It's always depressing to see someone else succeed at such an obvious idea. Maybe next time...
The idea is nothing. The kid obviously put time and effort into finding a decent supplier at a low price, marketing, web development. Hats off to him.
If you think you can develop a good idea then go ahead and try, there's loads here: www.ideaaday.org (http://ideaaday.org/)
Do me a favour and PM me so I can track your progress.

I really like the ads. I think John Hodgeman actually makes them work though - being in the "PC" role has got to be much more difficult than the "Mac" role.
I'm planning to put his "The Areas of my Expertise..." book on my Christmas list. He read some excerpts from it on NPR a while back - hilarious!

You're welcome. Hope you like your SSD upgrade. You may wish to take a look at http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1125400
Some older Mac Minis can have the CPU upgraded, but on both 09 Minis (they are very, very similar) the CPUs are definitely soldered on. This kind of info would be shown in a teardown of a Mac (these tend to be done fairly quickly after a new model is released)

I read some of these posts and wonder if the people debating "What good is the Ipad?" are paying any attention to what people are doing. And, I mean, doing now that they never did before...
I took notes in university in longhand. I'd never do that again. Not when I can sit there (or, someone else can) and record the lectures on a digital recorder. Most lectures you only need to hear twice before you've squeezed out what there is to get. If I took notes, it would be from the replay - and I'd fast forward through that! Then again, what are email and Skype good for?
Mobile phones were a hilarious idea when I first heard about them. And, I first heard about them because the engineering students were working out how to do "cells" so you could move around. You could see the sole antennae tower (Up there!) as you used the phone - outside - and you could also usually see a bank of pay phones somewhere around you at the same time where you could make calls for a dime. Now, you go to the can and talk on the sh****er and people think this is "normal."
I used to spend hours in the language lab parroting tapes. Ridiculous idea now to go to dedicated building, to a special room, to ask some guy to change your tape from his "star trek" booth in the front of the "lab." And, don't ask me about all the lectures and stuff that used to be on LP records that you had to check out - after you got there in the rain - from the library. (Remember those?) As for "Educational TV..." Egad, the amount of effort spent getting everyone to sit down in the darkened classroom. And, over head projectors.... Snooze....
And, dictionaries and reference manuals and, oh yeah, textbooks... We're talking 80 pounds of books to keep track of and haul around. A few people were destructive/smart enough to take their notes IN the book. Hell if you forgot them, or, lost them, however...
I could go on, but I wonder if I was ever dumb enough to really care about the negatives being offered about this device when there are so many clear advantages to this and others being used in combination.
Last, I volunteer teach a number of skills and hobbies and have noted that the PC generation would "drill down" into an issue a lot more than the current "google" generation can even imagine doing. My generation would read books, take notes, and discuss things. The PC generation would read books, figure out some way to graph things, and then argue the results. The current group honestly thinks - in the way that they think - that every question has an answer and it can be looked up. Any sentence longer than ten words puts them to sleep.
Still, they have a point. This Ipad, and other devices, is/are a tremendous learning and work shortcut and people will become increasingly addicted. They won't be wise, or, good neighbors, but they will be good customers for anything - including your offerings - if you can keep it simple, and quickly accessible.

So what is the alleged "NSFW" security hole? The article never says anything about that. Is it the same "hole" that a USB keychain drive has - that someone could copy sensitive data to the phone, which could then be stolen? Is it because joining a corporate Wi-Fi network could introduce a backdoor through which malware could attack? Something else?
Or is it just paranoia from someone who thinks all devices must have system-crippling amounts of antivirus software in order to avoid being presumed a death trap?

Except of course, the Unix backend that powers OS X also powers ATM machines, practically every cellphone, a lot of cars, and many other servers/embedded devices as well.
No, it doesn't. The Unix backend that powers OS X is pretty much Apple built by now (Darwin/XNU don't at all ressemble their ancestors) and I don't think Apple is a SysV licensee, so they don't share any code from most commercial Unix systems.
The only thing they share with those other Unix systems is having passed the certification suite from The Open Group.
However I do agree with you that the other guy doesn't really have a clue. Windows is about as flexible as a concrete slab and as versatile as a blade of grass in the networking arena. The only reason it's so widespread in the server arena is because you need to multiply the number of installations just to get a working LDAP directory that resists logon requests from 5 client boxes. Meanwhile, any commercial Unix worth its salt can serve up many times more requests from a single box, while consolidating other services as well.
ATMs might run Windows, but the backend they connect to is a Unix system (and actually, my bank here still uses some version of OS/2 Warp for their ATMs, something I found out after finding a DoS bug in the card reader that crashed their software and forced a reboot).

I have set up another instance of the widget to monitor glencox, he'll be my next conquest, matter of hours. Just one more WU.
The code behind that arrow is the same as the arrow we saw pointing down after the 1 place drop for the team.
I'll check it out...
Still very strange though.

At first read I was going to be skeptical....I mean isn't this just cold fusion?
Having read through the science on this now...we'll this is pretty interesting.
The main hurdle appears to be the actual application of this into some type of consumer device...and that being cost effective at the end of the day.
If this works out..yea, we are talking about some major changes....
Why are these guys in Utah though?

Considering the Mini got bumped lately do you reckon that's very likely?
Yes.
I'm sure Apple will progress the Mini to C2D when they Macbook is updated. The Mini only received a minor speed bump the last time around and I bet it had more to do with keeping consistant pricing than it did with updating a product.
Yes.

Great thread for all of us green thumbs out there! Of all the specialized forums I have belonged to, none of the folks are as helpful as the photographers. IMHO
For me, photography is a passion for the moment. Maybe one captures a piece of time whether it is for a second or a century. Sometimes I know what I want to capture, but other times I just take pictures in the spur of the moment. An example: lets say you are walking with or without you significant other and it is during the winter. You approach a house with a snowman in the front yard and you think, wow that snowman is cool and it brings back memories, so I had better take a photo to recapture an image from the past. Although, one can look to the future too! This is the beauty of photography! There are no rules, limits, or boundaries, hence zero gravity! :)

No way in hell. They've already asked their developers to change app resolutions once. 3 screen sizes will never fly with developers.
99.999% likelihood of this being total nonsense.
its possible to have a 10" iPad and a 7" inch iPad, as long as they both have the same resolution, screen size doesn't really matter to developers, they wouldn't have to change anything on their apps. Same goes for the iPhone/iPod touch, Apple could have multiple screen sizes, but still keep the same resolution for all of their devices.
that being said, I don't believe Apple will make multiple sizes.

He has removed the "Apple is paying me too much money stuff", condensed his statement about the Mac ads, talks a lot about Bruce Willis and his new Die Hard 4 dilm he is working on, and has cleaned up the formatting a bit (he uses linefeeds now).

I went to the Apple store with my Steadicam Smoothee and its iPhone 4 camera holder.
The holder is about as tight a fit as you could ever make for the iPhone 4. So I tried mounting a white iPhone 4 into it.
It was definitely tighter than my black iPhone 4. I didn't want to force it, so I just left it at that.
