You can always add a second, inexpensive monitor to the i3.
I've had both - the i3 full speed advantages are not shown by those benchmarks.

I think Apple is going to be more aggressive on the first iPad release or two. Like the original iPhone, there are obvious ways to improve it without inventing new technology.
And Apple does NOT want to lose out in this market to Android. Phones are a messy market; Apple is defining the tablet category (like the iPod).

I've been using generic replacement batteries for Canon, Panasonic and Nikon digital cameras since the original Canon Digital Elph - the 2 megapixel one. Mostly Canons in this inventory, however.
These batteries were normally used in a rotation - one in charger, one in camera, etc. I cannot say I've noticed any significant life expectancy advantage to the OEM batteries. My wife's batteries for

All I can say is that my son's high school would be better off WITHOUT a computer. Their system is phenomenally terrible.
I used to work at a university with over 65,000 students enrolled each semester. Believe it or not, you could generally figure out what classes were full in real time. Sometimes there were glitches, but nothing horrible.
It takes this high school over 2 WEEKS to make a s

I wanted to chime in on the iPad case. I have one the original Apple ones, arrived about a week after they first started shipping. Like the iPad, it's clearly a first generation product - works, but there's going to be better ones from Apple and other suppliers.
My main complaint is that it's already falling apart. My iPad gets some regular use, but it's largely protected in my computer case w

There is an app called tinyumbrella that allows you to store versions of your iPhone so you can backup to prior OS versions without going 'all the way' to the latest and greatest.
I've never set this up, but I'm getting ready to jailbreak - probably once the non-tethered 4.1 JB is released.
In the meantime, I'm sticking at 4.00 - 4.01 only adds the silly change to the signal strength icon,

Someone needs to directly challenge the EULA rules. For example, you really do not have a choice in many instances whether to accept such requirements or not. If you purchase software at a brick and mortar store, none of the retail packaging actually shows such onerous restrictions - that's for the fine print when you install the software.
I understand and respect the rights of software compan

I went from an SSD drive to this 500 GB hybrid Seagate:
I'm generally pleased with the performance, and the $130 price point was not a deal-breaker.
Otherwise, if I had to choose between standard drives, go with the biggest you can afford - if you only use the first half of capacity, you'll get the most speed out of them.

When I upgraded to an iPhone 4, I gave my ol' 3GS to my 15 year-old son.
He promptly jailbroke the 3GS, and he's been showing me an array of super-cool apps not available via the app store. And believe it or not, his phone has not exploded!
Now that jailbreaking is official sanctioned, I'm feeling a lot less tolerant of Apple's / AT&T's restrictions.
What I'll probably do is jailbre

Just give it a little time.
This is one of my favorite series ever.
Some episodes, the key info is seemingly irrelevant until episodes later.
And the acting gets MUCH better.
P.S. I'm jealous - I wish I had something as good as this to look forward to watching!

My money is on Samsung to make a viable iPad competitor.
We need at least one to keep Apple playing fair.
who is the iPod competitor?
Traditional iPods are becoming commodities. The smaller form-factor iPad 'killers' will be the best competition for the iPod touch, now the best-selling iPod, according to Apple.
I am a firm believer that the reason Apple is re

We're getting it for several key purposes:
1) Stream video content from a home server to a 46" Vizio LCD TV with surround sound. I currently have a mac mini G4 hooked up, but a lot of my handbrake conversions are either a compromise in quality or the big motion scenes are choppy. I was considering a new/refurb mac mini for this purpose (and almost pulled the trigger last month until I rea

... just cost me $99!
Watched to the end, including the new Apple TV. My wife kept asking 'what does it do'? Up to the pricepoint, which she said 'and why haven't you pre-ordered it yet?!'
Heck, isn't an Apple remote something like $20?
Anyway, count us in for our first Apple TV. We'll see how we like it - if it's good, I'm sure we'll be buying more!

I agree with CR on point and shoot cameras (Canon generally receive their top scores) and computers (Macs).
I found their car recommendations - with their historically Toyota-centric preferences - very frustrating to read. Their data was fine, but I seemingly had different priorities. In the end, that's still ok.
I'm glad they raised the iPhone antenna issue. That is very real on my iPhon

I think this is a great idea.
Teaching a comprehensive view of English as a written and spoken language should be the focus of high school English classes.
That should include some classics, but even that definition changes. Orwell's 1984 is perhaps more appropriate today than ever.
I just hope the program undergoes a rigorous and objective ongoing review to know if it's being successfu

42 mpg year over year on 2005 civic hybrid.
This is a full-featured, safety-rich vehicle.
The hybrid gives at least 20% better mileage over a standard civic.
BTW, this is real mileage including Minnesota winters!
And is the same mileage as a 2007 Prius here in MN.

I have several older Apple BT full keyboards. They were much more expensive than wired models. Each have been replaced by wired models over the years.
The new ones are simply classic Jobs - minimal technology to get the job done.
