  • 1. iPod Pro (smart phone) 2. iTV w/ DVR capabilities (record to a mac, no hard drive) 3. new mini 4. mac pro with blu-ray 5. 12 inch MacBook Pro
  • It's been a while since I've read them, but my all-time favorites include: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius (it starts out awfully depressing, but I absolutely loved it) Spartina by John Casey The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay (Micha…
  • My wife and I run our law office on networked macs. (She has an iBook, I have an iMac. Our paralegal has a G4 iMac.) I keep an old iBook at home and hope to buy a mini for a home theater after Macworld. A friend and his wife have a photgraphy/vi…
  • i guess i need to make sure i buy a tv w/ a dvi input. (i noticed the best buy day-after-thanksgiving $1700 toshiba 50" plasma that i was thinking about buying had no dvi input). is everyone more or less in agreement that ripped movies should be …
  • I have it, though haven't used it as intended. It seems to work as advertised, to the extent that I've used it. Right now, I've just been using it with iSight, set to play loud music when something moves, intended to scare off intruders. Oh, and …
  • thanks for the input. it sounds to me like the consensus is that i can use the mini for this purpose, though it probably won't be dvd quality. which means i'll probably wait.
  • Why is this board so quiet? We should all be buying Apple stock today. This seems pretty big. There's a reason it's called the iPod and not the iJam, iRock, or whatever (aside from the latter names reallly sucking). It has the potential to …
  • Debt is not always bad. That's ridiculous. Consumer debt is almost always bad. But almost every successful business on earth has been financed with debt. I'm pretty sure Bill Gates borrowed money from friends/family when he started Microsoft. …
  • Re: real estate. I've made a little money in real estate. Not a fortune by any means. But a friend of mine is making a killing. We graduated law school together and started out making $50k in a fairly small town. He started buying cheap rent…
  • I graduated from law school in '01. I worked for an insurance defense/corporate defense firm for my first 3 years. Every day I woke up wanting to shoot myself. The money seemed good on paper, but I blew most of it trying to make myself happy. T…
  • Some things I've learned: 1. Go into business for yourself as soon as you are competent. Its easier to starve young and single than it is when you've got a spouse and kids. And going into business for yourself will be worth it in the long haul…
  • best mockup ever. the retail price is $599 plus a 2 year contract plus my first born child plus my soul?
  • A friend of a friend told me he overheard a guy in an elevator talking about how Mobile Me referred to a new Apple cell service to be used with a new Apple iPhonePodPDA.
  • This product is an automatic flop. And it makes Apple a bad company. OK, maybe not, but I don't see them flying off the shelves. Now the $99 leather cases, that's quite a product. But I think I'll wait for the 2G leather cases to avoid all the…
  • seeing the glow of the test bars through the sticker almsot had me convinced. but if you zoom in, the black pixels at the top of the screen actually seem to overlap onto the device itself. and are in a very straight line. i'm no image expert, but…
  • i received my intel iMac about a week ago. (17" w/ 1 GB ram) i run a small business and was concerned about continuing to rely on a G4 as our primary computer. (my wife has a G4 ibook, our receptionist had been using a G3 imac.) plus, i still ha…
  • Apple has a PDA. Calendar, address book, pictures. And it holds a hell of a lot of music. Only rub, of course, is that you can't input anything into it without a computer. Perhaps the next rumored video iPod, with touchscreen click wheel, wi…
  • i graduated from law school in 2001. by my third year, about 10% of the class took notes on a laptop, and i have the impresssion that the number has increased dramatically.
  • I hate it as well. What exactly would you do with that monster? Why could the click wheel have to be so damn big? Its a bad idea as executed by the other competing players. I'd be happy if it just had video out so you could store video on it and…
  • I have an HP Officejet 3030 on Panther. In a 2 person law office, its our only printer, though we have a separate copier for high voulme jobs. Only changed the toner a couple times in over a year. (I've noticed the initial toner outlay for color …
