I welcome Apple to the problems of making an OS for people other than the tech savy.
Um, yes...because...goodness knows...that Apple, um...hasn't been doing that for the past twenty years! What other company could you possibly be comparing them to with a statement like that?
You can find specs to Apple products here. The AirPort express specs aren't up yet but I'm sure they will be soon (or should that be "I'm sure they soon will be"?).
I can only assume moderators with kids who want special treatment didn't like what I had to say.
Then you are an idiot.
If you are raising children and you think you can be just as productive a worker doing so as you were before you had kids YOU ARE DELUSIONAL!
If you are a weak manager (see above), it's easy to place the blame elsewhere for your employees' so-called "lack of motivation". If you are a weak manager, it's easy to label a new parent's lack of desire to put in 60-hour weeks as "unproductive".
...paradigm shift in peoples' motivation...I would always prefer an employee that doesn't have children over one that does...I'm not of the belief that one can maintain a high level of productivity when other areas of their lives are radically changing...
Of all your employees, at least you can be sure that Dilbert and Wally won't become fathers anytime soon.
Who the hell did that kind of sh*t for "Treasure Planet" or "Home on the Range"?
The animators. The people who work on these movies do the best they can with what they're given (and they do know when they're given crap). Blame the company, the story department, the producers and the directors when these movies are bad. Don't blame tehe rest of the crew, though, because they do work hard on these things.
Beyond that, Pixar is absolutely head and shoulders above DreamWorks in storyline, casting,... and digital effects.
That's really interesting and all but it doesn't matter. Box office matters. Shrek's opening box office numbers show DreamWorks/PDI are no ugly step-sister. We'll have to wait for Sharkslayer to see if they can make magic with something that isn't Shrek, though.
Your argument appears to be "people will pay it so it's the right price".
It's the only price. They have to pay it. I'm not sure your logic is so great either.
No they don't have to pay it. People don't have to buy songs online (and they don't). If you think that $1 is not the right price, despite Apple selling 70 million songs, then set up your own store with a different price and prove otherwise. Otherwise, 70 million songs can't be all wrong.
The U.S. Supreme Court had to hear the case once the Florida Supreme Court violated Florida Law.
One could argue that the Florida Supreme Court got involved when the Florida Executive Branch violated the law. Why is it a federal matter when a state supreme court interprets its state law in a way in which you don't like?
Here's the catch though, it would be just as flawed if Gore had won by the decision of the supreme court to support his cherry picked recounts of only a part of a state. That is the essence of the issue.
I disagree. The essence of the issue is that the Supreme Court shouldn't have gotten involved. They should have not heard the case and let the Florida Supreme Court handle it. If the state, not the people, really select their electors, as so many people here point out, then the state court should have been the final word. It was not a federal issue.

You don't even need the AirPort Express. Just hook up the laptop directly to the stereo, right?
No, you'd buy another one to put it next to your printer. Now do you see how the master plan works? Mwahahaha!
I'm an idiot. Here is the specs page.
Apple has completely outflanked MS's "media center" methodology...
Looks like you misspelled a word above. It should be "m-y-t-h-o-l-o-g-y".

Itunes Remote $59
If I could see my computer from the room my stereo is in, which I'd need to do to use that remote, I wouldn't need an AirPort Express.

You're married... and the fact that you are having a kid proves you are getting laid with some regularity.
Oh geez, you are OBVIOUSLY single!
You misspelled their name. It's spelled L-a-c-u-n-a C-o-i-l.
You'd think with all that free porn you wouldn't be so bitter and twisted. Maybe you need an actual woman.
Of course it's not going to have a similar capacity. All he said was it's going to look neat. More Microsoft FUD and vapor.
Only the most extreme economic offenses should be punishable by imprisonment.
Does this mean we can't send spammers to jail?

If you're taking along an iPod (and I have no idea if you are or not), how about getting an iTalk to go with it and dictate your notes?
In the US, there would be no such wait, at least with my HMO.
As you say, at least with your HMO. Believe me, YMMV.
He didn't say it was perfect. He said it was better. Do you want us to believe the U.S. "system" of health care is perfect?

The Florida Supreme Court...interpreting Florida state law...violated the law...? Riiiiiight.

They were both really, really close and recounts and charges of fraud were involved.
I disagree, and it's happened the other way around FWIW, I recall Nixon had more human votes than Kennedy, but Kennedy had more electors.
Wrong.
