Do you run GPGMail? I had Mail.app crashing after 10.5.6 and a quick look at http://www.sente.ch/software/GPGMail/English.lproj/GPGMail.html showed that there was an update for 10.5.6 already and installing this brought stability back.

This is actually the second release of MST3K The Movie on DVD. The first release was a 4:3 letterboxed beast, back in 1998 (according to Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_Science_Theater_3000:_The_Movie )

Oh, and I should say, The Film Crew do more than B Movies. Like Lord of the Rings, The Star Wars Trilogy (1,2,3) etc etc.

You seem to have forgotten Cinematic Titanic, with even more of the crew of MST3K (including Joel) who have just released their first movie. Details at http://cinematictitanic.com/

"Reader Jake B" you say? Click on the YouTube link and look for more videos from the poster and you get to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Led8lDMQW44 ,a Fox News report about a Jake B who's having trouble with his warranty because.... yup, it's the same guy as the previous reports of the warranty issue. "Found Footage"? Uhuh.

It isn't just "created by the folks behind The IT Crowd", it's the opening of series 2 episode 3, where our heroes are attempting to settle down to watch a Tarrantino produced South Korean Zombie film.

What I suspect this is from Sony is much simpler. Remember that they buy hard disks as a bulk commodity, and I suspect there's a point where sourcing 80GB drives would work out as cheaper than 60GB drives, or that there would be a point where supplies of 60GB drives would be more constrained than 80GB drives. So at a guess, they are ensuring no interruption of supply by making sure they could easily ship an alternate drive in the PS3 and not get caught out by the hard drive chain.

At a guess it's just like the mTech ClipM, which was plugged into the 3.5mm jack. I used to have one. The downside, it's another gadget to charge up. The Gear4 Blueye has the advantage of not needing to be charged, you just plug it into the dock connector and you are ready to go. I rate the Gear4 far more highly (It's what I use now).

" So we're talking 32GB SSDs for what, $250 by Q2 of 2007? Golly. "

2008 surely.

A little reminder for the folks rewriting PS2 history.

The original PS2 arrived with the space for the hard disk and mounting for a network adapter on the back from day one. It took quite a while for the adapter to arrive, but arrive it did. Sony did not release a PS2 with ethernet built in until the slim line PS2 arrived which was over four years into the life cycle of the PS2. Motherboard revisions of the original PS2 were centered around thwarting modders and/or reducing build cost for Sony. They didn't add features.
