I saved a list of all neighborhoods , I'm really saddened by the decisions, because I think fondly of those sites. I know for a fact a lot of dead people left pages there, I remember a deceased five year old little girl that was fan of sailor moon. Romanticizing, I think of it like tearing apart the ruins of an old city because it's not worth the cost of maintenance.
The thing is I'm out of the US and I can't buy on amazon, while I can still buy from iTunes Store even is their terms says I can't and whatever.
So, we (people permanently or temporarily outside of the US) are screwed.
I second that, I had tried like 4 or 5 times to buy the damn thing, one over the phone, and for some reason that order got canceled too. It's like they don't want my money (which the last time was CASH on bank account debit card that cost me a hell of trouble to gather). I'm getting tired of this so they better take care of handling orders more efficiently
Sadly people don't seem to remember history to well, and teaching people to think is contrary to their objetives so, this will repeat forever until a machine is the new dictator
he never intended to pass that art as his own,and Todd did, also todd hasnt added anything valuable to design, and roy lichtenstein did interesting stuff bringing comics and the dots. Personally, I hope Todd Goldman art thief rots in hell.
The advertised wireless range is not accurate, I get sound with lot of hiccups even 5 feet aways, and then 10 feets away I get good quality, so the sound quality varies a lot and the speakers are kind of picky.
Also the 24 battery life must not be true. I use rechargable batteries, that may be 6 months old, but they die pretty soon while being inside the speakers (9-11 hours).
The one thing that really annoys me is that I HATE the fact that the remote controls doesnt work unless the application is opened and is the current window. If for some reason something takes over (like screen saver) they wont work. That sucks, every multimedia keyboards that I know can pause and play music even if the music player is minimized and youre doing something else.

iTunes is Malware?

It doesn't stop there. Everything has always been step by step. Remember playlist burning or sharing? It was unlimited (sharing) , then limited, then limited more. So what keeps apple from updating iTunes with a "mandatory" upgrade (ie awesome feature or new product support) that forces the mini store or the data mining?. Don't be naive.
Just a correction, its not java based DRM , is Java based interactivity , the sameone most of the set top boxes and mobile device have used for years and that microsoft sees as a threat.
Microsoft wants Blu-Ray to use their competing last minute iHD interactivity , that will be integrated with Vista , so that are his true motives
And people , please stop confusing slow java applets with a robust and well executed Java languange.
In contrast with Microsoft propietary garbage and DRM? Everything is propietary on both sides , and everything would have DRM on both sides. BUT , on HD-DVD side, a flavor of windows is needed (media center pc , windowsCE.NET) , and thats why MS is backing it up. Im not being rational on prefering Blu-Ray ADDITIONAL measures (ROM mark , watermarking) , but I hope they can be cracked and I dont want Microsoft shaping and controlling (most likely crippling) yet another technology on other plattaforms just because they dont want cross plattaform competing java to succeed ( which is understandable , but then again microsoft is in a monopoly position)
I sure hope so.
Microsoft just wants their iHD included because they dont want to support Java. java is well established in set top boxes, mobile devices, and the like , and Microsoft sees that as a threat.
Microsoft just cares for iHD and then Managed Copy just to make windows the hub for that..if Blue Ray has is, then they dont care who wins. PC manufacturers just want to jump on the windows side and cash in of course , its business , and has nothing to do with customers. Personally , I hope Sony doesnt give them the advantage to control and shape yet another technology, cripple other plataforms and burden customers.
And about Managed copy, we dont know how well thatll turn out: How many copies? can they be streamed simultaneously? in a day? what if I have a big apartment and I stream to the whole network? can they change terms? will it cost? in what format? which player? who gets the license fee for the DRM? Will they track my copy?
Family and friends that just want you to see their videos and they dont know better..you should get out of your high horse. People dont need to know everything about computers.

Why wait? I just ordered mine for that very purpose too :)
It also took forever to load home page the first time, and if it's gonna be like using iTunes Music Store...thanks but no thanks

I wish I had modpoints, thanks, you really shed some light on the intentions for this issue

yeah , pretty sneaky, there must be a reason for that. I dont think that the newness of the processors are a valid reason.
I suppose it had to do with branding. Either way Picasa is a great freeware picture managing sofware
puedo means can , good translation :)

Im so tired. I feel very tired and discouraged this week. "Fighting" against Microsoft is very, very difficult...Sender ID, RSS , everything...
I didnt know the term so I appreaciate it, too bad I dont have mod points..
