this is interesting because it means (to me) that apple has finally got to the point where they feel confident enough that we (the users) aren't going to notice the cpu load of handling everything as part of a rel db (well obviously since we all play along with iTunes already).
I'm slightly more interested in rumors about the inclusion of a Torrent client as part and parcel of 10.5.

I don't consider it to be that big of a deal... Your average 10.x.x point update runs over 50MB and Apple has to pay for that bandwidth just like everyone else. Being able to distribute that out in exchange for some iTunes credit makes a lot of sense.
I believe it's unlikely that the "torrent" components will be extensible out to developers. Back during the Rhapsody developer meetings there was a lot of talk about being able to hook into OS X's software update engine and use it as a general application updater but then Apple decided not to.

I'm syncing it and I notice that 'mdimport' is taking up a lot of cpu time. I go and check and SPOTLIGHT INDEXING IS ENABLED ON MY IPOD WTF?!!??!
So to turn it off:
sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/iPodNameHere
seems faster

When you turn Spotlight off for the disk, it makes a file to tell it not to index that. And that file takes up just enough space that you can't image an system install disk to it. Grrrr.

Still is a pisser that it takes up space on a tiny disk, just trying to tell it not to take up space.

obviously, this bugs me.
even though titanium is soft enough to bend that much when i drop it, i'm having no luck bending it back into place (maybe i'm not using the right tool??)
obv this isn't covered by applecare, since they don't cover "accident". any way i can trick them into fixing it??

So as it stands, I’m out $400 (which as a poor college student, I’d like back)
If you can't afford to be out $400 (+ the price of whatever laptop you'll replace that one with) you are not budgetting proper.

Turns out all I have to do is bring my receipt to the Apple Store, they'll do a 1:1 exchange and add whatever iPod I want to the receipt so I can get a rebate.
