Quote: I'd also like to know about DRM with HD movies on either format. Am I going to need a 'sanctioned' TV in order to use them? Is ripping software even a possibility? [/B] Ripping should be no problem, provided you have a blu-ray / HD-DVD bu…

Are you kidding me, Verizon's FIOS offers 100Mb service to the home, even a tenth of that is enough for a couple simultaneous HD streams. I use Cablevision which is up to 15Mb dowstream, still plenty fast. I have no need for stock piling disc…

Again, don't buy this junk. Blu-ray and HD-DVD players are just a compilation of cheap plastics and electronics that probably cost about 10-20 bucks per player. The whole thing is a marketing scam. They created two standards on purpose, to get a …

A clean way to do the GUI integration in the finder would be: -Add a path/URL bar to the Finder window (this is the most obvious). Allow users to hide this if it bothers them. -Replace the 3 view mode buttons in the Finder window with a drop …

Quote: Finder can already handle remote files over HTTP, FTP and SFTP. This is another reason to add a URL bar, instead of having to map an HTTP, FTP or SFTP directory that you plan to access once, why not just punch in the remote path/URL grab …

I just don't think it makes much sense for me to have to switch between Safari and Finder depending on where the files I want are. The internet is becoming a more and more important part of the general OS environment and those like myself that …

Quote: - What? you are already able to "click" with your trackpad. You're able to tap virutually, however you're not able to physically "click" the trackpad like you can on the iPod. That is what I'm suggesting. It just seems like an obvious i…

Sure, you can use Mac OS X to learn the BASH sh shell, which is about 80-90% of what you'll need to know to consider yourself a Linux/Unix user. Pickup a generic linux or Bash book and see what works and what doesn't in the Mac OS X shell. You'll …

Quote: Originally posted by Blackcat I hope not. I want to own my movies, not rent them. Why couldn't Apple offer that option on iTunes, you can stream the movie any time you want without having to pay for it each time. You could still own …

Quote: Originally posted by Telomar Storage prices are down to around $0.50 per GB and dropping, especially with the release of perpendicular recording. So $12.50 in storage and the cost of an internet connection that most people want anyway. I…

Quote: Originally posted by e1618978 Another limitation is hard drive space. How many 25GB to 100GB movies are you thinking of storing on your computer? 1 at a time, I'd just stream any movie I want anytime I want it. I know we're used to…

Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison With HD-DVD and Blu Ray you will be able to watch a movie and view the supplemental materia simulataneously? Imagine watching the Burly Brawl scene in the Matrix Reloaded and watching how it was created i…

Again, I think both blu-ray and HD-DVD are obsolete, I rather just download or stream 1080p movies from iTunes. The age of optical media is almost over.

Quote: Originally posted by gregmightdothat It does, actually. There's a whole list of package receipts somewhere. It's just that the OS doesn't do anything useful with them. Gregmightdothat, if you come across the details of the package rece…

Lundy, you seem to understand my concerns well. I think Mac OS X should record all changes to the file system made by an installation (so it becomes the OS's responsibility instead of getting every developer to co-operate). This way when you unins…

Some of the projects in the open darwin development effort would suggest a central package management feature may be in the works. Most of which suround the Fink project.

NIETHER! Are you kidding me? Removable media is soon to be obsolete, that includes HD or Blu-Ray. DVD's of any kind will be replaced with downloadable and streamable HD movies on demand through iTunes, just like what happened to CD's. I me…
