iTunes TOS update hints at Apple TV 3.0 software {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Oct 29th 2009 1:09PM My main use of the AppleTV is to stream movies from a file server in the basement. This means using hacked software on the AppleTV.
I avoid these updates, because they require more hackery.

Boston Dynamics PETMAN predicts the future of man as pet (video) {Engadget}
Oct 27th 2009 4:03AM This is dramatically better than the statically-balanced, ASIMO-style walking.
Asimo walks like an old person with some kind of toilet accident.

Oct 15th 2009 8:31AM The cellphone market renews devices every 18months.

How would you change Panasonic's Lumix DMC-GH1? {Engadget}
Sep 19th 2009 5:47AM The unique selling point of the camera is 1080p 24fps video.
But the 1080p video is currently un-usable. It's over compressed and the images are filled with a muddy lack of visual detail. The AVCHD codec seems to handle low-contrast detail by flattening it completely.
Either up the bitrate, or create a better solution.
Really needs fixing.

Official Windows 7 upgrade chart is ridiculous {Engadget}
Aug 6th 2009 7:32PM By way of comparison. Would someone kindly print the OS X upgrade matrix?
What do you mean "only one cell"?
What do you mean by "keep all your files and settings"?

Nikon D300s officially announced -- 720p/24 movie mode with autofocus and mic input {Engadget}
Jul 31st 2009 5:09AM I'd prefer to reserve judgement about this until we have at least seen some actual footage.
On paper the GH1 is very interesting.
But the compression renders the footage unusable.

iTunes Store to add enhanced liner notes, extra media to album purchases {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 27th 2009 1:54PM The tablet story gets less credible with each twist.
No one wants a pocket device which too big for a pocket.
No one wants to run desktop apps on a 10" screen.
If Apple has a device like this, then they are targeting some unique selling point we do not know about yet.

Sony's Blu-ray MegaChanger hits the streets next month with new ES standalone {Engadget}
Jul 23rd 2009 3:31PM I have a Drobo - and it holds a lot more than 400 movies :-) Much cheaper too.
Movies are files, and are they much happier on hard drives than on little silver platters.
