sweet ride...one of the better designs out of GM in some years.
I wonder if they could be sued for the use of an icon nearly identical to iTunes' icon (cd and music note)???
That's interesting. I worked for Toys "R" Us for nearly ten years while in high school and college. It has the HD-DVD priced at $129.98. TRU's pricing also reflects the status of a product. Ending in 9 means in good (healthy) status. Ending in 8 means clearance until inventories are depleted. When inventory reaches a certain mark, the price is changed to end in 7 to mean "close-out".

I wonder if this is a signal that the HD-DVD add-on may be on its way out due to financial losses or a newer, better replacement product. Starting to look like the Sega Genesis CD-64.
Steve Jobs should refer to his "Open Letter on DRM" to the music labels earlier this year on this topic.

"Hello, Kettle. This is pot."
CompUSA has had bad customer service in regards to their refund policy for years. I remember a little over ten years ago, my parents had an HP computer that need more HDD space. The original had 2Gb and they were upgrading to 10Gb. My parents are not techies at all, so they consulted an in-store associate that supposedly looked up the PC model and compatible HDDs. They bought the suggested HDD and paid for installation. Several days later, CompUSA called them to inform that the new HDD installed was incompatible with the system and they would have to get a refund. My mom went to the store for the refund and the cashier refunded the HDD. However, the store would not refund the installation charges and then deducted from the HDD refund charges for uninstalling the same unit! So my parents were back to square one, minus like $200. The manager would not approve a refund for the service charges either and referred them to the Texas corporate office. After several letters and angry calls, my dad had to file a complaint with the state's Attorney General, Better Business Bureau and have his attorney send a demand for refund. The refund finally came nearly 9 months later courtesy of the Indiana Attorney General's investigation.

I never shopped there since. Bad, bad retailer.
That is just wrong. I don't even like the Franklin Mint memorial 9/11 coins made from WTC silver with the towers raising from the ashes. No company should be capitalizing on the 9/11 tragedy.
This would be great for my iTunes or TV-in while I'm working on the large display. Or maybe even for placing an RSS aggregator widget so I see new feed posts in real-time.

What is a "10-foot" advertisement?

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"For a long time I have been searching for a portable device where I can store all of my CDs in MP3 format and stream the songs wirelessly to my HiFi system. The portable device must I've tried FM transmitters, they all suck. I don't want a docking station. Any help? Thanks!" have a display so that I easily can scroll through the playlists (I don't want to use a TV or monitor). I suppose that there must also be a second device that is connected to the HiFi system that would receive the wireless streams from the portable device.
