Our PPD has dropped 20% from the peak, I lost a big unit this week due to a reboot, same old annoying problem...

Can't wait for Gulftown and GPU3...

yeah i've noticed the team has been down. again, i believe the less we chat on this forum, the less members will fold. right now, if one of our top users goes down, our whole team does basically.

i think we need to be more involved on here, and more people will fold.

sorry to hear you lost a big unit. yeah gulftown and gpu3 will be great!

anything is possible minus 1 thing: the option to dock and iPod simply is so out of place that I do not know why it keeps getting brought up. iTV is focused on streaming content from your computer, not your iPod.

As several of us have discussed before, my hope is that iTV will be able to stream all forms of content on my computer, but with particular emphasis on digital media. So if I want to bring a word doc up and type or a movie I am working on in final cut pro, I can do so. Similarly, and with more fully developed components all my digital media can be run on my tv. The goal is to make this experience integrate all the entertainment features we love, but throughout our homes. Quality preservation is essential and I think they will work to ensure that takes place.

Sometimes it's about form over function. This is nothing new for Apple.

Well quite, but it's going to lock the Mac Mini into being a poor value proposition.

you know, I'm trying to figure out why the Zune is so universally hated, and I can't.

And what's wrong with a larger screen that works in both landscape and portrait? I have a feeling that were the iPod to have gotten this functionality first everyone would be tripping over their credit cards to order one.

I dunno, just seems like everyone is getting overly excited on joining the "trash the zune" bandwagon that they aren't willing to give any credit where it's due.

I agree completely - yes the Zune has some issues and yes it's a bit too big right now and yes I love my Ipod - but I do think the competition is a good thing - the graphics on the Zune are really sweet! Come on, Apple is the graphics champ and looking at the menus for iPod compared to Zune it's easy to see Apple could and should be doing more.

Also the screen - great idea to have it rotate .

Like I said - still love the ipod, but would like to see some of these the enhancements roll over to the apple side.

I honestly cringe at the thought of driving an automatic at this point. I learned on an auto but i've driven a stick for the last 7 years (much of that in Los Angeles traffic) and when I wasn't in my car I was on my motorcycle (love sequential gearboxes). I like the control I have over the car and even in a car that isn't fast it makes driving more fun as long as the box isn't crap.

However I find myself looking at a lot of cars that don't even offer a manual these days :( and I am going to be getting myself something relatively new in the next year or two (though it quite likely will be another Triumph motorcycle)

anyone else getting a little bit fed up of apples lawsuits?

Count me in there.
Apple have become Big Brother and Big Bully lately.
In the past they trod more lightly.

I thought Ihnatko's take on the Zune was particularly amusing:

^^^ What monitor stand is that? :confused: I really like it. :)

I saw some of the pics and the buttons are covered. :)

The volume-rocker and hold buttons are both covered.

the 27 imac is a beast!!!!!
God I wish I had the money to get it.

I called my 2007 C2D Extreme iMac "the hombre" when I first got it.

When the Ivy Bridge iMac is released I'll feel that it's time to get a new computer worthy of naming.

iPad 1 does not support HDMI out, so I'm assuming no, it doesn't work.

iPad 1 does support HDMI out. Use the new Apple Digital AV adapter. Pretty amazing for Apple to "add" a feature to an old device ;)

The iPad 1 can't do *mirroring* over HDMI (at least not without jailbreaking)- but that's not what's going on here anyway. This could be done on an iPad 1, but of course it would be limited to 720p on the external screen, and probably not be able to maintain much of a framerate even then (for this game).

But less cpu/gpu intense games could run on the iPad 1 in a dual screen fashion if a developer really wanted to.

I simply LOVE how people talk about 1080p without mentioning bitrate. When the A5 chip can handle 1080p video at 40 Mb/s, this will be newsworthy.

Truth, as ever, is the first casualty of war, and nobody seems to care as long as they can fabricate a good narrative.

I'm not smart enough to know what the right thing to do is in Libya. But it does make me roll my eyes to hear the CNN anchor talk about how Qaddafi is "thumbing his nose at America".

The propoganda machine is cranked-up and running. :rolleyes:

Let's go kill some badguys!

what the **** are you talking about?!!!

you are getting false information, I would dare say 99% of ipad 2s have absolutely no hardware problem.

You're deluding yourself.

Bought this today on a whim. I ****ing love it!:

Took advantage of Amazon's DVD sales and bought these:
