May 17th 2008 12:52AM Oh, and the GXP has a stick. Like pretty much every car, the sport version is announced last.

Like on a Corvette (optional), Cadillac XLR or Ferrari 612?
Those aren't really soft or hard, they're soft when they need to be and hard when they need to be.

May 16th 2008 11:47PM I have to say, when I stood up for getting rid of the VOOM channels to make room for new better channels, this wasn't at all what I was referring to. This might in fact be even worse.

May 16th 2008 9:04PM Diesels still smell, they still put out well over 10X the particulates (soot) of a gas car and they are noisier than gas engines (a lot better than the past though).
Diesels are still far dirtier than gas cars.
James:
NOx (for example) isn't because of a problem with the fuel. It's because of the style of ignition (compression-based) that Diesel engines use. You can run the engine off anything and it still will not match a gas car on NOx.
MPAA dangles early HD VOD releases, in exchange for closing that pesky analog hole {Engadget HD}
May 16th 2008 8:57PM That's nothing to do with HDMI. Are you talking about HDCP?
My first TV with HDCP took 3 seconds to sync up, my 2nd one and current one take well under 0.5 seconds. With a channel change taking a long time on MPEG4/H.264 tuners anyway (due to having to wait for keyframes), HDCP isn't a huge deal on this.
I hate HDCP, precludes a lot of useful things like external upconverters and switching amps with on-screen overlay graphics. And it's a complete waste of money ($1 per connector to Intel). But it doesn't make channel changes prohibitively slow.

What are you talking about? Yes, BD+ isn't doing customers any good. But it hasn't been a problem so far. It isn't slowing sales or anything like that.
Why are you making up stuff to try to make your point? You have a good point, don't undermine it by giving out false info.

May 16th 2008 8:53PM HDCP isn't cracked. It wouldn't be too tough to make a device to do it, but it isn't done yet.
