So, if I want to put out an app that shows people step-by step how to perform CPR, the Heimlich Maneuver, or other important First-Aid tasks, Apple will shut me down, huh?
That sucks.
Canon's Rebel XSi turns up in retail spy shot {Engadget}
Apr 11th 2008 2:34PM This is no big deal, I'm not sure why people get all worked up about it. "OMG OMG OMG THEY'RE SHIPPING A CAMERA THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO SHIP! QUICK! GET FUZZY CELLPHONE SPY SSHOTS OF THE BOX AND MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT!!!!11"
I've been playing with one for the past week at work. I like it well enough, though I personally liked having the ISO button on the back and the drive mode button on the top myself. High ISO noise in the images is nonexistent at normal ISO's, and still quite bearable even at ISO 1600. Some of the new features are kinda gadgety though... if I ever see someone shooting pictures with live view on an SLR as if they had a point-n-shoot, I'd be hard pressed to suppress the urge to beat them within an inch of their life with their own camera.
My rating? Good piece of kit, decent backup for a pro, great camera for the advanced amateur, I'd buy one today if I had the cash to spend on it. If you're more of a Joe Consumer, do yourself a favor and buy a point-n-shoot instead, I'd suggest the Canon S5-IS.

NASA's wiring guide -- only the most demanding geeks need apply {Engadget}
Feb 9th 2008 10:08PM Apparently your work is inferior, as that robot obviously has some screws and solder joints loose. I just wish you had commented out the SeekWMD() and BlowShitUp() functions before you started it up.

Feb 9th 2008 8:44PM Now I'm ashamed of my telephone wire speaker cables, chopped-twisted-scotchtaped crossover cable, and telephone line splitters used as splices. :(

Feb 2nd 2008 2:46PM I can assure you we are not monitoring your every move, Mr. Flashpoint. That would be ridiculous, invasive, and a breach of your privacy. The Government would never do something like that to a citizen, only to terrorists, subversives, and those who speak out against The American Way.
By the way, you have some ketchup on your shirt just there. No, the other side.

Jan 31st 2008 10:56PM @skulldriveshaft: That's EXACTLY what my first thought was. What an unfortunate name for a HDD backup for photographers. It would be a cool name for a gaming peripherals company, but I'm not going to buy a hard drive to back my pics up on that has a name that reads "Next To Die"
