Zune 30, older iPod classic getting new firmware fun {Engadget}
Sep 10th 2008 7:57PM For my 2nd gen iPod it got updates for about a two years. new codec support, new features and this stuff went back to 1st gen also. Got new features all through the 3 gen ipods. Once they started to go with the color screens is when I lost the newest features which was pictures and then videos.
Airun Plus shoes include speed and weight sensors for your mega-intense workouts, dude {Engadget}

They have weights in them so I don't think their going for light weight. The article says they are supposed to be used for shorter more intense (heavier) sessions than long light runs.

Just saying it sounds like a solution to a problem that doesnt really need to be fixed. Is it that hard to type on something because it doesnt depress and vibrate as you press it. More things to wear out on it.
The complaint people have with the iPhone was you have to look to type which slows you down. This doesnt solve that problem which virtual keyboards have. How does this help improve anything.
How does your comment help? I didnt insult you at all. I can spell see just fine. Unlike some commenters.
"Research In Motion's upcoming touchscreen phone -- the infamous Thunder -- will feature a virtual keyboard so realistic you'll swear you're sitting in front of 1986 IBM Model M. CrackBerry says "reliable sources" have told them that the device's screen will utilize a number of advanced technologies to create such an effect, including localized haptic feedback, which allows the screen to be literally pushed in while rewarding you with a vibration and click sound,"

Jul 13th 2008 6:04PM So all this does is make a mechanical click noise and vibrate? The problem people had with the iPhone keyboard was that you had to look at it to type because the buttons were all smooth. This is going to be the same thing. The screen is smooth and flat so youll still have to look at it. Only difference is it makes a mechanical click and depresses. what is wrong with a software clicking noise to confirm that the key has been accepted. This is people getting excited about something because it is said to compete with the iPhone. Everyone hates the iPhone now a days but this is not a fix to the problem that people were saying the iPhone had.
PSA: working atop cellphone towers is inherently dangerous {Engadget Mobile}
Jul 13th 2008 5:25PM From the article in the read link.
"It appears that all of the tower technicians that died had the appropriate personal protection equipment available to them. They just didn’t use it properly."
If they have the gear available but the people that fell are not using it why is this at all an issue? If you cannot anchor yourself to something to keep from falling your a lost cause and probably would have died some other stupid way anyways. At least this way they only kill themselves.

Jul 13th 2008 5:16PM This doesnt seem like a hard problem to fix. That cable running between the two rows of step pegs just hook a pully onto it that automatically brakes when downward (falling) pressure is applied to it. That way you can go up freely with a harness and if you fall it doesnt go the other way. then have a little lever that you pull down which releases the brake so you can go back down. make it spring loaded so if you fall on the way down you let go of the lever and it reapplies the brake. 5 lives saved over a 12 day period.
NEC's "Bubble Talk" delivers micro-voicemails {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 29th 2008 3:24PM I hate getting voice messages on xbox live. This sounds like that. whats wrong with calling the person and leaving a voicemail if they dont pickup or just sending them a text. If their not in a position to talk on the phone they probably arent in a position to listen to a voice message. Texting a message isn't that hard and can usually be done with a bit more discretion.
iPhone apps won't be bigger than 2GB or cost more than a grand {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 24th 2008 1:49AM I would think if you are running 2gb integrated data sets on your phone you need to rethink your app. Put some off that data on the network and access it with your 3g vpn as needed.
ZFS file system coming to Snow Leopard server edition {Engadget}
Jun 24th 2008 1:46AM I think what Zak is trying to say is that people are saying OS X Server is useless when compared to linux but they are not providing any reasons as to why. He isn't supporting OS X really he is just asking that people explain what they are saying with some reasons on why they came to their assumption instead of just insulting something they have no experience with. What makes Linux more capable than OS X. John is saying that linux is more cost effective which isn't related to what either poster posted. Juice Daddy said OS X Server is useless. What can Linux do that OS X Server cannot. It doesn't sound like any of you have much experience using the actual software that you are saying is inferior.
