There is enough equipment out there that the final standard will be made backward compatible. Hardly anyone will notice the 802.11n ratification early next year.
A lot of cost probably went into the D/A for the S/PDIF input. If you're using an amp like this, chances are you will use the analog XLR jacks.
Judging by the shows, the broadcast flag seems more like a good taste filter than a recording restriction
I totally agree with #1 HDMI. It's such a consumer grade piece of crap. Why do we even have component video? Because someone decided the decades old RGB analog wasn't good enough for the consumer electronics market. The only reason for HDMI is to have HDCP. And running a high bandwidth signal through an unshielded twisted pair cable is a big problem for long cable lengths.
Best picture quality, no pixelation, and lowest cost per hour of use. I'm using a Barco CRT projector. Not as sexy as what you digi folks are using, but 10 years from now, my projector will probably still work.
Convert to BR?! Some of the blank discs cost more than the pre-recorded ones.
Desk Lamp - power button turns it on and off

Name is misleading. Single NTSC tuner only. Its 720p component output, no ATSC tuner and no Blu-ray or HD-DVD makes it nothing more than a stretch-o-vision scaler.
Makes more sense to put that $229 towards a HTPC and you can scale and/or convert to your hearts content, and even use vga. What's better at D/A conversion - a computer graphics card that was designed for that purpose, or a consumer grade HDTV using HDMI? That's a no brainer.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
