Deals on fleshlights for all!

I think Jedberg is leaving because he values his marriage over reddit. He kinda hints at that in his blog post.

In the future, all your cards will be on your "mobile" device.

He also says

"The condenser mic in my iPad (again, first generation) is acceptable, but leaves something to be desired, particularly on the high end"

If the mic on the iPad is acceptable to the reviewer. it goes pretty far to show how he reviewing the product (not as a DAW. but as a really awesome toy).

TouchOSC + your choice of DAW is going to be pretty common for a while I think.

Reminds me of the plugin for Amarok, moodbar.

It looks like its loading now - but it was telling me that the file was removed.

Looks like its dead now.

Really?

The Notion Ink Adam is cheaper...

Notion Ink Adam with LCD & WiFi (no 3G) - $375 USD Notion Ink Adam with LCD, WiFi & 3G - $425 USD

Notion Ink Adam with Pixel Qi display & WiFi (no 3G) - $499USD Notion Ink Adam with Pixel Qi display, WiFi & 3G - $549 USD

Lack of support for third party codecs (FLAC specifically).

Lack of auto conversion support when transferring to devices.

"Genius" Playlists never work for anything obscure

Ping is terrible

Lack of tagging support (no autotag feature)

I use mediamonkey (i'm on PC), once you switch you can never go back. I can organize my collection exactly how I want it from in the software, i can browse my harddrives to preview music before I add to my library. It supports pretty much every codec under the sun AND will convert it to compatible versions for whatever device i'm syncing to.

There is also a plugin for discogs tagging support (one of the best online discographies in the world), a plug in for "autodj" (based off last.fm).

I realize that not everyone in the world is as anal about organizing music as I am, but for the job, itunes can't compete.

FYI: You can actually purchase those screens already from PixelQi

Not sure if anyone has written up a review on the quality of the screen though. I've seen a few videos of the screen and it seems acceptable.

They shouldn't put a "country" field on their form if its only open to the USA. Highly disappointing.

"...a suitable candidate, prior to using Piranha, is 98% sulphuric acid."

It's a bit different - Apple had the advantage of being the first on the market. They could afford to take some time before shipping the devices. Everyone else has to play catchup now; the longer they wait, the stronger the iPad becomes.

Apple does however release most of their products shortly after they are announced (new ipad nano, apple tv, iphone4)

Companies should really learn from Apple. When you announce a new product; have it ready to ship within in the month. Every single alternative tablet I have seen is coming Qx 2011. I don't want to wait for an alternative - i want it now.

I've been watching this device for a while, it truly is one of the most promising non-Apple tablet devices. The android jungle is being filled with creatures, and they are starting to breed :)

I believe they are planning models with 3G and wifi :)

Me too, Chrome in Windows XP

Information in the ultimate weapon and the internet is the ideal vector for attack.

To be fair, I couldn't be bothered to click through. Just wanted to pass along the information regarding this topic (which is now obsolete).

Can you trust American computer equipment? As far as i know, there are KNOWN backdoors in Cisco routing equipment.

And you need to pay them anywhere from 750 to 7500$ bucks to develop an application for it...

The point is that MM/DD/YYYY is really terrible idea, and that either one of these suggested options are FAR better than the posted date.

Guess what, DD/MM/YYYY is widely used and much easier to read than the american standard. So don't be a dick.

You have no idea how much I would love to backup my music to a solution like this, but I do not live in a place that provides me with a decent upstream connection. What kind of speeds do you get when you upload? It seems to me that 40KB/s is a bit slow to be doing full drive backups online.

This is an amazing deal, I hope I can score some free stuff that day :).

P.S. DD/MM/YYYY please

I believe you can do that with Firefox and the Weave extension.

Traktor Pro

I think we need more CEOs doing stuff like this. CEOs are real people too.

I don't understand how you can facilitate a real, in depth discussion with 160 characters or less.
