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

(as seen on 5-11 TSS) 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

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?

From a perspective of somebody who's gone to school for television production (I REALLY miss those days...) I personally like the low-budget look, per se. It adds a casual look to the videos, makes it look less staged, makes you and your subjects look like "real people we can relate to". Plus like you mentioned, it makes the subject feel more at ease with the interview, as it's easier to ignore a camcorder than a production portable unit (not to mention the pain of carting around the camera and associated lighting kit). Bottom line: you've got a good thing going there, there's not much I would change at all, and the cameras work, and work very well for the format of this site. Now, if you were doing something for a formal Microsoft-branded site, like the TechNet site or whatever, I would suggest some higher-end equipment. but I like it as it is!

Outstanding! There seems to be a wealth of info on the subject and judging by the symptoms as experienced by quite a lot of people, static sounds right. My only issue is that I leave Connecticut in 16 days on May 11th and won't report to Silverdale, Washington till June 5th. that's a short time to get a watch out and back, and a long time to wait for a fix (if that makes any sense)...

I've had my Fossil/Abacus SPOT Watch for about a couple months now, and today it did something odd... TWICE... it apparently reset itself or something, as twice I've looked at my watch only to discover it's reset to 0:18 and it's January 1, 2003. What's the deal here? I don't live in a service area (yet), but get service when I travel to Hartford or Providence. So, what's the deal with the resets? it's rather a pain, especially twice in a day. FYI, the battery still shows a 77% charge, so it's not low... nor have I gotten it wet.
