I don't know what the point of ZFS would be except on the Mac Pro and XServe. Sure you can have multiple external disks connected to your MBP or iMac but if you wanted a ZFS volume you would have to keep it connected the same way all the time which I doubt someone would want to do.

One of the major downfalls is that you have to have all the content on a computer running iTunes. I don't want to have to have 60GB of stuff on my computer just so I can watch it on the Apple TV. If they update it so it has it's own subscription client and make the cost of renting or buying tv...

It's a little Leopard-like. I like the search box which acts like Spotlight.

I think it's possible they might bring the touch interface to the disk based iPods but going from iPhone to iPod Touch was a really simple step for them because they are almost identical hardware and software wise. I think Apple is really moving towards all flash memory though because it's...

Isn't there any SteveNote this year? It seems no one has really been saying anything about this expo this year.

Simply install a virus scanner on your email server and you don't have to worry about the Macs sending out macro viruses as much. If a company isn't doing that then they really should be because as you say the image of the company is at stake. I don't think it's necessary to run anti virus on...

You can use FFMpegX to convert between many formats. It's a little harder to use because there are so many options though.

Yep, you're right it will work because there is the "admin" group in the UNIX permissions and all those accounts have the same permissions with respect to anything belonging to the admin group. You might have problems accessing files from the other user but you can override the permissions...

I'm betting that someone will find a way to copy the applications from the iPhone to the iPod Touch. They're basically the same thing so I don't see why it can't be possible. Also, the screen is the same glass I believe as the iPhone and it has been proven to be pretty resistant to scratches...

A few days ago on the Nature of Things they said if the entire world used as much energy as Canada we'd need 5 planets to sustain us.

It will last a lot longer as long as your battery has the charge. I think the laptops still only draw about 5-10 W in sleep mode which is pretty low.

Meh, no big deal to me as they were too expensive to begin with and I couldn't even buy them here in Canada if I wanted to. Although it's a stupid decision by NBC and I bet they will regret it and begin selling on iTunes again.

I don't think it's really a problem besides having a lot of PPC binaries all over. You might have lots of things in /Library/Application Support but it should all work if you don't update it. Just update all your applications to universal versions and you should be good to go. Only worry...

I only get it when all the other applications are already hidden. If I'm in the Finder and option click on an application, the Finder is hidden. Hiding all other apps doesn't let you hide the current app. Is this similar to what you are doing? It doesn't sound exactly like what I just...

WPA is good only if you use a good password. Someone can still guess your password or use a dictionary attack using common words to try and get into your network. For example, the password "goawayhackers" could be guessed eventually but a longer and more random password would not be easily...

Thanks, I'm glad they fixed it.

Mine looks black enough for anything I do. The new LED backlight on the MBP should help with the contrast.

Well I wasn't around for it but I believe the main reason why it failed to gain popularity was Sony tried to control everything about it, especially not allowing porn on it, while VHS supporters did, and fully licensed the format to various companies that made cheaper recorders. Similar to...

XBox 360 uses HD-DVD drives and even so they are an ad on, not even built in. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x/xbox360hddvdplayer/ They are a lot cheaper than Blue-Ray right now which is why the PS3 is so much more expensive than the 360. Plus the 360 not even coming with the HD-DVD drive...

At least with the non glossy ones that were in the previous iMacs and the current Cinema Displays it's a little easier to get closer to the correct colour. I think anyone that really cares would have a CRT setup for testing out on anyways.
