Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
For all of his supposed research into HDTVs, Mr. Boutin seems not really to have done a very thorough job.
For instance (and this is just one obvious set of errors among many), when he riffs on DLP TVs, he talks about how "bulky" they are, and how he doesn't want a "200-lb God Box" in his living room. Well, sorry to disappoint, but DLP is neither as bulky nor as heavy as he purports. Samsung for instance (and I'm not flacking for them, it's just true) has a "slim" DLP TV that's less than 11" deep and weighs just over 50 lbs. That's hardly the bulky, 200-lb demon of Mr. Boutin's nightmares.
I think the truth is that Mr. Boutin hasn't owned a TV in 15 years, and he was looking for a reason not to buy into the HDTV "revolution".
