I was thinking that at first, but after a moment I thought, "didn't Apple wait a bit with the Santa Rosa chipset?" The mixed shipping dates on the Fujitsu announcement seem to indicate that supplies will be constrained in January. Aside from LED displays, Apple seems interested in a balanced 15-17in offering and doesn't generally update one or the other separately. Fujitsu is going to update the 15in before the 17in offering.
There's probably more than one way to glyph a key.
Interesting quote: "Of course, various types of gaming applications are also possible, for example, in which the user quickly needs to depress a key that is being illuminated, or chase a moving key around the keyboard, to accomplish some goal set by the game developers."
(Is there a system for detecting/rating snowclone comments? I should patent that!)
Has anyone sniffed the packets coming out of the Zune yet?
I think the wireless part of the Zune is fascinating. It advertises itself as 802.11 compatible, although it may not use TCP/IP, I guess. Maybe it just sends out regular SMB?
I think it will be more applicable to industrial use than social. For example, at ACL fest there were people at the front gate handing out ITMS gift cards, which were good for downloads of artists at the festival. To approach the Zune market you could probably make something that just detected Zunes w/ wireless on and automatically send them entire tracks.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
