Filed under: Digital Cameras After a brief tease , Canon just got official with its EOS 5D Mark II.

Filed under: Displays AOC already dished out a number of HD LCD monitors for those with a few extra bucks to spare, but the 17-inch V17 keeps things relatively cheap ($199.99) and exceptionally thin. More specifically, the monitor checks in at just 12-millimeters deep — it’s no XEL-1 , sure, but that’s pretty frickin’ slim. Furthermore, it includes a built-in VGA webcam, glass base and integrated speakers to boot.

“Buzz Out Loud,” one of my favorite podcasts, disappoints me from time to time, specifically when the good folks at CNET decide to bash broadband companies and call them “jerks” and “evil.” So goes Episode 809 of Buzz Out Loud .  Molly Wood, Jason Howell, and guest host Don Reisinger declare AT&T’s decision to throttle U-Verse ( as reported by Ars-Technica ) to be just another dumb thing that stupid broadband companies do. One of their reasons for saying so is that AT&T’s U-Verse is fiber, but that’s not true.  U-Verse uses fiber to feed VRADs, or Video Ready Access Devices, that take that fiber and feed its signal out over legacy copper wires, in a sort of DSL adapted-to-video hybrid.
