Wtf ? who is that in the front seat...? noone else noticed?



SPC-900NC is by far the best webcam I ever had so I don't understand your problem with it... could be a driver/documentation issue?

Mine is definitely not stuck in 320x240 and while I haven't meassured the frame rate, I doubt it is only 15 FPS...

Is everyone crazy regarding the digital picture frames???

They are a very cool idea and I would love to have one, but they all lack the most crucial solution: E-ink!! (or similar technology)

Since, who wants a photo frame that :
- Works like a lamp? "honey can you turn off the pictures, I can't sleep..."
- Needs cables?? "hmmm... nice place for a picture, but how are we getting a cable there?"
- Or, have to be turned on/off regularly to save batteries... should you now "turn on" your "paintings" when you have visitors etc? come on...
- Pulls electricity constantly! in these days... after all a normal LCD/TFT pulls like a lamp (albeit low-energy), would you leave them on 24/7??

All these things could be solved very nicely with E-ink type of technology, why haven't anyone done something like that yet?
Probably too expensive yet I guess... but, until that happens this whole digital picture frame thing is pretty useless I think..
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
