GoSpeak! Pro fold-out speakers give on-the-go presenters plenty of joy {Engadget}
Nov 9th 2009 10:38PM I have one of the original versions of these things on my repair bench right now, for the second time.
It's the biggest piece of shit I have ever seen come out of China. The thing is built like crap using the cheapest input jacks they could possibly locate (both the mic and line input 3.5mm jacks have broken), the cheapest chip amps, and the cheapest layout designer they could have possibly hired (the thing is a half way decent AM radio, but not intentionally).
Sprint launches Samsung Moment, Android empire expands by one {Engadget}
Nov 3rd 2009 10:08PM None. Because Sprint is stupid and won't let you upgrade your phone to the Hero, Moment, Pre, ect unless you move to a family "everything data" plan, which depending on the number of lines will cost you anywhere from $30 - $80 more a month.

Oct 12th 2009 7:10PM Am I the only one that doesn't understand the Android love-fest?
I've used Android devices and they're not any better performing, stable, or easy to use than a current WinMo 6.1 or 6.5 device.

Nikon D300s officially announced -- 720p/24 movie mode with autofocus and mic input {Engadget}
Jul 30th 2009 12:26AM Wow, nice one Nikon. You almost had me thinking that you'd done a serious update here.
Add in consumer level SD slot, so the masses can use their inferior cards. Check
Add gimicky video support, which aside from the inclusion of AF, is likely to be pretty much the same as what is found in the D90. Jello anyone? Check
Bump the non-gripped frame rate up to 7FPS, a speed it was always capable of before, yet still didn't bump it up all the way to 8FPS so you can sell grips. Check
Leave the rest of the camera the same. Check.
T-Mobile announces HTC Touch Pro2 for August 12 availability {Engadget}
Jul 29th 2009 3:17AM How exactly does one "turn up the wifi to max" on a Windows Mobile device? Last time I checked it was either on or off.
The $6,910 "best" headphone sound system: how can you afford your audiophile lifestyle? {Engadget}
Jul 15th 2009 5:16PM Yes, because tubes in a guitar amp, meant to distort and change the input signal are the same as tubes in a audio amplifier meant to pass signal with minimal distortion. Maybe we should all just start buying guitar amplifiers and using them for playback...
Please. Tubes suck, and I have absolutely no clue why people even consider them in "high end" amplifiers. A good solid state, high damping, simple A or AB amplifier using quality components destroy anything that uses tubes.
Oh well, I guess I need to remember that the same people running tube amps are usually the same people who think 4th order band pass designs are the greatest thing since sliced bread, and enjoy their 3' horns with smiles on their faces, while listening to scratched up vinyl on their $8,000 solid-brass turntable. I just don't understand it. Audiophile indeed...
Meanwhile, I'll continue living in my nice little niche of the audio world with my sealed box, low MMS/ Qts drivers, ribbon tweeters, and nice solid state amplifiers that actually have some control over the cones with minimal distortion, and an unfortunately small SACD and DVD-A collection.

No thank you.
