Crap, not only do I need to encrypt my hard drive, my wifi, my ethernet, my backup harddrive, but now I have to encrypt my RF wireless keyboard. Oh, wait, that's right, I don't live in a military base.
Damn straight. And If they could get COX as an ISP down here all my problems would be solved, I live in Jacksonville, FL, and ComCast has a monopoly, and they're taking advantage of it, the service sucks.
Don't you just love how the next step in high def is always released before the hardware capable of supporting it is? For instance, they were selling Blu-Ray Burners before they started selling blu ray burnable media, they added the "mini-dvi" port to macs, no one likes your proprietary shit Apple, and we don't want to pay 20 dollars per adapter for this crappy format either, and there aren't many, if any at all, tvs or displays that support DisplayPort, heck, how old is HDMI anyway? a year or two? Why do we need to replace it with a new one so soon? Heck, so we have any players or consoles or graphics cards capable of outputting the new resolutions this thing supports? Do we even have the displays capable of handling that resolution? Why don't you people put this to rest for a bit until we actually have stuff that supports 2160i resolutions? Two versions of an almost identical product is only going to limit compatibility.
What? We can't drive our cars with wiimotes yet?
Yes, I know, Apple does so much to try and distinguish themselves from PCs, but the fact is, they are getting their profit with iPods and the iPhone. The mac sucks, and I personally own one, a now old gen macbook. I would have gone through life never ever trying, let alone buying one if it wasn't for school, finally managed to set up multibooting manually two days ago on this thing (I've had it since the beginning of the summer) No thanks to BootCamp. And I have to say that the mac is the most arbitrarily defiant creature I have ever seen, I had to manually partition my HD with an Ubuntu live cd because disk utility simply wouldn't let me. And don't even get me started on its shitty wifi support, I have to clear all the saved networks at least once a day and then re-enter the details, which isn't fun with a 64 bit hex wep key (I know, I know, not very secure, but I'm stuck with it until the Wii and DS support WPA)

That said, I think Apple would do fine if they just cut the Macs and sold iPods and ported all their software to the PC, Garageband for example is an excellent piece of software. Now for something more related, I really don't feel comfortable with a glass trackpad, considering Its going to be taking the greatest amount of abuse, and I think that tap-to-click on the current trackpad is unresponsive enough, I can see all four of the people who buy this breaking the trackpad because they tapped too hard.
Yes, that's the point, we all want the "bells and whistles" that the ipod provides, like being able to see what song you are listening to, or knowing when it's on. Or, if you're really greedy, videos and stuff like that. Nobody likes SanDisk anymore. I bought an mp3 player from them 3-4 years ago, ever since that I have stuck with iPods.
Napolean Dynamite? Is that you?
To those who didn't get the last part of the article, G.O.D is a delivery company. Great Overnight Delivery is what I think it stands for.
I want one of these. Someone wake me when they come out with a cdma variety.
Suddenly I feel an urge to go out and buy a hummer, and drive it across the united states, and buy motherboards, and set them all on fire.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
