Some cars have line in inputs that you can use. Otherwise, you'll probably be in better shape with a tape deck adapter than one of the FM devices (especially if you're in a city with lots of FM stations).
I understand that the iPod craze has been great for Apple, but I wonder how many people actually buy those accessories that are available (such as the voice recorder and FM transmitter). It's one thing to pay a premium for a high-quality Apple iPod; it's another thing to pay $30 for a an add-on - for features that come standard with other MP3 devices!
On the heels of Clocky comes this new alarm clock that will monitor a sleeper's brain waves to determine the best time to wake him up. The device uses a microprocessor within a headband that wirelessly transmits brainwaves to the clock. When the person is in a light sleep and is likely to wake up 'perky,' the alarm will go off.
What if I go to sleep late? Will this thing let me sleep till 2PM? I don't really understand the use of this thing.
A few questions:
1) Will TV networks sign on to this? Will we able to download last night's episode of 24 for a small fee? How much will they charge?
2) Why aren't these files DRM-less (see the article)? But Google is an innovator, and maybe they can come up with something fair (though fair and DRM seem to be mutually exclusive nowadays...).
..is that a relatively high level of bandwidth is required in order to sustain a usable interface. The reason for this is that the map images themselves are downloaded to the client. Over a thinwire or low-bandwidth environment, a vector-based system where the client does the rendering would probably work better. For example, I have worked in the past on an open-source system in the past called G-Vis.
There's one problem with Google Maps, and that is that the actual images of the maps are downloaded to the client's computer. This is a serious problem in low-bandwidth environments (i.e. thinwire) where the necessary bandwidth to sustain a usable interface might not be available. A vector-based mapping system, where the rendering is done by the client, is much more useful in such cases. For example, I have worked on a system called G-Vis in the past which is designed for use over thinwire.

Can you fit 20GB of music on your phone?
Even the President uses iTunes+iTMS!
But it's not even Apple that's making those accessories. So you're paying $30 for that non-Apple add-on. Why isn't Apple making these things?

Yes, but it will get a lot of free advertising
...if Firefox starts making it into those IBM On Demand commercials!

Huh? These are patches, not new features being added.
about manufacturers charging per-core licenses for their software. For more info, read this.
had a review of the D-Link a while ago
or does anyone else find it odd that he only planned on being in one season...
for those of us who aren't fond of arcane geometrical shapes (or Google, for that matter)
Dante would be proud
that you're getting an actual Windows cd, and not a manufacturer recovery cd.
Is there a way to use Coral for distributing the feeds?

At least they're not selling the goods for real $ online. Perhaps this isn't as big of a problem as it seems; I wonder what Blizzard's stance is.
Thinwire is just a term used to describe an environment with low and unreliable bandwidth.

And suddenly, a Slashdot addiction seems to be a much more costly habit than a smoking addiction...
But how long will it be until widespread access becomes available?
...you could always try this.
