How about iChat AV, where your phone camera is your bluetoothed camera for iChat, and then your cellular GPRS network is through your phone for actual video instant messaging?
Hey, we're allowed to leave. We're just too stupid and think things will fundamentally get bettter with a change to the Democrats next month...Of course, it will only be worse if the Republicans win.
Take your iPod, plug it into another Mac, and log into that home directory. Where there has never been a user account for that home directory on the host Mac.
What you described can be done with OS X as well. I've done it on my iPod for about 4 years now. Install a bunch of disk tools on the iPod, and you have a great troubleshooting device.
...automounting home directories where there isn't a user account. It's the where clause that no one has quite come up with before. Maybe thought of it, but never figured out how to implement it. Even Apple has struggled with it for a couple of years now.
But this makes you choose between your 8GB of music and your 8GB of apps+docs. Not a whole lot of room if you start sharing that space.
I would assume that they would allow, or maybe require!, the music directory to not be synced, since in theory it's on the music side of the iPod. Mine, however, is on a separate, larger partition.
At the time, according to some, the real problem was the hard drive of the iPod it isn't/wasn't designed to be used as a real HD, running for hours continuously. Hence the cache and spin up/spin down. Yeah, it saves on battery life, but it also saves the HD life.
But I still put OS X, drive utils & my home dir there. Very nice if you have accounts on your work & home mac. And my iPod is still going 4 yrs later, so I guess it wasn't too hard, or I got lucky.
And what a perfect place to point out that the VAST majority of Windowsusers don't have the technical smarts to address or fix the issues related to viruses & spyware. And apparently the maker of the OS doesn't either. Hence the reason there are still cottage industries that support fixing these issues. Industries!
Slashdot Mirror
You really want to have 500 network home directory users indexing your fileservers, possibly all at once?
Seems a bit harsh on the server.
I see your point for indexing some data volumes, but they're not typically automounted, unless you have a very static user profile.
A bit skanky?
Even on Slashdot, that's pretty low standards.
Hey, my 5 yr old thinks fart jokes are very funny.
Shhhh, don't tell them about @pplescript!
That's good. We'll have to remember that when we're in an ACTUAL war. You know, with a declaration of war from Congress, and not just the Emperor.

At least it sounds less complicated!

Yeah, but Spotlight ain't too shabby.

You're missing the point.

I agree in theory, it would be a nice device.
But this makes you choose between your 8GB of music and your 8GB of apps+docs. Not a whole lot of room if you start sharing that space.

I don't know if you were trying to be funny or not, but this cracked me up.
"Evolution has not equipped man to deal with genetic modification"
Ummm, YES IT HAS!!

pick any one.
No, I think they should really make a point.
Every machine that is hackable, make sure that 100.0000% of the vote is assigned to the libertarian/green/etc party. Or the JustNotGeorgeBush party.
Make everyone, even the media, actually notice how horrible this problem is to the whole country.
I wonder if Apple/Steve Jobs could just walk in to Paul Otellini's office and ask for the $1M check?
Um, OS X already can. They just don't sell the boxes yet.

Ask Carl Sagan... ye old butt head astronomer.
If they're convicted monopolists, then yes.
You forgot the potential for massive drive-by 'virusing' via ad-hoc wireless.
I see that the Zune downloads a file from another wireless point. Then syncs back with PC and viruses galore.
Lots of potential there.
And ironically, it will use the wireless security holes first 'shown' on a MacBook at Security Focus.
