Who doesnt long for Kokomo....I mean the Hip Hugger come on!!!
What no old spice?
I really smell..
Experience with the following:

HD-DVD: Toshiba A2
Blu-Ray: Panasonic BDP-BD30K
Receiver: Denon AVR-3808CI

Both connected via HDMI, 1.2 for the HDDVD player, 1.3a for the Blu-Ray. Codecs are decoded on the HDDVD player, Denon shows "MultiChannel Input" on the display where it would normally show Dolby Digital, DTS, ect. Blu-Ray player works flawlessly as well. I have tested the LPCM which shows up as "MultiChannel Input", same as the HDDVD player. The difference is that when bitstreaming a DTS MA, or Dolby TruHD track to the Denon, it shows DTS MA or Dolby TrueHD depending on what stream it receiving. Word of warning, as the articles says, the use of secondary audio and bitstream decoding will cause the player to down-convert the codec, so it gives you the option to disable it, which I would recommend, who cares about button clicks :) Any way my experience, your millage may vary.
Lucky enough to live in indianapolis and got to visit the new AMC 14 where all the screens are the new Sony SXRD projectors. The best way to discribe it is WOW. Absolutely zero scratch marks on the film, very good color. I have seen both I am ledgend and National Treasure, both films looked great. One downside...a friend of mine what there when they lost power a few weeks ago during a movie. He said it took a little over 30 minutes for the projectors to "boot up" as it was discribed. He did say they got the movie back to the point in the film where it had left off, so part of the time could be in regards to that. I would highly recommend seeking they screens out if you get a chance.
What is up PS3 fan boys...least we forget that on every cross platform game - Madden, TWG ect - the xbox360 is running at 60fps and not the pathetic 30 they had to use on the PS3. Evolution of the devel kit or lack of ability of the platform? You would think that such a technologically superior system would be able to handle the same thing a measly 360's performance. /sarcasm.
Knights of the Old Republic
Craig....no offense, but your son was not drafted and choose to go into the military on his own accord, so regardless of where he is, it is his own choice. I hope he gets home safely, I hope all troops do, but let’s not pretend that it is anyone else’s fault why he is in Iraq.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
