Ditto, they told me because the bottom mositure sensor was tripped they wouldn't work on it, and a friend of mine who works at the Apple Store confirmed that they consider any sensor a 'bio-hazard'.
I've been in IT for fifteen years, have a great day job but I wanted to tap into my creative side a bit more, so I bought a camera three years ago.
Now I run a Photography Business (www.fenstermacher-photo.com) that has gotten me a good bit of business and it can pay really well if your good at running a business, managing expesnse, marketing and good at taking photos.
We are on track for it to be able to offset my wife quitting her job and having the photo income replace her good paying full time job in the finance/investment banking industry.
With the PMA (the big US camera convention) just around the corner (17 days) if they plan to announce availablity there.
Would be really great if I could pick this up at Best Buy by summer time... I also assume that it's got a good macro lens on it.
What in the world does dots per inch have to do with a monitors native resolution?
If you have two 19" monitors with the same physically sized display area, one having a native display resolution of 1024x768 and the other is 1280x1024 running the same desktop/apps, etc. (all with the same fonts/sizes), which one will have physically smaller sized type, images, etc.?
Obviously the 1280x1024 will have the smaller sized type, images, etc. that's because are fitting more pixels in the same physical space, so everything appears smaller. While true you can adjust the text size in some applications this can cause those applications to look goofy, weird, etc.
There is a big difference between print resolution/image quality and the image quality on a monitor/display. My friends who are pro photograhers print almost everything at 300 DPI.
It sounds as if you are equating DPI and pixels? DPI doesn't give you higher image quality...
"The Myth of DPI"

Dell didn't pay me squat to post this... If they did pay me the check hasn't arrived. I actually don't like Dell at all and refuse to buy their PowerEdge servers.
Bringing out a 30" monitor which supports HDCP is news...
You going to put that projector behind your desktop and get a big screen on your desk? This is a computer monitor designed to be connected to a computer, not a TV...
The link you provided to a projector only display's a 800x600 resolution, which isn't even that great by projector standards. So if you wanted to use this you would have your icon's be the size of basketball on a 300" screen. Very practical for a desktop monitor...
Seriously what the heck are you talking about? HP doesn't make a 30" display the biggest LCD flat panel monitor they sell is the HP L2335 which is a 23" widescreen display. As for Apple they have only been selling the 30" monitor for about a year now.
So in terms of the technology being commercially available, yeah it's kind of new. With Dell just releasing the second 30" flat panel monitor on the market. So it's news... Not seriously big news in the grand world of computing, but news none the less.
It's still plenty wide. For some users dual monitor stuff is the best option, when I'm doing sysadmin work, etc. and have lots of windows open the dual monitor thing isn't a problem.
Where it does become a problem (for me) is that I'm really getting into photography and the split space between the screens is highly annoying. When I'm working in Photoshop, I want just a huge open space to work, not one that has a big space down the middle of it.
I use two 19" Sony Trinitron's right now, but am likely to upgrade in a few months. My CRT's are harder on my eyes than my flat panel at my office, and so I was going to switch to dual LCD's, now I think I will likely switch to one large LCD (even through it will cost a preimum).
I think that because most people would find 1600x1200 way to small and hard to read if they put it on a 17" display, etc. You might like your text that small but most people don't, and manufacturer's have to find 'lots' of people to buy products.
I think people put up with the small size on the laptops because they have to, and because I would guess that people sit closer to their laptop screens than their desktop monitors....just a guess.
No in fact they haven't... Apple has been the only company that has produced such a display. I would have mentioned any manuf. that released a 30" display just happened to be that Dell released it. I'm not really a fan of Dell anyways... But that monitor is sweet.
Dell plug site, ha they mention stuff from all kinds of companies, why not mention Dell, they talk about Apple, IBM, HP, Samsung, Sun, etc.
Will they run into any legal troubles, etc.? I thought one of the reasons Google News is still 'beta' is because they can't figure a way to make money on it, without getting all the content providers (news sources) up in arms...
Couldn't these new offerings anger the other news sources, and start up a war between provider and crawlers, etc?
Don't know the answer...
Can you quantify 'useless piece of bloatware'?
If it was useless nobody would use it. People 'do' have choices as to what products to buy. Lotus, Novell as well as many others offer mail servers and clients, so why pick Exchange?
Exchange 2000 and Outlook together provide a great solution (I know it has it's quirks and problems). If you think Exchange sucks, try using Lotus Notes, GroupWise or other groupware products... They suck way worse than Exchange.
Besides what is the benefit of having separate products? Are you suggesting that you have a separate calendar app, contact database app, etc? What is benefit?
People (normal users) just want to use email, see when coworkers can get together for a meeting and manage their contacts.
All of these functions are pragmatically integrated so if they can be bundled together to make everyone's lives easier, than do it.

Would give a nice front end that Linux will most likely never have... I'd definately give it a try...
