Dean Kamen aims to clean water, generate electricity with Slingshot machine {Engadget}
Apr 23rd 2008 11:15PM I second this. The water purifier is called the Slingshot, while the other is the Stirling engine-based generator. The purifier seems to cost around $1500, while the generator is more like $3700 (as the redferret link jeffmefun pointed out so says). So it's not one machine that does two jobs, it's two machines, hence the two in the picture: the purifier is the one on the left. Chalk it up to the ages-old game of telephone played on the Internet.
Computer synthesiser enables Neanderthals to be heard {Engadget}
Apr 17th 2008 5:17AM No worries. My comment was supposed to be for mushrooshi above yours. Chalk it up to only one hierarchal level of comment replying. You got a + from me.
Computer synthesiser enables Neanderthals to be heard {Engadget}
Apr 17th 2008 1:09AM God, seriously!? Are you seriously bringing this ASCII crap here? It's might be cute on 2chan and other such sites, but it's almost insulting to see this here. C'mon...
Back on topic, I suppose the tools used may be worthy, but maybe we've lost the sarcasm of the post somewhere. I find it pretty funny that some guy thinks he knows how Neanderthals sounded. 10,000 years from now I want some guy to exhume my grave, approximate my vocal cavities, and recreate my voice. Maybe he'll think I couldn't pronounce an "E" like they would in their time either.
Scientists devise software that can interpret attractiveness {Engadget}
Apr 5th 2008 12:28AM Oooh... you've got a good point there. I'd better be on my guard. ;)
Scientists devise software that can interpret attractiveness {Engadget}
Apr 4th 2008 10:22PM I like that--they haven't yet devised a method of "defining" attractiveness in dudes. Maybe it's difficult because women say they like men that are "funny," or looking for "sensitive" guys. Perhaps computer programs are sophisticated enough to understand either of those yet. Then again, it is pretty hard to understand women at times.
Hmm... an afterthought: this only looks at faces...?
Virginia Tech students create "smart" brake lights for cars {Engadget}
Mar 26th 2008 11:33PM Wow... I thought about doing this as a DIY project on my car some years ago, but stopped short when I thought about all the D.O.T. rules I might brake. Guess it's not a problem.

Fisker Karma hybrid sports car to generate motor noise through external speakers {Engadget}
Mar 14th 2008 7:15AM I think I'd rather just have a real V8 under the hood instead of a V8 sound effect. Somehow, that just screams "weak." I'd probably just turn it off and not tell anyone about it. The car cool enough without it, imo.
