  1. Will talking about his daughter double fisting suckers sounds like my daughter when she realized that all the boxes in her little pale were full of delicious smarties (Canadian smarties, not ‘rockets’) and went crazy.

  2. much prefer higher bit rates over resolution common mistake people make is to think quality of an image comes solely from resolution . i used spend allot time trying to explain to people on you tube for a short time the difference but it all falls to death ears. always been fan of higher bit-rate on 720p which makes video higher quality then average you tube 1080p video.

    but also its real load of nonsense what some people are trying to pass as 2k video on you tube and on other sites guess art of compression is lost to average person or i have become obsessed with compression since started my job.

  3. I still have the Original kindle non keyboard and I love it..I will upgrade it when It dies…how that will happen i don’t know..if it is dark I will read the kindle app on My Phablet…

  4. i have been looking at black magic range of cameras for while now like idea of trying out pocket camera. and i don’t think there issue with res or bit-rate for the podcast its perfectly fine for when you are just sitting there talking. but 60 might be nice for octoberkast if get more Lego building action going on the screen or just for when Alexis inevitable gets slapped for electrons, doctors and kids

  5. Does anyone have a link to Jeremy’s shirt? I was intrigued when I heard about it, only to later find the video doesn’t have a nice angle to show it off (and I guess I’m just not hitting the right search results for the creator’s name). Probably the last thing I need is another shirt, but I’m curious!.

  6. Complaining that a $200 dollar device from Microsoft is to expensive and being completely fine with the equivalent $500 apple device is shocking. How does a site that’s supposed to be reviewing things just blatantly show that you’re apple fan boys. Apple could release the exactly same device as Microsoft and charge $1000 for it and you’d be all over it. That’s pathetic!

  7. What is that Incensent clicking in the background ?….I keep pulling my headphones off thinking it’s one of my servers…….

  8. You were talking about smart watches that have activity tracker features. Check out the New Garmin 920XT, although a hardcore sport watch it has also has all the features of an activity tracker, sleep tracker and basic smart watch capability. Also looks like they will have ‘apps’ coming in Jan/Feb next year.
