Interesting concept, but their website (http://www.eneco.com/) scares me away in a hurry. What was that about making a good first impression?

What is wrong with it? The only thing I see is that they are presenting the Peltier Effect as if it was something they discovered and not already in common use. These chips have been produced on an industrial scale for many years. They don't say this.

Here is another company who has a real product to for sale http://www.melcor.com/ Here is one more - http://www.customthermoelectric.com/ It's a mature technology These guys at eneco seem to be selling a concept and have no product.

But who are they trying to fool? Anyone in a position to buy from eneco would have engineers on staff who certainly would already understand thermoelectrics

How beautiful would that be for Time Machine, particularly in a laptop?

Wow, hadn't even thought about that... That would be so nice. :o

What you need to keep in mind is that trademarks are not universal. They are trying to trademark usage of the word "Pod" within the arena of digital music players only:

A very fair point. But even within that (relatively) limited domain, I believe attempting to trademark a 'generic' word (i.e. not an artificial label/title), especially one which was already in common usage in many other companies products is farcical :- to me at least.

To look at a parallel, I think Sony should have fought harder to protect their Walkman moniker, but shouldn't under any circumstances have been given the trademarks "Walk" or "Man". If companies want to protect their trademarks - fine, then they shouldn't choose generic, everyday words. IMO.

Hi...

I've been using a Power Mac G5 for Logic, but need to upgrade to use my UAD-2 card and Logic Studio 9... the question is what is the best machine within reason to go for? A slower dual processor 8 core system of faster single core quad or six core?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Many thanks...

If it's a new 15.4" MacBook, there's a good chance it'll have dedicated graphics, otherwise what's the point? Apple certainly need more Macs with dedicated graphics in their consumer-priced range. Here's hoping!
It's not going to happen. It would steal sales away from the MacBook Pro, and the cost would be minimal between the two.

This just goes to show that Apple is in reality no better than Wal-Mart (who may be trying to thwart iTV) and Microsoft (criticized for monopolistic practices).

I wish Apple Corps (The Beatles) would sue Apple computer's pants off for infringing on their name.

Nick Justice sounds like Nick Fury's cousin! :D

This brings "There's an app for that" to a whole new level... Go Army!:cool:

Except that he cannot spell 'here'.The hallucinations are obviously auditory.

It seems that a lot of people are buying Killing In The Name by Rage Against The Machine in hope it will knock XFactor's Joe MacElderry's song from the UK's Christmas number one.

Having never liked the XFactor or the songs Simon "Smug" Cowell has produced from the show, I am supporting RATM for christmas number one. I don't even like Killing In The Name that much, I am just one of the many people fed up of the XFactor and Simon Cowell dominating the UK's pop music industry with conveyer belt rubbish.

What are your guy's views on this?

United is the ONLY airline that does this.

I wish they all did. Its a great way to enjoy the flight.

As for the ipod plugins, its great the only downside I see is it forces Apple into a single connector / body shape for future ipods. It would suck to release a new ipod that isn't useable on your next flight.

I'd like to see Apple go back to silver or white keyboards. I couldn't care less about key lighting but don't really like the black keys. Other than that, a gradual increase in speed and features without sacrificing the cool-running aspect of the computer is all I hope for.

I like the new version. But can i recommend that you do what the weather widget does, where you click on it and it gives you a small version and then a more informed version.

EDIT: sorry my ignorance you can. Now i can fully give this widget two thumbs up.

Not all lives are "equal".

In australia 1.50 per Litre for 95

My wife just picked up a 16gb model at our local VZ store. They still have some in stock. And, no sales tax....woohoo!!! I love getting Apple products at 40% off!

In Trinidad (Caribbean)

1.77 US$ for a gallon at 92 octane
and
2.36 US$ for a gallon at 95 octane

0.89 US$ for a gallon of diesel

No PowerPC version? Ouch. Lets hope that's not a growing trend for all you golden oldies out there :p

Yeah, I knew this was inevitable. (I'm running a 1.25 GHz G4 iMac.) That being said, for the applications I use (and this won't be one of them), I honestly don't see myself being forced to buy an Intel machine for a loooong time. Just because Adobe has decided to rpoceed in this manner doesn't mean other companies will follow suit. And you can bet that Apple definitely won't, at least not for a few more years. Heck, Classic was supported until what, last year essentially? And the G3 machines up until Leopard? ;) :cool:

$3.86

Anything beats the embarrassment that Apple has in the current iOS.

how do you mean, specifically? neither me, my gf, or my dad have ever had an opportunity to bemoan this functionality. how does it impair our ability or cause us embarrassment?

Canada, you're screwed. :(
Oh please. If the NDP had got in then Canada would be royally screwed. The NDP has a poor record in a number of provinces of running the provincial governments into deep deficits and scaring away businesses.

I would take the opinion piece from someone with the Toronto Star with a little bit of salt. They are like the Huffington Post of Canada or a left leaning Canadian version of those British tabloids that they try to pass for "newspapers" in England.

Mail is not using squirrelmail !! HORRAY. They switched to roundcube. (http://roundcube.net/) Also they are using the latest version of roundcube (0.5.1) which was released 2-9-2011.



I posed some screen shots of the new device management remote lock and wipe features here.

In the backend there is a lot of ruby running the wiki (teamsserver and the webauthserver)
There is also built in postgres running the services, but no obvious way to manage it from the GUI.
MySQL is not installed.

A lot of services are missing from server admin, some have dumbed down features in the server.app (which replaces server preferences) but a lot is missing.


Web is missing from server admin, so I find no obvious way to change thing like Folder Listings, or Proxy or Aliases.

I can't find any way to make an NFS or FTP share.

Print server is missing.

QuickTime Streaming service is missing. (although I've never used that)

VPN settings are only in server.app, so there is no way to provide different DNS Servers or Search Domains or Network Routing to your VPN clients.
It also looks like it sets up as L2TP over IPSec Auth and there is no way to change it or see the number of connections like you can in server admin.

5 years ago Apple was pushing open standards with no licensing require (ie, zeroconf) and no one would buy in. Now they offer a standard with a fraction of the capability and charge for it and everyone wants it.

People are stupid.

A business can not choose it's customers, a business takes all the custom it can get to make a profit and pay it's employees...

A business that pick and chooses it's cutomers based upon the customers personality traits would soon go out of business.

I wonder why I often see signs like this in stores ...
