WOW

NETGEAR® to acquire Infrant Technologies

today´s press release
http://www.infrant.com/company/news_content.php?id=336

I still don´t get it:
http://www.google.com/products?q=readynas+nv%2B&btnG=Search+Products&scoring=p

the readynas nv+ was cheaper, now, still being at $600 it´s somewhat more expensive, but as far as I can see, way more capable.

Why this drobo junk? - where´s the real advantge, aside from the lower price?

Hey, i tried a couple of times to send you a message through the contact form, on a current Mac OS X 10.4.9, using opera / firefox and safari, and I it looks like not a single mesage got through.
could you please check your code?
in case you received 20 messages, sorry, but not really my fault. :(

hi there.

as you are the guys in the know, could you please post a comparison of the drobo with an infrant readynas NV+
I´m considering buying this nas box for a couple of months already, and really fail to see where the advantage of this drobo box is.
No even the price is better...

TIA Matt

that was supposed to read LNG (liquid natural gas) instead of LNC

@ SAM:
yo, wise guy: Let someone explain to you the difference between fossil and renewable energy: Last time I checked, I didn´t eat neither coal nor LNC.

Wow! 4,400 litres?
Let´s do the math. - Anyone withe basics in chemistry knows that 4,400 l translate to roughly 8.8 kg of CO2. (per year !)
The average american car emits roughly 300g/mile of CO2.
In other words: drive your car 30 miles less PER YEAR (and walk instead), and you save the same amount of CO2.
If your gym is three mils from your home, you just need to walk to the gym 5 times per year. (Do the distance jogging, and you can even save the gym membership) ;)

hmm, I´d rather buy the real thing
http://www.h2oaudio.com/

h2o for iPod video: 130$
h2o for iPod nano 120$
both including headphones, depth up to three meters...

what a rotten deal.
I pay around 30€ flat a month here in Spain for 8MBit DSL (unlimited) and all national calls...

i´d like
15. Claritel i750

thanks

@ #10 - frank: that�s just dumb.
Apple wanting to loose OS X? - No effing way. Apple hardware costs a premium, because Apple has to factor those OS X development costs, and there HW looks beautiful (if you ever took a look at the Powermacs innards - no matter which model during tha last 5 years - you see that someone actually thought about how to avoid cables strewn all over the place) People are willing to pay the premium, because they know that the unique combination (Apple controlling HW and SW) lets them work more effectively.
If Apple skips OS X and goes Windows or Linux with a nice Skin, it�d just be crap, with the same problems that plague Windows and Linux. Ergo: they�d stop selling HW the same day (if they�re smart, cause it wouldn�t sell)
- It�s the OS X, stupid!

Much rather, as pointed out here http://tinyurl.com/ovjs2 (article by chris seibold at applematters.com), Apple might license OS X under certain strict rules for limited hardware, so other vendors can sell those systems as well, and Apple *MIGHT* stop selling the actual hardware...
