DavidPFarrell commented on Rockbox Replacement MP3 Player Firmware Gets Updated

"@7raczyk: Can you tell me if RB lets you: * Continue to use iTunes to manage your iPod music/pics/video/podcasts? * Play original iPod games (Tetris, Cubis, Bejeweled, etc) I have a 5g iPod Video and am considering RockBox."

DavidPFarrell commented on Rockbox Replacement MP3 Player Firmware Gets Updated

"Wow I was just checking the RB website out yesterday and contemplating this for my 5g iPod Some questions for some 5g users who've already tried RB: * Can I continue to use iTunes to manage my iPod music/vids/pics/podcasts? * Will RockBox still allow me to play my iPod games (Bejeweled, Pacman, MiniGolf, etc) I looked on the website but couldn't find the answer to these questions."

DavidPFarrell commented on EVOLTA, the World's Longest-Lasting AA Alkaline Battery, Coming to the US

"I can't get any rechargeable-AA love with my Microsoft 6000 wireless mouse :( I've tried 2 separate brands and the batteries seem to die sooner after every charge. Out of frustration of having to switch the batteries every 10 (or less) days, I tossed them and just used some leftover AA's that stopped working in my TV remote. Dang things have been running flawlessly for 6 weeks now!"

DavidPFarrell commented on Rubik's Mirror Blocks: The Cube Taken to New Dimensions of Trickiness

"I suspect it is actually easier to solve than a standard Rubik's cube as the similar stickers create 'duplicate' pieces, reducing the total number of unique states for the cube. Also, I doubt this is a genuine Rubik's product. There is no mention of the puzzle on the Rubik's website - Also the word Rubik does not seem to appear on the box, just on the cube stand (which might be genuine) - I will admit that the box does resemble the Rubik's hex packaging and specifically the Rubik's Icon. Just the same, I'm going to look into selling these in my twisty puzzle store. Cube On! -PuzzleProz [stores.ebay.com]"

DavidPFarrell commented on iRex Promises a "New Era in Digital Reading" Next Week, a.k.a. an Updated iLiad

"What's all this "Achilles' Heel" and "Locked to a service" mumbo jumbo? As far as I know the Iliad is the most open platform of all e-readers - They even host the website for discussions on hacking the device The price is the only barrier for me, but you get so much more for the money - huge screen, more grey-scale, 802.11 connectivity ..."
