I cannot get past losing my reliable UI. I was so unimpressed by Boxee on my ATV. I'm unsure this is worthwhile- I'll stick to my $100 WD Live Plus and keep it simple. Nice review- might want to specify the mini USB cable (link via monoprice.com)

I received both the LunaTik and TikTok. While initially after the higher model (LunaTik) I have to say, I'm more more impressed with the TikTok. The clunky bezel case, imho, takes too much away from the razor sharp lines of the watch.

I wear mine every now and again. Two things that prevent me from giving it a 5 star review, one pertains the the watch. First, the clock face needs to be activated by user by pressing the power/sleep button. Nice that it conserves batteries, but when I want to glance at the time quickly, I don't want to have to wait for the screen to display and also use my other hand to prompt it. Secondly the smell. The rubber is noticeable and it seems to be commented on the moment someone says, "THIS THING IS AWESOME". Like I said, two less than serious issues, but observations nonetheless.

I was in the same boat when trying to use iTunes on PC. Once I switched to all Mac hardware I never looked back. I think a lot of the frustration comes from that and the fact that the Mac apps are just not meant for PC systems.

Also, there is a huge reseller market for Apple/Mac boxes on Craigslist.

I am very eager to see the results as I have been tossing and turning over a new bed purchase for about a year now. Focus began on the sleep number, but something about electronics/mechanics in my mattress deterred me.

Either way, and I sincerely HOPE this is addressed, it's not so much the initial comfort I'm concerned with, but rather the long term change in the mattress integrity. I currently have a $800 pillow-top mattress from a leading brand, and after just 3 years, it's shot. I've been told it can be exchanged under warranty but I simply could do without the hassle.

I'm curious to know, once the results are posted, if users with experience using the bed for a period longer than a year, could chime in on the change, if any, that has occurred over the period of ownership.

Clever, but two things to note; 1) everyone does Tetris in stop animation type projects, 2) why not with lights off?

I guess I don't see the significance to this space. The house doesn't look prepped for a photoshoot, that's for sure. Looks like it's being lived in. Real I guess...

I've seen an Eames Lounge reupholstered in with floral print and it was NOT at all easy on the eye. Just my $.02.

For those of you running Leopard and are attempting install, don't get discouraged if you cannot install through the disk image. Simply open the image and drag the *.saver file into the screen saver folder under library/screensaver/ and open system pref back up and it should be there.

Mixed emotions. Many models are ungodly slow and lock up so if you made a mistake with putting something in that shouldn't be... you are pretty much SOL. I seemed to experience about 4 hour wash/dry time. Nice not to have to swap loads for drying but nontheless, I'd rather lose a bit more space and have a stackable unit as we do now from ASKO.

I am sure the designers thought of this but I do not believe the MacBook Pro will run while the monitor is closed. This is due to the fact the air vent for cooling is at the base of the monitor and only has proper ventilation when it's opened. I attempted this after I bought my cinema display from Apple and paired it with my MacBook Pro and had no luck. I later spoke to an Apple rep who verified indeed it would not work closed even if it's paired with an external monitor and peripherals. The notebook shown in these images is the older iBook so maybe things were a bit different.

Please note that I came from a Sony Vaio Z1VAP2 which had a dock and I also ran an external monitor which worked fine but the vents were on the bottom and size and the dock allowed for the notebook to be elevated from the desk it was set on.
