*throwing* urine at you? Methinks that there would be a altogether more direct delivery method.

All new macs have DisplayPort (well, Mini-DP, but there's a adapter) and most Dell Monitors (that aren't the budget rubbish) have them, as well. My GTX580 has a displayport, er, port - and I've got it running to my dell 27", which also happens to do audio.

I KNEW IT!

The reason why gaming PC's don't really need to be upgraded any more is summed up in one word: Consoles. (almost) every game these days is crossplatform. The 360 is six years old. The PS3? Five. Granted, the fact that they are a "known target" makes optimising games for consoles easier - but you're still dealing with 5+ year old GPU, CPU, and RAM limits. I predict that gaming PC's will fight the catch-up wars again when the next generation of consoles (serious consoles, that is - forget the WiiU) are released, along with 4k TV's.

yep, i'll second (third?) the plex recommendation. I'm now running the server on my linux fileserver, serving up to OSX clients, android clients, iOS clients, you name it. We have 2 iPhones, a iPad, a ASUS android tablet, a windows machine, and two macs - a mac mini and a macbook pro - all connected to the same server. Works flawlessly.

Aren't most of them already one-hit wonders?

Don't forget, screensavers are executable programs. So installing 3rd-party screensavers can be an attack vector.

The need to run their own APN's comes courtesy of the SIM provider - they don't meter traffic going out over those APN's. Hence they can offer "Unlimited Blackberry!" Also, the BES stuff works better when its not going straight over the internet - you get absolute control over what the handset can do over the network. If you didn't have that, you'd need a custom APN anyway, that the telco would land on your company's network. Not that it can't be done - most mobile providers will give you a custom APN if you've got deep enough pockets. This means you can do things like land all data traffic (3G dongles, mobile handsets, whatever) on the inside of your network - its like a VPN, only your users can't do anything with the device that you don't want them to. Also handy for VISP'ing 3G connections - the telco does the mobile stuff, you do the internet connectivity stuff, and everyone's happy.

I've got one - best phone i've ever owned.

Oh, that's the one where you can plug it into similar devices, yeah?
