People are just too lazy and busy these days. Too many small disposable electronics being created and thrown into landfills these days.

Update:
I got sooooo pissed off with AF and macro while trying to take these. I dozens and dozens of pics and scrapped 90% of them just because they weren't even close to being focused. In the end I just put AF on with continuous shooting and moved the camera forward and back to get a wide variety of focusing. Anyway, here's the one I like the most:

I've said it before and I'll say it again...
laptop > phone

My $15 refurbished ZTE F160 phone does everything I could ever want. It even has 3G capabilities but I won't ever use it (not even available at home, I have to go to the city to use it). My used "old" laptop will rape any phone in terms of performance and features. Netbooks, tablets, smart phones, etc, are pointless wastes to me. At least you can upgrade a laptop, netbooks are harder to upgrade and I bet tablets are impossible to upgrade aside from a SD card.

I'll post mine up after I finalize my overclock a bit more. Kinda sadface I didn't get to 4GHz but I'm at the top end of where the MHz per voltage increase drops off so I'm pleased.

Yea, Logitech is fail but there's worse out there. I remember when Kody got those, he was pretty pleased with them and that's what matters :)

But man, you gotta be able to push that RAM further! I'm at 1720MHz with 8-10-8-24-1T timings and I'm gonna keep pushing it. You should be able to hit CAS 7/8 with those.

I think it's good, I'm not sure how I could suggest improving it though. It's something above my skill level so as always I gotta give props for that :)

There's just so much more customization with a DIY surround setup. Sony's all-in-one could have an awesome receiver/amp but sub-par speakers. The thing is, you can buy a receiver/amp that will last you forever and just change/upgrade speakers until you find something you like. Not $1000 when you feel like upgrading.

I guess if you blindly throw enough money at something, you'll get good results. I just... you could probably pay less to have better sound quality if you looked around and learned a few things. All-in-one Sony systems can't be that great. But, congrats on getting it working, that could be your first step into DIY stuff.

I really like the lighting. Maybe more dof.

Thanks. The sun was setting and I was changing settings like mad so I could cherry pick the better exposures when I got back inside. That was shot with Aperture priority at f/2.8 and saturation boost on the camera. I like the details of the fuzzy leaves.

Crysis 2  fried my new GPU nuff said!

Must have been something wrong with it and the load caused it to fail. Probably would have happened with any demanding game.

I think I might send an e-mail to Technical Pro about how much RMS comes out of each channel because I'm really curious.

Post your findings here, I'm curious as well.

Yea, 200 RMS isn't bad. I think my current amp is either 10 or 20watts per channel. Even if you go 200/7 channels, that's 28.5wpc. Maybe it's 200 RMS WPC? Still, it looks great for the price. I'd like to hear it in person.

I'm pretty sure you can drive 4 floor speakers with this. The site isn't very specific but it's apparently rated 200watts RMS @ 8ohms. I own the thing but even I don't know if it's 200watts per channel or if it's 200watts total. But either way it'll drive floor speakers no problem.
Seriously? The one I saw on eBay mentioned 1500 watt output and I laughed.
