  1. I think many if us with plenty of goodness with the combo, but never with a Clip myself.
  2. After a bunch of Christmas/birthday gift certificates... A few Reference Recordings redbooks: Igor Stravinsky: The Firebird Suite/Nightingale/Rite of Spring Copland: Fanfare for the Common Man; Appalachian Spring Suite; Third Symphony Eiji Oue Sullivan, Sibelius: Shakespeare's Tempest Michael Stern Yerba Buena Bounce The Hot Club of San Francisco A couple RR SACDs: Britten's Orchestra Michael Stern Tutti!: Orchestral Sampler Going to place an order for some organ RR HRxs tonight. And after hunting around for Living Stereo SACDs, went Redbook when I discovered on Amazon: Living Stereo 60 CD Collection Box (Import)
  3. Merry Christmas.
  4. Thanks everyone and happy birthday Guillaume. Fresh baked banana cookies awaiting and a white Ohio Christmas out the window this morning. A very good birthday. Hope everyone gets time with family and friends and a few drinks along the way today.
  5. Hope you had a great day Ken.
  6. As some retreated from the Midwestern cold back to the Bay Area, I headed to Ohio. So far visited with family, had some Elliot Ness beers and Dan Dees Cheddar Cheese-flavored Corn Twisters and discovered FiveFingers aren't remotely made for snow. Also Melissa and I fed some ducks.
  7. How about SSD-USB v. SSD-Firewire?
  8. Fishski here's a fun attachment to consider... Ion DNA sequencer with an iPod dock -- Engadget
  9. My Franklin case plastic hooks lasted three days. I just go commando with Timbuktu sleeve when transporting now.
  10. He's actually already clearly stated in an interview with that boring guy from the WSJ that if the market dictates Flash so be it, but he's not going to invest any of Apples resources in the current Flash. We need to remember in the future when Jobs was battling Flash, it wasn't fully operational on any other mobile platform either. Anyway, we'll see where it's all headed after Flash works well and completely on any mobile platform. And I think they're waiting for hardware acceleration on the Air.
  11. http://img89.imageshack.us/i/imagebir.jpg/ Just arrived and perfect timing for new music to load on iPhone. Heading to airport in a few hours. Thanks much Asr/Steve.
  12. I agree. My old Thinkpad held up far better than the previous HP or Toshiba, post Dell, or overlapping 1G MacBook, but hardware is just there for the software IMO, and that's where Apple is ahead for my needs. And, as others have said, the iPad is nearly pure software. As Androids mature over the next 6 months (though I really thought they be far further ahead in development by now - losing a holiday season seems a big loss), it will be interesting to see if they catch up (though in marketshare they surely will). Always thought the cloud would minimize OS preferences, but not so sure anymore. Maybe the Apple-app v. Android-browser (though they obvious have both) leanings a sign? Know Google has finally hired Android designers, so we'll see. Anyway, have less faith in Motos contributions. So far 'pure-Android' has been better than non-pure, but maybe tablets will be different?
  13. Apollo's Angels. This Fresh Air got me interested in trying to understand ballet before I completely reject it.
  14. Speaking of the future, anyone have any hopes for Moto? Not setting too high expectations...

    Hi Res Sales?

    Last year around this time there was a crazy Concord sale on SACDs (~$6 a pop). Besides Reference Recordings current 20% off sale, anyone know of any others?
  16. Me like black. Silver only has been happening too often lately. Just wish there was a spdif input. Otherwise this is great. Looking forward to Audioholics future positive review.
  17. OnLive hints towards a very near future. Fun video. [url=http://voices.allthingsd.com/20101207/dive-tech-onlive-now-more-than-just-a-game/]Dive Tech
  18. Add any new devices to the network? Have to admit I have more problems with Apple devices than others on renewing IPs, etc. in a group environment.
  19. This.
  20. In memory...
  21. Photoblog - The largest pipe organ in the world
  22. Another piece of furniture for the new apartment - Roy de Scheemaker / Leolux Pallone Chair knockoff. Very comfy.
  23. I don't believe they have an update charge process. Or at least didn't. That's why Tweetie 1 and 2 (before Twitter purchase) were separate apps. No way for him to charge for an upgrade for v.1 owners. Maybe in app purchases now, but that would show differently in the store. And although a bit step in price, nice that it's a universal app. Downloaded on iPhone and iPad. Also great it's AirPlay aware/useable.
