Damage control: AT&T denies $55 tethering charge rumor {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jun 19th 2009 5:14PM Except once they have a separate APN for tethering, it will be very easy for them to see who is hacking.

Dec 20th 2008 5:27PM I have Blu Ray disks at the top of my queue that say "Now' yet havent been shipped yet.

BBC boxes up "Earth Collection" in time for the holidays {Engadget HD}
Nov 14th 2008 5:56PM Also, just FYI, Earth is just a re-cut of Planet Earth into a feature length film; although there have been reports of better PQ on Earth, it's the same thing just shorter.
BBC boxes up "Earth Collection" in time for the holidays {Engadget HD}
Nov 13th 2008 2:38PM Uh, this has been out for a long while.
I saw this in Best Buy at least a month ago, package set and all.
New MacBooks adding NVIDIA hardware H.264 decoding? {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Oct 21st 2008 10:22PM CUDA is more of an advanced method to allow for faster h264 decoding for encoding, such as the new Quadro CX has. It has been implemented in a few encoding programs already.
All of the 8 series nvidia cards(not sure about 9) do hardware accelerated decoding, but only using certain codecs (certain h264 codecs, such as the Cyberlink h264 that comes with PowerDVD).
I can watch 1080p on my MBP (2.4Ghz, mid 2007) in windows with low CPU usage because of that. It would more likely be a software update needed, not just a hardware.
No Blu-ray on Macs... and no one cares {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Oct 2nd 2008 6:56PM Hmmm, another ignorant comment.
I have a medium sized 37" television and I can EASILY tell the difference between high quality SD (superbit DVDs and the like) and 720p HD, not to mention 1080p.
I agree with the no real need for blu ray drives in laptops, but face it, people do hook up their laptops to their TVs.
If you are never gonna buy any of your moves again, I hope you download all your movies, because DVD quality is the way of the past big time. It's not like re-buying music that you have on a CD through the iTunes store. (Which is actually pretty backwards).
Just because you don't think that Apple doesn't need to do it because YOU have no need for it doesn't mean that there aren't a million other people out there that do want it.
No Blu-ray on Macs... and no one cares {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Oct 2nd 2008 6:49PM If you really can't tell the difference between an upscaled DVD and even 720p HD, you really should get your eyes checked.
When DVDs first came out, they too were that price. You can get a lot of Blu Ray movies for $20-25, and it is well worth the price IMO, and I am cheap.
As "overpriced" as Mac's are, you would think that most users wouldn't care about that.
HDTV Listings for September 12, 2008 {Engadget HD}
Sep 12th 2008 8:34PM You should also mention somewhere that some CW stations air Everybody Loves Raymond in HD every night at 7:30 and 10:30.
I am in Orlando and see this every night. Every once in a while it will be in SD, but not too often.
MIT uses Macs to learn how children gain speech skills {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
May 2nd 2008 6:54PM This is old news. It's sad how few stories TUAW actually has that are new or not referring to Engadget.
