Army seeking psychologically inspired object recognition system {Engadget}
Jul 19th 2008 12:29PM It allows the robot to rotate any form it sees in 3-d dimensions to see if the object is in fact a human. Right now if you contorted into a funny shape they might not see you, but with this advanced programming? You’re good as gone even if you do dislocate all your joints to bend them all in the wrong direction!
OCZ reveals Core Series SATA II 2.5 SSDs: 128GB for $479 {Engadget}
Jul 1st 2008 9:31AM Hmmm. Not bad. A 64GB harddrive would be more then enough for me. At $259 its still a bit expensive, but I guess in a year or two when they are half the current price I will have to buy myself a present.

Jun 27th 2008 6:19PM As already mentioned, my favorite microsoft product so far is Office 2007, never had a chance to use a Zune 2 though, only the first one.

The Bill Day giveaway (part 2) - Office Ultimate 2007 {Engadget}
Jun 27th 2008 5:47PM I'm personally a bit fan of Office 2007 itself. The ribbon is nice and its very fast no matter what size files I end up creating.
This would make a nice upgrade form the current Home and Student I have.

That 1.65 million dollar price is probably included the engineering cost to have it designed as well as the one-off machining costs, both of which are very expensive compared to a mass produced product. You would never want to build 100 of them because that would create too much supply and force you to lower price losing profit, also since the panels are becoming cheaper so quickly, to have 100 printers means that you would be unable to compete in 6 months, that’s why everyone builds just one plant every few years, so that they are always able to compete.
Despite rumors, next Acura NSX won't be priced around $200k {Autoblog}
May 1st 2008 2:41PM To say that, you never drove the first one.
The only thing it did wrong was burn tires every 5,000 miles, which hurts the pocketbook when they cost $500 each to begin with.
AT&T upgrading network, spreading U-verse in Illinois {Engadget HD}
Apr 26th 2008 4:23PM I'm in the northern suburbs of Chicago where they are currently installing new boxes, the whole process is terrible. They add several new fiber boxes near all the telo boxes, they block the roads for days-weeks while they add the boxes and even when the system works, who would want it? Comcast is bad but after having ATT wireless for the last few years, they are the last group I want to switch to. Where is Verizon's service?

IIHS studies effectiveness of roof strength: Surprise! It matters {Autoblog}
Mar 12th 2008 5:30PM There shouldn't really be a question as to whether stronger vehicles are safter; the question is if we need to do anything about it. Sure making a roof twice as strong will help prevent it from caving in, but it will also add weight, which removes performance requiring upgrades everywhere in a car to regain its former agility and handling, and all of that weight means you need a stronger roof again. In this article they are implying that we have to make cars safer.
Cars already weight 4,000+ pounds; let’s not keep up this bad design. Light cars use less fuel to do the same thing and are easier on the roads. Are 10, 100, 1000 people a year worth a penalty on everyone else?
