Shelby sets out to build Ultimate Aero EV, the world's fastest electric car {Engadget}
Jul 18th 2008 7:54PM Ummm.... not really. The torque is constant (or quite near it) up to a certain RPM; above that, the power is nearly constant.
Looking at a theoretical diagram, it's perfectly flat, and saying it peaks at zero is as valid as any other point in the flat range, but it's no peak. In practice, difficulties controlling about zero RPM gives most motors a very broad, rounded low-speed torque peak between zero and rated speed, and then falls off into the constant-power region.

Jul 18th 2008 7:50PM @BigD: Can I low rank you?
Well, honestly, it doesn't; there have been sleek cars available comparatively affordably. But sleekness can also be one more tool in your price-discrimination scheme. After all, since even rich folk mostly don't drive at 150mph, looks are really a lot of what they gain from there mega-spendy car. As an automaker, you'd hate it if someone who could afford a racecar bought a runaround because it looks just as nice, and he's got fuzz-fear.
XIM2 brings your keyboard and mouse to the Xbox 360. But you still suck at Halo. {Engadget}
Jul 18th 2008 7:19PM 6DOF (Spaceball) + mouse FTW, actually.
Chinavasion's HD camcorder is just as lame as you think {Engadget}
Jul 18th 2008 7:08PM Well, then. YOU HAVE BEEN _VERY_ WARNED. TEH CHINEE ARE TAKING OVER TEH WLORDZ0R, NOT JUST YOUR CAMCORDZ0R!
Nokia's N810 stoops to a mouthwatering $299 {Engadget}
Jul 18th 2008 3:18PM Yep, see them; TWICE!

The problem is not a weak CPU; it's not having code to access the IVA, which would let us offload video codecs like almost every other device on the market does. So playing high-bitrate video is a problem. As long as you don't do that, the CPU isn't an issue; it's just fine as a general-purpose computer.
So it has trouble in this one area (which may be very important to you), and you claim that it has an underpowered CPU, rather than that it's not the best device for your particular needs. And then, of course, you're wrong rather than right.

Jul 18th 2008 3:08PM RIMs doing one haptics project, and Nokia's doing another. Apple might be, but naturally isn't leaking anything but strategic falsifications, so nobody knows...
Windows 3.1 gets installed on Nokia's N810, looks badly out of place {Engadget}
Jul 18th 2008 3:03PM We got chip's challenge ported a long time ago, so we run that native...
Still, great old game!

Jul 18th 2008 3:02PM You seem to be confusing Windows 3.1 with NT 3.5?

Jul 18th 2008 2:59PM No; but if I had an iPhone, I would. Because then I wouldn't be able to cut-and-paste my criticism, to wit:
Did they add cut and paste yet?
(BTW, this N800 does have it. :P to his Jobsness...)
