For $170 you can get a 22" Acer LCD; I have trouble believing that the utility of the higher end Mimo is worth more than that.

Different purposes I guess, but sub $100 would make this worth while in my mind.

Prototype piezoelectric road could generate power by simply sitting there

Dec 15th 2008 4:48PM on Engadget

Robert Abramson:

You are entirely correct, essentially this road is absorbing energy from the vehicles that traverse it; in turn, the vehicles will need to generate more energy to travel the same distance.

The offshoot of this is twofold:
A) The energy is harnessed from gasoline and diesel powered vehicles, therefore there will be more emissions.
B) More fuel used means that the energy gathered in this manner comes at the expense of those traversing these roads.

This seems like a poor way to make money off of roads and a terribly inefficient way to generate power. At best this can be seen as an alternative to tolls.

The Cuffless Cufflink button hack

Snazzy looking, but will they work with real french cuffs?

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a wireless trackpad to use with my older (2.5 or so years old) C2D MacBook that's perpetually docked to my home theater. Something sleek, thin, not too small, made of high quality materials. Ideally, it would natively support all of (Snow) Leopard's multitouch inputs, and even more ideally, it would have a charging dock / base. The only problem is that I'm not sure that such a thing even exists. Think you can throw me a bone?"
