The subscription fee is the death for Replay and will be the death of TiVo if they don't change their business model.
I am not going to pay $10 / month for a glorified TV Guide. I could care less about the other crap that comes with the service. I've been quite pleased with my series 1 TiVo without the service.
I think it will be a cold day in the Valley before Apple go near handwriting recognition again. 8-)
Have you used handwriting recognition ? It's horrible; you can't do it mobile, you can't do it quickly, and some of us can barely scrawl anyway. Handwriting recognition is not where it's at for new interfaces.
Anyone that has ever used Newton 2.0's handwriting recognition will tell you that it was/is really amazing. It even recognized my terrible scrawling. It was mobile, it was quick and it worked wonderfully. The Newton just got a bad rep with the original release. The first one deserved it, but the systems with Newton 2.0 just rocked.
The hardcore user's (as you put it) are just fearing change. Designers tend to be the worst ones of all. Any little change in a tool they use for 8+ hours a day gives them a damn near heart attack. They've been seeing all the reports on the web how this is gone and that is missing and they freak. I've been using OS X for about a year now and I love it. They just need to actually get a chance to drive the thing.

Yeah linux users are soooo eager to spend money...
I agree with the Windows sentiment though. Luckily, it is coming.
