No doubt, but you can't use it once the PC inside is no longer useful. That's MY problem with it. You could go buy a $500-$600 Dell IPS panel though, you're right.

Right, but my major problem is a) you're paying for the screen (which you can't use once it's old) and b) no hdd replacement for you. I have monitors that are 6 years old and still look great. So the fact that you can't buy iMac internals without the screen kill it for me.

No doubt, but the internals will become outdated/slow/unusable. It becomes a beautiful, dead, screen at that point

+1. The solution now? Hackintosh. The reason they aren't doing it clear: they wouldn't be able to have their margins with that device. The MacMini is underpowered, the laptops are priced up by their chasis (not internals), the Mac Pro is way marked out and the iMac is up priced by it's screen. The Mac simply wouldn't…

sweeeeet

Yeah, exactly! It's gone now, which is lame.

A successful trolling! Bravo.

I thought buying an iMac made little sense before (you're paying for a monitor that becomes obsolete) and this just builds on that. Especially with the removal or target display mode, it looks like this model is just not a good fit for me.

His trailer is bigger than my house, although my mortgage isn't $36k/month.

Well, because it's capped at 20k songs and I don't think they'll support FLAC.

I'll agree with most of that. But the main push of this is Android/mobile.

I might have failed to mention that for the first two streaming options I was talking mobile use (which this is aimed at). Also, if you want backup you should go ahead and get a dedicated backup solution like Carbonite (which I use and love).

This service aint for you, but that's an impressive amount of files (epeen stroking alert!)

I don't know what the big advantage of FLAC would be for this service. If you have the bandwidth to stream FLAC then you're either on WiFi (which reduces some of the portability), or 4G (which would murder your battery), or you're on a PC (which should have enough space to hold the FLAC files anyway). It's probably…

This story is taking a very wikileaks-ish drama arc.

AOL is an interesting company because they should be dead about 7 times over given the sea changes that have swept through the industry, yet they have a healthy hold on life. Despite their revenue issues they're certainly "looking" better than Yahoo, for one.

Excellent.

Excuuuuuse me. It's true, I'm pretty American when it comes down to it.
