Which also explains why Apple went out of their way to use the Apple style font smoothing not the Windows style. This make iPhone app testing even more accurate to the target platform.

I'll point out that the screen isn't all that different. The iPod screen is 320x240, 4:3 aspect ratio, 2.5" diagonal. The Zune screen is is 320x240, 4:3 aspect ratio, 3" diagonal. That extra 1/2" diagonal isn't worth the praise you give it.
Yup. It was days, but now it's weeks. Also, have to return the battery on my personal Apple laptop as well. 3 Laptops I touch on a weekly basis, all 3 batteries are going back. Woe is me.
Omni's tools started shipping with the OS relatively recently. I've been watching these numbers as well, but I've been assuming that newer machines are heavily overrepresent simply because people with older machines would have to know about and download them themselves. people on newer machines just need to try all the apps in/Applications.
Come back to me when someone creates widely available sunglasses that project an image for me that looks like a 30 inch widescreen TV that no one else can see and I'll buy it.
Much of the radio content you just mentioned is in the AM band. How many devices the size of an iPod play AM? None. Why? Because the antenna for AM won't fit in a device that small.
Goodness knows how you do that with the new mouse...
Actually, you pick it up with those tabs. To press that button 4 you have to put a decent ampount of force into it, you can comfortably pick it up and move it with out accidentilly hitting that button.
I was quite surprised at the fact I had 0 mouse retraining to do to use this thing. I thought I was going to have problems with the "better lift your index finger or you'll get a left click" problem and absolutly did not.
I'm sure at least part of it was distribution. HP had distribution channels that Apple didn't. For example, the iPods selling in RadioShack were the HP models. It worked for both of them, Apple got iPods in places they normally couldn't, and HP got to sell iPods to retailers without directly competing with Apple.
Recently however RadioShack and Apple started working together. If Apple is undercutting HPs distribution by going straight to the retailers why should HP stay in this particular game.
Actually at WinHEC 2004 (About 1 year ago) Bill Gates himself talked about the all MS initiative of "It Just Works". He also declared the floppy disk dead. It was wierd to see.
Agreed, Instead of all my word documents looking alike with that W icon, all my word documents will look alike because everything I write is written to templates.
Of course. But since draging to the trash was a shortcut for SPECIAL->EJECT I give it as much slack as I give CONTROL + 'X' meaning cut or ALT + 'F4' meaning close window.
But then this is an old problem. I belive that since the first OS X release draging a disk turns the trash can into a eject icon. Do people still complain about UI problems in Win98 that are fixed in WinXP?
I edit on a 800 G3 iBook and while renders can be slow it it otherwise works just fine. The UI never lags on me (except when rendering) and for just cutting scenes together I never need to render.
My work flow would be different on a machine that could do live previews of effects, but I still get plenty of stuff done.
There are a couple of third parties that offer HDV support for FCP. There are links right from Apple's FCP page.
Otherwise you're right on. I've been doing high-end amateur film editing for a while now and I'm just starting to run into things I can't do in Final Cut Express (FCE).
to teh submitter. If you're open to Apple SW FCE for $300 ($99 with a new machine or $149 student) is a damn good choice. Check out their comparison page and decide if you need the Pro feature set. My guess is that since your asking about which NLE to get FCE will be fine for you.
It's not out yet, but search microsoft.com for Monad, or MSH. I caught a session about this at teh last DDC. They are doing some seriously cool command line things that are beyond text pipes.
First, SD video is dead. Forget it. It's history, over, gone.
I saw a MS presentation last spring where they said that the percentage of people hooking Media Center PC's to teh TV via composite was going up not down.
Never underestimate teh number of legacy TVs, tuners, cameras, and video switch boxes out there. Homes will have low end video connections for long time yet.
Nope, All I meant to say was that he credited Cage and Cage's estate was wondering where the royalty checks were. I suspect the issue would have arisen if he had written the great European novel, nothing to do with Cage's work at all and credited Cage. It might be hard to say which cage he meant in that case. In this case well all know.
Yup... Did you notice right there in the second paragraph that Batt credited John Cage for the track? He got shit for using John Cage's work because he said he used John Cage's work.

I'm guessing that they waited so long so that they could have their limited number of engineers work on features for teh iPod taht is selling 8 million in a year, vs teh 2 million that exist of the old model.
The 4th gen and 3rd gen are different beasts inside. It's probably not simply a recompile to get code on one to the other. There is a porting effort involved.
Arrrrgh, drag with the right button is the worst invention ever. And because I never have a clue wether XP is going to decide to copy or move this time I need to right drag all the time.

When the flash eventually dies (which should be quite a while you still have a perfectly functional hard-drive.

In my office I have a both a Dell and an Apple laptop. Both batteries are recalled. Yeah for me.
Apple is claing 3-5 days to get teh replacement. Dell 4-6 weeks.

Bluetooth radios are more expensive than analog radios. BT radios use more power. BT radios that go to sleep need up to 10 seconds to reconect.
That being said there are BT mice available.

Files taken back off of the iPod still have the full ID3 information they had when being put on.

It rips in a non-DRM'd AAC format by default and can be changed to rip into MP3 in the preferences.
