Why not take the ipod a step further and give it the ability to transcribe your voice notes in realtime and display them on the screen? Dragon does this anyway on a little bit more ram on a desktop PC. Ok...I know it's a stretch, but if Apple were able to pull it off...
I paused the trailer at two minutes, two seconds, grab a screen shot of Natalie Portman's ass and couldn't help but notice that she's handcuffed to the side of the vehical they're riding in. I couldn't tell if Anakin is cuffed or not. I wonder what it means?
There's a pool here over whether this will be modded up as insightful or funny, or not at all. I'm betting on insightful.
An article mentioning the Sklyarov case like this one does, is going to draw a lot more attention from policymakers to the problems the DMCA and other legal troubles are posing to online freedom than your average rant on a board like this, how well reasoned it may be."
Some of these people have more respect for good grammar and punctuation too. I can't imagine why.
While I don't see it in the system specs for this device, I think it might be possible to hook it up to other devices such as DV camcorders and firewire hardrives for data syncing. One of the advantages that firewire has over USB is that it's computer independant. For example, I mightput a 100gig hardrive in my car, and use the iPod to pull music and playlists off of it. Which would be way cool.
At some point in the future, the FBI or 'orifice of homeland security' will go on yet another hacker hunt, and guess who's logs they'll want? Yep, Slashdot's.
How would this effect me with a subscription? Well me ol Daddy used to say "if you hang out with pigs, you smell like pigs". To put it another way, if I get picked up for something unrelated, and they look me up in their database and see that I subscribed to a 'terroristic newsgroup', it might just have some unholy consequences (like the diff between $2,000,000 and $5,000,000 bail(tm)/jack).
I'm probably being way paranoid, but in the unlikely event that I'm not, I hope this is something the subscription scheme will address. Or maybe some moderators will think I'm trolling and mod me into oblivion:P
Sorry to play the devil's advocate here, but these people are payed the big bucks to enrich their stock holders. It's their sole purpose. This is an excelent oportunity for them to do so. Wtf do you expect from any self respecting CEO?? (excluding Steve Jobs maybe)

Quite frankly, electronic equipment that can re-arrange itself without any outside help scares me.
HmmmmmmmMMMmm. This sounds like another darwin award in the making!
Hydrogen has been around an awfully long time. Doesn't at least one mega-corp have it patented?
What about big men with strong hands? Surely you should ban strong hands too, as they could be used to strangle people!
I would feel bad for the poor bastard that would have to strip search me. Heh.
You through a smoke screen around the area until you can fabricate some new ones. Not to be a troll or anything, but this was only a matter of time.

Yes, it's getting harder and harder to find a good flamewar on TV, so we resort to the Net.
I'd prefer a case of alien bites human, injects a spore, which eats the human from the inside out in excrusiating pain, which eventually kills them.
