Click "Internet Connection" and it says:
SlingPlayer Mobile supports any type of high-speed Internet connection on your mobile device, including 3G or above cellular services such as EV-DO or HSDPA, WiFi, or USB/Bluetooth-based connections.
Maybe the approval process took a month because they needed SlingMedia to rebrand it as SlingPlayer | WiFi.
Panasonic's 150-inch Life Wall TV going production in 2009 {Engadget}
Aug 29th 2008 12:43PM missing a number in that first dimension? otherwise, how does a "2,160 X 4,096-pixel" display equate to 4 times 1080p (1080p being 1920 x 1080)?

TiVo quietly removes Series3 from its webstore {Engadget}
Jul 30th 2008 12:28PM UnixSystemsEngineer,
You can pay comcast for basic service that is technically a DVR, or you can pony up a few extra bucks a month for good/usable service with a Tivo. There usually is a price premium on the item/service of higher quality.
I used a comcast DVR for a few months and it was a challenge to use, whereas using a Tivo has been a pleasure (Tivo HD with a M cablecard).
Hopefully comcast rolls out that DVR with Tivo software sooner than later so people can have a good DVR on the cheap.
iPhone 3G: The Waiting Game: Part II: Redux {Engadget}
Jul 12th 2008 3:27PM Valley Fair is a mess too. I tried again this morning and the line was just as bad as yesterday. Was going to stand in it but it was roped off to new people at the time. this is madness!
I was going to hit the out of the way los gatos apple store but they were sold out of everything last night per the inventory tracker.
I hate standing in lines, and love having the fed ex guy do all the work for me.
Apple releases Leopard 10.5.4 update {Engadget}
Jun 30th 2008 11:45PM Word is still a bit funky with expose when going from another application back to a word window under 10.5.4. It still selects the last word window that was being used instead of the one you actually selected.
also, diablo 2 is still busted on nvidia GPUs due to the 256 color mode being removed from the nvidia drivers in 10.5.3 (and not fixed in 10.5.4).
Apple discussion thread:

Sure D2 is an 8+ year old game, but point releases shouldn't break / remove functionality.
for example, when they removed classic from 10.5 I knew that going in and weighed my options before upgrading. However, I didn't know that going from 10.5.2 to 10.5.3 would deprive me of my precious.
hopefully Apple will make it right soon.

Jun 25th 2008 5:16PM Is Mobile ME going to support a secure remote wipe?
Also, does this imply that the remote wipe will take an hour to complete? or is it a non-secure quick and dirty version?

Low ranking is should be enough for them.

Samsung SC-HMX20C HD camcorder review {Engadget HD}
Jun 20th 2008 9:42PM The camera arrived today. I put it in the charger/base, turned it on, and the screen showed "USB Connecting" then "USB Connected," after which the Samsung drive appeared on my OS X 10.5 desktop.
The drive contains four root folders and two sub folders:
DCIM
+ 100PHOTO
MISC
MUSIC
VIDEO
+ 100VIDEO
Able to copy the pictures right from the 100PHOTO folder and video right from the 100VIDEO folder.
