I'm really pushing for the mini now to hook it up to the 61" dlp.
Either way it will have a DVI out. Not sure the Minis graphics card can push that many pixels though.

5/100 = 5%... not much better than their market share.

But if Apple hadn't been so greedy it would be Mac-centric.

Paradigm shift...... Apple would be scorned for having a porous operating system with numerous security flaws and crappy patches to fix it! I think I will stick to being a zealot of the 5%

Apple to offer $50 credit in iPod suit

Apple Computer has agreed to settle several class action suits over the battery life of its popular iPod portable music players, offering extended service warranties and $50 store credits to consumers who lodged complaints.

The law firms representing the plaintiffs began sending notices of the preliminary settlement this week to more than 2 million U.S. residents who purchased iPods between the date of the device's debut in 2001 and May 31, 2004. A judge in San Mateo County, Calif., is expected to grant final approval of the settlement at a hearing on Aug. 25.

The legal dispute began in 2003, when eight consumers in California and New York filed suits alleging that Apple had misrepresented the durability of its iPod batteries when it claimed they would last the lifetime of the device and would power uninterrupted play for up to 10 hours. Many found that the batteries held their charge for only four or five hours of continuous play.

As word of the allegedly faulty batteries spread, hundreds of consumers began lodging complaints, said Eric Gibbs, a partner at San Francisco-based Girard Gibbs and DeBartolomeo who represented several plaintiffs in the case. His firm alone received complaints from more than 1,200 iPod owners, he said.
