Asus's Xonar D2X and D2 sound cards support the analog hole {Engadget}
Mar 16th 2007 11:33AM Oh, CowboyGA. You had me until I realized that you were too fuckin lazy to even click on the link in the description that explains the analog hole, but not too lazy to post a dumbass comment.
The USB Absinthe Spoon mixes virtual hallucinations (and nothing else) {Engadget}
Mar 8th 2007 10:50AM Actually Absente not Absinthe is legal in the US as it contains basically no thujone (the active ingredient in wormwood). Now the stuff you can get in czech is the lower power stuff (10 parts thujone -- I forgot if its 10ppm or ppL or what). The stronger stuff (the stuff that can probably give you hallucinations) is like 200 parts thujone is no longer legal in Czech or anywhere else AFAIK, although you can still find some bottles of it in Czech as it was only recently unlegalized.

Feb 23rd 2007 10:22AM Ya it kind of annoys me that they don't include the standard set of compiling tools out of the box in Ubuntu. I mean I know it's geared toward normal users but come on.
Stand out with Evesham's speakerful TV stand {Engadget}
Feb 15th 2007 11:58AM Actually it does come with a piece to cover the speakers, that picture on engadget just doesn't show it. Here's the link: http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/gallery/index.phtml/news/6599/NEWS-6599-6b7dfbb0134dd9f90f2d2055345959d9.jpg
It looks pretty good with the speaker grills.
Ken Kutaragi sez: I "promise" an AV-centric PS3 {Engadget}
Dec 20th 2006 9:38AM That is true that the Xbox 1 can output in HD however it doesn't have the power to playback HD video. The processor just isn't fast enough. And before you think I'm just talking out of my ass, I own a modded xbox 1 with the 128mb ram upgrade and it still won't play HD video (and yes I have it hooked up with component cables running Xbox Media Center at 720p).
AMD's Quad FX platform: some details and doubts {Engadget}
Nov 30th 2006 9:08AM Wow talk about a total 180. Its like I can swap AMD and Intel's names in every article I read now and it would sound just like all of the articles I was reading during the Pentium 4 Netburst era. Crazy.
Zune gutted {Hack a Day}
Nov 15th 2006 12:16PM Honestly only Microsoft could pull that off. I mean look at the xbox os (the first one not 360) it was like 100 something megs when the ps2 and gamecube os's were maybe 5 megs apiece. They just don't know how to code small. like for instance i remember reading that they wrote some 5 million lines of code or something just for the hddvd addon for the 360. I mean millions of lines of code? wtf? its only a higher rez dvd player anyway and they already have dvd playing code in the dashboard. I just dont get them sometimes like how there is no rewind/fast forward for playing music on the 360. I mean its a friggin media machine supposedly. anyway enough ranting for me.
