@orev Yeah, mine was with the Bing Cashback too. Tax hurt the deal for me since I am in MA at 6.5%, but the bing.com cashback helped. I think it ended up being actually around 244 including the bing cashback.

Are you using the latest netbook installer? I have found things improved in RC4+ but the trackpad is still bad. I feel like it was even worse in the brief time I used it with XP.

I picked up a dell 10v for about ~250 including tax/shipping and the 6-cell battery on black friday. I installed snow leopard and its great.

The only disappointing part of it is the trackpad. Probably the worst one I have ever used. It looks like its the same one on these new models.

Not much near here to make me regret my discounted purchase.

This has changed the way i watch football. I only wish it was in HD.

I had a A-110 for about 2 months. The UI was horrible. Horrible. Yes, it played everything, but the whole thing was a huge pain with setting up YAMJ and all that stuff. Not to mention that javascript performance was horrible so all the coverflow themes and stuff were pathetic. I am hoping they re-did the UI.

And to anyone that claims getting an ion mobo and an atom is better than this, I disagree. Sure the UI is bad, but this this can bitstream TrueHD and DTS-HD. I would like to see you do that with XBMC.

I used to work for Ruckus back in 04. They had a development office in Boston. A very talented group of people and at least in the beginning it was a great place to work. They closed their boston office in in late 05/early 06 (can't remember), and kept their business operations open in VA.

Originally it was kind of a cool concept. You install edge severs at universities, making downloads of the most popular tracks basically instant without using any of the universities internet bandwidth. But it never really caught on and it just wasn't profitable enough to keep that going. They tried the ad supported model (which could easily be removed by modifying the application's GUI xml) and I am surprised it lasted this long.

I have a lot of great memories working there, and its a little sad to see it go. Best of luck to any of the original employees that were still there.

Unless you just bought a new cat with the 250+ ipod connection and it can't charge your iphone. Been reading that a lot of car connections use the firewire charging.

As a CS major at a tech school, over the last 4 years I have seen a extremely large increase in the number of programmers running macs. Even the professors are switching. Its a pretty dramatic change.

And in response to it being mac only. It looks like its heavily integrated with xcode. If they are being honest about releasing the tools that they use to make apps, then its pretty obvious as to why it runs on macs. I don't think a windows SDK is out of the question, its just not something they could have thrown together at this time.

A Timex with "An Authentic Chinese Movement"

Mirko: Are you sure?. The article makes it sound like they wont even support 64-bit systems on launch either.

Read these quotes: "Microsoft revealed today that it will not support EFI booting for Windows Vista on its launch." "Andrew Ritz, also revealed that there will never be any support for booting Windows via EFI on systems with 32-bit processors."

"Although Microsoft has previously said EFI booting would be supported by Vista, Ritz admitted that EFI support won't be seen in any version of Windows until the release of Longhorn Server."

So Vista wont see EFI support until longhorn server. Its not even clear if they will any support for EFI in the consumer products.
