Jul 24th 2008 12:05AM I think early 2009. Full 22 episode season.
Western Digital intros 2.5-inch 10,000RPM VelociRaptor HDD {Engadget}
Jul 23rd 2008 10:55PM I don't think so. A lot of these drives use the enterprise SAS connector that won't fit without some artful cutting. Even then, I think the power requirement is too much for a standard laptop.
Verizon posts official FiOS HD channel rollout dates {Engadget HD}
Jul 23rd 2008 12:10PM I just want USA and FX in HD. I mean WTF. They have a USA-HD channel on the guide but it just says "Coming Soon" and its just a black screen. They are lucky I have nothing to watch on FX until the regular season of Rescue Me starts, because I will drop FiOS in a heartbeat to get FX in HD if they don't have it by then.
But I have shows that I want to watch in HD on USA and I have to resort to illegal piracy to get them in HD.
Earnings call takeaway: New products in September {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 23rd 2008 11:23AM New Macbook Pro, probably with a slightly redesigned case that is tapered but still around 1" thick. Will most likely include the new Centrino 2 platform with the exception of the video card and the removal of WiMax. LED backlit 1680x1050 & 1920x1200 displays.
The new mac cinema displays will probably be a minimum of 1920x1200 and be LED backlit. I wouldn't go as far as OLED. OLED is too expensive, even for Apple. As far as connectors, maybe HDMI and/or DisplayPort.
A new Mac Mini would be great - but I don't think they are going to do anything spectacular with it. Same old mac mini with a basic hardware refresh to Centrino 2 sans WiMax.

Philadelphia News Anchor Hacks Co-Anchor's E-mail {Switched.com}
Jul 22nd 2008 1:37PM I'm a Philly person and I can tell you that Larry Mendte had a "thing" with Alycia Lane. Scuttlebutt was that she couldn't keep her legs closed and Mendte become extremely jealous and started stalking her.
I also heard a conflicting rumor that said it had nothing to do with sex and that he was afraid that she was trying to get replaced as lead anchor.
Hollywood can already control what you record on your DVR {Engadget HD}
Jul 22nd 2008 1:17PM The only problem with the FC petitions is for every one well-worded comment that actually showed cause and clear intent on the benefits of component over HDMI and that lifting the ban would endanger consumers fair-use you get 100,000: "DUDEZ, DNT' DO ITTT!@!@!@!!!!! ZOMG THEY R EVIL!!!! AnD TEH SUXXORS. WE HEART CMPNENT CABLZES."
That right there dilutes the efficacy of the good comments. The whole point is, that, no company or 3rd party shall dictate or control what we do in our own homes unless it causes harm or limits the rights of others.
As piracy is a real concern, they should refrain from taking retaliatory action and remove the reasons for piracy. Trying to limit our rights even more for sheer profitability will just beget piracy.
