@(Unverified) Why on Earth would you want RAID0 on a NAS?! One of your USB drives disappears/dies/corrupts, and BOOM, no data for you!

I'm thinking RAID 1 or RAID 5 would make much more sense.
Thank. You.
I've been researching the TomTom dock to decide if it's worth buying just to pull apart the connector and solder in a dock connector extension cable so I can still charge/control my iPhone through my car's built-in dock connector/stereo.

If someone out there were just smart enough to offer a gps/microphone dock with pass through connector, I'd gladly pay $120 for it (although I wouldn't complain if it were less)
Jon Doe. I'm not sure why ANYONE would pay for a Storage Area Network in their house, or why you think RAID has anything to do with it. Maybe you meant NAS? (Network Attached Storage)

This sucks though, I've heard these, as well as the Airport Extremes are not very good hardware (slooow speeds for storage)
I am heading over to the handbrake forums and see if the devs have been working on this yet.

Sounds great, making offloading floating point calcs to the gpu this easy is going to really improve performance of some heavy apps out there.
Reply fail... Sorry
Nate, are you seriously telling me you LIKE text that is 0.12" tall when in 12 point font? Or do you use an operating system that is resolution independent?

For business users that don't have better than 20/20 vision, 120+ DPI is very straining to do productive work like word processing, technical reviews, or anything else that requires reading.

1440x900 is already pushing it at 120dpi (WIndows XP only allows for 96/120 dpi, and does a poor job at it, it just changes _some_ fonts, not all, and makes max/min/close buttons larger)

I know gnome on Linux and Solaris do a good job of scaling the UI to a manageable scale if you set the proper dpi, but since these laptops are sold with Vista, I'm willing to bet the majority of users are running Windows on them.
Well, it has at least some credibility, that's the same cheerios box used in the diagnostics menu. As seen here:

Yes, Windows runs on Macs. It has officially been supported since April 5, 2006. So... yes, Crysis can be run on a Mac.
Um... Vista Icons?
And why is there a title bar for the wallpaper?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
