Toshiba's DMFC "internet viewer" prototypes are truly next-gen {Engadget}
Jan 12th 2009 12:48PM But would the TSA allow it? They don't allow *fluids* in containers more than 3 oz, and 250ml is over 8 oz. And it's, you know, an explosive...

Inside an Xbox 360 Jasper: Ben Heck dissects the mythical console, then tells you how to find one {Engadget}
Dec 10th 2008 6:20PM Turns out I got a Jasper Arcade box right after they lowered the price to $199 two months ago.
Another possible way to tell the difference is the DVD-tray. On my older 360 it's chrome, and on the new one it's the same white plastic finish as the rest of the body.
Palm's New-ness, coming to CES {Engadget}
Dec 10th 2008 5:34PM The device better be called the Palm New, because otherwise the copywriter should be shot.

Nov 12th 2008 3:41PM Unless 'Dodge ball' refers to something other than the location-based social network 'dodgeball' then this is pretty certainly fake. Dodgeball is owned by Google, and isn't anywhere near popular enough for MS to include it in their offering considering it belongs to the competition.
An Open Letter to Gmail: Happy Halloween! We love your costume! {AOL Mail Blog}
Nov 3rd 2008 3:31PM I don't use AOL mail but I decided to check it out and see how many of Gmail's recent advancements ( http://mail.google.com/mail/help/about_whatsnew.html ) were old hat to AOL mail.
I went to AOL Mail's signup page, clicked 'learn more' and made it to this page: http://free.aol.com/discover/memed/webmail/ which, aside from not being updated since 2007, has a nice pretty link to 'take the tour'. So click on the link. Try it and tell me what you think.
Casio EX-FH20 hands-on -- in super slow-mo! {Engadget}
Oct 21st 2008 5:31PM SLRs don't have to have detachable enses to be SLRs. It means 'Single-Lens Reflex' and at its simplest means that the viewfinder is through the lens (TTL) so you're composing the same shot you're taking. Don't believe me? Ask the wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-lens_reflex_camera
How would you change Nikon's D700? {Engadget}
Aug 29th 2008 6:55PM Give it the D90's D-movie capability and replace the built-in flash with an internal directional GPS and we're good.
Pie in the sky I'd like to change focus mode to a software switch, and assign the two customizable buttons to different profile settings, one for me and one for my fiancée. She's manual focus, shutter priority all the time and I'm AF aperture. It makes sharing our D700 and D200 a chore. Bonus points if the 'current shooter' data was another field added to the EXIF.
Microsoft enlists Seinfeld, Gates to battle "Get a Mac" ads {Engadget}
Aug 21st 2008 2:38AM $300 million isn't at all unusual for Microsoft. They regularly spend 100, 200, or 300 million on ad campaigns (and are very vocal about how much they're spending, as if it's a badge of honor).
What surprises me more is that Jerry's taking their money. He's been an ardent Mac fan, and his apartment on Seinfeld has always had a mac, whether it was a Classic, an iMac, or a 20th Anniversary edition. I'd think he'd be above shilling against his beliefs.
