WiMAX is here today, and Clearwire and Sprint certainly see it working well... sorry some Australian carrier couldn't cut it. LTE is still pie in the sky... and Sprint is poised to have a two year head start on 4G.

I for one am not waiting for LTE. I'm going to have a lot of 4G fun starting next month.

MegaZone, as I responded more in-depth on the link, I think it�s quite clear most were unaware of these limitations. I�m sure the TiVo-addict crowd is, this post was mostly aimed at the typical DVR user. So, when you say �everyone would know most of this�, I think you mean, �every TiVo zealot already knows most of this�. And you�re probably right� but most typical people don�t.

Also, as I outlined above, Comcast did copy-protect local channels with 5C encryption previously� in select markets. I had calls into the FCC, the 1394 TA, and Comcast technical directors. It still took almost 90 days to fix that (and I got involved nearly six months after Comcast started breaking the law with that mess). This was part of Comcast�s campaign to deter DVR makers from adding FireWire as a capture option� and it sure did work. Please, don�t call it FUD when Comcast blatantly breaks the law.

Just to clarify a few things:

1) Doing a custom install will still leave you with about 825 MB of language files. Apple forces them onto your hard drive even if you uncheck all the language options.

2) 2 GB might seem trivial and not detrimental to available disk space... add iLife, iWork, and third-party applications, and I've seen 10 GB. That means 1 in every 6 MB of a Mac mini hard drive is being eaten up by language files. It's much worse on older systems.
