Better yet, you can use adblock extension for Mozilla SeaMonkey/FireBird. The latest development branch already can block page elements BEFORE they load. alk about speeding up surfing, when you don't have to wait on doubleclik, googlesyndication, clickserve, hitbox, trafficmp, etc...
It also can block flash, iframe and java, javascript as well...
I agree. There seem to be a complete paradox stated in their marketing material. Have it automatically sync (while you sleep). Well that is nice, however my current MP3 catalog is 25GB, how are you going to sync it to 1.5GB (automatically)?
Wireless is nice, and iPod could use a wireless dock also. Killer accessoriy, if there is one...
Also think about the speed. The upload 25GB of music on wireless (802.11b = 11Mbps) versus FireWire (480Mbps), you can see how it takes the whole night to have your music transferred... It is true that you anly need to do that once, and updates are much smaller.

If all your garnments have built in RFID tags, it is just a question of installing RFID sensor all over the place, and have an uber-company evaluate all of the data, and your location can be tracked to a minitue detail. Would that worry you? (Than again almost everyone is toting a cellphone around - but at least that can be switched off)
See what happened to tolltags, remember that lawyer murdered about a month ago? His movements were track post-mortem through the tolltag...
It is possible that Apple will run major discounting once every other month, where you get $50 or $100 MIR for the Minis. That would work, and would allow them to sell more music throuogh iTunes MS. Time will tell.
It is likely that it uses the Cornice Stroage Element (see yeserday's news), which is like a harddisk, without all the extra circuitry (like buffering, etc). So it will not work directly as a CF card...
No, you can use your cash card at multiple banks' machines. Japan may be backward in terms of ATMs only having hours of business from 8am to 7pm or so on average, or most refusing to accept foreign-issued credit cards, but for the major banks, all have usage agreements with one or more competitor.
When I was in Japan I tried my US issued ATM (not credit card) which has: a) MasterCard Logo, b) MAC logo, c) PLUS logo. Did not work at all (I had my Japanese friend help me with the kanji menus.)
While the very same card has worked in Hungary, Great Britain, Czech Republic, Austria in various ATMs.
Thanks for illuminating the speed issue, I have not thought about that, the wording of the blurb was quite misleading.
Taking into account the fact that Japan is possibly the last of the developed countries where you can use your ATM card ONLY at your bank's machine, it is more han likely that DoCoMo's smartcard would only work at DoCoMo's POS terminals, plus other places which have (possibly exclusive) business relationship (ie. clients) with DoCoMo.
Let's wait for ISO, ASA, or some standarization body, this won't cut it.
BTW, in Finland and most of Western Europe, (and in Japan too) you can pay for your snack purchases by you phone (no need for the smartcard), so what is exactly news about this??
To just change the email system around isn't feasable.
1. New RFC 2. Mozilla Mail 3. Microsoft Outlook and OE 4. Rest follows...
If 3. can be achieved, the rest is trivial. 6-10 months all it would take. Email can be kept for the mean time...
This is far cry from infeasible...

You cannot realisticly project your good 2 years of experience for your entire lifetime of let's say 50 years. You are saying that it worked for 4% of time time (and counting), well that is not an assurance I would feel secure by.
Of course the companies advertise it heavily, since it would certainly reduce their costs of mailing, etc.
I chose a half-way solution, where I get paper bills, and I pay them online. Works fine for me, and I get to keep the paper trail.

I like your sig. Could be a good motto for Howard Dean.
Any source for Arctic Diamond 5? I heard it is on sale (50% off) for $200 per 0.3 oz.

This would be really cool in YOUR CAR! Park it at home, have you wireless extend to your garage, and sync wirelessly...
You example is also nice.

The desperation to insert 'Bush/Rumsfeld/Ashcroft is evil' in every item shows how much the Left is falling further into irrelevancy.

Let me add to your list:
- Kilobit per sec (compression bitrate)
- KHz (sample rate)
- bit resolution (16 bit/channel)
- stereo/mono/5.1/dts/Pro Logic II/THX?
- etc.
Yeah, but...

I would actually go for SATA. Speed comparable to SCSI (150 MByte/s) with a puny little cable...
