Remote Pet Feeder feeds your pet, encourages your animal voyeurism habit {Engadget}
Jun 9th 2009 1:07PM COMPLETELY not worth it. It's basically just an automatic pet feeder which has already been on the market for years, and attaching extras to it.

The problem isn't the extras, it's the pet feeder itself. I owned one of those for ~3-4 months before I had to literally throw it away because the food-moving design is inherently defective. It relies on a sort of corkscrew system to funnel pet food through a chute into the bowl, and there's an agitator inside the storage container which eventually breaks under the stress of a full container. The feeder would sometimes not dispense food, sometimes dispense too much, and oftentimes the food would get stuck in the dispenser rendering it useless. Not to mention the silly plastic guard on the front of the chute will be INVARIABLY chewed off by your hungry dog seeking to get into the food chute that doesn't work.
I informed the manufacturer and they basically told me to fuck off. DO NOT BUY.
Apple rejects Bittorrent control app from App Store because it might be used to infringe copyrights {Engadget}
May 11th 2009 12:55PM Yeah, it's called ConnectBot. You can easily use it to SSH to your home machine and view/control your rtorrent downloads. I'd imagine if there's an SSH client for the iPhone you can do the exact same thing. You don't need Transmission at all do accomplish this, just Bash, rTorrent, and SSH.
Take THAT Apple.

May 4th 2009 1:24PM N95 runs an older version of S60. The N97 is using a MUCH updated version. Should be somewhat nicer. But I know what you mean about the N95

Google's Data Center secrets revealed! {Engadget}
Apr 2nd 2009 4:10PM Huh? Package it up and sell it? Why? You can already put these things together yourselves. These parts have been available on the markets for years. It's mostly junk too, commodity parts. Gigabyte motherboards, Hitachi "Death Star" hard drives, crummy RAM, etc... So unless you have an extremely fault-tolerate distributed software system like what Google uses in the event of single server failure, it won't do you much good.
