You'll find with most Palms are connected to the net via pay-per-MB GPRS, so high-bandwidth application isn't really going to be too popular..
However, you can get close to what your asking (in an efficient manner) with MMS Cam (link could well be broken, but you can do another search). With this software you send a specific text to your sneakily located 3650 (Nokia VGA Camera/Video phone) and it will email or MMS to a specified address/number whatever is in it's sights. It's close to what your thinking, and won't inflate your phonebill...
Thanks! The 17inch iMac extending is very cool as well...
I'm not sure why parent is modded down, I thought the battle between whining users and Apple's Engineers is part of any good hardware annoucement discussion, especially examples with cool solutions:)
... And I'd probably would have bought one of these...
I can't think of any reason, other than differentiating the pro and consumer lines, to not include this feature in the iBooks, now they all pack 32MB Radeons...
As it is I'll stick with my first rev. Dual USB and keep saving, and maybe my finances will get in phase with the 15.4 AluBook annoucement:)
But if anyone can point towards any hacks to get iBooks dual displayin' please do:)
One of the things which makes me use iTunes on certain machines is the indiscriminate search feature and how it works so well with both librarys and playlists.
I would really like to see it added in someway to Safari as now it is my main browser my bookmarks, despite attempted organisation are beginning to get out of control.
Swapping the Google search panel for a bookmark search interface (when you flick the bookmark switch, which checked titles and URLs) would be cool, and as a 'power' feature if you could searched cached versions of the bookmark's pages as well it would be excellent (please inform me if another browser already has that functionality)...
Additionally, tabs aren't specifically noted in the 'Window' menu - there is not distinction between a window containing one page and one tab of many in a different window.
Secondly
Apple-Shift-Left or Right : Switches to the previous or next tab in a window, which is nice. It is also circular, so going right when browsing the final tab will bring you back to the first...
For a touch of karma whoring, for the people who never played around with an 'unreleased' beta (which includes me), the keyboard/mouse controls for tabbed browsing (which is turned off by default, and has it's own tab in the new Safari Preferences).
Apple-Click : Opens a link in a new tab. Apple-Shift-Click : Opens a link in a new tab and selects it. Apple-Option-Click : Opens a link in a new window behind the other one. Apple-Option-Shift-Click : Opens a link in a new window and selects it.
There is also the check box option to always display the tab bar, plus 'Select new tabs as they are created', which alters the above keyboard setup.
I'm on my iBook at the moment, so I'm not sure how these interface with multi-button mice, but I guess you could configure the buttons to correlate with these modifiers, if you haven't already...
But having never heard such a recording, I can't say first hand.
I'd recommend checking out the recordings made by some Soundman OKM headphone sold by the German My Minidisc. If not for the microphone tech for the guts of the guy who hangs out in lion's cages and military test grounds for testing purposes:)
When the recorder is standing still the effect isn't pronouced with seperate speakers but noticable with headphones, and when the recorder moves you sense it with headphones and get almost disorientated with seperates..
"I dont think this fits into the 'Digital Hub' or the 'Year of the Notebook' shtick they have been preaching."
Well, for a start, when it was announced music was one of the integral parts of the 'Digital Hub', and it only makes sense to make money off the content as well as the hardware its played on (whilst complicated, it is working for Sony).
Secondly, I didn't think at keynotes you have to announce every stratergy you are working on, especially the secret ones which might not pan out. Cut them a bit of slack:)
"Hey lets waste a ton of money while were barely profitable to buy into an industry that everyone _knows_ is dying..."
From the LA Times article - "People close to Jobs say he is convinced that the music industry is about to turn a corner in the copyright war." That "vision thing" is why Steve has tonnes of money, contacts and a private jet, whilst working for two kickass companies, again, cut him a bit of slack...
On one hand you could ponder whether people nowadays are more cynical or have a harder time suspending their disbelief, because Superman, if I recall correctly, came to Earth, grew up and was flying all over the place within half an hour, where as it took Keanu like two hours to get to that point..
On the other hand you could just say its a ploy to make one movie into three and get more revenue - Xmen didn't waste anytime unleashing a bunch of mutant abilities, but then again I guess they had prior art..
"Well that for the image based techniques that were used to render the many virtual set per se."
