I guess a lots of i are confusing you. I think you are reading Apple as iApple already.
Anway, I never said that there are other more expsnsive and better products than iPod. My point was that there are better products available in the market, in the same price range, superior to iPod, with less or none vendor lock-down (that was the oringal question, wasn't it?). I can definitely prove that.
But just like you conveniently did not read this thing already mentioned in my earlier post, you are going to conveniently forget that something other than and better than iPod exists. That's why I said you are not going to stop your Apple-whoring.
No. I am talking about H320/H340. Used to cost just a bit more than same capacity iPod, and takes up 5% more space, DOUBLE the effective battery life, color screen, FM, inline/voice recording, video playing capability with ogg support. That 5 times more space thing might be a Dell laptop you are carrying around.
I have Panasonic PT L500U, and so far, it has been my best investment. for 2000 odd USD, I also got an extra lamp free (which otherwise cost 500USD).
Its compatible with 1080i, 720p, 525i as well as 625i. So all you need is a HD cable box (rented at 5$ per month from Comcast) and a progressive scan DVD player (preferrably with DVI), and you are all set for your own small theater!
Though I dont use it to watch regular TV (lamp life biggest restricting factor - normally between 1000 to 2000 hrs), I do use it for movies on DVD as well as INHD/HBO/MAX HDTV movies - and nothing beats watching HDTV contenct on BFS (Big F*cking Screen).

Lo and Behold, now 1 + 1 started resulting into 2. and that was just the beginning. When they tried, even 1+1+1 started resulting into 3!! This was something even Google (with its 'internet softwares') had struggled with. That, my dear friends, was the corenerstone in the developement process of the pig^H^H^HVista.
Last time I tried, I could not get it working on my OWN account on PC. It worked only on the Admin account from where it was installed. And Admin acct is purely for admin activities.
IE -> Mozilla (to be compatible with netscape only sites) Opera -> IE -> Mozilla (to compatible with IE only sites)
Now that IE7 will have problems with user-agent, what will Opera spoof? Firefox?
And would even Safari have problem if IE is going to change user-agent string?
No, I am not trolling. It would be interesting to see those 'prentending' to be IE will have to upgrade to prentend to be either 'new' IE, or something else, or themselves.
Sometimes, web world is even stranger than the real world!
Well, thought the place I work at have blocked firefox for 2-3 months now, after a lot of pressure from the developement community of the office, they will mostly install it back - at least for the IT people.
But this has more to do with the strength of certain FF extensions like Webdeveloper Tool etc than the security provided by Firefox! Now this is something new, and if this trend continues elsewhere, FF can gain some more share - if not for its own strength, than on the strength of its extensions!!

Oh okay. Then eat this: iRiver does all that, and much more, with much better soundquality.
But are you going to stop Apple-whoring? I guess not!
USA would have taken better control of it.
Oh wait...
Just like how he did it for Windows back in 86?
>>The two companies are focused on combining AOL's Web content with Microsoft's search-engine technology
Okay, there are two unknowns here. Can somebody tell me what is AOL's web content, and which is Microsoft's search engine technology?
And that is exactly why its a spoiler-er.
3.9M Friday opening estimation (www.showbizdata.com)
I know its just an estimate, but how close it may be from actual data if anybody knows showbiz's predictions?
Also, is this a good start or not?
Oh.. thats why its all so dark here!!
Now you have spoilt it even more.

Of all, this was coming from Google!!
Hope they have fixed it this time.
I am not 100 yrs old!
Future technology would enable a very large penis popping out of the screen and shout: "ENLARGE YOURS TOO!!"
Ang imagine getting 10 such spams a day - AT WORK!!
Thanks for letting me know that those proprietary OS/SWs are owned by somebody else and not me!! OMG!!
Yes, very good read indeed. In fact I found it more interesting in its plot than any fiction!
Dont know why VA did not make it to cnet's list - may be it was not a popular thing.
Also, the documentary on kozmo.com - e-dreams - captured kozmo.com from nothing to this next big thing to nothing again.
Both were rollercoaster rides, for sure.
They should start with apple(not Apple). After all, they too deserve their own sin.
>>there is no MS equivalent banner or other flashing indication that it is an MS site
Wait... you might see a Google banner there. You never know how far MS can go!
So, they released this feature some 2-3 months in advance ONLY TO ME??????
How can others innovate while Amazon has a patent on "Innovation" itself?!

So, that leaves out even the last option of sending tall astronauts to Mars.
