  1. Google Spam on The Man Who (Really) Makes Google Tick · · Score: 5, Informative

    What bugs me about Google is all the aggregators and useless pages-full-o-links-without-any-content sites that show up so high in the results when you are seeking, for example, technical information about _X_ piece of hardware.

    Was looking for setup details on a Siemens router today, so I googled the brand and model #. The first few pages were results from overpriced worthless drop-ship web "retailers" instead of useful information. Isn't that stuff supposed to be over on Froogle instead?

  2. Re:Connection speed??? on In-Flight Wi-Fi Makes its Debut · · Score: 1
    Connexion provides 1 Mbps of upstream and at least 5 Mbps of downstream via satellite

    That's a lot better than Starband and Direcway in my experience.

  3. Re:This fills and interesting niche...for now on Redesigned iConsole for Ford Explorer · · Score: 1
    To my knowledge, no factory stereos come with line in inputs on either the rear of the desk (difficult to use) or on the front of the unit which is much easier.

    My 2005 Chrysler Town & Country's factory DVD changer has RCA inputs directly on the front: video in (to run into the flip down LCD screen) and L/R audio in. I use a mini plug to RCA cable and play the iPod through the factory audio. Awesome sound.
