Sprint and Intel signing up Baltimore-area XOHM testers {Engadget}
Sep 24th 2008 10:15AM Sprint has a very strong presence in the D.C. Metro Area, so I am not surprised to see it pop up here. I attend Johns Hopkins so I am set when it comes to bandwidth, but I would still like to see how Sprint's XOHM network tests out. I've been using Sprint for years now, they should hook me up =).
Life with PlayStation delayed, destined to be free {Engadget}
Sep 1st 2008 4:53AM I have a theory that a lot of people hate the PS3 because you cannot play "backups" aka copied/downloaded/etc games on the system like you can the 360 and the Wii. It may not be the cause for all the anger, and it's not like the PS3 has a huge background of AAA titles, but I know some people hate it just because it hasn't been hacked.
Comcast set to begin bandwidth capping come October 1st {Engadget}
Aug 30th 2008 5:18AM Also you might want to check out Comcast's business plans once you get your line all straighten out if that is indeed the problem. With as much work as you are doing from home, it seems like your company should be paying for it. The business plan offers more than just higher speeds.

Aug 30th 2008 5:16AM Do you have multiple tv outlets in your house? Even if you didn't do the install yourself, you may be on a split cable. I recommand calling Comcast out to install a fresh line. I had to do this a couple years ago and the guy did a great job of putting a new couple from under the house to a 2nd story room where we keep our cable modem/routers/home server and NAS. It helped vastly, and now we can have as many TVs on without worrying about speed (heh each time someone would turn on a TV anywhere in the house, our ping/speed dropped badly because the line was split 5 ways).

Aug 30th 2008 5:10AM Sweds get 100mbit for dial up prices but they impose limits on all of their consumer accounts because they don't want people leasing out their line for other purposes or hammer their server constantly.

Aug 30th 2008 5:08AM You know, when Comcast makes these announcements, my area doesn't seem affected (which is kind of odd because I live in the suburbs of DC, which is almost Comcast's backyard). I've never experienced capping of any kind during the last few years. If anything it's annoying that they have increased there prices about 4 - 5 times for internet and digital TV. The cool part is we get HDTV DVRs for free for every TV and the internet speeds are much faster than as when we started (currently, 10mbit/1mbit, but the internet2 at college is a beast though [full gigabit ports/speed, w00t], sadly I don't live close enough to campus).
When Oct. comes around I'll do a mass loot of linux isos and see if I get capped/a phone call/etc.
60GB Xbox 360 shows up for preorder at Circuit City, two days later than Amazon {Engadget}
Jul 20th 2008 11:12PM Not really sure what you are talking about but this console will support component, composite as well as HDMI. I've been waiting a while now to buy a 360 and this seems like a good deal; however I am going to buy it at my local Gamestop and buy their warranty and probably pick up some used games while I'm at it (until the firmware on these drives get hacked too =p).
D-Link's Internet Surveillance kit lets you see two rooms over {Engadget}
Jul 15th 2008 12:44PM I haven't had much luck with D-Link. Before switching to Linksys/Cisco I tried one of their home routers and "ethernet to wifi" units and found the web interfacing horrid and setup to be a royal pain. This was 3 - 4 years ago, they may have improved greatly since then, but I am sticking to Linksys/Cisco for all of my professional and home routing needs (Linksys has been offering a line of wireless cameras for a while now... I don't know if they are any good, but I stand beind them as a brand).
