See USB flash drives manufactured in this shocking behind-the-scenes video {Engadget}
Aug 25th 2009 4:33AM Ahhh, you get to see the final step where the USB stick is delicately placed inside the special finger-lacerating-razor-sharp-plastic packaging!
Fujifilm Finepix Real 3D W1 slammed in early review, company responds point-by-point {Engadget}
Aug 24th 2009 12:56AM The camera may be naff, but the review itself was pathetic.
Laptops can be confiscated and searched at US border without cause says report {Engadget}
Aug 2nd 2008 1:58AM This isn't about security or counter-terrorism as any fool knows, because as a security measure it is so easy to circumvent.
1. Take your secret plans for wold domination and stick them in a TrueCrypt file.
2. Use the 'plausible deniability' option of hiding one TrueCrypt file inside another.
3. Rename your file as Engadget Xmas Shopping List.txt or something.
4. Install DropBox, FolderShare, Mesh or whatever and copy the file up to the cloud.
5. Travel into the US with/without some harmless laptop.
6. Go to your favorite internet cafe/wifi point and download said file.
7. Marvel at the stupidity of US border controls.

Ask Engadget: Which are the best full-size headphones? {Engadget}
May 2nd 2008 3:10AM Grado - without a doubt. I use a pair of SR60's and they are one item where the word 'awesome' isn't an overstatement.
As one review says...
"They have a remarkably airy, open sound that dissects music in a way you may not have experienced before".
Scottish firm sued for blaring radios, infringing copyright {Engadget}
Oct 14th 2007 7:16AM FFS, why don't they gather up all these thought-police idiots, stick them on the next shuttle and fire them off into space on a one-way ticket!
Panasonic goes Ikea with concept furniture for flat panels {Engadget}
Oct 5th 2007 5:26AM One can only hope that the quality of the Panasonic 'furniture' is better than IKEA's.
(Ok, two cardboard boxes stuck together with spit would be better than a lot of IKEA's furniture).
EU rules on Microsoft antitrust appeal: Bad news for Microsoft {Engadget}
Sep 17th 2007 4:27PM Hmmm, so one 'less than wholesome' organization pursuing another 'less than wholesome' organization isn't a case of "the pot calling the kettle black" because you want to split the differences between the dictionary definitions of corruption and anti-trust.
Now who's trying to look clever?
Perhaps you should read and try to understand the comment. It is the European Commission who are prosecuting Microsoft. The European Audit Committee is a separate and independant body who are prosecuting European Commission officials, so remind me again - who are the ones in this equation who are without guilt? The irony of an organization prosecuting another when they themselves are (repeatedly and successfully) being prosecuted is obviously lost on you.
EU rules on Microsoft antitrust appeal: Bad news for Microsoft {Engadget}
Sep 17th 2007 4:36AM Ha ha, this is the pot calling the kettle black!
European Commission & corruption go hand in hand. No less than seven high ranking individuals being 'dismissed' in the last 12 months after investigation by the Audit Committee, and that was just the ones dumb enough to get caught!
Sure, Microsoft isn't whiter than white by any stretch of the imagination, but one thing is for sure - if Microsoft do have to pay up then you can guarantee that $690 million will NOT be going to the needy in Europe!
NEC's new AccuSync LCDs do HDMI {Engadget}
Sep 11th 2007 3:19PM That's unless you live in the UK where instead of selling it at the equivalent price of £275 ($2=£1), they'll be seeling it nearer £500!
Logitech's new AudioHub Notebook Speaker System {Engadget}
Sep 11th 2007 12:05PM Logitech have never heard of the expression 'travelling light' (and I'm not talking about a laptop illumination device either). Soon you'll need a friendly caddy to carry around all your extras... like this and the obligatory USB humping dog!
