[It should be prety clear to most people that an iPod with a screen large enough to read would be WAY to large to cary around on a belt clip and use as a music player.
It would be hard to make a good book reader. Even the screen on the Mac Book is not nearly as good as a printed page and I can't image a MB like screen on an iPod
What I'm waiting for are the "iGlasses". It is a display that look like a pair of eye glasses. Some kind of projector is built into the frame.

Does anyone know how the 7300GT compares to the X1600? I am leaning towards the 20" to replace my 17" rev. A iMacG5, but would upgrade to the 24" is the GPU is a big bump.
Well, it seems to be comparable with the X1800 GT, and that card is alot faster than the X1600.

i may be wrong (and don't flame me if i am,) but it seems like the 6G ipod should make its way to the shelves instead of an updated 5G. the 5G has been out for almost a year , hasn't it?
I think Apple has really reached a fork in the road when it comes to the iPod.
Do they really want to start selling these things as vidoe players, not just music players that play video? If so, everyone knows they need a bigger screen and that is going to run up the price of the iPod.
So they have a choice:
(1) Introduce a true video iPod and ask more for it.
(2) Drop in bigger HDs into the current line.
The introduction of movie rentals might be a testing ground to see if people are really buying the idea. So if the iVideo Store (?) does well, this might indicate that people really want true, big scree video iPods. If it does so-so that might tell Apple that they should just keep the iPod primarilly a music player and the vidoe playback be an extra feature.
If they do introduce a more expensive, full screen iPod, they need a cheap[er], higher capacity only-music player too. This is where the Nano comes in. They need to be sure they have a good, well built, atractive line of Nanos for their customers that do not want to take the plunge to the video side.
The introduction of a new Nano and a video store but not a 6G iPod might indicate that they are stilling trying to decide which direction to take the 6G. I would say that if they do introduce the video store and a new Nano on the 12th a new iPod will be out before Christmas (no later that Thanksgiving, late November).
All this is based on the assumption that a true video iPod would cost more than the current line. I make this assumption based on the fact that they need bigger hard drives, bigger screens, and better battery. All these improvements are bound to increase the price.

So Walmart is full of obese hillbillies?
I bought my iPad 2 at Walmart: 7 folks in line, 15 iPad 2's. Everyone was very nice. Im a 24yr old 6'2'', 190lb Systems engineer(with all my teeth)...and I shop there all the time. Dont hate...
I went to walmart on launch day at 4pm I was #5 in line and they had 6. Best Buy had 40 in line. I was out of there by 5:05 with my 64 gig wifi. I ordered one for my wife on line I got a 5 week date. They sent my cover right away, and took full payment from my debit card. Thats why they should send the ordered ones before they open to another chain.

Taxes had to be raised on income...
Your income tax rate "matrix" looks exactly like mine did. ;)
or how about cutting Government useless spending budgets from 100s of thousands down to reasonable #s
How about we define "useless" and "reasonable?" We can't even get people within one political party to always agree on these subjective terms, and you're throwing them about in defense of a military budget that's already been shown to be out of kilter compared to the other world superpowers?
C'mon. I won't disagree that budgets need to be tweaked, and I love a good show of technological force - but the U.S. military is way beyond adequate for what its mission should really be.

My wife said no too and this even includes my wish for one for my upcoming bday to get one.
Your wife said 'no'?
You know, this is a question that I've been wanting to ask for a long time, and this is not directed only at you, but to all responses similar to yours I've seen on such topics. It's an honest question I have, because it just blows my mind:
What the hell kind of relationship do you people have with your spouses?? I mean, seriously??! You need their explicit PERMISSION to buy something you want, with your money, and it gets to their point of people BEGGING their wives to let them buy something, only to be turned down?! How the hell do you get yourself into this kind of dynamic? The only plausible reason that a wife may be against it is if you guys are so short on cash, that $500 will break the account and drive you into poverty? And if this is the case, then you people should have a bit more responsibility than to beg your wives to let you buy something that you clearly can't afford. If you CAN afford it, and it is your $$, then why the hell do you even need to ask your wife in the 1st place, and what right does she have to refuse you? Do your wives make all the money? An iPad isn't a car or a house that needs to be a consensual and debated purchase. Your wife shouldn't have the ability (nor the desire) to stop you from buying one.
This is honestly something that Id like an answer to. Some of you seem to have a 'child/parent' relationship, instead of husband/wife. If she's the breadwinner of the house, and you mooch of her, fine I'd understand. But if you bring in the $$? Sounds like a disturbing and cold relationship. Why does she get to dominate you and dictate your decisions, void of any debate or discussion?

