The article could just say "Drop the price" and it'd sell. Make it the same price as the DS Lite with a good sized memory card and I'll get one, or just do away with Memory Pro Stick Duo (or whatever) and use SD cards.
There's just some invisible line, consumers don't like paying more than a certain amount for an item. Handhelds the price seems to be �130+, consoles it's �300+
PSP & SoTN for �100 and I'd be a very happy bunny. I'd even buy Monster Hunter 2 and VCS if they were priced (in VCS case) alongside their PS2 counterparts.
The price thing is probably not credible in the short term, but would clearly be A Very Good Thing. Sony aren't going to let go of the MagicGate DRM for a start.
The biggest hurdle for the PSP I think is the early marketing which emphasised it as an all-round entertainment centre, something which is in theory brilliant until you note the pretty lousy battery life. If it could last 10 hours or more then it'd be an absolute smash hit, or if it could easily take a commonly sized disposable battery.
As it stands, I find that it's a device that a lot of people buy, really like, but for whatever reason don't use as much as they thought. Battery life is one reason of course - that it would crap out less than half way though a mid-Atlantic flight is preposterous, frankly - but another is that it really isn't that portable. It doesn't easily fit in a pocket without clearly making a lump, and it requires two hands at all times, making it difficult to use standing on a bus/train. Furthermore, the screen isn't usable in direct sunlight.
I'd say the PSP is a really good device for use around the house and those who frequently stay away from home with access to powerpoints, but it isn't good for commuters purely because of the screen issue, a key key problem for such a thing. Those, sadly, are the PSP's fatal flaws.
It has so much potential, it really is a powerhouse device that can do so so much - dare I say that it's one of the most impressive devices for its price out there? It's just a few major flaws which let it down so much.
For the record, I own one and find that whenever I use it I love it, but it isn't as often as it should be for a device of this price. Using it as a commuter in on the bus in the summer wasn't credible due to sunlight.

I like it.
Plus, it gives them the ability to be much stricter in dealing with repeat offenders - the "we gave you a course in this, you obviously failed, you're done here."

So I got my Airport Extreme recently and today I tried to connect to Xbox live and it was still on my old wireless network, so I tried to change the settings to the new Airport network, but the xbox wont see it!
It sees a lot of other networks just not mine, and I am able to connect to the internet just fine on my imac and macbook.
Any suggestions?

Any downgrading from the current most recent version of iOS will require the use of a SHSH blob for your specific device. Use TinyUmbrella. http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com/

Good stuff... I just talked to a friend who works at this store and he said they've got more than enough iPads to satisfy just about everybody. I'm hoping the line isn't TOO long when I get there @ 3...

The real problem is that just because they say something it doesn't actually mean they do it... Not with some "variations" in most cases... And there's a lot of room for variations in this case...

I'm not sure either, I think perhaps Leo wanted some new or different people on the show, I'm not sure. It's still a good show though.
Alex and Andy have been on as long as I can remember. But yeah, there doesn't seem to be that many people on the show now. I actually like Merlin, he is pretty funny. I also like it when they have the guys from Big Ranch and Mac World Magazine on. Those conversations get interesting very fast.

Thanks for the reply!
He only has the 256M in the iBook... but it's worked fine for him before. It might have slowed down before when he had a bunch of things running, but never did programs crash and the computer reboot on its own. He doesn't do much with it... firefox- mail- ichat- word- itunes- iphoto. That's about all he runs. But starting last week.. the system went from running fine for him.. to being unstable.. it seems that "something" happened. I was thinking that the prebinding not being able to complete might be a clue to what that "something" was.
He has no external devices other than his digital camera..
I haven't tried anything with different users- I'll try that next.
I might end up having to do an archive and install.. but I was hoping to find and fix the problem. I'm sure I'll be plesantly surprized with how easy the archive and install goes.. (will I need to archive to an external drive?) I was hoping to use this opertunity to learn more about fixing OSX!

Try running "Activity Monitor" to see what is running on the computer. Let us now what you see.

Mine is a little off centered, too...a gap at the bottom of the home button. It works just fine and is barely noticeable, so I'm not worrying about it. Now, if it were loose or hard to push, then I'd worry.
Both my iPad 1 and iPad 2 have minimal light bleed, which I have to be in a pitch black room on 100% brightness to see.

In 2012 I guess. iLife '11 has been released in 2010 and the version before that in 2009. Apple seems to have an 18 months cycle with iLife.

yet it needs to be said that the radioactive fallout from 1986 still has an health impact: in austria and germany health organizations still advise pregnant women and children to keep consumption of hunted game animals and eatable funghi within certain limits
especially with bigger game animals the meat can exceed legal limits

Hello everyone.
Firstly I'd just like to thank everyone who commented in my refurbished macbook air thread, the responses were valuable and I am only waiting to see if the price drops on refurbs if there is a refresh. This question is from a friend of mine with an ultimate 13 inch, and he was wondering if its possible to underclock the 2.13 ghz processor down to 2 flat. He said its getting hot while using video editing programs. Is this possible?

Jeez, you can remove Launchpad from the dock, so chill.
Not one single pro feature has been removed from Lion. Not one. In fact some have been added.

Yes there is, and this is how.
1) Add layer in Photoshop
2) Drop a black paint bucket
3) Merge Down
4) Save as..
