I was just about to say the same thing :) . If it's Watts, it's Watts. Not "every hour" (or second, or minute).

As for power, that is measured in watt-hours (which is "watt*hour", not "watt/hour" as most people seem to believe). So this power plant puts out 720W (power), and can supply "720 watt-hour per hour" (energy).

Nintendo DS hacked to control DSLR shooting

While I agree with 1, 3, 4 and 5, I'm not so sure about 2. How could this offer larger bracketing than the camera allows, when it's connecting to the camera via the shutter release?

If it was actually controlling the camera (exposure time, aperture, and so on) via the USB port, that would be possible. But AFAIK those are not controllable via the shutter release interface.

Unfortunately, the USB cables that are "readily available" are used for plugging the device (pocketpc) into a host (pc). They cannot be used for connecting two devices together (pocketpc to digital camera).

While there are a few PocketPCs that can act as an USB host (my aging FSC PocketLoox 720 comes to mind), it wouldn't be easy to find drivers supporting the camera on Windows Mobile...

Toshiba recalls 340,000 Satellite, Dynabook batteries

What about this: http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/support/batteryexchange/index.html . And in Fujitsu-Siemens's case, it's not even Sony batteries - I have such a battery in front of me (after having just pulled it from my laptop :) ), and it says "Battery Cell made by LG / Made by Gallopwire, assembled in China".

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
