US Army considering Mobile WiMax for military use

and here I was, thinking the US army was considering Mobile WiMax for civilian use......

London hit by malware-infected USB ruse

because disabling autorun involves editing the registry. most home users don't know:
a) what autorun is
b) they can disable autorun
c) how to disable autorun.

on top of that, when autorun is disabled, windows won't show the name of the CD in the drive, unless you booted with it in there. most home users don't like that.

Darpa nerds want a "replicator," female companionship

Mar 20th 2007 12:49PM on Engadget

it's a transmission device. what does this have to do with 'Star Trek" replicators?

it's basically just a sheet of paper that writes on itself. big deal.

and where was female companionship mentioned at all?

New York takes a second look at banning spinners

@mike:

because depth perception is NOT exact in humans. humans tend to rely on other visual cues, such as the relative motion of the rim to the car body.

I think these sort of things might be banned for causing distraction, and thus endangering others, along with unnecessary flashy lights.

Researchers solve the "Cocktail Party Problem"

Aug 24th 2006 5:09PM on Engadget

an interesting article, but did we really have to try to skew that as govt. evilness?

i can think of 100s of legitamite uses, and i really don't think the capability to eavesdrop slightly more easily was the intention of these researchers.

personally, I want to be able to run a song thru this sort of 'black box', seperate out the different instruments and voices, and be able to remix them. (for example, selectively removing the voice track, to create a kareoke track)

Does Blizzard need a little help with StarCraft 2?

Aug 2nd 2006 2:06AM on Joystiq

hmm. I too would love a starcraft in 3D.
and maybe some more convenient control functions

especially, a real way to control more than 1 person at a time, or deal with groups over 12.

just some extra stuff.

the only thing I would worry about is, a lot of starcrafts poularity comes from its simplicity. point and click. minerals and gas. stuff like that.

hopefully they don't overload it, that's all.

if they actually do anything, that is...

Pope Benedict XVI scores 2GB iPod nano, wanted 4GB

Mar 5th 2006 3:19AM on Engadget

on a side note:
the photoshopper didnt make the pope completely black.
if you look at it closely, you can make out the face and details of the robe.

other than that:
the pope gets an iPod. remind me what the big deal is?
(just 'cus he's special....)

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
