http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/ in case you want to actually see it. How in God's green Earth do you know you like something better if you haven't even seen a picture of it? Or put it in your hands to feel the quality (or lack of). There is no problem in liking what you have, but criticizing Apple for doing market research and seeing how people actually use their flash players and putting out what they feel is a better product is silly. Would you like to place a bet on Apple's market share of flash based players in the future?

You know, perhaps you should look at why Apple has 70% of the market with higher prices than their competitors? Perhaps there is some additional value there? Windows users are buying them by the handfuls. Every time someone mentions the iPod - you jump on it with criticisms. I read you drive a Camry. Was that the cheapest car you could find? Couldn't you have purchased a KIA? I mean afterall - a car is only 4 wheels, an engine, and a couple of seats wrapped in sheet metal... Apparently, price isn't the end all of everything you buy - why should it be the end of MP3 players? The tight integration with iTunes, the music store, the players, the gorgeous designs, the COUNTLESS after market products, the integration into automobiles all have significant value to - well 70% of the marketplace and it shouldn't be dismissed at every single opportunity.

No offense, but I shall be going on a rant that will include most of my Bills brothers in this thread.... Your criticism is unfounded. Were you at MWSF? Did you read the reports from there? I'm guessing no... Flash-based players had 62% of the market in 2003 - the iPod mini reduced that to 29%. Now, Apple has targeted the remaining 29% who see a value in extremely small devices. They DID NOT claim to reinvent the wheel. They ARE expanding their product line to appeal to users who have different needs. Considering Apple is kicking the absolute SNOT out of every single competitor in this area - with higher prices - maybe pausing to actually evaluate their new product would be worthwhile.

again... if Ralph wanted money he could have just sold the Bills or moved them and received WAAAAY more than $11M.... Flutie saved nothing.

Ralph wasn't going to move this team for a paltry $11M in extra seat revenue... He is a business man who extracted more money from the fan base using his built in hammer. Nothing more, nothing less.

Thanks - I think it help up pretty well too.... There was a shaky 10 minutes or so on Sunday, but beyond that I think it went well. Our traffic was 50% higher than at any point this season so far. There is still a lot more to do, but I'm glad we got through a big game w/ little difficulty.

How is it that someone will drive for 15-20 minutes in their car looking for a parking spot that is 50 feet closer to the store than the available ones???? Or they will sit in their car - RIGHT NEXT TO AN OPEN SPOT - while they wait for 5 minutes until the car 6 spaces closer finally leaves? Just how lazy are people that they can't just park in a spot and walk an extra 50-75 feet or so and get on with their day????

no playoffs... PM me your address.

you hit on THREE overtime games???? Damn... I don't have a specific prize per se, but how about a piece of Ralph Wilson Stadium turf? I have a section of green if you want.

go to: http://www.stainedapron.com/ some dining enjoyment!!!

Outback is an example of "curbside" service. They bring your carryout to your vehicle instead of going into the bar area (usually) to pick up your food. It's all the rage with chain restaurants.

I think bf1 was right - it was Dave Marino from FLA IIRC...

a. Do you tip when you pick up carryout and if so, how much? b. Do you tip for curbside service and if so, how much?

I'm looking for that pic... TIA

IceScraping.wmv For your enjoyment.

just when you thought he was irrelevant - he makes himself relevant.

Outstanding!

those tix were probably bought in August....

I know why that is.... yes - use the original cookbook at tbd.

make sure you go to: http://205.134.161.85/cookbook/ as that is the new dB for the cookbook.

I'm thinking broncos...

the TV has nothing to do with recording one/watch another. You need two lines from your dish coming into your receiver for that. If you have 2 lines - you probably configured the tivo wrong. I just disconnected one line to use another receiver (because you need a 2nd mpeg decoder) to get PIP. One receiver will not work for PIP. I just nbeeded to tell the tivo unit that one line was coming in and not two through the setup.

it takes longer than 30 seconds.... I'm already done, but it was aggravating.
