    CEA Harshly Rebukes California Energy Regulations

    jotham Nobody said anything about zombies (or bath salts for that matter ;)), or earthquakes, or anything else except for state regulations over the economy. The fact of the matter is that people are leaving California and will continue to do so under the state's regulations upon its businesses...

    CEA Harshly Rebukes California Energy Regulations

    Actually, the fleecing of your businesses and residence for cash and to control every ounce of their productive blood will make California less in need of more power plants as people continue to flee that state. We folks here in Texas will fully welcome any and all business-thinking people...

    LED Lamps to Replace Incandescent Bulbs - But When?

    Exactly what I feared would happen. Banning the incondescent bulb may have felt good to some but such regulations only hamper development of more efficient technologies, keep the cost of living up, and does nothing for the environment. GE, for example, simply shifted the manufacturing of the...

    Netflix DVD-by-Mail Becomes Quickster

    May this be the reason? The following makes perfect sense to me. It's a take by Bill Gurley via Hot Air on Netflix's somewhat confusing move to split its company into a DVD mail service and streaming service respectively. With the demand for "Video on Demand" up and Hollywood never passing...

    Best Buy Sells Its Soul with Rent-A-Center Kiosks?

    Back around the early 2000, my wife told me about some friends of ours who were renting a DVD player Through a rent-a-center place. They were paying a monthly fee to use the gear and after a very quick calculation I told the Mrs. that if they simply returned the player and hold off for a ear...

    Bose: Why Audiophiles Should Stop the Hate

    While personal enthusiasm is clearly responsible for Bose's "eclectic range of study", without the profits Bose has made, many of these studied may never have seen the light of day. Profits and enthusiam truly do go hand-in-hand to make better things for the world.

    Onkyo TX-NR709 7.2 Channel Networked THX Receiver First Look

    AirPlay? The 709 seems to be a very fine receiver as does the 609 which I'm currently eyeballing. But I'm not hearing much talk about AirPlay support from Onkyo. The wife would love this feature and thus be a very solid selling point for men in my position. Any word on future AirPlay...

    Pioneer VSX-1021-K Receiver First Look

    I appreciate the opinion matelli but I guess what I want to know is does the Pioneer offer anything along the lines of dynamic and volume EQs in its calibrations.

    Pioneer VSX-1021-K Receiver First Look

    MCACC vs Audyssey I almost made a pre-order purchase on this unit just last night. It has everything the Mrs. wants in terms of ipod compatibility. My sticking point though was that the video presentation I watched on this fantastic unit was that Pioneer's MCACC audio set up uses only one...

    OPPO BDP-95 Blu-ray Player First Look

    I'm still waiting for the model 90 to be reveiled. Two HDMI outputs would be ideal. One output would connect directly to the TV for watching movies w/o use of a receiver as well as a stellar upconverter (from the Blu-Ray player itself) and the other connected to a receiver with a stellar...
