That's hardly replacing a PDA. It might complement or redefine it, but not replace it. It's about like saying fuel cells will replace the automobile...:P
Which government will levy this tax and oversee its collection? How exactly will the tax pay for bandwith? And how effectively and efficiently is our government's current income form tax being spent?
It's not the size so much as the form factor. I don't recall even the really old cameras placing the lens far to one side of the chassis like this. If you can rotate it to put the lens on top, it would be better, but still seriously awkward.
The integrated camera is unfortunate unless they've designed swappable camera modules for it. I only skimmed the review, but I assume it's a lower end single CCD camera which means it's probably useful as geek toy of the day and that's about it.
Firewire is plenty fast assuming it is 25Mbps DV (which is plenty sufficient in terms of quality).
Unless you plan to use your laptop as a display models for a bunch of monkeys, it doesn't indicate anything (I mean, look at what the other shoppers are doing to ALL the display models in the store).
If your primary concerns are quality and storage capacity, then this obviously wouldn't be tha camera for you. It would be best suited for ENG/EFP use. Obviously, there's no "one size fits all" solution or else news, digital film, and hobbyists would all use the same cameras...
Claims like "750 lines" quite often refer to the ability of the optics to resolve detail. Generally the optics in any given camera are capable of more than the CCD's or other hardware (for obvious reasons).
You guys are missing the point here. OF COURSE printers exist. However, small portable (*self contained*) printers do not. A small printer that docks to a camera would really make a Polaroid camera obsolete.
What exactly is everyone doing with their handhelds that makes "color" and "multimedia" top priorities (other than using them as expensive toys that is)?
Where did this French urban legend begin? It seems to be everywhere now. First of all, the Japanese don't really use French. It would be an extremely unusual anomoly for them to suddenly decide to use the French word for animation, especially when early on there were heavy influences from the US.
Secondly, contractions of English words and phrases are common in Japanese. If you understand how English words are transliterated into Japanese, you can see that:
ANIMATION becomes:
A-NI-ME-SHYO-N (SHYO being SHI and YO contracted)
which in turn becomes:
A-NI-ME
Much like "personal computer" becomes PASOCOM, "convenience store" becomes CONBINI, and "television" becomes "TEREBI".
It is *coincidence* that anime and dessin-anime are pronounced in a similiar manner. Given Typical Japanese contraction methods (which are used for *English* as has already been pointed out) there is no way that "dessin-anime" would have been contracted into "ANIME".
I was actually glad that they didn't decide to overuse the cliched CG and computer assisted type shots. I really didn't want a "Beauty and the Beast ballroom"-type camera sweep every 5 minutes. It sticks out like a sore thumb. I think that they did a great job integrating the computer work with everything else.
I don't think it necessarily ruins it. It was obviously intended as a marketing ploy to give people a taste of what it's like to help boost their DVD sales.
Huh? I'm a rabid Ghibli fan, but I don't understand this. It's not like Disney was going to remake Miyazaki's work. Actually, their dubbing work on Mononoke was some of the best that I've heard so far. They did fall flat on marketing.

Personally, I'd be more concerned about the quality of the Core Crib itself as I'm not looking to hire the guy to develop a web site.
By the way, don't throw stones when you live in a glass house ("Of subject"???)...

Exactly -- quit running to "where the money is" and do what you enjoy.
Then don't tune to that channel. Geez. Do you complain about reading certain websites as well?

Or real support, which is what really matters with laptops.

Easy -- miniDV is 25Mbps (the camera writes to miniDV tape as mentioned).
The stuff you own...
Why were you using SCSI RAID? Plain old SCSI will suffice as long as you've got plenty of headroom above what DV requires (5MB/sec?).
Really, so you can get 4Mb broadband for only $40 a month?

GITS was good, but Blood had better lighting (overall) and color IMO. I think that they did a better all-around job with Blood.

Actually, it did screen at an AMC 30 screen multiplex in Houston. However, I think the only other theater showing it was the Angelika.

That's really great reasoning. X couldn't get Y to work, so no one should even bother . . .
