But doing that, carrying movies around on your ipod to plug into a tv and watch later, isn't very practical. Even if the iPod did support video, which it doesn't (and won't until Jobs gets the MPAA on their side, which will take a while, if at all), how likely is it that your are going to be carrying around the required cables, and have a tv handy when you are out and you see someone whom you want to show pictures. Not only that, but the ipod is an on the go device, nobody really wants to sit down and watch your stupid slideshow of pictures of your dog.
Or people that actually take advantage of presentation programs and use things like transition, sound, video, animation, delayed points, etc, etc, etc.
Not likely, unless your presentation is very simple.
I'm sorry, I know this will probably get modded as a troll, but who the fuck wants to watch a movie on a TWO INCH SCREEN?! Are you really gonna sit on a plane holding your ipod a foot from your face for 2 hours?
The iPod is good, nay, amazing, at was it is/was, an mp3 player. I don't see the point in paying an extra $100-$200 for a tiny screen so I can see album art when I change songs or show pictures to people who will probably be more interested in the ipod then the picture itself.
However, that said, this will probably sell by the truckloads since people are stupid and are amused by flashy lights and colors. bah.
It would send the same message to kids as they are getting now. Some drugs are okay, others are not okay. If we move pot from the list of bad drugs to good drugs, it isn't going to make much of a difference. The problem is that kids shouldn't be taught that some drugs are good and others are bad, they should be taugh that some substances are dangerous, others are not, and others we just plain don't know. (Yes yes, in reality all substances have some degree of danger, but smoking weed isn't really as bad for you as doing lines of cocaine.) Kids should be taught stuff on what we know to be dangerous, and therefore why it is illegal, rather than just trying to force feed them what is good and what is bad.
And it was actually just a VCR or BetaMAX or whatever hooked up to the screen?
yeah, that was pretty funny, but I don't think that's what we are seeing here. Intel isn't under the same kind of pressure NeXT was, and would have no real reason to atempt such a stunt.
Zombie victim Carty took matters into her own hands: She did research on how to clean up and protect her PC and diligently updates programs that scan her computer for various types of malicious code. Her PC now runs clean. "I had no clue at Christmas that I would become a security expert," she says.
Umm, riight. Anyone who downloads ad-aware and turns on their firewall is a security expert now? Shit, my networking prof must be a god damn diety then.
um... wouldn't it be an explosion of 3D models of breasts or other FEMALE body parts? I don't know about you, but most geeks i know wouldn't want to touch a 3D penis.

Just because it will be a hit doesn't mean that it should be a hit. There are many valid arguments here there show why it shouldn't be.
But sadly, yes, I agree.
Yeah, i'm aware, thanks tips.

insightful.

Looks like he also anticpated our arrival.
Umm, with his webserver being slashdotted after less then 10 comments, I think it's safe to say he didn't expect our arrival. Anyone got a cache?

Isn't this kind of useless? Wasn't the last day to register to vote a couple days ago?

This is a terrible question. Let PETA worry about the safety and well being of lesser creatures like the mouse running around in my house.

Tell me about it. "they can't be reverse-engineered" riiiiiiiiiight.... give that a couple weeks in the hands of spammers and we'll see about that.
But aren't they only like 4200rpm drives? a bit slow for a tabletpc, IMHO.
Now i'll be able to blast my way through level 7 in Word XP!

We'll just slasdot the ilovebees.com server, and voila! mystery solved!

But I thought bluetooth was dying? /me ducks. :)
It would be interesting to see how much the software industry GREW in the same time period... anyone have the stat?
yes, because only the numeric keypad is for data entry. the rest of the keyboard is for eating of course.
yum.
wow, that is pretty amazing, i didn't realize test pilots even lived that long.
there is also iStorm", which uses rendezvous and can do more than just text/code. it's worth a look if you are in the market for that kinda thing.
