    Thanks for that- It's been down then all day I suppose. I had a similar experience today. I just hooked things up today and once connected, clicking on DishOnline locked up my 622 and after 5 minutes it rebooted itself. Repeated 3 times! Hope they fix that so in a future software release it...

    I have the Mac Book Pro and a Dell XPS 1210 Both are configured about equal, same RAM, processor and HD size. Both cost me within $20 of each other- When I get ready to travel, I grab the Dell. Here's why- 1. In reference to hardware, the Dell 1210 has a screen that is much brighter outside...

    Well, I should say I told you so... but when I said that the Mac-heads all said Oh no, these will be in serious backorder blah blah. Early adopters must suffer the wrath of lower prices for technology and having it first. Just consider it added to your monthly cell phone bill. and shut up...

    Mark- I have been using Host Rocket for several years now. They are not perfect but the 2-3 times a year I have to send in a trouble ticket they are on it in a flash and we're usually back fixed in less than an hour. I needed a service that has big tubes ( Ted Stevens) I resell VOD hosting...

    Just shows you how much profit they really have in those iphones.

    Nick- That is exactly what Hotz and others did. They used self developed data to discover how the iphone handled lock codes. If they were given the information from Apple as in a schematic and engineering manuals then no, it would not have to be reverse engineered. But they did use...

    paulman182- You'd think so but when I checked into it, appears that Lib of Congress( the one charged with copyright enforcement, about a year ago, exempted cell phones from DMCA. It opens the door for third party development which often needs to be integrated into the code to work...

    One will be the XV6800. Sprint has them now under the name of Mogul. I have the XV6700 and it will perform rings around the iphone version 1. It just doesn't have that "cool" factor that an iphone has. MY XV6700 works so well that I'm not sure I'll upgrade. What I would recommend is you get...

    If any of you took the time to read how he did it you wouldn't be so quick to judge. From hios own words, George just did the hardware hack. Which consisted of add ing a switch to a pair of pins on a chip that holds the phone lock code. In the process the switch allows the chip to accept...

    Hey Nick- Been there done that too. I never said Verizon was cheap. In fact, I've always said they appear to be the highest in the business. BUT, coming from T-Mobil;e, I felt the cheaper price for T-Mobile reflected in the quality of their service, vis a vis- Constant dropped calls, large...

    Huh? No not mad at all. In fact I was quite relieved that I didn't feel without after all that advertising about the iphone going to revolutionize the cell phone. You see, I am using the XV6700 and I can work side by side with an iphone and the only thing I'm missing is the little apple logo...

    Nobody mentioned this but from a technical side, wifi, 802.11x has certain latency restrictions built in that will limit the range of the signal for high speed. Your error correction will begin to go out of sight as the distance goes beyond 150 ft. This was done for security reasons and limit...

    I may get one when they produce a CDMA version. funhouse, I don't know where you got that Apple will be tied to AT&T for any of its new versions. Do you have a reference on that? MY thoughts are that if Apple chose to, it would make a CDMA version. Then this phone could be Sprint or Verizon...

    Nearly all films are recorded to HDTV on D5 Panasonic decks in 1080i x 1920. Today, some are done to 1080p for disk. The request may be for D5 dubs or for HDCAM dubs. The latter is reduced to 1440. But in the case of event video shot with HDCAMs most of the stuff airing today was recorded to...

    So when did Apple Computers Inc. drop the word Computers from their name? It used to be Apple Computers Inc. Now it is listed as just Apple Inc. While many still hold on to the idea that the Mac is still a thing to come in the computer world, the fact that Apple is slowly reducing the Mac's...

    For inbound- I favor the computer with winfax. But for outbound I use a combination of a Samsung color laser copier with doc feeder scanner fax etc and the winfax if the doc is already in digital form. If I kept the samsung on for receiving, it would be loaded with junk faxes, which is still a...

    My take on "Got an iphone and love it!" No offense to anyone here but since this is a much over used phrase since its release I thought I'd comment. What people who have an iphone are really saying is they love all the attention they get when others see them with an iphone, like when the...

    Steve- You left one important item off your list-- The iphone is locked to AT&T although I understand that has now been hacked but the hack is not yet public. Apple has been given a chance to fix this security flaw and if not the claimant will make the hack public. The other thing that...

    Just an update on my MacBook Pro and Final Cut Studio. Continue to be annoyed with Final Cut's inability to handle video formats other than quick time mov. My classes on Final Cut continue. Some instructors are puzzled by this problem while others say I don't need to use these other video...

    I'm wondering if an upload to YouTube at 1700 kbps is too high as not getting the benefit of that quality in the final YouTube playback. I'm sure that is why your upload took so long. As I said, I rendered to 400kbps which is a bit high for webcasts in overall compatibility but since this is...
