HP Pavilion tx2000 tablet goes on sale {Engadget}
Feb 4th 2008 11:13PM I almost bought the tx1305 at Fry's the other day for $799 (after rebate) but then I came home and saw a positive review on the tx2000z at notebookreview.com and think I'll go with it instead. But to be honest, for the half hour I spent playing with the 1305, I thought it was pretty cool. The speakers were excellent, the screen clarity was great and it was packed with features. I need something small I can open up on a plane and that doesn't weigh a ton. The "tablet" feature was gravy. If you want a real tablet PC, drop another grand on a Fujitsu, etc. I'm the target market for the tx2000z and looks just about right for me.
Here's a link to the review: http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4204&review=HP+Pavilion+tx2000z

Dec 5th 2007 10:07AM Please don't use the racist term "redneck". It's a racial insult aimed at poor whites. Would you call Mexicans "wetbacks" or Italians "whops", etc.? It's all or nothing folks.

BenQ intros the DC-X735 ultra-slim camera {Engadget}
Oct 1st 2007 9:45AM "to be available in Latin America, Europe and Asia Pacific starting early October."
No word on a US release. On the 3x zoom, how much more can you go when the camera is "ultra-slim"? I wish they had a side show to show just how slim "ultra-slim" is.

DIY Film School: Rigs and mounts {DIY Life}
Sep 5th 2007 9:41AM Thanks for this article and the links. I hadn't seen a few of those.
And for those of you complaining about amateurs filming, don't watch what they make. It's pretty simple. It's so easy to sit on the sidelines and throw elitist stones at the amateurs but many of these guys have a passion for film that will someday translate into something awesome. In the meantime, someone working two jobs to pay for school and a car payment can't spring for a $2,000 jib so leave them alone. Next thing you know we'll be hearing people say you can't be a REAL digital video producer unless you use a MAC.
Also, you have to remember the audience for some of these amateur productions is different from the audience of a high budget film. Plus the lack of corporate sponsorship means the producer has more freedom to do what he/she wants.
