they obviously haven't done their research.

most annoying voice EVER

didn't watch the video because of it.

What's the deal with all these bezels anyways? The size limitation on computers is obviously the interface, make it perfect!

I'd use it.

It makes sense, just like cloud computing makes sense. In order for a computer to be useful to me it has to be able to do some really fast number crunching (solidworks, matlab, max/msp) a few times a month, more if i'm working on a project. the rest of the time it's just sitting there doing nothing (web browsing, playing music or at most a movie)

If it were still able to do all the computer-ish things i do now, and i could pay for a huge beast of a machine when i have use for one and a netbook when i don't, i'd be happy.

A computer i build now would be built for peak capacity, and would cost me a fair amount, if it were priced competitively it would make sense for a lot of people.

bah... mr blurrycam is on the case again...

BAH! The only alarm clock that should be on engadget is this one, everything else is second rate... too bad it's almost vaporware!

Word, all these ipod dj decks are great concepts, but bloody useless without that basic functionality (and ipods d-to-a's don't sound too great at normal speed, let alone with pitch shifting or other effects)

If apple opened things up and a third party added pitch shift, and maybe some tracking functionality so you could properly cue a song from an external input, they would be unstoppable dj tools in like 5 minutes! imagine 160gb of tracks in your pocket, standardized and ready to plug in. The problem with seratto and final scratch is the need to pack around a laptop, 3 vinyls, a fat soundcard, plug it all in, and then when the shit breaks or one of your cables is sketchy you have to play the whole set off CD's anyways!

The only real option for an ipod DJ now is to have every tune preset to the same bpm... far too much effort, and far too restrictive.

ahhh eff you guys... no way! i really didn't have any idea why you might want to pirate a game! *gasp* that's like theft!

let me try asking that again.. and maybe we can get some real news...

does it make the system faster, or quieter, and if so how much?

If you still need the dvd to play the game, what's the point? does it speed by loading screens quick enough to make it worth it?

cloud storage... shitloads of physical media "elsewhere" managed by "someone else"

(great, unless you need to be sure of sensitive data)
