All flash memory has been smaller than a penny and weigh less than a drop of water for a long time. Adding a package-on-package controller is an obvious next step. There's no big revolution happening here.
While much is made out of the lock-in that FairPlay provides, Apple has a majority market share only in digital audio players. The majority of music is not played on portable digital devices and the majority of music sold is not downloadable. The iTunes Store competes against stores that sell non-DRM'ed CDs. Steve's keynotes have made a big deal on the ranking of the iTunes store versus the likes of Amazon, Walmart, and Target. As long as iTunes store music is DRM'ed, it will never be able to compete on a level playing field against CD sales.
How many slashdotters would never buy music from the store while the music is DRM'ed? How many might consider it an option once DRM is gone?
Sure spiffy integration would be great. But if 70% of cars just give me an audio line in, I'll be happy. Last car I bought and my last trip to the car radio section at Best Buy a couple of months ago this definitely wasn't the case.
I was forwarded a Slashdot job opening which included (among other things) something to the effect of summarizing posted comments into a x word article.
Quitting my job to work for Slashdot was a very tempting thought. Looks like timothy took the dive.

Except that was during the dot-com bubble and this is in the middle of a recession. You can't say there's a hype bubble now.
Ok, it shouldn't be too long. What number can we reach you at?
Shorter methods.
Touche. I probably would have gone with "new flash still smaller than a quarter, still doesn't explode in your system."
I guess Slashdot submissions also have to be "sold" to the editors to be front page worthy.

Some people only know how to laugh when there's a giant foot.
> trades under AAPL, not APPL.
That pretty much proves the point, doesn't it?
Maaaadness. I'd be driven to insanity viewing the world through your narrow 30 column window.

Where does he blame only Quicktime? He says it's involved in a problem, which it is. Quicktime *plus* Toshiba *plus* Vista.

The part that's puzzling is why we need to summon all the readers of the Slashdot front page to fix this guy's laptop.
I'll write the followup headline...

What, did they really think the users would be filling the extra space?

If that is the measure, then Firefox and IE both lost the browser wars?
I'm just sayin....
yes

Because I didn't know about it. Today's my day for news.
Really? I was thinking more John Ritter:

Yeah, it's like the taggers can read my mind. Crazy.

Oh, I see where you're going with this. The quality of posts/timely news angle. Ok, maybe they'll listen to that. Give it a shot.
Good luck with that.
Ok. Done. Your welcome.
What in the world are you doing reading the articles on Slashdot? Who does that?
