Large Hadron Collider grinds to a halt... again

Dec 2nd 2009 2:17PM on Engadget

The end of the world will happen when the LHC decides to break again in the middle of a critical experiment...
you spend 20 years building it and forget to upgrade the power lines feeding this thing.

PlayStation 2 finally launches in Brazil for the bargain price of around US $462

Nov 21st 2009 3:28AM on Engadget

In Brazil there is a 50% import tax for electronic goods.
That is why the price is ridiculously high!
The amount of tax they levy on stuff there is crazy.
the PS3 will cost $3k or more when it launches there (if this ever happens)...

U.S. Army and EnerDel team up for electric-hybrid Humvee

Just hit a landmine for instant mushroom cloud!

Telus kicks off HSPA+ network with iPhone November 5th, HTC Hero, LG New Chocolate and more to follow

A 3-year contract! Whatever happened to the old 12-month or 18-month ones.
I hate these ridiculously long contracts.
That's why I stick to SIM only contracts that all you have to do is give a month's notice that you want to cancel the contract. And I get the phone second hand or on ebay (works out cheaper in the long run).

Virgin Galactic's WhiteKnightTwo caught mid-flight on video

Where's my credit card!
For Two hours at 70,000 ft and 6 minutes of Zero Gravity is worth staying in debt for eternity...

LG's GC900 Viewty II gets Smart, gets official

Apr 15th 2009 1:26PM on Engadget

LG is capable of producing some really nice looking phones with loads of cool features...ON PAPER ONLY!
When you get the real deal the OS is slow, buggy and crashes all the time, the touchscreen is not that responsive, the pictures taken on 8MP look worse than the ones I used to take on my 2MP camera and the battery life is weak.

And I'm saying that because I OWN an LG Viewty and a Renoir!

Offloading them as soon as my contract upgrade is available.

Is this the Zune HD?

Apr 11th 2009 2:31AM on Engadget

Will this be available in europe without having to import from the US?

Verizon rebranding: an April Fools' prank that should be real

Apr 2nd 2009 4:16PM on Engadget

Shouldn't they just rename it VODAFONE?
after all, Vodafone is a major shareholder of Verizon and a much stronger brand name and it is the world's largest cell phone carrier.

Apple launches iTunes 8, NBC comes back, TV shows at $1.99, Genius in the house

Sep 9th 2008 1:42PM on Engadget

I'm sticking with iTunes 7.7 for a while.
Have you forgotten all the problems that happened to iTunes when version 7.0 was released??
I don't need a "genius" to patronise what i listen to!
New Nano looks ok though.

Nintendo hints at end of Game Boy name, possible WiiWare in 2007

Jul 17th 2007 6:46PM on Engadget

I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo comes up with an updated version of the DS (DS2?)with built-in storage and a GB and GBC games download service similar to the Wii's Virtual Console service charging a dollar for each game.....

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
