• $149 for a 6 foot HDMI cable? Don't get caught up in the hype while you're buying that new HDTV. (My $18 HDMI cable works just fine.) • The return of the missing viewer pix! • Don't leave your iPod in your car: good reminder, Daniel! (Not so good ideas about DL.TV on the dashboard, tho.) • Think your workstation is cool? Check out the endstation Karen uses at the synchrotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. She says, "basically, I use highly focused x-rays to probe the structure of deformed metals. I use a white-beam, or polychromatic, x-ray technique and capture Laue diffraction patterns on the large-area CCD in the picture." Cool! • Safari Browser for Windows: Mark, Stephen, Chad, and everyone else... we're on it. • How to make Opera (IE or Firefox) your default browser. This one's for Andrew. • Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard"Anybody want to loan us an install disk from the WWDC to check out? In the meantime, here's Jobs favorite 10 features from the 300 or so promised. • Broadbandreports.com is where Patrick finds his speed tests. • You're right, Rudy, tape backup isn't dead, but we're still more into hard drives.
