (which no longer holds true), is that he never liked the way dvd movies looked and sounded. he complained that there were to many artifacts, audio had a weird way of sounding, and some problems with audio syncing.
now this was true of a lot of earlier releases on dvd (a big disappointment was 2001). but there are brand spankin' new dvds on the market that have glitches in them (most of the problems i've been seeing and hearing now - are do to rushing the production of the dvd phase)
as for piracy, you can dupe copy protected tapes anyway (for a small one time fee). but he never really clarified himself on what he was going to do with his 'baby' on dvd.
personally, ill take a dvd that is less then perfect (to him), then a herpes-infected vhs tape that people have watched 20 times.
doesnt matter to me though, its not that high on my priority list to pick it up on dvd or vhs... but i guess it would make a good stocking stuffer from someone...

Here is the story on the GF4 Ti. Totally an option if you care to pay for it.
No link with this, but I am pretty sure that the last 2 Nvidia cards were first shown/announced at MacWorlds - at least the GF4 was.

A subscription to the magazine is even better though. Good reviewers. Nice range ($) of products, with no crap companies even making it in.
