If you like the addition to Bing check out Clicker (was part of the TC50). It's a pretty bad ass service to find what you're looking for when it comes to tv shows and what not. I think it's still closed beta, but they kick out the invites pretty quick when you sign up. #gizmodoremainders
@UnderLoK: And if you're a firefox user, the popular GooglePreview app (adds a thumbnail next to every google result) has changed it's name to SearchPreview because it now supports Bing. #gizmodoremainders
mDP is still pretty pointless. HDMI is rapidly moving to replace DVI and has a similar footprint to mDP. The way I see it is soon enough HDMI will be the USB of the visual in/out world. #gizmodoremainders
@Assassin_Kensei:
Well vertically there's not a huge amount of difference, it just takes up a little more horizontal real estate. Not that much more than a standard USB though. #gizmodoremainders
Biggest news to me here: the iPhone only has a 2.5% national marketshare? Which nation is that? By my incredibly rough calculations, 2.5% of the U.S. population would be about 7.5 million people. I was almost certain there were more iPhone users than that.
Then again, I live in geek land, where dumbphones don't exist, if you're running anything less than Win7/Snow Leopard, you're behind the times, and location-aware services are the norm. Also, apparently CDs are dead? #gizmodoremainders
Don't hold your breath. If the displayport standard hasn't been adapted yet, it probably won't. It seems HDMI is becoming the HD output of choice for the moment. The biggest problem with displayport.. short cable runs.
@KLanD: Rumor has it that Dell is also adopting displayport for their Adamo laptop. HDMI is a format of choice for TV peripherals, but HDMI will be a dongle-hungry format when you consider the lower end computer monitor crowd, which will likely not adopt HDMI from top to bottom. With Displayport being an open format, as opposed to HDMI, which is a fee-based proprietary format, I'd say that Displayport is the one to go with.
@Kaiser-Machead: Yup. Completely agree. That, along with the hard drive sensing the computer is dropping and automatically parking its heads, and all those other little Mac laptop features are perks too considerable for Apple to let others have.
@KLanD: Just curious, but why? As far as I can tell, after living with a magsafe-equipped machine for over 3 years, I see no notable detriments, but see a great deal of pluses over standard plugs. You will never be able to yank a macbook off a table by its power cable.
@zero411: I didn't get it either. I assume it is somehow related to the death of the Firewire port or something? Maybe we just need another cup of joe to figure this one out.
@zero411: Maybe it means something like exploding outward instead of being an isolated, Mac-only video option. Even if it is "proprietary", if it's a freely licensed option, I guess that makes it a bit hotter than it would be if otherwise.
Such an obvious idea in hindsight, but what a great one to execute! The specs look underpowered but I hope this'll catch on so we get more beefy, yet slim, DIY-AIO rigs. :)
Call me stupid ... but i have been looking for exactly that product for years.
I need a computer in my kitchen for online cookbooks, recepie collections and so on ... just small stuff ... maybe surf the net a bit and skype while cooking (yeah i cook a lot) and this is the one thing that delivers.
@Redwraithvienna: can please everybody. a usb dongle is too much for you. or to splurge 20-100 bucks on a wireless desktop is just out of the question. Name me ONE all in one PC that includes this.
Greed I despise, but incompetent arrogance, and boastful ignorance is detestable most amongst them all.
@Redwraithvienna: me too. I run a catering business part time and this would be perfect to review orders and recipies as well as keep a "virtual" whiteboard up and running
@aerospaceman: It wouldn't have the VESA mounts on it (CRTs are a bit to heavy to mount on anything ;) ) but yeah, there is no reason you couldn't set it off to the side (or duct tape to the back as mentioned above).
Great idea - this is awesome as a parents or inlaws PC - give them the 19" you don't need any more with this thing clipped to the back, since all they do is send email and surf the web.
@Canoehead: Don't forget a VNC app. For when they mysteriously get adware from some porno site, a site selling Viagra, or cheap Rolex and $eiko watch site.
Seriously, whoever thought this up needs a medal. This is like perfect for someone who wants to make a kitchen/bathroom PC. The only downside would be the power cord, but I'm sure you can find a work around.
@pmathews: You attach it to a swing arm mount and you can browse the web while you shave. Or, if you are real adventurous, mount it behind some plexi and use a waterproof keyboard and you can do your email/porn while in the shower.
@Git Em SteveDave loves this guy->★: The steam would be bad, like if you had the shower going. Maybe a Plexiglas enclosure would help it not fry, but it would still get on the screen. Needs a defogger contraption too. For power, call an electrician to run you a special line. Extra cheap if you've got an electrician buddy.

I also think HDMI would have been a sweet addition to the MacBook Pro, too bad i have to buy an adapter to go to HDMI... )-:
I'm not saying your wrong on HDMI being better, just the foot prints are way different. #gizmodoremainders

@OCEntertainment: One other part of that figure is that it also includes the iPod touch. 40Million iPhone OS Devices. #gizmodoremainders
