Not only does it imply that every reader should be aware of the President your government has decided to place on your $100 note in order to read your story, but it stutters the flow of your article and does not provide a short cut (Benj-and-a-half vs. $150). I'm also not trying to be an ass, and I know you try to be snarky and use satire, but, Benjamin is not witty and it does not make you seem relaxed and cool. If you'd use it once, then maybe yes. Now, it's just annoying, sorry to say. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[catachip]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 21st 2006 1:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ultra Product's 8GB SDHC hits for $150]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/21/ultra-products-8gb-sdhc-hits-for-150/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/21/ultra-products-8gb-sdhc-hits-for-150/</guid><description><![CDATA[These writers also use slang terms for British currency which actually resulted in my looking up exactly how the system worked and the values of various bits.<br><br>I learned something.

I picked up a 1 gig SD card about 6 months back becuase after rebate it was $10 (that's 1/10th of a Benjamin, for those keeping track). Worst SD card I've ever owned. When (trying) to use with my Canon camera, it would only work the first time you turned the camera on. After that (subsequent power-ons), it would give me a memory card error (and yes, I tried formatting directly in the camera). After that, the only way to record images again was to eject the card and put it back in.<br><br>Returned the card and had a second shipped out immediately, which produced the exact same results.<br><br>Not worth the time/hassle for a card that doesn't work.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[matt]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 21st 2006 2:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ultra Product's 8GB SDHC hits for $150]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/21/ultra-products-8gb-sdhc-hits-for-150/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/21/ultra-products-8gb-sdhc-hits-for-150/</guid><description><![CDATA[By the way readyboost does support external card readers, I'm using it right now.

There seems to be more products out there that are not only better but cheap as well. As far as catachip and some/rest of you are concerned....So he didn't know that he was a president, well so what? Many Americans can not even tell you what the second or first parts of the constitution, or tell you many other fact. Second, directly to catachip get over it, its a blog. I hate to say this, but if your annoyed then stop reading. It is a freaken blog, and who gave you the right to express you feelings on how the author can or cant right? The constitution, but you don't live here. Moral of the story? Don't get "irritated" because so author of some blog used the word Benjamin. If your getting made at him for trying to be witty as well, you might as well get mad at hip hop artists that use that word, they are trying to be witty. We have two different cultures, and two different ideas of what witty is. Sorry to be off topic, thats all i have to say.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Aaron]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 29th 2006 2:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ultra Product's 8GB SDHC hits for $150]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/21/ultra-products-8gb-sdhc-hits-for-150/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/21/ultra-products-8gb-sdhc-hits-for-150/</guid><description><![CDATA[I meant not a president]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Aaron]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 29th 2006 2:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ultra Product's 8GB SDHC hits for $150]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/21/ultra-products-8gb-sdhc-hits-for-150/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/21/ultra-products-8gb-sdhc-hits-for-150/</guid><description><![CDATA[Point taken. I re-read the post, and it was pretty incoherent and rambling. I'll apologize for that. I do, however, stand by the fact that I was/am annoyed by Thomas' constant use of the slang for the US $100 bill - if only because he uses it so much that he drives it into the ground. But it's enough on that issue. I also apologize for my ignorance of Benjamin Franklin as NOT being a US President. I am Canadian, and we generally take pride in our knowledge of world history - of course, I would be impressed to find many Americans who know a single thing about Canadian history. But that is an issue of absurdly American-centric history cirriculum in the U.S. education system that I don't want to get in to, nor should be discussed in a tech blog about memory cards. I do fear this post has begun to ramble again, and of course, I do apologize - once again - for that. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[catachip]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 31st 2006 3:53AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
