the funniest part is his profile picture. I thought this crap happened in our 30's-40's.

Poll: Extended warranties, necessity or shakedown?

Dec 6th 2007 4:16PM on Engadget

I have not purchased many high-end electronics, and so have not been confronted with this decision, but purchasing an extended 3rd party warranty seems to be a lot like gambling. You bet the product you just dropped mucho dinero for breaks (seemingly betting against yourself), 3rd party bets it doesn't. Clearly, they are making money on this idea; lest they go bankrupt/stop offering extended warranty, so I would be hesitant regardless of price. A little homework in reviews, consumer reports, etc will probably give you good indication of long term performance of product.

$1.4 million IBM server falls off forklift, finger pointing ensues

Aug 29th 2007 8:49AM on Engadget

This is hilarious. I agree completely. I worked 3 years of high school summers running a forklift at a distribution warehouse, shipping to home depot, 84 lumber, busy beaver, lowe's, etc. In my experience there I found there are two "rules" that govern forklift operation: Rule 1, never let an idiot drive the forklift. Rule 2, anything marked "special" (items such as custom slate roof tile, form fit copper corners, stylized siding/gutters, $1.4M IBM servers), never let an idiot drive the forklift.

USB necktie with built-in fan keeps you cool, single

Aug 10th 2007 8:58AM on Engadget

How does this cool me and not the people in front of me? When someone makes a miniature USB powered a/c unit inserted in the back of the collar, blowing blistering cold air down my neck/back, I will then consider it worthy of suffering the consequences of being considered socially deficient. Until then I will continue to suffer other deficiencies.

Xbox 360 Premium confirmed shipping with HDMI

Aug 9th 2007 9:22AM on Engadget

what do you do with your life that lets you sit in front of the tv and run a 360 long enough to overheat to such an extent that you can see "fireworks shooting?" Have had atari/nintendo/sega/PS2/PS3/360/etc. moderate use (extended with good games) yields no problems.

Optimus Prime PC case mod stands nearly seven-feet tall

Already ordered 2. Modding one to "mac megatron" for final showdown.

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."
