Really, really tweak your ride: the Unidrive has arrived {Engadget}
Jul 23rd 2008 5:40PM You don't need to be a grease monkey to understand engine basics (block, heads, pistons, conn rods, valves, ...) or drivetrain (ujoints/shaft), etc.
Just pick up a copy of "How Engines Work" or similar title and read for 1-4 hours (depending upon your memory abilities).
The tricky part of modern engines is the fact that computer and sensors eliminate direct connection between anything now.
S60 Touch screen shots look like... S60 with touch {Engadget}

Panasonic's Atom-based UMPC Toughbook preps for shipment {Engadget}
Jun 23rd 2008 3:05PM So you've used Vista for a week and think it's the bomb?
I've used it for 5 months and think it IS a bomb. There's a reason IT depts are staying away from it like hotcakes.
Shenzhen EM-2811 "Latte ICE" is actually kind of neat {Engadget}

Gigabyte M704 unboxing video excites reviewer, may put you to sleep {Engadget}
Jun 22nd 2008 1:37PM snarky arses...don't mind them.
Your review was fairly complete and desirable for those actually considering purchase.
What I've seen that I don't like: keyboard, no tablet pc OS, shield for dock which w/get lost, no media center edition.
It's telling that you couldn't figure out function of a couple of the buttons on front...this means bad graphics design...s/be intuitive.
For this form factor I like the Samsung Ultra better...split keybd is usable on the go.
Hanbit's Pepper Pad 3 returns with Intel's Atom inside {Engadget}
Jun 17th 2008 8:12PM Their hardware is 100%...it was the half-assed linux/java distro which killed it (mostly the java part).
The split keyboard worked incredible well and I got quite proficient. The CIR (tv remote ir) worked like a charm...very nice thing to have on a webpad for livingroom/bedroom/etc.
TSA's Millimeter scanners see through clothes, installed at 10 airports {Engadget}
Jun 6th 2008 8:40PM I am sooo glad I'm being protected from plastic and ceramic weapons....there are oh so many of these.
Glocks are all plastic right?!? Save me jesus now.
Just harden the cockpit door man.
Oregon Scientific's ATC5K and ATC3K action cameras are ready for, you know, action {Engadget}
Jun 6th 2008 1:43PM I have one mounted on the rail at bow of my boat and it works excellent.
My only issue is that it doesn't support SDHC cards and you can't fill the card with video (approx. 45mins)....only 20min clips are supported.

Jun 6th 2008 1:42PM That's called a defective unit...time to return.
Microsoft to bring Sync to other carmakers as Microsoft Auto in November {Engadget}
May 7th 2008 7:42PM I don't want their computer in the car...I want to embed MY computer in the car.
The car should merely provide better I/O to my mobile umpc/pmp/tabletPC, etc.
I could have surround speakers (via BT audio source profile), bigger display (vga/hdmi input...not on most mobile devices except htc), cameras, etc.
If bluetooth is too heavy weight for some just ensure I have an aux input jack to my car's speaker system.
My mobile device already provides most capabilities found in advanced head units and other pricey gear (cellular, wifi, gps, touchscreen, cpu, storage)...let me take advantage of it better. Upside to this is one less item worth $$$ in your car as a theft target.
