Nintendo announces the Wii MotionPlus at E3 {Engadget}
Jul 15th 2008 12:54PM I would hope that they will come out with an upgraded Wiimote with this tech built in, rather than requiring a box plugged in on the end.
Also, will these new games support the old tech with less accuracy? I would hate to see a segregation of the market into those who have MotionPlus and those who don't.
Hey Ninty how about a free upgrade for all the old controllers!!!

US to shoot down failed satellite at 10:30pm ET tonight {Engadget}
Feb 20th 2008 12:22PM
The main issue with this satellite which is different than most others is this one failed right after launch, and thus has a full load of fuel.
The computer locked up or some similar problem and no one has gone up to press CTRL-ALT-DELETE.
There is 1 ton of hydrazine frozen solid in a titanium tank.
Titanium tanks make it back whole all the time.

But this one also has 1 ton of cold stuff in it to help cool it during reentry. This tank is located at the center of the satellite, so it is relatively well protected. When it does hit the ground, its gonna crack open and stink up the place.
So it is probably a good idea to blow it away. Add to this the super secret stuff thats on there, you can understand why they want to break it up. They don't need or want an explosion, they just want to disrupt the tank/satellite to make it burn up during reentry rather than come down whole.

Dear Palm: It's time for an intervention {Engadget}
Aug 21st 2007 3:30PM Palm is reminding me more and more of the last days of Commodore, where they had a technical marvel (the Amiga) and the management destroyed it by killing their R&D, and ultimately the company out of greed and a lack of understanding of technology.
