GM announces new 4.5L V8 Duramax diesel for half-ton trucks and HUMMER H2 {Autoblog}

Jun 15th 2007 6:14PM Don, are you trying to look stupid? the 6.0L is not the correct engine to compare to, it's the 5.3L which currently gets 16-20MPG in a 4x4 1500. Add 25% to that and you get 20-25MPG. On top of that a truck that pulls a heck of a lot better than a 5.3L gas powered version....you should be jumping for joy!

Solid speculation on the price of the Xbox 360s HD DVD drive {Engadget HD}

May 16th 2006 2:31PM $150 is tops for me....

What show do you wish was in HD? {Engadget HD}

May 15th 2006 5:40PM SPEED and SciFi!!
Motocross, Supercross, and Formula One racing in HD would be a dream come true!!

BattleStar Galactica is awesome in HD, but I want it in HD on the SciFi channel so I don't have to wait 6 months for them to be on UHD. Plus, I don't have Universal, so I must download the HD episodes and stream them through my Xbox360....kind of a pain...

Where have all the cable cards gone? {Engadget HD}

May 3rd 2006 2:21PM I've had cablecard for over a year in my DLP Mitsubishi and I've never once used it. Good thing it's free from Comcast! Why don't I use it? Because I ONLY watch TV off my HD-DVR just like anyone else with Tivo/DVR. Cablecard would be nice for a bedroom LCD where you want to limit clutter, but not for your main tv.
I think cablecard will be very important for devices such as the Series3 Tivo, and Media Center PC's. I've been dying for full cable support on these devices and cannot wait for them to come out. Too bad Microsoft is about to delay vista again...which delays cablecard support on the PC. Hopefully Apple beats them to the punch and releases a cablecard compatible minimac for the home theater.

IMO cablecard in a 50" or larger tv is not needed because chances are the person will use a DVR. But, I think it's important to keep cablecard support in the smaller wall mountable TV's such as Plasma and LCD where often times people want to eliminate clutter such as a cable box or DVR.
