this is pretty blatantly miss-stating the focus of these studies. they were looking at mega-dosing, essentially the idea that more of a good thing is better. of course, the poison is in the dose. supplemental use, where you're accounting for deficiencies in diet, is just as good as it always was. it shouldn't come as a surprise that vitamins are not the alt-medicine panacea people with a dollar to make have claimed.
anyone know if the touch screen is capacitive or resistive?
Pochi: while lcds don't have a "refresh rate" like crts, they still have a slight delay called response time. it's a measurement of how fast a pixel can switch from black to white and back to black (or in the case of most modern number-fudging whitesheets, gray to gray) and the delay most commonly talked about when discussing lcds. slower response times can cause image ghosting and smearing in high motion graphics such as games and video. the 3008 claims the same 8ms response time as the 3007, but that's only response time, a function of the panel - the scaler introduces a different but additional delay which can be noticeable to some people, reportedly up to 30ms. this different type of delay can cause sync issues, such as people's lips in video being out of sync with the audio of their words.
Pochi: yes, putting a scaler in between a signal path where one didn't exist before has an effect on the signal speed. what's not to get?
the 3008 has a hardware scaler, the 3007 has no scaler. this is good and bad - the scaler slows down the 3008 a bit, but makes low res sources (TV, and anything else you can plug into it) look good.
the ACD doesn't have lag because it doesn't have a scaler, nor does the 3007WFP-HC.
i'm sure they have no plans buy iPhoneSIMFree's tool and then redistribute it for free without their permission! because that's just inconceivable!
JJ - how is that a bad thing? OMG they're on top of updates for once!
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!"
