  1. Re:i have a feature i prefer on 'True' Video iPod Coming Soon · · Score: -1
    Apple doesn't seem to care about gapless playback, but these guys are working on it.

    Unfortunately, it looks like they haven't been able to get audio playback to work on the iPod video yet.

    As to the 8 track, there may not be gaps between songs, but what about gaps right in the middle of songs. How fun is that?

    Incidentally no SUVs, chemical plants, aerosol cans or overclocked processors were found at the scene.

    Ah, but what about non-OC'd Prescotts?

    I have a 512 MB SD card for my camera. Do I have to erase it if I want to sell it?

    Welll, since it's most likely filled with pictures you took and not songs someone else owns the copyright for, Magic 8 ball says: "As I see it, yes."

  5. Re:Decal / Emblem Maker on Review: Mario Kart DS · · Score: 1, Informative
    Not only is it on be default, there's no way to turn it off. In addition, the decal shows above your opponents during the race, so you could be stuck behind a wang or something. Guess it gives you an additional incentive to stay in 1st place. ;)

    Also, the game makes no attempt to screen out offensive nicknames.

    Wait a minute, how would that be of any use?

    Are there secret copyright operatives posted everywhere that check each alarm to see what you're copying?

    They are.

  9. Re:Firmware; movie selection on PSP vs. DS Six Months On · · Score: 0

    Not to mention that DVDs are far more universal than the so called "Universal Media Disc". You can use a DVD both on a big screen at home and in a portable player, but so far UMDs only work on the PSP, yet the still cost about the same. Go figure.

  11. How about gapless playback? on A Review of the iPod nano · · Score: 1, Insightful
    Thought about buying one until I realized it probably doesn't play gaplessly (and don't give me any of that "rip the CD into a single file" bullshit).

    Why are there still so few portable players that play gaplessly? Is it just that most people are ignorant about gapless playback and thus it's not a selling point? Seems to me that a company could make a gapless player and then advertise the hell out of it.

    I'm just glad that they ported Rockbox to my iriver H120. I know there're a lot of people who aren't as fortunate.

  12. Re:Why would it sound different? on A Review of the iPod nano · · Score: 0

    ...but isn't the HD only spin ~1% of the time? It has a 32MB cache, after all.

  13. Re:Apple mini? on New iBook and Apple mini · · Score: 0
    the higher end one loses its superdrive

    The $599 1.42Ghz/80GB mini never came with a superdrive. I've got one sitting right here.

    Of course, the superdrive was available for both models as a $100 BTO option, same as it is now.

  14. Re:looks like the end of the PowerMac on iMacs Freshened with 2.0 GHz G5, Bluetooth, WiFi · · Score: 0

    Suuure. Next you'll tell me that it probably isn't a good idea to unshell peanuts while sitting at my computer.

  15. Don't forget the 400GB HDs on Apple Updates Power Mac Line · · Score: 0

    Looks like they finally have 400GB drives as an option. Of course, you could have put in a 400GB drive before, but you'd have to chuck the stock drive to fill the case to maximum capacity.

  16. "The Mouse" is already here. on Apple Developing Two-Button Mouse · · Score: 0
    Even though it might have a bad name, there already is a 2 button + scroll wheel mouse that sort of looks like an Apple design. (okay, fine. I might have bought a mouse based on how it looks instead of how many buttons it has). There's also a Bluetooth version for people who want that.

    http://www.dvforge.com/themouse.shtml

    So, it's not like I'm going to wait all year for Apple to come out with their own. Of course, if true, it is a major shift in how Apple does things, but who cares about that? ;)

  17. Re:Risky.. on Next-gen Game Boy to Hit Stores This Year? · · Score: 0

    Aww, you called me a name. That hurt my feewings. Anyway, let's see. Wario Land 3, Pokemon Crystal, Perfect Dark, Mario Tennis, the two Zelda Oracle games, and Metal Gear Solid good enough for starters?

  18. Re:Risky.. on Next-gen Game Boy to Hit Stores This Year? · · Score: 0

    There were quite a few GB color games that weren't compatible with the original GB, so I would call that a forced upgrade.

    Of course, the GBA also played GBC only games, but it was released 6 years later.

    Discount? Don't you mean the regular price that was there before they jacked up the price for those who choose not to use the store's retnal scanners? I think I'm going to cry now.
