Nothing special here. If you buy one of these for a PC, it comes it comes in a different color and costs less then $50, oh and has been on the market for years.

If someone knows of one for mac that is ~$50 post it here, I would like to have my old mac mini stream security camera feeds.
120Hz TVs were not designed for a faster refresh rate, just for the sake of a faster refresh rate.
Too bad most marketing departments, and the general public have no clue about this.

They were designed to play 24fps video without any frame interpolation.
ALL Blu-ray disks play their video at 24FPS, which is the the same speed that films are recorded at.

If you do the math: 120/24 = 5, while 60/24 = 2.5
That means that if 24FPS content is player, either the TV has to drop half-a-frame and do some weird timing, interlace the half-frame with another, or a whole host of other possible methods to get that half-a-frame onto the screen.
I just want to add to the many comments above.

MAGNETS DON'T HARM NON-MAGNETIC MEDIA AND LCDs.

Your LCD monitor does NOT use magnetic fields like your old CRT.
Your USB flash drive is not a tiny floppy disk, it is not in any danger.
Your harddrive has VERY VERY powerful magnets inside it, and these puny magnets will not harm the harddrive unless you deliberately scrape the lid with the magnet, and even then it probably wouldn't hurt.

Here is a list of things to keep magnets away from:
-Kids who eat things
-Re-programmable magnetic cards, such as room keys for a hotel.

And if you are still really scared about magnets, makes sure and keep your speakers away from your PC, they have magnets inside...oh and your headphones. Rip the magnetic power jack out of your macbook!
Oh and makes sure and remove all your PC equipment from the planet earth, I hear it's due for a magnetic flip.

You are a gadget review site, at least learn more about electronics then my grandma.
This looks interesting, but isn't is just a new form of CueCat?
How long until RadioShack is cramming these into every bag.
And the cuecat didn't require RFID, just a barcode.
The built-in memory isn't a token amount that you are meant to use for capturing photos. (Although you can capture a few on there if you want)

It holds all the best-shot modes, and you can customize save and download new modes to the camera.

It is also on-board memory which you can use to store low-res copies of your favorite pictures kind of like a wallet photo-book.
In defense of his post, you don't exactly go hunting with a Glock, you do buy it for defense of your home, and most likely to defend against a human invader.

In reality any minor who can use basic tools can get just about anything open, but as the video and some of the comments show it is far too easy to open. Gun locks should be made to a standard that basic hand tools can't be used to open them.
I am not anti-gun. While I don't own one, I am well educated in the use of firearms and if I do buy a gun you can be sure this post will make me do more research before I choose a gun lock.
I already run google Earth using both cached and live cell phone connections on my Mac Mini in my car.
I just finished a 4000 mile trip using it as for GPS and routing, worked very well.
Also note the Pong Clock screensaver is out now.

Youngsir,
that is an awsome idea!
Would be a great application for the first paper display watch.
Ok so this thing is basicly a cable box that use's your broadband (cable modem) connection to deliver TV.

What is the point exactly then?
My digital cable box is already a HDTV/Digital/Analog receiver and received over 300 channels.
So how much are those $300 free chanels going to cost?
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!"
