When Time Warner released digital cable they promised that there would be a channel for almost everything (after time of course!). Now about half the people I know have cable and the other half have a regular TV antenna, so this means everyone has TV. Everyone I know also have radio but I know only 2 that have XM. FM radio is old world and XM is new world but will people pay for the new world when they can download it off of Kazaa and burn it to a CD for NOTHING! Time will tell if it survives and replaces FM.
Though the Segway is used by a small and respected group of people it would only take one "chariot race" and a lawsuit to bring, inventer Dean Cain, and the Segway down forever. Banning it is not the answer to the Segway but a few good laws might help the Segway be safer and more widely accepted by cities.
In all my life i have yet to see a competitive trident on the market. For the same money a Trident costs you could buy a Geforce 2 or 3 and those are a lot better.
A 64-bit may be great but a 64-bit OS is needed to fully utilize that power. Windows may not be prepared yet for a 64-bit processor and linux will also need an over haul also. Is the world ready to accept a 64-bit processor? for now it is not. Only time will tell if it is.
This has been a bad year for the tech industry so i would expect a smaller comdex this year. But this year you might be able to do something at comdex instead of waiting in a line. Comdex will bounce back in the years to come(i hope).
I've seen Alienware stuff before and it is over priced by along shot. Gamers might like it at a LAN party but serious gamers look someware else. A laptop costs less than this so why would anyone buy this product. For the average joe who might go to a LAN party once in a while but has a great boxx then they should get the GearGrip LT at thinkgeek (http://www.thinkgeek.com/interests/giftsunder20/5 aa6/) for $20 dollars or the Pro for $35. i see no reasen to buy this for such a high price and it doesn't even come with FreeBSD
I am one who loves to build his own computer and I can not see paying $1700 bucks for this crap. Seriously these are far overpriced and I would rather go to www.thinkgeek.com and get the cappuccino for $1100 and spend the rest on customizing it. With $500 bucks you could replace the CPU, add more RAM, buy some games, and get some great geeky stuff like a Tux blanket for those cold nights of gaming. Better yet save some money and have some fun build your own and save some real money. Still even better get a Laptop (that would be really good). Serious gamers might like this but games like UT 2003 will barely run on this and Battle field 1934 wont run that nice. This is more of a toy than practical. You will have more fun showing it off than actually playing games on it.
What the heck is wrong with emachines. First they build a crappyer computer than Compaq and now are trying to kill the idea of a tablet PC.
First off they should put real Linux on it or better yet FreeBSD, not some stupid imitation. I have worked with emachines and they can do nothing better than word processing. Tablet PCs are slow enough this will be slower. and what about games! PDAs can play games! these are a waste of money until the technology is refined and that is far off.

Once a hacker always a hacker so... when will you begin hacking again?

What sort of Mac did it "smoke"? A G4 is one of the best computers avalible and i am sure that a wussy PC would crumble under its power.
