AIST unveils flexible display created with microcontact printing {Engadget}
Jun 10th 2008 7:35PM So this might end up in actual products in 7 years?! I sure am glad I have this news source to keep me up to speed on breaking events.
Scientists devise software that can interpret attractiveness {Engadget}
Apr 5th 2008 12:33PM I just patented a system that can do this for male subjects. A subject merely enters a special card into a conveniently located machine. The male subject is then asked to enter a Private Identification Number. Moments later, after the Automated Teller Machine runs a complicated algorithm a number directly corresponding to the male subject's relative attractiveness is printed up on a convenient receipt.
GM cranks up battery tests for plug-in Volt {Engadget}
Apr 5th 2008 9:43AM Dude, not even engineering societies have any kind of actual consensus on what is a motor and what is an engine so go blow it out your ass. Even the definitions they sort of agree upon (internal fule source=engine, external fuel source=motor) they recognize as arbitrary and lacking in real descriptive usefullness, so, again, get bent.
GM cranks up battery tests for plug-in Volt {Engadget}
Apr 5th 2008 9:27AM Look, as frustrating as it is for those that do not understand it, the world majority of affluent, and by "affluent" I mean on the level of American-style middle-class and up, want a big car. Preaching is not going to get that to change.Therefore, it makes the most sense to work on solutions that will effect the type of vehicles that people actually aspire to buy.
Nanochip technology offers up cheap, 100GB flash memory alternative {Engadget}
Feb 12th 2008 12:00PM I don't know, are we sure that shock and vibration have the type of deleterious effect on structures at that scale? I mean, in theory I agree that moving parts = bad but this isn't inches of spinning platters this is nanometers of silicon. How do structures of that size respond to shaking and being dropped?
Intel, friend of memory, doubles phase-change capacity {Engadget}
Feb 7th 2008 10:32AM The reason to two other distinct phases double capacity is not because they are going to be used in addition to the other two phases but because they are less distinct than the other two and thus easier to create. It is the same thing as requiring less of a voltage difference to read current memory. So, Dorks, this has nothing to do with changing the mathematical base of whatever.
Tangent's Cinque radio does DAB and more on your tabletop {Engadget}
Feb 1st 2008 11:21AM Excuse me, Engadget, I am from central casting. We have reports that one of our missing stereotypical "dudes from England" was seen here using words like "tonne" and "half a monkey". If he passes through here again could you please beat his limey ass and give us a call? Thanks
Researchers hope to charge up gadgetry with body heat {Engadget}
Jan 22nd 2008 7:28AM Look, I didn't mean to come off as so hostile. I was trying to sort of mock a group that I belong to. I mean, you don't see the silliness in only seeing such petty uses for a technology to more efficiently convert waste heat to electricity? I only meant the nerds tend to be fairly narrow in our focus. I am sorry if I offended.
Researchers hope to charge up gadgetry with body heat {Engadget}
Jan 21st 2008 5:39PM Are you people freaking crazy? The billions of dollars spent every month keeping warm things cool and the most interesting application we can think up is charging our iphones? Don't any of you actually pay your own electric bills in the summer?
I hate nerds.
Optimus Maximus in minimus sub-$1000 configurations {Engadget}
Nov 28th 2007 10:19AM So, let me get this straight, you can actually buy these things now? Seriously, I thought this was going to eventually ship with a free copy of Duke Nukem forever.
