Jul 1st 2007 11:33PM To browse Engadget all day long at work searching through the 23000 plus people before me to see if anyone said the same thing.

NEC kicks out 40- / 46-inch MULTEOS LCD HDTVs {Engadget}
Dec 10th 2006 12:02PM Why is it that there has been a factory pumping out 30" LCD panels with a resolution of 2560x1600 for about two years now WHICH are selling for $1500USD right now and no one seems to be able to produce a sub-50" LCD that can do a measly 1920x1080?
NEC, you have failed! Even if your calling it a "business" model.

Not a bad deal if you ask me.
Crash while cellphone talkin', cough up $500 {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 5th 2006 12:39AM Yes, this is one of those personal sob stories:
Coming from someone whose wife was in the middle of a five (yes, 5!) car pile up on an exit ramp off of I285 here in Georgia, I say more power to them! The person driving the car that rear-ended my wife was on their cellphone at the time. And was traveling at over 60 miles per hour before meeting the dead-stopped (and beautiful ;P) rearend of my wifes car.
Moving to the point of banning all use of cellphones while driving, I have three points to make: 1. in and around Atlanta (replace Atlanta with the name of local metropolis), most people seem to have their phones glued to their head and 2. the police seem to have a hard enough time caring about other meaningless (probably meaningful ones as well) infractions to crack down upon. Lastly, hardly anyone around here seems to pay attention while driving anyway, it's a wonder how some people possess a license let alone a working brain to operate a vehicle past their driveway.
By the way, yes I do use a phone while driving, but I chose a Nokia 6270 with probably the best speakerphone setup. I just answer with one button, press another button to switch to speaker, and then throw the phone where ever I please, all the while having maybe once looked to see who was calling.
Since my first Motorola DPC-550 when I was 16 years old to over 11 years later with my current Nokia 6270, I never once had a single incident related my use of cellphones while driving. I can only wish for a day when more people realize that driving is a skill that you learn and not an automatic ability.
Funny to think that the same people who have a problem communicating a blinker or paying attention to other drivers, probably have some of the best verbal communication and social skills.
