Valerie Singleton wants more Facebook friends, promotes Linux for the elderly

Nov 11th 2009 7:35AM on Engadget

To be honest, forget about the elderly, this would be perfect for the users at my workplace! (Although they would still need extensive training before being let loose on it and it would probably need the "Chat", "My Profile" and "Video Tutorial" buttons removed to help prevent any unnecessary complexity)

LaCie's Network Space 2 will assimilate your data, resistance is futile

Nov 4th 2009 9:26AM on Engadget

@Oli D

I have seen it happen. I agree it is sufficiently unlikely so as to be pointless for mr average, but if you have a small business and you need data backed up then the more backups the better.

Orange UK's iPhone contract & pay as you go pricing plans detailed

Nov 2nd 2009 9:20AM on Engadget

I wonder how much you have to pay on top of that to actually get reception?

Plus do you then have to pay extra to get customer service as when I was with orange I got the second worst service I have ever received from a company (in first place is The Student Loans Company)

@Feepness.

You too are incorrect, http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly.php

@Oflife

Surely a more mature gamer would be able to see through the graphics and would care more about gameplay. I am 33 and I have a wii to go alongside my 360 as I love the fun nature of the Wii games (which is the whole reason I got into games in the first place) I remember a time when core and casual were not used to describe games and everyone just got on with having fun (ahhh the 16 bit era.....)

It has a higher attach rate than the PS3.

One quarter of "broadband households" have digital photo frames, we find one for the rest of you

Oct 28th 2009 8:42AM on Engadget

I just can't see the appeal in these until they are made with colour e-ink displays. I do not want wires trailing from my photo frame over the fireplace, shelf etc and I do not want it glowing when I turn the lights off to watch a film etc.

Dyson DC25 Blueprint impressions: is the 'Ball' worth it?

I am also from the UK and everyone I know has an upright. In fact if you go into comet etc there are more upright cleaners than cylinder cleaners. Which UK are you from exactly? If you go to the argos site there is the following information
Upright bagless vacuum cleaners (50)
Cylinder bagless vacuum cleaners (47)

Which suggests that uprights are hardly rare in the UK.

Verizon Storm2 on October 28th, BlackBerry OS 5.0 for original Storm out now

Oct 26th 2009 10:23AM on Engadget

Interestingly (or not as may be) The click screen was one of the main reasons I got a storm. I tried the iphone and a couple of other touch screen phones and found the lack of tactile feedback a little odd. However I find the storm sureclick far easier to type on than other touch screens. The interface is ok but I hope Vodafone UK release v5 officially soon as it can be slow at times.

Yamaha's EC-f electric motorcycle has two wheels and one plug

It looks less ridiculous that those BMW mopeds with roofs! And I see quite a few of those around.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"For a long time I have been searching for a portable device where I can store all of my CDs in MP3 format and stream the songs wirelessly to my HiFi system. The portable device must I've tried FM transmitters, they all suck. I don't want a docking station. Any help? Thanks!" have a display so that I easily can scroll through the playlists (I don't want to use a TV or monitor). I suppose that there must also be a second device that is connected to the HiFi system that would receive the wireless streams from the portable device.
