Wow. See, when we watch movies set in the future/read books about the future, this is the sort of absurdly practical yet cool thing that you see. Yet, I know that this has such a slim chance of ever being created. Please, major cities, consider this! It's awesome!

I'd use it as a combination security camera and Skype camera when I'm in my room. That way I can leave my laptop on the desk, but use my wireless mouse to start and end calls. Super-convenient!

My son showed me this article, and now he's enthused about finally getting a Mini 9 to play with. It intrigued me too! He also thinks the Optimus Maximus is one of the coolest ideas out there, and I'd have to agree.

Short answer? No. Long answer? NOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Seriously though, Apple needs to see that this is completely absurd. I wonder if their sales are low enough/the internet complains enough, they'll get the picture.

I used Linksys for the longest time, until I had strange performance errors with every single piece of Linksys hardware (wireless router randomly blocked websites and ports, wired router died 4 times, gigabit switch would seize up). I replaced with Netgear equipment, only to get different issues. We replaced everything with a single AirPort Extreme, and have had 0 problems. My neighbor is a Mac nerd, and has had every Airport since the very first one. Now he has 2 AirPort Extremes and 2 AirPort Expresses for one of the fastest and most reliable networks out there. You may hear bad things about other Apple products, but their networking division is rock-solid.

Great, except for the fact that Cube was the first major shooter for the iPhone. It also does not look like a mobile game, in fact it's a direct port from the PC/Mac version, and the accelerometer control scheme is fantastic if you are able to sit down and stay still. It also is really good for aiming with some practice. This looks like a fantastic game, but get off of the game developer's teat and actually look at what's offered in the store. Cube is free, has multiple maps, and looks fantastic. Also, I've been playing 4-player free-for-all on my school's wifi with people who have iPhones and iTouches and Cube, so the multiplayer works great.

AirPort Extreme, without a doubt. We had a Linksys that flaked out a couple times, another Linksys that randomly blocked websites for NO reason (both were WRT54G), and a Netgear that randomly flaked out during browsing. The AirPort Extreme is solid, reliable, has great features, and is kinda cute. :-P

I wonder if this works with AMD processors. I know that there are custom kexts and driversets for AMD processors and chipsets for OSx86, but if this works with AMD processors (albeit with a modified kext loaded after install) that would be FANTASTIC. I'd just have this, install OSX, and change the necessary kexts/add the drivers.

That's annoying, although it would explain why my MacBook Pro (Penryn Multi-Touch) runs extremely hot sometimes, without provocation, and why the GPU is always very warm, in fact warmer than the entire system by a margin of 10-20 degrees. Oh well.

Just updated my 2.6gHz Penryn MBP, it downloaded quickly but refused to logout of OS X so it could install. I had to hold down the power button to restart manually, and then restart Software Update and select 10.5.3 to get it to log out correctly. Strange but perfect once it worked.
