Apple is unique in that it generally makes money without annoying us to death. Most companies (and especially most websites) have business strategies based around annoying ads. I've heard the ZuneHD gives you a little ad every single time you open…

I dislike DRM as much as the next guy, but DRM'd textbooks sound like a great model. Right now students typically pay outrageous prices for dirty, beat-up, used textbooks. Then, a few months later, they sell those textbooks back at a substantial…

For me: $2.87 per movie. I'm interested in what other people are paying. Anyone else want to do the math? NOTE: To calculate that number, I pulled up my Netflix history and counted how many movies I had actually received during 2007: 77 mo…

Wow, cool! Thanks so much. I can't imagine why they made it default to stay open....

It's good to see the two companies doing SOMETHING together, even if this is one I'll probably never use. My goal is usually to stick in my headphones and drown out the awful music in Starbucks; certainly not to buy it. BIGGER PICTURE: I hope…

I'll chime in on my 2005 Jeep: iPhone integration is excellent. I upgraded from a Windows Mobile Phone (T-Mobile SDA) that SORT-OF worked with the Jeep. The iPhone's integration is far better. iPhone gives me the option to answer or place a ca…

Must we fix this problem with laws? Like most people, I agree that AT&T does suck. I love my new iPhone, I miss T-Mobile and wish Apple had gone with them instead. However, those are just my wishes. I didn't spend millions upon million…

Hands down, this is the finest version 1.0 product I've ever owned. The predicted updates will be great, but I suspect anyone who has used one of these for a couple of hours is already sold for life. I'm one of those lucky souls who bought AAPL a…

Beyond wasting my time by stating the blatantly obvious, the author further offends with gross laziness. From the article: "Consumers paid $250 for a first-generation, 15GB iPod -- the same price as they would pay today for a 30GB device that …

Wow, that's one spectacular iPhone you've got there! I hope the real one turns out just as sleek and unique as yours. Nice work!

Thanks, CaseCom: ramseeker.com is a very helpful site. Places like Mac Zone and Mac Warehouse were giving me prices in the $350 - $450 range. I guess they overcharge because they can. Glad I asked. I'll probably go with Crucial on your reco…

Easier solution than DVDExtractor: I was recently delighted to figure out how to digitize copy protect DVDs. I've only tried this on ones I own the rights to, of course. You'll need: * Final Cut Pro (or iMovie, or something) * a DV deck o…

SDW2001: If your Pismo and iBook both have Airport cards, then your Airport Base Station is the only router you need. I'm running three machines off an Airport (using a cable modem with a single IP) and the Airport handles this effortlessly.…
