http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/10/john-mayer-jessica-simpso_n_456566.html HOLY fuk, John Mayer is a perfect match for Jessica Simpson... possessed of null brain power. ^or 12??? Well I guess dd, needs to get to it then...twittering :D

If they don't already have an app for that @Apple store, make 1 for the iPhone and maybe you can make a little $$$ on the side :)

"Better CRI" is based on incan color rendering, so a lower CRI LED, might give more accurate colors than a higher CRI, not the best method of reporting color accuracy. If U had a hi-speed strobe mode Luminus SST-90 w/2 18650 powering it @5+A, you could blind the mugger b4 they could mug U :D

twitter, wtf!?!? So I was reading about how Clear is now in *one* city in Spain. Well that's great, but how about you provide same service in the 2nd largest city in the USA...1st! :pissed: and then I noticed this freakin little powder blue tweettie bird icon blocking the text the the lower...

Uh, jtr, the S2 bins where supposed to be in mass production ...about now, when they were announced as being sampled last year. Given how long it took Cree to go from R2 to R5 as current mass production XPG, wouldn't you say, conservatively that it will be 2yrs b4, we even get that 186lm lab...

Not sure I understand the detailed definition of cell phone tethering? I saw the MiFI 2200 @Sprint store, guy did not tell me about the 500MB/mo $45 rate, but that's still too much for pokey slow 3G service. At any rate I d/l >.5G/mo just using dialup to surf the net 7d/wk. I'd have to look at...

Will these threads do Tea? Ya gotta scroll...er, I mean multi-touch/swipe (U know, the stuff Apple made *every* one else *copy* bcuz it's so bad to have innovation, unlike Ur tannin/tea fav. M$blows Windoze 7, et al...stop using craptastic M$ software and ur life will change forever/for better...

I thought about that article after seeing it, then said after reading Handy's thread title....well yeah, but I bet that Li-ion batter will admit to taking steroids in another decade or 2 just like McGuire :rofl: (doesnt' the site owner even have the ability to edit thread titles?). But...

Offering twice the storage density per dollar http://news.softpedia.com/news/SSDs-Get-Better-with-25nm-NAND-from-Intel-and-Micron-133634.shtml Big news if they actually ship product b4 end of year?

What others said + I could have swore I saw a gazillion rants about how much you hate the people/situations you had to work for, consulting I suppose it was part of your salaried job too? You wouldn't need to rant and rave anymore on SF if you changed jobs :D (at least not about the...

worse than AT&T, then Y is it a "plus"??? who has $10 internet, what kind of plan is that, connecting how?

How does that work?

Is vonage a computer service? :p

Alright, how do I find out what the absolute lowest price (service quality be damned) cellular & ability to connect via laptop to the internet available today, or in the near future, is? Reason I ask, I got my nice 'pro-rated' + new monthly landline residential flat-rate service bill from AT&T...

Want to see my pad? ...geekboyz pickup line? http://www.macworld.com/article/145938/2010/01/tabletannouncement1.html Yeah, but U can't put it in ur pocket. 3G follows 1mo *after* initial models ships, wtf, y? Ok, so yer'all still wallowing in the iPhone syn thread, come on get up to date...

Not really, Eugene finally facing the truth about the SSD market taking over his beloved IT/enterprise SCI/SAS hard drive magnetic storage and himself becoming more irrelevant :p ...so he had to go! silentpcreviews is more interesting anyway, even if they don't have the tech tests that biased...

F*CK, sh**, fsck! I placed the cursor in the blank area, where the text was formatting around the non-displaying image/gif file when I C&P'd the quoted text, hit delete to remove it, and the whole window disappeared, a backpage op occured and I lost my whole post....arrgh :monky: And what's...

what makes U think $28k is 'epic'? 2wk guided tours just about anywhere these days, if you're not staying in a tent can easily cost that. Just a 1st class RT flight with Champagne & Caviar to HK will cost you that on Singapore Airlines.< check Xpedia to see! I would go alone, no problem, with...

That's quite debatable, and it will also depend on *how* the cells are used/abused. The Lenmar 2000ma standard NiMH AA's I bought, all 8 crapped out on me after a year or less with <50 cycles for a very rough estimate, i'd say it was far fewer but more than say 5-10, at a time when Engergizers...

So I was reading the article on 'droop': http://spectrum.ieee.org/semiconductors/optoelectronics/the-leds-dark-secret/0 Then I was reading the author's comments to jtr :p http://www.compoundsemiconductor.net/csc/news-details.php?cat=news&id=37614 ^About Nichia's lab LED's...which were...

dSLR's sure R boring. Nothing new with enough performance increases @prices I want to even look @. New Nikon 900/700s/x supposedly will come out next month, 24.5MP yawn, too big, heavy, expensive. What would really be great is a FF Rebel body for <$1k...I'll be dead b4 that happens it seems...

