I am running close to 20 degrees warmer now!
Yes, I noticed an immediate temp rise too - 5c or thereabouts and now the fan is running with only safari open.
Maybe I shouldn't have done it.:o

Weird that he didn't try to shake her off. Mythbusters showed that it's impossible to hold on to a car beyond a certain turning force.
Ok, see that is where I was going with posting this article. I was wondering if it were even possible to hold on to a windshield wiper blade for that length of time? I mean, wouldn't pressure or force or something cause the blade to snap? They just don't seem that strong.

Good point about the 21.5" teardown, but in fact I would say that I anticipate the 27" teardown photos.
Good point? I would say it was more like a fundamental point. Anything said before actually seeing the insides of a 27" model is pointless speculation, including me speculating there are 2 controllers/new controller design.

Thanks for so clearly demonstrating what I pointed out in another thread:
America is not a bunch of people, it's not a defined by geography. What makes America, America, is a set of ideals, philosophies based around individual liberty and small limited government. Glocke is likely right that some day America as we know it will be gone, over run by people's constant desire to have other people provide for them and for the misguided efforts of those who consider themselves as protectors of the weak. The very people mentioned in my signature.
At what point will you realize that you live in the world of ideology and the vast majority of others live in the real world?

It will probably work the way Amazon's new service does. Only the music you purchase moving forward can be synced in the cloud.
Uhh...that is not how Amazon's service works at all. Amazon syncs your entire library. It's only that new Amazon purchases don't count towards used space. Only syncing new purchases would be worthless.

Either that - or they are really good at driving to be so close without hitting the brakes (ie no brake lights are on in the photo) :rolleyes:
You'd be amazed at how quickly you can slow down without touching the brakes with manual transmissions (which is what most european cars are equipped with). I almost never touch the brakes when stuck in traffic in my car

From my experience with CF it is a very strong and light-weight material but I doubt it would be a good idea to replace something like the glass backside of the iphone with carbon fiber as it is prone to damage when pressure is applied to a very limited area (think of iphone + keys in your pocket)
For example cf-bikes are great until you have anything but a minor crash...the even the smallest crack can be devestating to the structural integrity...

Not true. Soybean based biodiesel is made by pressing the beans to retrieve the oil. The soy bean pulp is a "byproduct" of soy biodiesel production. Conversely, the bean oil is a "byproduct" of soybean based foods. Hence, the two are quite complementary, and not at all exclusive.
I still wonder how much land would have to be devoted to soybeans to begin to produce enough biodiesel from it. Still, I don't doubt that biodiesel is going to be an important source of fuel going forward. But availability is always going to be much more limited than petro-fuels.
And yes, corn ethanol was a bad idea. George W. Bush liked it, that should be a warning sign right there.
Now this I agree with you on! Both my wife and I walk to work. We live in an urban area and both our offices are less than 1 mile from our home. Sadly though, many US cities are full of urban sprawl, and people who willingly live long distances from work and sit in long traffic lines twice each day.
I walk to work myself, I am about 1.3 miles from the office. I made sacrifices to relocate close to work, but I'd rather walk half an hour each way than drive. I still use my car often, but a walking commute, even for such a short distance, saves a surprising amount of fuel.

Is there any benefit of HDMI if you won't be using the HD-DVD's, and you only have a 720P TV?
It's relative and depends on the device. Generally, HDMI is clearer and provides a sharper picture.
When using component on my Oppo DVD player and PS3, I have "jaggies" on both menus and content. When using HDMI on both, the "jaggies" virtually disapppear and there is less ghosting during fast action.
Are you going to be able to tell the difference several feet away from TV? Depends on your eyesight.
It also depends on how your television handles (internal processing) HDMI and component. On my 32" Samsung, there is noticeable difference between the processing of HDMI sources and component sources. HDMI wins hands down.
You know there's a difference when non-techy members of your family ask "Why does the [movie, game, menu] look different?"

