Encoding takes much more processing power than decoding.
true. but the MP3 processing chip in the iPod is capable of real-time encoding.
the iPod has a mysterious connector around the headphone jack... it has three extra contacts. perhaps they were thinking of including this feature and decided against it at the last moment.
Show me a journalist who signs an NDA, and I'll show you a journalist whose on food stamps the following week, and without an NDA there's no "lawsuit".
dude, you really don't know what you're talking about. tech journalism is much different than 60 Minutes.
Am I the only one that wishes Apple would dump Ive's "style" in favor of the classy NeXT machines?
yes. those things were huge. they were the size of a small fridge. i rather have something like this, that i can push out of the way when i don't need it.
How is it "Screwing up" when they're reporting news, and doing it before other sites and news sources do it?
well, it's great for us. but they probably were given access to products and info based on their signing an NDA, which would preclude them from jumping the gun like this. so they screwed up in the legal sense.
They "broke the story", which is what journalists are paid to do.
er, no. they aren't paid to do that when they'll cost their company thousands of dollars in lawsuits.
The whole point, Mr. Anonymous Fscking Moron, is that you can't prove that your memory evolves because you can't prove that your past experience isn't fake, nor can you prove that you will have any future experiences. Try to find some imagination, loser.
so your argument is that it's less questionable that ROM might exist than the ideas of having a past and a possible future?
Both devices have a U.S. trademark and are not the only ones with that honor. Women's shoe brand Nine West also has a trademark on Treo for use "in the field of shoes and of accessories, namely handbags, belts and hosiery," according to the Patent and Trademark Office's Web site.
There have been other Treos in the past as well. Treo, with a long vowel mark over the "e," as Handspring uses it, was trademarked at one time for use as a pesticide, although that mark is no longer active. And, in the 1960s, Treo was trademarked as the name for "soap impregnated in paper tissues for general household cleaning purposes."
errr, thanks C|Net. that's what i go to your site to learn about. expired trademarks in the fields of pesticides and women's shoes.
alright, whoever modded me down for this was being a little overzealous. please take into account the fact that the previous post that makes mine redundant might not have appeared when i started typing mine before punishing me for it, please!
didn't Steve Jobs just say something like, "Any security scheme that's based on secrets will be broken sooner or later." about the iPod's lax copy management scheme?
so did Apple do this on purpose, or are they just being hypocrical? seems like the latter.
That's the funniest thing I've read this morning. Especially with the poor support on your OS of choice for ttf panels. XP sucks too in this regard but OS 10.1 is even worse. Then factor in the driver support not being there for the king of graphic card vendors at the consumer level (nvidia for panels true color, colour vibrance whatever) and it's even more funny. I won't even speak about the warf in OS 10.0 compared to win2K speed and functionality wise. Hint it has yours beat there too.
all of which has jack to do with Quartz, the display engine. what's your point?
spaces in disk names are what causes this problem in the first place. so if i view it on my Mac, will it erase my hard drive, too? or maybe it'll delete the Internet. damn, Macs are dangerous.
.wri file?? am i the only one that finds it ironic that the method of circumventing a widely used proprietary protocol is written in a document using another closed protocol?

so is it pronounced "Ex-play" or "Ten-play"?

not really. at least i'm willing to risk my reputation with this community.
The slab was a pizzabox 14" deep, 14" wide, and 2.5" tall.
oh, point taken. sorry.
but you *could* fit a lot of *pizza* in that amount of space..
Why was this guy modded down? His opinion is more relevant than that of the authority-fearing would-be-Matlock parent poster.
AUTHORITY FEARING? you're the Anonymous Coward, there, bub.

...i wonder if they'll be able to countersue for medical expenses related to removing Steve Jobs' foot out of their ass.
you have nice friends. i don't. we get into wars where we warn each other off IM on a daily basis.
now to go download the exploit and really sock it to 'em!

i get +1, Funny, and that's Overrated?

slashdot effect takes hold. looks like Hardware Extreme's hosting hardware isn't too extreme.
hell, my current computer is a Mac. :)
the difference: i would rather be advertised to than sued, thanks.

"Uh, why does my grilled cheese look like a waffle on one side? And why does it say 'QWERTYASDF' on it?"
I'm sorry, but 10.0 was a very... incomplete release.
oh, that was YOUR fault? well, OK, apology accepted.
