Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"We need a digital camera that can be switched on and fire off that first shot fast. It's not a commonly tracked statistic on any review site, and nobody seems to have this information for every camera. We were hoping other readers could inform us as to what small digital cameras can fire off their first pics in under a second (ideally under half a second). It needs to be small, but mostly, just really quick in operation. Thanks!"
Well then, there is no need for me to ever explore this gadget subject again! Master Jedi Dan knows from EXPERIENCE that [all] Toshiba Hardware Sucks!
This is the kind of thing that gets my goat, you get someone who presumably has a problem with a couple pieces of hardware, and the next thing, IT SUCKS!!11!
"Trust me, I know from experience" That's really funny....coming from a dude who calls himself Master Jedi Dan.
Anti-Toshiba fanboys, Anti-apple fanboys, Anti-Microsoft fanboys....you're all a bunch of little whinging bitches. How about assessing individual products on their MERITS (or lack thereof) as opposed to some reactionary pseudo anti-consumerist rhetoric, or better still, an immature brand attachment that marketing firms would murder children for, in order to be able to bottle it and sell it.
The manufacturing companies just laugh and count their Yen/Yuan/Dollars. And so they should.
Man, I need a coffee or something.
Ok dude, now I will make my point because you just have to whine about this. I have a one-year old Toshiba Satellite laptop. Recently, (as in the past couple years), Toshiba has made some terrible hardware. First of all, most of the Toshiba laptops that they have made in the past two or three years have a problem with static electricity. They build up static electricity very easily and then they just shut off. The computer doesn’t go through “Windows is shutting down”, or anything like that, it’s just like boom, it’s off. This gets really annoying when you’re playing a game, or writing a paper, or ripping a dvd, etc., and then your computer just turns itself off. Very helpful feature. Toshiba got sued because of this defect in their laptops and everyone who owns one of them got another year of warranty starting Nov. 6 2006. Secondly, my Toshiba laptop has a 3.33 GHz Pentium 4. Because Toshiba poorly made the hardware in my laptop, it quickly overheats and turns itself off in the same manner as it does with the static electricity. I can’t use a cooling pad or anything like that because it heats up on the top, not the bottom, so if I was to use a cooling pad a third of the keyboard would be covered. As of now, I have to have the windows in my room open so that my computer doesn’t heat up and turn itself off. If you haven’t noticed lately, it’s winter, so it makes it very annoying when my room temperature is 40 degrees F just to keep my computer from turning itself off. I have sent it in to Toshiba to see if they could fix this problem; they replaced the fans but unfortunately this has not changed anything. So I ask you, would you be really hacked off if your computer turned itself off every hour unless you opened up the window in your room just to keep it from shutting off?
