There's a big difference. HP actually rebranded the unit. You could get an "HP iPOD" including a U2 commemorative model. Dell simply added it to its "store" like they do with the PS3 and XBox today.
Dell's entry into this market was the ill-fated "Dell Jukebox" or (DJ) and "Dell Ditty" which were rebranded Creative Nomads and Zens. They were roundly criticized for their horrible user interface and support software; neither of which Dell created.
I have no idea why this comment was modded down. I,too, enjoyed TLC before it became the "Paint Your House" channel. James Burke will always be a on a pedestal for me. He had other series and books besides "Connections". Pick up a copy of the "Pinball Effect" and you'll be mesmerized for hours reading and re-reading his prose.
There's still hope for good programming. Unfortunately, it's not coming from network or cable tv. I've setting IPTV. TWIT.TV and Revision3 are highly bookmarked on my system.
Now, how do we convince someone to put Connections on the air again? Those Youtube versions are pretty grainy...
Library of Congress regularly tosses out books and does not have them on microfiche or other archival method. Found this out on a recent visit there. I asked how they were able to store so many copyrighted materials coming in over the years. The head librarian I spoke to stated, "we keep on the significant ones".
I dived deeper into that... What do you mean by "significant"? She said, "you know, we don't keep Barbara Cartland Romance novels, for instance". Really?, I asked.
What about Edgar Alan Poe, he was a penny paperback writer in his day. Would they toss his stuff too if he were to write today?
Thanks for the kind words on the MSA1000 and MSA1500. I worked on the MSA1000 and was principle designer for the 1500. These were the first 2Gb Fibre Channel products and the MSA1500 was the first SATA/SAS tiered storage device.
So, you're not THAT "Michael Bolton"?
I wish I had mod points. This needs to be modded up.
I work for a large FW company and we host interns regularly. I am always surprised (shouldn't be) at what passes for projects assigned to them. I participated in a code review for one of these. Nothing prepared me for the abomination of code I encountered.
Now, 6 months past, I noticed another team deployed that code in their group and is coming back to our team to fix it since it originated from our group.
Smart ne Experience. This article was short on detail but long on dumping on Mr. Brooks. I think they need to (re)read his book.

Between this review, the increased cost of dumping a crappy phone, and the general high cost of actually using it for data, I'm going sit on the sidelines a little longer
A battery cover that falls off? A physical keyboard that "peels" off?
Come on Motorola! I think you're better than that!
Care to point to anything corroborating your point #1?
Reverse engineering the protocol doesn't require special knowledge from Apple engineers.
Agreed. I wonder if anyone has the details on why seeqpod was knocked off the air.
Seems to be the same issue?
Why should it apply to taxation? Taxes are not a social program. It's designed to pay for government.
Oh, and bail is refunded if you show up for court.
