  • The reseller I spoke with mentioned only the 1.42s, not the others. Surely a technical update would be across the board?

  • I can offer further evidence of the 1.42's demise: A local seller was told by Apple to not order any more of the 1.42s. They are EOL. Dare one even type the word: confir----

  • Alas, the CAT is incompatible with my preference of devices. I admit the Aibo probably won't be soft and cuddly, but I will be able get it's attention when I want it. A CAT would be another story entirely.

  • I have complained about Apple's pricing. I may yet complain about the Aibo's pricing. I complain about Apple's pricing because I have used the products and have judged that they are priced higher than I think they should be. I have not yet …

  • There is a pic of the skateboard at http://www.us.aibo.com Apparently AIBO rides it like a surfer swims on a surfboard ( on his stomach, using his legs to push and to turn the steering wheel. ANd here's a movie of an AIBO on the board: http…

  • THe software for self-charging (and more) is called "Recognize" and consists of the self-power-monitoring ability, and a pretty decent optical recognition package that allows the 'bot to recognize it's owner's face. The AIBO's personality is based…

  • A well-bred dog with a family history of good personalities and disease resistance can easily set one back that much in a year with food, vet visits, grooming, kenneling. This way, I can just box him/her/it up if it begins to be a pain. Then …

  • Ok, I talked myself into it. I just ordered a Cyber Blue Sony Aibo 210A, Energy station, recognition software, Memory Stick reader/writer, and an extra battery. Total damage: $1,700. We'll find out in a few days if this was a screwup or gre…

  • I'd love to have a live canine, but I'm home less than 10 hours a day. A live animal deserves more time than a few minutes a day With an AIBO, I could spend "quality" time with it when my schedule allowed - since I could turn it on or off at my …

  • What Programmer and NetroMac said. I've been advising clients without an immediate need for a Mac to hold off until late summer/fall after the 970s arrive. Remember that there will be manufacturing bugs in the initial units (there always are with…

  • Just so you know, Motorola is facing a nasty lawsuit from shareholders. IT seems that MOT kept nearly a billion dollars in loans off the SEC reports regarding an ailing Turkish phone system. In effect, this could cut Motorola's income by more …

  • It's all about the buzzwords. The megahertz myth was true until Intel got chips more than 50% faster than the G4 in combination with better motherboard architectures. If people are silly enough to buy "more megahertz means faster" now, there's…
