Fusion Garage Joojoo tablet rises from the ashes of the CrunchPad

@werty1432k: yeah, but then again, many of us were shaking our heads about the "Wii" at one point... :)

Latest AT&T spot calls Verizon's 3G network a headless, sluggish wannabe

Dec 6th 2009 8:15PM on Engadget

I think this is a reasonable strategy. Unless you're a frequent traveler, who cares what carrier has the best 3G coverage? All I care about is that I get good 3G when I'm in my hometown, and I can make a call whenever I'm not.

Confused school district fires sysadmin for running SETI@home: 'As an educational institution we do not support the search for E.T.'

Dec 2nd 2009 3:39PM on Engadget

Where exactly does one acquire objective evidence that SETI@home is one of the most "well-respected" distributed computing projects? Yes, oldest I get. But well-respected? I don't remember seeing a poll. If they'd have asked me I would have said it's a waste of resources. I take Michael Chrichton's view of the whole thing (as per his talk, "Aliens Cause Global Warming").

Addonics Mini NAS: when RAID is too much to ask for

The Excito Bubba Two meets your criteria, and then some. Of course it's pretty expensive, too.

Logos brings free Bible study tools to the iPhone

OK, my attempt at a bit of snark has now spawned a thread that may very well take up the whole first page of comments. That's a shame, and I apologize, and have voted the posts here "negative"... maybe y'all should too...

@bo3of: granted.

Nice rant, JKT. However, if you read any of the other posts TJ has put up about Bible software, you would have to concede that his admonition's is entirely justified by experience. He wasn't working from some preconceived notion about non-believers, he was working from what has *actually happened* several times already.

Cue the anti-Christian snark in 4... 3... 2... 1 ...

Think those warranty parts are new? Think again

Nov 1st 2009 2:06PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

Meh. When my computer needs service, I want it returned to a reliably functioning state. If they can do that with remanufactured parts, so be it.

Asustek announces a 1.1 Teraflop, Tesla GPU powered supercomputer

Oct 28th 2009 1:44AM on Engadget

Hmm. 3-Tesla computers have been available for some time. I've got one sitting in my closet right now, and our research team just ordered two more. The newer ones have the latest processors, too. I'm not sure why this is news---except that this one's more expensive!

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
