It kinda sound weird and a little scary that it can actually talk to you. (my opinion, though). I'd stick with my sister's ipod instead. 

Thats really nothing new. The software uses windows and mac text to speech to record a whole bunch of tiny recordings. The device cant really speak by itself. This also has been a feature already available for iPods.

Ah, yes, MacInTalk seems to come to mind. Another thing that Apple excelled in.

Seriously, enough with the photos...

I have to agree.

Hehe, I didn't know the NYC subway had their route fonts in Akidenz Grotesk.

It's Helvetica. Everyone uses it. It's hip.

$330 on my parent's comcast monthly bill 

4 HD-DVR Box rentals, Digital Premier Tier on all boxes, HD Tier (43 bland Channels) and On-Demand.

the HD-DVR boxes alone are almost $20 a month each... Maybe you should drop your package down if you really don't need all of those premium channels.... the package for just one premium package should be ~$90 a month. the HD tier in my area is about $6 a box, which for me, if I had 4 HD-DVR boxes, would be an extra $24 a month... I'm telling you, all of this adds up...

I tihnk its area-specific. When I had an HD DVR, it was only $12-13 a month.

This is the weirdest one I've heard in my life!

Video location: Chicago, Illinois (Found it on Youtube)

Lots of Lightning   
Pause at 1:27 to see some serious lightning.

It looked like a giant funnel cloud right behind.

Hence why the sirens are going off...

FireWire is an Apple thing. It's for the people who need it.

The same thing can be found on PC's; FireWire is just Apple's name for IEEE 1394.

FireWire is definitely focused on the Mac, there's no debating that. From what Ive read, FireWire support on Windows leaves much to be desired.

FireWire won't be leaving Apple for a long time. It's like how they were with SCSI...

Or be smart, and save some green, by buying it over the internet.
