Jul 15th 2008 10:45AM How many takes is he to allow himself?
Personally, the throat clearing didn't bother me at all. Perhaps he was sick. Regardless, let's all try to be able to focus on something without being distracted. Someone was SMSing in front of me in a movie theater recently, and while it annoyed the person I was with the whole time, I chose to ignore it. Being able to focus is also very useful in a workplace where there can be many distractions.
Sharp trumpets world's thinnest 5-megapixel CMOS sensor {Engadget}
May 23rd 2008 8:40AM Hmm, that size doesn't really seem small for phones. It seems rather thick to me. How big are they now?
The PS3 Laptop: from Ben Heck to Engadget with love {Engadget}
May 13th 2008 12:59PM Hey, nice job!
Clearly, you did a pretty good job of fitting everything in there. What types of cooling did you use? I don't really know what's in the current PS3. I'm assuming a decent heatsink/s and a couple fans, but it seems you could do a similar job with less space by more strategically manipulating heat with liquid cooling, etc. So, just curious what you used.
Another quick(maybe stupid) question: When did the manufacture of the chip hardware in the version of the PS3 you used begin? It said "original backwords compatible 60GB model", so this means it's the original PS3? That's very impressive!
Again, thanks!

Casio's Exilim EX-Z200 gets reviewed {Engadget}
Apr 15th 2008 12:00PM What, slow shutter speed? Does this mean a long "shutter lag"? What has been done? They made some fast ones. My EX-Z750 was fast. In fact, I had no problems with it(though the image quality wasn't great, it was good). They should have stuck with the pattern.
Hopefully more fast ones are to come. :)
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ10 gets reviewed {Engadget}
Apr 8th 2008 8:31AM Ok, thanks! I guess I haven't heard that term much. I'm glad I sort of guessed it. yay! So "fast" in this context doesn't directly describe the object, which would be measured in size, but describes the situation in which the object is used. "Fast" tires on a car aren't fast themselves, but are used for fast driving. (I'm making up an example...I know even less about cars than I do about photography.)
Ug, how could I have not made that connection? Well, thanks again. :D

Apr 7th 2008 11:19PM What is a "slow maximum aperature"? Does that sentence refer to a slow system for changing aperature? Well, a larger lens aperature would allow the sensor to collect light "quickly".
Please help me; I feel I'm missing something. :)
Fraunhofer's Kolibri Cordless sensor snaps 3D images on the go {Engadget}
Apr 5th 2008 12:56AM John Stracke explains well below. Understand that much of the Engadget writing uses new, largely internet formed, slang and idioms in different contexts to be funny and create variation in the text. I personally enjoy this aspect of Engadget's writing style, and enjoy reading the articles. I also agree that there are plenty of mistakes, but they aren't unbearable, and they aren't frequently the common ones I see scattered throughout the internet, which makes the site much less aggravating to read. :)
SNES modded into handheld by Ben Heck forum member {Engadget}
Apr 3rd 2008 5:01AM I actually noticed his voice and liked it. He states the features while showing them in a confident and relaxed, though pleased, fashion. I also didn't detect any anatomical irregularities; I think perhaps you picked up on his "drawl". Maybe he's from the South(US).
