Dressing up as Steve Jobs is not only the easiest to make Halloween costume ever(Black turtleneck and jeans), you can also wear the costume to work at a lot of places!
I wonder if they used gas, sprinklers, both, or neither? The gases they use to put out fires near computers tend to leave the computers unharmed, but the same can't be said for people...the sprinklers of course do the opposite. Then again, the article mentions that gas canisters exploded, so maybe they could have taken out a lot of the fire protection mechanisms with them...
Considering the rootkit is spread by users clicking links and has NOTHING at all to do with the protocol, I'd have to go ahead and have to say yeah, it can spread via any client that lets you click on links and I'd also have to say RTFA
Meh, drop the elitist attitude. Some people just don't care about the DRM. Don't call me dumb, don't call me a slave. I saw what was out there, and I decided to go with iTunes. Just because you don't like it does not make my choice any less valid. People on this site can't seem to realize that perfectly intelligent people have opinions and priorities that differ from theirs and then proceed to call anyone whose opinion differ from there "the unwashed masses".
look at the sega channel.....interesting idea but it never really caught on. It did give users a chance to use a whole bunch of games that they may have not played otherwise, but I think the consensus was they would rather invest their time/money into a game they could play at their own pace.
I ran this under Virtual PC on my 1.5Ghz G4 powerbook and found that 93% of the systems scanned by the Game Advisor rank higher in performance than your system.
Shhh...the little groupthinking parrots are trying to mimick eachother, you'll disrupt the groupthink with your "logic"
Please, someone think of the groupthink!
Heh, it's even better than $400(well, depending on the exchange rate I suppose). If you were given a perfect exchange rate, at today's rates, 1 dollar = 115 yen. 40,000 yen would be a tiny bit less than $350....
Or the next step is to RTFA and realize they are just using iPods as glorified USB memory sticks, ie to transport the images, not view them.
Jeez, slashdot has gotten REALLY lame recently, more than half the comments are from extremely opinionated people who don't even bother to read the article....
Does the color of what I am watching affect the amount of ghosting?
Example: on my old iBook, I would get a ton of bluryness while watching Simpsons/Family guy DVDs(esp. Simpsons ones), however even when watching fast motion on anime dvds(they tend to use different tones) I wouldn't really notice it at all. Can someone smarter than me explain this?
Every time I hear one of these "In Japan, great cell phones!" posts I always chuckle at an accessory in common use in Japan is a plastic case that contains 4 AA(maybe AAA I forget) batteries that plugs into the power port. Why use such an ugly abomination? Because the battery life on those phones with a zillion features sucks. My 40 euro little dinky motorola phone can last me from Monday till Friday on one charge; that never happened when I lived in Japan. Also, about the whole predictive text input: when I was living in the US, my 4+ year old crappy phone had predictive text input in English, not all that advanced of a feature.....
With the lens it comes with, your pictures are still probably going to look like crap, no matter how many pixels you use. A better lens however would make the phone bulkier and more expensive....Camera phones are great for those "slice of life" moments(example, here in Germany I saw a grifter with a live alpaca, but alas I had no camera to share the moment with everyone!) when you don't have a camera, but even then, do you really need 2 megapixels? Esp. for something you are probably just going to throw up on the web...
about. And honestly, how many "enthusiastic" windows users do you know? Not to knock the capabilities of windows, it does a certain job, and admittedly does serve some niches very well. However, I know a lot of computer users, and I know of Linux enthusiasts, Mac enthusiast, even an BeOS enthusiast, but I have NEVER met a windows enthusiast who isn't making money off of Microsoft or supporting their stuff.....Honestly it just doesn't offer much to get excited about.
Yeah, it's capable of playing them, but it would kill the battery life even further. If you have to load more data, that means more hard drive spinning which means more power, which means less battery life. The things have a very short batterly life when playing video as it is(2 hours for the 30g, 3 for the 40), so playing higher res. content will kill your battery life. You can also load 1024x768 photos on the iPod photo, but why would you? It won't make a difference...
The worst thing about the videos is that(as far as I can see, I may be wrong) if you get a music video, you don't get the song with it. If the music videos came with the song so that I could put it on my iPod it would be a great deal at $1.99, but as it stands, I don't want to pay $3 for the song I can listen to on my non-video iPod plus the video...

The article mentions no details of what this bad boy will actually cost. If it's too expensive, who will actually use it?

Shhhhh...You'll disturb the groupthink! Slashdot can't stand people who don't go with groupthink!
You obviously need to brush up on it yourself, because YOU FAIL IT!

But what kind of optical zoom do you get on that? Fine for close up shots, but without optical zoom, you are going to miss a lot

What is the metric equivalent of fpsFC/dollar?
You were warned!
Not to mention poor hygeine!

You can not have any ringtone at all, It's called "manner mode", try it sometime!
