FireWire 1600 and 3200 approved by IEEE {Engadget}
Jul 31st 2008 1:02PM Jesus. There are more bottlenecks limiting transfer speeds than "the theoretical speeds" of either FW or USB. Several people have already pointed out it's completely unnecessary to have to pick one over the other. USB works great for keyboards, mice, tablets, printers and yes, scanners. If I can save a little money that's great. Powered hubs are cheap. Until bus powered eSata becomes available ... FW rocks for external HD's. There will always be a place for FW with video. A world with choices is a hell of a lot better that one without. I think it's great that FW continues to improve and move forward. Those who wish to pay will benefit.

Yahoo! Music Store taking DRM servers offline, freezing out customers {Engadget}
Jul 25th 2008 1:10PM I think people get confused by failing to differentiate between subscription music (whether it's "to go" or not), and tracks actually purchased. Like many others, I think any purchased music should be DRM free. Obviously, rightfully, legally. Too bad the dinosaurs don't get it. That's why pirating will continue to flourish. Of course people are going to go for music without restrictions that's offered at a higher quality. They'd be stupid not to.

iTab project continues the DIY Mac tablet tradition {Engadget}
Jul 10th 2008 5:06PM What is with all those cables? It's like they were unsuccessfully crammed out of sight on both the right side and the top left. Or is that just a design element?

The Bill Day giveaway (part 3) - Zune 80GB (black) {Engadget}
Jun 27th 2008 6:27PM The ergonomic 4000. It's saved my keyboarding ass. It's just a serious keyboarder's base.
Voodoo Envy 133 photographed gloriously in the wild {Engadget}
Jun 27th 2008 6:13PM I think the width is unbelievable .. at .7 inches EVERYWHERE (the airbook is .16-.76) and with ports ... pretty sweet. Weight's pretty svelte and I really like the ambient light sensors, the proximity sensors for the keyboard and touchpad cuz I like eyecandy. I think the router/powerbrick is pretty innovative. I also think the IOS is a great touch. I can see using that a lot. The fit and finish looks excellent. Shoot ... I want one now.
ZFS file system coming to Snow Leopard server edition {Engadget}
Jun 23rd 2008 12:45PM If ZFS makes it way to the OS, will it be called the Sun Leopard? Just askin'. And Zak? Get a goddamn job and stop haunting this thread.
Envy 133 and MacBook Air duke it out in the flesh {Engadget}
Jun 10th 2008 11:55AM The MBA is like a Miata-sleek, small and underpowered. It's a style statement. I do agree that most OS X folks wouldn't switch. They couldn't. Windows is too complex for them. When significant choice is present, lack of simplicity also is present.
Take a look at Photoshop- it's a tremendously powerful and capable program. It's also complex. Take a look at the manual. It's the SAME for both operating systems. I like XP because it's far more customizable (all that "think differently" and "I can have it MY way") than OS X. And, for me, choice outweighs whatever increase in complexity there is. Now, don't get me started on Vista ....
