    When I sit in on phone conferences or read/reply to emails it's a great time to get on the treadmill. As long as they listeners don't mind my heavy breathing. :)

    If you're on a treadmill, you shouldn't be on the computer.
    What's so important to do on it, that people can't wait 30 min.
    All the controls are being blocked, and for safety reasons they shouldn't.
    If someone falls while using it, who are they gonna blame, themselves, no, they're gonna blame whoever made this.
    Things like this, is just a lawsuit waiting to happen.

    @Colonel Jack O'Neill: You obviously didn't read any of the post. It's for walking, for one, and it's for walking while working, so you can do 2 or 3 hours on it while you were otherwise going to be sitting on your ass.

    And for commenting without reading a post, you get a ban.

    @Jason Chen: I'll probably get banned for this too, but I did read the article. But, Colonel Jack actually had some good points regarding safety. Albeit, the one line about What's so important did seem to indicate he either did not read the lengthy posting or scanned it and didn't get it.

    Just wrapping up another 7 mile day on my treadmill desk! If you have $40, I highly recommend equipping yourself with one. I had to hack a treadmill to fit under a stand up desk, not as easy.

    Or you could just hook up your laptop to your TV and use this for a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. At least your laptop wouldn't fall.

    @Jason Chen: Couldn't you just do the ctrl+Scroll Wheel Trick? Works for me.
    Or you could have everyone chip in and buy a 105" Panasonic. Whatever floats your boat.

    @fusedinertia: Since you asked...

    I have been on a project at work,and being in the office 11 1/2 hours a day,I still have been walking 3 miles (or biking 12) when I get home. I like to get some PC time in,but I'd been blowing it off simply because of fitting all of the other stuff in. But I'd always thought of putting something together to allow me to go online while running. I don't think the top part of my treadmill is stable enough when moving at 4-4.5 miles an hour,so I would prob. build a stand that went over it,but accomplished the same thing. But for people who lack those skills,I think this product is a great idea actually!

    @fusedinertia: are you serious? If I traded all the hours I'm on the computer in with walking on the treadmill I'd be 10% bodyfat, in fact I'd say 90% of computer users would be in much better shape. Even if you'd rather run, it'd be great to have this just for the hours I spend on the PC, and when I don't have time to run I can at least be thankful I got 10 miles out of the way on the treadmill.

    This sounds like a great product, but I personally prefer running outdoors to running on a treadmill.

    In reply to Snow Leopard Review: Lightened and Enlightened
    I had no issues on my 17" Unibody MacBook Pro. However it has been a living nightmare for me on my 2008 Mac Pro. I have 6 drives inside the Mac Pro and I have two raid sets. Any time I tried to access anything for the raid sets I would get Kernel Panics. I had to slowly pull Terrabytes worth of data folder by folder onto external drives to kill the pre Snow Leopard raid sets. It is being talked about on the Apple Disccusion groups but no answer from Apple yet on the matter.

    In reply to Snow Leopard Review: Lightened and Enlightened
    When is anyone going to mention that still there is no Cut-and-Paste in Finder???

    Why do I have to buy a 3rd party application (Path Finder) to get this functionality when it was once planned for in MacOS, yet never implemented (visible by the greyed out Cmd + X command in the Edit menu of the Finder)? I know I'm complaining on a very high level, but to implement this functionality would probably take a savvy Apple programmer a week or two, yet the thankfulness of hundreds of thousands of users would be guaranteed.

    I don't get it.

    "And Safari 4's ability to segment unstable browser plugins made itself useful when many more flash powered pages crashed in Snow Leopard than Leopard."

    ok I'm confused, how is this a bad thing?

    In reply to Snow Leopard Review: Lightened and Enlightened
    I preformed a clean install. I've got about 10 main stream apps that don't work. Latest video codecs that continue to claim they can't find Quicktime and won't launch from the finder. Have about 3 friends that had serious upgrade issues and one upgrade that failed and his end result is an unbootable mac. He has had to erase entire hard drive and reinstall Leopard, and is restoring everything with time machine. He isn't going to try again until snow leopard has had some time out in the wild. I am trying to decide whether to downgrade myself to get back the apps I use until upgrades are released. At Mac Store I was lead to believe that this should be fairly flawless and everything should work. Where are all the people bitching about this upgrade like they bitched about Vista?? I had fewer issues upgrading to Vista.
