beats my 6102i, time for an upgrade?
perhaps you mean while the getting is still good?
oh, I see. you're being paid to trash other companies.
What? How is this "bound to fail?"

If anything, it's apple evidently patenting an existing product - iAlertU has been doing this on new MacBooks and MacBook Pros since 2006.

It's actually a pretty good idea, and an interesting repurposing of technology that was implemented in the systems for an entirely different reason (HDD Shock Protection, IIRC)

I'm not sure about b-m's comments up there, but this is cool, and although I don't think it should be patentable by Apple at this point, it would make a welcome addition to OS X.
I'm actually from the future, so I'm really getting a kick out of these responses...
I second that! I have yet to find a non-HTPC media solution that comes close to the playback capability of a properly outfitted Original Xbox (including the 360).

Not to mention the expandability and customization available on XBMC.

It's interesting that they included the gratuitous pron and "h0rny l0ver" references, along with the ridiculously s7up1d interwebs slang.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
