Discussions

If I recall... they tried to recant by clearing up that "US and UK releases do not contain the copyright protection"........ nothing was said, however, for Canadian and/or Australian releases

I love to hear the bickering of the 'great OS battles'... Can't we just admit that nobody innovates, it's always borrowed from somebody else's idea... Case in point... Apple's "Dashboard" you are comparing to the "Sidebar" in Longhorn, HOWEVER, it is more akin to Arlo Rose & Perry Clarke's "Konfabulator" which was out before Microsoft's implementation of the "Sidebar". So, who's innovating and who's copying? We may never know... Reference: http://www.konfabulator.com

TOMORROW @ 4pm PT / 7pm ET ---------------------------- Just bumping up the discussion as a reminder, sadly one of the last episodes filmed in San Francisco... I still don't like G4 and the G4TechTV website sucks content-wise compared to the old TechTV site. They would have been better off cloning the TechTV site and changing the logo. But oh well, Comcast will destroy TV one cable market at a time...

Take a look at this show, when they pan to the audience as they normally do eventually, look for me. I won't be hard to spot, I'll be wearing my summer working white uniform!

I'll just take your word for it right now and keep watching the situation before I purchase a new iPod. Sounds like it might just be a software issue, however, but I'll keep tabs on it.

I'm not doubting you saw it on the show, I'll look, it might be in reruns over the weekend... But are you using ephPod?

I've got my 5 GB first-gen as well, it's served admirably over the past couple years. I have over 6 GB of songs, so the iPod Mini is not an option for me at this time anyways. However, I do know some people with iPod Minis so, I will keep them updated. There is an issue with the headphone jack on the Mini's as noted on Apple's discussion page: http://discussions.info.apple.com/WebX?14@241.ICMiad74m6h.1@.6892f9a9 -------- As far as the disappearing songs issue... I can't find reference to that on Apple's site (no surprise) or on TechTV's gallery of show sites (or the show notes for the May 11th Show). Your songs can be deleted for a variety of issues, mostly when syncing, but I don't believe this to be the case here. I did a Google search and the closest I can come is to PC users using ephPod. here's the link: http://www.ephpod.com/listserver-archives/0778.html

Seriously, what is your problem here? All of your posts seem to bash Macs and/or Leo Laporte. Do you have any intelligent information to add to the conversation at all? Even whe i ask you to take the squabble off-board, you make personal attacks (which usually involve about three words; none of which even form a proper sentence). Here's a few questions I will pose to you: Why do you consistently bash Macs, Mac Users, and Leo Laporte? What do you do for a living? Can you provide any credibility to support your accusations? and finally, Why can't you accept that people, EVEN people at Microsoft, use Macintosh Computers on a daily basis, and quit your whining?

It looks like Comcast has given everybody at TechTV the 60-day notice. TechTV's San Francisco operations will cease as of July. I don't want to hear any macfanboy junk about it, either, as this affects all geeks everywhere. It's the death of an icon. Leo Laporte details what he can in his weblog: http://leo.typepad.com/tlr/2004/05/comcast_fires_t.html

Nice! cute dog, too! I miss mine
