Uhmm, and why is it a good idea to put server farms in one of the hottest parts of the country? Cooling is no trivial matter, they will have increased costs, and huge energy needs for that. Sure, its wind power, but this solution doesn't seam all that "green".
I'd show it off to my 3 other personalities. They are gonna be soooooo jealous!
I like how they are called "channels" now. . hrmm Wii anyone? And it looks like it isn't very expandable. Once you get a whole bunch fo things in each "channel" it will become tedious to navigate.

I also understand that "whitespace" is good, but there is WAY to much of it. Sony was guilty of this too. All this "HD" stuff just serves to make everything so small. Watching Sony browse the new video store was so dumb. Have the screen was empty and you couldn't read anything.
Rocky was originally pitched as a heated ballet competition, with a pirouette to the death as a finale. Needless to say, it didn't float well with test audiences.
OK, forgive my naivety, but on Windows, you can share a DVD drive over a network, then the other computer can map that drive, and everything works as if that drive was local. Can you not do that on a Mac? I figured since it is based on Unix you could just mount the drive remotely, and have full access. Why do you need 80 megs of software to let you do 1/4 of that? Can anyone clarify?
Can I watch Transformers on one of those? I would think looking through the scope for 2 hours would give you a headache.
They really should be using a polychromatic acusto-optic modulator(try saying it in the voice of Marvin the Martian). Besides having a freakin' cool name, it is relatively simple. You shine a pure white laser beam(yes, they have those) at a special type of crystal that allows a specific wavelength of light to pass through it based on the frequency of sound that is directed at the crystal. Then you get one wavelength. It can modulate through colors ridiculously fast, so you take that beam and scan it across your display, just like a CRT would, fast enough that the eye can't detect it, and make your image that way. I would think this would work best in a projector.
Thats means over 1 in 5 Japanese Wii owners bought it. Pretty good attach rate, and it is still selling fast.
Wow. Even with these "price drops" Europeans sure get screwed for prices. $707 and $565. wow. Ouch.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
