I want to put this in my kitchen for recipes and kitchen automation!

Everex US is now closed

I'm glad they're dead. The laptop I bought from them in '06 did not last a year and had plenty of troubles during that time. Their support NEVER got back with me on any issue I had.

Stay dead, bitches. You are not wanted here.

SageTV has a Netflix plugin and it will work fine over the extenders. This box only works with SageTV.

WMC-TV brings local news to Memphis, Tennessee in HD

Jul 11th 2008 2:09AM on Engadget HD

Hello, I'm researching a problem with windows media center and tuning WMCtv and WPTY, Memphis and have found the answers for Windows Media Center (MCE) over at thegreenbutton.com. Check it out. I now have WHBQ and am able to view in MCE. The other channels, no go. Here's a link to the fix and an explaination.

Basically, the channel info for WHBQ in MCE is incorrect. The fix is in the link and you will be able to view that channel.

For WMC and WPTY, it is the TV station's fault! We cannot fix it and have to live without those channels in MCE. We will have to contact the channels and give them the link to that blog. Maybe, if they are not busy (or if we can even get ahold of the engineers), they will have time to troubleshoot with one of us to get this corrected.

As it stands, you can watch WHBQ in media center (I use MCE2005). But, we cannot watch WMC or WPTY. Please, let's make an effort to contact these guys.

NBC admits "inadvertent" broadcast flag use, still doesn't explain why it actually worked

This one is microsoft's, and was a couple years ago, fault. There is no need for them to add this to their software! They should've ditched it back with MCE2005. This is not the first time this has been an issue.

Nyko's Tele-shaped Frontman Wii Guitar Hero controller hits shelves

"Given how clumsy some of Nyko's other Wii accessories are..."

Wow, that sounds like a n00b comment. Nyko's Wii stuff is awesome. What is that guy referring to?

LED displays keep folks guessing at nightclub bathrooms

Sounds pretty boring over there in Europe.

How much would you pay to be the first Optimus Maximus owner?

Jan 29th 2008 8:51PM on Engadget

No, $200 more. I forgot to add the "more". The auction was at $1,300.

Sure.. yes

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
