I prefer Directv at the moment, but the new TiVo has me swooning....

It'd be nice to finally have an auto-focusing webcam on the PC side though.

Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000 reviewed

What about NOT under $60. I would say Apple's iSight is probably the top web cam with it's autofocus and all, but it don't work so well under XP. What would we gather is the Top webcam on the PC side? Is is this new Microsoft one or something else out there?

Google: not gonna do music

Don't even bother clicking on the "What's google audio" link.

If you'd done your homework at all you'd see that the Google Audio has NOTHING to do with gMusic.

Engadget even posted an article about the story.

How-To: Theater or studio acoustic treatments

Apr 5th 2006 10:35AM on Engadget

While not really acoustically rated ideally for this purpose, the pink stuff will work MUCH better if you put the paper side TOWARDS the fabric. It may seem counterintuitive, but it will act as a better overall sound absorbsion panel without sucking out ALL the highs and nothing else.

Pioneer's DVD players with HDMI, SACD, and DivX support

Mar 28th 2006 11:50AM on Engadget

#4 You do realize that SACD is an AUDIO format? Firewire would do you no good. The only way to listen to it IS analog as there are very few D/A's that could even decode the imformation (of course that assumes a modified player) In Fact, unlike DVD-Audio, there is NO video information present on an SACD. I'll be happy to finally be able to listen to all the nice hybrid discs that I have sitting around. Mmmm... Hi-Res Audio :P

Sony's VGP-XL1B2 200 DVD changer for HTPCs

Mar 24th 2006 11:38PM on Engadget

I'm just really annoyed these changers only hold 200 discs. I mean Sony's own carosels hold 400 discs. The mechanisms can't be all that different, it's basically the tray that determines how many discs. For $800 no less... Guess I'll be holding onto my daisy-chained Pioneers a little longer. . .

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
