Scion picks a partner for HD Radio {Autoblog}
Apr 18th 2008 7:51PM Don't forget about the FCC.. So the advantage is... more commercials per station.. but they will be crystal clear. Commercail radio is praying HD will be their savior.. profits are down because no one listens. Gimme my Sirius or an Ipod please.. no commercials on them. By the way quit being Clear channels/CBS's Stooge.."HD is free".... please!!
Creative halts unauthorized distribution of homegrown Vista drivers {Engadget}
Mar 29th 2008 6:24PM Creative has great support for vista... If you buy their newest Cards. They have known for years that they are reaching the point of diminishing returns on every new sound card design. How much better is the Latest X-fi card compared to an Audigy 1 or Live card, Especially to a normal user who does not have $500 digital speakers. All I want is decent signal to noise ratio and I always got that with all of their cards. They saw Vista as a way to force all of their current, loyal cutomers to upgrade to their latest junk. For years they had us convinced of the superiority of a stand alone soundcard as opposed to the "built in garbage" we get with most motherboards. I don't need an X-fi I dont want an X-fi. I have 10+ live and audigy cards that they now have deemed obsolete. Guess what I am using my onboard Soundcard.. and its not bad at all. I have digital outputs and even an optical out. Not too shabby. Creative leave the guy alone.. and get to work on either giving me drivers or some reason to want to buy you product.. If you don't, I'll remember you fondly like I do 3dfx..
Lack of competition sends Blu-ray player prices upward {Engadget}
Mar 13th 2008 8:18AM Other than the ps-3 (and even it has serious issues being a complete blu-ray player) paying right around 400 bucks for a player is stupid. To top this off, we are looking at a 2.0 spec that will make current BD players obsolete (except for the flawed (ps-3). In all truth we no longer have a standardized, stable Hi-def disk format available to us. Thanks to the economy, I no longer have the disposable income to justify purchasing a player every 6 months at $400+ a pop. Thank goodness for upverting dvd players. Because of DVD's install base, I don't see movie companies not releasing movies on that format anytime soon. A dvd is a good product where movies are a reasonable 10-20 bucks on average. I may consider a bd player in a few years if its format is finally stablized, the price hits the $100 price point, and I can get a first run movie for around 20 bucks.

Geneva Leakage: Remaining 2009 VW Scirocco pics surface {Autoblog}
Feb 29th 2008 10:54PM Sigh...The Iroc is the ugly stepchild of this car.. When I saw the show car and heard that we would not be getting the Scirocco, I didn't mind. Now after seeing the final design I am pissed. VW of america was right, I would pick this over an R32 or GTI. But isn't that a good thing?? I would still be buying a VW. The Rabbit hatchback body cant hold a candle to this beauty. Oh Well, one more car to lust after that I can't get here.

Poll: So, what are you HD DVD early adopters going to do? {Engadget HD}
Feb 16th 2008 1:34PM Quit bashing my Laserdisk...lol.. I have a nice big collection.. they still make them.. just in japan. I hate the fact that we did not get to choose the winner..It was decided for us by a lot of money changing hands in the back rooms of big corporations. say good bye to affordable HD disks. I still have not purchased either. I have a lot of DVDs and at under 20 bucks a piece they are a lot better deal. When I can get a Blue-ray player at 120 bucks and movies at 20 bucks then I will "bite the bullet and get one.. sorry no movie is worth 40+ bucks..PLEEEZE
Palm kills the Foleo dead {Engadget}
Sep 4th 2007 6:37PM OMG...its de ja vous all over again.... They did an Audrey on the Folio... They released the Audrey back in the day as a "companion to the palm".. sound Familiar.. Ya would have thought they had enough with the companion fiasco.. They offered every sucker...ie customer of the Audrey a full refund of their purchase price. I ended up picking one up on ebay.. hacking it and using it in the kitchen.. Somewhere out there are a few thousand Folios waiting to be dumped as soon as Palm writes them off.. Nice Job... most businesses that make the same mistake twice, don't get the chance to do it a third time. see yah Palm its been nice knowing you...
Brilliance to get a 2008 U.S. debut? {Autoblog}
Jul 4th 2007 4:16AM This is the car to by your ex wife... or mother in-law.. or to give as a gift to a childhood bully. If you wanna get someone killed give'em this death box... For those 3 people who havent seen the video of the Brilliance car being tested ..its scary. I will probably consider a chinese car in about 60 years... maybe. Their insurance rate will make supercharged monstertrucks seem affordable. Where is 60 minutes when we need them. They almost destroyed Audi for a questionable defect that may or may not have existed. Let them have a field day with these rolling coffins in training.
