  2. Oldie, but...
  3. Ex. G5 iMac SSD Upgrade : 3.5" Solid State Drive Conversion : MacGizmoGuy on Yahoo! Video I can't view the video I'm linking to (Flash), but seems possible for even older models. Course I guess size was what you were asking about. So errr...
  4. Fake Criterions...
  5. Assume most have already seen it, but Amazon now has perhaps its biggest competitor (and too bad the Kindle is one of the few not to support ePub)...

  6. Sorry, missed your post. The answer was "San Francisco designer/German hand-made layered horn frames made to my head measurements." In the end decided $1,400 frames weren't going to happen. Especially when they didn't look quite as cool as the first time. Forgot the past and knocked off the leading 1 by going with the future - Japan and plastic.
  7. Have seen him speak, read much online and buzzed around his forums, but yeah this is the first book. Have Greatest Show on Earth also but haven't gotten to it yet. Have any recommendations? Have to get to Harris' and Hitchens' latest too. Kinda back to a New Atheists mood lately.

    The Wire

    Finding constant The Wire references interesting. It shows up again in discussing WikiLinks and governments... Julian Assange and the Computer Conspiracy;
  9. Dawkins has come up in conversation a few times lately, so...
  10. If you're using a local network, what about running SlimServer/SqueezeCenter/Squeezebox Server without the Squeezebox?
  11. Article to keep in mind next time you ship: Shipping Company Reviews Best Package Shipping Company - Popular Mechanics
  12. Thanks Dinny for the test. Yeah, this direction is partially about making playback simple for the GF, so similar use case. Lovin' AirPlay myself though.
  13. Anyone pick up the Sam Cooke Live at the Copa 24/88.2 album HDTracks has been advertising along with the Jarrett?
  14. icBerlins! are a nice balance between frames with presence and physical lightness. Plus they nicely implode when you fall asleep with them and roll over. Love mine. What I'm considering next week though is ridiculous.
  15. Probably a typo, but if sic-fi isn't a genre, it should be. Either way you take sic [sic]. And older I get the less I can deal with contacts too. Glasses shopping this and next week.
  16. Looks like their new O6HD has a separate headphone DAC. What would be the point of that? Olive Media O6HD Music Server Announced - Reviews and News from Audioholics

  19. Falling in love with AirPlay (with various interweb stations). While people are testing, mind if I ask current model AppleTV owners if audio AirPlay streaming with iPhone or iPad keeps an interface going on the iDevice (normal iTunes, etc.) not blank out (with simple controls) as video streaming appears to do in Apples AirPlay vids? Trying to decide between an AppleTV or another AirPort Expess and for this use may not have a TV turned on when playing music.

    If someone doesn't mind one generation back, $89 Kindles on Amazon [Lightning Deals] at 9am PT this morning. http://reviewhorizon.com/2010/11/amazon-black-friday-deal-kindle-2-for-only-89/
  21. No problem here with Pico DAC/amp. In fact AirPlay now identifies the output as 'USB Audio DAC.' Seems more support, not less. And speaking of, AirPlay is great. May need a third AirPort Express now.
  22. Strength in flexibility Grasshopper.
  23. And what do you know? Two new albums yesterday - London Symphony Orchestra: Mahler: Symphony No 6 Cara Dillon: Live at the Grand Opera House Available as 16 or 24-bit FLAC and 16-bit ALAC.
  24. Apple will release iOS 4.2 today at 10:00 a.m. PST
  25. Yeah, I've been a fan of it for a couple years. Interesting they've released 1-2 albums a month, until last month. Not sure if there is a change going on. Nice that about a year ago they've opened it up to downloading most previous albums. 24/48 though. Know of no other service.
