Really? Can you put textbooks on it like everyone seems to ask?

Not yet, I'm sure the textbook companies are withholding rights from Amazon due to their insane revenue from selling textbooks. The companies would lose a lot of revenue, and unfortunately...money runs the world.

It suuuuuuuuure would be fabulous if they'd loosen up.

Unfortunately for us, there are no other avenues for customers to get their books other than from the publishers. Textbook producers don't need to worry about piracy like record labels, so it makes it a lot harder for Amazon to get their support than it is for Apple to get a record label on iTunes.

If you had LOTS of time, could you theoretically scan a textbook and output to a PDF??

Theoretically.

Wanna get started? ;)

Maybe Amazon could work out a deal where the textbooks themselves come with a free downloadable copy. They lose no money that way, they just need to worry about piracy.

Think that pipe is low enough?

Looks good, but I would want that stuffed up a little more so it doesn't get crushed.

Thats what i was thinking. The pipe kind of ruins the purpose of it being an off road vehicle, seeing as the ground clearance is now significantly less.

A Subaru Forester can beat a 350Z in a dragrace? :confused: Wow.
Lots of cars can beat a 350z.. They are not the fastest car;)
Though pretty sure the cobb kit ups the boost, gives it a new (more aggressive) tune, and exhaust..... Gives around an extra 75hp or some thing like that.
Subaru XT stock(I assume XT because he added a boost gauge), 225HP.. plus an extra 75 hp.. 300 HP, AWD launch that best and it will give it a nice head start, hard for quite a few performance cars to keep up :cool:

Just purchased this online from the Apple Store. I'm hoping I can use it with my WD external drives so I don't have to keep plugging them into my MacBook.

You can, it's just really slow. I hooked mine up via USB 2.0 and it took forever to back up so I went back to plugging it into my MacBook directly.

The first backup was really slow when I did this, but after that it was acceptable whenever it would do time machine backups over wireless.

I went to Circuit City for the first time last night to pillage whatever might be left. Spotted this guy for $62.00 right as I was about to leave.
