FujifilmS9500 vs. Panasonic DMC-FZ30 vs. Canon Digital Rebel XT
Finally, “Cameralabs”:http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/FujifilmS9500/page4.shtml has a good side by side comparison of high end superzooms S9500 and DMC-FZ30 vs the Canon Digital Rebel XT with its kit 18-55mm EF-S lense. While not exactly far, it gives you a sense for whether or not to buy a low end dSLR with a cheap lense or a high end…

Griffin iFill

Rockbox
Rockbox – Open Source Jukebox Firmware. Wow how cool. This is an open source firmware replacement for iPods as well as certain models of iRiver (H100 and H300), iAudio X5 and Archos.

Hard time to buy…
“Anandtech”:http://www.anandtech.com/guides/showdoc.aspx?i=2753 does another Buyer’s Guide. As he says, it is a hard time to recommend buying a desktop because both AMD and Intel are changing things so quickly. In a few weeks, AMD launches their AM2 platform. It isn’t any faster, but uses much cheaper DDR2 memory, so you should wait for that. On the…

Cable economics
Interesting to see how these niche sports folks are doing in terms of viewership on cable: * “OLN and TdF”:http://www.tdfblog.com/2005/07/sunday_tour_cov.html. They got 1.7M viewers or 418K households which was a 2.09 household rating. So its about 1M viewers for household rating.* “NBA and NHL”:http://www.multichannel.com/article/CA6329685.html. The NHL got a 0.3 household rating while ESPN’s NBA got…
