Did I miss something? I have iTMS and an iPod. if I want it in my stereo, I use a $4 cable or a $100 AP Express. If I want it on my home disc player or car disc player I burn a CD.
and my iPod *is* an MP3 player, in common parlance.
they think they can get another toy story out of some other team...
guy kawasaki said it a long time ago; (paraphrasing now) you don't put a bunch of programmers in a building, let them ride skateboards and wear bedroom slippers, feed them all the free juice their kidneys can stand and expect to get another macintosh. it won't happen. ditto this.
hell, dreamworks has been trying to clone pixar for how many years (bug's life/ants, monsters/shrek, nemo/sharktale) and they still don't get it. you just don't put big names in your voice talent stable and think that makes up for lousy animation and thin stories.
paraphrasing another really creative guy, you can either build a better mousetrap, or build a mediocre mousetrap and market the hell out of it.
i'll take disney originals (emperor, lilo) and original fox (ice age, robots) over dreamworks rehash any day.
they're doing it because even a mediocre sequel makes 80% of the original gross. if they had a soft spot in their hearts for woody and buzz, they'd walk on their lips to emeryville and hand this back to them, extend the deal and realize they have a chance to stop pissing off the people who made them what they used to be.
Still hard to beat. Low threshold, no ceiling. Go old school and just build, or get a Mindstorms kit and you can use all your existing LEGO and add anything else to it.
iBook Composite & Stereo to VCR thru home theater receiver to TV Watch & listen works with two button presses. But since I mostly just listen, & since watch is a bit of a waste (Given a $100 Sony DVD player w/component video...) Will soon move to Airport express and forget watching. Of course I have little or no stored video to worry about.
one of 'em had nine fingers, another was balding and soiled with fish scales, and two were clutching long clay pipes and had tree bark under their nails...
This article begins with the musings of a guy from FIAT?
The same FIAT who - judging from the rust rate - apparently used to use their cars as pontoons and anchors on the salt-water boat trip from Italy to US?
The same FIAT who's name is an acronym for "Fix It Again, Tony!"?
That FIAT?
Pardon me if I don't finish reading.... OK - it says "Prius" somewhere further down... I'll get back to you.

...Who Knows What's Biting Him" was the name of a great old book about roughing it.
In it, Richard Frisbie realizes / explains that freshwater fish have to process a lot of fluids to maintain their salt balance. This means freshwater fish piss a lot. An enormous amount compared to dessicated sorts like humans. A great portion of any freshwater pond/lake/stream you've assumed to be pristine is more like dilute fish pee.
"The idea for a BEST competition originated several years ago when two Texas Instruments engineers, Ted Mahler and Steve Marum, were serving as guides for Engineering Day at their company site in Sherman. Together with a group of high school students, they watched a video of freshmen building a robot in Woody Flowers' class at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The high school students were so interested that Ted and Steve said, "Why don't we do this?""
Um, they've been living in a cave for ten years and never saw "FIRST" and just came up with "BEST"?
this is Stop & Shop - they need a UI tweak

if you've ever used their self-checkout, it's pretty weak - it's far too complicated compared to at least two other new england retailers' methods - it uses a very tricky light sensor chain to track purchases as they go to the bagging area, and the bagging area is too easy to fill. Ther is pitiful integration between the touch screen that you use for most thngs and the debit/credit card reader - the whole thing was patched together - there is no flow or path of the things you'll need to use - cash receiver, change slot, pin buttons, etc... the touch screen asks what sort of card you're using then the card reader does too - a giant red x usually means cancel what i'm doing, but at chas back time it means no cash back and there's a cancel button.
It's too much like trying to learn the macarena during the wedding reception.
Point being, if they do this like the did self-checkout, they're in for a bumpy ride.
Are just so much moden kabuki - overblown, overly loud, exagerrated, scripted, and simply interpreting things for us that in this case, we should have heard somewhere else under more truthful conditions. In pre-massmedia Japan it was amusing and useful. Here it's barely amusing. Even the debates aren't debates, though in 3, Bush simply started talking out to Kerry at one point, answering him directly outside the rules (another reason to think there was a wire).
so you know the thickness of the material is a big deal in what stress it can take - so you know that the cd/phonebook comment is a false dilemma... BTW do you own a cube? we have 8 - we settled that "crack" issue a long time ago.
we're gonna need you to go ahead and implement everything in MHT. So if you could just go ahead and get the docs on how to read MHT docs... they're on our web site in MHT format... yeahhhh - that'd be great. And we'll need the TPS reports by the fall, too.
i have (we have three of them at our center) they are worse than a regular one - but there the tradeoff is against collecting six remotes. they mostly cost too much. but they're not analogous to a music or photo player they're not horrible, and a palm device is in this sense like a big remote given its soft buttons that are in fact used for music and other controls - so plenty of people use these - palm & pocketpc music controls are on screen, and when you're dealing with pictures you're already looking at the screen. might not be as bad as you think, definitely worth a comparison to the non-scroll ipod controls and vs the palm controls... mapping a recessed screen to the ipod scroll wheel micht provide just enough physical feedback on location to make it work...

they're setting up their own cg studio...

it says so right on the specs - how can they lose?
They'll sell one to every kiddie with a modded Civic so it'll match the resst of the blue stuff that makes their cars go faster.
...on what are the soylent-green-ray discs made of?
I saw this back in 1995 - some guy named Linus Larrabee. Didn't he fail to go public cuz of something about a girl?
one of 'em had nine fingers, another was balding and soiled with fish scales, and two were clutching long clay pipes and had tree bark under their nails...
I can get a whole hypo-allergenic horse (North America Curly Horse) for about the same $3500...

Note the entire section on new notation on how to read and write how to use keyboard keys.

You can't get all the people in a building to agree to walk across the street for ice cream.
Never mind this deal...
