Actually, in Leopard you can just do the search, then hit Return to open the top hit. This is because the top hit is selected by default, rather than "Show All" as in Tiger.
Anything BitTorrent can do, FTP can do better. Alright then, just try to distribute a multi-gigabyte file, say a Linux iso, using an FTP server on your personal connection. What's that? Your server/connection can't handle the traffic? Should've made a torrent...
I believe that by "there's one wavelength that gets everybody," he meant that everybody has their own specific color, which explains why they shift frequencies.
If they don't subsidize the phone, and instead apply the subsidy amount (let's say $200) to the plan, over 2 years thats only a $8.33 discount per month. Not nothing, but when you consider that Cingular's lowest voice plan is $40/mo plus unlimited data for a PDA at another $40/mo, you wonder how much of a discount Cingular could give on the plan. They make pretty large profits on their data plans, so maybe they are considering selling iPhone service for between $40 and $60 a month including data. That would cut into their profits pretty severely, but should bring quite a few customers over (basically a loss-leader, but still producing profit).
Browsing through the new MacOSForge.org, I noticed something on the page for the Calendar Server. In a list of compatible clients, it lists "Apple's Teams". I've never heard of this application, and I did a little poking around on Apple's website. I noticed a page describing OS X Leopard Server's built in Wiki Server, specifically the repeated mention of teams using the Wiki server to collaborate on projects.
This along with the iCal Server leads me to believe that OS X Leopard will include systemwide collaboration functionality that will integrate with any Apps that are programmed to use it. More evidence: How come during the demo of iChat's ability to share Keynote presentations, photos, videos, etc., we never saw the interface for the person sharing the documents? I would guess it's part of Leopard's collaboration system, named Teams.

The Cost of the iPod

· Score: 1
From the 2005 10-K report:
Gross margin increased in 2005 to 29.0% of net sales from 27.3% of net sales in 2004. The Company's
gross marginduring 2005 increased due to more favorable pricing on certain commodity components
including LCD flat-panel displays and DRAM memory; an increase in higher margin software sales; a
favorable shift in direct sales related primarily to the Company's Retail and onlinestores; and higher
overall revenue that provided for more leverage on fixed production costs. These increases to gross margin
were partially offset by an increase in lower margin iPod sales.
Also interesting is that Apple's net sales per iPod unit sold has gone down in the last couple years:
$367 in 2003
$296 in 2004
$202 in 2005
This is probably a result of the extreme popularity of the iPod Mini and now Nano.
Sounds like you're projecting your own repressed sexual desires onto others to avoid conflict between your superego and your id. This shows you secretly desire to have sex with your mother.
Ahh my mistake. However, the experiment you are referencing is almost certainly the same as the one on the show, as it had in common details such as the number of electrodes now and in the future. Certainly some interesting research is going on in these fields, and I look forward to seeing that research advance considerably in my lifetime.
This could conceivably be done by hooking up the implant so that it detected when you sent a signal to your eyelid muscles to close, then activated a virtual computer monitor. That would be incredible.
This is still going to be extremely useful since people born with conditions that cause blindness can be given the implants from birth (once improved, of course), and thus can achieve the necessary development of the visual cortex.
You probably saw this on PBS's Scientific American Frontiers. Funny coincidence, I just watched this episode last night... To watch it online, follow this link.
This seems remarkably similar to what the doctor in the article called "the first [procedure] to reverse blindness in patients without eyes." The difference may be that the technique shown on Scientific Frontiers was for patients with Retinitis Pigmentosa, an inherited, degenerative disease, while the article describes returning sight to a patient who lost her sight in a car accident. However, I can't see why the technique shown on Scientific Frontiers can't be used for those types of patients too, since the electrodes effectively act as rods and cones who's signal is sent directly to the optical nerve behind the eyes. The article seems to suggest that the electrodes in the new technique send signals directly to the visual cortex at the back of your brain ("An electrode inside the skull stimulates the back of the brain, which creates visuals images").

I did the 5Wits Tomb show in Boston last year, and while the set design was great, it was far too short (40 minutes) to be immersive. The puzzles were not very challenging, and the large group (8 people I think) meant it was impossible to get spooked as they intended. A much longer, individualized version of the same concept sounds fantastic.
I'm in a similar situation as you; I switched from Comcast to FiOS just over 2 months ago, and other than the fact that port 80 is blocked (I just had to switch Apache to run on port 81), I have nothing but praise for Verizon on the service.
I, too, use OS X for my main machine, so the installer just wrote out a note with the router info and a URL for the Mac software I needed to install to get the advertised speeds (found here), and let me setup the internal networking. Not only am I getting the advertised 15/2, but I get it all day, every day. For instance, I can download an HD movie trailer from Apple.com at 1.8 megabytes/second!
Considering the great speed, great price, and knowledgeable techs, I wouldn't give them anything lower than a 10, even with port 80 blocked.

Tried to mod you Insightful, instead I missed and modded you Troll. I am not using the interface in the video, however, so I have no excuse.

Or better yet, find out what your personal frequency is, and get some custom glasses that selectively filter that frequency!
Actually, there's plenty of profit for both the people selling the lightsabers AND the glasses. As long as they don't put each other out of business..
I believe that by "there's one wavelength that gets everybody," he meant that everybody has their own specific color, which explains why they shift frequencies.
That's the craziest conspiracy theory I've ever heard! Oh, wait...

Nice find, this is gonna be a really good feature for increasing OS X usage in business if they pull it off well.
