Post what you're watching
Watched Human Target -- as much as I loved the anti-Christmas sentiment, it wasn't the best episode. There was something just awkward about some of the dialog.

Tekton Lore - Anyone heard these?
Pimpin', man, and I mean that in the best possible way. Those red speakers that Focal make...I really like them.

I've Become a Computer Audio Wacko!
I don't even know what my ratios are -- the categories are: iPod listening in car; iPod listening elsewhere (office or home); computer listening; CD (much lower lately -- I'm more likely to rip and listen on computer or iPod); vinyl (that one I know -- zero ); playing (also zero lately ); making up or replaying stuff in my head (quite a bit lately); movies (more than a little); my cats (quite a bit lately); ambient noise (not the genre -- I just didn't want to put "silence") (also quite a bit lately -- I tend not to listen when I'm reading).

I think it's psychological, the relief you feel working on a computer with an SSD drive (or SSD front end) is like crack, it makes you feel good ...-> more enjoyable listening.

Sound Bars?
Dew et. If you still need to go soundbar because of the form factor and/or WAF, there is (probably) one sound bar that would be good, but I forget which one it is. The Yamaha? Or rather, one of the Yamahas? They use the same technology as passive radar arrays (in reverse, obviously) to "direct" the sound, by phase delaying each driver based on the input, and which channel it corresponds to. Maybe they all use that now, I don't know. Here is a bunch of reviews.

The trick is to tweak it, like turning FastFind and other background processes off and such.

Apple Tablet
Why would you bring up "need"? This has nothing to do with "need", this has to do with "want". Did they "need" higher resolution for the iPhone? No-one was complaining, and yet they still went higher. And not just a little bit higher, a lot bit higher. Did they "need" to do that? No, they did not. It's all about the bottom line, and there was no risk involved in that one. They found a way to cram higher res at similar cost, so it was more appealing to people like me ("greedy"), and not less appealing who would get thrown by the increased price.

Apple Tablet
(Emphasis mine -- Ed.) I agree with this. Even though I, myself, would prefer a 7" higher resolution iPad, I do realize that the large majority of the target market will prefer the larger screen, but I don't believe it will have the same pixel density as the current iPhone 4 aka the retina screen. He also said there would never ever be Flash on the iOS. I, for one, would not hold him to his word on that one (two...three...whatever...n+1...). You're welcome to try, but historically, his ability to anticipate what the market will bear borders on prescience, and he will change with the nimbleness of a cleat-footed ninja in a log-rolling contest, if it will generate revenue. EDIT: I'll even go one further -- the largest "risk" in my "prediction" is that he can't make a 10" retina display. If he can, then there won't be two, there will only be the one big ten inch. So, to reiterate, my prediction is that there will be two -- a "sport" (7", retina display, possibly iPhone 4 high res, maybe a little less), and an LX (10" display, incrementally higher res than first generation iPad, but not as high a jump as was the iPhone 3 to the iPhone 4). And this is only for the second gen. Beyond that, all bets are off.

Apple Tablet
It has to, if they incorporate the retina display, there's no way they can do a retina display that big. EDIT: You beat me to it. I was responding to your prior post, and grawk's response. EDIT #2: That said, a 7" screen with more real estate (should still be moar pixels) is very appealing to me.
