Absolutely. The Oppo BDP-83 is giong to be the BR player to beat, and at the same price of $499.

For someone who made such an insightful comment, I'm surprised you didn't know that most "sails" act as wings most of the time. Lift is the primary movement force in sailing boats. Modern sails are just flexible "wings" (or airfoils).
Wait a second. Where's the source for the 30mph wind claim? I don't see it on any of the supplied links.

I'm not claiming it's not real, I'm an engineer, I get the math. Just wondering if the 30mph is correct or not, as I don't see that claim anywhere but on engadget.
@Fred: The key part of the streams from hulu that Boxee and XBMC needed to play them is the PID. Hulu has now encrypted the PID, so Boxee and XBMC can no longer find the streams to play them. So, boxee had no choice, really. XBMC users will notice that their plugin still *runs* and shows you the list of shows available (list is not encrypted) but when you select a show or clip to watch, nothing happens.

The plugin for XBMC was not developed by the XBMC dev group, but by an individual. Whereas the boxee app was developed by Boxee, so they probably disabled the whole app just to play nice w/ Hulu for now.

Time to get a DTVPal DVR... http://www.dtvpal.com/
So long and thanks for all the fish! Don't panic!
I'll paint my hard di$k green if she'll swallow the lot.
I want one! What's a PMP? ;-)
They were, until 2003.
Yeah, I rented a brand spankin' new VW Beetle in 2001 or so when I visited Mexico (where they were manufactured). It had something like 35 miles on the odometer when we rented it. Very fun/cool. Had modern seats and seat belts and steering wheel/controls/dials and am/fm radio (no CD IIRC) but otherwise was just like the original Beetle (i.e. mechanically & body/chassis).
Actually, native Spanish speakers often include the "yo" in front of "soy" for emphasis. I had an exchange student from Canary Islands one summer, and when he and his pals were playing hoops they would say, "yo soy machina" whenever they did an especially cool move or shot.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
