Ask Engadget HD: Is it (still) a good time to buy a TiVo? {Engadget HD}
Oct 29th 2009 6:23PM I'm a big vote for TiVo, I love mine. I've been with them through S1, S2, and TivoHD. I didn't get an S3 because I was trying the Comcast (Moto) DVRs. What a nightmare. Terrible reliability (missed recordings, audio dropouts, video droupouts, etc.). When I went to CableCARDs, all was well, and FIOS has only made it better. High WAF and easy to use.
I'm a computer guy, so the Win7/MC idea is tempting, but it's too cost intensive for too little additional functionality (FOR ME).
Plus, if you install pyTiVo (which is a PITA but worth it), you can stream video from your PC to your tivo, and it works wonderfully. I'm using MoCA boxes and can watch h264 blu-ray type content on the HD tivo the minute the stream starts, with no problems. Because the PC does the transcoding (down to 720P for my tv), it's doable even for the aging TiVo hardware.
RIM goes pale, shows white Curve 8520 for T-Mobile and Bold for AT&T {Engadget}
Oct 8th 2009 2:59PM Not to carp on the photography again, but wouldn't a proper white balance adjustment (that makes the white phone look white and not tan) have helped?
Logitech Squeezebox Radio unboxing {Engadget}
Oct 2nd 2009 10:56AM Again with the shallow DOF photography. Really?
Can whoever takes these pictures, which purport to show the new device, turn the little wheel past f3.5? Maybe then the Squeezebox would be in focus, and not just the CDs in the foreground.

Netgear MoCA Coax-Ethernet adapter review {Engadget HD}
Jun 25th 2009 4:54PM NIM100s rock if you can get them cheap. I have three, and they work perfectly doing what this Netgear does. MOCA appears to be the best of the non-Ethernet in-home systems, at least in my experience. I got my NIM100s for under $30 each, and feel they were my best tech purchase of 2008. One of them (with a Netgear $10 switch) feeds high speed data to my BD deck, HD-DVD deck, TiVo, and X360. Glad to see the MoCA technology taking off.
I wonder if these Netgear boxes are interoperable with the NIM100, I'm guessing they should be. Would be nice in case I have to add rooms.

May 5th 2009 4:23PM And I bet a LOT of that $1500 is that stabilized lens. The lens will probably sell for $500...

May 5th 2009 4:20PM And how much will the 28-280mm lens cost for that 5D? Oh, and I assume it will do continuous autofocus and contrast-detect live view, right? ;-)
