With UPS's I would rather pay the extra few bucks to get a ups from a reputable company, than run the risk of having one crap out on me. My resoning behind this is that I was using some noname ups for my computer, and before I had a single power outage the thing just decides to shut and flash the 'return to dealer' ligh code.

I have a new source of cheep ups...

Just be careful that it will probably need a new battery soon (even if they say it is a new one, it still usually needs to be replaced) which can be had on ebay or from http://www.refurbups.com/
I would prefer nessus and aircrack running on hx4700, perhapse with a little metasploit action for good measure... At least it would only cost 1/15 as much ($250 for the hx4700...)

but I suppose if you have money to burn...
This was on Hack A Day a week ago...
Umm, concrete isn't pure cement... It is has rocks/sand mixed in. Get your facts strait!

I also think that the feet of the sub looks sorta dangerous/painful with that block of concrete on it...

Also, I am pretty sure that a concrete casing won't help the midrange speakers... The sub maybe, but not the satellites.
I like how if this device were running some type of windows OS you guys would totally rip on it for being so underpowered with its measly 256mb of ram and 300mhz processor, but since it is made by apple is 1/4GIGABYTE of ram and 350MEGAHERTS processor is totally sufficient for the job.



I wonder if we will be able to get the main processor running at full speed and get some decent wireless functionality out of it when we finally get Linux running on it... If it would work as an a client for mythtv I might consider buying it.
This will only help the people stupid enough to use a really weak password on an account that is tired to their bank, or enter the password to said account into a phishing site.

But it does nothing to prevent the paypal scams that drive the majority of the people away from paypal.
I think that Paul needs a new idea as to what is sexy...


See kids, this is what will happen if you grow up to be an editor for a tech blog...

So now having hdmi/dvd (they are the same thing, remember), and composite covers any TV out there? What happened to the like 98% of all tv's in existance that only have s-video, or even those ones that only have a RF in...
you haven't had many cingular phones have you? They don't let you use dial up networking to anyone other than their extremely pricey ISP. If that isn't crippling it I don't know what is.
guys, you must remember no paypal = not good

People don't refuse paypal for no reason, it is always they they scamed someone and got their account frozen or that they don't want to give the buyers any chance to get their money back.

But Mr. Bad had it coming, he forgot the first 3 rules of selling stolen goods; don't use your real name, wait a while before selling it, and remove the serial number! At least he remembered to not use paypal and to not do the sale in person...
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
