What's broken for me so far:

- X11 forwarding over ssh doesn't work, which means I can't host remote X11 apps anymore. I'd be rolling back to 10.5 over this along if I didn't still have a G5 tower that's obviously never going to take the upgrade.
- Vine Server is "wonky" when controlling the Mac from a remote VNC session. Most notably, keyboard input stops working when I use Spaces to switch desktops, until I hit a ket on the Mac, then it comes back. Also, when I do the Ctrl-arrow key sequence to switch Spaces, the visual overlay doesn't go away until I click on a window's titlebar (and then, as said before, key input doesn't work until I hit a local key).
I'm already eating crow for buying a BDP-S350 for $260 a month ago - amazon's now selling them for $224. Live and learn...
Joseph: you'll probably be waiting quite a while then - given Apple's increased emphasis on HD video sales via iTunes, I don't expect them to have an interest in helping the competition - especially when licensing requires pervasive DRM support at the OS, device driver, and even hardware level (for example, requiring that HD data be encrypted *on the internal PCI bus* to deter theoretical bus-level video capture hacks).
Actually, you can only cancel over the SMS price increase if you don't have a SMS package on your account, as it's only the price of SMS outside of plans that is going up.
First, you'd have to unlock it, which hasn't been done yet. Second, T-Mobile's 3G service won't work on the iPhone 3G due to the difference in frequency bands between T-Mo's and AT&T's systems. EDGE will still work on T-Mobile, however.

So unless the GPS is an absolute necessity, you're better off buying a used Rev 1 iPhone and unlocking that.
Actually, this is huge if you want to use your iPhone outside the US without paying AT&T's roaming fees by buying a prepaid SIM from a local carrier. I do this every time I go abroad.
"Twilight Zone-style"? This plotline comes *directly* from "Button, Button", an episode from the 1986 version of the series.
Going off on a tangent, anyone here ever have a TV with an ultrasonic "clicker" remote?
I solved that problem by not throwing away my old Linksys when I bought the Airport Extreme.

"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
