This thing syncs over the internet. That means you're gonna wasting your data transfer quota by using this thing. With other sync devices, your PC connects to your phone, no middle man. (Free ringtones!)
For a list of good phones to use with OS X, check this out.
1. The lyrics are common, "I love you" or something.
2. The lyrics are babble, "Thunder, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah"
3. The song is extremely rare.
If we had more of a phoenetic search engine, this would be easier. (Kind of like when you misspell something in google and it gives you a suggestion, but if it were phoenetic, it wouldn't have to)
Examples of hard to find songs if you don't know the name:
Pirates by Bullets and Octane Broken Bird by Eleven Eleven Anything by Cherry Monroe
Those are just a few examples from my music library that took forever to find out who the artist was.
I understand this as well, except to the greater level. (I have a fiancee)
Advice to all you unmarried men out there, get the big screen television before you get engaged. There's nothing worse then, "A washer and dryer are more important then a 38 inch flat screen." Like hell they are!
2) songs, by humming a bar or a line of lyrics (not necessarily the title).
Heck, I'm still waiting for a good lyrics search feature in iTunes (or the like). It sucks trying to find some songs based on lyrics (especially when you get the words wrong.
It took me forever to find out who sang "Hit me Davey one more time" (and Brittany supposedly just recently became white trash)
Or if you don't need hot swappables, just go with their 2GB Bigger Disk. Either way, they've got a max speed of 85MB/s, which is almost 3x the speed of the holographic drives.
I'll say again, these are only useful if you have a HUGE optical platter. Otherwise, you're not going to be saving space and you'll actually be sacrificing speed.
The access time is pretty much the only good feature in these things. If I were to store regularly needed data, I'd prolly just use a Firewire 800 external drive. It's not disk-based like the holo drives, but Lacie already makes them in 1.5 terabyte sizes. They're almost 4 times faster (28MB/s vs 100MB/s) at read/write then the holographic drives, and they're considerably smaller, and prolly apt to be far cheaper.
The only area that holographic drives would come in handy is when you need extremely large data sizes. 1 terabyte is gonna be pretty hard to fill up, and considering that this thing will take up about as much space as 2 or 3 Lacie drives, we're looking at something capable of storing 5 TB before it's at all worth it.
Who needs the command line? I actually deleted about 6000 MP3's about a month ago for doing a "Select All" -> "Delete" when I didn't know that I was in my iTunes music directory....Yeah, I know... that's what I get for downloading all of that music without paying for it.
"It should be no surprise that alternate browsers--or alternate operating systems, for that matter--contain flaws."
This is right after the line that says, "Six vulnerabilities were reported in Opera and none in Safari." So it basically says, "The default OS X browser didn't have flaws, but anything that isn't M$ or IE has flaws." I just don't follow this train of thought.
I also noticed that if you add an 'i' to fred, you get "fired". I hope his bosses notice the connection.
Hello!
This guy said that he had sources at Apple who gave him all of this info on new and upcoming products. You infer that Apple is going on a witch hunt. It's not a random subpoena.
They could have thought, "Apple's coming out with this? Well, we have a month to figure out how to counter this."
However, they prolly just thought "Apple? They're still around? Oh well, we own like 25% of the company anyway."
With the first thought, you could argue, "Well, then leaking info like that would just help companies to compete quicker, speeding up innovation," and yes, I'll give you that, but I just grow wary of NDA's being bypassed that easily. What would prevent a developer from going to the press and saying, "I want you to tell EXACTLY how my company made this..."
Every so often, people mention Apple being mean and heavy handed in this instance, but think about what you would have done in their shoes.
Apple has had multiple leaks over the past few months.
- 60 GB iPod - OS X 10.4 - iPod Shuffle - iPod Mini
So, basically everything they plan to come out with gets leaked. They need to prove that their NDA's mean something. They asked for the source, couldn't get it, so they subpoenad. Then, the guy supboenad said he wouldn't reveal his sources because of freedom of the press or something, so Apple sued.
It's crucial that companies be able to protect their information. Can I divulge business sensitive information to reporters because I know they can't reveal me as their source?
Figured I'd get modded to troll for that. What I mean to say, since it appearently needs further explaination, generally if you just avoid going to porn and warez sites, you can fairly safely avoid pop ups and pop unders and the like.

true true... but it gets hard when:
1. The lyrics are common, "I love you" or something.
2. The lyrics are babble, "Thunder, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah"

Not true. I've subscribed to the GameStop card thing twice. Try going in and buying $200 worth of used video games.
That's when the guys there say, "Did you know if you buy this $10 card you save $20 and get this magazine subscription?"
My reply, "So you give me $10 and a free 1-year subscription to this magazine? Why not?"

Lacie Biggest F800... RAID hot swappable drives.
Stack that with 400 GB drives and it's far smaller then the beast of a machine that they need to read the holographic drives.
Or if you don't need hot swappables, just go with their 2GB Bigger Disk. Either way, they've got a max speed of 85MB/s, which is almost 3x the speed of the holographic drives.

Why don't we just create our own Bender PC? ...with blackjack, and hookers. In fact, forget the PC.

I think your keyboard codec is broken. I was getting a lot of pops and noise.
If a $90 pair of headphones makes your audio sound worse then you really need to reconsider your purchases.
What kind of "various amounts of hardware" are you talking about in an argument that was started about laptops?
Thanks. I bet you're right. I might have to take another look at XCode.

From M$ perspective....
They could have thought, "Apple's coming out with this? Well, we have a month to figure out how to counter this."
However, they prolly just thought "Apple? They're still around? Oh well, we own like 25% of the company anyway."

In my experience, XCode is incredibly slow for building a smaller ( 20 files) application.
XCode is far too bulky for most projects (which means just about anything you're going to program alone.)

Has anyone asked the camels how they feel about this?
Man. That sounds like playing WoW but without the crappy servers.
But yeah, that's the worst part about sharing music online.
1. People save it as MP3, though AAC and OGG are far better formats.
2. People save them in 128K, and that's just not good enough.
Figured I'd get modded to troll for that. What I mean to say, since it appearently needs further explaination, generally if you just avoid going to porn and warez sites, you can fairly safely avoid pop ups and pop unders and the like.
yes, but do you look at pr0n?
anyone have a mirror?
