The tiny thumbnail size sensor makes those 14x and up supper zooms possible. My 400mm on my SLR is huge in comparison. On my full frame sensor is 400 on my crop sensor SLR its about 600mm.
here are the class of camera I'm talking about.

Of course these don't work well in low light....

Actually not quite right.

This would make sense if....
the app store was launched with the iphone. But it was in fact an afterthought.

Originally Apple wanted everyone to get "Apps" which were web based (javascript/ html) things online. Developers wanted to write more persistant application that would run without an internet connection, thus one year later the App Store and the SDK.

Sometimes you make a device and the market shows up.

Making CSS more debugable. Makes firefox my goto web browser for web development.

Mmmmmmmmm cake..
delicious and moist.

look at me talking while there is science to do...

In all honesty when you bought those songs DRM was probably the only way to buy them. You can upgrade them to itunes + (Higher bit rate non-DRM for 30 cents.). You can remove the DRM through various methods. The easiest is to burn them to audio CD and re-rip them. If you don't eject the disc, it should keep the file names.

I tunes behaves really wonky, until I figured out that all you need to do click the "Manually manage movies and music" on each devices home page.

Then you can drag music and movies from anywhere (desktop/ itunes) into the device and it copies it in. It takes more manual effort, but seems to make the program behave much better.

I used to not mind itunes till I got a tablet...

Digial computer's Vax, not really a success as a game machine....

but it did have one ASCII adventure game that was great fun.

Utopia was great. I liked that it was 2 player.

I liked AD&D as well. I played that system with my brothers,
Games we liked I remember:

NFL football. - 5 players per side although 2 didn't do anything (you could run through the center and snapper)
Bump N Jump - 2 player driving smash em up
Star Strike - kinda like the death star trench scene flying scene
Astrosmash - shoot falling things.. Simple but fun.
Dreadnaught factor - battle large "star destroyer" type space ships..

Those controllers disc would hurt your thumb after a long period of play however.

The camera takes stills at... 720 x960.

This is clearly not the same camera as the iphone. Ok for snaps, but not much else...

I got one and its pretty darn good. Many reviewers agree with me. I use macs quite a bit but don't have an iphone. Its great, but far from improvement. Its has totally replaced my notebook for surfing, and checking emails at home. I take it with me and use it like a giant iphone for location based stuff (I'm a city dweller). The only thing against is that its not feasable to pull out and use while walking, but I guess thats what smart phones are for.

The ipad is really more of a consumer electronic device than a computer. Once you get over that mental hurdle its fine. Its a 1.0 product as well so some of the limits on its functionality should hopefully go away with competetion (thank goodness for it). Its not a netbook and shouldn't really be compared to one.

Everything not working everywhere is a small price to pay for breaking the MS monopoly on OSs.

This page is a detailed history of Pac Man, including history and information on the different ghosts move algorithms and speed changes... I find it interesting... Read it while you can, its hosted on comcast.....

I have a really old TomTom (It has depth like a very small TV). It works well enough.

But I got the Mr. T voice. I don't need to turn the radio down, when Mr. T speaks you listen! (fool!)

The results are not entirely surprising as it appears Google is using its needed data connection to feed data back into its traffic routing/monitoring which one hopes they use for routing calculations. The lack of this connection on a stand alone unit make it a problem.

The Nav companies see whats coming, thus the software version for smart phones and Garmin making a phone..

Your phone company keeps records of where you are at any time based on which towers your attached to. Law enforcement can get that data.
The phone company also has access to this data, who knows what they are using it for (hopefully to place towers near congestion)?
Apple is not alone in this It appears Tom Tom/ Google are using their mapping app to get peoples speeds to get traffic info to feed back into the system...
