I am most looking forward to developing web applications to fill in the application gaps that Apple has yet to fill.

I also highly doubt that this is going to appeal to early adopters, the tem early adoper assumes that the idea takes off at some point. I don't think this sort of thing is going anywhere. I have had a bootable partition on my iPod for years and I use it to play music. Is this really all that much different to anyone but a tiny (10 - 20 people) portion of the population.

I frequently want to but, my fiance says it is embarrassing and that it creeps them out.

More frequently, I want to scream at the girls with thier broken pink iPods that are at the Apple Store telling thier friends (on a pink RAZR) that they are at the "iPod Store". That just ticks me off. Atleast we don't have to wait in the same Genius Queue as them anymore.

Yup, it is real, check out how he is dressed.

Engadget is going to make me get an account with WSJ just to read the article too.

You mean Apple puts my name in any unprotected song I get from iTunes. That means if I decide to put it on BitTorrent, I will get caught doing something illegal (WHINE).

Oh and, they are going to make me get an iTunes account (most likely so that they will be able to push software updates to the thing) I sure as heck hope that AT&T doesn't ask for my name, address and billing information.

I say it was a good project but, I don't agree with Fred. This guy is going to be an engineer some place for the rest of his live.

Is it just me or does this store look and feel like a store located on the same block at 679 North Michigan? With a theater in the back, the brushed metal and the general layout of the store. It just reminds me of of an Apple store.

I can just see these ugly brown and pink boxes stacked to the celling at my local electronic store before during and after Christmas. The question is, will they wait until after Christmas to put the clearance sign on the table so that they can get rid of their overstock.

You missed what is quite possibly the biggest one...
Time Machine!!
For 99 bucks a year, Apple could provide a network backup volume for you that would work with Time Machine and would be Collocated to ensure a good backup. Now, that is .Mac I would pay for.

Too late, I am here for student sunday already.
