Nikon D90 DSLR review roundup {Engadget}
Sep 16th 2008 12:18AM I received my D90 (from Amazon) 3 days ago. It is a great camera. I used to use a Nikon N60 (with a 28-200 lens) that I bought in 1999. This feels far more solid, responsive, and takes great pictures.
I'm amazed at how quickly the flash recharges - I can take a shot a second with no problem at all (not auto-mode).
The VR lens takes "OK" pictures at 1/8 second - it amazed me. To say that the flash & camera combination is "powerful" is an understatement. I took a picture of my pitch-black (light-proof curtains) movie theater, and it lit the whole thing up with just the internal flash from 17' from the screen.
Tripod picture in daytime (I have not unloaded the theater pic from my D90 yet) with a different camera:

Pioneer intros 60-inch KRP-600M KURO plasma in Japan {Engadget}
Jun 11th 2008 5:10PM Hmmm... $8k for 60 inches of HDTV...
Or... just under $2k for the new Samsung 67" LED-based DLP.
And the DLP uses half the power.
Emotiva ER 5.0 speakers get reviewed {Engadget HD}
Apr 4th 2008 1:43AM These would be at the top of my short list for new living room speakers (I have the "Emotiva Big Dogs" (amp & processor) in my theater), but the looks are a deal breaker.
Instead, I'll go with the Rocket X-series, as they're available in several wood finishes - one of which perfectly matches our living room cabinetry. I already have 7 Rocket (AV123.com) speakers in my theater with my Emotivas.

Sony Alpha A200 DSLR review roundup {Engadget}
Mar 27th 2008 5:45PM Yeah, I'm interested in the Sony cameras.
Oh wait. I'm a Nikon guy. I've got a very-loved Nikon film camera. With a great 28-200 superzoom lens.
However, I'm probably buying a Sony because my damn expensive lens isn't right for digital.
No, apparently I need internal motors. Plus, due to the crop factor of the Nikon sensor, I need more like a 17mm lower end.
So, apparently, my "collection of Nikon" lenses are pretty worthless. Even ePray seems to think so.
And, Nikon doesn't have live view. No, I won't need it often - but when I do, it will be nice to have.
Netflix cops to surveying customers about Xbox 360 rentals {Engadget HD}
Mar 26th 2008 2:41PM I have a PS3 primarily for BD. Yeah, I now own 5 games, but play maybe 1 hour/month.
I'd buy a second PS3 for the main downstairs TV in a heartbeat if it gave me access to Netflix "on demand".
HD DVD and Blu-ray releases on February 26th, 2008 {Engadget HD}

You took the bait. I'm pretty sure, at this point, Nfinity is making the best of it: What is, is. Don't mope. Have fun by poking fun at yourself (subtly) and make intelligently sarcastic posts that LOOK like the "old nfinity", but are actually smartly done.
Actually, you didn't take the bait; you were fooled by is pretty darn smart post.
I have to hand it to nfinity. He's standing up and moving on, and being witty about it :) (and he fooled you)
Harman Kardon hops on the Blu-ray bandwagon {Engadget HD}
Feb 14th 2008 12:38AM Hey, nfinity... I've been offering a wager to you for a long time (especially, when you said "I BET... HD-DVD will win".
You still up for that wager? Name your price. Name your terms. BD will win, HD-DVD will give up.
First, you personally made a big deal out of the HD-DVD vs BD "weekly tallies". You posted MORE THAN ANYONE on how HD-DVD was improving against BD.
NOT ONCE... Not FUCKING once, in those early posts, did you compare HD-DVD to standard DVD.
Now, when BD has slaughtered HD-DVD... you finally, and pathetically, start comparing all HD media to SD.
Uh... what? Hello? What about your own PERSONAL posts? You conveniently forget them.
Wow.
I hope you eventually get enough lunch money from mommy to actually BUY a player this year.
Of course, it will probably be HD-DVD, since they'll literally pay your dumb ass to buy one.
Warner's 2008 Blu-ray release plan {Engadget HD}
Feb 8th 2008 11:00PM @nfinity
Wow. Yet again, you spout MADE-UP-LIES as if they were facts, or even rumors (no, they're not rumors when only YOU and maybe "Truth Teller" claim them.
1) Project "Hydra". Link? Only you ever talk about it...
2) Dirty Harry on HD-DVD. Only YOU post it. First you said it was in the press conference (which was incorrectly posted on the Engadget link, then corrected). Then, when that was pointed out, YOU lamely claimed you heard it personally. You FUCKING LIAR. Prove it.
3) Warner will extend their deadline. Only YOU post it -- the closest was TomsHardware that implied it, until it was corrected that the article said "catalog releases will ALSO be delayed 3 weeks". PLEASE POST A LINK TO YOUR F***ING PROOF THAT WARNER WILL RELEASE ****ANY**** HD-DVD AFTER June 1st.
4) Disney/Buena Vista / Lionsgate will publish on Blu-Ray. Link? Even anyone's opinion except yours "Truth Teller" type losers? Nope, sorry, this is a desperate made-up cry of a delusional loser such as yourself.
5) "I heard it from the mouth of Warner executives". Please post *exactly* WHERE and WHEN you heard it, and from WHO. I will contact Warner and verify it was said. I will pay you $1000 if your bogus claim can be confirmed.
6) "The lawsuits against Blu-Ray are starting". HUH? Post a link, a screenshot, a PDF, etc. If they've been filed, then they are public knowledge. If you have no proof, then repeat after me: "I am 'nfinity', and I am fucking loser who makes shit up"
OTHERWISE... *S*T*F*U* -- you are simply a pimply-faced loser, living off mama's lunch money, who has no real connection to any higher tech than online porn.
I've asked you time and time again to:
PROVE IT
POST LINKS TO YOUR "claims"
ACCEPT MY WAGER (hey, you OFFERED to bet, I accepted, and you declined)
PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS
--> If even half of your "claims" of "fact" come true, take me up on my offer of a wager. You've claimed that virtually every studio will go HD-DVD, Warner will extend, HD will win, BD will be over by Christmas 07, Warner will go HD-DVD only by CES, BD alliance is paying RETAILERS to diminish HD-DVD, XXX dropped HD-DVD support because BD paid them, etc. You get the point? So far, you've been FUCKING WRONG about every "prediction".
So, put your money where your mouth is, like I've offered, or *S*T*F*U*.
I've stayed out of the war until Warner's announcement, then bought a PS3 (to play BD movies, not games). The last game console I owned was an ATARI 2600, a long time ago. My first one was a PONG console in the 70's (I even had an ATARI 800 "computer"). I'm not a "Console-kiddy"; I'm married, family, advanced degree, successful in the stock market. I backed Blu-Ray because HD-DVD HAS LOST THE DAMN WAR. My older brother even bought a PS3 as a movie-only player.
So, nfinity, "How do you like them apples"?
Universal's "Charlie Wilson" goes to the front line of the format war {Engadget HD}
Feb 8th 2008 7:02PM Wait... nfinity... you've been making predictions that have failed OVER AND OVER.
Then, you say "I bet".
So, I called you on it. I'll bet you.
You say you don't want to take my money (IE - YOU ARE FUCKING AFRAID TO PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS)...
Then, make the same, lame predictions, that you are afraid to bet on.
Wow.

Feb 6th 2008 11:34PM Uh, both of your spellings were the same "Truth TeLLer" is the same as "Truth Teller"...
