d/ld and installed last night. first impressions: renders pages better than safari (faint praise), very customizable, has pressure issues with touch screen (iTouch).
verdict: good start but needs improvements, which opera historically provides in a timely fashion. will be using this extensively.
a box like this can easily become the primary way to play your stored music. if i had one that's what i'd use it for. i may watch a few movies a week - but music runs all day every day at my place, often very quietly, streamed off several external hard drives attached to a computer in an upstairs closet. silent yes, but impractical to control, and as for remote access, forget it.
could live without both smith and emmerich. would like to see goldblum though. but hey, since we're dreaming, how about a sequel to buckaroo bonzai there bigboot?
what's this hacked version you mentioned - will it update the codecs? if so i'd like to hear more. i burn avis to disc and watch them on the philips (the one w/out a usb input) but it doesn't play some of the newer content.
like i knew orrin, you'd wonder if this is really his way of setting up draconian ip enforcement for his hollywood pals' he's never been able to do otherwise. is it a secret hatch to hollywood?
what's behind the +TB drive race is home media and consumer servers don't need anything like the speed advantages of chip based storage. spinning platters easily serve content throughout the house where size/cost and the ability to hold giant files is the determining purchase factor. i paid $65 for an external 1TB drive last fall because i had to have something at least that big for my content, and 2TBs under $150 are now available. meanwhile an acquaintance just finished design work on asml's next generation chip fabber and if i can't reveal the specific sizes i can report they're shockingly small. however i just don't see silicon storage beating the price/density advantages of platters anytime soon, regardless of the author's predictions.
cheap and huge. when it comes to multi terabytes that's what most families need.
network tv would kill for those ratings. tfa states unique nyt readers in the 20,000,000 range. doesn't say but avg dailies? those numbers are similar to some of the most expensive and profitable scripted broadcast programs now airing like ncis. they're greater than the simpsons, higher than two and half men, more than desperate houswives, all weekly programs, all wildly successful. it's more than double the highest rated evening news franchise. it would be like owning a top five network tv show for every single day of the year. that and they still have the paper with it's printed ads and paid for circulation. they're smart guys. strange they can't package those global eyeballs profitably.
i used to be in radio back when everybody smoked. we kept the (smoking) engineers busy cleaning scratchy pots on a regular basis. it wasn't a big deal. since smoking isn't allowed in studios anymore the pots stay clean indefinitely. but i mean seriously, removing airborne pollutants that have settled on components is a routine practice.
for all that however computers themselves are biohazards. try throwing one out sometime. if apple was consistent they wouldn't anyone build them - let alone repair them.
this story is like something the onion would come up with.

ten percent of this hard drive is taken up by the studio's drm system. i would think they could do better than that.
hey paramount, make it 20% and you've got a deal!

i'll miss you. then again, i'll have a lot more free time.
paint them black and ming the merciless will buy the whole fleet.
the waffles have been great but i hope this gets us back to bacon.
my cell doesn't work at my cabin, which has dsl (natch). this would be perfect.
similar schemes have been around the community for (unfortunately) ages.
