LG considering withdrawal from plasma market {Engadget HD}
Feb 26th 2009 4:46PM Yes, Pioneer does manufacturer their own plasma panels, don't know who told you otherwise. It is a shame that the industry has caved to LCD's based on years of misinformation about plasma. Superior quality is losing out.
S-Video disappearing from AV receivers, few seem to notice {Engadget HD}
Feb 25th 2009 10:58PM So you are trying to tell me that your VHS and Hi8 tapes are going to loose quality being transferred to DVD because of MPEG2 compression? Trust me I think you'll squeeze just about everything you can out of them going digital.
And analog signals di use a form of compression, it's called interlacing. It's one of the reasons it's hard to get a good capture off VHS. Use a computer to capture the footage at high enough resolution and deinterlace afterward.
60 megabits per second is an insane amount of data, how could you possibly need that much? Bluray tops out at 54.
Not to mention that those analog tapes are going to deteriorate.

Jan 14th 2009 1:52AM That was Pioneer Elite first of all. It looks like it won't make production till 2010 or 2011 based on speculation out there. The mistake for Samsung is ironic since Pioneer just won a settlement from Samsung for infringing on it's plasma patents.

Still annoyed. 2.0 update smooth, but 2.1 and 2.2 crashed.
iPhone 2.2 firmware update available now, Google Street View and plenty more {Engadget}
Nov 21st 2008 1:23AM Tried to update and mac screen grayed out and pop up message saying I must restart or shutdown my mac so did a hard power off.
Now iPhone is stuck in restore mode and update keeps erroring. Also Safari kept crashing when I tried to come here until I cleared cache
Trying another restart and if that doesn't work looks like I'm reinstalling iTunes, same as for 2.1 update.
