Like many other Macintosh users, I downloaded the iWorks '08 trial and promptly purchased it. I've used OpenOffice/NeoOffice (on Linux and Mac OS). iWork looks, feels, and behaves like a native program. *Office doesn't.
I was going to post this myself. Thanks for saving me the effort:)
I don't understand this story. Can someone give a car analogy please? OK, how's this then.. You buy a car for a reduced price, but you have to use only the dealer's brand of fuel for 3 years. When your contract is up, you find that you're still stuck using that fuel because it won't run on anyone elses brand.
Yes, I realise you were joking, but I could't help myself:)
check out the systems by DVtel. You can use your existing analog cameras, hook each one to their encoder boxs.
Or, use Axis IP cameras along with Dvtel's Latitude software, or mix and match encoders with IP cameras.
I work with the Dvtel gear a bit, and it is very impressive.
Tell that to the hundreds of users who have just bought they first machine and thing that MS Antispyware will protect them.
How many of these hundreds would have actually installed it, considering it's their first machine and it doesn't get automatically installed by Windows Update?
I'm really disappointed in the PPC version of FireFox. It's slow and chews up RAM. I've gone back to Safari, however am underwhelmed by the lack of ad-blocking plugins. PithHelmet is OK, but something like the AdBlock plugin for Firefox would be much nicer.
Apple should have a cut down free version for Mac owners, with lower bandwidth etc. Remove some of the features such as Groups, iDisk and Backup, reduce the webspace allocated for iWeb and Photocasting.
Those that want the extra features will be prepared to pay for it.
The current 60 day trial and then either stop using it or pay AU$139.95 is not really enticing to me.

Good thing it wasn't a WWF game, Ballmer would have thrown a chair at him...
Speaking of warnings...
If ever you come to Australia, be wary of the Darwin Stubby - only available for sale in the Northern Territory.

I at one stage had it running on a NetVista 2800, using it as a thin client to remote into various other machines. Worked great, except for the 60Hz refresh rate making my eyes bleed.
It's a power meter for the battery. Push the button and the LEDs light showing the level of charge in the battery.
Mine works fine.
Pity the rest of the Compaq laptop is average - serves me right for buying a laptop with a desktop CPU in it.
Performance is great, the heat and battery life are not. The LCD panel however seems to be quite decent - certainly haven't had an issue with image quality.

I suggest they call it:
MObile FirefOx
Then, we can abbreviate that to Mofo.

I think you might mean 6230i.. and charge your battery more frequently.

What are you talking about ? It works perfectly fine in my Safari browser since day one.
Same here. Looks perfect in Safari to me.
What, so they're re-filming it, this time with a better story???
Now I can use my iPod with more than just the free downloads from iTMS!
Oh, come on... you were thinking it too!
150 Mac Minis and not a beowulf cluster joke in sight?

Release your product in Australia! Or at the very least, in Europe, so that there is a native PAL version that we can grey import...
FYI, there is a small community of Tivo users here already. http://minnie.tuhs.org/twiki/bin/view

It might just be me, but I can't really see a downside to this.

I'm Australian, and can honestly say no-one I know has ever used the word 'transferbangle'.
What a crock of shit.

The only people I know who still use VCRs regularly, are those with young kids.
VHS tape is a damn sight easier for a kid to manage than a DVD, also a lot less likely to be damaged by said kids.
Even my father just got rid of his VCR from lack of use - and that's saying something..
Interesting, that the blogs subtitle is:
:D
If it's not on fire, then it's a software problem.
Looks like you're about to have a hardware problem
Who's going to be taken out the back and shot quietly for that one?
I won't be buying one for quite a while anyhow.
I will however be buying up on cheap 2nd hand Xboxes for XBMC purposes. One in every room is my aim.
