first, there are a lot of people with more than 40 gigs of music.... second, the iPod is also a firewire drive. it can be used for transporting large files (graphics, audio, video, whatever). it is also possible to boot off of OS X installed on the iPod, so you can dump your whole HD on there. The early lists of 10.3 features mentioned a feature called "home on iPod" that later vanished. it seemed you could copy/sync your whole home dir onto your ipod and login to it from any OS X running Mac. if that's really coming, the more space for music AND home dir, the better.
i had a housemate that would buy movies from a guy operating off a folding table on his college campus. i can tell you most all of the movies he would bring home were copied from some sort of screener or advance. i am not sure i ever actually saw one that was filmed via camcorder. a few had the occasional banner on the bottom declaring it was a promo tape and to call 1-800-no-copies or whatever....
well i am sure the Class A filed to cover a large area, including the small area the Class D station covered. If it's Class D then it is under 100 watts. The new commercial station is probably a few thousand watts or more, so it's harder for them to fit in the FM puzzle. That's why *most* Class D stations that had support fromt he School, or whomever funds them, refiled for power increases and became Class A almost 25 years ago. The station i do work at, WKDU Philadelphia, jumped to 110 Watts from 10 Watts back in 1981 to avoid being bulldozed like this. Initially back in the 70s the wording made it seem like any station under 100 Watts was toast so most little stations freaked out and applied to be 100+ watts. The situation wasn't as bad as it initially seemed, but in the end the stations that stayed Class D were told they pretty much had no squatters rights if a Class A station wanted to stomp on their broadcast area. I do not know the exact legal classification that makes a station Class A, but WKDU was Class A when we were 110 Watts (now 800), non-commercial and owned/operated by Drexel University. I guess it is not much more than jumping over 100 Watts? hell, we were not even stereo till about 1990.
it happened to WHHS Haverford HighSchool... the oldest High School radio station in the United States.....
They too are Class D and in the way of a Class A that wants to start up somewhere in South Jersey.... The FCC rules offer them nothing much since they never became Class A. They have to yield to other stations. The only chance is for them to find another frequency to move to (not a simple or cheap thing really).
let alone the electricity use and heat that a PC produce compared to an AP. it might not be a lot, but when you consider you will keep the machine running mostly 24/7 it adds up..... unless you live somewhere like Las Vegas where electricity costs virtually nothing.
yes, IE is quite secure in M$-windows desktop/laptop browser dominance. besides Opera there are a few other browsers for computers...... but the cell phone/PDA market is still up in the air. M$ has their own OS for cell phones and PDAs, and if they can show people that Opera's offerings for devices doesn't work so well, it may help their case. Add to the fact that EVERY Verizon DSL customer is now considered an MSN subscriber their numbers are growing (on paper).
maybe i'm wrong, but unless it's something personal i would think Mozilla is still a bigger threat to IE than Opera in the PC realm. I would guess this is for some emerging market.... being cellphone/PDAs or some other embedded devices (cable boxes or whatever?).
what are you talking about? Preferences -> Advanced -> keep iTunes music folder organized
i do that and my MP3 directory (that is just a partition on a second drive) is organized as: Artist/Album/Song
what more do you need than that? last time i looked at a friend's winamp MP3 directory it was every MP3 file sorted by the file's name ALL in one huge directory.
what happened to the plan to move all TV air boroadcasts to UHF? that was the intention as of a few years ago and open VHF for wifi or cell phones or something. i think the idea had something to do with moving analog TV to UHF, and prepare for it to be relatively short term till digital TV broadcasting comes of age. TVs in the USA will be required to have digital tuners very soon. i think it is first TVs over 30" or 35" then a year or two or three later all TVs sold in the US have to have digital tuners. the planned obselescence of a TV is something like 5 years (less than 10) so they figure they can boot the analog TV transmissions in that time. yes, i know your grandmother has used the m TV since 1968, but the FCC does not believe it.
come on, everyone knows the Vikings traveled to the americas and back to their homeland way before Columbus. Then again the native americans made it here (America) way before any of them, but i guess they don't get the glory since they actually stayed and established successful civilizations living off the land. bah.
