TiVo Series 3 with HD
HD TiVo soon, very very nice! Now let’s hope the truly high-res plasma prices will come down when they start shipping HD TiVo’s… 🙂

JCB
So I got the Nizlopi CD from eBay and it arrived today, I can’t decide if I like it or not… The JCB song is probably the most popular song on the album, I don’t even know WTF a JCB is, I guess it’s like some kindda construction vehicle that is huge? I guess in the U.S. we have Caterpillar… 😉 (I know I can figure it out at wikipedia or google but believe it or not I got better things to do)…
update: I just watched the JCB video included in the CD and it’s pretty cool!
Shure E500
Shure introduced the E500, their triple-driver universal fit cans. It costs about the same as the UE-5c, which is dual-driver but a friend of mine likes it better than the UE-10 Pro. I don’t know, $500 is a lot for universal fit IEMs, custom ones will always have better isolation and be more comfortable, and they look a lot cooler. I am very interested in how the additional driver works in the E500. The UE-10 Pro gives you more bass, but the effect is very minimal. I generally like Shure’s sound signature more than that of Ety and probably UE. I’m sure the Head-fiers are very excited about yet another pair high end IEMs.
Shure unveils E500 sound isolating earphones
Shure has introduced its new high-end E500 sound isolating earphones. The E500s feature triple drivers and an innovative ?Push-to-Hear? option that lets you alternate between music isolation and the outside world by automatically activating an external microphone and muting the music.

I’m supposed to be getting 6Mbps downstream from Comcast
According to this thread all CA is getting 6Mbps since 12/13/05. I’ve restarted my modem since then a few times, my broadband was down for the entire day of 12/31!! I haven’t noticed the speed bump though, but will run a speed test tonight to find out…

Make sure you format your memory cards before you return them… 😆

Aleta Kelley of Tucson was, quote “shocked I mean absolutely shocked, there is no other word” to find nearly 80 nude and graphic photos of a middle-aged woman on her supposedly new memory card she purchased at Target.

Misinformation on Fortune’s article on 802.11n
I cannot believe a publication like Fortune had articles that contain blatantly incorrect information. Senior editor Peter H Lewis should’ve at least consulted Wikipedia (here and here) before he wrote this article.
Risk of upgrading your WiFi devices now is minimal – Jan. 3, 2006
You may already see wireless network devices on the shelves marked “pre-n,” and for most people the risk of buying now is minimal.
Two dozen of the top network equipment makers have agreed to align behind the 11n specs, and even if changes occur between now and formal ratification, it’s likely that the hardware you buy today can be upgraded easily with a software download.
The first WiFi devices were based on a 10-megabit-per-second 802.11b
standard. Then came 11g, with a theoretical top data transfer speed of
54 megabits per second. (In practice, consumers rarely saw such speeds,
and 20 mbps to 25 mbps is about average.) Another variant, 802.11a,
intended for moving video over short distances, also took hold.

Netgear’s new WiFi Skype phone
Now we’re talking, I’ll definitely be interested in one of these. When WiFi gets even more pervasive, we might even be able to ditch our cellphones for WiFi Skype phones.
Press Release Detail – NETGEAR
Unlike other devices that must connect with a PC, NETGEAR?s Skype WiFi phone will work wherever a consumer is connected to a wireless Internet access point ? be that in a home, office, cafe, open public hotspot, or any open municipal wireless access point being deployed worldwide.
audio still drops with Airport Express v6.3 fw
Music still drops, I’m going to pick up a router+switch with ethernet ports and do AirTunes over ethernet instead… Not sure which router to get though, there is this Linksys “Wireless-G Cable Gateway” that is a cable modem, .g AP, and ethernet switch, all-in-one… might get that coz I think Comcast will start charging me $5/month for my cable modem soon…
