Microsoft emancipates Digital Cable Tuners with second Media Center update today {Engadget}
Nov 7th 2009 7:10AM Good luck finding a working link to buy the ATI DCT. All the links I've tried are inundated, broken or want $300. The demand for this tuner skyrocketed in minutes.
HTC's HD2 has landed at Engadget (hands-on) {Engadget}
Nov 4th 2009 12:56PM slide out keyboard with same thinness? no no no. too fragile. Talk about snap crackle and pop in your pants.
TAG Heuer Meridiist Lamborghini model announced, snickered at {Engadget}
Nov 2nd 2009 12:33PM That's what I was thinking. I could make replicas of this vintage phone in my garage. Heckofalot easier than reproducing a decent Rolex.
Microsoft Media Center CEDIA predictions wrap-up {Engadget HD}
Sep 25th 2009 4:51PM I think you have to look at all the WMC7 does over what a DVR can do. When I have get-togethers, I cam the event with my Canon Vixia HD camcorder. I'm getting pretty fast at whipping out HD movies in AVCHD using Sony Vegas. My HTPC stores all my pics, HD movies, live TV, Netflix etc. The WMC7 GUI is just beautiful. Friends think it's just the slickest media server.
However, if you're just recording or time-shifting TV events, ya... wifey will want to stick with the cable-co's STB.
Video: Mantys golf caddy wants to electrify your game {Engadget}
Sep 22nd 2009 9:26AM How am I supposed to talk bidness with a potential and write-off the golf game? Do I have to rent one for the other guy too? And then picture two polyester-clad golfers on these thing swapping-paint while talking bidness to the next hole. How about a fat tired electric ATV?
New ThinkPad keyboard features crowdsourced design, lower price {Engadget}
Sep 6th 2009 10:44AM Glad to have a cheap competitor to the Logitech DiNovo (the original). The first DiNovo keyboard looks a LOT like this and uses Bluetooth. The batteries last forever, it's sleek.
The keys are too noisy and the grey gun metal frame with black keys is sexxay. BUT Logitech wants way too much for it and the Bluetooth receiver is a huge mouse cradle.
Me likes this keyboard.
Paul Sr. demonstrates OCC's electric chopper, Fox News seems mystified {Engadget}
Aug 14th 2009 5:13PM First, this article is mistitled. If you watch the video (and I watched it live), Fox had to tell remind Paul a few things about the bike, they weren't "mystified". The Fox-hate truly is aged and unwarranted. Watch them all. Read the anchor's books and quit judging by what the "cool" crowd says.
TASER X3 triple-shot stunner arrives, subdues population {Engadget}
Jul 27th 2009 6:47PM "Warning arc"? From the website and all info I can gather about Tasers, you get 1 (or 3) shots. If you miss, the perp is on you and your Taser is useless. Why not put a traditional stun gun on the Taser in case you miss? .. or get a .38 special.

Panasonic banks on robot drug dispensers {Engadget}
Jul 7th 2009 4:12PM They've got the lab specimen version of this on some hospitals, like Presbyterian Dallas, TX. Slow is an understatement, but do drug dispensers need to be fast? (wait, forget I said that). I really don't see how this thing is going to work. Who makes sure the correct patient takes all of their prescribed meds? BTW, if it's like the robots at the Houston VA, they have their own elevators with doorways far too narrow for American butts.
