I'd suggest you pull out your Strunk & White and read up on the comma. You'll be surprised to learn that it's used for more than just a substitution for conjunctions.
New 'flow router' may save the Internet from collapsing under the weight of all your v-blog posts {Engadget}
Aug 10th 2009 4:46PM "...and I started to think about how much less efficient it is to send out millions of streams of a live broadcast rather than simply sending out one signal, the old fashioned way (like regular old tv)."
Yeah, it's called IP multicast and its been around for a looong time.
Etymotic hf2 Custom Fit buds bundle ACS' customized ear-mould service {Engadget}
Apr 24th 2009 3:46PM Um, Shure's got a 2 yr. warranty. And they're pretty liberal when it comes to repairs. I had a cord issue with my previous set (e3c) about 18 mos after I bought them. I filled out the form, did *not* include credit card info (it's also a repair order form) and 7 days later I had a brand-new in the box set at my door.

Apr 24th 2009 9:43AM I got the Sensaphonics custom sleeves for my SE530s (they're right in Chicago, so it was pretty easy). They are a marked improvement over the foam inserts. Regardless of brand, if you are able to get fitted for custom sleeves with your particular set of phones I *highly* recommend it.
New Pentax DSLR shots blur the boundaries of Mr. Blurrycam {Engadget}
Apr 19th 2009 8:45PM Yep, if you take crappy pictures the only thing more megapixels will do is allow you to make even larger prints of crappy pictures :)
Screen Grabs: Roman Nevikov makes final call on Palm Treo Pro {Engadget}
Apr 9th 2009 11:08PM To head off the pendants:
Ok, actually F=ma (or F=mv^2 for constant velocity). Charlie's hand was *accelerating*, but the ratio still stands since a=change of velocity over time which would still have the effect of quadrupling force in my example.

Apr 9th 2009 11:00PM It's way believable. If you remember a) Roman was laughing, offering up his throat as a target, b)Charlie's hand moved *wicked* fast (remember your Force equations: double the mass, double the force. Double the velocity *quadruple* the force) and c)You could actually hear his larynx crack from the blow.
If the adam's apple gets crushed you are fucked unless you can get an emergency tracheotomy in seconds. Derek is right about the aftereffects, the throat closes almost right away.

Apr 9th 2009 10:53PM I know. I've been watching since season 1. In fact I bought the HD season pass for both on iTunes (no Tivo) and just now finished watching the finale. I'm so glad they closed the main story arc since it looks like this is it for Life. Rumor has it Chuck is the only scripted series being renewed.
AT&T to offer unsubsidized iPhone 3G with no commitment required? {Engadget}
Mar 18th 2009 4:23PM "If you have an iPhone you are seen as doing well and can afford luxuries, even when you can't. You own Apple products to be seen as the "I'm a MAC" guy, Cool. If you don't, you're the "I'm a PC" guy, a dork."
And then there are those of us who are doing well and actually can afford luxuries. I rarely ever use credit. Or if I do, as when purchasing on-line, it's paid off in less than 30 days. I also don't rush out and buy the next trendy thing, which is probably what you're describing there. I buy the highest quality I can (of whatever) and then *run it into the ground* before I replace it. And, believe it or not, this does not always mean Apple or IBM (when it comes to PCs).
In fact, I'd probably agree with everything you said, if it wasn't a poorly disguised fanboi attack on Apple.
Roger McNamee's wild predictions shot down -- by Palm itself {Engadget}
