Video: USB powered chainsaw makes short work of a fake plastic tree {Engadget}
Jul 9th 2009 1:53AM 3: Because the tree-cutting was filmed using a prototype from the lab which uses Wireless USB, which (pending testing and certification) will make it into the i.Saw 2.G.
Palm Pre official on O2 and Movistar in Europe, launch "in time for holidays" {Engadget}
Jul 7th 2009 6:16AM Holiday season means November or early December.
As to why, think about the end of their 6-month deal with Sprint; I'd guess the T-mobile USA and AT&T versions are the same hardware as the European GSM models (quad-band!), so they've timed production around that.
Sony announces VAIO W... netbook! {Engadget}
Jul 7th 2009 2:49AM One of the HPs had 1366x768, right? Thought it looked pretty nice, if I'd been in the netbook market at the time.

I remember that, too. It was, oh, let me think... about 2000? You could still get a perambulate-hominid from Walmart at least that late, with the world's cheapest earphones and FF, play, but no rewind. But the great thing (i.e. the only reason anyone ever bought one) was it only cost $5; I ran through a couple of those instead of splurging on the usual CD player, because I was saving up for an MP3 player (an IJ-100; they were really pretty awesome back then, first MP3 player to have an FM tuner).

Waterproof lithium metal-air batteries could revolutionize portable power {Engadget}
Jun 28th 2009 8:12PM Better yet, they should have gone with metallic Li batteries, since they have better energy density. Then they could even try using air as a cathode, for a further improvement. But then they'd need to find a way to protect it from water, because the moisture in normal air reacts with the Li metal and kills the battery; some kind of waterproof barrier that oxygen can penetrate would be in order.
Oh wait... they did. That's why this is news, and NiZn aren't any more.
iPhone 3GS takes plunge in pool while shooting video... and lives to tell the tale {Engadget}

Silent Mouse EX reduces mouse-related noise pollution by 22.5db, no one cares {Engadget}
Jun 26th 2009 11:40PM You'd notice it a lot more if your mouse clicked at times you weren't thinking/doing "click". Or if it wasn't your mouse; if someone else at a desk altogether too close to yours clicked incessantly in weird rhythms when you are trying to think.
I'm thinking I should buy one of these as a gift, and put glue on the plug, so even if he decides he doesn't like it, he has to use it. >:-)
