OK it is quite clear now that this will fail hard at that price point. I think they are just trying to get the pieces in place for the next gen where it will be integrated and are pushing this out the door to take the attention off the fact that we are overdue for some next gen hardware talk.
Sometimes, i just dont understand people's motivation for this sort of thing. Copernicus was a great man, why on earth do we need to dig up his corpse and rebury him to honor his achievements? The mere fact that we discuss him and his work 500 years later is the greatest honor. There are times were circus and spectacle are needed, this is not one of them.
The difference is that in tinkering with your Prius you could very well damage real world physical parts. Tinkering with an Ipad carries a significantly lower risk of fouling the hardware through software.
I have an aversion to storing it simply because then I need to make sure its sequestered at all times from the rest of the media files i have. There are A LOT of programs that excel at finding every little piece of media on your machine. Cant even zip stuff to do a simple hide, have to rar it or better just so that the OS cant trivially open it.
Files are zipped as a container for all the files. There are also transmission advantages to having a large single contiguous file versus many many small files. Zipping a bunch of files isnt always about making them smaller.
Itunes on windows sucks, thats why. I dont need a massive, bloated piece of software to listen to music. Winamp 2.x was the pinnacle of software MP3 players IMHO.
Why do people store Pr0n? I will never in my life understand the need for 100 GB of personal porn. There is so much out there for free, why bother storing anything but very choice examples?
If you are worried about your IP being known, then you are doing something VERY wrong. This is like being worried that telemarketers found your phone number in the White Pages.
Wikipedia is NOT an unbiased source. There is heavy editing and censorship, even editing for political gains. (repeated scrubbing of David Rhodes wikipedia page, removing any references that he was, at the time, kidnapped.
Wikipedia is not committed to facts. The David Rhodes media blackout proved that wikipedia is political and not an unbiased resource. We simply want facts from wikipedia, nothing more, nothing less.
The Ipad is meant to consume media, not for general computing. That is its primary job. If you need to print, use a workstation. The proper tool for the job. The ipad is far more analogous to a gaming console then a general use computer.
LG just put out a nice line of 2 and 4 Bay NAS. I picked up a 1TB, 2 bay NAS(1TB x1 HDD) with DVD-Rewriter and iSCSI support for $200. Has Itunes server, can pass it torrent files, print server, 3 USB ports and a media reader (no CF though..). LCD panel with menu system and buttons for limited computer-less operations like backups from flash drives, etc. 20MB/s writes, up to 40MB/s reads, I love it. My old Linksys NAS 200(4MB/s read and write) is now doing duty as the offsite backup at my in-laws house.
The mobile market is ON FIRE. We are seeing all the big players shuffle and shove each other to give birth to the appliance internet. This is why we see Apple stories every day, because they have a HUGE mindshare in this arena at the moment. The iPad is only a turd if you were wanting a full-on x86 tablet.
First of all, children are NOT stripped of their rights in a school. They may have a reduced right set, but only as it pertains to 'In Loco Parentis'. As a government run institution, a school cannot legally make rules that strip away constitutionally protected rights outside of the 'in loco parentis' framework.
You mean like how MPEG-LA thinks they can dictate what you can do with your video if you shot it with one of their codecs? Any camera you buy that uses H.264 has licensing on it precludes any commercial use, which is quite frankly absurd.

If you own a licensed copy of the ROM, its not piracy....

A wiimote can be used as a Bluetooth HID, fits easily in a pocket....
The problem with Apple TV is that everything is paid for. They have pretty much zero free content.
Any sound that doesnt come from an explicit play/start/engage/makeitso button. Thou shalt not play audio unbidden!

HP didnt buy DEC, they bought Compaq, who was quite busy squandering it.

WebOS is going the be the corporate internet appliance OS of choice. HP didnt buy Palm just to sit on it.

you forgot 'start' at the end. And yes it is also the dev mode unlock for Palm Pre.

Which is just a miniaturized, encapsulated reel to reel.
But can any of those besides the touch run the APPS? iPad's killer feature are its apps. The hardware is quite secondary
