Is Dell buying Alienware?

Mar 14th 2006 1:18PM on Engadget

#5, honda didn't buy ferrari.

Fiat did.

French law could break iTunes, Microsoft DRM

Mar 13th 2006 5:09PM on Engadget

Could someone explain to me the attraction of buying music from these DRM merchants (much less renting it) when one could simply buy the CD and rip it? To a far higher bitrate, to lossless codecs, burn copies as much as you want and so on and so on. Plus, you actually get something physical and lasting for your money...

Getting started with Quicksilver: understanding the basics

Mar 12th 2006 5:31PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

Butler all the way!

full itunes control via hotkeys, menubar item
launch applications (like quicksilver, but better style imo)
browse computer from the menubar (almost a windows start menu, but customisable)
access to all browser bookmarks from menubar
multiple pasteboards
8 hot corners, completely configurable
spotlight enhancements
internet search via hotkeys

All out of the box, all 100% customisable, and free to boot. I used quicksilver for a good while, then tried Butler and haven't looked back since.

Dual goes cursor in the DCT-DPM1

Mar 7th 2006 11:40AM on Engadget

I think it lets you have two cursors, so if you are doing formatting tasks (for example) you can leave one at the controls and use the other for selection etc. then switch between them when needed. This could be very useful if one were using multiple screens to save time moving the cursor over large screen estate

Microsoft Fingerprint Reader gives up your prints

Someone with the right tools eh...

MIcrosoft has the right tools

They pretty much went out of their way to unsecure this device - they turned off the encryption that comes with the device...

Remember, its not paranoia if they ARE out to get you

The Cormorant -- just another robotic swimming spy drone for the Navy

I for one think that DARPA isn't going far enough.

If they were to build, say a walking nuclear equipped battle vehicle, perhaps codenamed Metal Gear, they could launch these things from its nuclear missile launchers. How badass would that be?

Sony's PlayStation brand strongest in the industry

Feb 24th 2006 9:56PM on Joystiq

Here's why i think its skewed with GBE and so on.

The survey was of people 'on the street' right? Now most people have at least heard of sony, nintendo, playstation, game boy. They don't hear game boy evolution, or don't care. It's a game boy, or a playstation, like their kid has.

Hell, i know people who call the psp a 'game boy' and the xbox A 'playstation', emphasis on 'a' in both cases.

Still can't figure out the phantom numbers though...

Yet Another Pointless Worm(tm): Inqtana.A

Feb 18th 2006 4:14PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

So this thing uses security problems in 10.4.1 right? So it took these 1337 hackers the best part of a year to crack a minor exploitable hole?

You know, this actually makes me feel pretty good about the general level of security in OS X - Apple patches a problem, and 8 months later, someone writes a 'worm' to take advantage...which still requires rather a lot of user interaction.

AACS finalized, Blu-ray and HD DVD: game on!

Feb 17th 2006 1:25PM on Engadget

umm mcepat, would you be so kind as to explain how my dvd player with a RED laser will play larger capacity disks that need a BLUE laser to work?

Google Earth in the works for Mac OS X?

Here's another link from HappyPig, on digg http://s38.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=01H260IZ43WTZ3OTEBSWPXG48L Its a much smaller download ~ 12 megs no keychain problem- just unzip and go

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
