Put my pre-order in at Game last night and traded in my Elite & 4 games I'll never be playing again. Plus a Dual Shock 3 controller I was going to replace with the Power A xbox-esque PS3 controller. I was very surprised to see the UK price is �199... which potentially makes it the cheapest price worldwide?

Total cash to be paid on the 16th? �25 :D

Why does every headline have to be a question? look at the past three headlines. It's so annoying. Rephrase the headline.

The phrase Podcast didn't exist until the development of Apple's iPod so I don't see why they shouldn't own the rights to it or at least have some level of control for it's use.

Exactly what have they said that they've taken back?

The woman killed in the incident turned out not to be bin Laden's wife.

I think I'm gonna goto the bestbuy in irving off 183 by the mall.

Just buy T-Mobile. Its cheap and compatible with the current iphone hardware. Looks like its worth around 10 billion. They could just write a check. Its actually right up apple's alley given their hostorical desire to control everything under the umbrella. They would obviously have to make significant investments to to get the network up to par with ATT and Verizon, but the returns are there. The iphone would be untouchable if Apple controlled the networks. They would change the whole industry. Better yet, Deutch Telekom wants to sell.

I'm always amazed at how much work studios go to to keep people from watching their shows.

Apple has to at least match the toughbook for harsher climates and conditions:

The military and the Army has had a "dialogue" with Apple for years... pretty much every project involving a piece of field equipment has gone to another manufacturer because of durability concerns.

Certainly can't be Mac App Store only, because then if you skipped Snow Leopard you'd have to purchase it before you could download Lion.

oooo high as pos please. was thinking dvd screen shot but it looks pants.

The update, which weighs?

Weight is other thing. The update has a size of...

Let's use the English language correctly.

FYI: it's an expression. LOL.

OMG, who didn't know that. (http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/24/omg-fyi-and-lol-enter-oxford-english-dictionary-foreshadow-th/) :D

$3.49 gallon

Whoa. Put the coffee down.

Even better.

He's been put-down, for a while.

Looks to me like another example of "shock and awe".

Must be the season.

It took a "research firm" to figure this out? I don't know why people were expecting Verizon to get it before T-mobile. All carriers will get it eventually but it makes only sense that the one also using the GSM network will get it first.

mind telling me how, rickey939?

United is the ONLY airline that does this.

No they're not. I've listened to ATC transmissions on Delta and Alaska Air too... Then again, it's been a few years since I've flown anyone other than United, Southwest and Frontier and of those three, United is the only doing it.

I don't think it needs 5 years, the hardware is already powerful enough to handle image editing and sorting it just needs a well designed app and someway of assessing wireless storage.

Don't think just hardware though - Even though the hardware will continue to evolve, the software has a long way to go as well. They have really been making some great strides lately but still have much to do.

In addition, people's usage habits will continue to evolve. My Mom doesn't do much more than email, web, word processing and photo browsing. Does she really need a big box to do that? I see a tablet sitting in a dock connected to a keyboard/mouse and possibly an external monitor. Works just as well as that big box. Then she can pick it up and use it as a tablet when she doesn't need the keyboard.

All the pieces are falling into place but I have to agree that five years is a pretty good timeline. In ten things are really going to get interesting. ;)

Sold out in less than half a day.

And Google IO sold out in less than an hour (but costs less that a third as much, minus airfare).

Mobile development is becoming like a wild land rush.

Motorola Xoom?

I can't download it, the "Download Mac Client" is just gray. Is it becaus i live in Europe?

Only the US client went live last week
the EU one was delayed for extra testing on the servers.
official dude on the blizzard forums said they hoped to release the EU client last night - but in the end he came back and said it would probably be today (Tuesday) instead.
But, seeing as they work West Coast USA time, that might mean it's unlikely to become available to us until the middle of the night tonight

i tried the pc client under boot camp - looked great, was a real buzz to playing the old game again with such nice graphics

(especially excel on Windows)

Sorry, Mac Office blows.

yeah, its pretty crappy.

those 2 people that have voted negative (of 5 that have so far voted ) please speak up. We really like to hear your opinions on not taking your antidepressants. :rolleyes:
