12bit means that the voltage range of a photosite (normally from +0 to not more than +5V) is digitized (A/D conversion) in 2^12 levels wich means 5V/4096=~0,0012V in the best case.
Such a value is so little for a sensor that starts to be very difficult to distinguish from each digitized value to others, expecially when the surface of a photosite is smaller than a bacteria.
14bit means that the voltage range is divided in 16348 (4 times smaller than 12bit)

Going ahead in this way means that a 16bit A/D converter in the specification is surely cheating, and 24/32bit is nonsense with current technology.

IMHO a RAW file with 16bit per color is enough for the next 5-10 years.
Is nice if you have standard nerd (cit.) forniture.
Adding a simple option: "route all audio on bluetooth earset"?
yes, but they haven't normalized anything :D
...canada has benn correctly removed, but how about switzerland? :D
Theese graphs are nonsense.

My pc drains 90W peak when i play, 50W in averagte and 25-30W in idle.
Like every LCD, this contrast ratio are only marketing.
You can see only some of the total number of GPs satellites, in the best cases (open space, not cities), you can have a maximum of 9 satellites alltogheter in the visible sky. The others are below the horizon.

You need 5 satellites to an accurate GPS navigation, so 12 channels have enough free channels to connect to a new visible satellite while another one is disappearing from sky.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
