My litmus test for anime becoming mainstream is when people will talk about a film like Spirited Away or Perfect Blue (that is to say, no fighting robots), and not call it an anime film -- or see it because the story is good, not because it's "anime".
Somewhere we are finally getting with CGI movies.
As for the music videos, I was not implying Linking Park was the first, it is just a prime example of how it has reached the mainstream (and looks damn cool in the process).
Personally, I find it interesting to see how anime is having a greater influence in all art forms with time. It has gone from a cult-ish art form to now being featured in music videos (Linkin Park's sensational "Breaking the Habit") as well as a majestic scene in Tarantino's Kill Bill. And these are the obvious ones. As the article says, we have seen it in the Matrix, etc. This is not something that is going away anytime soon...
Starting with the new headphone jack that's also a mini-optical plug. So you can watch DVDs and listen to them in 5.1 surround sound. You'll also find a passel of USB 2.0 and FireWire 400 connectors for your camera, camcorder or gamepad. Or if you want to connect your iMac to your TV or a digital projector, the mini-VGA port gives you the option. The line in jack lets you record an electric guitar into GarageBand
Kind of funny, how silly this makes Windows Media Center PCs look. Even small form-factor cubes don't look as sexy as this. Exactly the type of machine that could adorn any room in a house. Good work, Apple.
Yeah, I know it might be a "different" ipod, but I guess I am just personlly biased against portable video players. Maybe if Apple makes one, though, it might be what it takes to get me into them. Love my ipod.:)
Yeah, I don't know what some people are thinking. I am guessing it is a fanboy thing. Most likely, you just hit a nerve with some people. I don't see how it is flamebait or trolling, as it is pretty plain to see. The same thing happens to actors - they get stuck in a genre, with very few being able to break out (a la Jim Carrey). At least getting modded down means people are taking notice.:)
1) Why do they feel the need to complicate the iPod? People love the fact that it does one primary thing, and does it brilliantly. The iPod is expensive enough without any more frills.
2) If they are just looking for an engineer now, just think how long before any product sees the light of day.
Don't know why this is getting modded down. It is very true. People did not respond well to Smith's attempts to break his own mold, and in essence, he has been forced back into the shell that made him popular in the beginning.
However, I would not place all of the blame on Smith, but probably more on the studio.
Slashdot Mirror
Probably will put it in the next iteration. Screw the early adopters and all right? :)
Hahah yes, I have a gf, and have had many. And I guarantee you not a one has said anything about my nails. You from Beverly Hills or something? :)
Sent. Enjoy!
No mention of the DRM restrictions on the songs...
Yes, but no less effective in making a great scene. Might be over the top, but cool as all hell.
Okay, thanks. Very helpful. Now if only more companies were this open-minded about using AMD.
but AMD will have four of parts running inside an HP ProLiant DL585 server at its Austin plant later today.
Does this mean HP is offically ditching the Itanium2? If so, strange move, albeit likely a smart one...
Well said. Same holds true for music (indie and such)...

Sprited Away sucked bigtime if you ask me. If I want an Americanized anime flick, Princess Mononoke is the best.
Cleaning the contacts of the USB drive after it makes through the laundry.
:)
Shouldn't the detergent do the cleaning for you?
it includes such useful items as a ballpoint pen, red light, scissors, nail file, and not surprisingly, a knife.
Okay a few things:
1. Wow, a red light! Thats so...useful?
2. What the f*ck does a techie that buys this need a NAIL FILE for?!?!
Agreed. Apple wants to run your house, and unlike Microsoft, they seem to be going about it the right way.
This looks like the LCD monitor I just got
This would be boring, but um, yeah, it also has a fast as hell computer inside of it.
Hopefully Virginia Tech won't take all of them...

EXCELLENT point. Via wifi or bluetooth or whatever, this would be great. Sort of like "beaming" things on a Palm...

Two thoughts:
1) Why do they feel the need to complicate the iPod? People love the fact that it does one primary thing, and does it brilliantly. The iPod is expensive enough without any more frills.
2) If they are just looking for an engineer now, just think how long before any product sees the light of day.

Guess you have to screw up a little to realize it's just best to stick with what works. :)
Jepson claims the service will charge a twenty-five cent connection fee for each call, and seven to fourteen cents per minute.
Hopefully this will deter the telemarketers. That's my biggest fear.
Even funnier considering MOS transistors don't have a B,C, or E. Try drain, source, and gate. :)
