This is an absolute dealbreaker for me. I will not buy a DROID without tethering, which I need for day to day business (and I'm unwilling to buy another data plan to use with a USB cell modem). Too bad for me - I guess I'm getting a Blackberry Tour after all when I upgrade next week.
I also think Ellen's resurrection will be a flashback, but because it would make sense for storytelling, not because it requires any of the resurrection technology we've seen in the series so far. Remember, the final five predate the "modern" cylon race, which is about 50 years old, by at least 2,000 years. They must have their own infrastructure to survive that long.
Too late for a holiday film rental, but I promise to make good use of the VUDU if I win.
I agree with Dan that the employees were grossly mistreated. So were any customers who ordered merchandise and can't pick it up (according to a Boston Globe story today). Of course it's a reckless thing to hack a corporate website and I bet they'll sue the pants off the hackers if they can track them down....but then again, corporate malfeasance is reckless, too.
Looks like they've taken down the website entirely, but the Google cache still shows the hacked site minus the images (as of the time of this posting). http://tinyurl.com/68osen. Hope someone did a screen grab - I admit it's immature, but I can't say I blame them too much.
@JDS: True, streaming isn't the same as downloading, but I think most consumers think of it as basically the same except for the convenience of starting a streamed movie right away. Consumers will be annoyed when studios start lining up exclusive deals with competing services and their proprietary set-top boxes. Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't this HD-DVD and Blu-Ray all over again?
If content distributors think they will start a digital download revolution with competing, propietary boxes they're nuts. I'm very likely to sit it out until the industry figures out a workable hardware/software standard. You'd think they'd learn something from the high-def DVD format wars, but you'd think wrong.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"With all the new multitouch capable monitors coming out, which one is the best? With the release of Windows 7 I really want a touchscreen monitor for my desktop. I'm looking to get a Full HD monitor that supports multitouch and can still look great during gaming and movies. Which one has the best specs for the price?"
