Best Buy selling hoarded PS3s tomorrow morning {Joystiq}
Dec 30th 2006 9:02PM Costco in Austin, TX had 6 of them as of yesterday and the manager said they'd been there for a few days. Nice enough deal I suppose; 60gb, extra controller and some random game for $699.
The rush of guilt-stricken parents deperate to buy them for their snot-nosed kids is past. All these things are going to do is gather dust.
JVC HA-NC80 noise-canceling 'phones rock dual-mode style {Engadget}
Nov 28th 2006 12:16AM Sorry, but there are no technologies that will filter out random noise like human conversations. The best you can do is mask it with a white noise generator or something more exotic like this http://www2.hermanmiller.com/global/canada/english/news_articles/pdf/QuietTechnologyProductEssay.pdf
PVR owners watch less, not more {PVR Wire}
Jul 30th 2006 12:03PM This makes complete sense. I watch considerably less than I did before having a PVR, even after factoring in commercial skipping. This is primarily due to my willingness to skip a bad show because I know I have something else already recorded and to the fact that I no longer watch TV on impulse. I control the TV now, not the other way around.
Viva la TIVO!!!

Althought "Champing" is the original usage, "Chomping" is fine. Look it up.
Love my DirecTV HD Tivo, and I not about to switch to cable, but I certainly wish they'd do something about the limited, and outdated, feature set.
Nintendo Wii -- the Revolution gets a real name {Engadget}
Apr 27th 2006 4:54PM What a PITA!
Now every time I tell my kids to take a "wee" before we leave the house, ther're going to run off and grab the Nintendo.
Samsung Blu-ray player delayed until June? {Engadget}
Mar 29th 2006 9:53AM What they said.
I've been an early adopter of almost every new technogy since CDs (remember those?), including my very slick 1080P HDTV set. Despite that, and my inital excitement, this one is looking more and more look like something I'm going to sit out for another couple of years. Not only that, I was orignally anticipating purchasing a second 1080P display and Media Center PC to at the same time, it's starting to look like they'll all wait a wee bit longer.
The CE manufacturers are really scr*ewing themselves over with this debacle.
Nikon D200 and Canon EOS 5D in online grudge match {Engadget}
Mar 28th 2006 9:40AM Two amazing cameras - $4,900
Lenses - $15,000
Tripod, flash, memory, etc. - $4,000
The talent required to take pictures any better than what you'd get with a point-and-shoot - Priceless
Unless you're a professional (and even for 99.5% of professionals) the choice comes down to personal preference. They both have capabilites that are far beyond the abilites of probably anyone weighting in on this thread (including me and my D200).
Revolution to emulate Genesis and TurboGrafx {Engadget}
Mar 24th 2006 2:00PM I already have 2 PSPs and and xbox360 (both disappointments) and orginally had no intention of getting a Revolution. The more I read, however, the more it sounds like the real winner of next-gen console war will be the Nintendo.
TiVo undelete forthcoming! {Engadget}
Jan 25th 2006 2:03PM Of course, as always, those of us who spent $$$$$ to purchase the latest and greatest DirecTV HD DVR (with Tivo) won't see any of this.
Blah!!!
Linksys' WAP54GP and WAP54GPE Power over Ethernet wireless network extenders {Engadget}
Jan 21st 2006 10:06AM I hope the price for PoE switches or power injectors has come down. PoE is an awesome idea, but last time I checked the switches cost a fortune.
