@wuddersup,

Yes, I'm a fan of warning people not to buy something that will become obsolete. I was also a fan of VHS over BetaMax. Sometimes being a fan means you don't get screwed. No apologies necessary my friend - you just didn't get the BetaRay memo.

More like "First BetaRay-in-a-box"

BluRay = betamax
HD-DVD = VHS

"Roadbank" as the name for a in-car GPS NAV.. I swear.. those asian marketing departments are geniuses, I tell you.. GENIUSES. At least it wasn't called "Happy Rainbow Smile Car Dragon Drive You" like a small Taiwanese upstart might have called it, based on the way some of them name their computer components at least in years past. I actually bought a 52x CD-ROM years ago that was called "Sun Moon Star CDROM" just because the name was so retardedly ph#cked.

This phone has been available for a long time on ebay. It works with Cingular and Tmobile. I've had mine about 3 months and its been problem-free and it syncs with my Exchange server at work as well as lets me tether my laptop to use it as a dialup-connection. It's awesome.

ZZZzzzzzzzz.... One word: Kentsfield. Thanks for playing, AMD.

@adrian - wtf are you talking about 'what about optimizing current programs' - apples-and-oranges-say- what? should Intel wait around while software devs re-code or optimize their code to be multi-threaded for SMP? Or maybe you think Intel should open up a department that does the work for those software companies. By the way once code takes advantage of SMP it doesn't matter if its a dual, quad or 32-core that takes advantage of said code.

..I don't get your point.

@unimog, yeah no $hit right this is old news.. evidenced by me not having bought a Core 2 Duo chip since Intel announced quad-cores before year-end even before the Core 2 Duo came out.

Can't wait to use quad-cores for music production (plugins galore!) and video-crunching

Anyone know what ever happened to DirecTV's plans for a PCI sat card for Windows Media Center edition? Right now having WMCE only capable of really recording over the air or feeds from a cable box are not worth the hassle vs. a dedicated DirecTivo.

I don't understand all the "ooh gee I didn't know" "oh golly gee this is a shock!" "wow I"m surprised" listen morons the PS3 has been a vaporconsole from the get-go. I wouldn't even count on a march '07 launch... even if it does, expect it to go the way of the 3D0. The PS3 was a cute concept if only they'd actually gotten it out before the XBOX360. Unfortunately, XBOX360 has its jaw firmly locked onto the video-gaming public like a pit-bull, and no half-assed overpriced vapor box from japan is going to be able to unlock those jaws. SHAME on you Sony. You make good TV's (i just love your Ruby projector sitting in my living room) but your video-game-console ERA ended with the PS2. Better luck next time around with the PS4.

@SleepyBum,

Yes this device supports windows file sharing. i.e. reachable by \hd1hdd_0 for example. To the people that think this plus the drives makes it overall too expensive, thats what I thought when I bought DLink's single-drive enclosure the GSM-D600 - after some months of using it however i've come to rely on it heavily because it's extremely handy having it attached to my home LAN via gigabit ethernet since with 8 computers including two HTPC's in the house, its the one windows share that's ALWAYS availability and you don't have to leave a PC on 24x7 to have access to the data.
