  • If anything, Apple should drop FW400. Why? Because FW800 ports are backwards compatible. You just need a cable or adapter with the appropriate connections. The FW consortium went with the new connector for a very good reason. They should start …

  • The next thing to show up will be 802.11n. Intel already has a chipset for 802.11 a/b/g/n. And they just played an important part in ratifying the standard for n. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060112-5963.html
  • Maybe they dropped FW800 because Intel doesn't have support for it yet. We know that Intel makes boards with FW400 suppport. Anything with FW800 support?

  • Actually, I have a question about this. What's the point of the remote if you can't see what you're doing? It would be nice if you could hook the new dock up to a tv and the tv displayed Front Row. But as I understand it, the remote just controls…

  • This is why I bought a ReplayTV instead. TiVo appears to be selling their soul piece by piece to big content. The 30 second skip keeps getting axed. None of the DirectTiVos have true Series 2 features (namely HMO and ethernet capability). Mean…
