Oh, I love frames too. But there's only so many you can put on a wall before it starts to look weird ;) Hence the photo albums (which here on in, I will use the correct term of photo book).

We're trying to get photo books printed to document our kids' childhood. So the plan is to do a photo book for each year of their lives up to the age of 10 or so. And then maybe a book for the ages of 10-15, etc etc.

It would make for a very easy handoff when they grow up and have their own family and we want to get rid of everything cuz we're downsizing! :)

Of course the AC didn't read the whole post. Sigh. I am getting old I guess.

I specifically wrote ... *I* personally use iPhoto ... and what does the next line say? There are many other outlets to get these printed. Do you not know how to use google? Or should I do that for you too?

Be off AC, troll somewhere else.

... when you can make photo albums?! I find that we print photo albums instead of photos these days. Photos themselves are a nuisance to store or archive. Printed photo albums are nicely self-contained, easy to pack and look much better than those albums with a bunch of loose photos in it. It's really not much more expensive. I personally just use iPhoto to design and then print the albums. No hassle. Product is fantastic.

Of course there are many outlets to get these printed. I highly recommend them.

As a side bonus, your guests will think you're some kind of pro, cuz honestly, even with no experience, they come out looking really really good. Nothing says pro like a full page bleed :)

Then again, what do I know? I'm just an old fart with a 4 digit ID. ;)

I love the Raspberry Pi project, and have my CC ready to order. However, this isn't that spectacular of a use for it :)
There are a ton of specialized boxes that already do it in a neat package with a proper remote. (personally I use a WD TV Live both 1st and 2nd gen).

To all those criticizing the performance, or codec support etc etc, remember this is just ONE of the many things this thing can do and it's just to show you the potential of what a $25/$35 general computing device can be made to do. The coolness of the platform is yet to come. I for one am more excited about the projects that people have not thought of yet, because they haven't gotten their hands on one yet! So much potential. So much fun to be had.

Doesn't that say it all?? Here's my solution: disband the CRTC and use the money to fund local bands/artists. Maybe setup a new "record label" that is a little more in-tune with society of today, not of yesteryear. There's a lot of things we could do with the money! (Our money mind you!)

They're comparing something that's coming out soon (TM) vs something I've had for over 8 months! I sure hope it beats the ipad2 in benchmarks. All these numbers games are silly. It used to matter when I was building 486 DX50 desktops vs a 486 DX2-66 ... but not so much these days. There's a very very very small percentage of people that would care and/or notice.

Wow, I guess I've become an old man! Complaining about you kids are your silly games. My apologies. </rant>

What, like HP?

HAHAHAHAHA. Best. Video. EVAR. (and I'm an iPhone user)

Hmm .. let's see. HTC, Samsung, LG and Moto make Android phones. HTC, Samsung, and LG also make WinMo (sorry ... WP7) phones as well.

I can't imagine Moto's differentiating factor between all the other handset manufacturers are the only bits that MS has issue with. (Anyways, isn't it all just skinning on top of Google's Android?!)

Soooo, this must be a "screw you" for no longer making WinMo phones?

I have a 40GB PS-Fat. The blu-ray laser has died on me already. I've replaced it since, but that was a $60 item and time. Near the end of the cycle of these consoles, I can see a perfectly good use for this jailbreak. If my laser dies again (which apparently it's certain to do!) then if I have all my games backed up to the drive, I can still play them! (True I won't be able to buy any more, but that's ok, my gaming has slowed down in my old age any how)

I'm seriously looking into this HD upgrade then jailbreak then backing up the games to a HD deal. It would give me great peace of mind and work around a defect that sony won't own up to. Plus things would load faster! That's just win-win-win as far as I can see.
