Dusty Chalk Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 that's a totally different situation, and you know it.I stand by this:...theft shouldn't be a function of what is stolen, only of the value of what is stolen.
Voltron Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 the value of a stolen item is typically determined by what is stolen. And the guy who took it could have left it with the bar and eventually he knew it was a prototype that belonged to Apple and considered returning it but kept it for himself. In any event, he didn't have the right to sell it and the fact he went to gizmodo and sold it as such proves that he knew what he had. Gizmodo certainly knew it was stolen property under these circumstances and based upon its obvious understanding of Apple's practices. They told the guy it was ok and paid him the money. The cops should not have raided the editor's house but there was a crime of receiving stolen goods and theft of trade secrets in my opinion.
Dusty Chalk Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 Alright. I still don't want Jacob on my jury.
shellylh Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 I just don't see Jacob making it on a jury.
guzziguy Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 The shovel would be a little off-putting.
Knuckledragger Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 i'd take a big spoon with me, instead.
Dusty Chalk Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 i'm really not a fan of our nice little police state, i just think that hiding a pretty shitty act behind journalism is a shitty thing to do.You're also an apple fanboy.
Currawong Posted May 1, 2010 Report Posted May 1, 2010 Apple will take this as far as they can for the simple reason that, though they might cop some bad media publicity, letting Gizmodo get away with it will encourage others to try the same thing. They'll go to the guy who found the iPhone, show him the evidence and the law and give him the choice of telling everything down to the last detail to them or having the book thrown at him. Since he was an epic idiot, he'll cough up the details and Apple will spare him. Gizmodo shall not be spared shit, and even though they might cry and whinge, in a year they might be offline or sold after Apple crush them.
luvdunhill Posted May 3, 2010 Report Posted May 3, 2010 I decided to bite the bullet. The mini will arrive tomorrow.
n_maher Posted May 3, 2010 Report Posted May 3, 2010 I decided to bite the bullet. The mini will arrive tomorrow. Are you going to use it in conjunction with the NAS/media server thingy you bought last week?
luvdunhill Posted May 3, 2010 Report Posted May 3, 2010 Are you going to use it in conjunction with the NAS/media server thingy you bought last week? I'm planning to use it as my primary desktop, so not in a strictly HT use... The ReadyNAS can pretend to be a TimeCapsule which might be pretty sweet, we will have to see...
grawk Posted May 3, 2010 Report Posted May 3, 2010 I'm hoping that someone will eventually have a NAS product that has a real itunes server on it (that can feed appletvs)...that will let me ditch having a media server in favor of the nas device.

luvdunhill Posted May 3, 2010 Report Posted May 3, 2010 I'm having a damn hard time not pulling the trigger on the ReadyNAS. You still have some time on the rebates... I'll have mine up and running in the next couple days and can provide some feedback Grawk, never heard of an iTunes server, will have to read up on it...
n_maher Posted May 3, 2010 Report Posted May 3, 2010 You still have some time on the rebates... I'll have mine up and running in the next couple days and can provide some feedback That would be excellent.
oogabooga Posted May 3, 2010 Report Posted May 3, 2010 I'm hoping that someone will eventually have a NAS product that has a real itunes server on it (that can feed appletvs)...that will let me ditch having a media server in favor of the nas device. I don't have an AppleTV so I don't know if this would work, but Firefly Media Server (aka mt-daapd) streams from my WDTV to my MBP. They have flavours of the program for Linux, etc.
grawk Posted May 3, 2010 Report Posted May 3, 2010 the problem with streaming to the appletv is that you have to punch in a 5 digit code on the server (in this case, the nas) for them to sync.
luvdunhill Posted May 4, 2010 Report Posted May 4, 2010 grawk: it looks like the readynas can do what you want it to: "iTunes Streaming Server, enables iTunes clients to stream media files from the ReadyNAS."

Dusty Chalk Posted May 5, 2010 Report Posted May 5, 2010 30 bit?!?!? Huzzah. I think the Macbook Pro just bumped up to the top of my laptop short list. (Not for any reason other than MOAR BITSES.)
Grahame Posted May 5, 2010 Report Posted May 5, 2010 30 bit?!?!? Huzzah. I think the Macbook Pro just bumped up to the top of my laptop short list. (Not for any reason other than MOAR BITSES.) Let me know if you find any real world recordings with 180 dB Dynamic range
grawk Posted May 5, 2010 Report Posted May 5, 2010 or 120 but Dusty and I have had this conversation several times
