There is no TV from Apple, that's pre-vaporware. Apple TV is a shipping product, and a relatively successful one. It really is pretty cool, we like ours, we rent movies on that more than from the cable tv company mainly because the interface is so much cooler to use.

Squawk's Becky Quick was wearing red for the Devils' win last night. Sorry, New Yorkers.

I like my TiVo, and it's not vaporware. The only thing it doesn't do is streaming stuff from iTunes, but I don't do much of that anyway.

Heh. This weekend past, just as I was heading out on my ride, I got an email from Stava that one of my KOMs had been beaten.

Guess which route I took?

Poor bastard had it for an hour before I took 5 min out of him. I'm a Strava bully.

do you run a compact just for the weight savings?

Sram does appear to have gotten this stuff right. My local pal Sandy who reps them is raving about it, and he never steers you wrong on bike crap (unlike the axe grinding fan boys like Solo here). Interested in test riding this stuff one of these days. Oh, by the way, when I mentioned the problems with the old Red FD and asked Sandy if the new improved FD addressed them, his response was 'yes, finally thank God'. So I believe Solo this time.

But let's face it, it's no Di2.

Actually, it would be fascinating to see what Sram would do with electronic shifting. They have said they don't have it in the works, but that's pretty hard to believe.

Memo to Solo: weight doesn't matter that much. God help us with this guy. Let's hope he doesn't hurt himself with those stupid guns.

Translation: Justification for - Newer. Shinier. More gadgety.

Aside from the drone of Di2 in this forum, what are the pros saying who actually use this technology to its full potential?

The weight sucks, but the improvement in functionality is worth it. At least it isn't Di2 heavy.

Speaking of Di2. I was watching the Giro the other day, and a pro using Di2 dropped his chain in the middle of the race. So apparently electric isn't perfect.

Note to self, a good business idea: make something really sucky, and then fixed it and make it heavier and charge an arm and leg for the new thing...

But I fell for it, and plunked down $130 for the new YAW FD, and the happier for it.
