Bad Photo of the Day (8/31/06) {Gadling}
Aug 31st 2006 9:20PM I like to use Neat Image (they have a free version). Here is what you get with auto settings and a slight tweak of brightness using Picasa (also free):

Pentax announces Optio S7 {Engadget}
Jul 25th 2006 9:53PM Agreed, I bought the optio (Altoids size) and while it looked cool, great interface etc. I could not get it produce decent pictures. It went back and I like my bulkier Canon better.

what channel delivers 1080i currently in North America?
Pioneer releases 50-inch, 1080p PRO-FHD1 plasma {Engadget}
Jul 13th 2006 9:35PM I am currently surfing the net with a 1280p monitor (it's 19"...) monitors look best when using their native resolution so no pixel scaling is needed.
720 converted to 1080 does not always look so swell.
Pioneer releases 50-inch, 1080p PRO-FHD1 plasma {Engadget}
Jul 13th 2006 8:36PM HD isn't pointless, this 1080p native HD TV is. Until broadcasters start shooting and distributing in 1080p (none do now).
Perhaps blue-ray DVD's will speed things along but in the meantime, broadcasters don't have the bandwidth for 1080p and have already made huge investments in lesser compressed versions of 'HD'.
Snappy's HAVA Video Streamer {Engadget}
Jul 3rd 2006 4:52PM The article mentioned a built in tuner as something special - the Slingbox also has a built in one and can select between it, a video in and an s-video input for multiple devices. Sling has remote control codes for almost anything and more are added all the time.
As the owner of an ugly/wacky looking Slingbox I can say you should compare actual performance and device compatibility before you buy. If you want Porsche design, buy a Porsche.
The positive attributes of Slingbox are many and not all obvious at first - do your homework before you buy something like this.
Stuart - very happy with Slingbox and it gets better as features are added.
Trade in your worn-out gun for a shiny new computer {Engadget}
Jan 28th 2006 8:36PM #19 You said it. Smug American views on guns/violence etc are ironic at best and kill innocent people at worst.
