Boxee Box pictured in the wild: it's small!

Dec 9th 2009 4:07PM on Engadget

Does anybody know if this can bitstream DTS-HD and Dolby Digital Master Audio? Or at least decode them and send it via 8 channel LPCM on the HDMI?

Chrome has had an Ad Blocker since version 3 came out more than 6 months ago:

It actually works much better than the ad-blockplus extension in Firefox. Check out the comparisons down the page.

Second Verizon DROID commercial stealth attacks America

If you think that it's $3,000 a year for an iPhone then you lose all credibility. It costs me $600 a year for the 3GS with unlimited 3G data and texting and $200 to buy. Total cost for 2 years + phone is $1400. I'm sure the DROID isn't any cheaper with unlimited data 3G data and texting.

Ford GPS tech could tell cars when you're going too fast

I guess we should stop putting Anti-Lock Brake Systems into cars too because they "take control away from the driver" when the tires start to lose traction...

I guarantee that the ABS system can do a much better job at re-gaining traction and control than the average non-professional driver.

Samsung showing off 55 inches of 240Hz 3D LCD glory

Yep.

Every 120hz television I've seen looks like crap. I can't stand the trumotion and smoothmotion engines they use.

All I care about is 1080/24p televisions. My LCD can output in 1080/24p mode and I believe it looks superior to any 120hz or 60hz displays.

Movies only have 24 frames of data. Interpolating images and frames to up-sample to more Hz just makes the image look unnatural and bad. You aren't gaining any more quality.

AT&T now allowing iPhone VoIP calls over 3G

What about over EDGE so we have more coverage?

DON'T say EDGEis too slow. I use skype regularly over EDGE on my iPhone with the jailbreak skype hack and it sounds PLENTY clear enough to have a conversation.

Paradigm SUB 1 and SUB 2 subwoofers -- six drivers on three sides for buzz-free bass

This isn't true at all. There is a local dealer here and I pop in from time to time to ask questions and hear the Hi-Fi speaker setups (usually paradigm). Even though I am a poor college student the guy there always answers my questions with a smile and lets me listen to the systems even with my own source material.

Last time I was there, I got to hear the MartinLogan Summit X and they were amazing.

Grado takes on the earbud with the GR8

You realize that $300 is midrange right? They make models that go up to over $1000 and sound even better. Of course that doesn't even include the price of a good source and amp.

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!"
