1. Ever since the original Oakley Thump was released a few years ago, we've seen the design move closer towards a look that completely integrates their Thump technology into a design that looks just like a pair of your favorite Oakley shades. Split Thump inches closer to that goal with a design that features removable headphones and buttons which are cleverly integrated into the Oakley "O" logo. Split Thump also features MP3/WMA/AAC compatibility, 8 hours of battery life, and will be available in 512MB to 2GB storage sizes. [$250-$400]

    When you download videos from here (Asso's posts for example) or Spiral's blog, they're nearly all in Avi format. How do I get them so I can watch them (and please bear in mind I'm on a Mac)?

    Any help would be great?

    Seems we all have a consensus over the Mac.
    I suspect they'll update AppleTV as I gather it's not been selling well and they'll want to consolidate their position with Vista under-performing.
    Given the option at present I'd put the Mac Mini under the TV with an Elgato TV or integrated digital in the TV. Bluetooth the keyboard and mouse, infrared remote. Internet, DVD, iTunes. Job done. Not sure why Apple don't push this more.
