Movie Gadget Friday: Brazil

Feb 21st 2009 4:43AM on Engadget

Best dystopian comedy ever, and probably Gilliam's best film.

VIC Ltd rolls out NaviSurfer II in-car PC

Feb 6th 2008 3:13PM on Engadget

Finally I'll be able to do some Photoshopping while I'm on the freeway!

Cambridge SoundWorks intros i765 radio / iPod dock

Nov 14th 2007 6:33PM on Engadget

I've got an earlier version of this unit with a CD drive, and the sound quality is quite good. Not only will it play MP3s burned to CD, there is also a front side auxiliary input so I can plug in any portable media player. It's one of my favorite gadgets. Still, I think the added DVD drive is kind of superfluous.

DVD-sniffing dogs awarded medals, returning to NYC

No real surprise that "there will be no ticker tape parade for the courageous canines." When was the last time that anyone received an authentic ticker tape parade? When did stock tickers cease being a common method of relaying information about the stock market?

Tesla announces its first dealership; no, you still can't have one.

I'm having a hard time deciding whether this is some kind of small nod to Edison, or a small Bronx cheer (since Mr. Tesla was a former Edison employee and later a competitor).

Darth Vader children's laptop for your little Sith Lord

CE-Oh no he didn't, part XXXVII: Sony's Reeves says PS3 will be "the winner" by March 08

I must be getting old. I remember when Sony made money largely on their reputation for solidly performing products at easily affordable prices. Now it seems their number one product is hubris.

Corian Z. Island: taking kitchens to the year 3000

Jun 26th 2007 3:44AM on Engadget

Aroma devices? How perfect, as we all know that fully working, functional kitchens never produces aromas of their own.

Sanrio offers up Hello Kitty body fat meter

Jun 2nd 2007 5:21AM on Engadget

"...who wouldn't be motivated to shed a few pounds and have Hello Kitty smile back at you in celebration?"

Has it escaped your attention that Hello Kitty has no mouth?

Apple and Apple bury the hatchet, planning iTunes push?

Nov 27th 2006 11:45AM on Engadget

The entire Beatles catalog is still widely available on CD. Ripping and encoding tracks yourself is a lot of trouble to go through, I know, but it works and you can encode at MUCH higher bitrates than what you'd get through iTunes.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I am trying to configure out a really dumbed down and intuitive PC for my grandmother. She recently had a stroke and while she is under my care I would like to repurpose a laptop for her to surf and email her children. Anyone have any experience with what input devices and UI's are really understandable for the over 80 crowd?"
