The interface is attractive, but not attractive enough to make me buy a Sony product.

Actually, no, you can't run any OS on any computer on the planet. For example, you can't run the PowerPC version of OS X on a PC because PowerPC is not an Intel/x86 CPU. You are the one who is ignorant.

Agreed, this is nothing. This is simply Darwin, which is already freely available.

The image makes no mention of Vista x64. Since XP x64 can't be upgraded to or from any 32 bit version, might it be possible that XP x64 can be upgraded to to Vista x64?

Evidently you got lucky and your friends got unlucky. Your single happy experience doesn't mean that the other few thousand people who bought that D-Link router had the same results.

Back to 1995? lol
If we had 50-70k in 1995, we'd have had EvDO years ago.

Yes, the strict definition of the word is correct; it is a synonym of a word the author should have chosen. However, as I said, the connotation of the word needs to be taken into consideration as well - not simply the strict definition. That is why implausible is not an accurate word to use in this article.

I don't remember the Virtual Boy being a wearable display... wasn't it rather heavy (hence the tripod)?

Um... no, I didn't miss the point. I was replying to Mike's post where he said "So you can download via BT without having your PC on? But instead you have this router on and a NEtwork storage device on?" My point was that no one turns off their router or network attached storage device. His logic of "but instead you have this router on" doesn't make sense. Who shuts off their routers? No one. But people do shut off their PCs.
