STUFF • Democracy Works: Or at least it should. We've been tweaking our RSS feeds. • Daniel's looking for a tool to automatically generate the XML for an RSS feed. We use a custom tool, so that's out. Got a suggestion for Dan? Email us! • Headphones under $100? We've got two suggestions for Michel! BTW, we love nosing around the Headroom website to check out the mad array of headphones and gear... they've got some pretty solid reviews, too. • "Why are web cams so darn "up and down the ladder" on prices?" Bob, it's all about glass, sensors, processing and build quality.... other than that, not much difference between them! • H.264 rendering? We found the Mac Pro 25% faster than the G5, Curtis... throw more memory at it and it gets even faster. • Matt's looking for an external battery for his notebook. Electrovaya offers models up to 300Wh, they're the Cadillac, but they aren't cheap. APC has a low cost 80Wh Universal Notebook Battery that sells for under $200. • Joe says "Blu-ray burners have dropped under $599!" • Lego flamethrower? Very cool. Thanks for the heads up, Matthew!
