Apr 3rd 2009 10:08AM Hmm DS4300 is also the name of some older IBM disk array. A quick google search would have turned that up.
TASER's AXON on-officer recording system could revolutionize COPS {Engadget}
Mar 23rd 2009 8:35AM I'm sure this thing will have a 'pause' button or something, for those moment that a cop needs some privacy, such as going to the toilet. Which can then be conveniently pressed when needed in other circumstances.

Jan 28th 2009 3:27AM No problem, Sony.... The last time I bought any of your products has been well over 5 years ago. I used to own lots of Sony products, but with your ridiculous prices, your proprietary crap such as Memorystick that you try to force down peoples throats and the fact that your competitors like Samsung, LG and Panasonic make products that are at least on par if not better, without all the proprietary crap means I have plenty of choice.

The next generation of HDMI actually adds some welcomed features {Engadget}
Jan 7th 2009 4:06AM Well according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI HDMI 1.3 has a theoratical max bandwidth of 10.2 Gbit/s which is obviously significantly more then Gbit ethernet.
HDMI is probably wasting a lot of bandwidth by decoding the data and then sending decoded data over the wire (with some encryption added back in), while when you stream a movie over Ethernet the decoding will be done in the receiving device.
