Criterion has been doing something like this for a while now but they want $20 per movie plus $5 S&H.

Question 28

I agree with everyone else who has said something like this should have been available from day 1 and should be for all movies, not just the ones that are probably cheaper in the store after you add S&H.

this would be a great way to start the school year.

The Sony readers have always been Mac and Linux compatible. It shows up as a removable drive. Then you just drag and drop your files. When you turn the reader on it scans the files and builds a library. If Sony is now stating Mac compatibility they are likely taliking about their eLibrary Software. The software is kind of a joke. It looks a lot like old iTunes software and just organizes your files. If you organize your own files in a folder then you are ok without it.

Something that the Sony does that I don't think the Kindle does (i don't know for sure) is jpeg viewing. Many people will say "what? why would I want to look at my pictures in black and white?". What if those pictures were comic book scans that were already black and white, like most manga? I use my 505 to read a lot of manga as well as pdfs and I sync on a mac with no software, using drag and drop. I am going to be looking for this to drop and probably pick one up when it does.

The Kindle has a lot going for it and is a great product. People like to bash it for many reasons. Well if you want an reader then compare your options and pick what is right for you. The Kindle isn't perfect for everyone, and neither is the Sony. I think the best thing is that there is open competition. This will push all products to be better and cheaper for the customer.

sounds good to me.

Ballmer said it best "Developers, Developers, Developers!" This is a serious issue for the Pre. This has kept my company from converting all existing smart phones to the Pre. Support for Hebrew would be big for us, but that will probably come as a 3rd party app as it does for the previous Palm OS. It just seems that no one is out there developing apps for this phone.

Maybe after the Pre shows up at Verizon and a webOS phone shows up at AT&T there will be more of a push to develop apps.

i could use a upgrade in the old laptop

this would help me take pictures almost anywhere

who is winning this stuff?

the idea of an alarm to wake you at the correct point in your sleep pattern is exciting. The downside is that when you can't sleep any little thing starts to both you. Trying to sleep with this on your head will probably drive you nuts, unless you are already sleeping well and will have time to adjust to sleeping with this on. I have a CPAP and it took me a few days to be able to go a whole 8 hours without waking and tearing the mask from my face.
