Bush 15.4-inch HD-ready TV aims low, fails (Engadget)

Apr 28th 2007 9:40PM As far as "HD-ready panels" go, this is definitely not the smallest. Pro video/film industry has much smaller (see http://www.red.com/store/product_detail/9 for an example - it's a 5.6" 720p display).

This Bush one may be the smallest consumer-target, maybe :) But not smallest...

Stock photography care of Lucky Oliver (Download Squad)

Apr 19th 2007 12:04AM Just to follow up to earlier comments - sxc.hu is nice but there is not much high-quality stuff on there. For example, I found more photos with a high-key background on the first page of a random luckyoliver search than I can in five pages of sxc.hu results.

There are other sites out there that either have expensive photos or useless search/browse engines.
For someone like me who occasionally buys cheap stock but needs reasonably high quality, istockphoto.com is the best (because of the large high-quality library and great search/browse engine), and now luckyoliver.com (decent photo quality, decent search engine, and nice idea).

Bigfoot intros lower-end Killer K1 network interface card (Engadget)

Feb 15th 2007 11:02PM No, actually you're wrong. UDP and TCP are both protocols within the IP family (along with ICMP and other more obscure protocols). Saying "UDP/IP" is completely correct.

(This doesn't make the network card any more valuable, though. Even if it can do better on some benchmarks, those benchmarks are not going to have any bearing on your score in a game. This is one of those cases of something being technically correct but completely irrelevant.)
