Hahaha, you brought up clippy. I don't know what's funnier, the stupid paperclip, or desperate nerds rehashing the same old jokes in vain attempts to get laughs..
HD-DVD supports the same codec. You'll have to boycott that too. Tell you what, why don't you spare us your stupid posts and boycott computers altogether..
No mention of capacity. I'll bet it's about as big a splash as their 'dragon' cpu, which ran at about the speed of a pentium 2, when released, last year I think, when it comes out able to hold about a CD's worth of data...
The players can be certified and work with more than one codec, HD-DVD supports apple's and microsoft's codecs, where as BD-ROM doesn't support apple's codec (afaik).
What are the advantages if any to using the competing HD-DVD versus BD-ROM? It seems they will come out at the same time, BD-ROM will have more space and use the same advanced codecs, negating any advantage HD-DVD had. In other words, why would ANYONE buy HD-DVD..?
Not a real quote, but you get the point. Thought 10Gbits sounds like overkill, maybe in 2010 will be using it to download Ultra high definition TV movies to those 1TB holographic discs that slashdot just covered, and other things of that sort.
where if you search for some text that's not on a page and press F1 when the OK box appears, ie crashes.. not that anyone has probably ran into it (besides me)..
It's been a mixed bag, I love not having to mess with glasses and contacts and the vision is perfect 20/20 (from about 20/80), but since I had it a year ago I've had 2 eye infections that required antibiotic treatment drops and I always wake up with extremely dry eyes. I'd do it again though.

More "innovation" from apple.
"There was once a day that Bill Gates proclaimed that no user would ever require more than 8 kb of storage."
No, there wasn't. Stop pulling things out of your ass.
"Nobody needs more than 640K"

Everybody's waiting on somebody else, they should all just do what they can and wait for everyone else to catch up, imo.
shacknews said this was a hoax, then the post was removed, what's going on?
And the guy was wrong and admitted it further down this thread. idiots.
Cool they fixed it, I wonder if it was because of the bug reports I filed, or if they found it independently.

Maybe it's you who doesn't realize that your humor is so boring that it's not funny?
I run a tinfoil hat company, you're bad for business!
As a second job, you could go around correcting the "bill gayts sed we only need 640k!" people.
