  • Does anyone know whether these things support 4K externally?  Haswell is supposed to use the Redwood Ridge controller, which while still offering Thunderbolt at 10Gbps bidirectionally, updates the Display port to 1.2.     Thunderbolt 2 supports both…
  • I only listen to music, I don't know anything aboout making it, but it looks like digital production now offers far more "fidelity" and resolution than what could be done in the analogue era. An interesting thing for me, as a consumer of your fine …
  • Me want these. How they compare with modern solid state amps, I do not know, but glowing valves sure look the business, don't they? I've had a good listen to a good quality valve amp before. It did sound good. High sensitivity speakers are a m…
  • So when can I get a 4 core iMac? Is there a roadmap for lower power 4 core chips?
  • Smart's seem liberally sprinkled throughout Toronto and surrounding burbs. They seem fine on the highways too, so I don't see why they wouldn't work for long commutes actually. I do think that anyone looking at a Smart should probably look at a …
  • Smart previewed a diesel electric hybrid that gets 2.9L/100KM or about 80-100MPG depending on which gallons you're using. They're both faster/quicker than the current models and more economical... I wonder if they'll come to the USA
  • I'm still sure that this would be a better car as a hybrid than a battery powered electric, especially if the thing has 1700lbs worth of batteries on board. That weighs more than even the baddest 1970's musclecar engines, what am I writing? It wei…
  • The real problem with electric cars is that they don't make vroom vroom noises. Hybrids are the future, the only variable is fuel source. That straight electric vehicle may not be as green as you think. What do we do with voluminous quantities …
  • I'm not really up to speed anymore on what is or isn't coming down the road for wireless. G is good enough for any home network needs. I'm more interested in metro area networks and technologies like WiMax, if/when we see it. Apple really needs…
  • Will one of these two formats die already, and soon, so that I can get a player and some films. I think I'll be sticking with good ole DVDs for a while yet...
  • Quote: Originally posted by Gilsch Leagues better?? Not sure about that. It was just as shitty although probably not as controversial. There is always a blemish or two, but this time 'round, the refs understood off-sides. And all the c…
  • Well, history is always a good teacher, Zizou got 5 games for a similar incedent a few years back. As for the rest, doubt me not, from this thread: Quote: Except in Brasil's case... That said, they won't win it this year. European teams wi…
  • I'm sometimes amazed that it seems people are watching entirely different games than the ones shown on TV??? Italy was the better team in the first half, not France. France was better in the second. Split for the OT halves too. France scores…
  • Quote: Originally posted by iMac David I think it can be too artificial to do things like abolish offside, remove a player every 5 minutes, the Golden Goal etc. No, stick with a penalty shootout - let's see who has the nerve, technique and co…
  • I've said this before. If we want to avoid penalties as the tie-breaker, we might try golden-goal overtime, but with no linesmen... No offsides in OT. OT wouldn't last 15 minutes, the attacking team will either score right away or get burned pinc…
  • It's obvious that Canon has the best sensors right now. Or, I should say best overall combination of sensor and processing. But this is neither here nor there in many cases. In similarly priced cameras, D200 and 30D, there's little to give between…
  • A new eMac would be remarkably simple to do. Take one integrated Intel Mobo, and drop it into a 17" iMac case with smaller HDD, less RAM, no iSight, a combo drive. Leave the integrated I/O alone, since this is now a part of even the most affordabl…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Amorph Even if Apple starts leaning more heavily on contextual clicking I suspect they'll come up with a neater method than two physical buttons for their laptops. Right-clicking on laptops is a pain. And complete…
  • If so, filters could be built into the headphone jack, or a small inline adaptor provided for third party 'phones. Something like the clip on remote that came with my 3G iPod that would house the antenna, and regular ear bud go into that... With …
  • FM tuner is NOT too big. The smallest IC FM tuner is 5x5x1mm and requires no other support hardware, iPod has an amp and digital display built-in. Antenna can be wired through headphone cord, problem solved. Sanyo has a version of the IC tcoming …
