Well they can't put a huge screen on a tiny device.
I think it certainly does look pretty cool though. It really is a radical new look for anything Nintendo... I don't think they've ever made anything metal before. Usually it was all plastic. This looks more like an accessory people carry around at all times, rather than just another kid's toy.
the Apple thing is cooler tech to me, and more stylish, and its small... also would consume less power... i dont feel like putting another computer in the family room (assuming i even have enough parts laying around to make another one).
So your Mac and Acorn are connected via sneakernet.
I suppose in that case I could count the 64K Tandy Color Computer 2 I have in the closet and which is sometimes in use for old games and messing around. (also have a 512K CoCo3 somewhere)
It's all about the experimentation. Most people would have no idea why would even be trying to get my old Mac Classic I recently acquired hooked up with everything else.
My desktop is my primary experimentation machine though... it has Slackware 10.1 and WindowsXP Pro in dual-boot, with Slackware as the default (trying to be more Linux proficient). And so I use this box to mess around with operating systems (I used to mess around with BeOS a few years ago) and programming (usually end up using Windows for programming because of.NET) and stuff like that.
My Mac OS X laptop is my primary thing I use for everyday stuff. This summer I want to try doing some coding with XCode and see if I can figure it out. I tried messing around with it on my own but I think I must be too used to C#.NET right now and will need a tutorial for XCode, Objective C, and the Cocoa APIs...
I have the Dayna Pocket SCSI/Link. The thing is, that because of the RAM in the Classic (its not maxed out) I'm limited to using System 6. I haven't found any browsers that will run on the amount of memory I have... and the only way I can figure out to do filesharing is with AppleTalk (over Ethernet)... but for some reason the Mac Classic only sees my Powerbook if it's directly connected with the cable, and not through the router. And it doesn't work anyway, when I try to access the AppleTalk server on my Powerbook on the Mac Classic Chooser... it says the versions are incompatible (powerbook's version is too new I guess).
I also have Slackware 10.1 on my desktop... with the appletalk server daemon enabled... but I haven't tried it out yet to see if it will work with the Mac Classic.
consists of a G4 PowerBook, two WindowsXP machines (one connecting to the router wirelessly, one wired), a Macintosh Classic (which I'm forever trying to make work)... and sometimes some old laptops like a 486 laptop or a 166MHz Pentium laptop. Then just cable modem and linksys router with wireless.
I keep wanting to look into the thing Apple makes where you can send music wirelessly to your stereo and stuff... if I had the money.
When asked for his advice to aspiring game designers, Mr. Miyamoto had these words of wisdom: "It's one thing to design games based on established characters, but the key to success in designing games is to try and create your own interesting and original game play ideas."
Yeah... you don't see too much originality in games anymore. It's all about recycling genres and franchises.
To me, what the original post said would imply that Apple had a hand in inventing the audio format used for CDs which they didn't. And if Apple wanted to copy the audio cd format, they would have based AIFF on that, instead of on EA's IFF format.
Wikipedia says red book audio came about in 1980 (when CD's came about, duh)... and that AIFF was "was co-developed by Apple based on Electronic Arts Interchange File Format (IFF)". I always just thought of AIFF as being Apple's version of a WAV file.
I think maybe the original poster is confused because (if i recall correctly) some version of Mac OS displays the audio tracks as AIFF Files when you view it in the Finder, even though the audio is not stored as an AIFF file on the CD. But CD audio is red book for sure.
"intelligent design, which posits that life's complexity cannot be explained without a supernatural creator."
I propose a new theory... Intelligent Designer Design... which posits that the complexity of a supernatural creator of life's complexity cannot be explained without a supernatural creator of a supernatural creator.
I also propose Intelligent Designer Designer Design... which posits that the complexity of a supernatural creator of a super natural creator of life's complexity cannot be explained without a supernatural creator of a supernatual creator of a supernatural creator.

New bill going through to prevent the government from beating up your dear, sweet grandma... (and we snuck on legislation that allows us to sneak into your home and rummage through your stuff for any reason we decide, without informing you)... can't vote that down, think of all the grandmas!
I hated how Arthur looked like he was about to cry when he was in the Magrathean factory floor zooming over the planets. It just was wrong. As wrong as his little speech about loving Trillian in front of the mice.
The weird thing for me was that I saw Warwick Davis' name in the opening credits and realized he must be inside the Marvin outfit... and for the whole movie I just kept thinking about Willow being inside that costume whenever he was on screen and walking and such.

The old ColecoVision had an add-on that allowed you to play Atari 2600 games on it (the Coleco's rival).
So I guess there's some precedent.
The look of the PS3 reminds me of a silver TTI Turbo Duo... which was an NEC Turbografx-16 with a built-in CD drive and upgrade card.

AIFF is a format mostly developed by Apple. Audio CD audio uses Red Book format.

You've got one kinky sex life... that's for sure.
I think I've seen those in the check out line at Fry's Electronics
Need Tiger though....
I don't like how I upgraded to QT7 on Panther... and now I can't view a movie full-screen or present a movie... need Pro for that now I guess.
And just to remind me... in the menus theres tons of options grayed out with the word "PRO" next to it.
