I'd rather hear from developers actually working with it.
The problem is, all the developers are under NDA, and after seeing their co-worker get fired for saying something that didn't even violate his NDA, they aren't about to open their mouths.
Just because you haven't heard from the developers doesn't mean it isn't true.
I totally agree. The trailers are never as good as the movies turn out to be. I remember how underwhelmed I was with The Incredibles teaser trailer with Mr. Incredible trying to squeeze into his costume. But that movie turned out to be great. Same thing with the Monsters Inc. trailer with Mike and Sully doing their schtick. The movie was way better.
I'm going to give Cars a chance.
You are right, the temperature was below freezing that day. I know because I was at KSC and saw the launch in person. I'm from California and wasn't used to that kind of cold. I didn't have any gloves and got a minor case of frostbite on my fingers while trying to hold my camera. I remember stopping at a gas station on the way to KSC and I looked over at some nearby bushes and there were icicles hanging from them. It was probably the coldest weather I've ever experienced.
I was at KSC during the launch and saw it live and in person. I can tell you there was no "boom" that one typically associates with the sound of an explosion. The best way to describe the sound was more like a "whooshing" sound, like the sound of rushing air or water. Based upon what I heard that day, I am convinced there was no explosion.
I was vacationing in Florida at the time and saw it live and in person. It was the first and only shuttle launch I've ever seen. It's true that although it looked like an explosion, it didn't really sound like one. It's kind of hard to describe what it sounded like, kind of like the sound of rushing air, not the boom of an explosion.
What I remember most about that day was the bitter cold. I was born and raised in Southern California, and so I wasn't used to cold like that. I didn't have any gloves and I remember getting frostbite on my fingers while trying to hold my camera.
I also remember the voice of the mission control announcer sounded very stressed as he first told us that they had "lost contact with the orbiter", then "rescue units are moving into position". They locked down Kennedy Space Center for one hour and nobody was allowed to enter or exit.
I also remember watching all the little bits and pieces falling to Earth afterwards. Stuff was falling out of the sky for what seemed like half an hour. It looked a little like the very last shot in the movie Independence Day.
I don't think I will ever forget that day.
When the Pentium first came out, I figured that future generations would continue that naming convention (e.g., Sextium, Octium, etc.) What generation are they at now? Shouldn't it be called Decium or something?
Not to mention the fact the the Series2 is now like 4 years old. I can understand being upset if the Series2 had just come out six months ago, but the Series3 is long, long overdue.
The only reason I use FireFox at all is for tabbed browsing. Since IE 7 will have tabbed browsing and whole lot more, there will be no reason for me to use FireFox anymore. I expect a lot of people (not the Microsoft haters, of course) will feel the same way. I have no spyware problems with IE because I keep my system well protected using a combination of Microsoft's Antispyware and a couple of others for backup. Plus IE gives me 100% compatibility with all the sites I visit (there are still some sites that don't work with FireFox).

My iRiver has optical input/output jacks - try getting that on an iPod.

Does it come with a bunch of little guys inside who stoke the furnace?
