Nintendo bringing pink and blue Wiimotes to America on Valentine's Day

Dec 14th 2009 11:41AM on Engadget

Ninty needs to start building the MotionPlus into the newer Wiimotes, rather than sticking a dongle on the bottom of them all.

iPhone 3GS emulates N64, blows minds in the process (Update: is it a fake?)

I doubt that application will ever make it into the store, unless it is locked into a couple included games. But then how can he include copyrighted ROMS?

Fugly, and no ATSC tuner = Should have sold it in the 80's

CRTC sets net neutrality rules for Canada, allows throttling as 'last resort'

Oct 21st 2009 2:50PM on Engadget

Bell just wants to turn off throttling in time for UBB to come into effect. Then Bell can charge the independent ISP's for the extra bandwidth (for those on real unlimited plans with them). With throttling its harder to go over those caps.

Caption contest: it's deadbeat-tastic!

The best way to keep Comcast on site until the problem is fixed.

May be more legal than this:

Trojan PS2 made of wood earns store credit for craftsman, shame for retailer

Feb 6th 2009 11:02AM on Engadget

I worked in retail in the 80's and saw the same things happening.

One person returned cartridge based video games and placed plastic cassette holders with some weight in it in place of the actual cartridge. Got away with it too - the chick at the return desk never looked inside.

Another interesting trick was someone used a roll of dimes to pay for a purchase. Inside the roll of dimes there were a few pennies in place of some of the dimes which had been filed down to fit perfectly! What a lot of work to save a few cents!!!

Palm announces webOS platform

Jan 8th 2009 3:32PM on Engadget

Yeah I wonder about backwards compatibility as well. I have a ton of apps I would miss.

Also agree about the other language support. How could one write TCPMP/Coreplayer in Javascript???

Otherwise looks pretty slick.

No mention of backward compatibility....

Nintendo announces the Wii MotionPlus at E3

Jul 15th 2008 12:54PM on Engadget

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!!!

HIS iClear claims to reduce noise, really just fills an empty PCIe slot

Where is the green marker?

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
