If my memory serves me correctly, the name comes from Harald Bluetooth, who was responsible for uniting Denmark and Norway, which has some historical significance as to where Bluetooth was invented. The logo is a merge between the runes for letters H & B.

They could use Leno for Jezza, Seinfeld for Hammond, and and Christopher Walken for James May.

Walken would be the ultimate Mr. Slow.

It's a shame because the only Volvos I am interested in right now are the smaller ones. I think the C30, S40 and V50 are perfect, a good replacement for my 5th gen. Accord. Many of my friends who have the S40 or V50 love their cars, and I am particularly fond of their design. The newer Volvos have much more emphasis on luxury than I particularly care for, I just want something simple, Scandinavian, and affordable.

That's a pretty harsh generalization.

I'm 21 years old and I the last LP I purchased cost me $64. It was a hardbound, 200-page book with 180g vinyl in the rear, Mt. Eerie, Pts 6&7. (so if you want to talk "liner notes") I hate to quantify things, but I’ve got about 400 LPs altogether, with just as many CDs and a few tapes here and there. I go to shows regularly, I average 2-3 per month while I am still in college. None of the artists I am currently interested in are a part of a major label.

I think what many people ignore is the fact that the record industry has adopted a disposable approach to music. Sure, you can get your favorite song on iTMS, Zune, Connect, Rhapsody, VCAST and a whole slew of other digital content services, but for how long will you really want to listen to that song? Many of the people who download, whether it be legally, or illegally are not interested in listening to their music for years to come.

For me, purchasing the physical album, going to a show or meeting the artist in person is comparable to eating filet minion. It is something I sit down, savor and enjoy. Afterward, I’ll think back and say, “wow, that was really good.” Conversely, downloading music is the drive-thru at McDonalds, fast, easy, convenient and in a few hours I regret my decision.

I am not alone in this sentiment, and it is unfortunate that the major labels have failed to attract other listeners like myself by producing artists who are enduring. On the upside, their failure has provided many independent artists and labels with success and a dedicated listener base.

It's a shame that they took away the Student Discount, I really cannot afford to upgrade my Powerbook and G5 at this point. (Actually, I can't justify spending $199 to buy the family pack, as I won't be needing three of the licenses)

Truthfully, one of the most attractive aspects of buying from from Apple has been the Education Discount.

Oh well, you'll have to wait awhile to get my green, Steve.

Did you test drive the Accord before you bought it? If these problems were as significant as you make them out to be, one would think that they would be fairly obvious during a test drive.

This is the Honda I have been waiting for. The truth is, I really want to buy another Honda but they're all so boring (including the one I own). The only two Hondas that have impressed me in the past five years are the Euro Civic, and the CR-Z. One doesn't cross the pond, and the other one isn't in production. Ugh. Go figure.

And to think that Microsoft put out such a killer bundle last gen with the Green Halo LE Bundle.

That bundle suckered me into Xbox last generation, but this one does absolutely nothing for me. No added value here, folks. What were they thinking?

Possibly for Apple TV integration down the road? Steve said they had some plans for the Apple TV in the near future.

I agree though, they really should have a full bluetooth keyboard.

It wouldn't be the first time, people mentioned seeing a gray one back in 2006:
