James Cameron thinks he can get viewers asking to wear 3D glasses

Nov 24th 2009 1:28PM on Engadget HD

@ack154 Higher resolution is at a point of diminishing returns. 4k on a 50" screen is a waste of resources, you have to be within a couple of feet to see the pixels on a 1080p image. Of course when we all have 100" screens in our living room it may make a difference :) For the industry as a whole 3D will generate a lot more excitement among the masses than increased resolution.

Oh, come on: columnist compares driving efficiency with teaching religion

For the young driver, the real answer is, driving efficiently leaves you more money for beer.

AirRay concept scoops the competition with four turbines, solar panels and V2G

>> Are these guys nuts? Or are they scam artists?

Yes :)

The only way I can see the wind generation being effective at all would be in regenerative braking. Using movable body panels like some Mercedes racing machines (50s?) and that Chapparel in the '60s. I doubt the benefit would outweigh the cost at the speeds we legally drive.

Ask Engadget HD: Is it (still) a good time to buy a TiVo?

Oct 29th 2009 3:21PM on Engadget HD

I've been with TiVo since 2001. That dvr is still running with a lifetime subscription at a friends ( 1 harddrive replacement). I now have 2 HD units. But, since I also have a windows machine next to the TV. If I was starting over it would be a tough call. Win7 media center is very nice. Only time will tell if the user installed cablecards will work as advertised.

As the proud owner of 2 HD-DVD players, I'm not investing in any 3-D technology until someone certifies some standards :)

>> Would one of them happen to include some sort of, say, tablet PC?

Shouldn't that be table Mac :)

"I'm a PC" :)

How would you change Microsoft's Zune HD?

Oct 10th 2009 11:27AM on Engadget

Better browser. Make Opera available in the app store :). Speaking of the browser, be able to syn favorites from your PC, Typing in urls is painful on the on-screen keyboard. As for making it a phone, I think we have to wait for Win7 Mobile, by then the software should be integrated.

WirelessHD second generation hardware promises "mass adoption" pricing

Oct 9th 2009 12:43PM on Engadget HD

Right now I have 1 HDMI cable connected to my tv, what I really need is wireless connectivity between my receiver and the 5 HDMI devices connected to it. That would eliminate cables :)

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
