Well, of course the FCC wants to get rid of free OTA because the government can't tax it in its current structure. But image all the new tax revenue if they could force that remaining 10% onto satellite or cable. Either they get to charge a fee in the bill, or if they provide "free" basic to people you know everyone will have to pay some "extended cable" tax like the phone tax during tax returns or something as an excuse for making it free.

This administration tries to make the middle class and below believe they are getting tax cuts, but people still fail to realize that EVERYONE pays taxes like sales tax or the potential cable taxes, regardless of your income level.

How are you even supposed to tell it's 1080p anyways? Does all this mean that uploading YouTube vids to HD is 1080p now instead of 720p regardless of the source resolution? And that video they had from yesterday mentioned that they were going back to re-encode all the HD vids to 1080p?

YouTube going 1080p, already?

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"With all the new multitouch capable monitors coming out, which one is the best? With the release of Windows 7 I really want a touchscreen monitor for my desktop. I'm looking to get a Full HD monitor that supports multitouch and can still look great during gaming and movies. Which one has the best specs for the price?"
