]]> <![CDATA[cudthecrud commented on Chi Lin's Liquid-Cooled LED Projector Has 6-Year Lamp Life, Expertly Renders Rich Blackness of David Hasselhoff's Eyes]]> But with only 600 lumens you have to have a serious home theater with good lighting controls. It won't work well if you're just closing your cheap walmart blinds to the afternoon sun.

]]> <![CDATA[cudthecrud commented on Slightly Strange, Awesome New Battlefield Heroes Trailer]]> It seems kind of refreshing to have a multiplayer shooter that's based on shenanigans without so much emphasis on cutting edge graphics. I thought my computers were retired from FPS's, but maybe they're not as feeble as I thought.

]]> <![CDATA[cudthecrud commented on Gish Creator Enters The Aether]]> I'm still not sure what you guys think this game has in common with Braid or Portal besides their indie-ish roots and Braid's music, but whatever. The game was neat, although I'm not sure the game mechanics could be expanded to more puzzles easily. At least not without more interactive elements. And the puzzles were fairly one dimensional; just accomplish objective X to make planet happy, with the art and dialogue acting as sort of a veil to hide the simplicity of the puzzles. Neat concept, design, and music and I don't know what sort of complexity I'm really expecting from a free "art" flash game.

]]> <![CDATA[cudthecrud commented on Mythbusters Will "Prove" Moon Landing Wasn't a Hoax]]> @JEmlay: You must have good eyes. I can see the whole moon, sometimes even the face, but I have trouble seeing the rocks.
We bounce lasers off of mirrors left by some of the moon missions daily to determine the precise distance away it is.

]]> <![CDATA[cudthecrud commented on Elmo Live Available for Pre-Order, $60 If You Love Your Children]]> I only went for two a few days ago when they first went on pre-sale, which is one extra for re-sale or for my own amusement, market pending. I remember the horror stories of people with closets full of PS3s that had to sell them for less than they paid.

]]> <![CDATA[cudthecrud commented on Verizon FiOS: How They're Futurizing TV Faster Than AT&T and Big Cable]]> I've been able to pause an HD feed, swap to my other tuner, pause that HD feed, then swap back again for a while. Just a dual tuner HD DVR from comcrap. I think I like the sound of Uverse better (although I can't get either in my area).

Nice find!

]]> <![CDATA[cudthecrud commented on MUTO is Among the More Astounding Videos We've Seen Online...or Off]]> It's very Bill Plympton ish. I've always really liked his animation. I remember seeing it on MTV during Liquid Television, which was awesome but it seems like no one remembers it.

]]> <![CDATA[cudthecrud commented on Zero Punctuation Takes On Ctrl+Alt+Del]]> I very much enjoyed Concerned.
If CAD wants to be a story, then it should have a story arc and then end. If it wants to tell jokes, it should just do that (if he feels like maximizing the potential to entertain me, personally). I feel the same way about tv series; I think they should all end after a couple of seasons instead of perpetually dragging out. Or at least have very discrete season wrap ups, like Weeds, Dexter, etc....

tangent: Whatever happened to Breaking Bad? I was just getting into their messed up story arc and then the show just disappeared.

]]> <![CDATA[cudthecrud commented on Sony Bravia Internet Link Gets YouTube, Panda Sneeze Still Lame in HD]]> I haven't been bold enough yet to try and record my wife on our wii fit doing her thing; often in as much clothing as well so that it thinks she's lighter. I definitely wouldn't post it on youtube, though.

]]> <![CDATA[cudthecrud commented on Mystery Of Strange Things Found In Vitamin Water Solved: Harmless Mold]]> @B: they pasteurize the drinks, so there should be nothing living inside after they are sealed.

@The Marionette: water, sugar, and salt (aka electrolytes). The sugar and flavor were used to mask the salty nature of the drink. The salt is good for replacing all the salt your body loses to sweat and other excreted fluids.

]]> <![CDATA[cudthecrud commented on Doctors Using Pig Powder to Regrow a Soldier's Finger]]> I doubt the "pixie dust" could convince the resident stem cells both to proliferate and also differentiate appropriately. Those two signaling pathways are often at odds with each other to keep your body from becoming a giant cancer. I am incredibly skeptical that any finger features would be restored as well, like fingerprint/nail/knuckle/knuckle hair. I'd love to be wrong, though. It would personally open up some very interesting questions in the field and spur stem cell research to some new, interesting places. As a scientist working in mainly adult stem cells, I think anytime the cutting edge and fringe co-mingle, there's some very fascinating studies that result.

Although an Akira like scenario would be interesting. Tetsuoooooo!!!

]]> <![CDATA[cudthecrud commented on Magnetic BBQ Tool Light Brightens Up Your Beef]]> Anything non-incandescent that I've used makes the meat look funky colored. Not good for precision grilling by a master like myself. Anyone in northern California (Sacramento area) know where I can buy a brisket (uncooked of course)?
