"A $200 controller with a 4.3" 16:9 TFT LCD screen at 480 x 272 pixel and 16.77 million colors. Not to mention built in stereo speakers and headphone jack.
I think this is one thing that consoles could use. Especially with the popularity of things like Madden football, video board / card games, or anything that has multiple players with secret information."
Back in the reality world of the current economic environment, it still boils down to the following..."yeah, it might do all that, but $200 is $200" Sony has become spiteful and downright malicious towards its buying public, and delusional about the buying power of such. They are completely off my radar as a company I'd ever do business with again.
I tried Parallels first. "Technically" it worked just fine. But as a practical matter, everything felt very slow and thus inhibiting. I use XP all day at work and refused to accept a slowdown of any sort on a new computer, since my 4 year old Inspiron was very peppy.
Boot Camp is for those mature enough to put the Macfanboi-ism aside and who just want to get things done, which, ironically, seems to be the "Mac way" of approaching computing:)
I'm loving Boot Camp and the ability to use my Macbook Pro at home (OS X) and work (Windows XP). I had to use Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit to remap the right-hand Command key into a "delete" button so I could log into our domain...and I don't have the ability to use home/end/pgup/pgdown by depressing the fn key...which is OK since I use a bluetooth keyboard at work anyway. However, if I get some indication from Apple that they're going to provide full keyboard support for their notebooks under Windows XP, I'm definitely going to upgrade to Leopard.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think at the end of 180 billion light years you've just wrapped around to the other side, in a similar manner to travelling around the world. If there was a "border," whatever is outside that border is also part of the known universe.
Well, since you asked...it's not that it looks vaguely similar. It looks so much like my old Optiplex that the first thing I think is "WTF is my old office computer doing in my living room?" The cognitive dissonance makes Steve Jobs' reality distortion field look like a bad hit of Mexican ditch weed.
The most amusing of the Macbook motion sensor apps is Macsaber, which creates various lightsaber sounds in response to you swinging around your laptop. It's fun for the first 5 minutes until you remember how much your Macbook cost.
The fact that left and right click share the same button makes me wonder if "rocker gestures" would still work with Firefox...since you can't left and right click at the same time.
It's too big for me, though...it filled in the cup of my hand when I tried it out at the store, among other models. Right now, I'm using a USB Logitech Mouseman Traveller. The size is in between those (IMO unusable) microscopic laptop mice and a regular desktop mouse. I really like the feel of the one-button Apple wireless mouse, but I really need 2 buttons for work.
My Apple bluetooth keyboard isn't supposed to be compatible with Windows, yet here I am using it on my Macbook Pro dual-booted into Windows XP at the moment. If this mouse really can work with Windows (eventually), then I'm going to buy one asap. It's one less wire on my cluttered desk.

"Is managing a fast food restaurant so hard that you need a computer to do it for you?"
I think the idea is that it's so easy, you might as well have a computer do it for you. i.e., maid vs. Roomba

The mice and pens that work with tablets are powered through induction from the special mouse pad....which is plugged into the computer...oh, wait.
My only response is this...we flew to the Moon and back using a computer with 32kb of RAM. Have you *at least* done that with your system?

Unfortunately the only people on a nude beach large enough to see from a satellite are, well, large.
quoth the AC: "you can log in using fn-ctrl-option-delete without any remapping."
You can do that using Parallels, but not running Windows natively under Boot Camp.

IIRC, the Wii's online service will also feature some Genesis and TurboGrafx 16 games.
I thought a Decepticon stepped on it right before the transmission stopped.

"It actually has an intentional theme (though that theme ..."
Whenever I look at my Xbox 360, I am immediately reminded of my white Dell Optiplex GX110 that I had in my office circa 2001-2002.

This thread is useless without pics.
Well, the good news is that if you had cancer, you've stopped it from spreading.

That statement still implies that someone else is doing the re-install.
Ease of installation is not an applicable issue for most of the computing public, who buys computers with the OS already installed.
Megatron will be a Cybertronian jet (you already know what they look like, right?), while Starscream will be an F-22 jet.
That's the hook to get your girlfried to see the movie with you. All girls are obsessed with anything Pooh-related.
Last I read, he's going to be a jet.
