The grow fine for 1-2 months, then they wilt from a pesky fungus carried by the cucumber beetle. I try not to do too much to kill off bugs…except these guys.

]]> Comment on Apple TV, Take 2 - Now how much would you pay? by Mike http://surferboi.com/2008/01/19/apple-tv-take-2-now-how-much-would-you-pay/#comment-14 Mike Tue, 22 Jan 2008 19:31:52 +0000 http://surferboi.com/2008/01/19/apple-tv-take-2-now-how-much-would-you-pay/#comment-14 Part:2 ~ The AppleTV covers a lot of ground, but it doesn't do it all for me - where's the DVR? We still have a long way to go with media convergence in a single box we can hook up to our TVs. Apple may get us there... but I am left waiting for a little more. Then again, I'd prefer that my TV have this all built-in. Part:1 ~ With respect to your GSM/CDMA comments... I don't care about the technology, I just want to buy any device and place it on any network. I don't wanna pay fees to switch providers. Cell phone companies need to understand that regardless of how they change the technology, they are in a commodity market. Their purpose in life is to provide bandwidth for a class of device to send and receive data. Once you have a network providing connectivity and bandwidth, device makers make phones that do things. If your device wants to act like a phone, then it has to operate like any telephone and within that industries standards. If its trying to be a web browser, then it should operate like a web browser within the open standards of the web. Same for video and audio media. Make it and and extend it however you want so long as you operate on standards. No one's special sauce should keep a user from taking that phone to another carrier if they want to.
