I love my S10. Aside from the long initial ship time and slow availability of any accessories (like power adapters and batteries), I have relatively few gripes. The keyboard, like most netbooks, wreaks havoc on my touch typing skills, and I really think that something this small should ditch the touchpad for a trackstick. Meh on 3-cell battery life, but I'd never consider traveling without an A/C adapter or spare battery with any laptop.

I too upgraded my S10 with more RAM, a bigger HD, and the BT module from eBay, and now have a great little travel laptop that I can unload vacation photos off of my digicam. It also serves as an excellent 10" PMP with actually quite decent--if not hollow--sound from the built-in speakers. Less than 45 seconds from cold boot to usable XP desktop...very little or no hard drive activity at idle...matte screen! And unlike most of the laptops I've ever owned, it flawlessly goes into standby or hibernate and comes back up almost immediately without any wi-fi issues.

And if it matters, I'm much less embarrassed with the brand cachet of Lenovo with its Thinkpad pedigree than I would be with MSI, Asus, etc.

FCC's Kevin Martin proposes alternatives for delaying DTV transition

I was in a waiting room last month watching the local Fox affiliate's morning show. They had just such of a PSA test, with the anchor saying, "If you continue to see me in a few seconds, you're receiving digital signals and don't have to do anything. If not, you'll see information on what you need to do." Then he disappeared, replaced by a scrolling, narrated explanation of the transition and the options--that ran annoyingly for about 10 minutes. Ironically though, the waiting room TV was not using an OTA antenna but was the local feed from satellite...

@Darrel: Perhaps so, but the cost savings may win out. http://www.wired.com/entertainment/hollywood/magazine/16-09/ff_redcamera

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
