But I think you missed my point, what is the financial stake for the reported to LIE. You are starting with the assumptions, I am saying if you view it from the above angle and ASSUME you don't know how is stretching the truth one party has a lot more financial stake than the other to lie.

Think about it for one second: who has more motive to outright lie? The reporter who will lose credibility and a job if caught in a blatant lie, or the company CEO who has hundreds of millions and his reputation invested in performance of the car? Stop just yelling how the reporter is in the pocket of big oil, show me his financial stake in Tesla failing. He may have opinions (right or wrong). It's pretty easy to see the financial interests of the CEO in Tesla not failing. If only people spend 5 seconds not being fooled by noise and just cut to the chase, even politics would work!

Feed Engadget: Canon said to be developing own tech for SED TV production (engadget.com)

After being hampered by habitual delays both legal and technical, it looks like the long-awaited über-tech of the display world may finally be on the cusp of reaching market, as Canon is reportedly developing a way to build surface-conduction electron-emitter display (SED) TVs without using contentious IP. Specifically, Japanese newspaper Asahi is reporting -- without citing sources -- that Canon is working on a "non-carbon" method of producing the sets that bypasses the Nano-Proprietary patents at the heart of that lawsuit. Still no hint on when we'll actually be able to install one of these models in our home theater, but the promise of unrivaled black levels, brightness, and contrast could well have us drinking the SED Kool-Aid for years to come.

Feed Science Daily: Cone-Beam CT Faster, Potentially More Accurate Than Conventional Mammography (sciencedaily.com)

From feed by sdfeed on Monday December 31, 2007 @06:13PM

Cone-beam breast CT provides exceptional tissue contrast and can potentially reduce examination time with comparable radiation dose to conventional 2D mammography, according to a new study. Cone-beam breast CT employs a large area x-ray beam in conjunction with a flat panel x-ray detector to scan and generate 3D images of the breast.

Ion-Mask Coating Could Make Waterproofing Electronics Easy 99

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday December 31, 2007 @06:03PM from the spray-on-foan-rubber dept.

Engadget is reporting that a new chemical coating, originally designed to repel toxic vapors and liquids from soldiers' uniforms, may be the solution to small waterproof electronics. "The Ion-Mask is a special invisible coating that is chemically bonded to the device and repels water. It should allow waterproofing to make it into devices that are too small for the seals that are usually used to do the trick. Devices can have joins and gaps coated for a general level of water repellence, or have individual components treated for even more protection."

Important exception: on all my Windows based PCs standby instead of hibernate works like you say, but will drain my battery in less than a day. I can put my Macs to sleep and most will last well over a week. Also I have many issues with standby coming back with various devices connected, not an issue on the Mac. So not quite the same.

Submission + - The Wii Disassembled

Submitted by mrmcgeeber on Monday November 20, 2006 @10:24PM

mrmcgeeber writes: There are two ways to take apart the Wii. The first, as demonstrated by Popular Science, involves breaking the Wii open due to a lack of tools. The second method is a more formal Wii disassembly guide, which is provided by InformIT.com. Either way, you can see some detailed pictures of the internals of the Wii and how the parts are laid out. The InformIT.com version also includes an eight minute teardown video.
