I found the rendering to be plenty quick. I doubt firefox would be any quicker.

gosh, this is a nice gesture but I'm sure glad I never bothered spending $5 on it. The browser itself is really quite nice but it's ridiculously constrained running at 480p, especially on a big TV. It would help if the menu bar on the bottom would autohide or something so you could make more use of those precious 480 lines of rez. It would be the bomb if the Wii did 1080p....

Unfortunately, Youtube XL looked pretty crappy, too. It doesn't need to look that crappy.

is it just my area or are Pres hard to find everywhere? I didn't think there would be a huge surge of demand so I didn't rush to the stores to check it out but I've been looking around for one for the past week or so and I can't find them in stock anywhere (I've called or checked every best buy, sprint store, and radio shack in my area). I thought I had read that Palm promised a steady stream of deliveries but nobody seems to know when they'll get replenished stock.

The problem with Sony is that they USED to hold an edge in terms of quality and technology over their less expensive rivals, which justified their price premium. Now that's no longer true, and it hasn't been for the better part of two DECADES. They've been operating on smug arrogance for far too long and now the crows are coming home to roost.

The PS3's problem isn't all marketing or superbowl ads. It's just not a standout product. Its strengths lie in areas that are of little importance to the marketplace or where it is matched by its less expensive rivals. In the areas that ARE truly important to the market, the PS3 is matched or surpassed by its rivals. For the price premium, it should offer SOMETHING tangible that makes it truly stand out.

Quicktime sucks. I have a Canon 5d Mk 2 and a Mac and editing the video the 5dmk2 spits out is like pulling teeth. Somebody at Apple or Canon needs to fix the colorspace issues so one needn't jump through flaming hoops and intermediate codecs to simply get the proper video into your timeline of choice. Even if you edit with Final Cut Pro, the colorspace is screwed up. It's screwed up on Windows too. Seriously, screw Quicktime. It's a steaming bag of hurt.

Hopefully JVC figures out how to work around the limitations.

it's interesting how autoblog never seems to properly cite the proper source of these news items.

wow, $44.5k seems like a tiny amount for (I'm assuming) such a large number of impressions, particularly considering all the bonus publicity it has generated...

yes, indeed.

you call the LF-A and GT-R "inspired"?! LOL. They're about as inspiring as riding mowers. All these front-engined ill-proportioned beasts will be lumped into the same bin.

This is one of the most visible examples of Microsoft's general climate of corporate arrogance - it's mystifying that it continues because they have a track record that's pockmarked with many similar examples of failure that can be directly attributed to their baseless arrogance.

I find it amazing that the 360 came together to be such a good product despite these handicaps. Just imagine how much more successful it could have been if a few key decisions were made differently.
