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!"
This is great and all, and I can't wait until it hits North Jersey, but where the hell are Spike HD, FX HD, and Speed HD? Also, why are we getting HBO West HD and not HBO2 HD? HBO West is exactly the same as regular HBO, just 3 hours later. I've been a customer for a year and a half, and I really don't think they've added a single HD channel in that time.
I waited a ridiculously long time for that new IMG (which was definitely a big upgrade), but the only other changes I've ever noticed are the channel logos. They are constantly changing these logos and I can't figure out why. Sometimes they look nicer, but most of the time the old logo works just as well or better than the new one.
I want more new HD channels, Verizon - not updated logos!
