7200RPM drives trouble some MacBook Pro owners with mystery beeps

Jul 9th 2009 3:16PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

I've heard this when moving my MBP17 or tapping a little harder than normal. No system freeze when it happens, but it's a little scary hearing it.

Kindle 3 rumor with touchscreen 8.5 x 11-inch display returns

Feb 27th 2009 5:22PM on Engadget

I will wait until they have a color version that also does native PDFs. This seems like something Adobe would be jumping on.

Authors Guild president: Kindle's a swindle

Feb 25th 2009 6:41PM on Engadget

So does this mean the author's guild wants to charge me every time I read my kid Goodnight Moon because the copy I have only covers print royalties and not audiobook royalties? What is the difference if I get a computer or a human to read me a book? Sounds like more attemps to grab whatever undeserved cash they can out of my pockets.

mophie's Juice Pack Air: world's thinnest iPhone 3G battery / case

Feb 11th 2009 9:58PM on Engadget

Now if only they would combine one of these with a Griffin Clarifi, I would be all set. And then I could ebay my current Mophie. It really does come in handy A LOT!

Verizon Hub hands-on and impressions

Feb 8th 2009 10:08AM on Engadget

Not very portable is it? And paying them for something that should be free? No thanks.

Samsung to release 12 megapixels of cameraphone foolishness this month?

Feb 8th 2009 10:05AM on Engadget

Any idea if we'll be able to see the CCD sensor with the human eye?

Verizon Hub "landline slayer" officially unveiled

Jan 25th 2009 10:00AM on Engadget

Yeah funny thing is, I already have a hub that I take around with me everywhere I go. It's already killed our land line, which we only answer when we recognize the CallerID, and have not had long distance service on for about 10 years. Thanks Verizon, but I have what I need in my iPhone.

T-Mobile G1 now available

Oct 22nd 2008 3:28PM on Engadget

Looks like a Fisher Price palm pilot. No thanks.

Win one of 5 copies of Clips

Last thing I copied was some PHP code between windows in a VNC session.

AppLoop brings automated application development to the iPhone

Oct 20th 2008 10:19PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

The tsunami of duplicate garbage iphone applications has just eclipsed the sun.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
