LG Display develops small elliptical and circular-shaped LCDs {Engadget}
May 15th 2008 12:03AM I'd love to have a watch-sized PDA (or at least a meeting reminder plus some other do-dads) that will look like a classically-styled watch and not some borg-ish monstrosity.

May 4th 2008 10:29PM I noticed it's about 10 fps and only in black and white. I think I'll just stick with putting my face two feet from my TV. Still, kudos on being energy efficient. And FREE TIBET of course.

Libelula rocket-powered helicopter backpack redefines danger {Engadget}
May 2nd 2008 1:06PM Exactly. Plus the first guy to fly that thing will likely end up with as many artificial parts as Inspector Gadget.

May 2nd 2008 9:14AM I'm sorry Mr. Smith, you have cancer. Oh wait, sorry, that's just glare on my cell phone screen. Congratulations, you're in perfect health...I think.
Researchers show off laser-guided wheelchair that docks with vehicles {Engadget}
Apr 30th 2008 10:16PM I'd prefer to see improvements to the wheelchair itself. They are ludicrously over-priced for the materials and technologies involved. My sister's wheelchair, while fast, has an awful control system. I'd like to see better control systems (it's all fly-by-wire, so why not a software intermediary that adapts to the user and provides better motor control at slow speeds), charge plates (like those being proposed for electric cars, and currently in use for cell phones and PDA's), and a better range of designs (all-wheel drive, better access to storage, lighter frames, easier to fold/smaller, etc). All of these things exist, but haven't made into wheelchair design generally. There have been some developments - the Segway wheelchair for one - but it'd great to see more, provided the price doesn't go up.
Psystar Open Computer notes, benchmarks and video {Engadget}
Apr 30th 2008 8:04PM Agreed. I had a hackintosh running on my custom-built computer for a while and it worked fine - posted a lot faster than the Psystar. The only hitch was that I couldn't get the full power of my Quadro display card (GeForce seems the way the go). All to say, if you do a bit of research you do much better than the Psystar.
Next-gen Toyota Prius: bigger, stronger, more Prius-like than ever before {Engadget}
Apr 29th 2008 4:21PM Good lord, no wonder everyone thinks Americans are so backwards these days. The 'normal' car in the USA *IS* ugly. They're YEARS out of date, with little change since the 80's. The nicest designs from 'the big 3' are all retro-car remakes. How sad. It's like they've given up and just want to live in the past.
The rest of us want to move into the future. All the real innovation is coming from Europe and Asia these days. The concept car in the picture is excellent - I wish they'd gone with it for the 2009, and Toyota's have the added attraction of being efficient and reliable.
TG Sambo rolls out web-browsing, T-DMB-packing PMP for Korea {Engadget}

AMD says post-Phenom CPUs will be "completely different," 100 laptops to launch with Puma {Engadget}
Apr 29th 2008 3:43PM Yeah, they've all been acting cocky since the Sarah Conner serial murders a while back, when they found that new chip. BTW, hows the Skynet defence project coming along?
