How many Nintendo DS titles are fart apps?
Speaking of wifi frames, does anyone make a frame that will let me PUSH stuff to the frame? Yeah, picking images off of flickr/picasa/snapfish/etc is nice and all, but if I had a frame that would let me shove webcam images, weather maps, real-time info to the frame, THAT'S what I could use.
You realize that prototype phone is just a T-Mobile Dash with a different skin?
Um, how about no need for a Dish and the $40/month (minimum) subscription?
If you read the iTunes help page, it recommends that if you plan to watch the rental on an appleTV, order it *from* the appleTV so the quality can be matched up.
It may be bad web design, but if I were Jobs I would leave it alone. Every time the site goes down for an update, all of the blogs make a note of it and then watch hyperactively for an update. End result? Free advertising!
How is this different from the VTech model that's already on sale? Has caller ID and all the works, too.
ftw!
I'll enjoy watching Todd try to build his own cellphone when all the manufacturers have finished the transition to Linux.
I think you misunderstood my reply.

GPL3 means that those companies that were using open-source code (like TiVo) will just drop that open source code and go back to proprietary software. They will develop it with their own money and their own programmers. No more lawsuits, no more hassles from FSF. Everyone is happy.

Everyone is happy until you, Todd, go to the store and notice that the Tivo Series 4 with Dynamic Turnip Twaddling costs $200 more per unit. Someone has to pay for those extra programmers and extra time.

And that person will be you.

And when you want to find a linux driver for that new NVidia Model XYZ2000 700fps video card, where will you find it? Ooops, NVidia took that source back. You'll have to pay for it now, if it ever gets published at all.

Maybe GPL3 is a good thing if you're a software engineer, come to think of it. Lots of job security.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
