I think the only WHS that support Time Machine are the HP models, which include some exclusive software for Mac integration. I've never tried it only because the Mac I own is an antique Powerbook Pismo with OS 9.

At any rate, to the Linux fanboys, stop your hating. WHS is far easier to use than most Linux solutions. I had considered Linux, but when I read about all the hassles people experience, I decided to give the HP LX195, an entry-level WHS model, a try. So far, it hasn't disappointed. What I've learned in the 6 months of ownership, you can install most standard Windows apps on it, so PlayOn or any other streaming software can be added. It also means you can share printers on it despite Microsoft and HP not listing it as an option. However, be forewarned, doing so could compromise performance or security.
Let me start by saying I'm a huge fan of the prospects of going back to the moon and eventually to Mars. However, I fail to understand why we need this boondoggle. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Ares-Orion Project already expected to launch the fuel and booster for moon missions on a separate Ares V from the Orion's Ares I? It seems storing the fuel in space would still involve the Ares V launch vehicle. So instead of storing for multiple missions that may never happen, why not just launch an Ares V filled with fuel when an actual mission launches?
I don't know about you guys, but the Frigidaire HE washer/dryer pair for $999 is a pretty hot deal, and its not even a doorbuster. I may have to roll on over Friday night if I have any troubles securing Sears' better deal on the $899 Samsung set earlier in the day.
Simple, hybrid drivers like to be recognized. This is one of the reasons why the Prius outsold the Civic Hybrid, which could barely be distinguished from a regular Civic.

Since GM doesn't have the cash Toyota has, its opted to simply build hybrids out of existing models. To make up for the lack of distinctly different design, they slap Hybrid everywhere, so the driver can still wear his Green Badge proudly or smugly depending upon your view.
Having owned Chryslers, I couldn't agree with you less.

Also having owned Nissans -- Renault's partner -- I don't think this would be much of an improvement. I say let GM take Chrysler behind the shed, and put it out of its misery. The question is, does Wagoner have the balls to do it?
Over the summer, I met a Toyota employee who works in marketing and he admitted that the Venza's primary competitors are the Murano, and Edge. He also didn't flinch when I said it was basically a Camry Wagon with AWD and big wheels.

Anyway, the Venza isn't meant for most of Autoblogs audience. These crossovers are meant for Soccer Moms -- oh, wait that's so 2004, I meant Hockey Moms... Oh wait, Hockey Moms likely want "rugged" vehicles like Explorers or Tahoes. After all, Hockey Moms probably aren't green like Soccer Moms, and Greenies are the type Toyota caters as evidenced by their halo car, the Prius.
More like as crazy as a tiger riding a horse...

BTW, I saw that on CNBC too... Go figure.
I switched to FiOS a year ago from Comcast, and slow channel changes when pressing up and down seem like a thing of the past. Its probably because Verizon doesn't compress the video streams.
The IMG update came to New Jersey between Wednesday and Thursday. I only realized it because I happened to be awake at 4 am when my FiOS set top boxes simultaneously rebooted a few times. Rather than interrupting them to see what was up, I went back to sleep and checked 3 hours later to find most of the aforementioned features. There are new widgets that tell you what other customers are watching live, and VOD. Plus, there are news feeds, but I don't think there is any means to choose content. I haven't seen any ESPN widgets, nor have I tried to stream HD content yet. I did notice that there are new Guide filters that allow you to see what's on based on pre-determined criteria like Kids Shows and Sports. It certainly trumps Comcast's Guide.
I totally agree. Half of G4's current line up will look horrible in HD because it was filmed in SD and will likely be featured in everyone's favorite stretch-o-vision.

BTW, Screen Savers was an awesome show, and one of the few I actually watched. I also miss Fresh Gear.

Anyway, what's the odds Mojo shows get picked up to fill the void? After all, Comcast owns a stake in Mojo parent InDemand.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