^Massive bloatware, starts off @~100MB of ram usage, then quickly heads towards 200MB after 4 or so youtube tabs/windows r d/l'd. same 'ol mem leaks like all the browsers it seems, says I have 400MB of free ram but then after so many days I get slowdowns/OS X 'beachball' spinning in FF...need...

All depends on your needs and how you define "quality". Maha's Imedion have tested to have greater capacity than eneloop AA's @lower current measures. Keep in mind, the typical Chinese manufactured NiMH's are rated to what you may say is exaggerated over optimism :D. Maha generally (at least...

Would you guys, pullleeeze stop dicking around, and go take some decent, wildly vivid and inaccurate color images with 'real men' photo equipment, 70+ yr old Leica lens & Velvia 50 re-issue. I mean FFS already! :D http://kenrockwell.com/tech/death-of-photography.htm Oh man, Ken is so right...

Uh, hope that isn't your real addy, cause if it is, ur going to have to really work the spam filter. As a mod, can you edit ur post past <5min? Already shows up via Google search, so spiders/crawlers are probably going to mine it any second. I put up as little personal info on the web as I can...

Hmm, jtr I'm just wipping off the sweat from an exhausting 5 restaurant round up of dim sum, 4+hrs worth of driving...in near 80F weather (might as well be in Oz land down under :p). I would say easy to look back, but how about prognosticators for the future decade ahead :D. I expect more of...

Go into any Best Buy and take a look at the 27in iMac in comparison to the 21in iMac LED backlit screen...the 27in is *much* brighter/intense. Same screen as the upcoming Dell, you can get it now, have been able to get it on the 27in iMac :). But it's not a "Televisions as monitors" as the...

Anal-ysis this: So I woke up @3am to take a pee, still slightly under influence of the bottle of sparking rose I drank 6hrs prior. Went back to sleep and had this seriously weird dream. Dreams are the window to the subconscious mind, the soul??? I sure hope not!!! I woke up an...

Not so fast...ya damn'd racists :D There you go LM, vegetarian Chinese food for you, as Racheal R. would say Yumm-O! paugie should be familiar with this one: Sunday Feb 14, 2010... year of the Tiger;most important celebration on the Chinese calendar...

Alright, it's NY's on the East coast, Merc I don't suppose it ever occured to you that the fairer sex will look down on a guy who admits, he has 80+ drives in his appt? At least with SSD's they can be put into a drawer like Playboy and other mags :D :rr::drinka: Have to admit, I've just...

So I take it U think the built in Turbo Boost function of the i7 is a waste? Six cores are coming, also a waste if sw is not multicore aware, them's the breaks :p. Come on down, name that software! Q begs, U have a 4GHz i7 in your sig, Y haven't U tried that, it's free U know? ^Hasn't been...

Geez, I *hope* U did not have to get permission (legal) from her parents to marry her...she's not that young is she? If yer really, *really* geek bored, you could play with Jessica (year + old contest): http://www.ibeatyou.com/competition/86a130/the-stare-no-blinking

To be fair, many an Asian made (not just Sub's made in Amer) car get plagued with such gremlins too. Just the luck of the draw...now go buy an UK made car if you want electrical hell to visit upon you.:twistd:

Guess the low oil warning light is not working either :p. Should have come on, don't know of any car that has such tight rings that it would lose less than 2qt in 25k mi. Is this the new SR tread???

If I was going to pay the outrageous data plan fees for a smartphone, I'd probably get a Samsung Moment. Not one of those BB or Pre's with keys designed for non-humanoid microscopic fingers. The Moment has the entire slide out bottom/rectangular left to right as opposed to top to bottom...

vetting....define 11"x17" copier. Define uses (B mor descriptive...flush out all your parameters/requirements/wants/needs/quality/paper handling, connectivity, etc). Brother makes an AIO 11x17 inkjet @~$300, it does 'copy'...being an AIO it also scans :)

LOL, Dan Chung said 6400 ASA Would have liked to see less (shallow) DOF, 3.5 & 12.8k ISO shots, I hate ubiquitous shallow DOF in movies as it looks far too 'surreal' to me. http://www.dslrnewsshooter.com/ ^all that extra heavy duty (and expensive) gear needed to get better video...ugh...

Only U can answer that :D Deja vu? 32in TV aren't much bigger than the 27in iMac and surely are not better quality(unless you mean the TV's are better quality now than in the past?) :p or more expensive 30in much higher res monitors (no TV can match that, other than insanely expensive, 5...

Y not just have Xtra batteries pre-charged, so speed won't matter? Charging too fast *could* be explosive or damage a Li-Ion, make sure you read up on them! Don't think charging a 18650 standard chemistry Li-Ion is a good idea above 2C, IIRC...even with protected cells, not sure the PCB works...
