Click "Internet Connection" and it says:

SlingPlayer Mobile supports any type of high-speed Internet connection on your mobile device, including 3G or above cellular services such as EV-DO or HSDPA, WiFi, or USB/Bluetooth-based connections.


Maybe the approval process took a month because they needed SlingMedia to rebrand it as SlingPlayer | WiFi.
missing a number in that first dimension? otherwise, how does a "2,160 X 4,096-pixel" display equate to 4 times 1080p (1080p being 1920 x 1080)?

I plan on adding it to my shrine to all things engadget.
UnixSystemsEngineer,

You can pay comcast for basic service that is technically a DVR, or you can pony up a few extra bucks a month for good/usable service with a Tivo. There usually is a price premium on the item/service of higher quality.

I used a comcast DVR for a few months and it was a challenge to use, whereas using a Tivo has been a pleasure (Tivo HD with a M cablecard).

Hopefully comcast rolls out that DVR with Tivo software sooner than later so people can have a good DVR on the cheap.
Valley Fair is a mess too. I tried again this morning and the line was just as bad as yesterday. Was going to stand in it but it was roped off to new people at the time. this is madness!

I was going to hit the out of the way los gatos apple store but they were sold out of everything last night per the inventory tracker.

I hate standing in lines, and love having the fed ex guy do all the work for me.
Word is still a bit funky with expose when going from another application back to a word window under 10.5.4. It still selects the last word window that was being used instead of the one you actually selected.

also, diablo 2 is still busted on nvidia GPUs due to the 256 color mode being removed from the nvidia drivers in 10.5.3 (and not fixed in 10.5.4).

Apple discussion thread:

Sure D2 is an 8+ year old game, but point releases shouldn't break / remove functionality.

for example, when they removed classic from 10.5 I knew that going in and weighed my options before upgrading. However, I didn't know that going from 10.5.2 to 10.5.3 would deprive me of my precious.

hopefully Apple will make it right soon.
Is Mobile ME going to support a secure remote wipe?

Also, does this imply that the remote wipe will take an hour to complete? or is it a non-secure quick and dirty version?
motions to grull27 and points to the sign which reads: Please don't feed the Trolls.

Low ranking is should be enough for them.
do these things work with OS X software update?

also, since when do servers need support, the occasional rebuild, etc? oh right, usually during the times of serious crisis...
The camera arrived today. I put it in the charger/base, turned it on, and the screen showed "USB Connecting" then "USB Connected," after which the Samsung drive appeared on my OS X 10.5 desktop.

The drive contains four root folders and two sub folders:

DCIM
+ 100PHOTO
MISC
MUSIC
VIDEO
+ 100VIDEO

Able to copy the pictures right from the 100PHOTO folder and video right from the 100VIDEO folder.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
