I have a problem much before that. He assumes Sony will last long enough to make the Playstation 6. He also assumes Sony will make a Playstation after the PS3. I predict Apple will simply buy Sony. There, it's easy to predict things, isn't it?
Nobody would have predicted Sonic games on Nintendo hardware 20 years ago.
Thanks for the tip. I'm going to put superglue on four sides of my packages from now on. Your hydraulic diverter arms will add four bonus packages to my own.
The media industries are stuck in the age of selling their stuff on physical media, and I bet if it were up to them they would never had sold magnetic tapes to begin with. They said tapes would kill them. They said VHS would kill them. Etc, etc.
They're scared of the internet for the right reasons, because it makes distributing media extremely efficient and easy, but instead of using that to their advantage they're reacting in the worst possible manner. They're trying to close up the open internet and turn it into a private, access-controlled media distribution channel. Too bad it wasn't designed that way.
My local brick-and-mortar video store has DVDs for rent, 3$ for new releases, 1$ for older movies. But on iTunes, new releases are 6$ (HD) and 5$ (SD) to rent, older movies (I'll use Terminator 2 for my example) are... 5$ (HD) and 4$ (SD). Wow, thirteen years later and it's a whole dollar less to rent it. They really don't get it.
If a lawyer sells paperwork to 19 people for 20$ that amounts to losses of 5000$, how come other individuals are sued for million dollars amounts? How exactly did it go from 1~250 million to 263.16$ per person sued?
The guy should let the lawsuit go through and set a precedent of 263.16$ as the amount the RIAA/MPAA/USCG/etc can sue a person for. No more, no less.
Also works on the new Mac minis. The port is standard as far as connector and data go, but they use double the 500mA specified by the USB specs.
It probably will work with all newer Mac models from now on. Nothing prevents other companies to also support 1A through their USB ports. If enough of them do it, it could become USB 2.1 or something.
The same could almost be said for USB 3. What's the point of USB 3 when there's eSATA? USB 3 is too slow for connecting a monitor, we already have ethernet ports... You either move forward or you'll get stuck with parallel ports, serial ports, SCSI, etc.
It's also a chicken-egg problem, device manufacturers won't make anything compatible with LightPeak until there is at least some computers with it.
I think they want to make USB 3 obsolete before it has a chance to really take off. Yes, I'm sure you can give me real-world examples of USB 3 hardware already for sale but it's not widespread yet.
I'd bet that there's more DisplayPort/mini DisplayPort hardware than USB 3 hardware at this point.
Let's drop VGA, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, FireWire 400, FireWire 800, USB 3 and only use two types of ports: USB 2.0 for the low-cost/low-bandwidth stuff and LightPeak for everything else.
Wait, what about my old EZ135 SCSI drive? Those carts have 135 MEGABYTES each! That's a lot of data! Oh, my USB flash drive can store 118 of those carts, never mind.

Could be worst. It could be the entire lyrics.

Food, water, a cave, high-speed internet, blackjack and hookers.
Because Adobe are extremely confident in the security of Adobe Reader?
Why is it called Adobe Reader anyway? Can it read PSD and AI files too?
Food, water, a cave and high-speed internet.
Copyrights used to have a fixed length too. If patents ever get their own Mickey Mouse, then it's going to be 25 years, then 50, etc.
Didn't patents used to require at least a prototype?
I bet someone has already patented terra-forming and dyson spheres.
Even worst, you could wake up dead tomorrow!

Let's hope they won't hit the magma layers, otherwise it will open up a gateway to another dimension, causing an attack by giant alien creatures.
Just remember that it's okay if you promise to send him the money by mail!

My first Mac mini only had a DVI output but came with a DVI->VGA adaptor.
My new Mac mini ("unibody") has both HDMI and mini DisplayPort on the back but came with an HDMI->DVI adaptor.
Also works on the new Mac minis. The port is standard as far as connector and data go, but they use double the 500mA specified by the USB specs.

Cables are a bit annoying for something you're supposed to be holding in your arms and walking around with.
Apple already has an external USB Superdrive available for sale.

The title is not the beginning of the first paragraph.
Fortunately for us, Nintendo, Blizzard and Valve don't play by those rules.
