Hopefully, ActiveX.

I can't wait for super-colds to arrive, thanks to this breakthrough. The common cold is innocuous enough, so why force it to evolve?

Cell tower? Ever think he could be talking to his crew on the time machine, smart boy? It's clear to me from the video that is exactly what is happening.

I like how they circled back to the version numbers of 10 years ago. Ah, the good old days of kernel 2.0.36 and ext2. I remember the joy of getting my sound card working on that: "...and I pronounce Linux, Leenux".

Apple's domestic market share has doubled in the three years since moving to Intel. They moved to Intel just as Intel was introducing a great leap in technology. Going with Intel also allowed for virtualizing MS Windows or dual booting, eliminating most of the risk for switchers. They bought PA Semi specifically for iPod/iPhone systems. It had nothing to do with Macs, so how is that a "flailing effort"? They haven't even introduced a PA Semi-designed product yet. CUDA tech is basically what they are doing with Open CL in Snow Leopard, so nothing missed there. You are a looking 0 for 3 to me.

Offtopic? Er, this is exactly the topic, moderator friends.

You can pick up a low-end iPod touch for $230, which is cheaper than most touch screen universal remotes, so you could potentially use it as a dedicated device. You would still need (and I'm talking post-OS 3.0) a set of bluetooth infrared transmitters.

Ah, yes, you're right about that. I don't have problems with the manual sync if I have a solid data connection, but you're right, all folders should be synced at all times. Oh, another big one: email searching.

Exchange support is really good, actually, for the features supported. If you mean more complete Exchange support, I wholeheartedly agree: Out of Office setup, Schedule visibility when setting up meeting invitations, rich text editing, to do list syncing, etc.

You mean to tell me Blockbuster is still in business? Who knew?

There are about 15-20 million iPhones now. If you count Nokia's smartphone market share, and not include their budget handsets, their advantage is not so marked, and quite vulnerable.

If I can recognize all the people in my photos, then software can be made smart enough to do it. Sure, it's not there yet, but we all know how software advances, and things thought impossible 15 years ago are commonplace today.

I'm thinking, pate that never goes bad.
