I aways wanted a desktop made from wood, but that is fugly - seriously, couldn't they have done better than just sticking a bamboo faceplate on a plain jane mid-tower?

Dell did it better with their Studio Hybrid:

I would be a good replacement for my iPod Touch.

Looks like a MBP.

Now this is a giveaway!

If you actually go to the Aussie Apple Store, they don't call it Black Friday, but a "special Apple one-day shopping event".

Am I the only one thinking that $1.25 billion is chump change for Intel, they should be able to make that back in a quarter or two.

I'm sure the 5 engadget readers that have Apple TV's will be thrilled.

So engadget is passing along the Inq's crap now?

Way to go with the sensationalist headline too.

I actually don't have any issues with the K7 from what I've read - weather sealing, IS, HD video, 14.6 MP, show me another dSLR with those features and at that price. My issues lie with Pentax themselves.

Pentax needs to improve their QC - I read the review of the 1.4/55mm, and it was ridiculous that the reviewer went through three of those lenses, before he found one that didn't have focusing issues, and that's like a $700 lens, so it's not exactly cheap. Similar QC issues occurred when the DA* 16-50mm came out as well.

Additionally, with the takeover by Hoya, it has seemed that Pentax's lens prices have jumped a bit. And Pentax's retail presence is nil - I went into big camera stores around Fresno, CA and back home in Detroit, and they had a deer in headlights look, when I asked about any Pentax mount lenses. I wound up getting the lens I wanted from Adorama, but I actually wanted to buy locally if I could.

I stopped reading this, as soon as I read the author claim that Office 2008 was better than 2007. I wanted to like 2008, but dropped it, when I realized it had the worst trouble with largeish Excel files, not to mention that it was just generally slow, in comparison to 2007.
