I have been holding off on buying a pair of large capacity HDD's for the last 2 years knowing that we'd be seeing 1TB soon enough. But of course, I couldn't wait any longer and go buy a pair of 500GB cudas. Not less than 24 hours later they announce this. There is an MCP and he is a cruel one at that....sigh.
What's so extreme about hitting your passport with a hammer? It's not like you have to jump off of your roof taking a flying swing at it. You simply pick up a hammer and whack. Done. Not so extreme.
We are only as advanced as the level of freedom we permit our fellow man. On the whole, we as a species are still monkeys swinging in the trees. How can we expect to flourish throughout the galaxy, beyond this earth, if we cannot live in peace with ourselves. Sigh....there's so much more out there for us than to destroy ourselves. We need a good kick in the collective pants.
Since when was deja vu considered to be restricted to sight based events? I have had Deja vu from smells, sounds (music, etc), touch and even just a feeling. Seems quite boring to think that deja vu can only be experienced from sight based experiences.
I seem to recall that Deja vu is actually your brain mis-interpreting what you are currently experiencing as being something you have experienced in the past (ie: processing what you are currently experiencing as if it is coming from your brain's archives. Or in nerd talk - Your brain is mixing up off-site storage with L1 cache.). So, once again, I don't see what this has to do why Deja vu would be isolated to sight based events.
Or like looking at the opening door of any limousine in Hollywood. Like a car accident, you just cannot look away (oh the humanity!) Also, disgustingly inevitable......
I'm glad to see something I have always considered to be completely useless and extremely annoying at the office come to such constructive use. Way to go American ingenuity!
This still seems like a poor implementation of what could have been much cooler. If they had taken a page from their DS designs and put a similar battery into the Wiimote with a charging dock or cable I would be blown away. As it is now it seems like a big step back compared to the rest of the console's innovative qualities.
Hopefully Nintendo will rev the hardware within a year, as they have with the DS, and bring us a sexier option.
I'm waiting the for the version that will support DVD playback (yes, I live in Japan) so I can junk the my current DVD player (xbox original)
Do I really need to see lonelygirl15 and friends on my daily train commute? Oh wait, that's what I carry my notebook around with me for (work? bah!). Now I will be able to watch lonelygirl on my lap and Renetto in my hand. More tubes for me!
Microsoft is slipping the keys to our "Personal" Computers right out of our pockets and we're letting them do it. Vista computers should simply be referred to MC's as that is what they will be as they hold the keys over your head. I'm not liking the direction this is heading in and the lack of notice on the part of the general population.
Somewhat off topic from the parent but a valid question (I hope), if Bitlocker relies on the TPM to store the decryption keys what happens to your drive if the TPM module dies? Are you screwed with a permanently locked drive?
The US isn't even in the same race. I've been on 100MB FTTH here in Tokyo for the last 3 years (25MB ADSL before that). Included with it I get IP telephony services which allow for very cheap international calling rates (I do use SkypeOut instead though) and also free domestic calls to other IP Tel users). I also get TV over IP with a variety of foreign and domestic stations.
All the above for about $45US/month, no capping/limits. Eat that Uncle Sam. They need to clean up the corruption in the US Telecoms industry bigtime. There is no reason why the US cannot have comparable services.
I'm telling you, the only thing keeping Windows on my PC is Jobs not releasing OSX for the PC. If OSX x86 ever became an official product that I could install on my own DIY PC MS could kiss my ass goodbye forever. I can't imagine I am the only one who feels this way....
So, all the copyrighted materials are going to go out the window after others see how google complied with the Japanese. All the skimpy dancing girls are going since that is pornographic (gasp...heaven forbid someone gets an erection and some added joy in their life). So, what are going to be left with? The very few quality amateur bits and a whole lot of garbage.
The vultures are circling....
Trule a shame though that the Japanese couldn't see the advantage of having their videos on youtube. It was free advertising to a fresh new audience...but no, they want to keep all their toys to themselves. Heaven forbid they find new potential consumers! Smart business indeed.

I think I will leave the monitoring of my children up to myself instead of putting it in the hand of a complete stranger(s).
then please do not make this film. Enough said.

Can you easily replace the pron your wife deletes from your NAS? Moral of the story, RAID != backup. It is a good supplement bot not a replacement.
Eldon Tyrell has created Rachael and Pris models available to do my "every" bidding.
"Yeah they're all right, Yahoo is screwed. Sell your shares now". I don't know the details about this but never take the word of the CEO on anything.
