Nov 9th 2009 7:46PM But it still puts the non-marketing of DVD-Audio to shame.

Nov 9th 2009 7:45PM The "HD" monitor is obviously bogus for being applied to audio, but also because HD Radio is compressed to hell. Sound & Vision did an article about it a few years ago and found that it basically sucks.

'What Is Flickr?' Question Flummoxes Folks on the Street {Switched.com}

Nov 9th 2009 4:17PM Yes, which is exactly why the name Flickr never made sense for site that had still images only.

Canon EOS 7D gets high marks all around {Engadget}

Nov 7th 2009 10:55PM But what is Canon's problem with comprehending the importance of frame rates? They pulled similar crap with their video cameras, while Panasonic introduced 24P, Canon kept marketing their fake "frame" mode for years afterward. Then they feigned surprise at the flap over the 5D's lack of 24 FPS?

Yes, they finally pulled their head out of their ass and included 24/25 FPS on the 7D, but it looks like you can't shoot 1280x720 at those rates. Hey Canon, here's an idea: Make the resolution and frame-rate settings INDEPENDENT, and let users max out the bitrate at every setting. Then we could pick a smaller image or lower frame rate to reduce compression and increase quality.

And then there's the continued inexplicable lack of an intervalometer for time lapse, and no way to lock the mirror up indefinitely for multiple exposures. So you wind up with the mirror flapping up and down thousands of times unnecessarily when shooting time lapse.

These aren't tough things to fix; it's just software on the camera. Get it together, Canon. The hardware's good!

Bose SoundDock 10 gets reviewed, probably not worth the pricetag {Engadget}

Nov 7th 2009 10:45PM Think it through. For that money, you can buy a legitimate receiver with an iPod and decent bookshelf speakers.

These docks are pathetically overpriced. All of them.
