Can't you put in a new drive yourself. I swapped out a 40GB drive and replaced it with an 80 in my TiBook 867. The TiBook user manual even had directions with illustrations and there were several sites on the net that had more complete directions. N…

Mel, as someone who has swapped out the battery in a 2G iPod, I agree that the iPod has always been a closed system and I doubt there's any likelihood that it will change. Your flash memory remarks were about the Nano, where flash memory does mak…

Personally, I wouldn't try and read any tea leaves based on the Warner VP resignation. I've seen speculation ranging from that they're going exclusively HD-DVD, to start putting out more BD, to going BD exclusive. One person even had the gall to say…

Walter, nice post (#3021), but one correction. When VHS came out it was the only format. Of course, if you were rich you could get abridged sound movies on 16mm film. If you were really rich you could get the whole thing on 16mm and if moderately we…

Hey guys, I think we're all idiots for hanging on to this thread as long as we have and continuing to say the same things over and over. Right now over in AVS it seems more HD-DVD people are posting in the BD forum than BD people. It's kind of c…

Watching Marz, Bite and Murch are like watching three accomplished song and dance men at work, shifting their tune and feet to make the best of every announcement. The Paramount deal was a big one. Over on the AVS BD forum it was kind of like an …

I'm a great fan of dual monitors so I'd go for a 20" iMac and an external 20" or 24" LCD.

One more thing about the Paramount news, does that mean that the B-d consortium will now feel a great deal of pressure to make a deal with Universal to go neutral, one that they simply can't refuse?

With the exception of "The Bourne Ultimatum", the titles mentioned for release in the Universal article are pretty ho-hum and as a exclusive Blu-ray owner won't be missed on my part. But the "The Bourne Ultimatum" is one movie I want to see and prob…

The Spider Man pricing is totally unreal. This is the bad old days of laserdisc pricing all over again and another sign that the studios are shooting themselves in the foot again. It's almost as if the studios have given up on HD ever being a consum…
