My old rechargeable batteries for my Wii don't hold a charge anymore so this would be perfect.

OCZ's Colossus desktop SSD gets reviewed: oh yeah, it's fast

Oops, that's Indilinx.

Read the article, they dedicate a whole page to this. OCZ has its own "secret weapon" garbage collection setup which fixes the issues with that while the drive is idle. Yes, I agree that TRIM support in addition to this would be nice, but it seems this is a pretty good alternative.

Four Indilinux controllers (which support TRIM), behind a Silicon Image processor which doesn't support TRIM forwarding... but why read the article anyway? ;)

It seems to me that their garbage collection setup helps out quite a bit with this without using TRIM, so it's not quite as bad as it looks, but at the same time, yeah TRIM would be preferred.

Google Chrome OS available as free VMWare download (update: first impressions)

That is, thought I saw it in the demo video, and couldn't find it in actual use.

Tried it out in VirtualBox already, I could've sworn I saw an "Application Menu" of sorts that had links to Google Docs, Gmail, etc., but couldn't find it in this.

Anyway, it's about as limited as I expected.

Mac OS X 10.6.2 hacked to allow Atom support

Nov 19th 2009 9:29PM on Engadget

I've been on 10.6.2 on my Dell Mini 9 for around a week now.

The NetbookInstaller people patched it so that it reads as a Core Solo, and it's been working fine.

This is different in that it is a patched kernel, but honestly, it's the same final result.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
