Apr 8th 2009 1:00PM Fix the economy? OK...
Strip unions of their power.
Reduce taxes and institute a flat tax.
Do away with the IRS.
Stricter term limits for congress.
No "bonuses" for government (Local, State and Federal) employees without strict voter approved guidelines.
Bottom line, somehow stop the government from trying to "fix" everything.
Can I have my Razer kit now?

Apr 8th 2009 12:53PM Please build. But out a half way decent suspension under the thing. I'd actually consider using something like that for urban commuting if it could handle a decent drop/jump.

Apr 8th 2009 12:43PM Kind of sad that they got an app out before AT&T got an app done for their own U-Verse service. (Happy U-Verse customer otherwise.)
New iPhone parts begin shipping from suppliers for June launch? {Engadget Mobile}
Apr 8th 2009 12:36PM Unless there is some spectacular hardware/software innovation that hasn't been leaked to the press yet, I see no reason to upgrade my current iPhone 3G. Video and a compass are nice, but if it is limited to the new hardware only it isn't nearly enough to make me drop the cash and re-up for another two years.
I'll wait for my current 2 year to be up and see what Apple and others release in Q2/Q3 2010.
GM and Segway's P.U.M.A. makes its stage debut (with video!) {Engadget}
Apr 7th 2009 12:55PM What is sad is that GM didn't even do this for consumers. They did it to please their new boss, Obama. I heard a quote for a GM exec. on the radio this morning talking about how they were proud to be developing a product that falls in line with what Obama's administration wants to see! How ridiculous is that?
What happened to the good old days when automotive designers and engineers designed for the consumer? Often offering what the customer wanted before they ever knew they wanted it? Fact remains that if GM was working with less overhead *cough* reduced union labor cost *cough* they would be nearly as much a viable company as Toyota. Building an eco-friendly "car" that no one wants to buy just to please the current administration is not going to save the company.
NVIDIA revs up pro graphics lineup {Engadget}
Mar 30th 2009 4:39PM Kind of funny you are looking to replace your FX1400 for something newer. I just had my FX1300 take a dump last week as well as nother co-worker with the same card. I solicited a quote this morning for a couple of 9800 GTX+ to replace them. We run AutoCAD Architecture and will eventually be switching to Revit.
With Autodesk now supporting DirectX as well as openGL, it opens up big possibilities for increased performance for little to no increase in cost. Our next step is makeing the jump to all 64-bit OS. The increased ram capacity will help out even more than upgraded GPUs when it comes time to create large final renderings and video.
Onkyo intros 'entry-level' HT-S5200 and HT-S3200 HTIB systems {Engadget HD}
Mar 16th 2009 8:09PM Agree completely on the HDMI pass-through. For $50 less than list on the HT-S6100 you cab get the HT-S6100 from Onkyo that includes 4 HDMI 1.3a repeaters. The 6100 is also my likely choice for my new Home Theater and one of the best "bang for the bucks" out there.
Of course with the release of the 5200 and 3200, surely the 6200, 7200 and 9200 can't be too far behind. The 5 series was the highest level HTiB Onkyo sold with pass-through HDMI in the last generation as well.
Panasonic's CES 2009 Viera HDTVs get US pricing and dates {Engadget}
Mar 3rd 2009 6:18PM Some of these new Panasonics do look appealing. And the NeoPDP is a nice feature. But I am glad I picked up my Pioneer 5020FD from Costco a couple weeks ago instead. Not a single regret with my purchase.
