Do you read without your lips moving? I don't think so. The prices are going DOWN not up. Maybe you should go back to Sesame Street - I hear Grover can help you out with the difference between 'up' and 'down'
You are seriously out of touch with reality. Use me as an example
I have approx 2.5 gigs of music. My collection is pretty stagnant. I do not want a 10+gig iPod because I will never fill it with music. I already have a portable firewire drive so I don't really need the iPod for that. I can not justify paying $300+ for a super walkman, but I would pay $100-$150 for one.
Also, I know my neices and nephews will ALL get one of these $100 miniPods(if true). They currently do now own a single iPod between them. Sounds like a lot of sales/desires met with this miniPod.
And I'm sure that the ONLY place to get news in New York is the NYTimes? A more honorable newspaper has never been produced! HAHAHAHAHA!! Get your news from one source and turn into what they want, a non thinking automaton who laps up their editorial slant without question.
Why sell a prodeut for $100 when people are buying in droves at $299 - $499?
So the idea of releasing them for xmas is a horrible one indeed.
I think that the timing of the cheaper miniPods coincides nicely with the $100 mill Pepsi give-a-way starting in February.
It's all a game, the game called 'Maximize Profits'. And selling only the current iPods for xmas make you a big fat winner winner chicken dinner. Also, how many people are going to return their $150 128 meg POS flash MP3 player to Best Buy to get one of these new miniPods? I'd say more than a few.
I have an HP laser printer and I purchased thier piece of garbage Parallel to USB printer adaptor. The thing was very buggy for OS 9, and they haven't done shit with OS X. Almost as bad as UMAX and their horrible scanners.
Mr. Gordon said that his company's security researchers, working with the Justice Department, were unable to find any actual working software that could be downloaded from the LoverSpy site after paying the fee. He seemed less than stunned by the notion that a product advertised via spam might not be all that it was claimed to be.
We always wonder who the idiots who answer spam emails are. Looks like we found them right here.
Not hardly Mr. 'I got broadband and you don't'. I live 4 miles from AOL's and MCI's WORLD FRICKIN HEADQUARTERS, and I can not get broadband. DSL? nope. I'm within the area, but the wires apparently wrap around their CO like 100 times before it goes to any neighborhoods. Cable Modem? No way. My provider is Adelphia and that incestuous CEO/COO/etc.. bunch would rather bilk the company out of millions instead of bringing value to their customers. Satellite? I plan to move in less than a year, so I don't feel like signing a 1 to 2 year contract. I also don't want pings in the 2 second neighborhood, pay extra for the special equipment, and pay $100 a month. ISDN? I checked and can only get about 120K down and 75K up for only $80 a month.
In conclusion, just because you have it doesn't mean everyone in a semipopulated area has it. And believe me, there are a shitload of people where I live.
While the cable and local phone providers sit with their thumbs up there ass' by NOT getting High Speed Internet Access to the rest of the country, this prediction will fall flat on it's face.
I live about 4 miles from AOL and MCI's world headquarters, and I can not get HSIA. What a GD joke. These ass clowns are going to ruin any shot of having the internet be anything other than a place to get stock quotes if they do not hurry up with deploying access to the rest of us. Even those of us who are in their back yards.
Could be that comics today are more about politics and 'how screwed up can we make this hero' than about a good story?
Gone are 'True, Justice, and the American way' and here are 'Angst, Look at how flawed I am, and as Anti-American as you can possibly get.
No one in comics does things because it is the right thing to do, they do it because they were forced to, or 'doing the right thing' is secondary.
Iron Man is a drunk, Batman is a criminal vigalaty instead of just an outsider doing the right thing, Thor is ridding the world of all nukes destroying countries national defenses.
Face it, comics today are about 'look at my angst', Liberal/hate America first pieces of garbage. The industry is dying because people want to read about good over evil. Now-a-days you can't even tell the good from the bad, and you feel dirty for even reading.
The only downside to this approach is that it involves opening the case and inserting a card, anathema for many Mac people.
Not since the advent of the B&W, and before that Apple invited people to muck around inside. If you are basing your knowledge on 1984 information, then I have to question your opinion.
The CPU may be less expensive, but the other new components are wildly more expensive than last, last, last year's components in the current G4 lineup.
Don't forget, they also had ThinkSecret(If memory serves) remove the pictures/descriptions of the fake iWalk device. That thing was about as far away from reality as possible and it still got Apple Legal's panties in a bunch.
... could be people are just sick and tired of the Biased media constantly bashing Bush and any move he makes. The people realize that we are at war with forces who targe every single man, woman, and child in the US, but the media does nothing but bash every move that has been made. The media complained that that Afganistan would be the Vietnam of the new century, the media then complained about the "horrible" conditions in Guantanimo Bay, Cuba. The truth couldn;t be further from the truth. Look at how the US bends over backwards to make the conditions first class, while our enemy's beat and murder Daniel Perl and anyone they can get their hands on.
I could go on with example after example of the garbage the media prints, but the people realize that the media prints/reports crap and they are getting tired of it. The people are just getting sick and tired of the media bashing everyhting that is America and what it stands for. The media would have you believe Palastinians are victims in every way instead of reporting that Palastinians are targeting women and children by attacking civilians.
Hmmm, I wonder why fox news is kicking CNN's ass in the ratings? Could be that people are sick of the Biased Liberal Agenda.

Just the first couple when I did a searc hon ebay for USB scanner. Yes there are over 100 USB scanners. My point was that USB has been the biggest selling points for peripherals for Macs for 3 years. Yes there have bee FireWire scanners around for a little while, but what average Joe is going to spend 4X the price ofa USB scanner?
Yeah right. I love the way VueScan claims to work with most scanners. That is total horse shit. It works with most SCSI, some Firewire and about 1% of the USB scanners on the market.
Your statement should read, if you're lucky VueScan may work, to some degree, with a small amount of scanners that have been targeted to the Mac in the past 3 years. Since USB was the key to scanner sales for Mac users for 3+ years now, this software does not help much.

Superior? If by superior you mean inferior to just about anything out there, then yoes you are correct.

Which in turn looks like a black and white rip off of the all silver craft "Steve Austin" cracked up in.
Then they tried using a Ti powerbook and the range dropped to 20 feet. Grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!
That's true in ohh so many ways - Education, Social Security, etc....

Yawn. Why work on the G4 now Motorola? You've gotten this far with putting zero effert into it.
Here is the real roadmap:
1. Apple busts their hump working with IBM to get the 970 out the door.
2. Apple pays lipservice to Motorola until the entire line transitions to 970, 980, etc...
3. The second the entire line is free of the anchor known as Motorola's G4, Apple blasts Motorola for their ineptitude.
Will the total $ gained/lost by IBM/Motorola mean all that much to either company? No.
Will IBM's commitment to Apple help Apple? YES.
Did Motorola's stepping on their dicks for so long hurt Apple? YES

Yes there have bee FireWire scanners around for a little while, but what average Joe is going to spend 4X the price ofa USB scanner?
Easy. Install OS X on a Mac and try to use the printer. Does it work? If the answer is No, then send in your $4 to Epson to get it to work.
BTW, if the same thing happened on an XP machine, you could just download a driver from their site.
Is that any simpler for you?
Yeah right. I love the way VueScan claims to work with most scanners. That is total horse shit. It works with most SCSI, some Firewire and about 1% of the USB scanners on the market.
