    WiiGig, that could have also been the new Wii peripheral or game.

    I don't know what Beamforming is, but I am already afraid it will give me cancer.

    @njdevil: Would you outlaw cars because 43,000 people die in car crashes each year in the U.S.?

    There's simply no way to instantly transport living humans via subspace without beamforming. Surely that's worth a few extra mutated cells from time to time.

    Gigabit Wi-Fi. 2012.
    Windows 8. 2012.
    Oprah's show goes off the air. 2011

    Yep. The predictions are right. Everyone will be panicing about Oprah going off the air, and in the midst of that, they'll be trying to get Windows 8 to work with their new 1Gbit/s wireless routers. People will go genocidal. December 2012 really IS the end of the world.

    Windows 7 Starter is such an embarressment some desreves to get fired for suggesting it.

    If my 4 year old desktop can handle Win7 Ultimate and respectable rates, whats wrong with a much more updated and advanced netbook? I feel ashamed for getting my HP Mini with Starter, I should have kept looking for one that had XP installed...

    @aniteshj: It's not about performance, it's about market segmentation. They want to sell Starter dirt cheap for netbooks (I don't know how much, like... $5-$10 OEM), while not cannibalizing their normal laptop/desktop sales (which are like $50-75 for the big OEMs).

    @jepzilla: Oh but at the same time its the more embarresing pile of shit to exist.

    What went wrong with simply doing what XP did in terms of different versions. No, I will do one better.

    Fuck market segregation what this is telling me is that I need to splay out another 80 bucks to upgrade on the spot to Home premium (Windows 7) just so I can change my bloody wallpaper? REALLY?!

    How far was the stick shoved up someones ass when they thought up of THAT limitation!

    AAA batteries for power! I was worried it would be some proprietary or, heaven forbid, unreplacable lithium-ion job, but if it's put together properly it could indeed last a lifetime.

    Hmm pretty cool! I recently lost like 30 lbs and tracked it using a regular scale and WeightBot for iPhone.

    In reply to Withings Wi-Fi Scale Review (A Scale For the Year 2010)
    Scales estimate your body fat by measuring the impedance of an electric current sent through your body. It sounds really unreliable.

    In case I wasn't the only one who wondered how that worked.

    Cool scale.

    This was totally my senior design project (although a bit prettier and less wire-y).

    As someone who weighed 330 lbs. 2 years ago and now weighs 245 lbs., let me tell you that the idea that being held accountable by a public weight graph/blog is a very good idea for weight loss. It worked for me anyway.

    I have it and like it. My only complaint has been that I've already needed to replace the batteries once, and I've only had it for about a month and a half.

    how does the scale know which user is being weighed?
    do you have to go online and associate the data with a user?

    @jayteemo: The first time, yeah. And then it can guess which user has similar body fat/weight/bmi whenever it weighs you, to associate. Sometimes it gets confused, but you can assign the rogue weight manually.

    Since my wife and I started working out together I think this would be a good purchase for us so we can track our progress. $160 isn't too bad, but I won't give it to my wife as a gift. I will just buy it this week, set it up and drop it in the bathroom. Don't want to bring up an argument and get kicked in the hanging brains. :

    @ichiban1081: Ok...normally, I'd flip my lid if you said we were getting a $160 scale. Given our goals and the work that's going into this process, we can call it an investment. It satisfies your need to fill our home with tech toys and my need for a scale.