For the OP, in the war mongering department how would you compare Bush (W) to Obama? And were you in this forum badmouthing Bush during the Iraq war (not Desert Storm)? JC.
I don't mind giving a dictator a nudge out the door but after bankrupting ourselves in 2 wars that have done nothing for U.S. security, if the U.N. wants to take action against Libya, they can round up other volunteers to do the job which appears like this is what has happened.
Here is my take on recent history:
Iraq: The Iraq War (not Desert Storm) was one big war crime packaged and sold as a threat to the U.S. when it never was. I hold Bush and Cheney responsible. They should be in jail. We spent a couple of trillion and killed and wounded 10s of thousands of U.S. soldiers, and probably killed 100k Iraqi citizens removing a dictator in a country that posed no direct threat to the U.S. Now we have a country that is nominally friendly towards us with plenty of anti-U.S. groups within it's border. Did we get a couple of trillion dollars worth of value as compared to spending a trillion domestically? HELL NO.
Afganistan: Started as a worthy effort to kill BinLaden to avenge the Twin Tower attacks, but again thanks to El Stupido, we left there before getting the job done, and btw as soon as we left, the situation started reverting to back what it was before we showed up. I've got news for you, as soon as we leave there again, it will once again revert to what it was before. I am not happy that Obama who campaigned on getting us out of bad wars, but two years later we are still in one. This is what the terrorists want. They spend a million, we spend a trillion. Occupying a country to fight terrorists is no win for the occupier. They can wait a life time.We can't afford it. And look at Russia's experience in Afghanistan. History is repeating itself and we are just too stupid to see it. Even if we decided to annex Afghanistan and treat it like a U.S. State, the cultural divide would be great and it would be a huge financial drain for the foreseeable future. When is the U.S. going to really understand that nation building is incredibly expensive and the payoff must be incredibly worthy? And there is absolutely no guarantee that it will be successful. I especially don't see that in this case.
When the U.S. was overflowing with money we could afford it. Now we can't. We have to get our financial house in order* before we can go traipsing around the world "solving" other people's problems for them. Today, the only excuse I see for us launching into military action is if our national sovereignty is threatened. None of these wars meet that standard.
*And when I say get our financial house in order, I don't mean take it all away from the people and give it to the corporations. :p
Now, if you want to consider something very funny, ask the Republican Congress to spend a couple trillion domestically to strengthen the infrastructure of this country and help our citizens. They would scream like stuck pigs. Dangle a war in front of them, no problem. Democrats did not start this war. However I want leadership who can realistically compare the risks against the rewards. Therefore they have failed too. What other political choices are there? We just can't keep spending a billion dollars a day on this kind of a war for the foreseeable future and expect to prevail as a country.

Can't get the video to play right now, but the text sounds like Atheros writes the drivers for the built in Airport.
Sounds like a protocol bug to me if it works on different platforms and different vendors.
Hm, perhaps, the article is a bit vague on the subject.
Apple -- like many computer manufacturers -- outsources the development of its wireless device drivers to third parties. In Apple's case, the developer in question is Atheros, a company that devises drivers for a number of different wireless cards, each designed with drivers specific to the operating systems on which they will be used.
You're right, they make it sound like Atheros also writes the drivers for the built in Airport, but it doesn't say so specifically.
OS X ships with lots of default drivers for third party hardware, external wireless cards too, I'd imagine, and those could be the one we're talking about here.
Isn't the internal wireless device made by Intel? It's not sure Apple and Intel needs the help from Atheros to get drivers for that.
But even what the article says, I don't see why the demo would use a 3rd party wireless card if they could just as well have attacked the built in Airport.

I think the question of fault is moot, if there is a security problem it needs to be fixed, and if it is a simple fix, that happens before any real life security problems occur, then all the better! What I wonder is are macbooks the only macs with the issue, or only intel macs with wireless cards, or all models using a wireless card. -for example would my powerbook g4 be vulnerable.

You guys do understand that such an agreement would be so iTunes could include tracks from the Beatles catalog in their store, NOT give them license to use their pick of songs in advertising, right?
With all due respect to the 'Fab Four', it would be pretty silly for Apple to spend a million bucks for the license to use one of their songs in order to promote the songs availability on iTunes.
Let's face it.. most of the folks who want Beatles tracks already have them.. so unless iTunes will be offering some never before released tracks (doubtful) the overall impact that this will have on Apples profits is marginal, at best.
I disagree. It's about mindshare. If Apple has the exclusive, then it's a selling point VS the Zune to new customers.

WOW! Guys please go and read the 10-year old forums, it's amazingly fun!
There are comments like:
"I still can't believe this! All this hype for something so ridiculous! Who cares about an MP3 player? I want something new! I want them to think differently!
Why oh why would they do this?! It's so wrong! It's so stupid!"
It's totally like any other new product announcement today :D
On topic: I think Apple has some amazing ideas, but also that they don't hesitate to ditch them for something new if they think it's better. I think this is the only way to evolve in today's world. Most companies stick to their traditional stuff and keep pushing it even if it's not as good as it could be, just because it was some great idea they had many years ago. Apple has absolutely no respect for tradition and will always be the first to replace one of their best inventions with something totally different. I find this admirable and dangerous at the same time, but so far it had worked great for them.
While many people will still stick to traditions, Apple won't. Rationally, the click-wheel has no real advantage over a touch screen. It's slower to navigate a menu if you have to scroll through it, rather than just press whatever you like. Yes, it is awesome and you got used to it and it looks nice, but Apple won't care for that. It's good and bad at the same time.

I assume the Merom is inside?
But these babies are gr8 value!
Luckily you don't have to choose for the 7300... you can get the better 7600 inside. Not brilliant, but it's better.
So that must be it for the ATI partnership, or at least the first nail in the coffin. Nvidia is a good move anyway.
