  5. Re:AppleTV or integrated AppleTV? on Apple To Start Making TVs? · · Score: 1

    Not going to happen. You've forgotten about the Motorola ROKR. That was the last time Apple let someone else be in charge of the hardware, and it wasn't pretty.

  6. Re:Analyse this ! on Statistical Analysis of Terrorism · · Score: 1

    The problem here is that both of you are citing websites that have an agenda. According to the CDC, Annual Deaths Attributable to Cigarette Smoking—United States, 2000–2004 are 443,000.

    People seem to forget that Eric Schmidt (Google CEO) joined Apple's Board of Directors on August 29, 2006. He served for three years and, by all accounts, overstayed his welcome.

  13. Re:Anyone else noticing TV Movies lately? on George Lucas To Quit Movie Business · · Score: 1

    I read an article about how "The Nine", which premiered last night after "Lost", was actually a movie treatment before the creators decided to make it a TV series. It will be interesting to see if this trend continues.

  14. Do-It-Yourself Patents on Seeking Prior Art Before Filing Patent? · · Score: 1

    IEEE's Spectrum Magazine has an excellent article on Do-It-Yourself Patents this month. To answer your question, from the article:

    The first step in conducting a [patent] search is to classify what it is you have invented. Look in the government classification manual to find the class and subclass that apply to your invention. The manual is available online at http://www.uspto.gov/go/classification/uspcindex/i ndexs.htm.

    [skip example]

    The next step is to search the patent database at http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/search-adv.htm.


    It goes on from there. An excellent read.

  18. Re:low tech solution on Centrally-Controlled Home Music System on a Budget? · · Score: 1

    I totally agree. Get a SONY CDP-CX455 Jukebox (400 CDs, audio CD-Rs & CD-RWs, and MP3 Playback) for around $250, or about $0.62 per CD. Some of the higher end Sony Jukeboxes have USB (this one has a keyboard) inputs and can be daisy-chained to add more storage. If you use all 400 slots for MP3s, that's 260GB of storage (650MB/CD), or a little over $1.30 per GB. This Christmas I'm giving myself a Sony DVP-CX985V, a 400 DVD Jukebox (DVD-RW/-R, DVD+RW/+R, MP3/CD-R/CD-RW Playback). Even at MSRP of $400, that's 1.88TB of data. Sometime the best solution is an off-the-shelf item.

  19. Re:umm... on Bush, Kerry, and Nader Respond to Youth Voter Questions · · Score: 1

    According to this site, your Kerryisms is attributed to Dan Quayle, who apparently said it on 11/30/88.

  20. Re:Super easy - yahoo toolbar on Cross Platform Browser Bookmark Autosyncing? · · Score: 1

    I can't recommend it enough, although it's a IE toolbar only. To make it cross-platform, you can add a Bookmarks tab to your my.yahoo.com page that can be accessed from any browswer after login. You can add more URLs, but it's more cumbersome than using the toolbar.

  21. Re:techno-congniscenti? on USB Thumb Drives as ... Fashion Statement? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I believe it's cognoscenti.
