  1. There's the Harmonia Mundi 50th anniversary box set too.
  2. Oops, I didn't even know we were reserving tables. If there's 1/2 available I'd gladly fill.
  3. Songcatcher soundtrack. Have my issues with the film, but great bluegrass tracks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlE6FIl68rc
  4. To be fair, CDs have the advantage that you only need one. Well, unless if you include opera.
  5. College offers freshmen a choice: iPad or MacBook - The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)
  6. Smaller selections, but the B&W Society of Sound (on their site) and Reference Recordings (thru HDTracks or HRx on DVD as Al mentioned) has some great hi-res Classical.
  7. Nice. Not sure which was better for... Any other Sinclair users?
  8. Cheers to those of us who started on Timex Sinclairs! Even prepped us for near virtual keyboards. Timex Sinclair 1000 computer To be honest, except for some early models I had as a kid, the iPhone has been my favorite computer. Maybe that's why I'm so excited about the direction the iPad and Chrome OS tablets point.
  9. Pre-ordered for this weeks release on a film many have been waiting forever to show on VHS, DVD or Blu-ray.
  10. Dell Goes Small in Tablets as It Prepares iPad Competition - Digits - WSJ
  11. Congrats! Did you go the extra mile and pick up a protective case also?
  12. The next iPad. Well next after next after next ... * The iPad Is Step 1 In The Future Of Computing. This Is Step 2 (Or 3). * Though I still think the gloves and lack of portability will make a more direct derivative of iPad more likely even when this is a technical possibility.

  15. Looks like OS only at this point, but like the Zune, who knows? Can definitely see this gaining traction, but will the OS show growing pains with additional apps? Some more shorter vids here... Windows Phone 7 Series hands-on and impressions (updated with video) -- Engadget
  16. Played with the Nexus One again all holiday weekend. Damn nice. Hard to imagine anyone using one who wasn't a heavy Google apps persons, so in a sense it's almost as closed as the iPhone (heavily geared towards browser use over apps and Googles offering over others). If I wasn't in an iPhone contract and there weren't several essential (for me) missing apps, I'd consider switching because it's such a nice piece of hardware. We'll see if Apple catches up in hardware or Android in software first. Still fun competition. Even more so with the awkwardly named Windows Phone 7 Series phone prototype.
  17. On both sides of the debate, remember Apple fought labels rather publicly on keeping music prices artificially locked to a lower $.99 @track for quite a while, so there unfortunately is an inconsistency on Apples stance (as their is between the two markets). I'm not sure I'm against setting artificial pricing expectations before releasing it to the whims of the market. Would be nice if the cost savings of internet distribution is at least partially passed on to the public before publishers use 'convenience' as a reason to offset. Then again, over time lossy music files and label expectations have dropped back down to many offerings below $.99.
  18. Thanks for the feedback. Bought the iPhone version and testing the Android beta (on Nexus). Agreed much better than eithers browser.
  19. x2. It's certainly the camera I most want, though upcoming Olympus PEN E-PL1 should be a consideration too. Either body and a pancake lens would be so much more portable than most dSLRs.
