Sony's VAIO Bluetooth Laser Mouse pictured in the wild, almost as ugly as last week's OpenOfficeMouse {Engadget}
Nov 13th 2009 9:28AM Nice job on picking the worst picture of the lot to showcase, Engadget. The rest of the pictures in the link are much easier on the eyes. But judging by those other images, the mouse doesn't seem much more ergonomic.
At least it's got more than 1 button...
YouTube begins streaming 1080p insecurities next week (update: 1080p video!) {Engadget}
Nov 13th 2009 5:49AM Too bad that the low bitrate signal will probably minimize any gains you may get from the bump to 1080p.
1080p doesn't automatically make crappy video better. It's usually just bigger.
Sony's 2010/2011 OLED and flagship XBR series LCD roadmap leaked? {Engadget}
Nov 13th 2009 4:37AM Looks like these are the first sets to use the new panels from the joint venture between Sharp and Sony.
The best news is that there's a new RGB LED backlit model in the pipe. OLED TV is still a few years away before it becomes cheap enough or large enough to make most people consider buying one.
I wonder if the blacked out sections are about 3D technology or wireless HD (like the XBR10 has)?
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1 scores mixed reception {Engadget}
Nov 3rd 2009 6:10PM Photography Blog review: 4 stars Recommended
Wired review: 8 out of 10
Imaging Resource review: Dave's Pick
Electric Pig review: 5 stars
To me at least, it seems the reception has been positive. I know there are issues with the camera, but the headline makes it seem that there was at least one bad review out there.
Personally, these reviews have made me think twice about buying a DSC-WX1 and getting this instead. I prefer the more traditional style of the W series cameras, but having used them both briefly recently, I've started leaning to the TX1.

Oct 28th 2009 8:33AM $25 for a piece of wood painted like a MacOS window and a pane of glass?
This picture frame is a little too Apple-like for my taste. And I'm not talking about the design.

Toshiba launches 14.6 megapixel CMOS sensor with backside illumination for cellphones {Engadget}
Oct 28th 2009 4:08AM scape, what rock have you been living under for the last 10 months? Sony released products with their Exmor-R back-illuminated CMOS sensor technology back in January 2009. Go Google HDR-XR500V or HDR-XR520V. Joining those Handycam camcorders earlier this month were two Cyber-shot cameras, the DSC-TX1 and DSC-WX1.

Thicker, LED rear backlit LCD TVs can offer a local dimming feature that improves contrast by improving black levels in dark segments of a scene without unduly affecting the appearance of bright objects. Thin, LED edge backlit LCD TVs cannot offer local dimming.
