Microsoft emancipates Digital Cable Tuners with second Media Center update today

Nov 7th 2009 7:10AM on Engadget

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.

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

Nov 2nd 2009 12:33PM on Engadget

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

Sep 25th 2009 4:51PM on Engadget HD

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

Sep 22nd 2009 9:26AM on Engadget

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

Sep 6th 2009 10:44AM on Engadget

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

Aug 14th 2009 5:13PM on Engadget

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

Jul 27th 2009 6:47PM on Engadget

"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

Jul 7th 2009 4:12PM on Engadget

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.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