And its, from what I can guess, popping up in more and more big movies. I think it was used in a number of the swinging shots in Spiderman, and whilst not 100% convincing, as a geek I remember appreciating the stupidly high resolutions of the textures they were throwing around:)
You do realise that practically nowhere offers gigabit ethernet plugin at the wall, not even at work? It's mostly for wiring up server farms etc. I seriously doubt your computer can consistantly give a gigabit of throughput anyway - this is like when they bumped the ram up to DDR, who cares that the CPU couldn't actually use it, it made the specs look better!
In my non-scientific observations, I've seen gigabit perform up to 4-5 times faster than standard 100mb ethernet.. And when you see some of the data shifting which does on in the media environments (most?) of these powerbooks work in you'll be glad in *any* increase in network performance...
Choice of hardware:
Dell: everything
Apple: little
I admit for home users XP beats OS X when it comes to overall hardware support, but the most of the Powerbook owners I know need suport for - wireless and wired networks (built-in), bluetooth (built-in, with argueably better software support than XP), VGA, DVI ADC monitors (I have a hard time finding PC notebooks with DVI, but someone please correct me), firewire hard drives (I admit USB 2 would be nice for completeness) and DV and Still cameras (which it chews up and spits out).
For some weird-ass $40 webcam XP is gonna win on support, but for the professional media market these books are primarally aimed at I've found no hardware support issues:/
Thay haven't changed anything. They've increased the arrests,
Intrestingly, I think if you look at the numbers the Feburary London 'million' march actually reduced crime in the parts of London it spread through - no muggings, car accidents/theft, drug-induced distrubances etc..
Probably more police than usual, and lots of (partially ironic) litter but no arrests to my knowledge - which is lots less than normal:)
I wanted to make a huge RAID of USB flash memory "Keys". If it weren't for the worthless speed you get out of USB 1.1, it could be quite cool.
You could use Wiebetech's firewire flash/microdrive keychain, maybe even on multiple firewire buses, but for size/performance ratios disk-only ipod-like units are usually going to win.. Daisy chaining them all around your monitor or something though would look cute:)
That's what is wanted now. If MS/Sony come along and says "our next gen console not only provides you with the best gaming experience available but acts as a home hub providing email/web access, programme recording/playback as well, all for no extra cost" who is going to complain?
Exactly. And with hard drives, big CPU and graphics power, HDTV output, ethernet, hard disks and firewire/USB on this generation of consoles, the next gen just need a port of Microsoft Media Centre or Sony's equvilant to do all that stuff + games...
Its a scaled down tablet, which is just a remote access screen for XP boxes, which I guess won't be as popular as full-on tablets which don't have to be within wi-fi range, but the fact you just asked for it means there is a potential market:)
And its these questions which are totally messing with the current media distribution coporations, who currently grant licneses and rights by regions and countries..
But instead of answering them they just try to squash any advancements which in the long term could just help them sell more stuff:/
There is also the issue of how he bulked up for the Spidey role... He put on quite a bit of wieght for the part and if you rush that kind of development it can be bad for you...
Analysis of a patent Apple filed a while back pertaining to a possible iMac, hardcore, casemod, that could potentially offer what you want built right into the case...
Meanwhile, for external data I'll probably settle with the still very cool DIGN Case with a really sweet software configurable LCD panel...
What about firewire being used in highish end audio?
Sony's most excellent Lissa does, and I've seen MOTU's rackmount firewire audio gear, which seems to chew up and spit out multiple tracks, and doesn't really dent the CPU (which is important when capturing and altering the stream).
If I could just go straight from the firewire bus on my iBook to my stereo, and miss all the electrical noise it makes (or at least have it error-checked), it would be cool...
I've used an Audigy ex platinum yadda yadda yadda 2 on a Win XP box, and although maybe a little overpriced I was happy with its performance. It wouldn't fit into a 'pro' studio but for anything up to that point it's nice..
On the issue of Linux Latency there are many resources around the web helping you knock it down even further. A good start is Oreilly.
But what Apple does is pretty much impossible for any else to replicate: They are able to create such an environment because they not only dictate what is sold (Wal-Mart does this) but because they make (i e design) most everything they sell.
And also, if someone looks at the product for an hour there, then buys somewhere else (cheaper), they still make money.
You could make an equivilant shop for anything, but unless you make the product you take the hit of (a section) people using your store resources then buying somewhere else..

There is a very still info page here.
Considering how long it has been dead I guess it isn't going to happen :/
