The Apple thing is interesting, especially since they work so diligently to kill hackintosh makers. I realize this is not a full OS push, but the end result would be similar, on all sorts of strange equipment.

I'm not saying I don't like the idea, though. In fact, this would be great for a lot of people like me. I have a Camry Hybrid with a touch-screen nav system. I installed an iPod interface, which connects to the satellite input. Unfortunately, the iPod controls are almost unusable -- six big, text-based buttons and a 10 or 16 character limit to the song and artist display, depending on the screen. If I could have the standard iPod or iPhone iPod interface or, even better, Cover Flow, it would be great. To avoid using my system's crappy iPod controls, I usually set it to Auxiliary and use my iPod or iPhone to navigate music.

I agree with the Bing thing in principle. However, haven't all the major players in search, Microsoft, Yahoo and Google, catered to China's censorship policies?

OK, a couple of things about the LCD TV's. 5 HDMI ports is too many? Really? I have 2 desktops, two Dish DVR's, an HD-DVD player, a Blu-ray player, a PS3 and I have a few portable products which I like to use from time to time on the big screen. Seems I need more than 5.

Second, that's prohibitively expensive? Because in your article about which HDTV's to buy only the LG's are not priced in that range.

But the TV's aren't even american TV's! The British taxing system notwithstanding, they're completely uncomparable with US TV's. Let's wait for if and when they announce the 60Hz versions.

The Bing thing is kind of like shooting the messenger. If Microsoft wants a piece of China, it better do as it's told.

@Shamoononon: I shave my legs.:
I've always felt that was pretty weak tea.

If some nation engaged in rampant mandatory pedophilia, a company that decided it had to engage in pedophilia there to go along and get along wouldn't do that because it's a retarded analogy.

On the other hand, an information provider that relies on the fact that its home nation does not censor decides that to make more money by heading into a new market, it has to go along to get along by censoring the very info they're supposed to be providing cause by golly that's just how it's done there.

Not even to mention the whole respectability and authority of the names MS and Google. Wanna blow your nose or make a copy? Use a Kleenex or Xerox because those'll get'r'done. Wanna do a search of the information that is reliably presented to you because the provider is the world leader in search? Use Google, or Bing if MS managed to convince you to roll that way. Except if you actually want real unvarnished info on Tienanmen in Chinese that is.

I'm sure that'll do awesome for America's trade deficit.

1 2, and 6 look like Star Trek sets. I'd probably enjoy being in 2.

What's wrong with the red one ? It's got a nice warmth and richness to it, like sunrise/set or fire light. I'd probably find that fairly soothing for recovery purposes. Even now I generally eschew flourescent/CFL/incandescent for high intensity25w - 40w because they have that softness to them.

Nice that they give you a choice though...

What impresses me is the openness of the rooms themselves. Too often have I see 'open' imaging devices crammed into rooms that can barely hold the device, more or less defeating the point by making the patients feel confined not by the machine, but by the walls around them. Of course it's debatable to blame the hospital for this, space is a commodity.

It may just be a concept today, but when I see photos like those it makes me think 'damn, living in the future rules.'

I've seen a lot of lighting reps pushing their fluorescent lighting fixtures with designs and patterns behind them with varying degrees of success but I really like the pediatric applications. I've seen hospitals create rooms that look like undersea adventures and such. Lighting fixtures in hospital environments have much stricter standards and it's good to see companies tackling those challenges and still putting humanity behind it.
