No it's not possible to import DVI or HD Component video, at least not without hardware that costs many thousands of dollars. 1080i over DVI would come in at just over 177MB/s (1920*1080*29.97fps*3bpp). It's just way too much data to deal with.
Those only work if your video card supports component out. I know a number of ATI cards on the PC side do, I'm not certain about the Mac. There's nothing about having a dual-link DVI port that will give you component out though, it is a function of the analog output pins on the video card itself.
Because they don't. Both of those spellings are romanizations of the Japanese alphabets (yes plural, there are two phonetic alphabets). A lot of books will also now spell Tu as Tsu. Futon is spelled Huton when romanized because in Japanese there is no F or H sound, the sound is a mix of the two same with L and R and the cause of many jokes about the way native Japanese speakers pronounce English words. Personally I think Japanese is great for spelling. I know very little, but I can spell a great deal if I can hear the word clearly.
And then a good number of applications just don't work. I forget the link, but Microsoft themselves found that about 50% of all Windows software would not work out of the box unless you're an admin. I used to setup computer machines, and the amount of permissions I had to change was insane. You'd be amazed at how many programs want to write to c:\program files\... .
Microsoft also bought Internet Explorer, that's given away for free. They really don't need to make the money back with all the cash they have. The positive PR from giving it away for free could easily make up for the cost of the company.
4G 20gig. I'm talking about in the list of songs itself, not while the song is playing. It's quite possible that they updated it for the iPod photo, everyone I know who has an iPod lists that as one of their biggest complaints.
Because the interface could use some improvement. Scrolling song names when browsing would be great. It's really annoying to have 5 things in a list with the only way to tell them apart being to play them.
Wow, what an insightful comment! Everyone starts out somewhere bucko. What if your show is only ok? By your logic cheap high quality digital camcorders should have no reason to exist. After all, if your show is excellent you can afford a proper film camera.
Sheesh, some people just can't appreciate creativity.
There's a setting in iTunes that says "enable disk mode" or something like that. If you check it, the IPod is available as a disk drive (I forget if it is on by default). I think there's also a button combination you can hold down that will do this straight from the IPod, but I'm not certain what it is with the 4th gen IPods. On a Mac (from what I've heard) you can even use the IPod as your boot drive. Not 100% certain why you'd want to, but I'm sure some people have come up with some interesting uses for that feature.
I've had my IPod for a few months now, and with a decent amount of usage I have yet to have the battery run out. It came close, once, while driving to Canada from PA.
* No DRM
Like the other poster said, you don't have to use any DRM'd files. You can throw all of the unprotected AAC or mp3 files you want on the thing. Also, Apple does let you do quite a bit with the files. You can share them on I think up to 5 devices now, and you can burn them to cd. I have yet to run into a situation where I wanted to do something with files I bought from the ITMS that I wasn't able to.
* More colors
Well you can buy that hideous U2 black and red IPod now.
* Decent remote
The inline remote Apple sells is pretty decent, it's just frustrating that they make you buy a new set of head phones with it.
* Digital I/O
Not really what the IPod is intended for. It's a portable personal music player, it's not meant to be connected to your home stereo, it's meant to be connected to head phones.
There are plenty of things I would change about the IPod, the first thing that comes to mind is for it to scroll song titles while you are browsing your library. Very often you get several tracks in a row with the exact same name and no way to tell them apart other than listening. This is especially true when it comes to audio books.
Google isn't presenting the image as their own work. They also provide small images that are all but useless for any purpose other than as a thumbnail. In the example of taking a high-res image and shrinking it for an article, the new image would still be large enough to make out detail (otherwise it would be pointless to include the image anyway).
"For anyone to say that [random US president] was anything but a liar..."
Meh, I'm sure you get my point. Then again, lying about a joint, or who did what with which part of your anatomy is, imho, not really a matter worthy of public debate.
Radeon 8500 and higher (maybe not some of the budget cards) all support some form of HDTV component out dongle. For the 8500 it's pretty much the same as the DVI to VGA adapter, it just sends a signal to the card to tell it to start outputting a tv signal instead of an RGB signal.
Most (all?) Radeons and reasonably new nVidia cards can do 1080i just fine. It might take some fine tuning to get your TV to lock on the signal, but it is possible.
No, it's not. I just do a lot with my computer. I frequently have many many apps open and do several things at once. Windows sucks for multi-tasking. I don't know if it's true or not, but it certainly seems like Windows XP will do it's best to keep as much memory free as possible by swapping everything that isn't being actively used out to disk, so when you switch between apps everything grinds to a halt as it reloads it into ram. And try moving a large amount of data around on the hard drive and see what happens. It falls apart.
I'm sure if you did nothing but web browsing, or running a compiler, or any one app XP can cut it just fine. But for those of us who use our computers to do more than one thing at a time, it sucks.
I'm not saying it's blazing fast. I'm saying it's quite comfortable to use, and that just running basic apps I don't see the slow down that I get in XP when I have several things open. I think Windows just has this nasty habit of swapping everything to disk in an attempt to keep as much real memory free as possible.
www.electoral-vote.com is showing Kerry with 51% and Bush with 38% in New Jersey. That data is also consistent with the Dem/Rep split the state saw in 2000. Their source is Eagleton-Rutgers from Oct. 17th. To me 13% is a pretty commanding lead. I'd have to say that Bush has no hope of winning New Jersey based on the poll data I'm seeing.

June. It will come out in June, just barely 1st half of '05. I base this on a prediction I pulled from my ass.
I'm thinking the lawsuits from people getting serious burns on their legs might prevent this idea from working.

Except it appears the Apple website is down. Stupid rabid fans. Oh well, I have 11 days before I buy me a Mini Mac.

I assure you that you can see the music dir under XP. I'm looking at \iPod_Control\Music\F00 right now and see a bunch of my mp3s.

Do you honestly think MS or AOL can promise you that no copy of any of your e-mail exists on an archived backup tape somewhere?
I've actually had the ads in gmail point me to stuff I was interested in. Most of the time I don't even notice them though.

The HD3000 *will* supoort HD cable. Support is supposed to come in the next month or two.
