Is Roku's Netflix Player living up to your standards? {Engadget HD}
Jul 5th 2008 12:19PM Roku are scumbags, from my experience.
I bought their first product, an HD media player, which they never fully developed to meet even half of its advertised capabilities. Even the side of the box in which it was packaged had images of iTunes Visualizer-like graphics (supposedly in HD)... it looked more like an old video-game, "Qix" I think it was called.
When asking about this online, the posts were removed. When calling in to their offices, I was put on hold for excesses of thirty minutes and on two occasions, hung up on "accidentally."
Scumbags.
Handheld meth gun for drug detection {Engadget}
Jul 26th 2006 11:23AM I remember reading about police, in Texas if I recall correctly, using infrared technology that penetarted walls (cheap apartment, one assumes) to bust people inside their own homes. The argument was that they emitted detectable light that provided probable cause. The DA was more than happy to prosecute---you have to figure that law enforcement won't hesitate with this.
