Since when? 2009.

You couldn't even be bothered to google the nonsense you're spouting before claiming I'm the troll?

Given that nothing factual in your post is correct, the only thing I can assume is that you're the troll, and that I'm feeding you. Congrats on a well-played hand of stupidity!

First - if it's working correctly you shouldn't even notice it. Second, Sanyo has been doing this for a few years in their projectors. The yellow panel helps warm up the color range and keep your tv's backlight from getting too far in the blue range. Read Sanyo's whitepaper: http://us.sanyo.com/shared/docs/QuaDrive_SANYO_WhitePaper08.pdf Alternatively try searching for Sanyo Quadrive

Photovoltaics routinely exceed 20%.

No that is wrong, please don't disseminate this sort of misinformation. The most efficient PV panels you can buy today are rated less then 20% efficiency, and that's per cell, a whole panel will be several percent lower. That's in ideal conditions - heat, inverters, charge controllers, batteries all knock a big chunk of that efficiency.

No, you are wrong...well, not exactly wrong, but you too are spreading mis-information. My solar panels on Monday produced energy for the day at ~900 Wh/m^2, and that is AC watts, so not your "ideal" number, a real number complete with conversion losses. My city's 30 year maximum flat panel solar radiation exposure for the month of January (from here) was 5.6 kWh/m^2-day. So let's assume Monday matched that maximum, that means my system hit 16% real world efficiency. I don't have the most efficient panels you can buy today, today's most efficient panels outperform mine by over 15%. That's now approaching the 20% quoted by the grandparent. I agree, it is incorrect to state "photovoltaics routinely exceed 20%" in the context of AC watts, but it is correct to state panels approach 20% and therefore cells exceed 20%.

And as I stated in another post, it sure looks to me like economically my panels are kicking the tar out of this idea in terms of cost and production.

Compared to tantalum capacitors, these capacitors reach much higher capacities at the same physical volume, and the same or better ESL/ESR.

See for example here:

• United Chemi-Con PSA series
• Famous Sanyo OS-CON

These aluminium electrolytic capacitors, with a solid conductive polymer electrolytic find their way even on most current mainboards, most often in the CPU DC-DC convertor circuits. They're usually easily recognizable from classic electrolytics by their small size and metal casing without a plastic sleeve.

A benefit from an all-solid-polymer capacitor mainboard is dubious, since classic alimuium electrolytic capacitors work just fine in many roles they're needed for, particularly in low-ripple-current situations.

Clearly some marketing PHB wants to make money selling me ringers (which will never happen, I make my own), and forcing me to add the Internet service. At least that has some utility. Don't expect much in terms of flexibility when it comes mobile phones.

Well. It has a Compact Flash slot and plays MP3s. Not to mention Sanyo phones handle a signal better than any other.

No offense but I don't think the Garmin cuts it in terms of features, there are lots of other portable navigation systems, the Sanyo NV-E7000 being one of them (but there are also some from JVC, Panasonic, ...). Much more sexy, a little more pricey too (~+$200). It's got a sort of cradle system too, so you can take it with you when you don't use it. You can even use it to walk in the street if you really want to ;)

TV space? Just install hooks into the beams of the ceiling, and hang the things.

Now, my personal favorite is a projector and screen. this
or this

Expensive but fun.

I am in the market for a monitor(well, actually a TV/Monitor combo) so I headed on over to Sanyo's site. any company that makes a Hello Kitty toaster has to be an awesome company. I would order one cept I don't have $40 to burn :(

My cell phone (a Sanyo SCP-8100) has a GPS receiver built right into it, for "emergency call tracking". I imagine it's for law enforcement tracking as well, although the manual doesn't say that explicitly. I'm a bit miffed that they won't at least allow me to see my own GPS coordinates...

I'm sure that $100 was with new activation or through some retention plan offering. However, the 8100 is still only $200 if you bought it outright with no plan (there was a general $50 rebate 2 months ago from RS that worked even without activation). Sprint phones are not as cheap initially but considerably cheaper when bought without a plan upgrade or extension compared to other carriers prices. I just replaced a stolen Sanyo 4900 and it was only $150. Verizon and others typically add at least $200 to every phone they sell if you are not a new subscriber or updating your existing phone through the retention department, kinda sucks paying $229 for a bare bones Nokia or Motorola. I guess if you never loose, break, or want a new phone without signing a new contract, the Verizon method of phone pricing might work for you. Just one of the many differences between the current cellular providers I thought I'd point out.

Don't you guys have auto completion? On my sister's nokia its 628 for net and 266 for com. Its amazing at how fast you can talk when its enabled.. makes SMS and AIM on cell phones actually worth using for short conversations =)

On a similar topic, Does anyone have this phone?, I am considering purchasing it and wondering how well it works.

If I wanted to hear something meow, I'd have somebody call my cell phone.

Well the sustained rate isn't so important now that companies like Plextor and others have
started using drives with BURN-Proof technolog licensed from Sanyo
Basically its a way of having the CD-R/RW stop its burn in the middle of toasting,
thereby saving the disk and data until the hdd can start sending data again.
Theres a better explanation here
