I'll take a 4 tuner US 256-QAM version w/Tru-2-way and multi-stream cablecard slot now please.

I would like to take my cable box with the molasses slow and buggy Passport Echo software that doesn't allow me to use the eSATA port and throw it out the window.

For some reason the iQuran asked if it was OK to use Location Data. I wonder what they need tha
Down towards the bottom there is one called "Extreme Home Hobbyist CMOS Endocamera with Lights"

with the warning "Chinavasion accepts no responsibility for misuse in examining bodily orifices. "

I found that funny.
As long as they still offer them with XP, we're good. Otherwise, Lenovo here we come.
Vista is optimized for two things, the latest in DRM and case studies in how to change an interface to take more clicks to do less.
The thing is, I don't see myself playing games that are too involved on my iPhone. I bought Monkey ball, didn't like it, Bandicoot racing, liked it some, Motion-X Poker(with the dice), play the hell out of it. Simple game, I know, but I think these work better for a phone. Maybe it's just my mindset, or the control scheme, or that I'm getting older. Who knows...
I imagine it will be as stable as 1.1.4 around 2.0.2 this time.
Agreed, but I assumed they would have wanted to do it after as not to possibly cut into the sales of the 3G of people who already have the original. They could have even swayed some of those people on the fence about that (those with a bunch of disposeable income) by delaying the 2.0 firmware for the original by about two weeks.
It is logical to assume that 2.0 firmware has been taken offline (or throttled at random) to help the activation servers catch up with the load, and to allow people who just spent money on the 3G to have a chance too.

I am going to wait for all this to calm down.

I would also actually like to see maybe an iTunes 7.7.1 before I update(and maybe a 2.0.1 firmware), or some other patch to ensure my stuff doesn't go belly up when I do the update.

They have really put themselves in one hell of a situation with this, these are the "DO NOTS" they have done today:

1. Released on Friday - I'm sure those Apple IT guys and developers have families, but I would definately request at least a week off after this, thanks for the hard work over this coming weekend BTW.

2. Coupling a new product (3G) with new software for previous iPhone on the same day sharing activation infrastructure. - Should have staggered it, waited until next week for 2.0 for original.

3. Releasing the new required method of communication with the phone (iTunes 7.7) not but a day or two before launch. - This should have been out weeks ago, we could have had a 7.7.1 patch...

4. Throw in 2.1 AppleTV update. You guys are just begging for trouble.
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."
