I have one and I was trying to figure out why it wasn't mentioned along side the 3 others. Don't get me wrong, I'm really excited to see what Popbox and the new boxee have to offer, but so far the WD TV Live is really impressive for media streaming. For such a tiny little box it handles every high def x264 I throw at it as well as tons of other formats. Streaming is super fast and there is virtually no delay even when playing, fast forwarding, rewinding huge 1080p movies over my network. The only thing they're missing is a nice interface like the popbox seems it will have when it comes out. WD TV Live definitely deserves to be a contender though.
I just don't get why Google doesn't just buy out palm and turn WebOS (currently only on the Palm Pre) into a desktop OS. We all expect WebOS to eventually be ported over to netbooks and other devices, and truthfully it seems way more polished than android or any other mobile OS out there. It basically already has the capability to do everything google is looking to accomplish with this new Chrome OS.
I agree that well educated teachers are extremely important for educating children, but your view of a bachelor's degree obviously stems from some sort of liberals arts degree at a crappy institution. If you've ever taken engineering/science/math courses at a reputable top 10-20 school then you'd have a lot more respect for what it takes to finish a bachelor degree. Receiving a masters degree in many science/math majors will do very little for a teacher in a 7th grade science class.
The Bush Administration is pushing for bigger government, great... just great. He's a Republican too? I'm so confused. yea, sadly Republican isn't as synonymous with "conservative" as it should be. Bush has done many things that just have no place in conservative politics. Sadly, this is why most voters go to the polls with the "lesser of two evils" mindset than a strong support for any specific candidate.
I may be missing something since I've been so used to identical sizes in currency for so many years, but it seems that it would be extremely awkward to design different size currency that could fit in standard US wallets. Would this mean that your new money would be popping out in all different directions, and even in the best case everyone in the US would just have to buy all new wallets? Before this happens, I'm investing in some wallet companies!
I'm really not surprised at all. When I started playing guitar hero 3, I started hearing songs from bands I never heard of, and actually liked them! The additional songs are really good and from bands in many countries around the world. Definitely work checking out if you haven't heard 'em.
Wow, these nano mites are working overtime! We just had an article about nanotechnologies taking the place of windshield wipers, and now we don't have to even wash our clothes! The future is looking promising!:)
They've done it before. Beat all odds and started developing better chips than Intel for awhile. There's always a chance they could do it again, but I don't foresee that happening in the near future.
Somehow I keep thinking about Windows ME and wonder if Vista will head in the same direction. I guess all vista has going for it at the moment is that it doesn't have the same kind of memory leaks as ME?
Don't feel bad. I had to google it to have any clue what they were talking about. I saw so many posts on here about Tuesdays that I figured it had some significance.:P
Why not just lie?
Though this may sound absurd, it's kinda the first thing that came to mind when I read this article! Ok, so maybe you shouldn't lie, but I know most people that left my previous employer would just say "I don't know yet" when people would ask where they were going to. Some people would say "I'm going back to school". There is absolutely no reason you would have to tell your managers at micro$oft that you're going to google. If you have a good relationship with your manager, then I'm sure it probably isn't an issue.
Al Gore invented the internet... internet ruins the environment...
I'm starting to think Al Gore's crusade to prevent global warming should've started with himself.
umm... anyone see anything wrong with a post that qualifies any sentence with "The UN even says so"? Amazes me what kinds of nonsense gets modded up these days.
People act like the iphone is THE gadget that will ruin all other service providers if they don't have it. Considering its hardly even a smartphone because you can't even add software to it, it seems to be very lacking. Its only major benefit over something like a treo is the size and style of the phone. People need to get a grip. Other cell providers will not be going out of business over this.
Calling Americans monsters is "Insightful"!? omg... seriously, who is rating these posts!?! You were not there and therefore do not know the whole situation. Please do not call all Americans mosters because you have a skewed idea of what really happened.
On a relevant note: I think recording this made the entire situation more ambiguous than "he said, she said". You can't see most of it, and have no idea if this kid is screaming to provoke the officers or because he is sincerely hurting. To me it sounds like he's being an American hating punk like the poster above.

At least they don't have to worry about Pluto anymore. Is it a big rock or a planet... ahhhhhhhhhhh!

I guess those with ad blocking programs/extensions will automatically be canceled out in the analysis of ad clicking habits since there won't be any.

All i can say is for the right price, count me in! It would be awesome to stop worrying about hard drives dying all the time.

Yea, blame microsoft for not having a life! It was microsoft that made me a total loser!
What do you expect from a country full of Gypsies.... seriously... :-P
Two articles in row about cingular! Both positive for them and no one else.

I smell some Microsoft conspiracy behind this. :-P
I think it has something to do with having it tatoo'd on his hand. :P
