Indeed. Showing some rather strong bias, Jason?

I couldn't agree more. I'm a Zune Pass subscriber, have a Zune HD, and my kids own the original Zune 30s which still work perfectly. Whenever a friend of theirs mentions new music, they grab it "for free" from the Zune Library while their friends shell out $.99 per song. We can't wait for Verizon to launch their WP7…

Very well done, Mr. Castleman. Very well done...

yet again, the early adopters get the shaft...

@digitalmorphine: it was actually Robert Zemeckis.

@Gators15: I'm just saying that whoever is president has the authority to make changes within their administrations' organizations. I'm just shocked that Obama hasn't done something about this already.

@Stevox: Last I checked, Bush is longer president. These new TSA screenings occured under Obama's regime.

@Fizzter: if you stay with the current plan, it appears the price doesn't change. I just switched to streaming-only, but it said my "1-BluRay out at a time" plan wasn't avaliable anymore and if I left that plan, I wouldn't be able to get it back at that price. However, it did seem to indicate I could keep my…

@Skydog: I have one BluRay here at home which I'm sending back today. I already switched to Streaming-Only and it said it won't go in effect until 12/3/10. So I have time to get the disc back to them. You should be fine if you want to switch plans today and then get them the disc you have in the next week.

@registeraccount21: so Android is promising Zune and XBoxLive? Keep wishing...

This reminds me of how grateful I am to my now deceased grandfather for filming events back when "moving picture cameras" were still not commonly owned by the average person.

@manuka: LED yes, plasma, no... Just to be clear.

@Zordon: I believe it's one of many exisiting costumes from the original series and think this one actually came from Episode V, so it's not like it's the only one out there.

@curiouscomputer: that was the first thing I thought, too...

@DrCoffee: It's their right, both as parent and as the heads of a charity to dictate how the money should be spent. Besides, you can buy more for your money when buying Windows PCs versus buying Apple products. Heck, you can buy 3 netbooks for the same price as a macbook. If would-be recipents don't like it, they…

@rxe7en: There have been many rumors about a Zune HD2 coming out. My guess / hope is that it would be based on the WP7 OS, but nobody knows for sure. If the OS takes off, I also wouldn't be surprised to see a WP7-based tablet in a 18 months or so.

George Lucas owes an eternal debt of gratitude to one person - John Williams. Without the (greatest-ever-written) soundtrack, Star Wars would have been labeled a B-movie at best and there would not have been any sequels. Heck, even Episode I was saved by Williams with that amazing Duel of the Fates scoring.

Dumb question... if this happens fairly regularly, isn't there a way to harness this (free) electricity? Would it be worth the cost of the equipment needed to do so?

"Luckily, since tweens are incredibly stupid and unmotivated, they'll never figure out ways to get around content-blocking, like using different words, or, say, picking up the phone and calling their sext-objects."

@Lu10ntDn: Oh, and I own a Zune HD and have been a Zune Pass subscriber for about 9 months. I absolutely love my Zune's Metro UI and the monthly subscription service. I can't even imagine how much money I would have needed to spend in the iTunes store for the 1100+ albums I currently have in my Zune library.
