    Those shirts are pretty neat. Have to go get one. Seems like they could have done better with the colors on the apple one. I'm not gay or anything, but why not the rainbow apple?

    In reply to Fastmac iV iPhone Charger and Backup Battery Lightning Review
    It's so bulky! The iPhone is so sexy, why would you destroy that? It would be nice if they made one without all the extra junk that just added juice to the phone without the flashlight, etc.


    But yeah, it's pretty well-priced. I think they just need to tweak it some more.

    In reply to Fastmac's Mac-Specific Blu-ray External Drive Is Slim and $99
    Fastmac has it up on their site now, says it works with both PC and Mac, but it appears that Crunchgear either got the price wrong or it's some sort of Macworld special as the normal price is $150 (though already marked down to $130)... still, pretty damn good, considering that a bare Sony slimline Blu-Ray drive with roughly equivalent specs (a bit quicker burns but big woop) is going for double that at newegg.

    @something_unique_and_descripti...: Further reading reveals this choice bit:


    "Blu-ray Movie Playback


    Apple's QuickTime software does not (yet) support the decoding and playback of encrypted Blu-ray movies. Therefore you cannot watch commercial (Hollywood) Blu-ray movies using Mac OS X. However, if you have Windows XP or Vista installed on your Macintosh, you can use PowerDVD software to decrypt and watch commercial Blu-ray movies via Apple's BootCamp environment. You will need to ensure you have the latest graphics card drivers for your version of Windows and a HDCP compliant monitor to enjoy the full high definition experience. Further information about Blu-ray playback using PowerDVD can be found on Cyberlink's website @ [www.cyberlink.com]"


    From the product description on Fastmac's website. Basically until Apple realizes that even though BD is a "bag of hurt" it's still the High Def source of choice so they sort of need to implement BD support (or a third party steps up), you have to run Windows in order to use it... ahhhh, the irony is killing me.

    @berribrand: Except the PS3 is a hell of a lot larger, and it's easier to get the Mini to play lots of different file formats (VLC, and Quicktime + Perian love).
