Hey...that kind of has a similar design, lets sue and get free media attention.
I hate watching ignorant people talking to each other about subjects they have no knowledge about.

1) Paradigm only allows online sales for there overstocked and lowly cinema series package.

2) Who would spend big cash on something they can't audition first. This is even more an issue for speaker sales as speaker taste are highly subjective.

3) Micheal go get a mp3 player...I'm sure thats the only form your music is in anyway.
What a load of crap...I have OS X installed on a Dell Mini 9 and have no flash problems.
Preface - I am a diehard pc user.

Every pc manufacturer needs to take notice of the new iMac line. The new 27" w/ its massive resolution, optional quad core processor, multi-touch mouse, great esthetics, and more starting at $1699. I am hoping that Windows 7 will motivate pc makers to create better machines. If I could have one request it that they hire real designers, I am tired of ugly machines.
Hey,

Just read your earlier post here. Sounds like your having the same problem I did. When you leave the pen on the surface to draw it opens the brush menu in Photoshop.

Follow these steps to fix:

Go in to the Control Panel...Open Hardware/Sound...Open Pen/Touch...Under Pen Options Tab...3rd option down is "Press and Hold" Double Click...At the Top Un-check "Enable press for right-click".

You should now be able to draw without problems. If you need to open a sub-menu just use the button on the side of the pen.
Sounds like a Mac problem. I have two screens one 22" 1680x1050 and an HP lp2475w 24" 1920x1080. Works great with mirrored display setting or extended display setting. You can also tell the Wacom software to only use one screen, this helps when drawing.

I think you had to get use to the hover pen setting. This lets you hold the pen about 1/4 inch or less above the tablet and still control the movement of the cursor. If you don't understand that setting then you could have the stated effect. This setting comes in handy for drawing so you can lift the pen off the tablet but still see the cursors placement.

This is a great product. Great packaging and usability. Some tweaking of settings are needed in Windows 7, as the OS has its own settings that interfere with Wacom settings. While it doesn't have the pressure levels of an Intros...you can still adjust line strength in Illustrator or Photoshop. Overall 9 out of 10.
Hey ScaryFast,

I don't know what problems you speak of w/ CS4 + Windows 7. I have CS4 Master Collection installed on Win 7 RC (build 7600) x64 and really only have issues w/ Encore. Photoshop works flawlessly here.

I also have a Bamboo Pen & Touch. I had no problems here installing it or getting it to work. Only issue I had is overlapping settings w/ Win 7 and Wacom. I had to turn off the Windows "hold down for sub-menu" setting so I could draw properly.

What do you mean by "regular pc"? XP or Vista...
We should all buy a tesla roadster!
I don't think that the price comparison to a standalone bluray player has any merit. A gpu can do much more than just playback a bluray.
Just to give other options you could also opt. for a more "PRO" option like a M4400 sporting a Quadro FX 770m and an optional RGB led screen. While the RGB led screen could drive the price up to around $1999 I think it would be money well spent. If you still not happy with that price you could just opt for the CCFL 1920x1080 screen.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
