So this is why Snow Leopard made a big fuss about their install times...
Matt Bellamy is the guitarist from Muse, get your head out of your ass
Same here in the UK, I ordered it as soon as it was available on the online store, and I expect to get it on Tuesday (because Monday is a Bank Holiday).

I knew I should have gone to the authorised reseller around the corner...
An event held on 09/09/09, I smell something fishy
Yeah, I'm having problems too. I'm going to back up my save, delete it and try running it again, see if that does anything.
@Blastar

You're wrong, what you're talking about there is triangulation within cellphone towers. This is the system of location retreival the original iPhone used (the one without any GPS chip at all).

aGPS is as the name says, Assisted GPS. Why is it assisted? Because a normal GPS device would have trouble getting a signal in certain places, and because phones are carried around more than TomToms, this assistance is needed. An aGPS chip DOES have a GPS chip within it, and it does use GPS satellites, but it also uses other information to ASSIST it (for example, triangulation within a set of 3 cell towers). This is to get the information quicker, while also using GPS signals to make the pinpointing accurate. It is easier for a phone (power wise and convenience wise) to use triangulation first, then GPS second. That's why on an iPhone 3G, it gets a rough area of where you are first, then pinpoints it later.

I didn't need to go to Wikipedia, I'm a computer scientist who studies within this field.
I have a suspicion that Joystiq know more then they are letting on, will it be released in the next store update?

Go on Joystiq, break the NDA!
What is Photosynthesis?
To be fair, I've always thought that prices on the PSN for the US and UK equal up (i.e $2 will equal around £1, which is very fair indeed). Correct me if I'm wrong...
Well I took a snapshot of a frame, cropped and rotated it, and this is what I got:

The ones that are unknown are because I'm from the UK, so I'm not too savvy on US channels. The fact that there are duplicates probably means it is a mock-up, but does show the intention Sony has.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a wireless trackpad to use with my older (2.5 or so years old) C2D MacBook that's perpetually docked to my home theater. Something sleek, thin, not too small, made of high quality materials. Ideally, it would natively support all of (Snow) Leopard's multitouch inputs, and even more ideally, it would have a charging dock / base. The only problem is that I'm not sure that such a thing even exists. Think you can throw me a bone?"
