While I am not sure these are real, this is not a valid critique. There is no publicly-available, external API to access your currently playing song. This is an Apple and Nike internal project, and frankly they can do whatever they want. Given…

Basically what you need is a back-closet Linux box with a decent server/GUI implementation. Or perhaps a Hackintosh server if you want the Mac gui. Or just buy an old Powermac/Mac Pro and a server license...

Easy, buy a Lenovo X300, rechassis it in Macbook Pro silver. Done.

I think with the upcoming Firefox 3.0b4 and Safari 3.1, the speed differences are pretty minimal and very fast. I keep trying to change to Firefox for browser sync, but end up coming back to Safari.

If you want to drag and drop music, you can also use MacFUSE and itunesfs to mount the iPod filesystem. I would just use iTunes which seems alien on the PC, but works pretty similarly to the Mac OS finder except for the occasional interface inconsis…

I like YummyFTP. Although I have pretty moved to MacFUSE and sshfs which just seems more integrated.

If they come out with a Front Row style interface that can match Tivo and CableCard, then they will have my business. It sucks that Tivo Series 3 doesn't have TivoToGo, that is the only reason I haven't picked up a DVR, the TWC DVR is just comple…

I like the idea of e-ink but its limitations are too great right now. A Netflix style/library rental service would be better for me anyway. The keyboard takes up space for something I would almost never use. The buttons are awkwardly placed. The …

Has anyone tried a MacFUSE SFTP solution? How is the speed and compatibility? I would just prefer Finder access anyway to SFTP instead of using a separate app.

I think the TV pricing needs some work also. I would love to dump cable TV in favor of a downloadable, on-demand system. But the pricing never works out, and I barely watch any TV... They need to have better package pricing or a subscription model (…

While Leopard overall doesn't seem all that exciting to me as an end-user, every developer I know or follow seems to be very excited. This matches most of the stuff that Steve has talked about, so I think the apps will be more exciting even if the u…

There is so much stuff that can be done: 1. They could add a true gaming API akin to DirectX. 2. They could start adopting XFS as standard for Server and maybe even desktops depending on how big HDs are. 3. Start using metadata more extensi…

So now you have to choose between the Touch and the nano, size or interface? And you still can't get a large hard drive iPod with a large screen? I mean this is not rocket science. I was really expecting the iPod touch to come in 80gb/160gb…

With the Meizu Nano knock-off, I think that we should expect full-screen iPods for the whole range... Why not have 3 lines? 1. Full-size: iPhone without the phone + large 160GB HD. 2. Nano: full-screen, but about the same size as a nano + 1…

Sony is the last company that should complain about greediness. Their greed is what has made the company stumble. They continually try and lock their customers into their own proprietary formats and are so scared of affecting their revenues from one…

I think yahoo mail, which is pretty nice, also supports IMAP, although you may have to pay for that (additional benefit, push e-mail should you get an iPhone which apparently .mac does not have). Basically do not bother for e-mail getting .mac. I…

I don't really want to see government involved in this kind of piddly nonsense of requiring unlockable phones or anything. The real problem is that they failed in the beginning to mandate a standard. We should have just picked either Japan's system …

Newsfire/RSS- I like Google Reader just fine, so I hardly think that is necessary, although Google Gears would be ideal. Delicious Library- if you just want to see what you have, then publish to the web. Adding things would be nice. Coverflow vie…

I just wanted the smaller size of the nano, plus the ability to exercise with it counted for a lot versus the Video with its hard drive and slightly larger size. Of course they should add video to the nano. There are plenty of other competitors w…

I figure the $500 price point is probably subsidized, they just aren't giving you the real option of a non-subsidized price, or rather they are: +$175 which is pretty typical anyway. The real issue is why bother if it is going to be locked and th…
