Stupid article of the day: J.J. Abrams is a hack? (AOL TV)

May 14th 2006 11:13PM Boxcar: I actually watch it because it's so bad it's become hilarious. It only got funnier when Jennifer Garner, one of the worst actresses ever, won an Emmy for best female actor.

I sadly can't say the same about the schmalzy soap opera turd called Lost; that one is just aggravating.

Is Lost a repeat this week? (AOL TV)

May 1st 2006 1:58PM 'If Lost is a repeat a particular week, all you'll see on the whole web page is a "NO!" If it's a new episode, it's just a "YES!"'

Incorrect. It's the other way around, as the first poster alluded to.

LCD glasses might replace bifocals (Engadget)

Apr 5th 2006 1:24PM And SmearType makes my eyes water.

LCD glasses might replace bifocals (Engadget)

Apr 5th 2006 1:22PM #12, Yeah, if you're stupid enough to run at a crappy refresh rate. 85 Hz minimum here (100-120 Hz is nicer though, and beyond that point I can't tell anymore), and I sit in front of CRTs about 14-15 hours a day some weeks (gotta love work : ), and they're completely comfortable for me.

LCDs on the other hand, are way way way way too bright. Sure, you can lower the brightness to 0 to make them a bit more tolerable, but then you won't have even close to semi-accurate colours.

Here's one (who has had glasses since he was 4 years old btw) who prefers the ergonomics of CRTs over annoyingly sharp and painfully bright LCDs.

Sony Walkman E-series flash players (Engadget)

Mar 26th 2006 9:39PM The article definitely states it has a 1-line OLED display.
A stated runtime of 28 hours, with that "charge for 3 minutes, get 3 hours of battery charge" thing they've used in previous models.

US government supports Apple stand on French law (Engadget)

Mar 23rd 2006 9:22PM Addendum:
Ponder this:

You have an iPod for a few years, you buy music from iTunes.
You find a better product and move over to it. OH SHIT I CAN'T PLAY ANY OF MY MUSIC I BOUGHT THESE PAST YEARS!

US government supports Apple stand on French law (Engadget)

Mar 23rd 2006 9:18PM "10. the analogy may not be perfect but the point stands: the government shouldn't dictate what media should be played on consumer electronics."

I'd rather have the government do it than A COMPANY.
Sheesh, reading this comments space it's clear the retardation of today's people is staggering. They take it up the pooper from corporations and, yes, governments, and defend the whole process in the holy name of capitalism and consumerism.

Whatever happened to looking out for people? Healthy egotism?

The indoctrination has been quite successful, sadly.

Samsung aims to bring solid disks to market (Engadget)

Mar 23rd 2006 9:12PM #25 What are you talking about? "That's only true in RAM"? Err. You don't swap to RAM. That's the whole point with swap. It's still a problem because when you swap out to storage (in this case a flash-based drive), you write to it. DUH.

So, then I was thinking that you must be thinking of sleep/hibernation stuff, which of course also would be a problem (writely writely writely). But no, it can't be that either because you surely know that a magnetic HDD keeps its information whilst unpowered as well.

And the article didn't address anything of this, so why should he read the article again? If anything, it seems you didn't read the article.

#21 raised a very good point.

Sony ICF-M1000 "the radio" is, er, a radio (Engadget)

Mar 17th 2006 12:57PM Heh. The funny thing is that a lot of people on here would be all over this if it were white, made by Apple and cost $400.

Music Thing: Putting an analog synth in your computer (Engadget)

Feb 19th 2006 9:29PM As others have pointed out already, not having USB isn't "clunky"; in fact, USB is completely shitty for something like this. No one in their right mind would want to run this through a USB interface bound to the device's converters and the inherent latency, unless they absolutely have to (laptop).

Also, leaving out S/PDIF isn't a big deal because any decent studio would have their own, superior, ADC/DACs to hook it up to, if they really wanted/needed to digitize the signal somewhere.

The article writer was definitely out of his depth here.
