That's what I'm doing except I've also got a 25% UPS employee discount.
You sir, need to research. Sprint has the cheapest smartphone plans available. $69 gets you:

UNLIMITED CALLS TO ANY CELL PHONE (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and of course Sprint)
Nights and Weekends start at 7PM
450 Minutes to call Land Lines
UNLIMITED DATA
UNLIMITED TEXT
UNLIMITED GPS
UNLIMITED SPRINT TV

Seriously, the $69 dollar plan includes Any Mobile, Any Time (which means unlimited minutes to ANY cell phone). To me, who calls cell phones almost exclusively, this is pretty much an everything plan. $99 dollar plan is for people that call LOTS of land lines and that is more of an exception then a rule.
Finally, the day has arrived! I will be upgrading my Diamond shortly . . .
OK, Mr. Negativity. I think it looks pretty nice. Weird place for the Media Center Button though.
That's totally what I was thinking. Who wants to sit in front of this thing and change its disc every five minutes? Right now the only difference between this (as far as I know) and my computer is that I don't have to click the "Rip" button with the RipServer. There is no way that clicking one less button is worth $1,189.
Will someone answer this question: Is the quality of watching HD movies over DVD movies on a 13/15/17 inch screen that much better? If no, then that is probably a reason that Apple would wait for the burner. The value added with a Blu-ray burner is much larger than the value added with a Blu-ray player (at least for the Macbook side of things).
I totally agree. For crying out loud this thing has an Mini-ITX motherboard. Just because some "market researcher" said that Wal-Mart shoppers believe that size = system capabilities, doesn't mean you have to make it unnecessarily large and aesthetically unappealing. Make it smaller, take out some of the ugly, and I'll consider picking one up.
Exactly what I was thinking. $15.99 per movie plus the hard drive is awesome. The only problem is backing the data up. Buying an extra HD for backup or burning the data to disc would be a pain.
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?"
