I'd actually consider buying this if it had an option for a video card other than the intel one, and it came in a "24 inch option.

Won't Unix time go bye bye once that 2038 problem occurs/doesn't occur?

i.link is firewire 400.

I'm confused, firewire is still leading in transfering digital audio and video in the professional world. Technically, your post should say, "Firewire Will Miss you in 2010" when the new USB/Firewire specs actually are in devices that I can BUY.

Engadget might as say RIP Platter Bassed Hard Drives, Live on SSDs! Oh wait, I know... RIP LED, because OLED is new!!!

Firewire 400 is long from dead.

Only reason that Apple didn't include them in their macbooks is because they added a real graphics card and the majority of laptop users take their laptops home and hook them up to a larger monitor and external keyboard mouse. If they had firewire then they would be pretty close to being equal to the macbook pro's and no one would buy one. Myself Included.

It is a brick, the gap between the macmini and the mac pro that we all want and could much more easily afford.

It doesn't work that way...

bout, f'n time!!! :) HAPPY DAYS!!!

Either way, a home bought burner cannot encrypt the discs, a professional expensive printing press that have bought the lisences are the only ones that can encrypt them.

Whateva... I prefer HD-DVD, I think it was a more perfected format, new compression technology, and perfect 1.0 profile. Bluray has 3 profiles, discs play on some of them, and uses mpeg2.

However, I like the name and branding of bluray better.

However, I like how you can buy a combo hd-dvd, one side dvd and other side hddvd, honestly I can't see why they aren't promoting the **** out of this. "Buy your movies on HD DVD, watch them in your current player, then when you are ready to upgrade you DONT HAVE TO REBUY THE DAMN DVD"

Stupid people fighting over stupid things, honestly download distribution isn't going to settle this. Bluray will probably win, why?.. because they seem to be the only ones that have a lot of burners on the market, so that indie people like me, can buy them to archive my HD Data which eats up a ton of space.

But this is also going to be a pain in my ass since Bluray players see a burned disc and no encryption and instantly think it is pirated and then won't play it.


Stupid people running these companies!

Blah... Blah... Blah...
