Can I purchase a Holographic disc?

Nope not at my local BestBuy, I guess that makes it pretty hard to include. Wait... does anyone have a holographic disc.... nope ... no manufacturer.... not even researchers.... so I guess that means the timeframe for the device... is slated release with Vista or about 10 yrs from now.... which means it doesn't have a greater potential within a timeframe.
Can I get a Dual Layer BR? No. When can I get that? Probably around the same time Holographic is released. End of the year or beggining of 2007

Acctually as stated before Holographic is supposed to be released at the end of the year.

The true problem with Hologrpahic is we don't have big ole sony or the HD-DVD companies backing it up. Its just one company... so from what I've read they said they will wait and perfect it for the pros first and later come at the consumer.

On potential... Beta had all the Potential and was a better player. I can't remember how that worked out? would you explain?

The problem is there are some people that cannot see the evidence in front of them.

You can have an intelligent debate with someone about some contentious issue such as abortion, animal experiments, death penalty etc because there are intelligent arguments to argue both sides. People obviously have different opinions, but I can recognise the merits of the arguments made by those who disagree with me.

This, however, it not one of those topics. Things like homosexuality as a choice, creationism, astrology are not unknowns. There is evidence- scientists don't seriously research astrology because the evidence is in! Some people will still believe in these things through faith or whatever else. [Not that I understand it- if God himself came down now and told me he was real and I should be anti-gay rights I'd just tell him to shove it!]

What we can say is that homosexuals do seem to be getting more and more rights, which is great. I was so happy to see civil partnerships introduced here a few years ago, and I hope it will be 're-branded' as marriage eventually. We don't need everyone to agree to make progress, and there will always be people behind the times, but with any luck anti-homosxual views will become more and more unacceptable in civilised society.

And for all the non-legal "experts" out there.

Windows can be trademarked because while it is a generic term, it is not a generic term that describes the product or service.

If "Windows" was a window company, it could not be trademarked because it is a generic terms that describes the product or service.

A huge difference.

Just put a deposit down on this '98 GT. Leather, Mach 460 stereo, premium wheels, 5 speed, 78k miles, 2 owner car. Undercarriage is absolutely spotless. Absolutely cannot wait:

Car's pretty dirty in the last picture.



:D:D:D
For something creeping up on 15 years old, that thing is in fantastic shape. Mustangs are an odd car for me. I never seem to like them each time a new one is released, but then the older they get, the more I start to like them. A buddy of mine has a '93 Cobra with just a couple thousand miles on it, and I absolutely love it.

I read a story a while back about people and their music tastes. Many people never really get out of their 20's with their favorite bands. The stuff you like around that age is what sticks with you forever as your favorite. I think it might be something similar with cars. I see cars from back in the early-mid 90s, when I was in high school and then into college, and I get all nostalgic and stuff. Fox body 5L Mustangs, FC RX7s, C4 Corvettes, Syclone/Typhoon, etc. The older I get, and the older those cars get, the more I love them. New cars are nice, but some things just stick with you. And those cars are permanently stuck with me.

Treat that Stang nice Puma, because it is certainly a keeper.

The general population never heard the term "App" until Apple released the iPhone.

Nor did the general population ever shop for Apps online until Apple built the App Store.

The abbreviation "App" used in conjunction with "store" to denote an online marketplace in which to buy applications is a unique combination that is not known in generic parlance.

Apple will win this.

I canceled my subscription to CR for this very reason. How can anyone rely upon their advice? Ridiculous...

Blah, it should read "Mac OS X Leopard, introducing Panter 2.0"

My dermashot case came in on Friday.. been using it since.

My initial thoughts - this case looks cheap and has a loose feel.

My thoughts now - the case has a nice style and even though it is not as snug as it should be, it fits fine. It has not fallen off at all and has a real nice feel too.

As one of the first to get the Dermashot (see earlier posts in this thread), I’ve been living with it for a while now...and the loose fit has really become annoying. Sometimes, I have to “feel around” to get the power to toggle off since the button doesn’t want to stay properly aligned with the corresponding “lump” on the case.

The one upside is that it does keep its nice jet black finish—isn’t a dust or fingerprint magnet like others.

My quest for the perfect case continues...... :(

The book being read in iBooks is Kook: What Surfing Taught Me About Love, Life, and Catching the Perfect Wave, by Peter Heller.

=] bought it on Tuesday, of course it had to rain on Wednesday so that's why it's all dirty >.>

More pictures when it's clean :P

I just bought a mazda 3 to on Monday, I love it, its fun to drive to.

I too have a Mazda 3 (2010), it is a lot of fun to drive, except the pickup can be weird some times. I drove it down to Pittsburgh once and it was a lot of fun on the thruway.

Deep pockets or not, MS will have a struggle to find a niche. But at least they were smart enough to put in a radio.

These old Senators still believe in privacy.

The poor suckers have no clue. The word privacy should be removed from the dictionary.

It's so close to labia, that I get excited. :o

I was under the impression he was referring to the 'Lybia' in the thread title.

lots, Bluetooth, WIFI (for internet radio), design..

Here's my classic mockup

I would buy this if it was 220gb. Great mockup

It was the brain scans..




Like when your competitors can't compete on usability and applications, they talk about meaningless "features" no one actually cares about.

Like when device can be useful with poor specs. Are you talking about those iPad 2 cameras? How useful are those with their embarrassing specs?

Changed it up a bit.

Amazon "One Click" not only use generic words but also patents obvious methods.

What does this have to do with patents?

yes baby. give me my mormom MBP!:D

I stopped wondering whether they'll come at all...;)

I'll agree with a lot of people here in that I don't think a 17" ACD will happen. The fact is, many of the people that would want a 17" size (myself included) would have a very hard time justifying the premium that Apple would almost certainly charge.

Edit: w00t, my 500th post! Avatar, here I come!

thanks! i hope so.

and congrats to you, whiterabbit, for hitting 3 million!

And congrats on the #7 spot, you crushed me... I should reclaim it in a month or so...

I wonder what is going to happen to the Dashboard.

You sure? The DP2 installer is 3.7GB vs. 3.35GB of DP1.

Leopard requires 9GB, Snow Leopard requires 5GB, and now Lion is under 4GB?

Cheapest Two x 1GB sticks kit is $331 from Omni via this Ramseeker.com link (http://www.ramseeker.com/scripts/counter.php?http://www.omnitechnologies.biz/cgi-bin/catalog/cp-app.cgi?usr=51F714335&rnd=3227630&rrc=N&affl=B&cip=&act=&aff=&pg=prod&ref=APLMP2X1GB667O&cat=applem).

That to me spells crossover time since for only +$3 you only fill two slots instead of 4 for the same 4GB of RAM.

Cheapest Two x 2GB sticks kit is $665 at 18004memory via this Ramseeker kit (http://www.ramseeker.com/scripts/counter.php?http://www.18004memory.com/ramseeker/default.asp?itemid=502459).

I would recommend that you are 100% sure the RAM you get is thermally certified for the Mac Pro.

I do believe that's a gun case.


Hm, Didn't think of that. I got it at a camera store. :rolleyes::D

This will make airline travel more interesting.
