Oooh, really? I might be interested in a Mini (my big HP laptop is better suited for staying on my computer desk at home, which is fine most of the time, but I've been thinking I'd like to have a little one to take to school).
Kaylee: Captain seem a little funny to you at breakfast this morning? Wash: Come on, Kaylee. We all know I'm the funny one.

I'll let folks know what's going up for sale once I've got the new machines configured and ready to drop into my rental batch. I get back to LA at the beginning of August and will know little while after that.

What I was surprised to learn recently is that Thunderbolt is PCIe and DisplayPort combined over a single cable. This means you should be able to cheaply make adapters for anything that is supported by PCIe cards, like FireWire.

Huh, that is interesting, Rob.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yeah, the new Thunderbolt monitors from Apple just have a Thunderbolt connection between the Mac and the monitor, but it has USB, Firewire, and ethernet ports coming out of the monitor.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Rob's news makes Thunderbolt much more interesting all of a sudden (as I was assuming it was another case of "hey, nifty tech that there won't be enough variety to support!")

If I ask my newly installed itunes to sync music from my phone will it erase all the music on my phone or will it transfer the music to my computer?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It will offer to transfer all songs you bought from the iTunes store, but I think it'll erase everything else.

Rumors that Apple is considering buying Hulu
A few weeks back I heard news story that Hulu owners had to divest their interest in Hulu, as they were creating competition to their customers (i.e. Cable companies)
As for the apple buying it? Seems to make sense. If the company has long term licenses to content from 3 networks, and subscribers on TiVo and XboxLive, and who knows what else... Seems like an easy way to expand their media distribution empire, and bypass some of the cold shoulders they are getting.
No clue how true it is.
