Actually, no it wouldn't be cheaper to switch back, the old style bulbs use significantly more electricity than the LED bulbs not to mention the labor costs of getting someone out there with a bucket truck to replace the bulbs when they burn out, old bulb use a ton of electricity 100% of the time, but you only need the heat to melt the snow maybe a couple hundred hours worth of time a year and even still a heating element would likely use less power than the old bulbs as halogen/incandecent bulbs get extrememly hot, much hotter than is needed to melt snow.

And on top of it all i'd wager there are far more accidents caused by burnt out bulbs than a snow obstructed bulbs.
Can't use the keyboard to text with (at least acording to the link)? fail. I totally love the concept of a phone that has windows xp, I could ditch the UMPC and go with a single all in one device, but being unable to text with the full qwerty keyboard makes it fairly useless as the majority of my phone use is texts not phone calls.
Well as crappy as everyone else, except windows mobile which depending on which browser you use does have flash support, and siverlight support for that matter ;)
Please manufactuers stop with the damn Atom 230/270 processor, it's far to underpowered for even simpler tasks, the 330 is only like $20 more and is much better, well unless you like looking at a spinning hour glass, then maybe the single core Atom is fine.
That just made my day, now hopefully it will be coming to AT&T :)
I have it on my HTZ Fuze (aka Touch Pro) and never noticed any issues on it in terms of refresh rate.
Well I don't know about " leap way out in front" seeing as Windows mobile has had full flash and Silverlight 2.0 for a while now via the Skyfire browser.
I'd rather the old PS3 over the new slim one personally, the size difference is really irellivant as to where I or most consumers would put their system and the old one is the far better looking of the two, nice glossy black finish with chrome capacitive eject and power buttons vs cheapo looking matte plastic and physical buttons and the electricity cost from the 30 Watt lower power consuptions is negligable less than $3/year for 24/7 usage, the only real advantages I can see are the bigger HDD (HDD's are cheap) and the Bravia sync which is only usefull if you own a Sony TV which I do, it's still not enough to want the slim over the old one imo. oh, and of course an extra $24 if you want to stand it vertically.

I'm actually really shocked Sony would make those poor aesthetic choices given how much how a product looks tends to be accounted for when people buy most anything.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