It almost sounds like this may be an added feature for Expose' if it works out. Then again Apple had a ton of software patents that don't seem to make it into software releases.
it almost sounds like you can somewhat read a window while adding text to another.... like copying text or taking notes to another window (application?) while reading from one. i guess it would be nice in cases where Copy&Paste is not useful. adding info to a database/addressbook comes to mind quickly. because of the fields being broken up you can't just copy and paste the whole thing.
what about people with more than one machine? i don't just mean a family with a few computers, but i know some people that still keep their older machine around for whatever reason. they may test software on it or put it in another part of the house or whatever. technically they have to buy windows for each machine to keep it current. i'm not talking about keeping a 486 running for kicks, i mean a gamer that upgrades every 2 years or so and their "older" machine is still faster than some bargin box and is capable of running the current M$ OS. i wonder how many of those people really bought 2 or 3 boxes of XP.
good point... i have heard of that happening. one example was during a Verizon strike some wires were pulled out or cut and people lost DSL service till the thing was resolved with the striking workers.
they have bends on there that sell less than 1/10 the records Cradle of Filth does. It's not Apple's problem labels have not gotten their songs up there, they just choose not to (yet?).
according to some music store shootout on TechTV yesterday that's about the top... they said Apple had 500,000 but the other 2 of the top 3 had 500,000 and 700,000 songs.... so i dont know if apple added 200,000 overnight or they had outdated info.
i think the others were Napster2 and RealRhapsody (streaming only)... one of them had 500k and one had 700k
the software update is generally not the first place to get updates like this.... i don't know why it works like that but it does. it should show up through those methods later today (if not already)
on the day Apple declared the iTumes MusicStore would support Windows they already accounted for something like 90% or 95% of all online music sales........ seeing as that was ALL online music sales coming from the 5% or so Mac users........ that says something. i am not 100% sure what it says. it says something about Mac users, or the store or both or...? no matter how you spin that data, it's obvious the iTMS works to a degree that customers will come back.
that being said i should go use up the last of my pepsi bottlecaps! (they expire this week)
i saw it last night and i will just say this.... it is a lot chattier than Vol. 1. There is more dialog and story and less graphic fighting and action scenes. it's not just the rest of the movie, it has a different feel to it all together. but i liked it.
side note, there is talk of a Vol. 3 being made in about 20 years. QT said he may film some stuff now with the current cast for flashback scenes, then shelf it for 20 years. i guess he wants Kill Bill to be his "man with no name" trilogy. cool!
actually the best/safest way to get your true max heartrate is to get a stress test from your Doctor. as long as you are employed or have health insurance it *should* be covered. some people can be well under the generic numbers, and if you have not exercised since gradeschool and have been living on pizza... you may have very clogged arteries.
even if you don't get a stress test, the heartrate monitor is invaluable. you can get ones as cheap as $30 from some places (try bike shops or look online). you can get ones that will give you data for calorie burn too. it might make you think of how far you have to run to burn off every bottle of Jolt. when you are starting out to exercise after a long stop you will probably overdo it and get frustrated..... screw looking at how long it takes you to run a mile, that's almost worthless information at first. your heartrate is a much better measure of your exercise. over time you will run faster and faster at the same heartrate. also keeping tabs on your heart could save your life if you have some health issue.
i get the impression they will be making models with 250cc engines all the way up to 1 liter models..... i don't think it's some crazy inline 4 that you can selectively turn off cylinders.
I guess anything over 500ccs is intended for export? maybe people that use the loopholes or buy it as a showpiece. There is someway to get larger bikes there but it's weird. I know Harley-Davidson somehow imports at least some bikes to Japan. I learned that on the factory tour. That says something since the smallest HD is an 885cc engine (right? except the Buell Blast).
you know the only reason Dodge really bankrolled the Tomahawk was a sexy way to display the Viper's engine at car shows. When they go working on it they decided it had to work well... and it works well enough that the last i heard nobody has dared to go top speed.
it was after a HUGE response they built some to sell. The ones they sell are missing one component... maybe a final drive chain or something? the reasoning on that was liability. the bike is just way too much for anyone to ride full throttle.
this is not an April fools joke...... but i'm on dialup so i can't go find the orig stories.
there was a story in the last year or so on MacSlash and other mac sites about a guy who's sister's iMac was stolenf rom her apartment. being the nerdier of the siblings he had installed (i think) Timbucktoo (sp?) on her machine. it's like Apple's remote desktop, before ARD existed. he just waited till the thief signed on again and till it looked like they left the machine idle and went in to change the isp dialup numbers to his house. he then logged their numbers on his callerID box and used whitepages.com to do a reverse lookup. i think the police were confused about his thing when he went to them but he went to the address and demanded back the machine explaining he knew the stolen merchandise was in the house. the person there claimed "they bought it from some guy" not knowing it was stolen... but as you know stolen merch is stolen merch. i don't think the person using the stolen iMac was charged, but the guy rescued the iMac for his sister.
the story may have been posted tot he apple news section here..... the guy behind it was posting info as it was going on to at least one site. no it wasnt on April fools day either...... makes you wonder if it's not a bad idea to put some remote desktop client app on your machine in case the thief is too stupid to format the machine.

you are thinking of Jonathan Ives, the guy in the Apple design team that makes everything pretty.
