Signatures are pretty cool! The white or silver (Can't tell from the video) really makes it!

Thanks to Darrin Lynch for joining us today

Actually, along with that, just make sure you try all the different USB ports on your computer. Interference can still be an issue even if on board audio isnt being used and the levels of interference will differ from port to port.

Damn man, that sucks. As I said I'm not a camera guy (Just killing some time on the forums before WAN show time) so have no other help. Perhaps a local camera shop can help you out with troubleshooting?

as far as I know (Someone may be able to either back me up or correct me as im not 100%) because its not using either your front panel audio on your case or the audio ports directly from the Mobo and instead is coming from USB it is not using the Mobo onboard audio solutions at all. Usually hissing is caused by interference along cables. My headphones for example hiss when plugged into the front panel audio becuase there the cable connecting those ports to my mobo runs past nearly everything in my case causing the interference. HOWEVER, installing the correct drivers for the codex counteracts this interference and removes the hiss caused by it. My tip would be to ensure you have any drivers installed correctly for the Kracken which may help alleviate the issue. If not, you may need to RMA them. I really dont think because they are USB that onboard audio is causing the issue.

Sounds like a keyboard issue to me. The fact that its not just "system keys" (I mean letters, modifiers, numbers) and is effecting the backlight key too is telling me its not software!

What kind of information are you looking it to display? My board (MSI) boots starting with an MSI logo > Black screen > Windows 7 animation.

Cool, let us know if it works! Fingers crossed

Im not a camera person myself, but I do know what softstone is trying to get done! Remove that clock battery and the main one for 5 or 10 minutes. without power, the camera will have no way of remembering settings and will default to its standard ones. After 5/10 minutes put both back in (You dont have to replace the clock battery, the same one can be used) and see if that works.

According to this, I think you just shift the connection over so you dont use the two left most pins. The extra two pins are just ground apparently! http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/A-M-and-Edge-Series-ThinkCentre/ThinkCentre-A60-front-panels-power-audio-and-USB-pinout/td-p/190651

So, turns out its NOT just over wifi. It can be implemented over cellular network also. Seems that its not only for WIFI enabled devices and even the likes of laptops hardwiring into a network too! "Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are now described in detail. It will be appreciated that while these exemplary embodiments are described primarily in the context of a WiFi (i.e., IEEE Std. 802.11) air interface and protocol, this context is merely illustrative, and the invention is in no way so limited to WiFi applications (or any other air interface or specification). For example, the invention may be readily practiced within the context of a PAN (e.g., 802.15), WiMAX (802.16), MWBA (802.20), or even cellular (e.g., 3G) network. " I suppose having a patent is one thing, but the physical devices that would be required to carry out this don't exist yet as far as I know! Not comfortable with the direction were going with the likes of this, net neutrality and all that other guff. Sorry times! No idea on the language (Not the best coder at ALL) but I loled!

Well, that's the thing. The patent makes a point of saying that although the tech has the ability to ask the user to accept before doing anything, that is not a requirement for it to work and it can "Take control" without this step. The legal side of this is sketchy to say the least to me and I would fully agree that it would be illegal to do this without the user either being given an onscreen prompt or being told they are entering an area where it is being enforced. I do know that mobile signal jammers are illegal, which has me thinking that this is done via WIFI. If it does this could mean that turning off wifi means they can do squat!

This is the issue I have exactly. There are many annoying things about phones going off when there not supposed too, but in some cases there justified. Going to have a proper read over this during the day to see exactly what were in for!

So, a friend posted a link to the below patent on facebook that caught my eye. The TLDR seems to be that locations such as cinemas can have a "wireless device" that forces all WLan enabled phones into a set state when they are located in a predetermined area. This state includes (but doesn't seem to be limited too) * reduced brightness * muted sounds * disconnect all Bluetooth devices * force into sleep Having a read through the claims it seems that although these are all options, they are do not HAVE to give the user any notice or request permission to do so. "Alternatively, the method further comprises providing a user of the user wireless device at least one opportunity of accepting or rejecting association with the access point before the association is created and the at least one policy enforced" I think it's fairly easy to get around by just turning Wi-Fi off or not connecting to that network, but it's late here and I'm not 100% sure that I have a true grasp on the ins and outs. Definitely interesting technology, but I'm really not comfortable with that at all. As my friend said on facebook when posting it, if it didn't require the user to accept and didn't revolve around Wi-Fi networks, forcing the phone into a sleep state and rendering the phone useless is definitely not good! Wouldn't mind seeing what you guys make of it! Sorry for shoddy formatting, on mobile!
