That is kind of a silly statement.
What DVD Jon has done is made it possible for OTHER companies to get in on the action and offer content for US, the users of the iPod. I commend him and more importantly I look for other content that is better than 128 kbps and doesn't cost 99 cents per song.
If you want a song with better quality and is less than 99 cents then go somewhere else! Use a Zune with M$'s new online store.

What is the purpose of inserting the domain information? Since I'm on TW I used the domain and signup information for my TW account but wasn't sure if that was what you used for just made up your own login for the VPN.
Cablevision has a login for the iPad app to log into their network and watch LiveTV. But it looks for you to be on your home network for it to work. The VPN software requires a name and password to connect to the VPN server. That is the name and password I created in the instructions above.
i was able to pull up the channel screen, however, I can only get a couple of non-HD channel stream for about 5 secs. The app then tries to load again and eventually crashes. This was on 3g and I have not had the opportunity to try it on an external WiFi network. I'm not sure if this had to do with 3g or the upload speed from my home network. It would be great if it could stream on 3g. I checked the upload speed on my home network and I'm only getting about .50 Mbps. I'm not sure if that is sufficient to stream over 3g.
I get 6Megs upload from home. Why is your so slow? That doesn't sound right. You have TW internet?

Generally, the times messages were sent, and sometimes the messages themselves, are stored for around two years for legal reasons, after which they're deleted. That's the case with text messages AFAIK, anyway.

Bad choice of name.
When most people hear "iBook" they think about either fruit-colored or white portable computers. Perhaps a better name is in order?

Sounds like there were much bigger issues here than a simple spelling error.
Yeah, seriously. I don't think there's ANYTHING that anyone could text me, spelling error or no, that would cause me to fly into a murderous rampage.

also, is this the best way to alert the powers that be of these design issues? (and, more importantly) do the powers that be need/want to be alerted about this stuff?

Actually I think that all intel macbooks ( including pro) 's airport card is 802.11g and draft N... the problem is that they cant advertise it, because n is still in draft status at IEEE... so you can't really say hey this is an N... because N doesn't really exist as a satandard ( making a standard is a lenghty process takes about 5 to 6 years for the whole process...) if anyone has a draft n wifi router, please try and check the conection speed on you mactel macbook.. would be good to know if this is just a rumor, or if its really a fact.. i know i read it before buying my blackbook.. but alas.. i dont have a n draft router...
When the Airport Extreme came out it was before G was approved, they later flashed it up to the standard because it was close.
There are many Pre-N routers out there. All you have to say is 'Pre-N' and you're good to go.

That's good advice, I've been doing it with sites I make for a year or so now. I also add a <no script> where I put the email address (without a link) and @ replaced with [AT]. Just in case any random people happen by that don't have javascript enabled.

I have a 16GB iPod touch (1.1.3 with apps, Incase black protective cover, Power Support anti-glare protector) and would like to trade for an unopened 8GB iPhone. I have the original box and all the stuff it came with. There are NO MAJOR scratches on the back, just normal ones from my iPod sock. The screen has no issues nor scratches. It's been used since Christmas day, but looks new.

Im thinking the local PCworld, Comet or Currys might be a better bet with everyone planning on going to the retail stores?
All depends on who has stock and how much stock they have?
Im after the 16 or 32GB 3G

The ability to take the iPhone (aka: your camera) away form your Mac during video chats presents some legit potential.
While this could be done (to an extent) with the original firewire iSights, the cable limited these kind of options.
I look forward to seeing how this shakes out.

I looked at the Bluetake 500 that you have McGarry...looks pretty good...how much?
I got it at a local store for $50. But I have seen it online for as low as $38-40, plus shipping maybe. I found the best prices on CNET's comparison tool.
eCost (www.ecost.com/ecost/shop/detail.asp?dpno=493694) seems to have them on some sort of promotion that appears to bring the price closer to $30. I say "seems" and "appears" because it involves some sort of savings club membership. Apparently free shipping too. I've never bought from them.

There's a lot more to it than just x megapixels = y size print. However, as a really basic guidline you can look at this chart (http://forums.adoramapix.com/entries/228318-resolution-and-image-quality). In addition to straight dpi/ppi your choice of paper and the printer used will make a world of difference and change the effective resolution.
Another issue is going to be viewing conditions. If you print A0 and plan on holding the print in front of your face in bright lighting you are going to see pixels. On the other hand the same size hung on a wall and viewed from a few feet away will look much better. Then on top of that the type of glass used in the frame can make a difference in the look of the print.
Other considerations would be, did you crop the print? How sharp is the lens you used and how well focused is the picture? What did you do in post processing?
That being said, I've sold 20x30 prints based off of a 10MP images. You won't find those prints in a gallery but they still looked pretty good. With a few tests and a little effort you should be able to make good prints off of an 18MP file.
Hope I didn't ramble too much and you got some useful information out of that. :)

Cybergypsy has an opened 8GB iPhone but she doesn't want an iPod Touch, she will trade even for a 4GB iPhone. So if you can a hold of one of them, that'll work out for both of you.

Apple doesn't put on Macworld. There used to be two Macworlds, one in SF in Jan. and another on the East Coast in the summer. The Boston show disappeared a few years after Apple stopped going to that one. The WWDC is now Apple's summer event.
More precisely, the Boston show moved to New York City. After September 11, they people behind the show wanted to move it back to Boston and Apple refused to participate for some reason.

Why pay $200 to some skecthy website, when you can go to Walmart and pay $200 for the Nokia E71 Straight Talk.
Why would I pay $200 for a phone that doesn't work?

So far it's been excellent. I just ordered a refurb 24" ACD to go with it. Yes, if anyone wants the 20's, they'll be for sale.

standing on my apartment roof watching the smoking towers. i lived in brooklyn at the time, and watched as the smoke billowed out towards me. i used to live a few hundred yards from the wtc, but moved out to brooklyn the year before 9/11, still used to go through it every day on the way to work though (the N train). i was going to go shopping that morning in the mall beneath the towers, but woke up late (i was working afternoons at the time, and then decided not to rush and get there, so just took it easy (building my new lego technics star wars tie bomber that arrived the day before :o , until i heard the news that is).
i ended up watching the tv all day, desparately trying to contact everyone in england (all my family is there) to let them know i was ok. the only person i couldn't get through to was my mother, finally managed to get an email through saying i was fine, and she hadn't heard what was going on (no tv's or anything in her office), then her boss walks in with the news and she's worried as all hell, not understanding my email. then five minutes later i got through on the phone.
i still remember the smell more than anything, and then the sounds of the firefighter's locater things. i used to work just below 14th st (which was a cut off point) so i managed to get there later in the week, but it was just so surreal. some of our clients were having a breakfast meeting in the Windows of the World that morning, only two survived, one 'cause he was late, the other went out to get some more magazines or something (in advertising). other than that, i'd consider myself extremely lucky, everyone i know that works there was fine, amazingly no one i personally know was hurt that day (physically anyway, plenty of emotional pain though)
