for 6 grand, you could build a hackintosh that could beat the pants off of even the greatest Mac Pro, and still have a couple bucks left for sushi.

It's true, there's nothing inherently "low budget" about high frame rates. However, historical precedent is a bitch. With 100 years of high-budget filming done at 24P, and the last several decades of filming low-budget broadcast TV at 30P or 60i, the general media-viewing public is conditioned to the particular…

Where do you get a "Vintage Neve" ANYTHING for 400 dollars?! Our studio paid several grand for a couple of pre-amp modules.

And then, through the use of motion, give away a more gelatinous experience than a trip to the Jello factory?

A Ford doesn't leave a trail of blue ovals behind it, so that you know a Ford just drove down the road.

Launch codes? I just thought someone lit the fuse in the back and ran the other way.

the F/A-18 super hornet is certainly nothing to sneeze at.

I don't stop to think that, because clearly either the regulations aren't enforced well, or aren't written well enough, because this disaster became as bad as it did due to under-regulated equipment and practices. Examples include the failed blow-out preventer, shoddy concrete linings. Later on they were pouring…

The news here: Airplane bathrooms have a power outlet.

The drum machine is a pointless, anachronistic, and expensive purchase when there are so many other electronic options in software (if you can't just record acoustic drums). Loops and multi-layer simulators such as sophisticated drummer add a human-ish touch when used with midi pads. Done correctly and mixed right,…

Or, $3000/1.001.

An "entire home studio" would be a hell of a lot more than this... Then again, most people don't need and can't use an entire home studio anyway, and will rarely have an entire room to devote specifically to music. If they do, they'll likely be spending more than 2 grand.

Adobe Audition is amazing, though Adobe removed a lot of features from version 5.

As much as it is appreciated that Gizmodo is trying to assist its musically inclined readers, this article omits some EXTREMELY important details, and many of the items on here have less expensive alternatives.

In a perfect world yes, they'd have a perfectly trained dog with a perfect sense of road hazards. Unfortunately, many legally blind individuals don't, and there have already been instances of injuries with hybrids happening for years... hence the motivation for this kind of solution. Plus, as the anechoic chamber…

I think it's the same kid... he's just paying the price now.

This is designed primarily with those lacking the physical capability to look both ways in mind.

Ives does most of the work, and Jobs gets all the credit.

It is exactly the opposite of that, actually. Hopefully I can explain in layman's terms without screwing up the science too much: It has to do with the directionality of light. The size of the aperture is directly related to the size of the "circle of confusion" in unfocused spots. When the aperture is small, the…

Very well said! There is one exception to the metric fuck ton rule - Old lenses from manual SLR's can generally be converted for new cameras. The majority will fit any Canon SLR (nikon has a longer flange distance), and the rest can all be used on any NEX or 4/3 camera. This is one of the reasons that old lenses have…
