Looks like it may be time to finally hack my AppleTV to play DVDs via USB. The MacAir external drive can't but maybe this one can.
Before I saw this, I had an idea that Apple should do something similar: have a full OSX computer (keyboard, mouse, disc drive, etc) for the docking base and have a mid-size (10"?) tablet that docks in and uses the docks computing resources. When docked, the tablet could be charged, and when undocked, the tablet would have a touchscreen and have synced documents, mail, calendar, music, etc... that could be taken on the go. I think the idea is compelling and think that an Apple version would be pretty sweet and innovative in regards to the entire concept, not just the idea of docking a tablet, but having a docking/syncing/portable touch tablet that uses an integrated OS when undocked and then switches to using the larger computer's OS when docked.
Nope. just the 54 million who voted for NObama.
Well, Dan. You're obviously not paying a lot of attention. A New York Democrat Congressman's staffer was fired for having registered AND VOTED in Ohio despite being a New York state Citizen.

And it's already being proven on a daily basis that those fraudulent registrations are being converted to fraudulent votes. To think otherwise is, at best, wishful thinking and, at worst, the same kind of partisanship that would howl about voter machines but turn a blind eye to the ACORN investigations in close to 20 states. 20!

Sorry, but when you defend ACORN, you lose any and all crediblity.

Simon, please accept my apologies for misunderstanding your comment.

Sadly, my response to what I thought you meant still stands as I know plenty of people because of where I live who are of the opinion that Christians are small-minded bigots.
I didn't say you were a small-minded bigot. I was responding to Simon Arch's comments.

I highlighted Wikipedia's entry as a response to your insinuation that OCU is not a "real" school.

I don't need psychiatric help. Guess you don't mind offending someone who defends Christians by insinuating "mental instability", eh?

Fact is, Christians are increasingly persecuted in America simply because they don't fall in line with the elite "progressive" ideology. If you don't know that, then you're not paying attention. Christians around America are being sued or taken before "Human Rights" commissions because of their beliefs and their ideology. No one is allowed to question "progressive" ideology, though. No no.

Sorry if you think my reaction is too strong, but as a Christian, I'm tired of putting up with the bigotry and social persecution that we have to put up with because the "tolerant, open-minded progressives" gather around and join in the insulting and derision. Where are our defenders in the the media or on the Internet? Hmmm? If we don't start standing up for ourselves, there isn't any "progressive" who is going to come to their sense and realize that they marginalize Christians and Christianity to their own detriment.
I appreciate your comment a lot, Brian.

Maybe there is hope against the knee-jerk reaction of those who mindlessly insult a school because it is Christian.
Quote:

"How is a University that provides a homogeneous atmosphere for christians in any way striving for diversity?"

Trimalchio: this line of attack from "progressives" against Christians is so disingenuous. The only kind of "diversity" that "progressives" believe in is whether or not someone's skin is darker than someone else's or if someone was born in another country. But there is no intellectual diversity. As long as everyone falls in line with the "right" ideology, they're welcome into the elite "progressive" club.

The only place where true intellectual diversity lives these days when it comes to universities and education is on the campuses of private and religious schools. These schools are so much more tolerant of "progressives" than "progressives" are of Christians. As Jeriko points out, there are people of other faiths and even atheists that go to OC. And OC serves their academic needs. It doesn't persecute them or insult them by calling them "small-minded bigots". It serves them and challenges them intellectually.

It also illustrates the bigotry in this thread when people insinuate that people in Oklahoma are not intelligent because they live in Oklahoma.

The culture wars are underway. Can't wait for the day the "progressives" start locking up Christians. Oh you wonderfully open-minded and tolerant "progressives".

Don't forget to vote for Obama!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