It's a rather big of, though. Sure there seemed to be a lot of reports early on... but the system has been out for over a year now, and the hardware being sold now isn't the same as it was at launch.
Personally, I haven't heard much about system failures beyond the launch systems. It's unlikely more of launch systems failed then didn't. I have a launch system myself, and the majority of 360 owners have not had problems.
I would disagree, nearly half of the people in my friends list have been through at least 2 boxes, some as many as 4 and 5.
A lot of them I met online, and so it is mixed throughout the country. These things have issues.
Besides it is frickin loud and hot. The drive is loud and screws up discs randomly. There have been quite a few red ring of death posts and articles around the net even within the last few months. The problems are still there.

The laptop would have wireless in it. Why not make simple wireless connectivity to have a constant connection with the keyboard when detached?
If you are going to use BT for the keyboard, why don't you just make all these peripherials BT? :rolleyes:
A BT mixer. A BT tactile volume control. It would be impossible to have this and keep a portable semi-rugged laptop that isn't the size of a tank. Yet, its useless. You might as well do the same thing with BT instead of wasting all that money on an interface that is clunky.
Definitely NOT smart.
Think about it a BT espresso machine.

Yeah, I didn't expect that we'd be able to all sit down there. But I don't remember there being many 'uncrowded' places in years past... so I guess we'll be stuck standing and mingling.
They aren't that way all the time. The Moscone is distinctly lacking in other options.

WIKI:
Elemental magnesium is a fairly strong, silvery-white, light-weight metal (two thirds the density of aluminium). It slightly tarnishes when exposed to air, although unlike the alkaline metals, storage in an oxygen free environment is unnecessary. Like its lower periodic table group neighbor calcium, magnesium reacts with water at room temperature, though it reacts much more slowly than calcium. When it is submerged in water hydrogen bubbles will almost unnoticably begin to form on the surface of the metal, though if powdered it will react much more rapidly. The reaction will occur faster with higher temperatures (see precautions). Magnesium is a highly flammable metal, but while it is easy to ignite when powdered or shaved into thin strips, it is difficult to ignite in mass or bulk. Once ignited it is difficult to extinguish, being able to burn in both nitrogen (forming magnesium nitride), and carbon dioxide (forming magnesium oxide and carbon).
Magnesium, when it burns in air, produces a brilliant white light. This was used in the early days of photography when magnesium powder was used as a source of illumination (flash powder). Later, magnesium ribbon was used in electrically ignited flash bulbs. Magnesium powder is still used in the manufacture of fireworks and marine flares where a brilliant white light is required.
Magnesium, when glowing white, has many chemical properties that it does not possess at lower temperatures. It also becomes more toxic, although this is irrelevant because the high temperature alone is extremely dangerous.
Magnesium compounds are typically white crystals. Most are soluble in water, providing the sour-tasting magnesion ion Mg2+. Small amounts of dissolved magnesium ion contributes to the tartness and taste of natural waters. Magnesium ion in large amounts is an ionic laxitive, and magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts) is sometimes used for this purpose. So-called "milk of magnesia" is a water suspension of one of the few insoluble magnesium compounds, magnesium hydroxide; the undissolved particles give rise to its appearance and name. Milk of magnesia is a mild base, and is commonly used as an antacid.

yeah i would double check. you never know. are you running the console client? or the system tray one?
I'm running the console for both gpu and cpu and I just checked again and everything seems in order. whiterabbit and 3446 for both clients.

Is this a limited run as we had heard before?
If so won't that hurt their sales of the lower two units as people would now see them as the "tard pack." Consumers will wait for Microsoft to release the HDMI version at the $399 price point and at the same time MS would be waiting for consumers to clear out inventory of the mid range so they could intro the new model at a lower price.
And please don't try to argue that consumers wouldn't see the $399 as the "tard pack." Regardless of the fact that it functions just as well, people would realize that for $80 more they could have the HDMI and 120 GB HD, thus rendering the $399 model a poor choice. Even removing HDMI from the picture, they would get the $179 120 GB HD for an upgrade price of $80.
Of course once you get to the point of buying the elite for $479, any consumer sitting on the fence between PS3 and 360 has to really weigh the options. Assuming they wanted wireless, which isn't a stretch of the imagination, there's only a $20 difference between the two. The upside of the 360 is the game library, the upside of the PS3 is BluRay. It just doesn't bode well for MS to make it easier for the consumer to pick the PS3 over the 360.
P.S. Before someone says I'm a PS3 fanboy here is my current next gen setup: 360 premium, wireless, HD-DVD drive.
