Nah, I'm not really into Pokemon.
Jessica spent $2300.00 at Best Buy
|-> Mark hey, Jess.. what did you get?
|--> Jessica oh I bought a LCD TV and a Blu-ray player for my new place.

soon after...

..in local news, a young lady was robbed of all her electronic items which she purchased.
@Taylor - Actually I don't know where you work, but usually my boss is trying to cut down costs. I don't know where you pick even a $600 base unit from. That would be a pretty decent setup with a gaming gfx card etc and nobody would be gaming on this kind of system. A simple unit that could do this job can be had for $300 + 4x $100 cameras = $700 + $100 monitor + Win OS $80 + free software (vitamindinc.com) = $880 total cost. Nearly a $1000 saving compared to this ArcherFish ripoff. Not to mention they force you to pay $8 a month to be connected to them online so that the system "works", stop paying $8 a month and your system stops working - so thats another $96 every year in cost which is absolutely laughable at this point given they are asking for $1700 upfront. Forget the cameras trying to find thieves - the thieves are ArcherFish themselves!
Yo AT&T, I'm really happy for you, I'm gonna let you finish, but Verizon has one of the best coverages of all time...one of the best of ALL TIME!!!
Flip are fast becoming the Apple of the pocket video cam market. They charge more than the competition, but the competition has better spec. Rather than adding nonsense like wifi, Flip would do better to push for 1080p video recording, better battery life, better software (both in the device & the deskop) and most of all, lowering their prices.

It really irks me that after recording several small clips in mp4, the join feature in the software isnt a join at all. It basically re-encodes the selection as one big wmv file! Why? If avi being a container format can be split and joined WITHOUT re-encoding, then surely it cannot be that difficult to do it for mp4 keeping the mp4 format. So in keeping the quality during the encoding process, you now end up with a wmv file 5-6 times bigger than the mp4 files you original started with - not to mention the times wasted for re-encoding something that doesn't need to be re-encoded to begin with.
All you do is complain about bittorrent - well guess what? nobody else does! Must be awfully lonely in your mums basement with your VHS tapes and 8 track.. der_tuxman, party of one.
No, because there is a horizontal side and a vertical side. So if you take the VERTICAL side - there are 1080 lines coming out from that side (left to right/right to left). Even though technically the lines are horizontal, you count how many lines there are from top to bottom (1080) and top to bottom happens to be the VERTICAL plane, so that is why you say 1080 lines of VERTICAL resolution.
Oh geez relax! You make it seem like Microsoft did nothing. They implemented the code they thought would be okay, but someone bypassed it - is that really any shock? With your comment, you probably believe that nothing else has ever been broken. Apples App Store IPAs - cracked, Blu-Ray - cracked, Consoles/Portable Game Systems - cracked, DRM Video/Audio - cracked, Mac/PC Software, PC Games - all cracked. Everytime someone cracks DRM/Anti-piracy measures doesn't mean that the company that implemented it was lazy or the quality was shit. At the end of the day - it is just one persons coding against another.
Wow, Microsoft fans bashing Microsoft fans... I bet the Apple fanboys are loving this!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
