Would a camera such as this produce video of better quality than the video from a good digital camera? Why or why not? Thanks

280-megawatt solar plant headed to Arizona desert

Feb 26th 2008 8:48AM on Engadget

The worst thing is burning fossil fuel (coal and natural gas) to make electricity. This treats the air and everyone's backyard like a sewer. So both solar and nuclear are OK. You seem to be using nuclear's bad public image as a convenient way to make your point.

Inexpensive solar panels nearly ready for commercialization

Time, distance and shielding

That is how you protect people from radiation. Reduce the stay time, increase your distance from thesource, or put shielding: lead for gama radiation between you and the source.

I don't think anyone can outrun a gamma, but traveling fast would reduce the stay time.

Ignorant Americans projecting their values on a different culture.
There are hotel workers that don't get paid any salary, they work for just tips and food. And that is a good job. What about them? Oh I guess maybe they need a union too. Oh and a few billion others.
Sorry, off topic, I guess the subject is "The factory where they make the Ipod".

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!"
