Their DVR service is one of the few things they have competitive prices on. $10/month + nothing to buy is pretty great when a TiVo is over $100 + $13/month or whatever it is now. Plus, if you have the DVR, you don't have to pay $5/month for HD content.
of course this is probably the reason that they agreed to write software for the comcast boxes... it is unlikely that they would succeed as competition so why not make your money selling their quality interface.
I can't wait til these boxes come out. I like the Tivo interface, but they don't have a box that can record HD from cable. As much as I dislike Comcast, they are far cheaper than Tivo.
I have had a problem with the privacy tab remembering not to index my Backup disk. Most times when I reboot, it's not there and the drive starts churning.
I am doubt that Apple will make a box that you can easily run Windows on. I fully suspect them to do everything possible to prevent that from happening. I hope and pray they don't but I just don't see them doing that.
Phil Schiller is on record stating that Apple won't do anything to stop people from booting Windows.
I think the major problem is that now VPC will have virtually no performance hit. And if you don't want an actual virtual computer and the bugginess of Windows, I'm betting WINE will be out of OS X within 6 months of the first x86 macs ship date.
Linux being a "competing *NIX" has nothing to do with it. Apple has decided that it isn't worth the effort to port iTunes (and thus QuickTime and most of Carbon) to Linux. Deal.
Work for the "well-known internet company", and I guarantee that you will be looing for work in 3-6 months, if not sooner.
Why? They're profitable and their not going anywhere anytime soon.
Go with the Wall Street firm, and you'll see that job security in the investment field is as volatile as the market itself. You have nothing to brag about.
Bloomberg isn't going anywhere. You sound like an out of work IT worker. I wasn't bragging, I was countering a claim that it was hard to find work with a CS degree.
You might want to define "well paying". I have talked to alot of CS majors who just came out of undergrad programs from top schools, their salary is an insult.
Well above the average for CS majors at my school, not including bonuses and stock.
I'm about to graduate with a CS degree. I had two well-paying offers from two well-known companies. My friend had 3. Everyone I know in CS either has a job or is staying for grad school (and not because they had to, because they want to).

They'll gladly pass that chance to instead sell a Mac to you.
I think the Netflix model destroys any hope of me buying any more TV DVDs except for my absolute favorites like the Soparnos or Seinfeld.
Your generalizations and stereotypes are just as bad.
You can buy the previous season as a set on iTunes for $35 IIRC. You don't have to go piecemeal.

There's no state income tax in Washington.
I work in the Northwest and make north of 70k first job out of college.
DLP. 80% of the image at 50% of the price. Also no burn in.

No it's not. Just like patents, they are useful. They become a burden when they are abused.
Fast translation of instructions already translated.
I don't get much utility out of a second CPU, I just don't do stuff that requires it, so I'd prefer not to spend money to get it.
You only ever run one program at time? Why do you need dual monitors and 2GB of RAM then?
Seriously, the gains in application switching and overall system responsiveness have spoiled me. I'm not going back to single CPU systems ever again.

Apple folks know that once you go dual, you don't go back.

Get one of these: Factory to radio adapters
I've seen this in a Java project I was working on:
...
//And there was code here!!
boolean x;
if(x == true) {
}
else if(x == false) {
}
else {
}
A lot of people, myself included, often sell the previous console to fund the purchase of the new one.

Last year's average. And it's not like the average is going to put you in the poor house.

One was from a well-known major internet company, the other a Wall Street information company.
I didn't even apply to defense firms.
But it's not!
