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!"
I"m a Comcast Cable/HSI customer in Houston, and have not experienced too many issues with their service. The only thing that I have a complaint about is how long it takes them to add HD Channels in an area, and getting information from them on when more will be added, is like pulling teeth. It just doesn't appear to be a priority for them, and they don't seem to understand how incredibly bad SD channels are on an HD TV through their service. Having to watch FX or SciFi shows is almost painful. I'm seriously considering switching to DirecTV.
