Cal's Jahvid Best Diagnosed With Concussion After Scary Fall {Fanhouse NCAA Football Blog}
Nov 7th 2009 10:10PM Given that Best already had a concussion from last week going into this game, I hope they don't let him play the rest off the year and jeopardize his future health.
ASUS working up BR-HD3 wireless HDMI streamer {Engadget}
Oct 19th 2009 1:34PM Yes, because no one that needed wireless HDMI would ever have an AV Receiver with HDMI switching, or just an HDMI switch, so that it only needs to transmit one HDMI stream.
Tracy McGrady Is Coming to Wreck Your Rockets Predictions {Fanhouse NBA Blog}
Sep 28th 2009 10:06AM Except I'd say McGrady can hurt them if he still thinks that he should be taking as active a role on offense as he was a few years ago. If he shoots in moderation, and plays a role, then he'll help, but if he tries to take over and is only as effective as he was last year, then they have more effective people that can take those shots for them I think.
Raiders Ban Rich Gannon From TV Production Meetings {Fanhouse NFL Blog}
Sep 25th 2009 11:10PM Why would you use Rod Woodson as an example that "speed doesn't guarantee success in the NFL". Rod Woodson was incredibly fast, but he also made the 75th Anniversary Team, and the Hall of Fame, and was great in addition to being fast. Perhaps picking an example of someone who was fast, but without football skills, would be better.
Ask Engadget HD: Best headphone setup for a home theater? {Engadget HD}
Sep 23rd 2009 11:11PM I don't know about the AKG 272, but my AKG K701's leak sound so badly my wife can easily tell what I'm listening to from across the room. They are fantastic headphones, but I'm waiting to see how long my office mates can deal with them
Ask Engadget HD: Best headphone setup for a home theater? {Engadget HD}
Sep 23rd 2009 3:50PM Keeping under $200, the Shure SHR840's are a very recent headphone that has gotten incredibly positive reviews at head-fi and over at AVGuide.com. They are also supposed to be pretty easy to drive, so you could put off adding a headphone amp until later, if you decide to go that route. I really love my AKG K701's, but they leak a lot of noise, and take a separate headphone amp like the mentioned XCAN V8, to bring out the best in them.
Musical Fidelity also has the VCAN line with a headphone amp for $200 that is much more reasonable in price than the XCAN, and also supposed to be a great product.
Ask Engadget HD: 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound audio for beginners? {Engadget HD}
Sep 17th 2009 9:56AM I'm going to echo what most people have said here and that, unless you have a massive room, you're better off with 5 speakers than 7, as you would be hard pressed to hear a difference. However, I would suggest that going with a 5.2 (dual subwoofer setup) over 7.1 will give you a change that you can hear. Having dual subwoofers will allow you to position them better to smooth out the bass response, and eliminate a lot of the peaks and valleys in your bass response. It takes up more room of course, and will take a good bit of time to setup right (you'll need to experiment with a lot of different positions for the subs), but you'll notice far more difference with 5.2 than with 7.1 IMO.
NFL Defends Reversal of Murphy's TD {Fanhouse NFL Blog}
Sep 15th 2009 3:24PM I'm pretty sure if Kraft was paying the refs, that BS call on Wilfork for roughing the passer would not have stuck, and that borderline call against Thomas for roughing the passer later in the game wouldn't have been called as well. When calls are going both ways, it's not someone paying off the refs, it's just not liking how the refs are calling the game.

Sony VAIO X stars in esoteric promo video {Engadget}
Sep 5th 2009 4:02PM Dr House,
Some of us actually do business stuff while on the road or traveling and want something that's really light but also powerful. Sure, I could get a Netbook and use it for SQL Server and C#, but I really wouldn't want to, that's for sure. I'm sure Sony is selling less than they used to, but they are still after a different segment than a Netbook is. I'd use a Netbook for my personal stuff, but not for work.
