GETAC B300 rugged laptop with LED backlight, "Night Vision" {Engadget}
Jan 22nd 2008 1:50PM Get off you immanence high,dude. There are plenty of non-mil/gov't industries ready and waiting for super durable high speed machines they can toss in the trunk/boot of the car. When folks like you use words like 'never' little lights on our indicator screen light up, dig? You don't want to do that.
Navigon's 8110 PND coming in March? {Engadget}
Jan 22nd 2008 12:53PM PND stands for 'Personal Navigation Device'. Thanks Engadget.

Jan 21st 2008 10:24AM Let's set up a new rule:
If the reporter posts a 'report' it must have at least one pertinent photo, or the reporter must, in the 'report', apologize and explain why he/she couldn't complete the job. Engadget is encouraging lousy journalism behavior. Stop it. If nothing else, give us links to photos that pertain to the 'report'. Stop giving journalism work to gadget freaks who can barely write. Use real journalists, like big professional companies do.
Intelligent dashboard could shut off distractions to improve reaction times {Engadget}
Jan 21st 2008 9:36AM Evidently everybody posting to this knows exactly what a 'whip' is. Why don't you go ahead and be a real journalist and tell the rest of us what the beep a 'whip' is? I know, that would be like, professional and all. Take the medicine with the message. No more incompetent writers, please!
Air Force developing UAVs that can recharge on power lines {Engadget}
Jan 20th 2008 1:04PM People with brains often use systems that work, and modify them to work again for the chosen purpose. Ever seen a jet land on an aircraft carrier? It uses a hook. Maybe a one-time use spy plane would have some kind of plastic-metal inductance net it would cast and possibly hang from power lines by; would cut away from the net to finish the tasks. Certainly, the US military/FBI/CIA/ETC would never use it on citizens of the US. ;)
Air Force developing UAVs that can recharge on power lines {Engadget}
Jan 20th 2008 12:46PM We're looking at smart power leeches in their infancy. In time they'll have no trouble getting power from almost anything with power: street lights, heat sources, coin operated devices, etc. We may also see a responding rise in shotgun sales.
OSU and DARPA building UAV nano planes that can fit in a pocket {Engadget}
Jan 20th 2008 11:56AM I'm agreeing that the weight of the parts is going to be tough on such a thrust system. You might want/need to drop 'em from high above. If they're manageable indoor then they don't go very fast. If they don't go very fast they need larger wingspan, etc. Maybe they attach to small helium balloon buoyed cargo. Hope to hear more about this development.
HD DVD booklet from CES explodes with irony {Engadget}
Jan 20th 2008 9:55AM That's it?? No actual copy on the matter?? Beep.
Myvu's newest eyewear: the Shades and Crystal {Engadget}
Jan 18th 2008 10:58PM Talk to us, MyVu. Tell us when we can expect HD specs from you. Glad you're tuned into the concept of situational awareness. I find I do want to look at other things even mid movie. No more VGA! Get to work!
Texas Instruments shows off DLP DualView technology {Engadget}
Jan 14th 2008 7:02PM I think this is a dead end path.
I'm very doubtful that two full quality images can be displayed separately on one screen viewed by two different personal video device wearers. I hope to be proved wrong. Lower quality images would still be of use in international and other settings.
