While true that the front of the line was filled with Early Adopters (Video/Audio Geeks), I found that the line also had people I might consider less technically savy.  No doubt all of these people’s friends will see the High Def output during the season’s, and I have found that people gawk at the picture that my HD setup can…

In reference to “Cyrl” comment on “fairness is a 2 way street”. I guess that’s why a community cannot get a contract with Comcast unless they agree to pay the company damages if another service moves into the area and it hurts their business.

If you really want to avoid the effects of compression, just use the (relatively) uncompressed CD AIFF files or use Apple Lossless (in iTunes). With iPod capacities increasing, using large files is becoming less of a problem. Then…

Unless you’re selling Leer Jets or Cruise Ships there are very few businesses that would agree that selling 4 items at $2.5mil is a better approach than 10mi; at $1.00. It might be less work, if you’re a great salesperson, but… As for loss leaders, Sony posted a loss of $876 (or so) MILLION in loss form their gaming (read:…
