drobo rocks! i cant fix the economy though
well i havent seen batman begins yet - waiting to watch it on my new vudu in 1080p glory - so i lied hasnt everyone seen batman begins! i will see it again! happy new year
yeah i think the biggest thing for me is the wait - i know this is a first step but it honestly shouldnt be - apple has been trying to land these studios for 2-3 years already if not more. it just bizzare that you have to wait 30 days for this content and they didnt even say anything about purchasing. i know some people would rather rent but i like to purchase and own my content - i just really cant get past the wait 30 days part until after dvd release - people are buying on day one - i am not really concerned with 1080p not avail we are just cracking into 1080p on dvd players - 720p is fine for me. this could actually work but why the stipulations - why is it that amazon netflix and others can drive downloadable content upon movie release. the studios and the walmarts are affraid that apple will eat into there market share and rightly so - but look if the service is better then so be it. as for netflix i have never seen the benefit - waiting for a movie to come in the mail and then having to send it back is just not something that makes sense in this day and age where life moves so quickley - itunes was and is so succesful because of its content and delivery mechanism - if the studios and the walmarts who are padding the studios bank accounts would back down and allow apple to do this right they would start climbing the ladder and pushing past these big dvd sale houses just as they are doing with music. this current model will not work in my opinion - and we are too far along, the technology for delvery is available, broadband is widespread so its just the studios and the retailers who are blocking the consumer at this point.
looks like apple really had to take it in the end trying to finally get all the major studios on board. a couple things that surprise me about this is that jobs gave in - maybe he did so to build some leverage being that movies arent really taking off. but the fact that you cant rent a movie until it has been out for 30 days is just plain retarded. why would i want to wait to see a movie that has likely been being advertised for a month and then 30 days after release. sounds like walmart is affraid itunes might dip into there pockets. but why can netflix and others release on the day of release. also what about purchasing - not everyone want to rent. they mentioned nothing about that. all in all a cool idea that may not take off given the limitations.
i am in nj and still have the old crappy guide
awesome psp
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
