FYI, that will just let you access the contents of the Optical Disk. Apple's Remote Disc feature lets you use the Remote Drive as your machine's own.

U mean you can read & burn DVDs using remote disk????????

Hey, I M doing that since ages on a network shared DVD writer with Nero 4 & above

A secondary computer shouldn't have to connect to networks.

That's teh most lamest comment I have ever read

I don't know about you but even my technologically challenged friends have common sense enough to bring stuff to me in pen drives.

Ya....but not everyone has friends like u na....damn, I need to buy new friends now///

U never know, u won't...I might need to. What if someone gives me files on a DVD while i m on the move???

And what if someone asks you to marry him on the move? Will you whip out a wedding ring right away and get on with it? I'm assuming you like to be prepared for any eventuality at all when you're going to your office in your car!

Plz contact zeeshan for this. ...he had about 300 GB of Movies & Videos, now archiving them on an external HD of 280 GB would cost about Rs 5,000 but archiving them on 65 DVDs would cost him Rs 975.

I don't know about you or Zeeshan but give me a single external hard disk over 65 friggin' DVDs any day of the week!

the blogging money u get now which is more like pocket money

Answer this honestly. Please!
How much do you earn today? And how much did you earn when you were nineteen? And what did you earn that doing? And what do you do today? Please answer all this honestly!

How thick is one DVD compared to one external HD?

How much can you fit in that DVD and how much time does it take to write to it and how easy is it to change its contents (if at all possible) and how reliable is it?

Then reduce the damn price, $1800 for a secondry computer...which lacks a LAN port...u gotta be kidding me, EEE PC looks like a better secondry computer to me.

Then buy it.

why macboys want to buy the air:

At Giz, we're only tormented inside because we still want to buy it, despite it being not all that practical.

now this is a common feeling in every macboy no matter what they say

Depends on the gal

How much do you earn today?

Rs 0, exhausted all my previous savings on studies. Got 8k on my bank account right now...that's all.

And how much did you earn when you were nineteen? And what did you earn that doing?

Rs 4k to 16k a month depending on the work I used to do as a freelance graphics & CAD designer. Bought my Bike & K750i from the savings.

And what do you do today?

Preparing for GD & PI, flirting with gal friends....preparing for MAT February///among other things

How much can you fit in that DVD

4.5 GB

and how much time does it take to write to it

10 mins max for writting 4.5 GB & verifying it.

how easy is it to change its contents

DVD RW costs Rs 50 here, just format it & add/remove contents from it. Can be used about 50 60 times like this.

(if at all possible) and how reliable is it?

How reliable is an HD???? It can die anytime, the motar can break...or some accident which happened with your external HD...Don't compare reliability, nothing is 100% reliable.

Then buy it.

Nah....W960i is all Need instead of EEE PC

At Giz, we're only tormented inside because we still want to buy it, despite it being not all that practical.

Lolz....correct

W960i. So this is what it has come down to huh folks! W960i. I give up. That doesn't mean that I won't be getting the Macbook Air...

Fine u get it, good luck with multiple machines, syncing them frequently etc

Re: Apple MWSF 2008 - MacBook Air, iPod touch, iPhone, Apple TV & iTunes Store update

For what's it's worth, it does not need to be synced or anything. It runs the full fledged Mac OS X Leopard operating system.

And you still have the gall to post comments like this one: "the blogging money u get now which is more like pocket money"!

I don't know how much you spend per month but Rs. 20K/month aint no pocket money for me. Please don't make me open my mouth. Generally, I'm not one to boast about anything I own or do.

Coming back to the topic, just STFU already. I'll post a rate chart from Ars Technica comparing several ultra-portables when I have the time later to write up a proper post to accompany it.

I have the bolded items permanently connected.

When your notebook is on a freaking desk! If you're going to buy a MacBook Air with the intention to keep it on a desk for prolonged period, IT IS NOT FOR YOU!

Only the most morbid idiot would connect a mouse, keyboard, camera and TV Tuner (for crying out loud!) when they're in a car going to their office and want to check out their email. Yes, I know you can do it on your crappy cellphone but some people, like me, prefer the real estate that a notebook offers. Not to mention that it's just one example.

And, in any case, the whole discussion is inherently useless because you are not its targeted audience. You, and iMav and others tightwads like you guys, are not the potential Apple customers, for any of their products, so why do you have to keep commenting on them. Go use your $50 briefcase-sized laptop and $2 brick-sized phone, connect them with fifteen wires and hook them up with TV tuners and card readers and install Windows on anything and everything. Go do your thing. Why do you have to keep commenting on Apple related threads when you're not interested in the company's products!

My God!

Somebody is loosing calm....Control arya...control

IT IS NOT FOR YOU!

THEN WHO IS IT FOR :D...No one can use it properly.

when they're in a car going to their office and want to check out their email.

How??? in a car???? I guess using a mobile phone's internet, thre goes the only USB port

Yes, I know you can do it on your crappy cellphone

W960i & crappy it's better then your iPhone

but some people, like me, prefer the real estate that a notebook offers. Not to mention that it's just one example.

Lolz....come out of the Apple world boy

I just went through the keynote. I must say it was one of the best keynotes ever (maybe THE best). Each and every one of those introduced were awesome.

I'm also really freaked out about the AppleTV! I know we don't even have an iTunes store out here, but the ease of renting a movie has been taken to a new level. Apple makes me wish I was in the US (but then again, the rest of the americans make me thankful I'm here)

Re: Apple MWSF 2008 - MacBook Air, iPod touch, iPhone, Apple TV & iTunes Store update

i got to say apple tv updates are really cool .... i mean even my mom can easily rent movies (saves me the hassle of calling or going down)

Re: Apple MWSF 2008 - MacBook Air, iPod touch, iPhone, Apple TV & iTunes Store update

... if the features were available to Indians, which they aren't!

Apple actually sells the Apple TV in India. What the Hell are they thinking! Who will want to buy one!

 

[goobimama]

Re: Apple MWSF 2008 - MacBook Air, iPod touch, iPhone, Apple TV & iTunes Store update

The Apple Store Goa has sold 1 Apple TV.
(I think it has an MRP of 27k which can come down to 23k or something)

 

[gxsaurav]

Re: Apple MWSF 2008 - MacBook Air, iPod touch, iPhone, Apple TV & iTunes Store update

Who will want to buy one!

Milind Alvares & Aayush Arya will sure buy it

Re: Apple MWSF 2008 - MacBook Air, iPod touch, iPhone, Apple TV & iTunes Store update

I actually thought ( after seeing the maintenance sign on Apple India's Store ) that we might see something positive there. But nope

Atleast give us iTunes. Not everyone has a friend who has an iTunes account.
Also, I really wanted to go ahead and buy the MacBook. But since they've still kept it all white, I will have to wait it seems.

2. Now the news:
Confirmed: Change Your System Time, Watch Your iTunes Rentals Forever

Movie rentals from iTunes 7.6? Awesome. That pesky 24-hour viewing window once you've started the film? Not so much. And even if you get a little trigger-happy and click play only two MB into the download, the self-destruct timer activates. What if you need just a little bit more time? Or maybe a whole lot more time. We'd heard you could extend the doomsday clock by toying around with your system's date/time. We tested it and it's true. There is, of course, a catch or two. Update: New and improved methodology.

Re: Apple MWSF 2008 - MacBook Air, iPod touch, iPhone, Apple TV & iTunes Store update

Or why not just hit the bittorrent networks?

@Praka: No thoughts on the crippling DRM? I mean, just cause AppleTV is the only HDCP enabled device, the viewer is not allowed to watch the rented HD movie on his Mac or PC.
