I seem to recall this research has been going on for a few years. They did a test of this for people (a 20 minute sample or something because the size demands for storage were so large) and actually disorientated them because the resolution was so crisp and life like that their brains couldn't figure out what was going on. Needless to say it was originally planned for theatre use only. But maybe things have changed?

I know it isn't an external drive, it is a BD burner as well though.

This is a local shop to me whom I always deal with. Usually have pretty decent prices on things.
We used to sell this very thing up at the Source by Circuit City in Canada. Last time I worked there was over a year ago now and we probably had it a year before that.
Actually 8 watts for 420 lumens isn't great for an LED at all. It is very powerful, but is it efficient? No. At approximately 50 lm/W it is far from the 100 lm/W of Florescent and the 150 lm/W of some LEDS out there today. I doubt that the kind of LED mentioned in this article has any intent on being used for household lighting. Typically the LED lights that you can purchase for household lighting now are based on a 1 watt LED.
That has comment of the day written on it if you ask me ;)
haha
Ali is correct. The 8830 only supports 1800 and 900 Mhz bands. This will not play nice with North American GSM which uses 1900 and 850 Mhz bands. Hence why they don't care if it is unlocked.

Maybe my understanding of Netflix is misunderstood... they are online only correct? Didn't the article state that Blockbuster was going to continue to offer HD DVD online in addition to Blu-ray? "HD DVD titles will continue to be offered online"

Not that I care either way. Just get one of them out of the way so I can buy a player at what ever the price is going to be. I don't want to worry about it not working next year because my format is dead :P
Wow... now I would love to see that kind of performance/watt in my desktop system.

"The 45 nm Silverthorne chip is expected to be as fast as the second-generation of Pentium M processors, while running in a power envelope between 0.6 and 2.0 watts."
Well I have Eastlink they are the provider in Nova Scotia, Canada... as far as I can tell they don't use any broadcast flags (c5 I think it is called) because I can use firewire from my HD Box (Motorola 6200 box) directly into my computer and I can record in HD Goodness... mind you our provider out here makes HD look like moderatly good SD... but that is another argument for another time! :)

They probably got the tag line by offering up a Wii ;) haha
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
